As soon as it was dark the next day, the potter kept his promise, let Sun Qian go, and personally sent him outside the camp gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sun Gan bowed his hand to leave, turned his head and rode his horse wildly, looking back at Tao Ying's gradual disappearance, until he disappeared below the horizon, Sun Gan, whose nerves had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, God blessed, I accidentally stumbled into the conspiracy of the thief and Mi Zhu, and I had to hurry back to the camp and report this 100,000 urgent matter to the lord......"

Thoughts were flying, the corners of Sun Gan's mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer, and he rode his horse and galloped for miles, and Liu Jun's camp was vaguely ahead.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei was sitting with a frown, and the expression on his gray face was uncertain.

Liu Bei, who has always been calm, couldn't help but show his face the anxiety in his heart at this moment.

Xiapi has been besieged for ten days, the situation is unpredictable, and I don't know how many days Chen Deng can hold on.

In the direction of Huainan, Yuan Shu, who was originally defeated by Shouchun, raised troops again after hearing the chaos in Xuzhou, and marched along Huaishui to Guangling County.

At this point, Liu Bei could only concentrate on quelling the joint rebellion of the potters and Lu Bu, and had no flawless division of troops to the south, and he could only endure the pain of cutting his flesh, and saw that Guangling County fell into the hands of Yuan Shu.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent came to report, saying that Sun Qian had returned.

"Gongyu is back!" Liu Bei was taken aback.

At the beginning, Sun Qian sent an envoy to Yuan Tan, and was ordered by him to marry the eldest prince of Yuan, and assisted Yuan Tan in attacking Lang Xie in order to get rid of the pottery merchants, but because Yuan Tan was defeated and captured by the pottery merchants, his life and death have not been inquired.

Months passed, Liu Bei thought that Sun Qian had been killed by the pottery merchants, but he never expected that he would come back at this time.

Liu Bei's originally anxious thoughts suddenly became surprised, and he was busy ordering Sun Qian to meet him.

After a while, when he saw a person walking into the tent, Liu Bei raised his eyes to see who it would be if it wasn't Sun Qian.

When he saw Liu Bei, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, stepped forward to bow to him, and said ashamedly: "I am incompetent, I was captured by a thief, I only came to see the lord today, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Sun Gannai was ordered by Liu Bei to send Yuan Tan to act as a guide for his attack on the pottery merchants, but the plan failed, but he was captured alive by the pottery merchants, so he naturally felt ashamed of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hurriedly got up and helped Sun Qian up, "Gongyou, you will stay by Yuan Tan's side on my orders, the reason why you are captured by the pottery merchant thief is also because Yuan Tan is incompetent and has affected you, and now I can come back alive, I am already very relieved, how can I blame you." ”

Liu Bei's generosity moved Sun Gan very much, and when he raised his head, he was already moved to tears.

Liu Bei comforted him again, and only then asked him how he escaped from the potter, but Sun Gan didn't dare to hide it, so he could only answer truthfully, saying that the potter took the initiative to let him go.

"Active release? Would that thief be so kind that he would take the initiative to let you go? Without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, Guan Yu asked rhetorically.

In fact, since the moment Sun Qian entered the account, Guan Yu had doubts about his return, not only Guan Yu, but also Zhang Fei and Jian Yong and other civil and military officials.

Sun Qian hurriedly explained: "The pottery merchant wants to use the mouth of the dry to pass the word to the lord, as long as the lord agrees to let him lead the two counties of the East China Sea, he will take the initiative to retreat back to Tancheng, let the lord go to save Pi, and afterwards he will continue to serve the lord as the state pastor, so he will let me come back to convey his meaning." ”

The potter was afraid of Lu Bu, and he didn't want to damage his strength and let Lu Bu pick up the cheap.

Liu Bei quickly "saw through" the potter's intentions, and his suspicions about Sun Gan's return were solved.

"My lord, before my subordinates came back, I inadvertently spied on a very important matter, and I must report it to my lord." Sun Gan's expression suddenly became solemn.

What's important?

Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian suspiciously, nodded to him, and ordered him to continue.

Sun Qian didn't dare to speak out, but motioned to Liu Bei to retreat from the idle people on the left and right.

He was so mysterious and secretive, Liu Bei was even more suspicious, so he retreated his own soldiers on the left and right, leaving only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Jian Yong's three cronies' subordinates.

The idler had been retired, Sun Gan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lord, in fact, the matter of the pottery merchant's request for peace and withdrawal from the army is just a trick to cover up people's eyes, and the fact is that Mi Zhu has secretly colluded with him and is ready to rebel against the lord." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei changed color in shock.

Mi Zhu also has to be opposed!

This shocking news shocked Guan Yu and the others present.

Liu Bei was only shocked for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he was forcibly suppressed, and he was calm, and his face was as gloomy as iron.

If Sun Gan told him a few days ago that Mi Zhu wanted to rebel, he would never believe it, but now Lu Bu and the pottery merchants have rebelled one after another, the people of Xuzhou are in turmoil, the situation is complicated and unclear, and his position as the state pastor is unstable.

"Go on." Liu Beitie blushed and gestured to Sun Gan.

Sun Qian then told Liu Bei how he pretended to be drunk when he was in the potter's tent that day, how he secretly overheard the conversation between the potter and the Mi family's messenger, how the Mi family deliberately delayed the grain and grass, and how the potter agreed that Mi Zhu would meet in Cangting two days later.

