The potter's words were loaded with guns and sticks, and the meaning was obvious, asking Sheng Xian to hand over the authority in his hands.

"You're ......!"

Sheng Xian's face was a little green with anger, his hand was dotted on the potter's nose, and he was about to argue with him, but he saw Chen Deng next to the potter standing up with a smile.

Chen Deng looked like a peacemaker, and said to Sheng Xian: "Xiaozhang Gong is angry, my Tao Fujun didn't mean to do it on purpose, but he was anxious, Xiaozhang Gong must not be surprised, some things are not as simple as they seem." ”

The potter flicked his sleeves slightly, got up lightly, and walked out of the tent.

When they walked to Chen Deng's side, the two of them quietly exchanged glances, which meant a lot.

Sheng Xian, a party member and scholar literati, no matter how tough he is on the surface, he is actually just a soft bone like Kong Ling in his bones.

However, he obviously still has a little more face than Kong Ling, and cherishes his feathers.

Therefore, before arriving in Wu County to see Sheng Xian, the potter and Kong Ling had already discussed how to deal with this person.

The potter first bullied and bullied him head-on, suppressed and suppressed, and gave him something hard.

Then it was converted into Chen Deng, giving him some soft, generous speeches, saying that he was powerful, and used both soft and hard methods to coerce and lure Sheng Xian into submission.

This trick potter named it "Ice and Fire".

When Chen Deng's father Chen Qi was in Guangling, he had an old relationship with Sheng Xian, one of them was a party member in the southeast, and the other was a representative of the scholar clan, and they also had some chances with each other.

After the potter went out, only Sheng Xian and Chen Deng were in the tent.

Sheng Xian's face was indignant, and he pointed to the back of the potter leaving and said, "Yuanlong, look at what kind of attitude he has?!" Obviously, it was his surname Tao who took advantage of his strength to insert people into the civil strife in my Wu County, and now he is using the chaos to cover up the great crime of his subordinates, and on the contrary, he is framing me for causing trouble in Jiangnan, Sheng has done his best to govern Wu County, and he has become a sinner in his mouth? There is no reason for this! Yuanlong, if I don't say you, how can you assist this kind of person? In any case, Sheng Mou had to get a thorn from Master Shi and sue him! ”

Chen Deng smiled helplessly: "Sheng Gong, don't forget, Liu Tingshi of Yangzhou also lives in Jinling City now." ”

Sheng Xian was speechless when he heard this.

Chen Deng patted Sheng Xian's shoulder and persuaded: "Sheng Gong, in fact, I don't think you need to be angry with my family at all, although you are the head of a county in Wu County, but if there is chaos today, the heroes rise together, you are a literati, you don't like to fight, and cherish feathers, but how can such a character survive in the fierce battle among these many heroes?" ”

Sheng Xian's face softened slightly, and said, "Even if the world is in chaos, you have to be reasonable in everything!" ”

Chen Deng slowly guided him: "Now in the land south of the Yangtze River, there is Tao Fujun in Danyang County, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce in Huainan, sooner or later there will be another big war, how will Sheng Gong deal with himself at that time?" Sheng Gong said that everything is reasonable, but what is the truth? ”

Without waiting for Sheng Xian to reply to him, Chen Deng said again: "Today's matter, in fact, Sheng Gong can see that my family government has planted people in various counties of Wu County by the order of Liu Tingshi, even if Sheng Gong uses the Shanyue method to resolve it, my family government can also have a way to cover up the crime of taking merit for them, even Sheng Gong, you can't say anything, isn't this reasonable?" And now that Tao Fujun has entered Wu County, Deng can see that he is bound to win the twelve counties of Wu County, and Sheng Gong will not necessarily do any good if he blindly opposes him......

If the potter used a hard knife, then Chen Deng now uses a soft knife.

Although Sheng Xian is sitting on a county, he also knows the situation, but if he is allowed to hand over the authority of a county so easily, he is really a little reluctant.

Chen Deng's words made him sway from side to side.

"Yuanlong, this ...... I...... Sheng also knows that your words are indeed reasonable, but after all, I am the head of a county, so it is a bit too ...... to hand over the territory like this It's ......"

