"Cao Cao, this bastard, dared to make the potter the pastor of Xuzhou, only make me the Taishou of the East China Sea, and let Benhou be the subordinate of the potter, bastard!"

In the lobby, Lu Bu was scolding his mother and was furious.

The imperial envoy of Xu Zhi had just arrived, and issued a letter of appointment to Lu Bu for the Taishou of the East China Sea, and told him that the imperial court had been invited by the potters to make him the pastor of Xuzhou, hoping that Lü Bu could assist the potters and govern Xuzhou for the country and benefit one party.

Let the potter press on his head, even if it is only in name, it is naturally intolerable for Lu Bu.

"The lord is angry, this must be Cao Cao's trick, he hijacked the Son of Heaven to make such an appointment, obviously to provoke a war between us and the pottery merchants, Cao thief is good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and profit from it, as for who is the master of Xuzhou, it doesn't depend on the strength."

Chen Gong knew Cao Cao's old friend too well, and he saw through his conspiracy at a glance.

Lu Lingji stood up, her pretty face was full of arrogance and anger, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Even if it is Cao Cao's tricks, my father is the first warrior in the world, the hero of Zhu Dong, what is the pottery merchant, he is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can his father be pressed on his head." ”

As soon as the eldest lady instigated this, Cao Xing, Wei Xu and other generals under her command all shouted indignantly.

Chen Gong had to cough dryly, and persuaded: "The eldest lady doesn't have to be too angry, the so-called eldest husband can bend and stretch, but what's the big deal about being pressed by a potter in the official position, we didn't also rely on Liu Bei at the beginning, and now it's not turned over." ”

Lu Bu's face immediately sank, it was not a glorious thing for him to cling to Liu Bei, and Chen Gong didn't open which pot to mention, but it angered him.

Syllable!

Lu Bu slapped the case and said in a deep voice: "The previous potter's boy showed off his might in front of Ben Hou, Ben Hou has endured it, and now Ben Hou has sat firmly in half of Xuzhou, and the soldiers under his command have doubled, how can he be allowed to be powerful on Ben Hou's head, Ben Hou decided not to send troops to destroy the pottery merchants, all according to Xuzhou, so that everyone in the world knows who is the real master of Xuzhou." ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was going to war again, when Chen Gong wanted to persuade him, Chen Deng, who had been silent, took the lead and said: "The potter now has the will of the Son of Heaven, and he has become the rightful Xuzhou pastor, and the people of Xuzhou will naturally favor him. ”

Chen Deng grasped Lu Bu's thoughts, and when he heard this, he felt comfortable in his heart, and his face suddenly looked much better.

Although Chen Gong knew that Chen Deng's words were reasonable, in order to compete for the position of chief strategist, he had to oppose Chen Deng, his eyes rolled, and then he said: "Even if we want to go to war, the two counties we occupy will not have a good grain harvest this autumn, the grain and grass reserves are not as good as the potters, and the troops are not much superior to the potters, so we may not be sure of a complete victory." ”

"It is because our grain and grass reserves are not as good as the potters, so we have to start a war in advance, otherwise when the grain and grass are not good after winter, and then the potters will preemptively attack, the situation will be unfavorable to us, as for the advantage of troops, ......"

At this time, Chen Deng stroked his short beard, and a confident smirk appeared on his young face, "Deng has a clever plan here, even if the potter has to be outnumbered. ”

……

Tancheng, the state pastoral office.

Not long ago, this was only the Donghai County Administration, with the arrival of the imperial court envoys, the pottery merchants were officially appointed as Xuzhou Mu, then Tancheng was changed to the state government, and the county government also changed the plaque and changed to the state pastor's office.

Mi Zhu successfully completed his mission, and the potter appointed him as a governor as promised, and put him in charge of taxation.

Mi Zhu was entrusted with important tasks, and the rest of the old subordinates who followed the pottery merchant were naturally rewarded.

The position of driving in Xuzhou was assumed by the strategist Chen Ping, Lian Po, Fan Xu, Li Guang, Zang Ba, and Xu Sheng, who guarded the curtain, were all named the captain of the cavalry by the pottery merchants.

The generals of the ministry were promoted to make a fortune, and they were naturally very happy, and they congratulated the potters, and the potters also invited the generals to celebrate every once in a while.

But the pottery merchant's mind was still very clear, and he also learned that the imperial court named him the pastor of Xuzhou at the same time, and also named Lu Bu as the Taishou of the East China Sea, and he knew very well that this must be Cao Cao's desire to provoke Lu Bu and provoke a war between the two, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

How cunning Cao Cao was, the potter knew best, and he had expected that he would take the opportunity to mix sand in Xuzhou, and such an appointment was completely expected by him.

