Chapter eight hundred and eighty third battle in Wancheng
Wang Yun's incident made Tao Shang feel uncomfortable. Although he understood very well that the boundary between people's fate lies in life and death, and no one can avoid it, but when the matter came to pass, it was still difficult to accept it.
He understands that things in the world are unpredictable and come and go, but no one can help him bear the sadness.
Although Wang Yun and he always quarrel and bicker on weekdays, there are more elements of games in this, and it is not that the relationship between the two is really not harmonious.
The potter helped Tao Qian out of the hall. The father and son stood in the courtyard together, looking at the lush green leaves in the courtyard and smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard.
Wang Yun let out a long sigh and said: "Life is just like these flowers, plants and trees. Even if they are lush and beautiful, in the end they just dissipate without leaving any trace."
At this point, Tao Qian let out a long sigh and said, "If Prince Master has left, I'm afraid I'm not far away."
The potter was stunned when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Father, don't talk nonsense. You are in good health and will live a long life."
Tao Qian chuckled: "My old friends in this generation are like autumn leaves in the wind, scattered. If I stay alone in this world, what's the use even if I live a hundred years?"
The potter wanted to persuade Tao Qian, but he didn't know how.
When a person reaches a certain age, death gradually approaches. This is a fact that no one can avoid. Even potters will face all this in the future. No one can help at this level and they can only rely on their own efforts.
If he walked over, he wouldn't be able to help Tao Qian much.
Moreover, the situation of the pottery merchant is different from that of ordinary people. He has been reincarnated. According to normal circumstances, he has lived two lifetimes.
But in the previous life, he only came here after taking a nap. Whether he died in the previous life, Tao Shang didn't have a clear idea in his mind.
"But it's okay. There are too many troubles in the world. The older generation like me and I have experienced too many things. The world is full of strife and wars... I am very lucky to see peace in the world in my lifetime." Tao Qian laughed.
The way.
The potter gently supported Tao Qian's hand and shook it unconsciously.
But Tao Qian turned his head and said to Tao Shang: "Son, in this world, my father will wait for the older generation to accompany you on your journey. As for the future of the world, it will be left to your generation.
"
…
After resting in Xuchang for a period of time, the pottery merchant decided to lead his troops to Wancheng to explore the situation in Guanzhong.
The army then set off, and Tao Shang led 30,000 troops first, carrying Wang Yun and Tao Qian to Wancheng.
The journey from Xuchang to Wancheng is not particularly far, but Wang Yun's physical condition is not particularly good. This journey is very difficult for him. When he arrives at Wancheng, Wang Yun's physical condition has reached
A state of near collapse.
But he still insisted on not needing help from others to reduce the trouble he caused to others.
Tao Shang asked Wang Yun and Tao Qian to rest, while he himself called Chen Deng, Tai Shi Ci, Lu Bu and others to inquire about the current situation.
Although Tao Qian was somewhat tired due to his age, he did not go back to rest. He insisted on listening. Tao Shang saw that the old man had a firm opinion, so he arranged for him to meet the generals with him.
Chen Deng waited until he arrived at the pottery merchant and congratulated the pottery merchant: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister for pacifying Jingzhou. Jingzhou is in the middle of the world and its geographical location is extremely important. With the capture of Jingzhou, from now on, the Prime Minister will never be in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."
,The general trend of the world lies in the hands of the Prime Minister!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Deng saw Tao Qian again and said with a smile: "The Immortal is here too. Congratulations. Congratulations."
Tao Qian glanced at him lightly and said, "Yuanlong, your ability to flatter people is getting stronger and stronger."
Chen Deng smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, Lu Bu, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao and others walked in together.
When Lu Bu saw Tao Qian sitting next to the pottery merchant, he stepped forward with a smile, patted Tao Qian on the back, and said with a smile: "My dear, why are you here too!"
This slap was so powerful that Tao Qian was almost knocked off his feet.
The pottery merchant said quickly: "Be gentle, my father has not been fighting for a long time and his health is not good!"
Lu Bu showed an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, Bu got carried away for a moment and was a little distracted. My dear, are you okay?"
Tao Qian rolled his eyes at Lu Bu dissatisfied and said, "It's okay."
Tao Shang coughed slightly and said: "Everyone, Jingzhou has been pacified now, and the dilemma in the south has been resolved. Now for Tao, the land in Guanzhong has become a top priority again."
After a pause, Tao Shang said: "Have the recent troops from Guanzhong marched towards Wancheng?"
Taishi Ci cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, although the princes in Guanzhong have not marched towards Wancheng recently, many people have come to harass them. The military attache is guarded by General Pang De under Cao Cao's command. It is said that Cheng Yu is also assisting.
You have frequently sent troops and horses to test our army, but I don’t know what you mean?”
Lu Bu also answered: "I have tried to send troops many times to defeat their sentry troops, but they were all blocked by Yuan Long."
Chen Deng laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, Marquis Wen, just follow me. Cheng Yu's original intention must be to test our strength in Wancheng. After all, the prime minister's army was all in Jingzhou at that time. How many soldiers and horses were there in Wancheng?"
Cheng Yu doesn't know either. If he can see that our army is weak, he will definitely send troops to capture Wancheng. When the two sides fight, it will be detrimental to the Jingzhou front line and may affect the prime minister's energy."
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Yuan Long's consideration is correct, but what has Cheng Yu done recently?"
Taishi Ci said: "Since the prime minister defeated Jingzhou and Cheng Yu came to inquire about the truth and truth, he has never been here again."
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Cheng Yu is also a smart man. He knows the current situation. The land of Jingzhou is ours. I think he will not go out easily again. So what is he doing now?"
Chen Dengdao: "Just guard the Wuguan and strengthen defense. There are no other actions."
The pottery merchant frowned and said, "That's not possible. When these two parties are fighting, one party must take action. If both parties delay the fight, wouldn't the war be boring?"
Chen Deng said: "Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, what should we do now?"
Tao Shang touched his chin, narrowed his eyes and said: "I heard that Cao Cao is in Hanzhong now, but this man is extremely cunning. No one knows what he will do. I suspect that he may have rushed back to Luoyang or Chang'an now.
, but Wuguan is a big obstacle for us to go to Guanzhong, we might as well send troops to test the opponent's combat power... Who wants to go to Wuguan to test for a while? "
Lu Bu stepped forward and said: "I wish to go!"
The potter nodded with satisfaction and said: "Marquis Wen came out of Guanzhong back then. Now he has re-entered Guanzhong and is waiting for Marquis Wen to show his power again. I will give Marquis Wen three thousand soldiers and horses, and Marquis Wen will go to Wuguan to call for battle.
, this time it’s time for us to test each other’s strength.”
