There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "I said it, but he didn't say I would die? Are you a servant?"

At this moment, I saw the medical officer rushing in front of the potter, panting out of breath, and said, "Prime Minister, I didn't finish what I said just now, why did you leave? The old man told you just now, General Zhao's injury, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't be easy to heal, and he needs to recuperate for a while."

The potter's face turned black all of a sudden.

He stood up, smiled slightly at the old medical officer, and said, "Why are you panting for breath?"

The old medical officer sighed helplessly, and said: "Old, old man has always been panting like this since he was a child."

The pottery merchant patted him on the shoulder, and said: "This is a disease that needs to be cured. You are a medical officer, why can't you cure your own mouth? Turn around and quickly rectify this problem, otherwise it will not only harm yourself, but also harm you." people."

"No, no, no!"

The pottery merchant asked Zhao Yun to take good care of him, and then he went to find Li Tong. It was a while before the fire was put out, and although there were still sporadic fires burning everywhere, they did not pose any serious danger.

The efficiency of firefighting in ancient times was much higher than that of later generations. They all relied on manpower to manually transport water and sand to control the fire. People have a headache.

Fortunately, there is a water source in Qigu, which is next to the Tunliang camp.

When the potter saw Li Tong, Li Tong was still unkempt and smoky.

Judging from this situation, Li Tong seemed to have suffered a lot tonight, at least he went to fight the fire himself.

After all, he can be regarded as the leader of an army, and it is really not easy to be able to do this.

The pottery merchant stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Da, it's really hard this time."

Li Tong hastily clasped his fists at the potter, and said: "Don't dare, the last general lost his protection of the grain, and was attacked by Liu Bei and caused such a loss. I am really ashamed. Even though I will die a hundred times, I cannot forgive someone's crime."

The pottery merchant waved his hand lightly, and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I was tricked by the other party this time, and it's all about finding the place again in the future. How much can we lose this time? "

Li Tong wiped the sweat off his brow, and said in a low voice, "There are far more than what has been preserved."

"Roughly how many?"

Li Tong lowered his head and said a number to the potter.

The smile on the potter's face became somewhat stiff.

"So much does that mean that the remaining food and fodder is only enough for our army to use and dispatch for a month?"

Li Tong nodded helplessly.

The pottery merchant sighed, he had 30 soldiers and horses under his command, and the daily consumption of food and grass was huge, but fortunately Jinling and Xuzhou were rich, so it was not a big problem.

Since he led the army, except when he first started fighting the Baibo army, he never seemed to worry about food and grass.

But this time, the situation was a bit beyond his imagination.

He arranged for Han Hao, Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and others to help him raise these grains and fodder from various counties. Now that he has lost so much, the remaining grain and fodder is only enough for one month.

Not to mention this month's time, whether our side can collect enough food and grass, it can be raised, but so many military supplies are only coordinated and dispatched from the counties and townships in the south of the Yangtze River. Shipped to the frontline army, these jobs alone, I am afraid it will take more than a month

If he wanted to replenish the general's needs for food and grass again, based on the abilities of Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and others, the potter estimated that they would have to give them at least two months.

But in this way, there was a time difference of one month in between.

This matter is somewhat difficult.

The pottery merchant rubbed his brows helplessly, and began to feel somewhat worried.

In the Battle of Guandu back then, facing Yuan Shao's overwhelming army of soldiers and horses, he didn't seem to feel so difficult like today.

"Prime Minister?" Li Tong's voice interrupted the potter's train of thought: "What should we do next?"

The potter pondered for a while, and said: "Take stock of the remaining grain and fodder, and transport it to the main camp. There is only one month's grain storage, but there is no need to set up a grain storage place. It will be transported to the army. As for the next step, I have my own way." .”

Tao Shang's words are pure bragging, he just wants to stabilize the morale of the army first, as for the method, he really has no good idea at the moment.

He is not a good money printing machine, he can change money if he wants to, let alone food.

But right now, for the potters, the easiest and most direct way is to defeat Cao Cao and Sanliu's alliance army within a month!

But the problem is that this difficulty does not seem to be lower than raising food.

Chapter 821 Gossip

"Hahaha! Cough, cough!"

After listening to Liu Bei's report, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing, but because he laughed too hard, he accidentally choked himself, and almost coughed out his lungs after laughing.

"Brother!" Seeing this, Liu Bei hurried forward, supported Liu Biao, and stroked his back vigorously.

After Liu Biao coughed hard for a while, he waved his hand to Liu Bei, indicating that there was no problem.

When he was young, he smiled at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande has worked hard, you have made great contributions this time."

Liu Bei shook his head hastily: "Bei is just a pawn. Wherever there is any credit, it is because of the elder brother's command."

Cao Cao sat next to him, quietly watching Liu Biao and Liu Bei brothers play, and a sarcastic smile flashed across his mouth.

But that little smile was only fleeting, and Cao Cao's expression quickly changed to worry.

"Brother Jing Sheng, you still need to take care of your health. You are the courage of the three armies, and your safety depends on the three armies."

Liu Biao said with a smile: "Lao Mengde is worried, don't worry, the old man is only infected with a small illness, and it will not hinder the big thing."

Cao Cao nodded and said with emotion: "That's good, that's good."

Liu Biao looked at him and said, "Meng De, our plan to attack the potter's granary, although we didn't succeed, but it also burned part of his grain and grass. What should we do next?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard, smiled and said: "I have also discussed this matter with many people under my command. I think that the pottery merchant has a strong foundation and a lot of money and grain. It can definitely be collected completely, but it will take time, if we take advantage of this time period to storm the potters and spread the message to their army, disturbing their morale, it will be a success!"

Liu Biao seemed to understand Cao Cao's thoughts. He stroked his white beard and pondered, "What does Meng De mean to strike first?"

Cao Cao nodded: "If we don't take advantage of this moment to attack, I'm afraid we won't have this good opportunity in the future. Cao is willing to be the vanguard!"

When Liu Biao heard what Cao Cao said, he became suspicious.

Cao Cao is also a vassal. This person is treacherous, cunning, resourceful and decisive. He will definitely not make a loss-making business.

He is so anxious to fight to be the vanguard against the potters, must there be something behind this?

Could it be that the potters are really powerless right now?In a weak season?

If this is the case, then I can't let Cao Cao take the lead!

At that moment, Liu Biao stood up with a smile and said to Cao Cao: "Since it is the critical season to determine victory or defeat, how can we let Mr. Cao go alone? Do you have to work together?"
