The Bingzhou army was surrounded by three groups of troops and was defeated, losing many troops and generals. Fortunately, Lu Bu did not panic in the face of the battle and turned the tide. Not only did he command the three armies to rush back, but he also fooled and deceived them, and he led the remaining soldiers and generals to break through the encirclement.
As the saying goes, "Don't pursue the enemy when you are poor." Tao Shang would have suffered unnecessary losses for his army. He did not pursue the enemy too deeply. He just ordered the three armies to show off and pretended to pursue them.
After withdrawing his troops, Tao Shang did not ask Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xia Houyuan and others to go back immediately to resume their duties. Instead, he invited them to his tent and discussed with them their experiences of fighting against the Bingzhou Army. At the same time, he rewarded the three armies to express his gratitude.
.
Yuan Cao's generals did not refuse, and happily accepted the pottery merchant's condolences.
Because in the eyes of Yuan Shao's generals, the pottery merchants were Yuan Shao's vassals and one of their own.
In the eyes of General Cao Cao, the pottery merchant was Cao Cao's close friend and one of his own.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, gentlemen are generally very popular.
At the banquet, all the participating generals from several parties were present, but two people did not come, one was Dian Wei and the other Zhang He.
The pottery merchant was very surprised. The two of them seemed not to be seriously injured. Why didn't they even attend the dinner party?
He immediately asked everyone about the whereabouts of the two people, but the answers he got were very strange. These two people were greatly shocked and stimulated after the battle with the Bingzhou Army, and were unwilling to participate in the feast to reward the three armies.
Afraid of being embarrassed! So they locked themselves in a small dark room, facing the wall and thinking about it.
The dignified military commander turned out to be depressed.
It seems that the thoughts of the ancients were also very delicate.
Halfway through the reward, Tao Shang used the excuse of peeing to escape and asked Guo Jia, Xu Chu and others to temporarily accompany Yuan Cao's generals for him. He left the commander's tent and took the opportunity to see the two depressed young men.
elder brother.
The potter is a bit gossipy. What happened to them?
Arriving at the tent where Dian Wei was staying, the potter was surprised to find that the burly man who had fought with Xu Chu that day, picked his nose and spit, was squatting in a corner of the tent, secretly wiping his tears.
The potter rubbed his eyes in surprise, he really couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
A famously loyal and brave man in history, a tough general with a reputation for evil... is actually crying?
This scene really blinded me.
The pottery merchant couldn't hold it back and actually burst into laughter with a "puff" sound.
"Who? Who the hell is laughing at me!"
Dian Wei heard the sound, turned his head hurriedly, and stared at the tent entrance fiercely.
The potter hurriedly stopped his smile, looked around with a confused expression, and said in confusion: "Ah? Has Mr. Tao lost his way? Why did he end up here after peeing all day long?"
Dian Wei was very speechless when he heard this.
You can actually get lost in your own camp, you really have no one else.
"Dian Sima, why are you hiding here alone? Why don't you go to the Chinese army's tent and have a banquet with the three armies?"
Dian Wei stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on his face, shook his bear-like brain melon seeds, and said: "Going back to Tao Mansion, a certain family has nothing to do, they are just fighting with the Bingzhou Army. I feel a little tired, so I am taking a nap here."
After a while, it made Fujun laugh."
Xiao Nai... There are also those who squat against the wall and sleep?
Tao Shang walked up to Dian Wei, smiled and patted his strong shoulder, saying: "Although Tao is young, he also has some experience. Dian Sima is a brave general in the world, rare in the world. Others say I am tired."
Maybe you will believe it, but when Dian Sima said you were tired, Tao will definitely not believe it. Something must be wrong with you."
After hearing this, Dian Wei's eyes felt a little sore for some reason.
I finally met someone who can speak human words. It was so touching.
Tao Shang comforted him softly and said: "Dian Sima, Tao is your ally. If you are unhappy with anything... tell me? I will help you resolve it."
When the words fell, Dian Wei finally couldn't hold it in any longer, he let out a "wow" and burst into tears.
The pottery merchant was startled by Dianwei's cry and almost peed his pants.
This guy's crying was a bit too scary.
Why does it feel like being scratched by a cat?
The potter patted Dian Wei's back helplessly and comforted him softly.
After a while, I saw this delicate and considerate man stop sobbing and reluctantly came back to his senses.
Seeing that Dian Wei had calmed down a bit, Tao Shang said with concern: "Dian Sima, what happened? Who made you so angry? I'll help you find someone to kill him."
Dian Wei said to the merchant Tao with a resentful look on his face: "It's not Lu Bu's fellow... this man is so uncouth!"
The pottery merchant was a little confused when he heard this. He looked Dian Wei up and down, and a rather embarrassing thought came to his mind.
That bastard Lu Bu, didn’t he rape Dian Wei?
Facing the pottery merchant's puzzled eyes, Dian Wei explained the matter to the pottery merchant again in a naive voice. Before he could finish speaking, Dian Wei began to cry again.
Fortunately, the potter has roughly understood what happened.
He sighed deeply, patted Dian Wei's shoulder again, and comforted: "Dian Sima, you and General Xiahou were ordered to come to the aid of Tao, which is a kindness to our Xuzhou Army... Lu Bu, this bastard, actually dared to deceive Tao.
Someone’s savior... won’t agree to this!”
