There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"That's right, that child is now my wife's valet, and to me and my wife, he is like a real daughter."

Gong Du tsk-tsk praised at the side: "I don't know if Grand Tutor can let me wait to see Huang Tianwu?"

The pottery merchant gently put down the wine jue and said, "What are you doing seeing her?"

"After all, he is the orphan of the great virtuous teacher. As a former general of the great virtuous teacher, we should pay homage to him." Liu Pi smiled obsequiously.

The pottery merchant looked at the two expressionlessly when he heard the words.

After pondering for a while, he stretched out two fingers to both Liu Pi and Gong.

"Both of you, Mr. Tao is out of tune on weekdays. I think it's the first time I've met you. I have two things that I would like to ask you to listen to. Is it possible?"

"What do you want to tell me?" Liu Pi and Gong both said hastily.

The pottery merchant said slowly: "First, the child didn't care what her surname or name was before, but now, she is just an ordinary child in my mansion who has a relationship with my wife that is more like a mother and daughter. It's taboo in my place in Xuzhou, I'm not allowed to say it, and I don't allow any insider to spread it...Second, the previous generation's affairs, the previous generation's people can decide the cause and effect, she is a girl, there is no need to carry it With such a heavy burden and responsibility, she can't handle a plate as big as a yellow scarf! You go to see her, it won't make her feel better, on the contrary, it will just hurt her, understand? That child is like my own daughter Similarly, if anyone harms him, I will kill him!...Of course, if you just want to see if the orphan of the old master is doing well, Tao can arrange for you to look at her from afar At a glance, what do you two think?"

After hearing what the pottery said, the two couldn't help but fell silent, and at the same time trembled in their hearts.

What is this called?

When I was young, I saw Liu Pi cupping his hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Tao Taifu is indeed a sincere gentleman, just like the rumors, alas! It's just us who are out of the way! The Taifu treats the orphan of a great virtuous teacher like this Enyi, how dare the two of us disrespect the Grand Tutor, the three of us have a population of [-] households, and more than [-] soldiers and horses. From today onwards, we are willing to submit all of them to the Grand Tutor, and the three of us are also willing to be the Grand Tutor. Fu's pawns, from now on, the saddle and the horse, will die."

Hearing this, the pottery merchant smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Now Pei's population and soldiers will not be sufficient, and the defense on the western front will be weak.

If these three Yellow Turban armies joined, whether it was in terms of the source of troops or the population of Peiguo, it would greatly enrich Peiguo at the front end of the western front, and greatly strengthen the defense capabilities of Xuzhou and the border area of ​​the Central Plains.

The Tao merchant stood up and smiled at the two of them: "Tao has always admired and longed for the heroes of the Yellow Turbans. Ever since he hit Baibo Valley, he was willing to surrender to my Xuzhou Yellow Turban brothers. Tao always treated them like brothers... ...Hu Cai and Guan Hai are the best examples! They were all touched by Tao's sincerity, and they are willing to work for my Tao...you two say, right?"

After saying this, Guan Hai and Hu Cai's expressions froze.

The two looked at each other, both showing dry and embarrassed smiles.

"Yes……"

The potter was a little dissatisfied.

How do you feel it's forced?

At this moment, Zhou Cang, who had been silent all this time, stood up.

"Teacher, a certain family has something to say!"

Only then did the pottery merchant look at him who had been silent all this time.

Zhou Cang's figure was extremely tall, with a handsome appearance and a full beard, he looked quite similar to Xu Chu.

Just by looking at him like this, you can tell that he is just like Xu Chu...he is also a fool!

As soon as he stood up to speak, the pottery merchant straightened his face and said with a smile, "General Zhou, what do you want to say? We are all a family, so you don't have to be polite."

Zhou Cang cupped his hands towards the potter, and said, "A certain family has something they want to explain to the Taifu!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhou Cang straightened his back and said loudly: "In the Runan Yellow Turban, besides the three of us, there are Huang Shao, He Yi, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Shao and many other forces. They also know that Huang Tianwu is in the hands of the Grand Tutor. , but they would rather surrender to Cao Cao than surrender to the Grand Tutor, does the Grand Tutor know why?"

