Chapter seven hundred and eighty first two traitors
The soldiers under the potter were very happy and also felt inspired by the potter's words.
But one family was happy and the other was sad. The generals of Jinling Army were all excited. On the other hand, the situation of the soldiers of Yuan Army was not very good.
Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu and others died in the battle.
Ma Yan, Zhang Wei, Qianzhao and others were captured alive.
When several generals were brought before the pottery merchant, Jiang Qi, Ma Yan and Zhang Wei immediately expressed their willingness to surrender to the pottery merchant.
Hebei was now equal to pacification, and the pottery merchants did not need to kill as much as Yuan Tan did, so they accepted the surrender of these surrendered generals and asked them to represent themselves in issuing notices to the generals stationed in the surrounding counties of Jizhou, asking them to surrender quickly.
.
Only Qianzhao kept his head down and remained silent.
Tao Shang got off his horse and walked up to Qianzhao. He looked at him up and down and said, "General Qianzhao seems to have no intention of surrendering?"
Qianzhao was indifferent for a long time, and then he said: "I have served the general for many years, and I cannot bear to betray him."
Tao Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "But the problem is that your general is dead. Not only you, I also respect him... Among my many opponents, Yuan Shao is undoubtedly the strongest at the moment.
If he were ten years younger, Tao might still be unable to fight him. But now the big deal has been decided. If you are truly loyal, you should leave a useful body and help me manage the territory of Hebei. You are worthy of Yuan.
General, what's the point of just seeking death?"
After Qianzhao heard the pottery merchant's words, he was somewhat touched in his heart. He thought that the pottery merchant would kill him directly and make it all over, but he didn't expect that the pottery merchant would actually say these words to him.
This point is quite unexpected.
But Qianzhao is, after all, the most skilled among Yuan Shao's generals. People with high abilities naturally have high spirits.
Just a few words and a confused surrender to Yuan Shao. Qianzhao was somewhat unable to accept this fact.
The pottery merchant did not force him. He told Pei Qian: "Let's take General Qian down to rest first and settle him well. I will brainwash him in the future...to wash away his worries."
Pei Qian immediately accepted the order and guided Qianzhao down. Zhuge Liang looked at Qianzhao's back and said: "Teacher, I think this person still intends to surrender. If the teacher shows his sincerity again, it can be done, but why not?"
Are you going to continue to convince him?"
Tao Shang smiled and said: "There are still many things to deal with. We can't waste time on him alone. I'll go back and ask Zhang He to persuade him. I think it can be solved."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and echoed: "There are so many talented people in Hebei. If Master wants to completely control Jizhou as the center, he still needs to win more people's hearts."
The potter nodded in agreement.
At this moment, I saw Zhao Yun escorting several people in the direction of the pottery merchant.
Zhao Yun and Sima Yi cooperated with Liu He and others to defeat the Gongsun clan in Liaodong. They showed off their power in the first battle, which was a great achievement. They then traveled non-stop across You, Qing, Hebei and other places to go to Yecheng to aid Yuan Tan.
After being entrusted by Sima Yi, he led his troops to meet with the pottery merchant.
It can be said that he has gone through many twists and turns and suffered a lot.
Tao Shang felt sorry for his second brother, so he did not let him go into battle in this battle, but let him rest in the rear.
However, just now some soldiers came to report that when the pottery merchants finally launched a large-scale attack on the stronghold, Zhao Yun was not idle after all. He led his troops to rush forward from the rear, followed the command of the frontline generals, and assisted in the attack on the stronghold.
The potter couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
My second brother is really a hard worker. I specially arranged for him to take a break and he will not work. If there is a battle, he will always rush to the first place.
This is really admirable.
However, Zhao Yun went out this time. Although there was no general to capture the flag, he still made a lot of achievements.
Two important counselors under Yuan Shao who wanted to escape were kidnapped by him.
Pang Ji and Guo Tu!
"Prime Minister! We meet again!" Pang Ji was trembling at first, but when he saw the pottery merchant, his face flushed with excitement, and his tone of voice became obviously higher, making him look very excited.
The potter raised his eyebrows, looked Pang Ji up and down and said, "Who is your Excellency?"
Pang Ji nodded and bowed: "I am Pang Ji, have you forgotten? In the battle of Guandu, you captured me alive."
The potter slapped his forehead: "I remembered, it turned out to be Mr. Yuan Tu... Haha, we really haven't seen each other for a long time."
Pang Ji chuckled and said: "That's right, that's right. I haven't seen the Prime Minister for more than two years. The Prime Minister is really becoming more wise, powerful and handsome."
These two words are completely incompatible, but to the ears of a potter, they still feel very comfortable.
He patted Pang Ji on the shoulder with satisfaction and turned to look at the other person: "Who are you?"
Before the pottery merchant finished speaking, Guo Tu came forward with a flattering smile, nodded and bowed to the pottery merchant: "Guo Tu, I am from Yingchuan, and you are from the same clan as Guo Jia Nai from Jinling!"
Pang Ji looked at Guo Tu sideways and thought to himself, "You are shameless!"
The potter suddenly smiled and said: "So he is a relative of Guo Fengxiao?"
"Yes, yes!" Guo Tu nodded vigorously and said: "My relationship with Guo Fengxiao is nothing to say. I heard that he is the most powerful planner under your command, right? Hi! Guo also recommended him back then.
The general...is serving under Yuan Shao!"
Speaking of this, Guo Tu slapped his tongue. He felt that it was not appropriate to say this in front of the pottery merchant, so he quickly changed his words and said: "But after meeting Yuan Shao, I still urged Feng Xiao to leave. After all, although Yuan Shao
He has great power, but he is not an enlightened master. He is a man of filial piety and talent, how can he cast a pearl in the dark?"
The pottery merchant couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Then where did you advise Guo Jia to go?"
Guo Tu said with a smile: "Of course it's your place! I told Guo Jia at that time that Mr. Taiping, Tao Shang, is an unparalleled hero. He is young and will definitely achieve great success in the future! If you go to Xuzhou to find him as a filial piety, you will definitely
have a future."
Tao Shang smiled and nodded, while Zhuge Liang looked stunned.
Is there such a shameless person in the world? I really learned a lot today.
Pang Ji said loudly at the side: "This is ridiculous! You said that Yuan Shao is not the British master, so why are you still working under Yuan Shao? Why don't you follow your relative Guo Jia to work under the Prime Minister?"
Guo Tu turned his head and glared at Pang Ji fiercely, and said angrily: "Why are you everywhere?"
Pang Ji raised his head and hummed: "I'm just curious, can't I ask?"
Guo Tu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and continued to smile flatteringly at the pottery merchant: "So, Guo Fengxiao followed my guidance and joined the Prime Minister's staff. Unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be promising and followed the Prime Minister.
I have achieved some success, and all my hard work was in vain."
