Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Four Brothers Reunion
Langya Kingdom, Kaiyang City.
Gao Gan was brought into the hall with a gloomy look on his face. If he thought about it carefully, he actually fought quite hard in this battle.
Ever since Qidi was conquered, Gao Gan has been hiding in the city and has almost never come out.
He only sent out troops once during this period, and ran back in a hurry without even shooting an arrow.
It was a good time now. I finally mustered up the courage and had a final decisive battle. The result was that despite all calculations, I was tricked by others and finally captured the Tao Shang Army on the spot.
Those who were captured alive were not only Gao Gan himself, but also his younger brother Gao Rou, and his extremely trusted temporary staff Zhong Changtong, and the rest were seven or seventy-eight Bingzhou soldiers and generals.
The three leaders were escorted in by Mi Fang and Liu Pi with sullen expressions on their faces.
"The general has met the Taifu!" Mi Fang happily raised her hand to the potter and said boldly: "The general has lived up to the expectations of the Taifu. He has joined forces with General Liu to capture the high officials alive and hand them over to the Taifu.
.”
Tao Shang looked at Mi Fang and Liu Pi's unabashed pride, and it was very difficult to hold back his laughter.
These two guys...how to describe them? They are really my lucky generals.
When the second general appears, although it is a coincidence, everything can always be settled.
interesting.
The pottery merchant nodded appreciatively to Mi Fang and said: "Brother Mi has worked hard, General Liu has worked hard. In these hundred days, you have not only protected the city as impregnably as solid as Mount Tai, but now you have also accomplished such a feat as capturing the enemy's head alive.
It is beyond the reach of the ancient gods, and I am very relieved."
Mi Fang and Liu Pi were very proud after hearing this. They felt that the potter's eyes were different when he looked at them now, a bit like little stars.
It feels good to be valued by others!
Mi Fang chuckled and said, "I'm very complimentary of you, my master. Actually, this achievement has little to do with the two of us. The main thing is that my master ordered the troops and sent the generals to do a good job."
Liu Pi also nodded and said: "That's right, that's right! The Taifu's ability to recognize people is unmatched by anyone in the world."
The implication of this is that the potter made the right choice in using the two of them.
The potter blinked his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. If his willpower hadn't been strong enough, he might have been unable to hold back his laughter at this time.
He could hold it back, but others on the side couldn't, especially Xu Chu and Zhao Yun.
Others don't know Mi Fang's background, but Xu Chu knows best what's going on... This is a man who stole a pig but was almost beaten into a pig's head by himself.
As for Liu Pi, when he challenged Zhao Yun to Bai He and became famous, Zhao Yun was naturally aware of his methods.
Seeing the proud expressions on their faces and how awesome they were, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu couldn't help it anymore and laughed one after another.
Mi Fang and Liu Pi, two buddies whose emotional intelligence is not very high, saw the two laughing loudly, and they kept nodding along with their silly laughter.
While they were having fun, they also clasped their fists and saluted everyone, as if they thought Zhao Yun and Xu Chu were complimenting them.
The potter's face turned red because he was holding it hard to prevent himself from making a sound.
After a while, I saw him clearing his throat and turning to look at the senior official, only to see that the senior official was also looking at him.
Before the pottery merchant could speak, Gao Qian said directly: "Are you the Grand Tutor?"
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what he was doing when the senior official suddenly asked him what he was doing. He subconsciously replied: "Yes, I am the pottery merchant."
When he finished speaking, Gao Gan turned his head and angrily scolded Gao Rou and Zhong Changtong behind him: "Did you see it? Did you hear it? What did I say? I said that if the pottery merchant is in Langya country, we must
We have to be captured! What should we do then? Look, are you doing what I said now? You people are just stubborn, and you won’t listen to any good words! You are stupid! You are really capable.
I hate that person!"
After saying that, Gao Gan's eyes became hazy and his tone became choked.
"It's pitiful that Mr. Gao has been cautious and prudent all his life, but in the end he ended up in this situation... When we sent out troops, I was wondering if I would not be able to go back this time. It was indeed what I thought.
Everything has come true! Poor the two children in my family, they are only in their early ten years."
The potter was sweating on his forehead after hearing this.
How guilty-minded does one have to be to have such an idea?
