Seeing that Zhao Yun killed two military commanders of the Bingzhou Army in an instant, Gao Gan sighed with emotion and asked his subordinates for their names.
He had a calm personality, and even the death of two generals under his command did not make people feel sad.
The deputy general looked at the flag in the distance for a while and said: "Master Fu, I will look at the flag at the end. It seems that the person coming is the sworn brother of the potter, Zhao Yun from Xuzhou."
"Zhao Yun?"
Hearing this, Gao Gan recalled carefully for a while, then slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "I've heard of it, I've heard of it! This man is a fierce general. It is said that he was evenly matched with Lu Bu. That's great.
have to!"
The Bingzhou generals on the left and right nodded in agreement.
After that, Gao Gan looked at the flags of Zhao Yun's army in the distance and found a large banner with the word "mi" written on it.
"Mi?" Gao Gan blinked and said, "Who is that? I have heard that there is a Mi family among the gentry in Xuzhou."
The subordinates who knew the inside story immediately said: "I heard that among Tao Shang's generals in Xuzhou, there was one named Mi Fang, who was a direct line of Tao Shang's generals. He had accompanied him to conquer Dong Zhuo. At that time, Xu Rong,
Xu Huang and others are not under his command."
"Oh?" Gao Gan was surprised when he heard this and frowned: "Back then, the pottery merchant was not in power, but he showed great success in the campaign against Dong Zhuo. I guess he had few capable men under him. Mi Fang can follow him till now.
, and being able to be on par with Zhao Yun, I think he must be a very capable person. This person must be guarded against, and all the lords must keep it in mind."
After listening to the senior cadre's precise and reasonable analysis, everyone present suddenly understood.
Everyone secretly remembered the two names "Zhao Yun Mi Fang" in their hearts.
These are all powerful generals under the command of the pottery merchant.
Lieutenant General Zhang Cheng asked Gao Gan again: "Master Fu, shall we continue the fight with Zhao Yun and Mi Fang?"
Gao Gan shook his head and said: "The two powerful generals Mi Fang and Zhao Yun were sent by the pottery merchant. It was made clear that they were here to test the truth. Our purpose is to hold the pottery merchant back here. There is no need to do anything with them.
Confrontation! Send the order, pay gold and withdraw the troops. No matter how they yell and curse, the officers and soldiers of the three armies should not leave the city easily. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
"promise!"
Zhao Yun had been shouting and cursing at the city for a long time in the past few days, but no senior officials were seen sending troops to fight, so he withdrew his troops and reported back to the pottery merchant.
When the pottery merchant heard that the senior officials were holding on tight, he began to plan his next move.
The military strength of the senior cadres is not weak, but they are not eager to win. It is obvious that Yuan Shao sent over a clever chess piece to delay him. It is like a hard meat bone that cannot be chewed or swallowed.
, I didn’t want to throw it away, I could only look at it helplessly.
Just when the pottery merchant was thinking carefully about how to remove the sharp thorn of Gao Gan, Cao Cao suddenly sent someone to send news.
Yuan Shao began to advance troops in a large scale!
After this period of accumulation, Yuan Shao's troops increased again. The so-called 400,000 soldiers and horses, led by a group of fierce generals from Hebei, attacked Baima, Yanjin, Yangxu, Boping, Yizun, Laiwu, and Linyi respectively.
, Jiaoyang and many other Yellow River ports.
The ports on the western front were blocked by Cao Cao's troops and generals, and several ports on the eastern front were missed, especially those near Xuzhou.
Cao Cao had no choice but to send someone to call the pottery merchant to defend him.
Only then did the pottery merchant understand Yuan Shao's sinister intentions. He used high-ranking officials to suppress his own forces here, and then secretly attacked the Yellow River ports and opened up various strongholds going south. This was his true purpose.
According to Yuan Shao's idea, with high officials on the ground, pottery merchants would not dare to act rashly.
But the potter decided to do the opposite.
In Kaiyang, Tao Shang ordered many powerful generals including Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Tai Shi Ci, Li Tong, Zang Ba, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, and even Tao Shang himself to lead troops to various ports to desperately stop Yuan's army.
