There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant turned his head to look at Han Hao again, and said, "Yuan Si, I will lead the troops to Ruxukou to fight against Yuan Shu, and I will give you full responsibility for the supply of food and grass in the rear and the security of Jinling City... Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Both Chen Qun and Sima Lang are talented in politics, but they are not good at military management. Only you can take on the fundamental task of defending me. After I leave, you will have the full power to decide everything in Jinling City. Life and death are all yours. From."

Han Hao has never seen him talking to him in such a serious manner since he first met the potter, and he knew in his heart that this was the biggest difficulty that Jinling City had encountered since its reform. This battle was not only about Jinling City His life and death are also related to the status of Jinling City in the world in the future.

Han Hao corrected his color, bowed to the potter and said solemnly: "If Han Hao is here, there will be Jinling, so you can rest assured."

The pottery merchant sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the pottery merchant's shoulder, and said, "I'm even more worried when you say that... Han Hao is gone, and Jinling City will be here too! Your answer makes me very dissatisfied. "

When Han Hao heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.

I really misjudged him, I finally thought that he was serious for a while, but it turned out that he was still like this bird!

I'm gone, Jinling City will be here too?

What do I owe you?

Why did I sell it to you?

Han Hao snorted unhappily, and said, "Han's whole family is dead, and Jinling City must be preserved. Mr. Tao, are you satisfied with this answer?"

The potter still shook his head: "Not satisfied."

Han Hao was a little anxious when he heard the words.

This is too bullying.

"Tell me, Mr. Fu, what exactly do you want Hao to do? Are you satisfied? Could it be that I still have to swear on my ancestor of the Han family?"

The potter corrected his color and said seriously to Han Hao: "If Jinling City is here, Han Hao is also here. Of course, your whole family must be here! No one is allowed, do you understand what I mean?...Of course It doesn't matter if your ancestors are here or not, they are gone anyway."

Han Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the potter fixedly, his lips trembled for some reason, and his eyes were moist.

After a long while, Han Hao bowed deeply to the potter, and agreed generously.

"Han Hao swears here that he will do what the Lord wishes."

……

Ruxukou in later generations refers to the water mouth between Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain. Ruxu Mountain is located in the border of Dongguan Town, Hanshan County today, and Linhe is called Dongguan. Qibao Mountain is located in Huanglong Township, Wuwei County, Linhe. Let Guan be called Xiguan.

The two mountains confront each other, and the situation is dangerous. It is the exit of Chaohu Lake. The Ruxu water flows from Ruxukou to the mouth of Huangluo River and turns south, passing through Cangtou Town to Makou Gate and entering the Makou River between the upper and lower Jiulianxu. It enters the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Shentang River.

It can be said that Ruxukou is located near Chaohu Lake, where it is connected to mountains, plains, and waterways. It can be fought fiercely by the army and decisively by the navy.

Once Yuan Shu passed Ruxukou, he could cross the Yangtze River and approach Jinling City.

After the army of pottery merchants arrived, they cooperated with the army and the people, and at an extremely fast speed, they used stones, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and hurriedly built a stone fortress that could resist foreign invaders.

Although Yuan Shu had a lot of soldiers and horses, most of them were freshly recruited, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. However, the potter's [-] troops and horses were all bandits and officers who had been on the battlefield in the past. Far above Yuan Shujun.

But the potter's army has a shortcoming.

Although Danyang County had some warships that Zhou Xin had left for him, it did not have a decent naval force. Although Yuan Shu's navy was not powerful, it had a lot of warships, especially after he captured Shouchun. After that, he obtained a large number of warships in Liyang's dock, which were enough for him to expand a huge navy, which is what the potter is most worried about now.

Once the land battle fails and Yuan Shu organizes his troops to divert and go south, the potters will have no power to stop him from marching into Jinling City.

Chapter 223 You Send a Letter and I Reply (Fourth Change)

After the Ruxuwu fortress was built, Chen Deng and Guo Jia advised him about the fact that Jinling City did not have a navy as a barrier.

The potter also knew the seriousness of this matter.

If this matter really gets out of hand, then he can only rely on Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other pirates from the Yangtze River.

