In order to deal with the problem of Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu Commandery, the water thieves stationed in various counties of Wu Commandery came up with an extremely stupid way.
They pretended to go into the mountains and wander around, and then when they came out, they said that Qu Shuaizu Lang and his gang in the mountains had been pacified.
Zu Lang was leveled...
Was leveled...
draw……
Why do you say this method of taking credit is stupid?
Because just as the report of the damn water pirate captains was delivered to Sheng Xian's desk, Zu Lang appeared from the mountain in a swaggering manner.
The thieves of the Shangyue Sect would sometimes not show up for a year or so.
But this time, Zulang seemed to deliberately go against these water pirate leaders. A few days after they lied about their military exploits, Zulang led his Shanyue people to come out of the mountains and hijack the county government of Wujun.
, to supplement the food and baggage.
This is really worthy of memorizing it to the extreme!
It’s just that God wants to destroy them!
As soon as the news reached Sheng Xian, Sheriff Sheng almost laughed out loud.
There is no reason to be worried, isn't this coming to your doorstep, and everyone is stretching their necks to have their heads chopped off?
In fact, Sheng Xian was somewhat embarrassed beforehand.
If the order to conquer Shanyue Qushuai was not fulfilled, the water pirate leaders stationed in various counties were directly eliminated. It would be somewhat unjustifiable in terms of emotion and reason, especially since they had not lost the battle, but they could not find anyone.
That's all, after all, they were the pottery merchants who took advantage of Liu Yao's order to stay in Wu County. If they were treated like this, if word spread, they would only damage their own reputation.
But these water thieves leaders actually made the stupidest choice. They wrapped their handles alive in express bags and rushed them over 800 miles to Sheng Xian's hands.
Lying about military achievements is a grave crime that endangers the country. In all dynasties, even if three tribes were wiped out, no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks.
If we don’t say that all of them were thieves back then, they would really dare to do anything!
Knowing that Zu Lang actually came out to mess with their side at this juncture, the water pirate leaders almost wet their pants in fear.
The water bandit leaders originally wanted to give up their official positions and return to the river to become thieves.
But the problem is that after several trials, I discovered that the boys under my command were already resistant to their leader!
Chen Deng's several actions have alienated these water bandit leaders and their sons. Now that he wants them to follow the leaders to become river bandits again, basically no one will respond.
If we insist on persecution, we might end up mutiny, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Without any response from his subordinates, these water thieves are nothing.
If they escaped alone, the outcome would be obvious. A pavilion chief could capture them and hand them over to receive the reward.
The water thieves leaders were really panicking now.
If people don't do it, they won't die.
The road in front of them has now almost disappeared, leaving only the only way to try.
That is to ask the potter for help!
The pottery merchant had originally prepared to send troops to Wu County, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing.
Pig teammates, I really can’t lead them.
Can't you save me some trouble?
Tao Shang immediately gathered troops in Danyang County and ordered 10,000 troops. He ordered Xu Chu to be the vanguard, and Zhuo Chen Deng, Zhou Tai, Xu Rong, Tao Ji, Tao Ying and others accompanied the army and went to Wu County to replace them.
These water thieves are wiping their butts and taking care of the funeral affairs.
Although it was a more convenient choice to let them be killed by Sheng Xian, after all, they were all arranged by himself. For such a ridiculous reason to let Sheng Xian kill them, the pottery merchant would somewhat lose his face.
You can't let them embarrass you so much.
Redeem them first, and then kill them later.
Two days before preparing to send troops to Wu Commandery, Xu Chu, the forward vanguard, came to report to the pottery merchant on the arrangement of troops and horses.
When the pottery merchant saw Xu Chu, he was immediately a little stupid.
I saw Xu Chu's face was bruised and purple, and both cheeks were red and swollen. Overall, there was no good spot.
Among the generals under his command, the most brave and skilled general was actually beaten like this?
What's going on?
I remember that when he was duel with Dian Wei, he wasn't punished so badly.
Who the hell could actually cut Xu Chu into this state?
"Did you fight with Gan Ning?" Tao Shang asked Xu Chu in confusion.
Xu Chu's big face flushed with embarrassment, he shook his head vigorously and said: "No."
Not Gan Ning? Who could it be?
Could it be that there is a folk master hidden in Jinling City whose martial arts far exceeds that of Xu Chu!?
The potter blinked curiously and asked Xu Chu: "What's going on? Who is it that can beat you into such a virtuous state?"
"Oh~! Don't ask. The troops are ready. A certain family has come to ask for resignation. This is the first step!" Xu Chu seemed to be very reluctant to talk more about this topic and tried his best to change the subject.