No matter what, Yuan Shao's offensive must be blocked from the north bank of the Yellow River.
But there is one thing that is more difficult to do...
All the powerful generals from all walks of life were sent out to stop Yuan Shao. What should we do about Kaiyang City?
The capable generals under his command were basically divided up in strategic locations.
Finally, the pottery merchant once again selected one person among the remaining generals.
"Brother Mi, Yuan Shao is marching south. He has huge power and many troops. Cao Cao and I have joined forces, but our soldiers are also stretched thin. In this critical time, we have to rely on Brother Mi to come back to the world... Kaiyang
I’ll leave it to you.”
When Mi Fang heard this, her legs softened and she almost fell down in fear.
He nervously said to Tao Shang: "Kaiyang is an important town, and there are many high-ranking soldiers in Qi. If the Grand Tutor leaves, how can I stop him?"
Tao Shang patted Mi Fang on the shoulder and said: "Brother Mi, don't worry, Tao will not harm you. First of all, the senior cadres led their troops to the ground, but it was just a show. The intention was to delay me. I will put my personal
The Tiger Guards, the four Pei brothers, and my banner will all be left with you. You can try to make it look like I haven't left, so as to spread suspicion, the senior officials will not act rashly. As long as you delay
After a while, even if the senior officials find out, you can withdraw at any time and give up Kaiyang to him, which will not harm your life, how about that?"
Mi Fang said with a mournful face: "How long will this period of time last?"
The potter thought carefully and said, "Let's limit it to three months."
"Three months?" Mi Fang almost fainted when she heard this: "This is a hundred days!"
"Brother Mi is really loyal. Three months is only more than ninety days. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to flirt with me for ten days... Then count it as a hundred days. As the saying goes, there is no motivation without pressure. Kaiyangzhi
The land depends on you! This is also a good opportunity for you to grow quickly."
Mi Fang's eyes welled up with tears: "What if we can't hold on for a hundred days?"
The potter smiled slightly and said seriously: "Then you can go and die."
Mi Fang was speechless after hearing this and was speechless for a long time.
After being silent for a while, Fang Ting listened to Mi Fang's tentative inquiry: "Master, I am a little bit uneasy as I am alone. Can you send me a strong general to help me, so that he can help me solve my problems in times of crisis?"
The pottery merchant fell silent upon hearing this.
The powerful generals in Xuzhou and Jinling basically all have missions at the moment.
Not to mention that Mi Fang didn't have any strong generals around him, Tao Shang didn't have any strong generals around him now.
But since he made this request, he couldn't refuse it. After all, he still belonged to his brother-in-law, right?
After a while, the pottery merchant called his subordinates and asked him to call someone.
Not long after, Liu Pi was seen walking into the hall followed by his guards.
"Liu Pi, I appoint you as General of the Wilderness, as Mi Fang's deputy, and as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition in Kaiyang City. Do you dare to stay here and sit in command with General Mi?"
Liu Pi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then subconsciously replied: "Whatever the Taifu asks the general to do, then the general will do it!"
"Okay." The pottery merchant nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Mi Fang: "How is this person?"
Mi Fang's expression was somewhat hesitant and she whispered.
"Master, is he good? I don't think he is very good."
Although Mi Fang's voice was not loud, it seemed particularly clear in the quiet hall.
Liu Pi's face suddenly turned red.
"General Mi, please don't look down on others! I thought back then, I had a draw with Zhao Zilong!"
Mi Fang's mouth opened in surprise.
"Is this true?"
Liu Pi raised his head proudly and said: "If you don't believe me, General Mi, go ask the Taifu!"
Mi Fang looked at the pottery merchant in a consultative manner.
The potter sniffed, pondered for a while, and said, "Anyway... there is such a thing."
Mi Fang was overjoyed when he heard this. He had seen Zhao Yun's bravery with his own eyes when he went with him to test the senior officials some time ago.
If this person can tie with Zhao Yun, then he will have no worries in stationing in Kaiyang.
"General Liu, what I said just now has offended Mi. I hope General Liu will forgive me!"
Liu Pi laughed and said, "It's not a crime for those who don't know. It's easy to say, everything is easy to say!"
