"The eldest brother is not in Xiapi to assist Xuande Gong, how do you think of returning to Qu City?" Mi Zhen asked with a smile, and personally served tea and water to Mi Zhu, who had just entered the door.

Mi Zhu took a sip and moistened his throat, and said: "Xuande Gong appointed the pottery merchant as the Lang evil minister, and when he comes back this time, he wants to sit in the East China Sea Kingdom and ensure that he has no return." ”

Mi Zhen's expression moved slightly, and he naturally understood the meaning of his eldest brother's words.

Wiping away the dust, Mi Zhu asked again: "I heard people say that the potter passed through Qu County the day before yesterday, and he actually came to make trouble?" ”

"It's not a trouble, it's just a show off that he now has soldiers and horses, and he has strength." Mi Zhen smiled disapprecatingly.

"The villain has a will." Mi Zhu snorted coldly, but asked again: "Did that kid reveal the whereabouts of the second brother?" ”

"Not really." Mi Zhen shook her head and sighed: "The second brother didn't listen to my advice, he had to go to the pirates in person, who thought that Xu Sheng's family would surrender to the pottery merchant, there has been no news so far, I'm afraid it's more than lucky." ”

Mi Zhu frowned, and his elegant momentum revealed a bit of hatred.

Bang!

The water cup fell the case, and Mi Zhu said with a gloomy face: "Most of the second brother has been killed by the pottery merchant, and this time he got rid of him with the hand of Zang Ba, which can be regarded as revenge for the second brother, I didn't expect that our Mi family would pay such a big price in order to dissolve this marriage contract." ”

"Alas......" Mi Zhen sighed lightly again, but said worriedly: "That potter has escaped death repeatedly, I see that this person is deeply hidden, it seems that he is not an incompetent person, and I don't know if he can get rid of him with the help of Zang Ba this time." ”

Mi Zhu laughed, laughing disapprerovingly, the laughter seemed to be teasing, how unnecessary his sister's worry was.

"Zang Ba has 5,000 soldiers, whether it is Tao Qian, or the current Xuande Gong, they are all afraid of it, do you think that with the ability of pottery merchants, only a few hundred soldiers and horses, will it be Zang Ba's opponent?"

Facing her brother's rhetorical question, Mi Zhen was silent, and the gloom on her face gradually faded.

Mi Zhu took a sip of wine and sneered: "Don't say it's Zang Ba, I'm afraid that kid won't even be able to pass the level of Jiqiu Changxuan, maybe now, he has fallen to Jiqiu City." ”

As soon as the words fell, a domestic servant hurried in with a panicked expression, interrupting the conversation between the Mi brothers and sisters.

"Report to the master, that is, there is an urgent report from the Qiu side, a few days ago the potters burned the hill, broke through the city, and captured the defenders of Changfeng."

A thunderbolt crashed into the lobby.

In an instant, the Mi brothers and sisters were stunned, and they looked at each other in surprise, and their eyes were full of unbelievable colors.

"Impossible!" Mi Zhu woke up from the shock, jumped up, and snatched the information from the servant's hand to see it urgently.

A mere potter, with only 800 soldiers and horses, not only broke through the 1,000 Taishan army guarded by the hill, but also captured the defender Chang Xuan, such an incredible record, Mi Zhuyan can easily believe.

After reading the details of the information, the elegant temperament on Mi Zhu's face collapsed, and his expression became more and more shocked and confused, and finally froze in a moment of dazed shock.

Mi Zhen was not surprised, and in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the potter's bold words in this hall that day.

"He didn't let his heart go, he actually captured the ...... of Jiqiu"

Thoughts were like waves, disturbing his mind, and after a while, Mi Zhen Fang Shi calmed down his chaotic mood a little, bit his lips, hesitated, and sighed: "Big brother, maybe we all looked away at the beginning, this potter is deeply hidden, hidden talent, may not be able to bear the responsibility of this state pastor." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu changed color in shock, and hurriedly retreated left and right, seeing that there was no one around, Fang Shen said in a deep voice: "Little sister, how can you be open-mouthed, if this word reaches Xuande Gong, it will not be of any benefit to you, me, or our Mi family." You have to remember that no matter what happened before, it is Xuande Gong who is now sitting in the state pastoral seat and holding the military and political power of Xuzhou, do you understand? ”

"Little sister understands, but ......"

"No, but!" Mi Zhu interrupted her suspicion and said coldly: "Even if the potter is hidden, it is just a little clever, how can it be roughly compared with the eloquence of Xuande Gong." Brother Wei is convinced that this time he captured Jiqiu, it was just a fluke, and when he really faced the main force of Zang Ba's Taishan army, he would definitely be defeated. ”

The elder brother's resolute judgment forcibly suppressed the slight wavering in Mi Zhen's heart, and she had to sigh lightly and mutter, "I hope so." ”

……

Kaiyang City.

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a banquet is being held in pleasure.

The host of the banquet, Zang Ba, the leader of the Taishan Army, sat on top and took turns to accept the toasts of his subordinates, and he didn't realize that the wine was wet with thick black hair.

