"General Yang?" The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows and asked the fox man tentatively.
"Mr. Tao." The fox man nodded, and his plain answer was regarded as acknowledging the potter's suspicion. Then he waved to the close men behind him, asking them to disperse and stand still to observe the surroundings.
Condition.
"General Yang seems to have arrived much later than the agreed time?" The pottery merchant looked up at the sky and smiled at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng sighed and said helplessly: "Master Tao, don't be surprised. The valley is heavily guarded. Guo Qushuai has strict orders on the entrance and exit of the valley. Feng Feng cleverly thought of many reasons, so he reluctantly asked Qushuai to show mercy and allow him to leave the valley. If he neglected, he would be punished.
I hope Mr. Tao will forgive me."
What a nonsense.
Tao Shang smiled and said unhurriedly: "General Yang really treats Tao as a brat. Although the Baibo Valley is heavily guarded, I know that you don't have to go through Guo Da to get out. In the past two months,
Since then, Tao's military camp has been accepting ordinary soldiers from Guigu who have surrendered. Although the number is not very large, it still proves that as long as you are willing to find a way, you will definitely be able to get out of Baibo Valley, and General Yang, as the second commander of Guigu,
When it comes to status as a master, it can’t be more difficult than for a pawn to leave the valley, right?”
When Yang Feng heard this, his expression turned slightly gloomy.
"In addition, although Tao is not clear about the organization of the Guigu army, he has also heard that the five leaders of the Baibo Army, headed by Guo Da, have their own soldiers and horses, but they are each responsible for the issue of whether there are more or less soldiers and horses. General Yang
Since he is the second master of Pocheng, the soldiers and horses in his hands will definitely be responsible for guarding several important roads in the valley. If he goes out on his own to show off, will General Yang go out of his way to report the truth to Guo Da?"
Yang Feng gave a cold "hum" and said without comment: "Master Tao, what do you mean by telling Feng these things?"
Tao Shang's smile did not recede because of Yang Feng's coldness, but became more enthusiastic: "General Yang, don't get me wrong, Tao doesn't mean anything else. He just admires General Yang's courage and scheming. If Tao didn't guess wrong,
If so, General Yang must have arrived here a long time ago, but he is not sure whether I am using a trick, so he has been secretly sending people to detect whether there are ambushes around, while you yourself are observing the changes in the hills from a distance until it is safe.
, General Yang just showed up... right?"
Yang Feng sniffed and was silent for a long time before saying: "Young Master is the leader of the Han army. In the eyes of the Han army, Feng Feng is the leader of the rebellious bandit. Be careful, don't you go too far?"
Tao shook his head and showed admiration: "Of course it's not too much. Moreover, General Yang's thoughtfulness and style of conduct make Tao admire him very much. The Xuzhou army lacks talents like the general."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. The pottery merchant praised Yang Feng so much that Yang Feng was naturally embarrassed to keep a dark face.
Yang Feng's expression softened, he cupped his hands and smiled, saying: "Master Tao's words made Feng extremely frightened... The letter written by Master Tao to Feng was sincere and sincere. Feng felt that Master Tao valued him highly and thought of him."
After much deliberation, I finally decided to take the risk and come here for a while.”
The potter raised his hands and applauded, saying: "Good birds choose trees to roost, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve. General Yang, with his talents, succumbs to the grass. In Tao's opinion, it is really a pity. The world is in chaos today, and the country is in a state of decline.
The emperor is in the dust, General Yang does not ask for loyalty to the emperor to serve the country and save the world, but instead stays in this corner of Baibo Valley and wastes his good years. Isn't he being too cruel to himself?"
Yang Feng straightened his back, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he looked back and forth at the pottery merchant with flickering eyes... This expression was all too familiar to the pottery merchant, and it was clearly a prelude to raising the price.
Black-hearted businessmen usually have this bearish look.
The pottery merchant was already disdainful.
It was just this small detail that made his originally pitiful impression of Yang Feng even less favorable. But there was no change on his face, and he still looked like he was smiling.
The skill of being invisible to emotions and anger has long been perfected by the pottery merchant. He continued to Yang Feng: "My father is currently the governor of Xuzhou. Whenever he talks about the affairs of the world, he always sheds tears and wants to divide the country.
I still feel that my strength is insufficient, so I recruit all the virtuous people from all over the world to help me. Since Shang is the son of Tao, how can he not share the worries of his father? Now I see that General Yang is an outstanding person among people. I would like to recommend him. Please come to Xuzhou and sit with me in Xuzhou.
General! I wonder if General Yang is interested?"
Yang Feng smiled and did not comment, but asked the pottery merchant about another matter.
"I dare to ask Mr. Tao, in addition to my brother Qu Shuai Guo Da, there are three brothers in Baibo Valley: Han Xian, fourth brother Li Le, and fifth brother Hu Cai. But why did Mr. Tao choose me? This fact really makes Feng Haosheng
Confuse."
Tao Shang pondered for a moment, and then he said tentatively: "If I say it's because General Yang is the most handsome and elegant among the five leaders of the Baibo Army... General Yang, can you accept this reason?"
Yang Feng was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it seriously for a while and then shook his head heavily.
"Although your words are true...but they are not enough to convince Yang."
The potter's smile suddenly became a little stiff.
You are such a shameless thief, and you don't show your foxy face by splashing urine.
"To be honest, it's actually because... Tao knew that General Yang had secretly contacted Li Jue of Xiliang last year."
After hearing what the potter said, Yang Feng was shocked.
In Yang Feng's opinion, the secret contact with Li Jue was an operation without anyone noticing. Not to mention the pottery merchant, even among Yang Feng's cronies, except for a few three or five people who knew about it, no one else knew about it.
Even the shadow cannot be caught.
This man surnamed Tao is the son of one of the princes in Guanzhong. In terms of status, he and Li Jue are in the opposite camp. How could he know that he was secretly flattering Li Jue?
What the hell is going on here?
"Master Tao, how do you deal with this matter..."
Tao Shang interrupted Yang Feng's words: "General Yang doesn't need to ask how Tao knew about this matter. I'm not afraid to tell you that among the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty, there will definitely be a solution for what Tao wants to know.
I know! If General Yang wants to know the details, he will naturally know everything when he enters Xuzhou in the future."
When facing someone like Yang Feng, the first thing to do is to show off your strength. No matter how much he bids for a bigger bargaining chip... you must let the other party know your ability and strength from the side, so that he will feel fear.
The pottery merchant first revealed the real reason why Yang Feng was late. It was not that he deliberately wanted to show off in front of Yang Feng. In fact, the pottery merchant himself did not like to show off. But if he wanted to take the initiative in the negotiation, he had to give Yang Feng a feeling.
No matter what small actions he made, the pottery merchant had the ability to uncover these things, which made Yang Feng feel a little in awe without even realizing it.
Now Tao Shang has revealed the secret affair between him and Li Jue last year, but he has not disclosed the channels for obtaining the information. This is to give Yang Feng an illusion and make him feel that this Mr. Tao is standing in front of him.
, is a mysterious and unpredictable figure, with immeasurable strength and influence behind him.
In this way, Yang Feng's ideas can be slowly guided in the direction the potter wants.
When it comes to deception and tricking people, who can be considered as the rival of Mr. Tao?