Dian Wei cried so hard that he looked at the pottery merchant with red eyes, sobbing and saying, "Then what else can you do?"
Tao Shang confidently slapped his chest and said firmly: "You wait until later, Tao will avenge you... I will let Lu Bu know what is truly unscrupulous!"
Dian Wei didn't believe it at all.
…
…
After comforting Dian Wei, the potter immediately went to Zhang He's tent to visit the adolescent warlord.
Men in adolescence are aggressive, sensitive, mentally immature, and not firm. After suffering setbacks, they are likely to get into trouble and fall into one mental cycle after another.
The pottery merchant couldn't bear to let Zhang He become like a bear, so he came to comfort him again.
Zhang He didn't cry, but he looked like a dead father, depressed and unhappy.
Tao Shang sat next to Zhang He in confusion and asked him: "General Junyi, why don't you go to the big tent to reward the army with me? Why are you hiding here by yourself?"
Zhang He's face was very sad. He was silent for a long time, and then he sighed quietly: "I don't have the face to see anyone anymore."
"You are too embarrassed to see people?" The pottery merchant couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "What are you talking about?"
Zhang He sighed and said slowly to the pottery merchant: "In today's battle, Lu Bu's fellow has given someone the greatest humiliation in his life..."
Lu Bu again?
The pottery merchant grinned and thought to himself that Lu Bu was really talented. He could not only kill people on the battlefield, but also kill people's hearts.
The pottery merchant inquired carefully and found out where Zhang He's heart was.
Zhang He was young and vigorous. When he was in Hebei, he was often compared by Yuan Shao to the leader of young heroes. In the future, he would be compared to Yan Liangwen in ugliness.
As time went by, Zhang He naturally became arrogant and arrogant, and his eyes were higher than his head.
But as the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
Today, Zhang He was knocked off his horse by Lu Bu with one move and almost lost his life. For him, this was truly the greatest shame and humiliation in his life.
In fact, according to Zhang He's ability, compared with Lu Bu, he is not so inferior.
Firstly, he and Zhang Liao had a fierce battle, wasting a lot of energy, and secondly, Lu Bu's sudden attack was too sudden, leaving Zhang He without any precautions.
The third reason is that Zhang He is still young, and has not yet reached great success in terms of his proficiency in martial arts, his character, or his experience in battle, so he suffered this defeat.
After Tao Shang knew the whole story, he immediately persuaded Zhang He and told Zhang He that his advantage was that he was young and that the days of showing off his ambitions were still to come, while Lu Bu was now at his peak. There was no comparison between the two for the time being.
.
Zhang He listened to the pottery merchant's persuasion and regained his composure a little.
But it was obvious that he was still a little addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
Seeing that Zhang He was still acting like this, Tao Shang had no choice but to resort to his last resort.
One sheep is driven, two sheep are herded.
"Isn't it Lu Bu? Tao will avenge you!"
Zhang He didn't seem to believe it either.
…
…
After comforting the thoughtful Dian Wei and the agitated Zhang He, the pottery merchant went to Huangfu Song's camp the next day to pay homage to Huangfu Song.
Since Huangfu Song joined the army, his health has really deteriorated day by day.
Although he could barely hold on to help the pottery merchant and counsel the military aircraft, the sight of him vomiting blood every time he coughed made the pottery merchant feel distressed.
His teacher, the last military god of the Han Dynasty, was burning with the little life he had left.
Seeing the pottery merchant coming to see him, Huangfu Song smiled weakly and said to him: "I know that after the confrontation with Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, you will definitely come to see me."
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang smiled softly and said, "Teacher, do you think I will be surprised by the bravery of the Bingzhou Army?"
Huangfu Song coughed and said weakly: "Aren't you frightened?"
Tao Shang looked quite depressed: "To be honest, my disciples had imagined the bravery of the Bingzhou Army, but they really didn't expect them to be so difficult to deal with, especially under the leadership of Lu Bu, they were even more difficult to defeat... Thinking about it this way, Dong Zhuo
The Liangzhou army must be more difficult to deal with, right?"
Huangfu Song nodded slowly: "In terms of numbers, it is more than the Bingzhou Army, and in terms of combat strength... at least it is not weaker than the Bingzhou Army. It is probably not the best idea to confront such a powerful army head-on. How does Yuan Shao plan to defend against the enemy?"
The pottery merchant thought for a while and said: "After Yan Liang and Wen Chou returned to Yuan Camp, Yuan Shao sent me a letter, saying that he wanted to mobilize the army from Jizhou. He wrote a letter to invite Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, and Zhang Yang, the governor of Hanoi.
Super people raised troops together to fight against Dong Zhuo. In addition, he also wrote a letter to Liu Biao, hoping that he would raise troops in Wancheng and attack Dong Zhuo from a flank."
Huangfu Song shook his head when he heard this and said: "Wang Yi, Zhang Yang and others are all ordinary talents, and they may not be able to do anything. Although Liu Biao is powerful, he may just want to sit back and watch the success or failure, which may not succeed. Yuan Shao invited them to make up the numbers... This
I'm afraid the method is inappropriate."
The potter suddenly laughed when he heard this.
He smiled happily, as if Huangfu Song's words had hit his mark.
Huangfusong's eyelids twitched, and he was a little overwhelmed by his way of laughing.
"You brat, why are you smiling so scary? Take it back! I look very insecure."