Seeing that Xu Chu seemed to have something to hide, Tao Shang said, "Zhongkang, you are leading two thousand soldiers and horses to Wu Commandery. You will build roads in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and report the situation ahead at any time. Tao Shang
After three days of business, he led the remaining 8,000 soldiers and set off for the expedition."
Xu Chu took the order and went.
Three days later, Tao Shang also led eight thousand main troops in the direction of Wu Commandery.
This time the expedition was much less dangerous than the last time he went to the Central Plains to deal with Dong Zhuo, so the pottery merchant brought along his follower Tao Ying to go with him on the expedition, which also gave his younger brother a lot of experience.
Experience.
When Wang Yunyou went out to seek immortality, Chen Deng asked Tao Ying to go to Wanling to supervise the construction and expansion of the city. Therefore, Tao Ying did not have time to see off his cheap master, and he couldn't help but regret it after he came back.
The child secretly wiped away tears along the way.
The potter was very worried. No matter how miserable this brother was in the eyes of others, his heart was extremely kind.
"Second brother, I heard from Chen Yuanlong that you did a good job when you went to Wanling to supervise the construction and expansion of the city. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. In fact, as long as you work hard, second brother, you can still do it. Why didn't you do it before?
How about doing it properly?"
Tao Ying was still immersed in the grief of Master Cheap's departure. When he heard this, he sobbed and said, "Maybe it's because of laziness."
Potter: "..."
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with him, this kid is not hypocritical at all.
The child hit the nail on the head, and what he said was very pertinent. The potter was deeply comforted by his honesty.
"Brother, you are getting married in half a year, why did you choose to send troops to capture Wu Commandery and Xia Pi State at this time?" Tao Ying wiped away his tears and chatted casually with Tao Shang.
The pottery merchant smiled and explained to him: "Wu County, Xiapi State, and Guangling County are our southern barrier to Xuzhou, and they also belong to the depth of Xuzhou's rear. If we take the land of the three counties, whether it is in terms of population or the rear area,
Xuzhou is guaranteed in the future. The land of the three counties can provide Pengcheng and Danyang County with a steady stream of population and taxes. As long as the land of the three counties is captured and managed well, within two years, Xuzhou's overall strength and
The economy can at least double."
Tao Ying pouted and said: "But the problem is that going to war is not a small matter. You will get married in half a year. If it is postponed for a long time and misses the wedding date, it will be difficult for us to deal with Senior Sister."
"Senior sister?" Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this: "Who is your senior sister?"
Tao Ying's eyes suddenly widened, obviously he couldn't believe that Tao Shang had asked such an incompetent question.
"Who else could it be? My master's daughter, your future wife... Prince Tao, Diao Shi!"
The muscles on the potter's face twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
This kid is really good at finding relatives. He has a master and a sister by the way...
Thanks to him for taking great pains to give his senior sister a prestigious name... and return it to Prince Tao's Diao clan.
Japanese?
"Speaking of it." Tao Shang seemed to suddenly think of something, and then asked Tao Ying: "Second brother, you also had a crowning ceremony last year. Logically speaking, you have reached the age of getting married. How about it? Do you have a girl you like in your heart now?
?If you have any questions, tell me and I will help you kidnap someone!"
Tao Ying's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he took a breath of cold air.
"Uh... I mean, brother, I'll help you find a matchmaker." The pottery merchant hurriedly changed his tune.
What a risk. I accidentally exposed my true nature in front of my younger brother just now.
Tao Ying thought seriously for a while, then suddenly sighed, shook his head and said: "To be honest, brother, since I was a child, I have never met a woman who can make my brother fall in love with me. You don't have to go out of your way to help me."
Thank you for your trouble."
The pottery merchant was happy to hear this.
Isn't this child's vision too high?
He is not very capable, but his vision is not small.
"You don't like beautiful women like your senior sister or the girls from the Mi family either."
Tao Ying raised his head arrogantly: "Brother, you are looking down on me! Brother, am I a person who covets beauty? What I want is that kind of...that kind...how can I describe it to you."
The potter raised his eyebrows: "Asking what love is in this world, it's like making a promise between life and death. Traveling from north to south, how many times does Lao Chi go through the cold and heat... Is this what you mean?"
When Tao Ying heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother, you are so talented! You really spoke to my brother's heart! ...This is what it feels like!"
The pottery merchant sighed helplessly and secretly said that we don't know who is talented.
It’s hard to see that this kid, who is usually careless, is actually a literary young man who pursues love between life and death.
I don’t know what kind of person this little bastard will find in the future...