Chapter 421 Zhou Cang Contest

Unexpectedly, what Zhou Cang wanted to talk about with him was actually this, which was beyond the potter's imagination.

Tao Shang is also an old man, since he saw Zhou Cang for the first time, he was able to come out. Although this reckless man joined him with Liu Pi and Gong, he was not very convinced.

But that's good too, unlike a villain like Liu Pigongdu, once such a person really surrenders, he will be determined and will never regret it.

The pottery merchant laughed, and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. They don't belong to Tao, but to Cao Cao. Tao will never force him! But I probably know the reason why they refused to surrender to me. He Man, Tian Yecha, died at my hand. I heard that this man also belonged to the Runan Yellow Turban. Could it be because of him? However, He Man hijacked Xu Zhuang and killed the people indiscriminately. The pottery merchant took care of him because he deserved what he deserved. That’s all, I have no regrets about it.”

Zhou Cang shook his head and said, "He Man's death is his own fault. Besides, how can anyone survive in a war? The Yellow Turban and the Grand Tutor are their own masters. What's the point of this matter?"

The potter was interested: "Oh? Then according to your opinion, why?"

Zhou Cang said loudly: "Runan Yellow Turban, except for the three of us, the reason why the others are still unwilling to surrender to the Grand Tutor is because they think that the Grand Tutor is young, while Cao Cao is old, and the soldiers under the Grand Tutor's command are strong. , not as good as Cao Cao."

The pottery merchant couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

"Tao is not as strong as Cao Cao? Cao Cao was defeated by me back then, don't you know?"

Zhou Cang replied: "Teacher is referring to the matter of the emperor moving Fandu? You rescued the emperor from Cao Cao's hands. It is indeed amazing! But everyone knows that the Taifu took advantage of the vacancy, not confronted him head-on. If it is a direct confrontation, the Runan Yellow Turbans think that you may not be Cao Cao's opponent."

The potter frowned, looked at Zhou Cang firmly, and said, "Do you think so too?"

Zhou Cang pondered for a while, and said honestly: "Teacher, to be honest, a certain family is very uncertain about this matter now. When Cao Cao went south to conquer Runan County, his fierce generals went everywhere to conquer them, and a certain family also ate them. What a pity... Last time, the general of the Cao army, named Yan Xing, fought against a certain family that ran everywhere in Mangdang Mountain.

The Tao merchant heard that Zhou Cang, a reckless man, wanted to test the level of his generals.

What an ignorant man!

It's quite vigorous, maybe it's full of muscles in the brain?You just surrendered and you are going to fight with my generals. Are you afraid that I will give you small shoes to wear in the future?

But Tao likes this straight-forward personality!

The pottery merchant smiled and turned to look at Zhao Yun behind him.

"Second brother, why not? You practice with him?"

Zhao Yun knew the elegant meaning when he heard the sound of strings, he smiled heartily, and walked out.

"General Zhou, if you don't give up, Yun will do two tricks with you, how about it?"

Zhou Cang didn't dare to neglect, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency?"

"I'm Zhao Yun."

Zhou Cang's eyes were blank: "Zhao Yun? I haven't heard of it. Doesn't the Taifu have Xu Chu under his command?"

Zhao Yun smiled: "Yun is an unknown person. It is normal that General Zhou has never heard of it. Xu Chu is now training in Pengcheng, but he has not come this time."

Zhou Cang turned his head to look at the potter, pointed at Zhao Yun, and said seriously: "Teacher, you just let this little boy fight against a certain family? I heard you called him the second brother just now? Then the certain family would not dare to fight him... …A certain family’s hands are so heavy! If you beat him to death, wouldn’t you have to make a certain family pay for it?”

The muscles on the potter's face twitched a few times, trying not to let himself laugh out loud.

How hard is it to fight back?

"Don't worry, General Zhou. Although my second brother is not well-known, he is also a battle-tested man, especially when Tao pacified Jiangnan last time. He also fought against Lu Bu. Although he didn't win, he was picked up by Lu Bu anyway. One life, I guess you won't be able to kill him in two or three hits... Besides, it's just a discussion, it's nothing to get in the way."

When Zhou Cang heard this, he looked at Zhao Yun in surprise: "General Zhao fought against Lu Bu?"