Even without Cao Cao's instigation, his war with Lü Bu was inevitable, as early as a few months ago, he was accumulating grain and grass, organizing soldiers, and intensively preparing for war.

Either he attacked Lu Bu first, or Lu Bu attacked him first, and Cao Cao's provocation was just a fuse.

Sure enough, within a few days, several pieces of information unfavorable to the potters were sent to the potters one after another by the fine works distributed in various places.

In the direction of Huainan, Yuan Shu's army was gathering to the north of Guangling, and there seemed to be signs of a northern attack on Xuzhou.

Not only in the direction of Huainan, Xu Sheng also sent an urgent report from the north of Langxi, and Yuan Xi was also secretly gathering the Yuan family's army in Qingzhou, and the direction of the assembly was located in the Gaomi area, and it was obvious that the Yuan family had signs of wanting to get involved in Langxi.

As for Xiapi, not to mention, intelligence shows that Lü Bu's army has been moving frequently recently, and a large amount of grain and grass has also been transferred to Xiapi, and the signs of his opponent are no more obvious.

It was expected that Lu Bu would do something to himself, but a series of information from Yuan Xi in the north and Yuan Shu in the south made the potter a little surprised, and he realized the severity of the situation.

The situation is already obvious, I don't know if it is Chen Gong or Chen Deng's strategy, all kinds of surrounding princes' actions, it must be Lu Bu's secret contact and jointly targeting himself.

Yuan Shu's army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Qingzhou Yuan Xi has 15,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 16,000 soldiers and horses held by Lu Bu, this time, he will face a siege of nearly 50,000 troops.

Although these 50,000 enemies had their own evil intentions, the absolute superiority in strength alone was enough to overwhelm the potter.

The potter realizes that he is facing an existential crisis.

He only has two counties, Lang Xie and Donghai, and there are only more than 15,000 soldiers and horses available in his hands, with such strength, it is difficult to fight against the three princes joining forces, nearly four times the enemy.

Soon, the news that the three-way army was about to besiege spread throughout the city.

The people of Tancheng were just immersed in the joy of their new master, who was named the pastor of Xuzhou, but in a blink of an eye, they fell into panic again.

"I heard that Yuan Ergongzi is going to attack Lang Xie from the north, Yuan Shu is also going to attack us from the south, and there is Lu Wenhou in the west, how can our Xinzhou Mu be able to stop the three-way army."

"This is not necessarily, wasn't Yuan Dagongzi and Liu Xuande also very powerful at the beginning, but they were defeated by our little Taozhou Mu."

"The current situation is different from the past, in the past, Xiao Taozhou Mu fought with one enemy alone, but now he has to fight against three enemies at the same time, and one is stronger than the other."

"That's right, I heard that there are as many as 50,000 enemies, especially that Wenhou Lu Bu, the first in the martial arts world, even Dong thief died in his hands, Tao Zhoumu is afraid that he can't even beat him this way, let alone three ways."

"It's over, if Xiao Taozhou Mu can't beat it, we will all suffer, I heard that Lu Bu's merge state army will kill people without blinking."

In the streets and alleys of Tancheng, rumors of a strong enemy are spreading, and the people of Tancheng, who have just established confidence in the potters, are also shaken.

Not only Tancheng, but also the two counties of Langxi and Donghai under his control, the magistrates also reported one after another, claiming that the people of the subordinate corporal were panicked.

"I didn't expect that Lu Bu would attract Yuan Xi and Yuan Shu to join forces to attack us, strong enemies are around, and the people who have not fought are already in turmoil, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." The veteran Lian Po also showed worry at this time.

How can the potter's heart be calm, but on the surface, the young face is as calm as water, without a trace of waves.

He knows that as the lord, under this kind of situation and crisis, everyone can panic, but he can't panic.

"What's there to panic about, no matter how difficult the situation is, we have dealt with it, now that the soldiers are well fed, what is there to be afraid of, I have my own plan to break the enemy, so you don't need to panic." In an uneasy atmosphere, the potter said calmly and calmly.

When everyone heard that the potter claimed that he had a means to destroy the enemy, his anxiety calmed down a little.

With his ruthlessness and self-confidence, the potters appeased the civil and military forces, causing them to retreat and prepare for battle.

Everyone retreated, but the potter left Chen Ping behind.

Bang!

The potter personally put a jar of unsealed good wine in front of Chen Ping, "Drunkard Chen, the good wine of the Gan family is here, drink it quickly, and after drinking, I will think of a way to break the enemy." ”

When Chen Ping saw the good wine, his eyes lit up, and he was full of slander, but when he heard the words behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
