The pottery merchant surrendered Zang Ba, defeated the Yuan army, captured Yuan Tan alive, and made great achievements in Xuzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He used a big victory to deeply shock the people of Xuzhou again, and added a heavy weight to their hearts.

It was not only Xuzhou that was shaken, the news soon spread throughout Qingzhou, and then to Jizhou.

Hebei shook.

The dignified prince of Yuan Shao, with 20,000 male soldiers in his hands, assisted by generals such as Wen Chou, went south with the power of the new Qingzhou, but he was defeated and captured.

And the one who captured him alive was not a famous person in the world, but just Tao Qian's penniless son.

The name of the Yuan family was hit hard by the unknown potter.

With such an incredible record, how can it not shake the people of the two states.

The news came back to Yecheng, which caused the capital of Jizhou to fall into an uproar.

"The eldest prince's army of 20,000 was defeated by the thousands of soldiers and horses of that Tao, this is too incredible."

"I heard that the potter Tao Qian's son, Tao Qian passed the position of Xuzhou Mu to Liu Xuande because he was incompetent, and now it seems that this potter does not look incompetent at all."

"I heard that Yuan Gong has always disliked the eldest son, so he will be released in Qingzhou, and only take the third prince with him, this time the eldest prince will lose to an unknown person, I am afraid that he will lose his power even more in front of Yuan Gong."

"Yuan Gong just won the battle, and before he had time to celebrate, the eldest prince suffered a defeat and was captured by others, which is really embarrassing."

……

In the streets and alleys of Yecheng, everyone is talking about this war with a huge disparity in strength, but the result is unexpected.

Almost overnight, the originally unfamiliar name of the potter became a household name.

The discussion of the pottery merchants by the people of Yecheng actually overshadowed Yuan Shao, who had just won, and became the focus of discussions after tea and dinner, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people.

Two days later, Yuan Shao's class returned to Yecheng.

Just ten days ago, Yuan Shao had just defeated the headache of the Montenegrin army, and at the same time received the news that the old troops of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, who was killed by Gongsun Zhan, raised their banners and rebelled one after another, and Yuan Shao was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Gongsun Chan again in the north.

Just when Yuan Shao was full of ambition, he unexpectedly received an amazing battle report of the defeat of Qingzhou and the capture of his eldest son Yuan Tan.

For this reason, Yuan Shao had to temporarily postpone the plan to use troops in the north and hurried back to Yecheng.

General's Palace, main hall.

Yuan Shao sat upright, looking down at the latest situation in his hand, his joy and anger were invisible, and he couldn't see the emotions in his heart.

In the hall, those civil ministers and military generals talked a lot.

Hebei scholars who supported the third prince Yuan Shang's faction naturally blamed Yuan Tan for underestimating the enemy, being defeated and captured, destroying the overall situation, and insulting the Yuan family.

Guo Tu and other Ruying scholars who supported Yuan Tan tried their best to exonerate Yuan Tan, and even did not hesitate to blame Yuan Tan's defeat and capture on the incompetence of Wen Chou Gao Ran and other generals.

The two factions argued, and even quarreled, but Yuan Shao didn't say a word and let them quarrel.

It seems that he is deliberately condoning the hostility between the two factions.

After arguing for a long time, Yuan Shao threw the silk book in his hand on the desk and coughed lightly.

In the lobby, all the staff immediately shut up, and suddenly Yaqi was silent.

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Xiansi was defeated in the hands of a nobody, and he was defeated and captured, which is really insulting to my Yuan family's prestige, and he deserves to suffer this." ā€

In Yuan Shao's words, the meaning of blame is already obvious.

The judges and other Hebei scholars were all secretly proud, and most of them looked like they were watching jokes.

"However, no matter how much he makes mistakes, he is also my Yuan Shao's son, how can I sit idly by." Yuan Shao suddenly changed his words, "I have decided to personally lead the army to Qingzhou to rescue Xiansi while Gongsun Chan has no time to look south." ā€

The originally lost Ruying scholars, hearing Yuan Shao's words, were all in high spirits.

