Tao Shang just saw that the fires in the villages outside were relatively large, and heard that the school affairs office reported the opponent's general lineup. In desperation, he dispatched all the heroic generals in Qufu City. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was more or less the case.
Got the other person’s way.
The pottery merchant turned to look at Tian Feng and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Tian has been silent and unyielding since he followed me back to Xuzhou. How did he change his temper today?"
Tian Feng couldn't help but get angry when he heard this: "You have hurt me so badly, and you still expect me to flatter you?"
Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant smiled and said, "Then isn't what you did today an act of flattery?"
"You..." Tian Feng angrily shook his finger and pointed at his nose, and said: "You, you are so angry with me... Although I am annoyed with you, after all, I had a gentleman's agreement with you. Since you promise
If you have a trace of Yuan's blood, I will naturally have to keep my promise and help you, but you have to give me some time to think!"
Seeing Tian Feng looking extremely angry, he saw the potter bowing to him: "Thank you sir for your help today, for helping me get out of this difficulty. I will definitely repay you handsomely later."
Seeing that the pottery merchant's attitude was suddenly so humble, Tian Feng immediately said: "Prime Minister Tao, this doesn't seem to be the attitude you should have, right? You don't seem to be someone who would easily do such humble things?"
Tao Shang smiled and said: "This also depends on the matter. What attitude should be taken towards a benefactor like Mr., of course. Mr. is a respectable person. As a junior, it is also reasonable for me to salute you.
As it should be."
Tian Feng was stunned immediately.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
However, Lu Su came to Tao Shang and said: "Thanks to Mr. Yuan Hao's reminder, I was able to see the true intention of the other coalition forces. I would like to ask you to lead an army to reinforce Qi Gu."
Tao Shang shook his head and said: "You guys sit in the city and guard our formation for me. Judging from the current situation, the other side should not launch a large-scale attack... As for the Qi Valley side, I will go there myself."
Lu Su was hesitant when he heard this: "It's okay for the Prime Minister to go to rescue Qi Gu, but now most of the powerful generals in our army have been sent to support other camps. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the remaining generals to take on this important task.
…”
Tao Shang also felt a little regretful. He just saw fires in various camps and heard the school affairs office tell the opponent's lineup, so he sent out all the capable generals. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision. After all, those former
The famous generals who came to attack the stronghold were essentially just trying to attract their own attention.
"If there is no general, then just send a few captains and ordinary generals." Tao Shang thought carefully for a while, and then ordered: "I think it shouldn't delay the important matter. After all, Tao is experienced in hundreds of battles.
Even if there are no strong generals around, it will be fine, and besides, there are Zhao Yun and Li Tong over there to support us... no problem!"
Zhuge Liang said hurriedly: "It is said that a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the teacher is going to fight in person. How can he not be surrounded by strong generals to protect him? This is absolutely impossible."
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Disciple is willing to go on behalf of the teacher."
The pottery merchant raised his hand, interrupted the two of them, and said: "The sneak attack on the granary is of great importance. There are many wise men in the opposing coalition forces. I think this matter will be entrusted to someone who is both wise and brave, and the grain is related to our army.
I’m not worried about my lifeline.”
The potter insisted on going, but Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi refused to let him go. Just as several people were arguing back and forth, they saw a fat man striding towards them.
It's none other than Lu Bu!
Lu Bu didn't go into battle, not because he didn't want to help, but because Tao Shang's weight loss plan had tortured him a lot these days.
He ate vegetables and radishes every day and had to run with heavy weights under the supervision of the potter. Lu Bu felt that he was about to disappear.
In the middle of the process, he wanted to give up several times, but when he thought about being played by Ma Chao like a dog, while Zhao Yun and Ma Chao fought back and forth, and finally suppressed Ma Chao, Lu Bu felt this in his heart.
It's hard to get rid of the bad breath.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
One day, I will let you see the true form of this general!
But under such intense weight loss training, Lu Bu had almost no energy to worry about the pottery merchant.
"Son-in-law, I heard what you said..." Although Lu Bu is still chubby, the flesh on his cheeks has obviously disappeared, and his cheekbones have also gained some curvature, but it is obvious that he is still very haggard.
After all, this way of losing weight not only allowed him to lose fat, but also lost a lot of muscle. Unfortunately, given the current conditions in the military... there is really no beef or chicken breast or high-protein substances to supply him with muscle gain.
.
The pottery merchant looked at Lu Bu's haggard look and felt a little unbearable: "Father-in-law, why are you here?"
Lu Bu's face also looked sallow under the light of the torch in the dark night.
"Son-in-law, since there is a shortage of strong generals in the city, why not let me accompany you?"
The pottery merchant couldn't help but shook his head when he looked at Lu Bu's disheveled face and his fat figure that was crumbling and almost unsteady.
"Father-in-law...forget it, you'd better live a good life."
Lu Bu had a sad expression on his face.
He also knew that if he was like this, it would be good if he didn't drag the potter back, so there was no need to talk about protection.
It's true that the coward licks his flesh and blood, and the old wolf eats his shit to his fullest.
He was silent for a long time, and seemed to suddenly think of something again.
"Wonderful son-in-law, even if I am currently useless, there are still two people, but you have forgotten them!"
"There are two more people?" The potter blinked in confusion: "Who are they?"
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!" Lu Bu said with a weak smile: "They were the two most capable generals under my command."
The potter suddenly slapped his forehead.
yes!
These two people had just surrendered to Lu Bu, but he had forgotten them.
Sima Yi whispered: "Teacher, please think about this again."
Tao Shang understood Sima Yi's unfinished words. After all, they were all generals who had just accompanied Lu Bu. Whether they had second thoughts and whether they would be of great use was still uncertain.
But the potter obviously didn't care about that: "Where are the two of them now?"
Lu Bu said: "One is responsible for assisting the military governor to control the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the other is responsible for assisting the military governor to control the trapped camp."
Lu Bu's army had just surrendered, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command had been dispersed and reorganized into various battalions. However, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the trapped camp were two independent special forces, and their tactics were unique and should not be split. Therefore,
The pottery merchant arranged for two warlords to serve as temporary supervisors, but they have not yet been officially used.
But tonight seems to be a special situation, and an exception can be made.
"Find these two over here."
Pei Qian immediately took the order and left. When he was young, he brought Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant looked back and forth between the two men, and then suddenly bowed his head: "It is an urgent matter tonight. The pottery merchant is here. I would like to ask the two generals to help me and send troops together with me!"
