Tao Shang was very disappointed with Sun Jian. He originally thought that Sun Jian had other thoughts and plans when he closed his eyes and meditated.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually dozed off while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were arguing! He passed away after a nap. However, his sleeping expression was particularly confusing, and someone who didn't know at first glance thought he was in deep sleep.
It seems that the nickname of the Tiger of the East should be changed...or maybe it could be called the Pig of the East, which is more appropriate and domineering.
Looking at Sun Jian's confused look, Tao Shang had no choice but to explain it clearly to General Sun.
"Master Sun, today in Alliance Leader Yuan's tent, the content of the dispute between Alliance Leader Yuan and General Cao is..."
"………………"
"………………"
"That's probably the case. Mr. Sun, look at it. Between the two of you, which side do you want to be on? Pursue Dong Zhuo, or just sit back and watch?" Tao Shang recounted what happened during the day to Sun Jian, and then
Questions were raised directly with Sun Jian.
Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Tao Shang and said, "Which side is Master Tao on this time?"
Tao Shang said seriously: "If I had chosen to sit on the sidelines and watch, I would not appear in front of Mr. Sun Fu now."
While weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Sun Jian said slowly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Tao has been in the same boat with Cao Mengde in recent days, advancing and retreating together... It is not surprising that you want to pursue Dong Zhuo with Cao Mengde.
…I just don’t know who else is willing to go with you two besides you two?”
The potter raised his left hand and told Sun Jian one by one: "There is still Pingyuan Commander Liu Bei..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Jian suddenly said: "He is a person! Although his official position is not high, he has two powerful generals under his command who can rival Lu Bu, plus the tiger idiot under Master Tao.
Xu Chu, with these three generals, I am afraid that no one in Dong Zhuo's army can fight against him! In other words, since the battle with Hua Xiong in Yangren City, Master Tao seems to have had a close relationship not only with Cao Cao, but also with Liu Gong.
To get close?"
Before the pottery merchant could reply to Sun Jian, someone beside him couldn't help it.
Next to Sun Jian, Sun Ce remained silent. Hearing this, he showed a rather unconvinced look and said: "Are those three generals so powerful? The children don't believe it. I will definitely ask them for advice if I have the chance!"
"Shut up!" Sun Jian turned around and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so young, how can you speak so arrogantly! Why don't you stand aside!"
Sun Ce's expression seemed unconvinced, but it could be seen that he was still quite afraid of his father, who was known as the fierce tiger. In desperation, he had no choice but to step back.
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows, and quickly gave Sun Jian and Sun Ce a look without leaving any trace. He secretly thought that these two men didn't know any manners at all, and they showed no pressure when interrupting others... What is the quality? Where is the quality?
"Master Sun, can I continue?" Potter asked calmly.
"Oh... ok, no problem, just say it!" Sun Jian turned around and seemed a little sorry for Shicai's negligence: "Besides Liu Bei, who else is there?"
"There is also Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin." Tao Shang said slowly: "Sun Fujun, if you are added to the army, this pursuit force will be enough to compete with Dong Zhuo's army."
Sun Jian frowned when he heard this and said: "Isn't that right? Dong Zhuo has the Xiliang Army, the Imperial Guards in the capital and the Wolf Cavalry Army in Bingzhou. Together they have close to 200,000 men and horses, and there are a lot of cavalry. Our five groups
The total number of soldiers and horses is only 50,000 or 60,000, how can we confront Dong Zhuo?"
The potter shook his head and said: "Master Sun, you just counted the number of people, but you didn't do the calculation properly. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and forcibly moved millions of people to Luoyang within a few days. Plus the luggage and luggage, his team
It almost stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and there must be resistance to Dong Zhuo's atrocities. Along the way, Dong Zhuo's troops must fully supervise the migrating people, and even massacre, beat, and urge, and his troops are greatly dispersed...
Under such a situation, if General Cao only pursues one group of soldiers and horses, he will be weak. But if our five groups of soldiers and horses concentrate their efforts to pursue and defeat each other, wouldn't it be like chopping melons and vegetables? Maybe we can still recover the emperor.
Achieve unparalleled achievements!"
Sun Jian had not expressed his position yet, but Sun Ce couldn't help but get excited as he listened, his two tiger eyes emitting a fiery light.
"Father! It's true that this battle is a great opportunity! I heard that Dong Zhuo's army has many fierce generals who are accustomed to fighting. You didn't allow me to fight many times before, but this time I have to give in no matter what I do.
I'll go with you to compete, or maybe you can meet that Xu Rong, and let me help you choose him..."
Looking at Sun Ce's eager expression, Tao Shang could feel that his body was filled with adolescent male hormones... Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!... He is a very energetic baby.
"Presumptuous!" Sun Jian roared and said angrily: "You are so young, what do you know about military matters? How dare you talk here, why don't you stand aside!"
Sun Ce couldn't help but feel annoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything and lowered his head dully. But Tao Shang could see that Sun Ce's eyes were still shining, and this kid didn't give up.
But now is not the time to care about Sun Ce...
The Tao Shang's face darkened, he looked at Sun Jian for a long time, and then he said, "Master Sun, you are just criticizing the mulberry tree and criticizing the mulberry tree, what about me?"
Sun Jian laughed and said: "How could it be? Master Tao has misunderstood!"
Tao Shang said slowly and authentically: "It doesn't matter whether I misunderstood or not. I just want to know Mr. Sun's attitude and whether he intends to send troops to rescue us together."
Sun Jian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It is still too risky to pursue Dong Zhuo at this time. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
Tao Shang sighed after hearing this, stared at Sun Jian and said: "Then I dare to ask Lord Sun, if you don't want to pursue Dong Zhuo, why do you still mobilize troops and train soldiers in the camp?"
Sun Jian laughed and said vaguely: "Of course Sun has his own ideas about this."
"Really?" Tao Shang said leisurely: "I can probably guess a thing or two about Sun Fujun's thoughts. He just led his troops to Luoyang to rob the princes. At this moment, Dong Zhuo had looted and burned them all.
Just the leftovers."
When Sun Jian heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
The pottery merchant stood up, cupped his hands towards Sun Jian, and said: "Sun Fujun ignored his revenge and went to fight with a group of wild dogs for bones. Don't be careful and lose your life in the fight. I'm still here.
I have to pursue Dong Zhuo and serve my country loyally, so I won’t stay with you here!”
After saying that, the pottery merchant turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.
