There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

And this time, the potter not only brought medicine for golden sores, but also the seal ribbon of General Zhengbei that he fiddled with during the day.

When the seal was placed in front of Qu Yi, for some reason, this man whose eyes were above the top of his head actually shed tears.

Of course, these tears were not tears of emotion, and the potter didn't expect a cold-hearted person like him to be grateful.

The potter knew that Qu Yi felt remorse and grievance.

But that's okay, it's enough to have remorse and grievances.

At least this incident will calm him down for a while.

"General Qu, don't blame me. Although I know your ability and your ability, but the matter is in front of you. If you lose, you lose. Besides, there are military orders. No matter what, you must punish me slightly, otherwise it will not be enough." Conquering the three armies, Tao Mou ruled millions of households, some things should not be favoritism, I hope you can understand."

Although Qu Yi was arrogant, he was not a fool, he nodded vigorously, and said: "The general knows that this is the general's defeat in front of the battle, it has nothing to do with the prime minister, and the general deserves to die."

The Tao merchant smiled slightly, and said: "Death is not a crime. You are a rare famous general in the world. If you let you die, Tao is reluctant to get the seal of the general who conquered the North. The general will keep it for now. This military position will be yours sooner or later. The time is not right now, after this revenge and meritorious service, Tao will definitely avenge today's vengeance for the general."

The Tao merchant gave Qu Yi face in this way, no matter how ignorant Qu Yi was, he would not blame the potter, and he rarely expressed his gratitude to the potter.

He checked Qu Yi's injuries again, and after confirming that there was no problem, the pottery merchant told him to rest well before he walked out of the tent.

Outside the handsome tent, Guo Jia was waiting for him outside.

"Hehe, how does Guo feel that Qu Yi's defeat, and the military order that took the opportunity to beat him up, were premeditated by you?" Guo Jia said with a smile to expose him.

Tao Shang rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, how can I be willing to let my general lose the battle, besides, I am not a living god, how would I know who is coming to fight Qu Yi."

Guo Jia shook his head lightly, pondered for a while, secretly thought the same.

If these things can be calculated by the surname Tao, then this kid has become too scary now.

"By the way, who was the one who defeated Qu Yi? I heard it was Liu Pan? Does he really have this ability?" The potter asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Although the chief general is Liu Pan, he is also capable and talented, but according to the school affairs report, the one who really defeated Qu Yi was Liu Pan's general named Huang Zhong. People are not only good at fighting, but also know how to use soldiers, which is very remarkable."

The pottery merchant suddenly realized when he heard the words: "It turned out to be this old hooligan. It seems that this time, there are really many powerful opponents."

Chapter 6 and Seventeen

When the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants arrived in Changwu County, Liu Pan had already led a group of soldiers and horses to the rear to follow Liu Biao's order to form a formation. He handed over the entire Changwu County to Huang Zhong to guard.

After Liu Biao learned of Huang Zhong's great achievements, he immediately promoted him to partial general, and paid Huang Zhong with fine armor, a large shield, and [-] elite soldiers from the rear for his dispatch, and asked him to guard Changwu County carefully. .

The reason why Sanliu's main force did not arrive was because they discussed and decided to first meet with Huang Zu and deploy defenses in various waterways.

Right now, to a certain extent, the waterways of Jiangxia County are more important than the land routes, and now Liu Biao and others are committed to defending the water and land, so they can remain invincible. It's Huang Zhong.

Because this fifty-year-old man, to a certain extent, has already proven his own ability, even Qu Yi was defeated by him. Liu Biao believes that as long as he can stick to it steadily, Huang Zhong will definitely be able to stop the potter's land battle The way of entering the army.

But unfortunately, Liu Biao ignored an important point. He and Qu Yi had the same problem, that is, they didn't understand their enemies too well.

Liu Biao knew that the potter was very powerful, but he also felt that he was very powerful. In his opinion, he had lived decades longer than the potter and ate more salt than he ate rice. Not his opponent.

What's more, I have Liu Zhang and Liu Bei to help me.

Even Qu Yi, a famous general in Hebei, lost to Changwu City, but when it comes to the ability and strength of leading troops in battle, Liu Biao thinks that pottery merchants may not be Qu Yi's opponent.

He judged the potter's ability according to the method of one plus one equals two, and put too much emphasis on the deployment of water warfare. This is really Liu Biao's mistake.

After arriving under the city of Changwu, the potter took a general look around and found that although the city of Changwu County was not big, it was quite well-defended. From morning to night, there are guards and soldiers who take turns, never relaxing for a moment.

