There is a kind of inertia in any ordinary person, that is, to stay in the comfort zone and not want or dare to make changes.

The potter is such an ordinary person, although he is no longer powerful, he still lives a prosperous life, and has no worries about food and clothing.

Let him take the initiative to rebel against Liu Bei with his head, it is impossible.

However, after being targeted by Liu Ping, the comfortable days of the potters came to an end.

What Liu Ping wants to do is to push the potters into a desperate situation, so that the potters will have to rebel if they don't rebel.

Of course, it is not enough to only force the potters, Liu Ping's ultimate goal is to implicate the Danyang army generals and force the Danyang army to oppose the Danyang army, so as to achieve the goal of taking Xuzhou without using Cao's army.

Now that the situation in Xuzhou City is suddenly rising, and the development of the situation is proceeding according to Liu Ping's plan, he thinks that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the feeling of secretly manipulating everything is still quite cool.

"Master, what kind of identity do you have, did you take some risks to go to Xuzhou in person?"

Zhang Liao is relatively stable and quite resourceful, and when he heard Liu Ping say that he wanted to go to Xuzhou in person, he immediately raised his doubts: "You can strategize and win thousands of miles away, if you have any orders, I will arrange it for you." ”

Liu Ping knew that he had good intentions, and smiled with satisfaction: "The situation in Xuzhou City is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to judge how far this fire will burn.

We must not only arch the fire, but also direct the fire so that it burns in the right direction.

So I waited in Xudu, only relying on the fine work to deliver the news, and then the daylily was cold, this Xuzhou, I had to go.

In fact, Lao Zhang, you don't have to worry too much, how many people in the world know me Liu Ping? ”

Nowadays, the name Liu Ping can be said to be famous all over the world, but there are very few people who really know what Liu Ping looks like, after all, there is no imaging technology in this era, and Liu Ping has no particularly eye-catching features.

Even if Zhang Liaotai, Shi Ci and the others still felt a little risky, they didn't dare to object to what Liu Ping decided.

Liu Ping gave an order, led his subordinates to the "Five Tiger Generals", dressed up in disguise, and went straight to Xuzhou.

There are more than 700 miles from Xudu to Xuzhou, and it is too peaceful along the way, until the next day when the sun is about to set, and it is dozens of miles away from Xuzhou City.

"I can't see it, this old Fan's family is quite rich, and there are so many fields, I'm afraid there are no less than two or three hundred acres."

Tai Shici sat on his horse and glanced at the surrounding farmland.

In the distance there is a small village, about seven or eight thatched cottages, guarding a huge grange.

They had already received a summons from Xizuo, this was Fan Xian's private estate.

No matter how bold Liu Ping was, he didn't dare to venture into Xuzhou City, in case he was exposed, he would be shut down and beaten by dogs, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to.

Fan Xianzhi's grange outside the city is the best place to stay, where there is a place to escape, and it is convenient to know every move in the city, without delaying him to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

And Fan Xian is a businessman who cares about his family, he has seen their force, so many of them are holding his family hostage, he will definitely not dare to take risks.

"Lao Fan is also one of the best shopkeepers under Mi Zhu, I don't know how much money he has made for the Mi family over the years, and it is not unusual to be able to buy such a big industry," Liu Ping said.

"Master, his manor is so big, there are naturally a lot of attendants in it, and many people have seen me and others when we go to the grassland, if we go like this, I am afraid that we will be recognized."

At this time, Zhang Liao reminded.

"It's still Lao Zhang's thoughtfulness," Liu Ping praised and dismounted: "Let's find a place to hide first, stay up until midnight and then go to see Lao Fan." ”

The six of them waited until late at night before they climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard by moonlight, and went directly to Fan Xian's bedroom.

Previously, Cao Cao appointed Liu Ping to be fully responsible for the affairs of Xuzhou, so all Cao's detailed works in Xuzhou were transferred by Liu Ping.

Under Liu Ping's arrangement, they had already bought off the servants of Fan's house and drew a graphic layout of the rooms in the house, so they effortlessly found the bedroom where Fan Xian lived.

Tai Shi Ci took out a dagger, skillfully picked up the bolt of the door, and crept in......

Fan Xian, who was sleeping soundly on the couch in the room, felt as if someone had come in in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing straight in front of the collapse......

"Oops, ......"

Fan Xian was frightened, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he said in a trembling voice: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life, don't kill me, I have money......"

Then a woman screamed from inside.

"Old Fan, don't shout, it's me!" Tai Shici hurriedly stepped forward to cover Fan Xian's mouth, and at the same time shook the fire fold and shone it on his face.

"Daci, oh no, General Taishi?"

Fan Xian hurriedly stopped the woman next to him from screaming, and said with surprise on his face: "Why are you here?" ”

"I miss you," Tai Shi Ci blinked and smiled, "so come and hang out." ”

If he hadn't seen Tai Shici's martial arts, Fan Xian really wanted to smack him in the face, why did you visit the door like this?

When I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, there was a person standing upright on the side of the couch, who could stand it?

"You're coming alone?" Fan Xiancai didn't believe that this product was idle and boring, so he came to visit the door.

"We're all here," at this time, Liu Ping also walked in with a smile.

"Ping Gongzi?"

Fan Xian hurriedly got up to give a salute, he never expected Liu Ping's identity to come to visit late at night.

Eventually, Mrs. Fan's cries attracted the nursery, but Fan Xian drove them all out......

"I don't know what the Ping Gongzi came to late at night, what are the orders?" Fan Xiandao.

"Oh, I just want to know, what's going on in Xuzhou City now?" Liu Ping asked casually.

They have been on the road for the past two days, and they have not been able to receive a report from the detailed work.

Besides, he also wanted to test Fan Xian if he was telling the truth.

"Ping Gongzi is asking about the arrest of Tao Gongzi and the scholars," Fan Xian was very smart, and naturally could guess what Liu Ping wanted to ask, he said: "This matter has been settled." ”

"Settled?" Liu Ping almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this.

He tried his best to arch the fire for a long time, and he hoped that it could burn to the Danyang general, but the fire did not burn, and it actually subsided?

"Tomorrow you will go and meet someone for me......"

……

Two days ago, the news of the pottery merchant's arrest immediately spread back to Taofu.

When Mrs. Taoshang heard that her husband had been arrested, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and immediately sent someone to Mi Zhu to ask for someone.

As a result, Mi Zhu didn't pay attention to the people they sent at all.

When Tao Qian was alive, although he was engaged in Mi Zhu, in fact, Tao Qian did not trust Mi Zhu, and Tao Qian relied on him the most in Danyang.

In fact, in this era, if foreign princes want to rule a place, they will either rely on the local wealthy clans completely like Liu Biao, or they will be like Sun Ce, killing and bloody suppression.

Tao Qian's approach is both, that is, encircling and guarding, coupled with suppression from time to time, so Mi Zhu has a deep hatred for the Tao Danyang forces.

Seeing that Mi Zhu didn't buy it, the potter's wife had no choice but to send someone to beg Cao Bao, who was good to the potter at that time, hoping that Cao Bao could help find a way to rescue the potter......
