Yuan Shao's envoy asked the potter to hand over Tian Feng, which actually seemed quite simple, but in fact it was difficult.

First of all, it is to take care of the world's wind reviews.

Prince Taiping, the Taifu of the first emperor period, the Yingjie who abolished the three princes and placed the prime minister, after accepting Tian Feng for a few days, he obediently handed Tian Feng back to Yuan Shao?

How many things does this have to do?

If this is spread out, the court set up by the potters will have no prestige.

Wouldn't the princes be even more reluctant to sell the face of the potter?

This is a matter related to the majesty of the imperial court and the state, and it must not be done!

In addition, even the potter's subordinates are also polishing a pair of bright moves, watching how the potter deals with this matter.

How can a master who can't even protect a descender be able to protect them the next day?

The courtiers should naturally be loyal to the master, but the master should also show due courage and responsibility to protect his cronies.

Therefore, in any way, the potters must not back down.

When the envoy threatened the potters to ask for Tian Feng on the grounds of non-alignment, the potters stood up immediately and said to him righteously: "The husband has something to do and not to do, Tian Yuanhao was persecuted by Yuan Shao and his subordinates, and he came to me in poverty, if I hand him over, it will be unjust!" Yuan Shao killed Tian Yuanhao's family, the disaster is the relatives, it is really a beast's act, if Yuan Hao falls into his hands, he will be slaughtered, if I do this, it is unkind. ”

Speaking of this, the potter turned his head and looked around at the advisors and soldiers around him, and said, "The unkind and unrighteous lord, are you waiting for it?" ”

"Don't, don't!"

"Unkind and unjust, let me do such a filthy thing, will you agree?"

"No promise, no promise!"

"A gentleman is heavy-faced, if I give up Tian Yuanhao, I should not be able to name this gentleman, as a gentleman, do you want to be embarrassed?"

"Shameless, shameless......"

Everyone shouted almost, feeling a little wrong, and they all shut up.

Only Xu Chu, Zang Ba, Ji Ling and others were still shouting, but several generals around them slapped their arms with their elbows, and only after reacting energetically, did they shut up.

Tao Shang glared at Xu Chu, Ji Ling and the others fiercely, then turned his head to look at the messenger and said: "You see, go back and report to Yuan Shao, it's not that Tao doesn't want to agree to him, it's really the trend of the times, the people's desire, I can't go against everyone's will." ”

The envoy made a long gesture and said lightly to the potter: "The prime minister is really a rare gentleman in the world, living up to the name of the prince of the peace, and he admires it tightly, but there are some things that must not be rash, General Yuan had asked the prime minister to give a word to the prime minister before I came - don't think that with the city in Hebei, you can pass this winter steadily, some things are not as simple as you think, Prime Minister...... There is no harsh winter in the south, no thick clothes, no charcoal fire, but now that Prime Minister Tao Cheng's 100,000 troops are here, without these winter things, how can 100,000 horses do it? ”

The messenger's words immediately stunned the potter.

That seems to make sense......

But no matter what, at the moment, the potters can't be coaxed, and they have to earn enough face for the court.

He sneered and said to the messenger: "This matter does not have to worry about your family Yuan Gong, Tao has his own opinions on this matter, when I had a small number of soldiers, I was still able to lead the troops to Bingzhou to pacify the Baibo Army, at that time I also overcame the cold winter, and now there are soldiers and generals, why worry about these little things?" Don't worry too much. ”

After saying this, he only said that the messenger was full of shame, and then he went away in a daze.

After the envoy left, the generals laughed heartily and shouted—"Might! ”

But today's face-to-face contest gave his side great confidence, and the mood was uplifted and morale was high for a while.

Especially the generals led by Xu Chu and others who have followed the pottery merchant for a long time, all of them are happy and happy.

I didn't expect my own prime minister to be so domineering, and the weak appearance of a humble gentleman on weekdays was like two people, which was really admirable.

The potter sat lightly in his seat, muttering to himself: "It's too much to brag, the military heating in this Qingzhou land has been drained by Yuan Shao, and he will be taken back to Jizhou for unified deployment...... Isn't this a joke? ”

……

That night, the potter summoned Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi to his side and explained the matter to them.

Zhuge Liang didn't want to get through this matter, so he just swayed the feather fan without squeaking.

However, Sima Hui said to the pottery merchant: "Teacher, the material problem for the winter still needs to be solved in Hebei, and it is not difficult to make it, but it depends on how to do it...... We are all outsiders, and we don't know much about the situation in this place, how can we do it without disturbing the people? I have to let the locals in Hebei come up with an idea. ”

The potter understood the meaning of Sima Yi's words. This matter is indeed easy to solve, but the consequences are unimaginable.

The solution? Very simple! Forcibly expropriated from the local people!

The potters who can compete with the people for profit are not willing to do it, the water can carry the boat and the boat can be overturned, and they have reached the land of Qingzhou and occupied the two counties.

If you really want to do this, then you don't have to think about it, think about it with your toes, and the people of Qingzhou can't wait to let the surnamed Tao get out of here.

As for what Sima Yi said, there is no doubt that he is referring to Tian Feng.

The potter lost the opportunity to delay Yuan Shao even more because of Tian Feng, and the person who plugged this hole for the potter was naturally only Tian Feng.

The potter then went to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng has eased his mind a little now, and after listening to the pottery merchant's consultation, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "This matter is difficult to say, but it is also simple, dare to ask the prime minister, when the Baibo army was leveled, where did the winter materials come from?" ”

The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this, and said after a moment of silence: "Naturally, it is from the hands of the local scholars in Taiyuan, the Pingyi Ping clan, the Li clan of Yewang County, and the Sima clan of Wen County......"

When he said this, the potter suddenly patted his head and said, "What does Mr. Yuan Hao mean, can we still do the same thing?" ”

Tian Feng nodded and shook his head again.

"The things for the winter, naturally still have to fall on the heads of the local scholars, but it is different from the past, when the prime minister was under the command of 10,000 Xuzhou troops, and now the prime minister has 100,000 elites, plus thousands of war horses, the things needed are several times more than back then, and they are by no means able to bear by ordinary families, if you want to take out so many materials at once, you have to have a very thick family background."

The potter smiled: "Then Mr. Yuan Hao recommends one to me?" ”

Tian Feng said word by word: "Zhongshan's Zhen family can be in this position." ”
