Chapter three hundred and eighteen turning enemies into friends
After hearing Tai Shici's words, the pottery merchant was a little confused.
"What do I know?"
Taishi Ci said word for word: "The current governor of Yangzhou, Liu Yao, is from Mouping, Donglai, and a certain person is from Huang County, Donglai! We are from the same hometown and have known each other in the early years. The year before last, Governor Liu had to pay homage to the governor of Yangzhou, so he came from Huai
Before Pu started to take office, he wrote a letter to invite a certain colleague to come and help him. He had already packed his bags. He didn't want to hear any more news about Liu Jishui from now on. After asking around, he found out that Liu Jishong was actually detained by you.
Jinling City! In order to dominate Yangzhou, you actually did such a thing, what else would you call you but a traitor?"
When the pottery merchant heard this, he suddenly realized.
It turned out to be because of this trouble.
Yes, in the original history, Taishi Ci and Liu Yao were old friends to a certain extent.
He is here to complain to me on behalf of fellow villagers!
Everything in the world cannot be solved because we don’t know the cause. But once we know where the problem lies, no matter how big the problem is, we will definitely be able to solve it.
Immediately, the pottery merchant began to brainwash Taishi Ci.
"Ziyi, you have really misunderstood me about this! Who is Tao? The rich governor who governs Jinling City in Danyang County! The vanguard of the crusade against the treacherous Dong Zhuo! Xu Zijiang's ten golden comments
Mr. Taiping! You must have heard about my reputation in the southeast. If I really want to dominate Yangzhou, I can just send people to kill Liu Inspector. Why take him to Jinling City? The details of this, you
Not aware of it.”
When Taishi Ci saw that the pottery merchant was sincere, he felt a little suspicious.
After all, what happened about Liu Yao was something he heard from hearsay. There was no real evidence and it was just speculation.
Tao Shang sighed and said helplessly: "The seat of Yangzhou is in Shouchun City, and the previous governor Chen Wen was killed by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu wanted to dominate Yangzhou for a long time, so the imperial court appointed Liu Gong as the governor. On the surface,
It was a key promotion, but in fact it pushed him to be on the opposite side of Yuan Shu. If Tao hadn't taken him to Jinling City for protection, Governor Liu would have been killed by Yuan Shu's thief!"
When Taishi Ci heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Real or false? But how did I hear that you used the name of Liu Governor to cheat and deceive everywhere in Yangzhou?"
"Jealousy!" Tao Shang waved his hand heavily and said seriously: "Naked jealousy! Tao supports Liu Prefect and respects him very much. Now all the government orders in Yangzhou are signed by Liu Prefect and have nothing to do with Tao.
!Tao is willing to swear an oath to heaven!"
Taishi Ci looked at the pottery merchant doubtfully: "How to prove it?"
The potter slowly turned around and pointed at Guo Jia and Tao Ying not far behind him: "They can testify!"
Guo Jia and Tao Ying were just watching the fun at first, but they didn't expect that the potter would lead them into the water with just one word.
What kind of lord is this! He is not responsible for anything!
Guo Jia forced a smile and stepped forward and said: "Ziyi really misunderstood. For the safety of Liu Jishi, my Lord Tao even gave up his seat of Jinling City to Liu Jishi to live in, just because he was afraid that he would be a traitor.
What Yuan Shu did to him was due to his good intentions, which is truly a lesson for heaven and earth."
Tao Ying also nodded vigorously: "Yes! My eldest brother was very kind to Liu Prefect, raising him as fat and white as a pig... Oops!"
Before Tao Ying could finish his words, Guo Jia stepped on him secretly.
Taishi Ci glanced back and forth between the two of them doubtfully, as if he was trying to determine the truth or falsehood of their words.
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "My Mr. Tao Fu is broad-minded and is not afraid of others asking questions face to face. If Ziyi is still uneasy and waits for the matter to come to an end, he might as well go to Jinling City and ask Governor Liu in person.
Then you know what we said is true or false!"
