Tao Shang's troops had already captured Nanzheng. In his mind, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were guarding the Jiange, trying their best to organize the city's defenses, fearing that one day they would attack the city.
At this moment, Tao Shang's mind was full of how to break through Jiange's strong defense and break through the throat of Sichuan and Sichuan.
Of the thirteen states in the world, Sichuan and Sichuan are the only ones that have not yet been pacified. As long as we can take down this barrier from the other side, the road ahead will be easy.
Everything seems to be solved easily.
However, the Cao and Liu coalition forces are stationed here, which is also a difficulty for everyone. The school affairs office has already done a good job of investigation, and the enemy's pass has been fully prepared, and its level of defense is unparalleled.
I'm afraid it's not advisable to attack by force, but if you don't attack by force, use outsmart...
There is Cao Cao in the opponent's pass. If he is determined to eat the weight and act like a bastard, even if the pottery merchant uses tricks, I'm afraid it won't be of much use.
Is it possible that there is no solution to this matter?
With this worry, the pottery merchant has not slept well in the past few days. One is because he is not in a good mood, and the other is because the climate in Hanzhong is relatively humid. The pottery merchant is used to living in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is
It is also relatively humid, but compared with Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong, it is completely different.
The local people are okay, but the pottery merchants are really not used to it.
That night, the potter tossed and turned in his room and couldn't sleep.
Touching the quilt that was still damp on his body, the potter couldn't help but sigh, then he got up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
The pottery merchant lives in a two-story building, which can be said to be a relatively tall building in Nanzheng City. Living here, looking into the distance, you can have an unobstructed view without any obstruction.
Although the view was very good, it was a pity that the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was so pitch black that not even a single star could be seen, which really made it feel uninteresting.
"Damn weather..." Tao Shang murmured, and wanted to turn around and go back to the bed to force himself to sleep, but suddenly he noticed that there were dots of firelight outside the city in the distance, and the firelight was getting bigger and bigger.
After a while, it actually spread into one.
The pottery merchant couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
His first reaction was... is someone organizing a bonfire dinner?
But soon, this idea was rejected by him.
It's completely impossible. Without his own consent, who would dare to set fire outside the city for fun? Aren't you afraid of being slapped?
But it was at this moment that a trace of reason quickly flashed through the potter's mind.
People who are not one of our own are setting fires for fun? Who are they?
I'm afraid there are only enemy troops!
"Bang!" The potter slammed a plate of wooden window frames...but the result was that his palms hurt.
"It's nothing..." The pottery merchant muttered to himself, then quickly dressed and ran down the small building.
Outside the small building, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that the pottery merchant was not sleeping and ran out of his house in the middle of the night.
He took two steps forward, raised his hands to the pottery merchant, and said, "The Prime Minister stayed up most of the night and was so anxious. Could it be that... he wants to find someone?"
The pottery merchant was suffocated upon hearing this and looked at Pei Qian blankly.
"I'm looking for your sister..."
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have any sisters, only three younger brothers. If not, I would be quite willing..."
"What you are thinking is pretty good. There is a fire in the south of the city. It is very likely that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops are coming to attack at night. Hurry up and send orders to all the battalions and units to quickly form formations to defend against the enemy!"
After hearing this, Pei Qian hurriedly looked towards the south of the city, and saw that there was indeed a fire there. His face turned pale: "Aren't Cao Cao and the others guarding the sword pavilion? How did they come here?"
The potter snorted softly and said, "Now is not the time for self-examination. Hurry up and do what I say."
"promise!"
The sudden appearance of soldiers and horses from the Cao Army and the Sichuan Army shocked the Jinling Army. From top to bottom, from the most senior officer Tao Shang to the junior officers and soldiers below, no one expected that these troops should have been huddled in the pass, waiting to be beaten.
The allied forces of Cao and Liu actually took the initiative to attack Nanzheng outside the pass, and launched a decisive battle with the pottery merchants.
There was no need for Pei Qian to greet him. When the generals heard the fighting around Nanzheng, they got up one after another, commanded the soldiers of each department, and led everyone out of the city and stronghold to fight with the enemy.
There were not many garrison troops in Nanzheng City, and most of them were camped outside the city. At this time, the weather was sultry. In order to prevent the Jinling Army from organizing an effective counterattack in time, the Cao and Liu Allied Forces began to form large-scale formations around the city.
The stronghold was thrown randomly and ordered to be set on fire. In order to put out the fire, the Jinling army had to detach some generals and troops, and organized a temporary battle. It was bound to be unable to completely stop the Cao and Liu coalition forces, giving them many opportunities.
The generals of the Jinling Army are currently focusing on defense and fire-fighting. As for the sudden appearance of Cao and Liu's coalition forces, they deal with them cautiously but do not attack forcefully... To be honest, I can't tell the difference between them.
"Prime Minister, the generals of Cao's army and the Sichuan army have now surrendered to the generals of our army. At present, the generals led by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, etc. are fighting against
The enemy forces are fighting. The enemy's offensive is quite strong, and the Sichuan army is good at climbing. They are still climbing the city tower. I also ask the prime minister to temporarily withdraw from the city and wait for the general to defeat the enemy before returning safely..."
The potter shook his head and said: "No, my city, if you let me run away to Duoduo, how can I get around in the circle of princes in the future if word spreads?"
Pei Qian stamped his feet anxiously and said: "Our troops are only temporarily weak, so we are unable to resist. If we persist a little longer, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. By then, the prime minister will be able to return to Nanzheng calmly..."
Speaking of this, Pei Qian paused and said: "As for the matter of the princes' circle, there are only a few people in the world who can hang out in your circle. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is spread or not."
"..."
If you think about it calmly, what Pei Qian said does make some sense.
It is impossible for our own soldiers and generals to lose to Cao Liu. They just temporarily occupied some good opportunities. When the generals come to their senses later, they will definitely defeat Cao Liu.
But if the Sichuan army takes advantage of itself during this period, it will be more than worth the loss.
The potter took a deep breath, then looked around and said: "There are still two prisoners in the city, and they cannot be abandoned to each other at will. You summon the Tiger Guards and capture the prisoners first. As for one
We’ll talk about where to hide later.”
Pei Qian didn't understand it at first, but he realized it later... The prime minister was talking about Zhang Fei and Cao Zhang who were imprisoned in the city!
At that moment, the pottery merchant took Pei Qian and a group of Tiger Guards to escort Zhang Fei first.
