Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both looked a little flustered when they saw the potter treating them like this.
These two men have followed Lu Bu for a long time. Although in terms of ability, they are among the best among the generals under Lu Bu's command, due to Lu Bu's personal reasons, the most important ones in the Bingzhou Army are Song Xian or Song Xian.
It was his brother-in-law, Wei Xuxu, who did not pay much attention to these two truly strong generals.
On the contrary, the degree of utilization is actually higher.
Of course, Tao Shang's attitude toward the two of them today was, in actuality, highly exploitative, but his behavior as a polite corporal made the two of them feel very comfortable.
So what if it's just use? Prime Minister Tao has done enough to save his face! He is willing to use it.
To a certain extent, neither Zhang Liao nor Gao Shun are utilitarian people. People who are not utilitarian generally only value one other thing.
That's how much it's taken seriously.
It is obvious that the pottery merchants now paid enough attention to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Gao Shun first saluted the pottery merchant and said: "We, along with Marquis Wen, surrender to the Prime Minister. From now on, we are the generals under the Prime Minister's command. It is natural for the Prime Minister to use us. There is no need for this. Just give the order."
"
When Gao Shun said this, his tone was neither salty nor cool, cold and cold, making people unable to hear the emotions.
This is a problem with his own personality. Although his words may sound perfunctory, people who know him well know his personality.
The fact that Gao Shun could say such a thing was enough to show that he fully accepted the pottery merchant.
Zhang Liao was even more direct. He said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be like this. Since the two of us are of use, it is our duty to do so. We will go and order the troops and we will set off immediately."
The pottery merchant nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you, two generals."
The two immediately took the order and left.
Seeing Zhang Liao and Gao Shun being so obedient by the pottery merchant with just one word, Lu Bu smacked his lips in a bitter tone and sighed: "Alas, times have changed, and the new man is better than the old man."
The potter turned to look at Lu Bu and said, "The term father-in-law is not appropriate. What is the new man better than the old man? It is used to describe things between men and women."
Lu Bu muttered: "It's almost done anyway...these two white-eyed wolves."
Tao Shang raised his eyebrows and turned to Zhuge Liang: "My father-in-law's weight loss has been somewhat stagnant these days. Instruct the cook to reduce his ration tomorrow to prevent him from losing control of his mouth."
When Lu Bu heard that Tao Shanggong was avenging his personal revenge, his face suddenly turned pale.
"A good son-in-law, don't treat me like this!"
But Tao Shang didn't seem to hear Lu Bu's words. He called Pei Qian and asked him to organize the Tiger Guards and accompany him to prepare for the expedition.
As for Lu Bu, he was left alone by the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant is quite good at taking care of his father-in-law...Wang Yun is a lesson learned from the past.
Looking at the potter's leaving figure, Lu Bu's face showed a trace of sadness.
"This son-in-law is really cheating on his father-in-law." Lu Bu said to himself helplessly.
Zhuge Liang walked up to Lu Bu, shook his feather fan, and said: "Marquis Wen, don't blame me for being too talkative. What you said just now is really not pleasant to hear. No wonder the teacher is angry with you... Although we are both the same.
We have a son-in-law relationship, but you still have to be more sincere to the teacher."
Lu Bu couldn't bear it any longer. He strode up to Zhuge Liang, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhuge Liang's front, and said angrily: "What you said is easy. I won't give you food. You give me a sincere apology."
Look!"
…
Tao Shang led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, as well as Bingzhou Langqi, Tiger Guards, Zhen camp and other elite troops, and headed straight for Qi Valley.
As for Qi Gu, there was indeed a violent fight happening right now.
Needless to say, the person who attacked Qi Gu's grain and grass was none other than Liu Bei, who gathered all the elite soldiers and horses from Jingzhou to attack Qi Gu.
Although there were follow-up troops from Li Tong and Zhao Yun guarding Qi Valley, Liu Bei had already made preparations for this matter.
From this battle, we can know that Liu Bei's thoughts are extremely meticulous.
In order to fight against the pottery merchants, after he pacified Jingnan last year, he advised Liu Biao to secretly start mass production of pottery armies in Jingzhou for future use.
In today's sneak attack, these imitations of the Potter's Army's clothes and armor were of use.
Liu Bei and the Jingzhou elites he led dressed up as Tao reinforcements and marched towards the location passed by Cao Cao's Eagle Snake Warriors.
And the banner he carried was the banner of the former Jingzhou general Huang Zhong.
Liu Bei was very thoughtful. Before tonight's battle, he found Wei Yan, who had cooperated with Huang Zhong, and learned all about Huang Zhong's marching formations and troop usage habits in detail, and used his marching methods here.
For this sneak attack, try to make your own soldiers and horses look the same as Huang Zhong.
With such careful preparations, Li Tong and Zhao Yun, who had just arrived, were caught off guard and fell into his trap.
After Liu Bei's army approached Qi Gu's granary, they immediately launched an attack.
When Zhao Yun and Li Tong saw this, they knew they had been tricked.
They immediately organized troops and horses to start a counterattack, and held on to the spot, launching an offensive and defensive battle with Liu Bei.
This time, Liu Bei entangled many elites under Liu Biao's command, and seconded two generals, Wei Yan and Wenpin, plus generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, etc., in order to complete his efforts in one battle and completely burn the pottery merchants' supplies.
Liu Bei and his team of elite troops rushed into the granary. Without saying a word, they first set fire to it with great fanfare, setting the entire camp on fire.
He seemed to have made up his mind to use the strong wind tonight to completely turn the pottery merchant's grain and grass in Qi Valley into ashes.
However, although Liu Bei's calculations were clever, facing powerful generals like Zhao Yun and Li Tong, his plan was not satisfactory.
After Zhao Yun discovered something was wrong, he immediately organized the Jinling White Horse Army and launched an effective counterattack against the Jingzhou Army.
The Jinling White Horse Army was extremely powerful. With their superb skills and brave and courageous style, they quickly broke through the front line of the Jingzhou Army and rushed towards Liu Bei's location.
But just after the Jinling White Horse Army broke through the front line of the Jingzhou Army, and after the shield soldiers of the Chinese Army moved out of the way, a group of crossbow troops appeared in the rear of Liu Bei's Army.
These people aimed their powerful crossbows at the Jinling White Horse Army, and then heard the continuous sounds of "Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!" The front row of the Jinling White Horse Army was swept away!
"Jinling Repeating Crossbow?" Zhao Yun, who was not far away, was shocked.
Looking at the opponent's repeating crossbow, although it does not fire ten consecutive shots, it actually fires several consecutive crossbows. It is indeed a repeating crossbow!
But the Jinling Repeating Crossbow is a magical weapon developed exclusively by Potter and Zhuge Liang. It is the most top-secret weapon in the Jinling Army. How come it is also available in the Jingzhou Army now?
"Zhao Zilong, take a spear from me!"
A sound like a huge thunder exploded in my ears, and it was heard endlessly.
Zhao Yun turned his head hurriedly, only to see a huge snake spear coming from the diagonal stab.
The snake spear was originally a weapon for stabbing, hooking, picking, and poking, but the spear in front of Zhao Yun instead used a chopping method to attack him.
In the whole world, Zhao Yun only knows one person who uses a snake spear like this.