When the pottery merchant heard what Guo Jia said, he couldn't help but admire him!
A genius is a genius, so he deceived Taishi Ci into going to Jinling City with just one sentence?
When Taishi Ci heard what Guo Jia said, and saw that the pottery merchant didn't feel guilty at all, he finally believed it.
"If you put it this way, has Ciguo really misunderstood Master Tao?"
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. It is true or false. Ziyi will come back to Jinling City with me. He will know the clues after seeing with his own eyes what Liu Governor is doing."
Taishi Ci sighed deeply, bowed his hands and apologized: "Your Majesty is so frank, so what he said must be true. Ci mistakenly believed the rumors, and was disrespectful to Lord Tao. Please forgive me!"
The potter smiled and said: "It's a small matter, easy to talk about. Let's find a way to conquer Shouguang County first and rescue Ziyi's mother. We can talk about other things later."
Taishi Ci was deeply moved when he heard that the pottery merchant was still thinking about his mother.
In this way, he even more blamed himself for his previous bad attitude towards the pottery merchants.
Such a frank and forthright person, who looks like a gentleman at first glance, how could he be the treacherous villain who held Liu Yao hostage?
I originally believed in rumors and treated pottery merchants poorly, which was really too arbitrary!
Taishi Ci gratefully bowed to the pottery merchant again and inquired: "May I ask the Lord how you can save my mother from the fire and water?"
Tao Shang smiled and said: "Besieging the city is not the best strategy. If you want to seize Shouguang County, you must use tactics. Guan Hainai is the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, but he alone can let a group of allies be surrendered by Xuande Gong."
And there is no way to do it, which proves that this person is brave and foolhardy, not a smart person, at least not very clever... It should not be difficult to lure him out of the city with a trick."
Taishi Ci hurriedly asked: "What can you do to induce Guan Hai?"
Tao Shang immediately said: "From the first time Zhang Rao attacked Zhuxu County, Tao knew that the reason why these Yellow Turban Canal Commanders repeatedly attacked the county seat of Beihai County was not because they had any personal grudges with Kong Beihai.
To put it bluntly, it is still due to lack of food. Except for Zhang Yan, all the Yellow Turbans in the world have no land and taxes. If they want to raise troops, they can only rely on robbery. Guan Hai, Zhang Rao, Qing Niujiao, Bai Jue and other commanders are so united this time.
Invading Beihai County shows that their food supply is too little, and I am afraid that they will soon be unable to open the pot."
When Taishi Ci heard this, he seemed to understand: "The prince wants to use food and grass to lure Guan Hai out of the city?"
Tao Shang gently snapped his fingers and said: "General Ziyi is really smart. He can tell clearly that among the Yellow Turbans, Tao has dealt with quite a few. Most of the so-called Yellow Turban thieves are
It means using troops but not cultivating land, and there is no tax and grain supply. Food shortages are a common occurrence, so when dealing with the Yellow Turbans, using grain and grass as bait can be said to be a tried and true method."
Taishi Ci pondered for a moment and said: "Ci is in charge of Kong Beihai. He has no specific title and is not considered Kong Beihai's confidant. He may not have the authority to use the grain carts of the Treasury."
Tao Shang comforted Taishi Ci and said: "Ziyi can rest assured about this matter. Although Tao came here to ask for help, he is still an honored guest to Kong Beihai. I will go to Kong Beihai in person later.
Explain the pros and cons, and Kong Beihai will definitely help."
Seeing that the pottery merchant was so generous and willing to help for his own affairs, Taishi Ci was deeply moved.
He clasped his fists heavily at the pottery merchant and said sternly: "If you can save my mother from Shouguang County, you will be a kind benefactor! From now on, if you are ordered, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
After hearing this, the pottery merchant felt very comforted.
He could tell that Tai Shici was the kind of person who had a clear sense of grudges and grudges, and had a cheerful and straightforward personality.
He likes people he likes with all his heart and soul, and hates people he hates with all his strength.
Obviously, I have gradually changed from a person that Taishi Ci hates to a person that he likes... m.
