Chapter 20: Killing the Door
The Han Dynasty was parallel to the county and the state, and the state was equivalent to the Taishou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xuzhou has five counties, Lang Evil Country is the northernmost country of its state, north of Qingzhou, west of Yanzhou, east of the sea, the geographical location is quite important.
Although Liu Bei's name is Xuzhou Mu, the Lang evil country is under the control of Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan Kou, these people ostensibly worship Liu Bei as the new master, but in fact they are divided from Lang evil and are in a semi-independent state.
Liu Bei appointed him as the minister of the Lang evil country, and ordered him to go to Kaiyang to take office, how could Zang Ba and the others easily hand over the territory, and they would definitely support the army to resist.
According to the information obtained by the pottery merchants, Zang Ba and his group also had at least four or five thousand soldiers and horses, but Liu Bei only ordered him to go to the post with 800 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, which was obviously to get rid of him through the hands of Zang Ba.
On the surface, he was promoted to an official, but in fact he was told to send him to death, Liu Bei's trick of killing people with a knife is indeed ruthless enough.
"Sun Zhi, Zang Ba and others support the army and respect themselves, it is a well-known thing, if I go to Lang Evil and Zang Ba rises up to resist, what should I do?" The potter was not in a hurry to receive his order.
Sun Qian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Tao, Lord Zhou Mu has reached a consensus with Zang Ba and the others before, and they will obediently hand over the territory." ”
Will Zang Ba hand over the territory?
Devils believe it.
"That being said, I just thought that if in case, if they rebelled, I only had eight hundred soldiers and horses under my command, how could I withstand four or five thousand Taishan Kou?" The potter continued to press.
"Well...... this" Sun Gan stroked his beard, still smiling, "Even so, what does it matter, Tao Gongzi is a martial artist, he can exterminate the pirates single-handedly, and he also pulled out a team of eight hundred people, and in the eyes of Gongzi, thousands of Taishan Kou must all be rabble, if they dare to resist, Gongzi only needs to wipe them out." ”
This Sun Qian, who said everything with a smile on his face as a peacemaker, but he hid a knife in his smile.
Exterminating the five thousand Taishan Kou is easy to say.
"Moreover, the state pastor has sent Mi Bei to the East China Sea Country to raise grain and grass for Gongzi, even if there is an unfortunate war, Gongzi does not have to worry about grain and grass at all." Sun Qian added with a smile.
The East China Sea Kingdom is located in the south of the Lang Evil Kingdom, and the potters can see through it at a glance, Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu to the East China Sea Kingdom, not to act as a backing for himself, but to be his supervisor in the back.
If the potter dares to have different intentions, he will have to face the north-south attack of Zang Ba and Mi Zhu, and he can't take care of each other.
"Liu Bei, your trick is ruthless enough, you are trying to force me to death......" The potter secretly clenched his fists, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his eagle eyes.
The anger flashed away, but the potter suddenly laughed, and said happily: "Thanks to Xuande Gong for being so important, then what else do I have to say, please ask Sun to return to Xuande Gong, I will make a little preparation, and Keri will set off north to Lang Evil Country." ”
Sun Qian's expression moved slightly, as if he didn't expect that the potter would agree so happily, without any bargaining, after a pause, Fang is arched his hand and smiled: "Then Qian, I wish Gongzi a smooth journey." ”
After a polite compliment, Sun Qian got up to say goodbye, and from beginning to end, he had that kind of smile on his face that was very easy to let people relax their vigilance.
As soon as Sun Gan walked forward, Xu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Lord, Zang Ba this person should not be underestimated, there are five thousand Taishan Kou under his command, he will never easily let Lang evil go, the lord only has 800 soldiers and horses in his hands, and this time he is only afraid of more evil and less luck when he goes north." ”
"Yes, my lord, why are you leading us to death again?" Fan Hao couldn't help but shout.
The potter took a light breath and said with a solemn expression: "What you said, how can I not know, of course I know that Liu Bei's move is to kill people with a knife, but this is also an opportunity for us, as long as we can take down Langxi, we can greatly increase our strength, stay in such a remote place as Haixi, sooner or later we will be trapped to death, no matter what, I have to take a risk." ”
Xu Sheng was silent, and after a while, Fang sighed: "The last general understands, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and the lord will be put to death and reborn." ”
"Not bad." The potter glanced at him and looked at him expectantly, "Wen Xiang, do you have the courage to go to danger with me?" ”
Xu Sheng smiled and said proudly: "I, Xu Sheng, have not been afraid of anything for so many years, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will follow the lord and you and him to break through." ”
Receiving Xu Sheng's support, the potter nodded slightly to express his satisfaction, and looked at Fan Xu, who was gnawing on a leg of mutton, "Fan Dayu, what about you, do you have the guts?" ”
"I don't care, I only care if I have meat to eat in Langxie?" Fan raised the leg of mutton in half of his hand.