Sun Qian's words, Liu Bei heard them word by word, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Damn, no wonder Mi Zhu dragged left and right, the grain and grass were not delivered a few days late, it turned out that he had secretly taken refuge in the little thief of the pottery merchant, I knew that there was no business and no traitor, and Mi Zhu, the profiteer, was unreliable." Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei scolded in annoyance.

Guan Yu also stroked his beautiful hair, and snorted coldly, "Merchants are businessmen after all, mercenary, opportunistic is their nature, now that Mi Zhu sees that the pottery merchant is full-fledged, and the brother is in an unfavorable situation, it is not uncommon to fall to that kid, not to mention that his Mi family and the surname Tao have already had a marriage contract, the foolish brother is now beginning to doubt, that the pottery merchant can often defeat the strong with the weak, maybe there will be a Mi family secretly helping." ”

Liu Bei, whose face was pale, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard his brother's words, and he got up and paced, the expression on his face was suspicious, and he was faintly angry.

"Listening to General Guan say this, I remembered a rumor, I heard that the Mi family brothers and sisters personally went to Haixi to withdraw their marriage, but the marriage was not withdrawn, but they gave the potter three million money, which happened to become the capital of that kid to recruit troops and buy horses." Jian Yong also added oil and vinegar from the side.

Anyway, at this time, anything that the Mi family did before about the potters may become evidence that the Mi family has long been anti-will.

"Alas......"

Liu Bei, who was originally angry, suddenly let out a long sigh, and that sigh was full of helplessness and grievances.

"I, Liu Bei, have always been sincere, treat Mi Zhu with sincerity, and trust him very much, but I didn't expect him to betray me, which makes me embarrassed, it's really heartbreaking......"

Liu Bei beat his chest with both hands as he spoke, looking like his heart was aching, and a few tears of grievance were soaked in the corners of his eyes.

"The lord is kind and benevolent, it is the Mi Zhu treacherous, there is only one word in his eyes, such a courtier does not want it, it will save it from causing greater disasters in the future, and now that he has shown his true face, it is just right to get rid of him and the potter." Sun Qian said with relief from the side.

Liu Bei sighed again, "Right now, Mizhu is in rebellion, the grain and grass are cut off, there are only three days of food left in the army, and the army's morale will be chaotic if it doesn't last a few days, don't say that you will get rid of the traitors, I'm afraid it will be ...... to recapture Xuzhou."

Liu Bei shook his head again and again, unable to bear to continue.

The second general Guan Zhang, although he was also indignant, had nothing to do.

The corners of Sun Gan's mouth hooked up a cold smirk, "Don't worry, don't worry, isn't the pottery merchant going to Cangting to meet Mi Zhu in two days, let's seize this opportunity and send a light army all the way to Cangting, kill the pottery merchant in one fell swoop, and kill the king first." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei's helpless face was shocked, and a glimmer of light immediately flashed in his sunken eyes.

Guan Yu also Danfeng's eyes widened, "Gongyou's words are reasonable, this is a good opportunity given by God to get rid of the thief, as long as the pottery thief dies, his army will collapse, we can wave the army to Pi, and destroy Lu Bu with internal and external cooperation, and then the rebellion can be easily quelled, and Xuzhou is still the eldest brother." ”

Liu Bei had straightened his waist at this time, the look of grievance on his face dissipated, and he regained his heroism.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Liu Bei slapped the case, and shouted with murderous intent: "Yun Chang, I will order you to lead five hundred elite soldiers, bypass the enemy's defense line, and march to Cangting, be sure to kill the traitor of the pottery merchant in one fell swoop, and bring his head to meet me!" ”

"Foolish brother obeys!" Guan Yu suddenly accepted the order, and the murderous murder of revenge suddenly burned.

Sun Gan also bowed his hand and said angrily: "Lord, that potter is cruel and has tortured Qian, and I can be said to have been tortured under his hands. Qian, please go with General Guan to kill the traitor, which can be regarded as letting Qian breathe out a bad breath, and ask the lord for permission. ”

"Okay, I'll grant what you ask, and you and Yun Chang will go together to kill the potter's traitor." Liu Bei readily agreed.

That night, Guan Yu and Sun Qian, taking advantage of the cover of night, led 500 elite soldiers to leave the camp and went straight to Cangting, dozens of miles away.

……

At night, the Tao army camped.

Just a few miles away, when Guan Yu led the army to quietly dispatch, the side gate of the Tao army's camp was slowly opened.

The potter drove his horse and held his sword, and slowly walked out of the camp gate, followed by Fan Hao and Lian Po, two generals, and then three hundred iron horsemen.

"Husband, be careful when you go." Hua Mulan stood by the camp gate, her expression full of care.

The potter smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, with General Lian and Fan Hao to follow, it will be fine, and I will wait for me to come back in the camp with peace of mind." ”

As he spoke, the potter had set his horse out of the camp.

Fan Xu, who followed closely behind him, patted his chest while gnawing on the leg of mutton: "Although the master mother puts a hundred hearts, my old Fan is here, and the lord is indispensable for a hair." ”

"You'd better do what you say, and if he has a little bit of a difference, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs when he comes back." Mulan glared at him with a fierce face.

Fan Xu shuddered, his face was afraid, where did he dare to say more, and hurriedly turned his horse and followed out.

The five hundred iron horsemen walked away silently, and soon disappeared into the night
