Tao Shang was not angry or angry. He just calmly rejected Guo Jia and Chen Deng's suggestions and continued to station in Luoyang. The whole army waited quietly for Wang Yun wearing sackcloth and mourning.
Such a huge army does nothing every day, just stationed Dai Xiao dryly around the city. For hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this is indeed a great thing. They don't have to fight or march, they just wear clothes every day.
A life with food in hand and mouth open can be described as the ultimate happiness.
But for the political camp that leads them, this is an extremely loss-making deal.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies are all stationed in Luoyang City, motionless. The daily consumption of the entire army can be said to be huge. Any lord would feel distressed seeing such consumption.
However, the pottery merchant's small-mindedness was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. This time, he was surprisingly not affected by these losses, which was very surprising.
Was he so stimulated?
Guo Jia and Chen Deng walked out of the pottery merchant's mansion.
Chen Deng kept his head down, frowning, as if he was worried.
Guo Jia, on the other hand, was thinking quietly about something. He looked up at the sky and gently stroked the beard on his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
"I didn't expect that the death of Wang Situ would be such a huge blow to the Lord! He even changed his personality. This is a bit strange."
Guo Jia, however, didn't say anything. He just stood aside, looking up at the sky, quietly watching the white clouds in the sky slowly flowing with the wind. His eyes were chattering, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that Guo Jia was silent, Chen Deng turned to look at him and asked curiously: "Fengxiao, why don't you speak?"
After Guo Jia was stunned for a long time, he suddenly said: "Guo doesn't think so."
Chen Deng turned to look at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Guo Jia's expression, which was still confused just now, suddenly turned into a smile.
He shook his head and said: "The death of Wang Situ is indeed a sad thing for the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister is an extraordinary person after all. His mind is hurt but his wisdom is not. Guo Mo just thought about it carefully and thought that the Prime Minister
This move must have deep meaning, we just have to wait for the good show."
Chen Deng was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully, but he still couldn't understand it to some extent.
"Brother Fengxiao, what do you mean, please tell me the truth?"
Guo Jia pretended to be mysterious and curled his lips, saying: "The secret must not be revealed. You will know it when the time comes. You don't need to teach me."
Chen Deng was a little unhappy: "You prodigal son! You are still trying to betray me? Tell me!"
Guo Jia chuckled, waved his hand gently, and said, "You asked Guo Mou to tell you, and then Guo Mou said it to you? Isn't that too shameless? This is absolutely unacceptable."
As the leader of the Xuzhou noble clan and a wise man, Chen Deng naturally has his pride. Since Guo Jia insists on showing off in front of him, Chen Deng cannot lick his face and ask him to enlighten his heart.
If you spread your doubts, wouldn't it prove to the world that you are not as good as Guo Jia?
…
At the same time, in Hangu Pass in Guanzhong, the news about the pottery merchants was naturally known to Zhong Yao.
The princes of Guanzhong lost Luoyang, and facing the pottery merchants who had already arrived at the door, everyone was more or less worried.
Now I heard that the pottery merchant was mourning Wang Yun at Hangu Pass, and everyone suddenly became excited, everyone was gearing up, and they were ready to attack the pottery merchant.
Among the princes in Guanzhong, someone proposed this opinion to Zhong Yao.
At present, Zhong Yao alone makes the decision on everything. Jia Xu has gone to Hanzhong, but Zhong Yao can no longer discuss with him.
And the only ones who can discuss the matter with him are these Guanzhong princes.
"I didn't expect that Wang Yun's death would have such a great impact on the pottery merchants!" Everyone was chattering with excitement.
Warlord Cheng Yin stood up, raised his hands to Zhong Yao and said: "Although the enemy's forces are strong, but now that Wang Yun's death has had such a great impact on the pottery merchants, we might as well take the opportunity to send troops to counterattack and give the pottery merchants
A show of force!"
Zhong Yao stroked his beard and thought for a long time before saying: "Now all the enemy soldiers are in mourning. The three armies are stationed in place, wearing sackcloth and mourning. The form is quite loose. We have just been defeated. If we take this opportunity to go back and kill them, we can definitely do it."
Greatly weaken the opponent's combat power!"
Hearing what Zhong Yao said, everyone's morale was very high.
"Kill back!"
"Yes, let the potter have a taste of it!"
"We can't give up Luoyang to someone named Tao in vain!"
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Zhong Yao nodded with satisfaction. He looked around at the crowd and couldn't help laughing in the end.
…
The defenders of Hangu Pass were Li Jue and Guo Bang. According to Zhong Yao's request, they were also asked to participate in the counterattack against Luoyang this time.
In fact, Li Jue and Guo Bang didn't want to go at all. In their opinion, just asking them to guard Hangu Pass was enough to make them unhappy, but the old man Zhong Yao let them go back with the Guanzhong princes to fight.
Luoyang.
Although he knew that Tao Shang had an opportunity to ask the three armies to pay tribute to Wang Yun, Li Jue thought that if he went back now, even if he won, it would have no practical significance.
At most, it would only consume part of the pottery merchant's strength, so what?
Can you still destroy the pottery merchant?
Although this is the truth, for Li Jue and Guo Si, they have no choice but to continue to follow the big team.
In fact, it stands to reason that with Li Jue's urinary temperament and the war reaching this level, he should have led his troops to betray Cao Cao and defect to the Taoshang.
But unfortunately, for him now, this road is completely impossible.
Today, the only person who has a sworn feud with Li Jue and Guo Si is Lu Bu, who competed with Dong Zhuo for power after his death.
But now Lu Bu is not only the general under the potter, but also the father-in-law of the potter.
With such status, it can be said that Li Jue and Guo Si took refuge in the pottery merchant's service, and I'm afraid they will not last long in the future.
As a result, the two of them can only follow Cao Cao all the way to the dark side.
…
The dark moon kills people on a murderous night, and the wind blows high and sets people on fire.
The soldiers and horses returning from Hangu Pass began to quietly lurk towards Luoyang City.
Wanting to recapture Luoyang City was nothing more than a dream for Cao Jun, and Zhong Yao also knew this.
But he didn't intend to do this either.
It was naturally impossible for all of Tao Shang's soldiers and horses to enter Luoyang City, so many of his soldiers and horses were camped outside Luoyang City.
For Zhong Yao, it would be a great achievement if he could defeat the Tao soldiers in these camps.
All the soldiers held hay in their hands, waiting to burn the pottery camp outside Luoyang City.