As soon as I sent out troops, I felt that I might not be able to go back. This was really the first time I had met someone with such a fragile heart.
Is this paranoia or depression?
The pottery merchant was too embarrassed to say harsh words, so he comforted Gao Gan and said: "Brother Gao, don't be too discouraged. Knowing shame is almost courageous. There is still hope. If this happens again in the future, just be patient..."
Gao Gan sighed sadly: "Just fool me. How can Gao have a so-called future?"
Tao Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not like you won't be able to see your child. In fact, Tao didn't intend to kill you at the beginning. This was all your own imagination."
The senior official let out a long sigh, and while he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard the pottery merchant say this. He was stunned and raised his head in surprise.
"You...won't kill me?"
The potter smiled and nodded: "No killing."
Gao Gan was a little confused: "Why? I am the governor of Bingzhou, the general's favorite general, and Yuan Shao's nephew! You caught me and you didn't kill me?"
The potter laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "I didn't even kill Yuan Shao's son, how many nephews do you have?"
"Son?" Gao Gan had a look of doubt on his face.
After saying that, the pottery merchant turned to Pei Qian and said, "Invite Mr. Yuan over."
Pei Qian took the order and brought Yuan Tan over when he was young.
Yuan Tan was living a good life these days. Although he knew that there was a war outside, it had nothing to do with him. He had already been captured alive.
Why don't you listen to what's going on outside the window and focus on getting through the prison.
Seeing Pei Qian coming to see him, the first reaction in Yuan Tan's mind was that the pottery merchant was inviting him to dinner again.
"Brother Xian, didn't you just eat this some time ago? It's only been a few days, why are you eating it again? If you continue like this, I will have to force you to death..."
Yuan Tan was talking with a smile, when he suddenly saw the senior officials in the hall, he was stunned and stopped talking.
"Yuan, Yuancai?" Yuan Tan's eyes widened.
Gao Gan was also surprised and opened his mouth: "Xian Si?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly realized what the occasion was and understood what was going on.
So embarrassing.
Gao Gan blushed and said, "Xiansi, you were also captured alive by Tao...?"
Yuan Tan's face also turned red, and he turned around and said, "What does it mean to be captured alive? Zidu and I are old friends. We are just here as guests. Don't misunderstand me, Yuancai."
Gao Gan grinned when he heard this.
The heads of people your father beats will turn into dog heads, so you still come to his place as a guest?
You really don't have a big heart.
Tao Shang smiled and said: "Mr. Gaofu is the nephew of the general, and brother Xiansi is the eldest son of the general. So, you two are also brothers?"
Both of them laughed stupidly.
"Brothers meet over three cups of wine, brothers fall in love all over the world, brothers have a heart-to-heart talk, and brothers boast about everything. On this special day when brothers meet, why don't the three of us have a drink?" the pottery merchant said enthusiastically.
Yuan Tan laughed along with him: "It doesn't matter what you do, just tell me how to drink it!"
"Open up and drink!"
When he was young, the pottery merchant immediately ordered a banquet, and a group of Xuzhou generals accompanied him to drink with the Yuan brothers.
Frankly speaking, in this case, drinking this wine in Gao Gan's mouth is no different from horse urine.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tao Shang said: "Brother Yuancai is a relative of brother Xiansi. I don't want to hide some things from you. In fact, considering the trouble you have caused to Tao, I will catch you."
After that, I should have killed you to show off to the three armies... But before the war, Brother Xiansi came to me in person to plead for mercy, asking Tao to spare Brother Yuancai's life at any cost. Tao and Brother Xiansi were old friends, and he finally managed to
I couldn't bear to refute you once, so I captured you alive out of consideration for his kindness. Brother Gao still needs to know the key to this."
Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the pottery merchant in surprise. He was a little confused about what he meant, but he was not embarrassed to say anything.
The reaction of senior cadres was obviously different.
He looked at Yuan Tan gratefully, sighed, and said: "Xiansi, we don't have much friendship with each other on weekdays. I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, you would be willing to put down your pride and ask for help like this for Gao. Alas, with your character
He said, I'm really sorry for you... I don't have any problem with you as a brother, I will definitely repay this friendship to you in the future! I will never lose it."
Yuan Tan took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "Brother, why do you do this? I can't bear it."