On his face, there was a knife mark left obliquely from the right eye, which added a bit of hideous appearance to him.

And the guest of honor at this banquet was Sun Qian, a staff member of Liu Bei, Mu of Xuzhou.

"Sun Zhi, can Xuande Gong speak?" Zang Ba asked with a smile.

Sun Qian smiled and said: "General Xuangao put a hundred hearts, my lord is a clan member of the Han family, the lord of benevolence and righteousness, naturally it is a word, as long as the pottery merchant dies, General Xuangao took the initiative to write a letter to apologize and ask for forgiveness, and my lord should appoint General Xuangao as the minister of the evil country." ”

"That's good, isn't it just to get rid of a gentleman, presumably at this moment, the potter has been killed under the city of Jiqiu, and has been punished by my general Chang Xuan." Zang Ba was full of confidence, as if he didn't take the potter seriously at all.

Sun Gan laughed until his face was wrinkled, and he hurriedly raised his glass and said: "Na Qian is here, congratulations in advance to General Xuan Gao on sitting on the throne of this evil country." ”

"Hahaha-" Zang Ba laughed loudly, drinking wildly.

In the lobby, a group of Taishan soldiers also drank wildly, and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant, as if no one was afraid of the pottery merchants.

"Newspaper - that is, Qiu Urgent Report!" The scout rushed in and shouted: "The day before yesterday, the potters attacked the hill with a fire attack plan, and the general Chang Feng was defeated and fled, and was captured by the potters, that is, the hill has been lost." ”

In the originally noisy lobby, the laughter stopped abruptly, and there was silence in an instant.

The happy faces, including Zang Ba and Sun Qian, were instantly ossified and distorted by this astonishing information, and finally turned into shock and stunned.

Zang Ba was the first to wake up, jumped up, his scarred face cracked hideously, and roared: "Chang Feng has a thousand soldiers and horses, two hundred more than the one surnamed the pottery merchant, how can he not be able to hold the hill and give the pottery merchant a capture?" ”

The scout then told the details of how the potters infiltrated the city and set fire to the city through a secret passage in the battle of Jiqiu, and how they intercepted and killed the fleeing defeated soldiers outside the north gate and captured Changfeng alive.

In the lobby, the silence turned into an uproar.

Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dun and other Taishan generals were all dumbfounded, and they discussed with each other, and they couldn't believe that the potter, this rumored incompetent son, could have such a trick.

Whoa!

In an uproar, Zang Ba overturned the case in front of him, Scar's face was furious and hideous, and he said angrily: "Okay, you potter, you dare to really do it with my Taishan Army, it seems that if I don't take action myself, I won't be able to clean you up." ”

"The pottery merchant has just captured Jiqiu, and his foothold is not stable, if General Xuangao uses Kaiyang's troops to go south, he will definitely be able to kill him in one fell swoop." Sun Qian also instigated from the side.

"Big brother, send troops to avenge Chang Xuan."

"If the potter dares not to take our Taishan army in his eyes, we will destroy that kid."

A group of Taishan generals, all indignant, shouted for war, as if as long as their army came out, the potter was like an ant.

The anger has been ignited, Zang Ba drew his sword in his hand, and said sharply to the south: "Pass on my generals, tomorrow I will raise an army of 4,000 and follow me to pacify that little man." ”

……

i.e. the city of hills.

Three days have passed since the potters conquered the city.

In the course of three days, the potters strengthened the city on the one hand, and recruited troops and horses in the Jiqiu area to expand their strength.

Chang Feng poisoned that the mound has been a long time, the people hated him and Taishan Kou to the bone, now the pottery merchant captured Chang Xuan, drove away Taishan Kou, the people inside and outside the city are all happy, with his recruitment list as soon as it is posted, in a few days, there are nearly 500 people to enlist.

The potter then selected the best men to be included in the camp, and in a few days his army grew to about 1,300 men.

In the county government, the pottery merchant was discussing the training with Fan Xu, Xu Sheng hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "My lord, there is an urgent report from the north, Zang Ba has done his best to open the four thousand Taishan Kou, and the momentum is violent, and it is only less than forty miles away from me, that is, Qiu City." ”

Four thousand Tarzan Kou!

This number, even Fan Xu's expression moved slightly, revealing a little jealousy.

"Four thousand Taishan Kou, Zang Ba is going to pour out of the nest, relying on a lot of soldiers, wanting to crush me in one fell swoop." The potter sneered.

Xu Sheng's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, Zang Ba's strength is several times that of our army, and they are all elite soldiers, and the newly formed army of our army is not enough to fight a battle. ”

"Lord, he's right, let's keep it, we can't beat it, it's okay to keep it." Fan Xu also agreed.

The potter was silent, staring down at the map, weighing the current situation.

After pondering for a long time, the potter slammed the case and said resolutely: "Liu Bei is eyeing the back, dragging it down will only lead to long nights and dreams, which is not good for us, I want to take the initiative to attack and solve it quickly!" ”
