There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Suddenly, a fragment came into my mind.

After he just came back from time travel, he wiped his ass with the official document, which made Tao Qian furious and beat up the pottery merchant.

At that time, according to Tao Qian, the secret official document was written by Zhu Jun to Tao Qian about the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Judging from this matter, the relationship between Zhu Jun and Tao Qian should be unusual.

But think about it.

Tao Qian talked about his age and seniority. He was a figure of the same period as Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and others. When he served in the court, he probably had a good relationship.

When Zhu Jun issued the Jiaozhao, besides Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other wealthy figures, Tao Qian also got a copy, which is enough to see how much Zhu Jun attaches importance to Tao Qian.

Seeing the potter's silence, Guo Jia continued: "Besides, when the princes responded to the Jiaozhao to attack Dong Zhuo, your father Tao Shijun once recommended Zhu Jun to be the general of chariots and cavalry, and also recommended him as the leader of the alliance. However, in the end, because Yuan Shao was in the limelight and won the hearts of the princes, he put the matter on hold."

Pottery merchant heaved a long sigh of relief, suddenly realized, nodded and said: "So, to send troops to defend Dong Zhuo this time, with the relationship between my father and Zhu Jun, I, Xuzhou, can't send troops?"

Guo Jiayan said: "That's right, there are probably [-]% or [-]% troops in Xuzhou, and even without the relationship between your father and Zhu Jun, Guo thinks you should go."

The potter was a little surprised: "Why?"

Guo Jia pondered for a while, and then said: "Because of Wushi Powder...Guo always felt that the medicinal properties of Wushi Powder were so strong that although eating it appeared to be hyperactive, it was actually like a chronic poison. Dong Zhuo After eating Wushi powder, his interest became so impulsive and belligerent. Guo felt that this was definitely not a good sign for him. The old thief’s lifespan might end at any time. Guo had a premonition... "

The potter raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and felt that it was too arbitrary for Guo Jia to let him send troops just based on this evidence.

Guo Jia seemed to know that the pottery merchant would not rely on this fact alone, and immediately said: "In addition, although Dong Zhuo has the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army as his assistants, his army is unparalleled, but according to the news Li Qiao brought back from Chang'an, the Bingzhou Army The army and the Xiliang army are not monolithic under Dong Zhuo. Now the old thief eats five stones and suffers from internal problems. , if you can send troops together with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it will be a good opportunity to accumulate reputation!"

"Amassing fame? It's kind of tempting..."

Pottery merchants agree with this deeply. The pottery merchants have been able to deeply feel the benefits brought to him by the name of Mr. Taiping and Yuedan Commentary in recent years.

Guo Jia continued: "According to Guo's analysis, apart from the fact that Dong Zhuo, the leader of the thieves, was wounded by Wushi San and his mind and body were different, the Xiliang army may not win the battle if it confronts the Kwantung army head-on."

The pottery merchant didn't say a word when he heard the words. He felt more empathy than Guo Jia about this.

Before Dong Zhuo’s rebellion, the number of soldiers recruited by the county guards and governors of all parties, except for frontier places like Liangzhou and Youzhou, was strictly controlled by the central government of the Han Dynasty, and at that time there were not many governors everywhere. It wasn't until after Dong Zhuo's rebellion that the vassal governments in various places began to gradually get rid of the control of the central government, and high-ranking local supervisory officials like governors were also employed by the court like crazy in order to maintain local law and order.

The first year of Chuping was the period when the princes of the Kanto were just starting out, and there was no way to compare it with Dong Zhuo, who had strong armies in Xiliang and Bingzhou.

However, since the end of the war against Dong, the power of local warlords has entered a period of unsupervised surge. After nearly two years of recruitment and warlord melee, the strength and military strength of the princes everywhere have doubled and brutally increased!

The current strength of the Guandong princes is completely different from the time when they fought against Dong Zhuo.

Especially Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

One who conquered Han Fu's old tribe, won Jizhou, the world's granary, and got the talents of the Quartet with a huge background to vote!

In particular, Yuan Shao fought bloody battles with Gongsun Zan's army this year, training all his soldiers into elite soldiers, especially in dealing with the horse army, the Jizhou army already had a wealth of experience in battle.

The other is Cao Cao, who fought bloody battles with the Yellow Turban giants on the border between Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

After many fierce battles, the actual combat experience of Cao Mengde's soldiers has also increased significantly. Moreover, after Cao Cao defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he not only accepted the entire Yanzhou, including the former army of Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, and Bao Xin, but also received millions of troops. The population of the Yellow Turbans and the formation of Qingzhou soldiers have also greatly enhanced their strength.

Yuan, Cao, Zhu Jun, plus Dow's army, against Dong Zhuo who has many unstable factors, the odds of winning are not bad.

