Some things, in their subconscious, seemed to have been forgotten for a long time. Until today when the pottery merchant mentioned them again, the two of them felt as if they had been stabbed hard in their hearts, which was very painful.
The scars of the past have been picked out again, and it would not be easy for anyone else.
I have to say, this potter guy is really a bastard.
Since he doesn't want to chat, everyone might as well put the matter on the table and get straight to the point.
After all, today's banquet is a real Hongmen Banquet.
In the direction of the main seat, Pu Hu still couldn't see the situation in front of him. He laughed as if he had no eyesight and said: "I didn't expect that these people are familiar with each other. This is really the best! Come on, let's have a drink together."
!”
After saying this, the scene was very awkward because no one looked at him or paid attention to him.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Tao Shang just stared at each other fiercely, each thinking in their own minds.
Murderous intent grew as the cups and glasses mingled, and the three seemingly incompatible people were plotting against each other while laughing and chatting. Behind the two bosses, Guan Yu and Xu Chu stood with their swords pressed, staring closely at the opposite side, guarding against the slightest danger.
When they appeared, their eyes glanced outside the commander's tent from time to time, trying their best to observe everything outside the camp to prevent anything bad from happening.
Outside the Dazhai, the hundreds of guards brought by the two sides were also on alert, quietly observing each other's movements.
The war seems to be about to break out.
The smiles on the faces of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Tao Shang gradually became stiff.
After all, the three of them were just giving fake smiles. No matter how deep they were in Hitachi Castle, they would still be tired after pretending for so long.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged glances quickly, and then Cao Cao laughed and said: "Brother Tao Xian, from the first time Cao and you met, Cao could tell that you are not a simple person.
A flying hero. Facts have proved that Cao's vision is indeed right. Nowadays, most of the princes in the world have lost their lives in the hands of the wise brother. The wise brother has conquered the world and made great achievements in nine states. It is really enviable.
"
Tao Shang nodded modestly and said: "Thank you for the praise from Brother Meng De. Tao will keep it in mind. I will continue to work hard and live up to my brother's expectations."
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "If brother Tao Xian can withdraw his troops and demarcate the border with us, and we can live in peace from now on, and everyone can coexist peacefully and share peace, if brother Tao can do this, Cao will be willing to be his vassal."
Liu Bei spoke up and said, "Bei is also willing."
Tao Shang narrowed his eyes. He knew that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were trying to show off their cards with him. Their intention was very clear. They asked Tao Shang to withdraw their troops and stop invading Xichuan.
The King of Southwest.
If it were anyone else, the potter might actually consider it.
But Cao Cao and Liu Bei...
Letting these two people stay in Xichuan to develop their power is like two tigers sleeping in front of the house. They may go crazy and bite you out of control at any time.
Who can feel at ease with these two wolves by their side?
The potter sighed deeply and said: "Brother Meng De, Duke Xuande, I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request. If you want to survive, unless you surrender and follow me back to Jinling, there is no need to discuss anything else.
"
The atmosphere in the camp, which had been quite cheerful just now, suddenly became solemn with these words, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Cao Cao's expression became very gloomy, and a cold atmosphere gradually filled the table, and even seemed to condense in the air.
Pu Hu seemed not to have expected that Tao Shang would say that. He wiped the sweat from his head and said awkwardly: "How do you say this? How do you say this!"
Cao Cao smiled coldly: "It seems that brother Tao Xian is unwilling to give me this face?"
The pottery merchant said calmly: "If it were me standing in Brother Meng De's position, would you give me face?"
Cao Cao thought carefully and said, "Yes!"
Potter: "..."
This old guy is so shameless in what he says.
"It just doesn't work anyway, do whatever you want, there is only one way for you two to survive, and that is to surrender!"
Guan Yu, who had been watching quietly, couldn't help but became furious when he heard this. He took a big step forward and said loudly: "Tao, don't bully others too much! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
The potter sneered and said, "I'm just standing here, what can you do to me?"
Liu Bei finally spoke: "In that case, Mr. Tao, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying that, he saw Liu Bei slam the wine cup in his hand to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the tent curtain was opened, and Zhang Fei, Pang De, Yan Xing, Chen Dao and others, dressed in ordinary soldier uniforms, rushed in one after another.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at the pottery merchant with sneers.
Pu Hu was completely frightened: "Mr. Cao, Mr. Liu, you, what are you doing?"
Tao Shangyin said: "You two are so shameless. You dress up a strong general as a soldier and take him with you, and even break a cup as a sign of honor. You are really unqualified! It's simply unseemly! You two are so inhuman.
"
Cao Cao laughed loudly: "If you want to do something extraordinary, you must do something extraordinary. I will throw a cup as a sign and take your life. Mr. Tao, let me see where you can run this time?"
Without saying a word, the pottery merchant turned around and kicked the table away.
Immediately, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, A Fei and others dressed as ordinary soldiers rushed in.
Pu Hu was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide and was so stunned that he didn't dare to move.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei blew their beards and stared angrily.
This bastard, just now you said that it was unbecoming of us to throw the wine cup, but it would be more honorable for you to lift the table?
"You're such a thief, you actually dressed up your powerful generals as ordinary soldiers to fool us. Are you simply a despicable villain?"
"You two have the nerve to accuse me, but don't you two have different attitudes towards personnel affairs? Aren't the generals under your command also dressed as ordinary sergeants?"
"We did this just to prevent you from playing this trick!"
"Fart, are people in ancient times as shameless as you two?"
Lu Bu took a step forward and pressed the sword on his waist. Zhang Fei on the other side saw Lu Bu's movement and shouted: "Slave with the third surname, what are you going to do?"
This voice immediately brought the tense atmosphere between the two sides to its peak.
But at this moment, there was a sudden loud commotion outside the camp, which aroused everyone in the tent to be surprised.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Tao Shang naturally thought that the other party was up to something new.
But it turns out that's not the case.
Soon, a Yi soldier ran in outside and shouted at Pu Hu: "Something is going wrong, Your Majesty. There's a fire outside! There's a fire!"