The pottery merchant immediately wrote a letter himself, and sent someone to send it to Gan Ning instead.

Better to prepare early.

In addition to sending a letter to Gan Ning, the pottery merchant also asked Chen Deng to choose a diplomat who was good at diplomacy to go to Xiangyang in Jingzhou instead of him.

He asked that famous speaker to persuade Liu Biao, the big boss of Jingzhou who is now in full swing, instead of him.

Within a few days after Ruxuwu was built, Yuan Shu's army, under his own command, arrived at the plain position to the west of Ruxuwu, set up camp according to the water level upstream, and approached Ruxuwu where the pottery merchants lived.

After Yuan Shu set up camp, he sent someone to send a letter of war to the pottery merchant.

This letter is not so much a letter of war as a letter of coercion and lure.

Or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a coercive letter.

Yuan Shu's words in the letter were extremely arrogant. He first reprimanded the prefect of Danyang, a pottery merchant, for being unfairly named, and that it was conferred by the rebel Dong Zhuo. A reasonable candidate for the prefect of Danyang to be the prefect of Danyang, one of the reasons he came this time was to take back Danyang County that should not be managed by pottery merchants for Wu Jing.

Second, Yuan Shu also reprimanded the pottery merchants for colluding with Yuan Shao's rebels, being willing to be dogs and horses, obeying the commands of Yuan Shao's rebels, and even intending to make Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, the emperor, which is really treasonous.

Thirdly, he claimed that this time he was leading an elite army of [-], invincible, and the thieves tied their hands. Before attacking Danyang County in the east, wherever the soldiers and horses went, it could be said that they were invincible. Yuan Shu even boasted in the letter, With his current power, it is no problem to flatten three or five Danyang counties.

In the end, Yuan Shu made a profound summary, hoping that the pottery merchants could assess the situation and hand over to Danyang County, so as to protect the young and old in the county.

If the pottery merchant can surrender in a timely manner, Yuan Shu will make the pottery merchant a rich man and be rich for life in the face of the former alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo.

If the potters are obsessed with their obsessions, then I'm sorry, when the city of Jinling was destroyed, there would be no chickens, dogs, humans or animals left, and the potters themselves would have to be thrown out of their hearts and bones.

The tone of Yuan Shu's letter was extremely arrogant. Judging from the tone of his letter, it seemed that the winner was already in his hands, and the potter and the others were like fish on a chopping board, allowing him to slaughter at will.

There is no one in sight, and even this.

Hearing that Yuan Shu's envoy finished his belief, and the others were still not doing well, Xu Chu couldn't help being the first.

But seeing Hu Chi strode forward, grabbed the messenger by the neck, and pulled him fiercely in front of him, glared at him fiercely, and roared angrily: "Yuan Shu thief, how dare you do this? Let's see a certain family kill you, the vassal traitor who delivered the letter first, and then kill Yuan Shu in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Chu drew out the knife from his waist and made a gesture to chop off the messenger's head.

When the messenger saw this posture, he was in a hurry. While struggling ineffectively, he said in a panic: "The two armies are fighting, let's fight without cutting! Let's fight without cutting!"

Xu Chu gave a heavy "bah" to the ground, and said in a naive voice: "If you don't cut it, then you can pretend, right? It's useless to say anything else! A certain family has to change this rule today. "

"Zhongkang stay here!" Chen Deng hurriedly stood up, shouted to stop Xu Chu, and said: "The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, the other envoy is right, Zhongkang must not make mistakes, lest the world will be convinced. "

Xu Chu heard that although he was still angry, he still recovered a little knowing that he stopped his hands angrily, and turned his head to look at the potter.

The potter was not angry at all, he just nodded calmly, and said lightly: "Chen Deng is right, Zhongkang, let him go."

Xu Chu disobeyed everyone, but regarded the words of the pottery merchant as an imperial decree. Seeing that he had said so, he no longer made things difficult for the emissary, but seeing Hu Chi casually throw the emissary in his hand, he just threw the emissary ass Crouching, he himself stood aside angrily.

The pottery merchant looked at the messenger with a smile, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I surprised you."

The messenger was sitting on the ground, still submerged in the fear just now, when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up, bowed and said: "No, no, Mr. Tao is polite."