If this battle can really eradicate Dong Zhuo...

"In that case, shall we respond to Zhu Jun's dispatch of troops?" The pottery merchant asked Guo Jia tentatively.

Guo Jia squinted his eyes and considered for a while, then said: "Don't be in a hurry, after we confirm that Yuan and Cao will definitely send troops, it won't be too late to make calculations, and Yuan Shao will definitely write a letter to invite the lord to go with him. Fu Jun pushed the boat with the current, and it can be regarded as selling Yuan Shao's great favor, and the trouble is serious, you still have to go back to Pengcheng and discuss with Tao Shijun about the specific dispatch of troops."

……

……

After a while, as expected by Guo Jia, Dong Zhuo's Kansai army horses really began to march towards the east.

His target has nothing to do with others, it is Zhu Jun who is guarding Zhongmu County.

Dong Zhuo sent troops from Chang'an to Guanzhong, and the whole world was shocked!

Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, among the princes, Yuan Shao, who led the governor of Jizhou himself, immediately issued a call to action against Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao's lineup for going south this time is very luxurious. According to the reports from the spies of the school affairs office, Yuan Shao took Qu Yi as the main general of the Chinese army, Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the principal and deputy vanguards, and Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Gao Gan and others as the auxiliary army. You Qianzhao, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, etc. accompanied the Chinese army leaders and went south in one go.

As for the other side, Cao Cao, who was stationed in Dongjun, also ordered the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army to advance westward. According to the report of the school affairs office: Xiahou Brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Dian Wei, Yu Jin and other generals, all of them, All with the levy.

But what is surprising is that another character also began to mobilize people secretly.

That is Liu Biao of Xiangyang.

Mr. Liu was afraid that Dong Zhuo's troops would enter Wuguan and enter Wan territory, so he began to mobilize troops to Nanyang County, not for other reasons, but just to guard against the loss of Jingzhou's territory.

Beforehand, the pottery merchants dispatched some troops from Jinling City to station near Pengcheng, in order to be able to participate in this battle.

Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, Yuan Shao personally wrote a letter to Xuzhou Tao Qian, inviting him to send troops into Henan to fight against the enemy Dong Zhuo.

If one wanted to enter the territory of Henan from the direction of Danyang County, one had to go through Jiujiang County and go to the boundary of Runan, but now these territories were controlled by Yuan Shu, and the soldiers and horses of pottery merchants could not pass through the territory at all.

Therefore, if they want to support Yuan and Cao, the potters can only go to Xuzhou, and go west to Chenliu via Liang Guo.

Although Yuan Shu suffered a serious setback in the Ruxuwu battle, the pottery merchant did not dare to neglect him. After all, Yuan Erer is not an ordinary person, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

The pottery merchants left all the navy and most of the troops in Jinling, and arranged for Xu Rong, Tao Ji, Han Hao, Chen Deng, Zhou Tai and others to guard at the same time, while he and Guo Jia, Xu Chu, Xu Chu, etc. Huang, Gan Ning, Hu Cai, Yang Zhan and others led [-] elite troops to join Tao Qian in Pengcheng.

Tao Qian also attached great importance to blocking Dong Zhuo. He dispatched 2 troops from Xuzhou, led by Cao Bao, and would go west to the border of Yanzhou with the potters.

On the eve when the [-] Jinling Army and the [-] Xuzhou Army were preparing to go out, a man rushed from Danyang County to Pengcheng alone, saying that this battle must be accompanied by potters, otherwise, he would rather commit suicide by jumping into Surabaya... …

"Teacher, can you stop messing around?"

Facing Huangfusong who had a stubborn face and refused to accept oil and salt, the potter's tone was a little weak.

Huangfusong was very stubborn: "You bastard, what are you talking about? Do you dare to say that the teacher is messing around? Believe it or not, I beat you!"

Huangfusong's complexion was not good, his thin body stood in the wind, swaying, as if it could be blown away by the wind, the potter really couldn't love him more.

In such a physical condition, he still needs to be issued a certificate with the army. Doesn't it make it clear that he wants to seek death by himself?

"Teacher, the confrontation with Dong Zhuo seems dangerous, but it is actually not a serious problem. Both Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde led the army. Our strength may not be weaker than Dong Zhuo's. The apprentice can say that there is no danger. Why do you still insist on going with me? "

Huangfusong's eyes seemed to dim a bit, he smiled wryly, and said, "Do you think this old man's expedition is for you? This old man is for himself."

The potter was stunned upon hearing this.

Huangfu Song sighed for a long time, and at this moment he simply let go.

"Son, you are a born spiritual person. I'm afraid I can't hide the old man's physical condition from you. A while ago, you also specially brought that doctor Zhang Ji to see the old man... Presumably he has already done something wrong. Did I tell you everything?"