"It seems that Huang Zhong has a lot of skills?" Tao Shang smiled and said to Guo Jia who was following him to observe the city defense.

Guo Jia also praised and hurriedly said: "Huang Zhong not only guards the city tightly, but also loves the people. I heard that he has already approached the people living in the periphery of the city, and all of them have moved to the inner city. Now the capital camped around the city gate It is the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, if they act like this, if the city is really breached, the number of people who suffer from the war will also be greatly reduced."

The pottery merchant nodded suddenly when he heard the words. He looked around and found that there was a mountain not far from the south gate of Changwu County. .

The pottery merchant told Guo Jia, "Let's go climbing together and see if the situation in the city is as you said?"

Guo Jia sighed and laughed, "Why don't you believe me? Mr. Guo is in charge of the school affairs office. Could it be that he can't even do this well?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the world is changing. The information you brought back yesterday may have been changed by Huang Zhong today. You should be more cautious about some things. After the victory in Guandu, Because of this victory, many generals and soldiers in the army became too arrogant, impatient, and not as cautious as before. The victory brought them too many potential dangers and negative effects, making them unclear about their opponents, I can’t even see my current situation clearly, as the coach, I should lead by example.”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, then suddenly heaved a long sigh, and agreed: "At your age, it's really amazing that you can say such a thing!"

The potter smiled slightly, but didn't answer.

As a human being in two lifetimes, I can't be in the same breath as an ordinary 25-year-old youth.

The two led the guards to the top of Shanli, and took advantage of the steepness of the mountain to look towards the city.

The current situation in the city is indeed as Guo Jia said, the residents of the outer city have basically been relocated to the inner city, and now the Jingzhou army is stationed around the city, and their living and dispatching in the city are very suitable art of war.

Guo Jia sighed, and said: "Although this place is small, it looks like it is not easy to destroy. Liu Biao's main force is in the waterway. I am afraid that Gan Ning and the others will not be able to support them. The prime minister might as well leave a general here to restrain them. Huang Zhong, how about you personally lead the Chinese army to support the naval army?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "With no land access, how can the naval forces be hostile to the Jingzhou army? They are not the same naval forces under Yuan Shu's command that have not practiced for a long time, but you said that Liu Biao's main force is there, which is also reasonable. Let Xu Huang, Xu Rong and others lead the Chinese army on my behalf to support Gan Ning and confront the enemy's main force, and I will lead a small number of troops to stay here and personally open up the land route here."

When Guo Jia heard this, he became a little anxious: "For a Huang Zhong? Isn't it worthwhile for you, a big prime minister, to be restrained here?"

The potter smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Everything needs to start with small things. This Huang Zhong is by no means simple. We should not underestimate it."

"Report!"

While the two were talking, the Tiger Guards under Pei Qian hurried over and presented a letter to the pottery merchant, saying: "I want to report to the prime minister, Huang Zhong sent an envoy to my camp, and sent an envoy to the prime minister. Put up this gauntlet!"

"The letter of war?" The pottery merchant took the scroll of bamboo slips suspiciously, and then read it carefully.

After watching it for a while, the potter couldn't hold back his joy and giggled himself.

He then handed the bamboo slips to Guo Jia and said, "What kind of letter of challenge is this? It's clearly a questioning letter to sow discord."

Guo Jia unfolded the bamboo slips, but saw that it detailed the previous incident between himself and Qu Yi, and mocked the pottery merchants for their lax military law and partiality to Qu Yi. It just corresponds to the four words of unknown reward and punishment.

"This old guy is not only capable of fighting, but unexpectedly he is also a bit wicked." Guo Jia smiled and threw the slip back to a Tiger Guard guard, and said, "What is the prime minister planning to do?"

The pottery merchant touched the bridge of his nose lightly, and said: "This old rascal wants to play tricks on me, but I don't want to follow his tricks. I just ask someone to write a letter back to him for me, and I have to be a bit tougher." Yes, let him surrender within three days, if not, I will wipe out his county."

The reply letter from the pottery merchant fell into Huang Zhong's hands, which made Huang Zhong dazed.

I have heard for a long time that Mr. Taiping is a humble and polite gentleman, why is the letter so overbearing?

Not only did he speak in a sharp tone, but he also asked himself to surrender within three days, or he would kill the county town and razed it to the ground?

In particular, it also highlights that the potter's methods are definitely not something that Huang Zhong can afford!

Is this what a gentleman should say?

Do you want to be so sharp?