"Lord, at the moment of civil strife in Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan's backyard is on fire, this is exactly when we launched a large-scale northern expedition and destroyed Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop, such a God-given opportunity, how can the lord ignore the overall situation, but go to Qingzhou instead."

Even the people of Yuan Shang's faction knew that Yuan Shao had always cared about flesh and blood affection the most, and when he heard that Yuan Shao was going to save Yuan Tan, no one dared to persuade him, only Tian Feng stood up against it.

When the words fell, Yuan Shao's face immediately sank, and he said unhappily: "Even if Xiansi is not, it is also my Yuan Shao's blood and flesh, if I ignore his life and death, wouldn't I be like a beast." ā€

"But my lord, the overall situation ......"

"No more talk!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand, drank Tian Feng, who wanted to persuade again, and said with a resolute face: "I have made up my mind, save Xiansi first, and then go north to destroy Gongsun Zhan, so decided, I will lead the army to set off tomorrow." ā€

Tian Feng was helpless, and he could only sigh secretly.

The army rested for one night, and the next day, Yuan Shao led an army of 20,000 and rushed to Qingzhou day and night.

……

North of Gumu City, Daying.

"Husband, this is all our meticulous work, the information sent from Qingzhou, Jizhou, take a look." Hua Mulan held a pile of silk books and walked into the big tent excitedly.

"Madam, you read it, I'll listen, come, sit here and read it." The potter looked up at her with a smile and patted his thigh.

Hua Mulan's face was slightly dizzy, she glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's not serious again, this is the big tent of the Chinese army." ā€

"This is called husband and wife fun, and there are no outsiders, what are you ashamed of." The potter smiled and reached out to pull Mulan into his arms.

Although Mulan complained, her body was still half-pushed and half-refused and pulled over by him, and sat on his lap.

She had no choice but to press down her shame, complain to the potter a few words, open the information of the sealed silk letter, and read it to him one by one.

Listening to the secret report, the potter's eyes were as calm as water, but his heart gradually waved, and his eyes unconsciously flashed a little youthful and frivolous pride.

He has a lot of eyeliners not only in Xuzhou, but also in Jizhou, and keeps an eye on the situation in various parts of the world at any time.

The information that Mulan read out can be summed up in four words:

The world was shocked.

Tao Shang, the waste son of Tao Qian, who was once nameless, is now famous all over the world with the "feat" of capturing the eldest son of the Yuan family, making those who don't know him hear his prestige for the first time, and those who despise him are impressed by him.

This is exactly what the potter wants to see.

Fame, in this troubled world, is also an extremely important capital.

"Now that everyone in the world knows your prestige, I don't think anyone dares to underestimate my husband anymore." Hua Mulan looked at the information, and couldn't help but feel deeply proud of the potter, and her cold face was full of happy smiles.

The happiness and pride of his wife made the potter feel a strong sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, Qingzhou is in a hurry." At this moment, Xu Sheng's expression was solemn and he hurriedly walked into the big tent.

As soon as he entered the account, he happened to bump into Mulan sitting on the potter's lap, and the intimacy of the husband and wife, he was immediately embarrassed, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at it again.

Mulan's face turned red, and she got up from the potter's lap and glanced at the potter in embarrassment.

The potter looked calm, smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "If there is anything urgent, let's say it." ā€

Xu Sheng coughed a few times, and Fang arched his hand and said: "Qingzhou has made an urgent report, Yuan Shao has personally led 20,000 troops into Beihai Kingdom, and he will arrive in Gaomi within three days." ā€

Yuan Shao's pro-unified army is coming!

This news was really shocking, and Hua Mulan was also shocked, the look of shame on her face disappeared immediately, and her eyes were filled with surprise.

The potter was unmoved, as if he had expected it, and only sneered: "I have heard that Yuan Shao is a loving father and loves his son the most, and it really deserves his reputation, very good, then I will be the famous Yuan Benchu for a while." ā€
