Upon hearing the potter's question, the two of them naturally knew what was going on.
The pottery merchant was preparing to inquire about the situation of Cao's army from the two of them.
But Wu Dun stood up hurriedly, raised his fists at the pottery merchant, and said: "How can we not repay the kindness of the Prime Minister to survive? The layout of the military camp of Cao's army, the amount of food, grass and weapons, or the population, military and horse conditions within its territory,
As long as the two of us know anything, we will tell it all to the Prime Minister and we will never hide anything."
When Yin Li saw Wu Dun expressing his stance, he immediately nodded his head.
Tao Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "Those things are too complicated, and I think the school officials of the school affairs office can investigate the matters in the military, so the two generals don't need to worry about it."
Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at each other in surprise.
"Then, what does the Prime Minister want to know?"
Tao Shang looked back and forth between the two men with a smile and said, "I want to know about Cao Junzhong's interpersonal relationships."
"Interpersonal relationships?" Wu Dun scratched his head in confusion and said, "Who are the relationships?"
"Anyone can say whatever they want, just like chatting at home." The pottery merchant raised the wine glass in his hand: "We are in a wine shop, so naturally the chatter is just gossip."
Although Wu Dun and Yin Li didn't know what Tao was planning, they didn't hide anything.
Since it was the Prime Minister's order, they naturally said whatever they thought.
The three of them drank and talked.
At first, the two of them were quite cautious and did not dare to talk casually in front of the pottery merchant.
But as they drank more and more, their consciousness gradually became unclear, their spirits began to relax, and they began to talk more.
In particular, the pottery merchant was particularly easy-going in front of them, and he was the first to talk about the interpersonal relationships under his command.
Sima Yi has been jealous of Zhuge Liang's fan since he was a child, Guo Jia always wanted to kill You Luzi, Mi Fang and Xu Chu's grievances and grievances.
Seeing that the potter was so down-to-earth, the two of them talked more and more, and what they said became more and more down-to-earth.
The two talked about Xiahou Dun's death that year and the hatred Xia Houyuan and others had for Tao. Then the conversation changed and they talked about how Bao Zhong and Bao Tao were not successful under Cao Cao...
Upon hearing this, the potter's eyes suddenly lit up.
He hurriedly said: "Bao Xin was both a good friend and a benefactor to Cao Cao back then. He also handed over his troops to Cao Cao before his death. Cao Cao came to Yanzhou thanks to Bao Xin's recommendation... Why did Cao Cao do so to Cao Cao?
What’s wrong with Erbao?”
"Not good?" Wu Dun was a little dazed after drinking, and his tongue was bulging: "It's not just bad? If it weren't because Bao Xin was kind to Cao Cao back then, and thinking about this old relationship, with Cao Cao's temperament, he would have
They both died alive!"
"Why is this?"
Yin Li chuckled and said, "It's not because of Mrs. Cao's matter."
As soon as he said this, the pottery merchant understood it immediately.
When Cao Song was tricked by Yuan Shao and died in Xuzhou, the person who protected Cao Cao and welcomed Cao Song was none other than Er Bao.
Although Cao Cao also knew that this was Yuan Shao's doing, Er Bao did have certain objective factors in this matter.
If it were the potter himself, his own father was killed by others under the eyes of these two people, and then he had to watch these two people wandering around in front of him every day, which must have been a bad feeling in his heart.
It's normal to want to clean them up.
It's human nature and understandable.
Tao Shang thought for a moment and asked, "Do those two people know that Cao Cao looks down on them?"
Wu Dun slapped the table and said: "Hey! That's of course! We can all see that Er Bao doesn't have a clue? Military power is gradually weakened, and his salary is reduced and fined from time to time.
Every once in a while someone would find trouble, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cao Cao was deliberately trying to punish them, just because of Bao Xin's kindness back then, he never made a killing move."
Yin Li took a drink and said, "But even if we don't kill him now, sooner or later he will. I guess Erbao also knows in his heart that the matter of Old Lady Cao is a knot in Cao Cao's heart. Sooner or later he will.
It’s all about things.”
The potter laughed when he heard this.
After drinking, the pottery merchant sent someone to take the two of them to rest.
Wu Dun and Yin Li left with great gratitude.
The potter stayed alone in the hall talking to himself.
"Brother Bao Xin, during the battle against Dong Zhuo, we were very close friends. Not only did I think that after your death, your brother's life under the Cao family was not satisfactory. In this case, whether it is for yourself or for a friend, Tao
We all have the responsibility to help you teach Cao Cao a lesson, and of course I will protect your two younger brothers."
…
While Tao Shang was fighting the Yizhou soldiers in the rear, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong fought several times in Qufu City in the front, but they couldn't decide the outcome.
The talents of the two are almost equal. The only difference may be that Zhuge Liang seeks stability while Pang Tong seeks danger.
After fighting like this for several times, Zhuge Liang was tired and Pang Tong was tired, but no news came from the rear.
Just when the patience of both parties was almost worn out, news of the pottery merchant finally reached Qufu City.
As soon as they received the news from the pottery merchant, all the generals in Qufu City were as excited as if they were going to explode.
"The Prime Minister is indeed still the Prime Minister. He defeated the Yizhou soldiers who sneaked in and killed two Yizhou military generals, Lingbao and Deng Xian. Even Chang Xi was killed by Zang Ba. Hey, now, Guo thought
Let’s see what Cao Cao’s expression will look like.”
Lu Su said from the side: "I'm afraid that the news of the Yizhou soldiers' defeat will spread to the coalition forces soon, right? Haha, it will be interesting then."
Tian Feng said from the side: "Don't be too happy too early. The food issue has not been resolved yet. The fifteen-day deadline is coming soon. When the food is cut off, I don't know how you want to deal with it?"
These words suddenly penetrated into the hearts of everyone present, suppressing the joy that had just emerged from everyone.
Yes, the most important thing has not been solved, and everything else is nonsense.
Guo Jia turned around and gave Tian Feng a hard look, saying, "You are the only one who talks too much."
Tian Feng said slowly: "I am reminding you."
"I don't mind reminding you, Guo is also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he still understands this truth."
Tian Feng didn't reply, just looked at Guo Jia and smiled.
How should I describe that smile? It feels very unsatisfactory.
Guo Jia wished she could kick him to death.
At this moment, Sima Yi hurriedly ran into the city and shouted to everyone: "The food is coming, the food is coming!"
This sentence was like thunder on the ground. Guo Jia suddenly turned around, ran to Sima Yi's side, and said: "Who did you say is coming?"
"The grain is here! A lot of grain has been transported from the north to Qufu City!"
Chen Deng frowned when he heard this: "From the north? This is wrong. Han Hao and Zhang Zhao's grain and grass should be transported from the south. Why did they transfer the grain and grass to the north?"
Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Well, the people who brought the food are not from the Han family... They are from the Zhen family and the Yuan family."
