Eight hundred and fortieth chapters treachery failed
Seeing the potter's actions, the people in the army began to murmur.
"Did you see, did you see, the Prime Minister attacked the man!"
"Let me tell you, why did you send these two to escort the food and grass? They are short and small. They don't seem to have much strength. Their feelings are specially sent to the Prime Minister... to the Prime Minister and so on!"
"The Prime Minister has also fallen."
"What kind of depravity is this? The Prime Minister is also a human being, or is one person inferior to ten thousand people? What's the matter?"
"The problem is that the Prime Minister is having too much fun... that's a man."
"The Prime Minister is still young."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. When I was young, I could play with eight men at a time."
"You stay away from me!"
The soldiers were muttering, and Guo Jia on the other side was also shaking his head and tutting his tongue in surprise.
"There is one thing, there is one thing, okay! Two more have been done. The pretty little girls these days don't know if they are blind, and they all have to fall in love with him. Guo is so handsome, but there is no one like him.
Come and stick to me!"
Tian Feng stood next to Guo Jia and shook his head vigorously: "Humph, what kind of behavior is so immoral! What about the Prime Minister? Bah!"
Guo Jia glanced sideways at Tian Feng and said with a smile: "Are you jealous, Mr. Yuan Hao, are you a human being? Be more free and easy, like Guo. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Tian Feng's beard stood up straight with anger.
"Am I jealous of him? It's a joke. When I was young and was sought after by the talented ladies of the noble family, he was still a piece of shit! It's not that I'm bragging, let alone him, it's just your so-called prodigal skills. In my eyes, it doesn't matter at all.
Worth it!"
Guo Jia bowed his head and said, "Sir, you are so awesome. Guo is willing to be the loser."
…
Just when the Tao Shang side received food and grass and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, the morale of the Cao and Liu coalition forces fell into a low ebb.
Zhang Ren led the defeated remnants of his Yizhou Army back to the coalition camp.
Facing Zhang Ren's defeat, the coalition forces of Cao and Liu faced an unprecedented crisis.
Zhang Ren stated everything in front of Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Liu Bei, and finally said: "The general has done something wrong and delayed the important affairs of the coalition. I would rather die."
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Ren and didn't say anything. He just sighed heavily in his heart.
If Zhang Ren is a general under his command, regardless of whether this matter is a mistake in the coach's decision-making, as the executor, Zhang Ren will inevitably be severely punished by military regulations.
But Cao Cao cannot do this now, because firstly, he is not the leader of the alliance, and secondly, Zhang Ren is not a general under him. Cao Cao cannot offend this person, nor can he offend Liu Zhang.
Cao Cao turned to look at Liu Biao and said, "Let the leader of the alliance decide everything."
When Liu Biao heard that the Jingzhou army was defeated and that Chang Xi, Lingbao, and Deng Xian were dead, he felt worried and coughed heavily in desperation.
When he was young, Liu Biao finished coughing, straightened up and said: "That's all, that's all, this matter is not entirely your fault, it's our commander's misadventure, and I can't blame General Zhang... Well, I see you have also suffered a lot of injuries.
Just go down and rest."
"Thank you, leader!" Zhang Ren quickly handed over to Liu Biao, and then left the camp with a guilty look on his face.
Cao Cao turned to Liu Biao in confusion and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Jing Sheng, military law is ruthless. Isn't it a bit too biased for us to treat Zhang Ren like this? Even if he is Liu Zhang's favorite general, we should not be like this.
"
Liu Biao shook his head and said: "It's really no wonder Zhang Ren. When Meng De proposed his plan to me, didn't he also swear that the pottery merchant would not see through our strategy? Now the pottery merchant not only knows the truth of our army,
You even went to ambush Zhang Ren personally...didn’t I do nothing to you?"
Liu Biao's words were quite polite, but in reality he was trying to squeeze Cao Cao with both guns and sticks.
Cao Cao is also the overlord of his side. In recent years, except for the pottery merchants, few people have given him such a high profile.
When Liu Biao said this, it was like slapping him in the mouth.
He was annoyed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only let it go.
Old man Liu Biao, how dare you make fun of me with your words?
Just wait, Cao is not finished with you!
Liu Bei saw that the atmosphere was not right at the side, and hurriedly stood up to help Cao Cao: "Brother Jingsheng, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. Our allied soldiers worked together to report to the Han Dynasty. Although there were occasional small defeats, it did not affect the overall situation. In the future,
Sooner or later, Tao Thief will pay the price."
Liu Biao nodded and said: "Of course I understand what Xuande said, so I didn't punish anyone."
Cao Cao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and smiled: "What Jing Sheng said is that Cao must look back on himself to find out his mistakes in the use of troops."
Liu Biao smiled lightly and said: "What did Meng De say? I never meant it."
You damn near said it outright, but you didn’t mean it?
Mr. Liu, are you a little arrogant?
…
After returning to his commander's tent, Cao Cao quickly ordered his men to find Jia Xu.
Jia Xu slowly came to Cao Cao's handsome tent. As soon as he opened the curtain and entered, he saw an inkstone smashed at his feet.
Jia Xu was startled. He, who was always calm and composed, almost jumped up.
After so many years, no one seems to have hit him with an inkstone.
Jia Xu looked up at Cao Cao in surprise.
But he saw Cao Cao staring at him angrily.
Jia Xu was so shrewd that he knew by looking at Cao Cao's face that his plan had not succeeded and that he must have failed miserably.
"The plan after using Yizhou soldiers to sneak attack on the pottery merchant...did it fail?"
Cao Cao stood up with gritted teeth and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that? You haven't come up with a plan for a year. I thought you would hit it once you came up with a plan. What's going on now? The plan made the pottery merchant clean and prosperous.
Xi, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Lingbao, and Deng Xian are all broken. Cao has lost a lot of face in front of Liu Biao today! Have you still got the point right?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he showed a slightly surprised expression. He pondered for a while and said: "The pottery merchant saw through my plan... Could it be that Guo Jia was behind it? It seems that this genius is more powerful than I imagined."
It’s much more powerful.”
"Can't you imagine? There are still many things that you can't imagine!" Cao Cao picked up a slip from the desk, threw it at Jia Xu's feet, and said: "See for yourself!"
Jia Xu lowered his head and glanced at the slip, his heart beating wildly.
"Potter...do you have military rations?"
"Nonsense!" Cao Cao said angrily: "The scout reported that Tao has raised all the military supplies. Didn't you say that as long as the pottery merchant's military rations are burned, his rear will never be able to raise food in a short time?
Didn’t you say that you have been well aware of the situation of the pottery merchants’ territories over the years? Please explain to me what is going on now!”
Jia Xu's usually calm face finally became truly moved this time.
"The pottery merchant has even solved the problem of food and grass? It's impossible. No matter how resourceful and powerful people like Guo Jia, Chen Deng, and Zhuge Liang are, if there is nothing, it is nothing. Can they still conjure it out of thin air?"
Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "The pottery merchant just conjured it up out of thin air... Hehe, it's all in vain that Cao Mou always regards you as the wise man of the world. You! You really disappoint Cao Mou."