Chen Deng shook his head and said, "Sheng Gong, it's not Chen who said you, the eldest husband should know the facts, know how to advance and retreat, and hand over Wu Jun to the Taiping Prince, it's better than handing it over to Sun Ce or Yuan Shu, right?" Imagine how Yuan Shu and the Sun family treated Zhang Shi, Kong Ling, Wang Rui and others back then? No matter what, my family is also known as the Prince of Taiping, and the name of the gentleman's benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, you can imagine that these captains he sent to Wu County this time committed such a big thing, whether it is true or not, he will protect it, it is conceivable that he is a benevolent and righteous person, much stronger than Yuan Shu and the surname Sun...... There must be a number in Sheng Gong's heart. ”

Sheng Xian was silent for a while when he heard this, and finally sighed: "What Yuan Long said is reasonable, but what is the skill and strength of the Taiping Prince, I have only heard of it, I have never seen it, didn't he come to Wu County this time in the name of exterminating the Shanyue Qu Shuai?" If Tao Gongzi can get rid of Yan Baihu, then Sheng will be willing to give up Wu Jun and never break his word. ”

……

……

Chen Deng and the potter, one singing with a red face and the other with a white face, made Sheng Xian's little heart climax one after another, up and down, one after another.

In the end, Chen Yuanlong, with his patience and guidance, persuaded Sheng Xian to hand over the governance of Wu County.

After all, Sheng Xian is also a person who has been in the court for many years, and he knows that if he wants to live, he has no other choice at the moment.

Wu Jun will not give it to the potter, and there will still be people who will come to ask him for it in the future, and when the time comes, whether he can still hold his life in his own hands is still between the two words.

But even so, Sheng Xian still left himself a somewhat self-deceptive excuse - he hoped that the pottery merchants could carry out the handover of Wu County after they had defeated Yan Baihu, the commander of the Shanyue Canal.

That's his only condition.

After listening to Chen Deng's relay, the potter felt very strange.

"Sheng Xian, what the hell does this think? If he is willing to hand over Wu Jun, Tao will naturally not treat him lightly, but he has to come up with a crusade against Yan Baihu, although I also intend to clean up this fang, but this matter and he gave Wu Jun to me, it should not be in conflict, is there any inevitable relationship between these two things. ”

Listening to the potter's question, Chen Deng couldn't help laughing.

He persuaded Tao Shangdao: "It's really no wonder that Sheng Xian is in this matter, in fact, Deng can understand him a little, after all, he is a county guard in charge of the twelve cities, and if he says let it out, let it out, no one has a taste in his heart, Chen thinks about it, Sheng Xian is just giving himself a smooth transition, in addition, he also wants to take advantage of this incident to see the strength of the prince." ”

After a pause, Chen Deng said again: "Besides, let us threaten to hand over the city, and it won't sound good." ”

When the potter heard this, he understood a little, and the old guy still wanted to save face.

"Well, anyway, when I came to Wu County this time, the matter of the Shanyue Sect thief is also a matter to be done, and the left and right are here, so by the way, Yan Baihu will be leveled, and it can be regarded as removing a harm for the local people."

Chen Deng nodded with satisfaction and said: "It is the best for the prince to have such an idea, but before we crusade against Yan Baihu, we can prophetically meet Zhao Yu of Guangling County and tell him to respond at any time. ”

Chen Deng's strategy of employing troops has been recorded in history as early as the use of strange ability to look at the world, few people can compare, such an improvisable tactics, and the pottery merchant originally proposed the sound of attacking the west can be said to coincide.

"Good! Since this is the case, then attack Yan Baihu first, and then quickly turn around to capture the two counties of Pi. ”

Chen Deng suddenly said to Tao Shang: "Yan Baihu's 10,000 soldiers and horses, compared with Fu Jun, although it is not a worry, but if you want to get rid of him, I am afraid that there is still a difficulty." ”

Hearing this, the pottery merchant said curiously: "Yan Baihu is just a thief, and his subordinates are all thieves, if you want to get rid of him, what are the difficulties at all?" ”

Chen Deng sighed when he heard this: "Yan Baihu's generals are nothing to fear, the problem is that the strongholds of the Shanyue Sect thieves are generally not cities, and they are hiding in the mountains and forests of Wu County. Local counties and counties sometimes send troops to suppress the Shanyue sect thieves, but there are many mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River, there are no roads inside, thousands of miles deep, and it is generally difficult for unfamiliar people to find a path in it, if Yan Baihu is hidden in the deep mountains, if the army wants to suppress him, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
