"Yuan Shao's health is not good?" Tao Shang thought to himself for a while: "Yes, the blow in the Guandu battle was too great. Most people who have suffered such a blow will already be depressed and will die from holding their breath.
Yes, Yuan Shao has only affected his health, which shows that he has a stronger will."
The Battle of Guandu was like an ordinary person who suddenly lost all the savings he had saved at home for decades. Once the war went back to before liberation, he could easily die if he got angry. This is not an exaggeration.
But judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao, who was beaten back to before liberation, is still quite strong. Not only does he refuse to admit defeat, he is also very likely to make a comeback.
If it were Huang Xu, he would have committed suicide by hanging himself.
"It seems it's time to march to Hebei." The pottery merchant thought for a moment, then turned to Guo Jiada.
Guo Jia also agreed: "Now that Liu Biao has been hit hard, and the forces around Jingzhou are ready to move, it is a great time for the Northern Expedition. There is no greater trouble in the world than Hebei. If this gives Yuan Shao a chance to breathe, once he gets over it in the future
If the power comes, the land of Xuzhou will have endless troubles."
The potter nodded in agreement and suddenly said: "There is just one thing at the moment that I don't know how to solve. I would like to ask my brother to give me an idea."
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "What other shameful things are you going to do?"
Tao Shang was so angry that he wished he could kick him away.
Who has done something shameful?
"Don't talk nonsense, it's still about my fight with Liu Biao this time!"
Guo Jia asked doubtfully: "Didn't you already win the battle? Liu Biao was cowed in Xiling City by you and did not dare to come out. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Tao Shang shook his head and said: "A win is a win... If it were me who was the governor of Danyang County, we would finish beating this son of a bitch and then go have a drink and fight the soldiers."
Withdraw, just think of it as coming over and giving him a bad breath, but it's no big deal, but now your and my positions are different. I am the prime minister of the new dynasty, and you are the guard, so we must act cautiously."
Guo Jia suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Behave...cautiously? You?"
The potter's face twitched.
"Okay, I admit that I can't do it, but the superficial work still has to be performed. This time I conquered Liu Biao. After I established the emperor, I took the emperor's order to conquer the rebellion of Liu Biao and put down the puppet dynasty. Although I have won the battle now,
But the puppet dynasty has not yet been destroyed, but it wants to withdraw its troops without any reason. We have to give an explanation to the people in the world. After all, it is the first battle after the establishment of the new dynasty. If there is no good reason, won't it lower the prestige of the new dynasty?"
Guo Jia looked at the pottery merchant in surprise, as if he had met this man for the first time.
"You can even think of this level? It's really amazing, amazing."
Tao Shang sighed and said: "As long as you are in your position, you have to plan your own affairs. This is also a helpless move. Do you have any good ideas?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Actually, this matter is simple. Now that you are the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, you can issue edicts on behalf of the emperor. You can issue edicts and announce them to the world. Just say that the new emperor of the puppet dynasty is the younger brother of the emperor. He was young and fell for a traitor.
After finishing the control, this happened. Thinking that Liu Qiong was of the blood of the Tian family and could not bear the fratricide of the Han Dynasty, he had the right to withdraw his troops and announced to the world that sending troops this time was a warning. Zhuo ordered Liu Biao and Liu Zhang to immediately capture the ambush.
After that, cancel the title of Emperor Liu Qiong and go to Nanchang City to plead guilty."
The pottery merchant understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words.
Although he knew that Liu Biao would definitely not do what he said, doing so would not only give him a step down, but also reflect his kindness and gentlemanly demeanor, which was killing two birds with one stone.
"As for Yuan Shao." Guo Jia continued: "The hatred between us and Yuan has become irreconcilable. We don't have to be afraid of offending him. We will issue an edict now to announce his crime of murdering the late emperor, even if there is no evidence.
, but the mouth grows on us, and we can conjure up ten or eight people who want to witness it, which will pave the way for the next preparations to attack Yuan Shao."
The pottery merchant nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's a very good idea, so I'll do it according to your method."
…
After many matters were settled, the pottery merchant and others immediately returned to Nanchang City.
Under the supervision of Tao Ying, the palace in Nanchang City has been initially built. The emperor and the queen mother live here. The emperor is young and the queen mother is in a trance due to poisoning, as if she doesn't know anyone.
Tao Shang felt pity for this poor mother and son from the bottom of his heart. He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to give the emperor and the queen mother the best environment, which was also the most comfortable condition he could provide in this era.
To a certain extent, Tao Shang has always felt guilty about Tao Hua, and he was moved and guilty from the bottom of his heart. If he had not dedicated her to Liu Xie, Tao Hua would not have suffered such a tragic experience.
After Fu finished... Tao Shang made up his mind that one day he would kill him and avenge his sister.
Little Liu Xi was already learning to speak. When she saw the pottery merchant, not only was the child not afraid of strangers, but she giggled and stretched out her chubby hands and hugged the pottery merchant.
"Hug, hug."
The palace maid hurriedly handed the emperor to the pottery merchant, who carefully took the nephew and held him in his arms.
Little Liu Xi entered the potter's arms and unconsciously pressed her face towards the potter's cheek.
Zhuge Liang stood behind the pottery merchant, looking at the closeness of the uncle and nephew, and couldn't help but feel very emotional.
After pondering for a while, Zhuge Liang was heard saying to Tao Shang: "Teacher, do you really want to leave the little emperor in Nanchang City?"
The potter turned to look at him: "The emperor is the emperor, what small words should I add?"
Zhuge Liang hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "Student knows his mistake... It's just that this child is young after all. He is left in Nanchang Palace without the teacher personally supervising him. If there is no teacher around for the child's growth, the palace will be a mixed bag.
Since there is no one to supervise the imperial court, no one can predict how the emperor will be groomed in the future."
Tao Shang said: "It doesn't matter, my second brother Tao Ying is here to monitor for me..."
When it came to this, the pottery merchant himself was no longer confident.
Is Tao Ying really worthy of being entrusted? Although Tao Ying did a good job in dealing with Baiyue's affairs, but can Tao Ying really do a good job in taking care of the emperor?
He doesn't even understand himself!
"Kong Ming, what do you mean?"
Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "Students know that Jinling City, Hangzhou City, Pengcheng and other places are the teacher's base. They are places where the teacher has worked hard for many years. It is understandable that the teacher does not want to locate the capital there, but although Nanchang City can be
It is a capital, but the emperor does not necessarily have to live here permanently. Political affairs can be handled here by Chen Lingjun, General Hussar and others, and the emperor can be raised by the teacher himself. It would be better this way."
The pottery merchant waved his hand and asked the maids around him to leave first.
Liu Xi was in the potter's arms, clinging to him hard.
The potter held the child in his arms, turned around, looked at Zhuge Liang intently, and suddenly said: "Kong Ming, tell me the truth. Are you afraid that I will be disobedient in the future if you persuade me to raise the emperor personally?"
Just like Dong Zhuo, who deposed my nephew?"
When Kong Ming heard this, his face turned pale and sweat poured down his forehead.