Foodies are really simple......
The potter laughed: "Haixi is just a small county, but Langxi is a country, you say there is no meat to eat." ”
When Fan Hao heard that there was meat, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, anyway, as long as you can eat him happily, don't be a starving ghost, don't care what kind of swords and fires you have." ”
The two main generals expressed their support, not to mention Mulan, and the potter had no doubts, so he jumped up and said excitedly: "That is the case, what else is there to scruple about, three days later, they will go north to Langxi, they want to borrow the hand of Taishan Kou Potter, I will let their dreams be shattered!" ”
……
Three days later.
When the sky was about to dawn, the pottery merchant led the 800 Tao family army out of the city, and the whole army boarded Xu Sheng's warship and traveled north along the west of the city.
Swimming water is a tributary of the Huai River, flowing from south to north through the East China Sea, Lang evil two countries, pottery merchants along this water to the north, get off the boat in the area of Qu County, and then change to the land route, less than five days can enter the territory of Lang evil country.
The journey was smooth, and two days later, the fleet arrived in Qu County.
When the whole army got off the boat, it was almost dusk, and the potter asked the soldiers and horses to set up camp in the area of Dutou, and he took Hua Mulan and a hundred personal soldiers to go straight to Mijiazhuang in the east of Qu County.
Qu County is the base camp of the Mi family, and now Mi Fang is in the hands of the potter, since he has passed through here, of course he wants to explore the current reality of the Mi family.
Before sunset, a hundred people arrived outside Mijiazhuang, and the potter stood on the horse, so that Mulan stepped forward to call the door.
The door creaked open, and a servant came out lazily, glanced at them casually, yawned, and said, "Who are you, it's almost dark and you are still bothering our Zhuangzi?" ”
Hua Mulan stood with her sword in her hand, her apricot eyes glared, and she shouted: "The new potter of the Lang Evil Kingdom passed through Qu County, and he came to visit, so don't you go and inform your master soon." ”
Hearing the word "potter", the originally impatient servant, as if he had seen a ghost, his face suddenly turned pale with fright.
"It turned out to be pottery...... Tao Guoxiang...... Wait a minute, little one...... ......The servant was so flustered that he stammered, and suddenly he was so sober that he quickly closed the door and ran back to the village.
The previous pottery merchant made Mulan beat Mi Fang, which has made the Mi family fearful, and now he has surrendered Xu Sheng, and his fame has already spread to Qu County.
"Sure enough, the prestige is killed, which makes people fearful, this feeling is really refreshing......," the potter smiled secretly in his heart, and he was happy for a while.
Inside Mijiazhuang, it was quiet.
Mi Zhen in the boudoir was sitting on the edge of the railing, the wooden comb in her hand over and over again, boringly combing the green silk hanging on her chest, starry eyes looking at the sunset on the horizon, "The eldest brother wants to get rid of him by the hand of Taishan Kou, that Zang Ba is strong, even Liu Xuande is afraid of three points, this time, he is only afraid that he will die......" Mi Zhen's starry eyes were uncertain, and he muttered to himself.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the exclamation of a servant in his ears; "Miss...... That Tao Dagongzi Tao ...... Potter, he's here! ”
Mi Zhen, who was coming out of her mind, shook her delicate body violently, and the comb in her hand was so shocked that she fell out of her hand.
"How dare he come to the door?" Mi Zhenteng sat up, and for a moment he was a little out of proportion, and his dignified and beautiful face suddenly swelled with surprise.
Only surprised for a moment, Mi Zhen quickly pressed down the fluctuating emotions, pondered for a moment, and said with a flick of his hand: "Please come to the lobby, I want to see what he wants to do when he comes to my Mijiazhuang." ”
The order was passed down, and Mi Zhen, who had already removed her makeup, hurriedly asked the maids on the left and right to help her redress and change her clothes, and hurriedly tidied up, and then rushed to the lobby.
At this time, the potter had entered Mijiazhuang, followed by Mulan, and was heading to the main hall.
Along the way, the maids and servants of the Mi family either avoided in a panic, or stood with their heads down, not daring to look at him.
On the one hand, this is a person who is afraid of his prestige as a potter, and on the other hand, he is afraid of the "fierce and evil" Mulan beside him, after all, Mi Fang was beaten by her before, many Mi family servants have seen it with their own eyes, and now when they see her again, how can they not tremble.
A moment later, the potter strode up to the main hall, and was about to enter the door, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman in yellow hurrying along the corridor.
It's Mi Zhen.
The potter turned slightly, his eyes looked directly at Mi Zhen, and a playful smile appeared in his blade-like eyes.
Mi Zhen, who came in a hurry, happened to bump into his gaze with ulterior motives, and in an instant, for some reason, his heart was pounding wildly, and his face like snow was also quietly flushed.
