When Han Sui saw what the potter said, he was a little confused. He looked at the potter suspiciously for a while, his hand stroking his beard floated up and down, his fingers trembled slightly, and he looked a little nervous.
The name of Mr. Taiping...not to mention, he is quite famous. The reputation spread in this world is very big and has a lot of positive energy.
With this name as a guarantee, especially with the handwriting of Tao himself, and his seal and ribbon on it, if he wanted to default on the debt later, it would really be impossible.
When thinking of this, Han Sui couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.
"Okay, since the Prime Minister is such a guarantee, I will reluctantly believe you for once."
The pottery merchant couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, and secretly thought that this old Hantou was really arrogant... and he "reluctantly" believed it even once?
However, he didn't say too much. He just pressed his seal on the notice of appointment and sent someone to hand it to Han Sui.
After Han Sui took it, his face was expressionless, but in fact he was secretly happy. He cupped his hands towards the pottery merchant and said: "Since this matter has been decided, let's ask the prime minister to make a charter and see what I will do when I turn around.
To help you?"
The pottery merchant raised his head, thought carefully, and said: "I'm going to raise troops to go to Chang'an later. Zhong Yao will definitely call all the princes in Guanzhong again to go to Chang'an to help defend the city. Han Gong returned to Chang'an, but he valued the opportunity and thought
Internal reinforcements, help us fight into the city, it's that simple."
Han Sui stroked his beard and frowned when he heard this and said, "Is it that simple?"
Tao Shang smiled softly and said: "It can't be that simple, so how difficult can it be? Does General Han have any superior tactics that he can give me? If so, you might as well tell me.
Let’s all discuss and learn from each other, and Tao is all ears.”
The muscles on Han Sui's face twitched, and a little dissatisfaction showed at the corner of his mouth, but it was quickly covered up, and he said dryly: "There is no good way."
"Since Mr. Han has no good solution, just follow what I said and do it properly." The pottery merchant smiled at him and winked at him.
After the two broke up, Han Sui secretly returned to his army.
To be honest, he was not very satisfied with the potter's attitude, but for him right now, there was only one way out.
After all, if you continue to hang out with Cao Cao, you will easily lose your life. In fact, this is not the way he imagined to surrender to the pottery merchants.
In his imagination, he should be in the midst of thousands of troops, leading thousands of troops and horses invincibly, defeating the pottery merchants at their wits' end, and finally, in desperation and longing, came to the gate of his camp with thousands of gold gifts and shouted loudly:
The sound of "old hero" thus laid the foundation for his surrender.
But the idea was very happy and the reality was very basic. Instead of calling him an old hero, the potter treated him like an old bear.
Han Sui felt unbearably bitter in his heart.
But the potter was still very good at being a good person, and he inadvertently gave Han Sui another major comfort.
After returning to Jincheng, the pottery merchant secretly sent the Mi family to give Han Sui rich gifts worth ten thousand gold in the name of trade.
It's not that Han Sui is definitely short of money, but it represents a kind of courtesy and attitude.
…
Not long after the various groups returned to their territories, news came from Chang'an City. The pottery merchant led his army and rushed out of Hangu Pass, and began to set up camp not far from Chang'an City and mobilize the army.
Zhong Yao was shocked when he learned the news.
On the one hand, he urged Hao Zhao to continue to strengthen the city defense, and on the other hand, he sent another letter to summon the princes from Xiliang and Guan to gather in Chang'an again.
Regarding Zhong Yao's actions, the attitude of many princes was obviously dismissive.
We just returned to our territory, and before our butts are warmed up, you are asking us to go back? Are you kidding me?
There is no such way to escape someone!
Damn it, the worst I can do is quit!
The princes in Guanzhong all sneered and stopped obeying Zhong Yao's call. At worst, they would surrender to the pottery merchants after Chang'an was captured.
If this back-and-forth stalemate continues, when will it end?
After Zhong Yao's messenger was sent out, there was no movement from the princes in Guanzhong for a long time. This made him very anxious, but he had no choice.
Because he could more or less figure out the current thoughts of the princes in Guanzhong.
But even if he could figure it out, there was nothing he could do.
At this time, he also understood the pottery merchant's intention in leading his troops back to Hangu Pass.
Just when Zhong Yao was in a panic, two princes, Ma Teng and Han Sui, led their elite troops and horses and arrived one after another.
Although only two people came, it was like providing help in times of need, which moved Zhong Yao very much.
At the same time, the pottery merchant's troops also began to attack.
He mobilized a large number of thunderbolt chariots, trebuchets, manholes, ladders and other large siege equipment from the Central Plains to prepare for a storming of Chang'an City.
Just when Ma Teng and Han Sui entered Chang'an City, the pottery merchants began to attack Chang'an City.
Jinling soldiers and generals operated large siege equipment and bombed Chang'an City indiscriminately.
This time, the pottery merchant did not send out death squads to attack the enemy. He only used the ejection machine to throw huge fireballs and used the manhole rails to shoot many arrows, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's city.
The entire city wall was bombarded with stones, arrows, fireballs and other objects for a whole day.
The soldiers at the top of Chang'an City were unable to hold their heads up after being bombarded for the whole day.
Fortunately, the general guarding the city was Hao Zhao. He made appropriate arrangements and stabilized the morale of the soldiers, so that the morale of the soldiers was not broken in this situation.
It was not until evening that the soldiers of the three armies gradually withdrew, and the siege equipment was put away by the Jinling Army.
But Cao Jun in the city finally regained his composure a little.
Looking at the Jinling Army that was gradually retreating, Hao Zhaofang raised his head and sighed.
He turned to Zhong Yao, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Zhong, what should we do now?"
Zhong Yao was also frightened by such a random beating by the enemy. He looked around at the gray-headed and defeated soldiers defending the city, and said helplessly: "Tao Thief is really cunning! Instead of sending troops to attack, he used this
This method makes our soldiers feel satisfied and lowers their morale... It's a vicious attack on the heart."
Hao Zhao showed a wry smile. He also understood the other party's plan, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Ma Teng and Han Sui appeared behind them.
Han Sui said to Zhong Yao: "The pottery merchants did not attack the city. Instead, they used stones and arrows to demoralize our army. Although it did not harm the city, it had a great impact on morale. It cannot continue like this. Mr. Zhong, we need to do something else."
