After the New Year, Yu Erbi father and son, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others led the Jinling White Horse Army and a part of the crossbow battalion to prepare to set off, and they went to the Xiongnu royal court with them, as well as Sima Yi, the apprentice of the pottery merchant.

As for how to act when they arrived at the court of the Southern Xiongnu Dynasty, the pottery merchants were all handed over to Sima Yi.

He also told Sima Yi that he would also find them an alliance to answer, and let him do it.

Before leaving, the potter personally saw off several people in the gate of the camp.

The attendant brought the flask and the cup.

The potter poured a full bottle of wine and said to everyone: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone...... Ears and nose, go all the way! ”

The wine cup that reached the mouth immediately stopped moving.

He pondered carefully for a while, smashed it, smashed it, and smashed it, and always felt that something was a little wrong.

"Prime Minister, why do I think that your use of this word is a bit undesirable......" Yu asked with an embarrassed smile.

The potter said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it is a scene or not, the key is that heart, ears and nose, you must be careful this trip, and after the matter is completed, you will reply to me immediately." ”

Yu Ernose hurriedly nodded yes.

But in his heart, he was dismissive of the words of the potter.

Lao Tzu returned to the Southern Xiongnu royal court this time, that is, the eagle returned to the sky, and the tiger returned to the mountains and forests? Will you reply again to let you drive? You're dreaming!

After bidding farewell to the potter, the group slowly headed north.

The nomadic site under the court of the Southern Xiongnu is in the north of Youzhou, and Yuan Xi came to crusade against the pottery merchant to ask for Zhen Mi last time, and was disabled by the pottery merchant The soldiers and horses of the Youzhou headquarters, so there is no strength on the border of Youzhou that can compete with the Jinling army, if it were not for the next confrontation with Yuan Shao, the pottery merchant would have immediately led his troops north to Youzhou, therefore, the Yuan army in Youzhou could not stop the Jinling army from going to the north.

After sending Yu Erbi and the others away, the potter went to Zhen Mi and Yuan Wan's residence.

The relationship between Yuan Wan and Zhen Mi has grown by leaps and bounds, and for some reason, it is almost good enough to wear a pair of pants ......, no, a skirt.

When I came to the small courtyard, I saw the two daughters, but I saw that the two of them were fiddling with a pair of exquisite mahjong newly made from a small wooden board, and they were studying each other.

This is what the potter gave them to play with during the Chinese New Year.

After all, the two women can't go home, they stay on the front line with him every day, and they don't have much to do on weekdays, so they have to have some fun for them, right?

"The prime minister is here." As soon as he saw the potter, Zhen Mi showed a full smile: "It's just right to come, you taught us the leaf opera last time, and we have figured out some doorways." ”

The potter was surprised: "Really? ”

Yuan Wan said confidently: "Otherwise, how about the three of us come to a few rounds?" ”

The potter smiled and nodded: "It's not impossible, but since it's a game, you need to play some lottery, what are the two girls betting on me?" ”

Yuan Wan looked suspicious.

"Money?"

The potter shook his head.

Gambling is a vice, especially gambling with two beautiful women, it is too low-level, and this thing must not be promoted.

Or, what about taking off one piece at a time and losing one piece at a time?

The potter thought it was feasible, but he was afraid that the two girls would not be happy.

It seems that only the simplest bet can be made.

"Get ready to grind some ink, the one who wins, and draw a stroke on the face of the one who loses." The potter gave advice to the two.

Zhen Mi suddenly showed a happy look when she heard this.

"Drawing a brush on your face is something you've never heard of...... Let's give it a try. ”

Yuan Wan was not as happy as Zhen Mi, on the contrary, she glanced at the potter very worriedly.

After all, she knew the potter earlier than Zhen Mi, and her understanding of this man was deeper than Zhen Mi.

This man is not a loser.

……

"Ninety thousand!"

"Fork."

"Nijo!"

"Bump, mush."

The potter gently flipped the card over, so that Zhen Mi and Yuan Wan opposite him could see it clearly, and then picked up the pen and ink and stretched out to Zhen Mi first.

Zhen Mi's face has been drawn by the potter, and Yuan Wan's face is a little tiger.

After the potter sketched out for each of them, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's so cute." ”

The two girls have just come into contact with mahjong, do not know how to count cards, naturally more losses and less wins, the small animals on their faces have been formed, and the face of the potter, there are only two shallow ones.

Zhen Mi pushed the wooden card in front of him, pouted, and said, "Don't play, just draw us, you don't have anything on your own face." ”

The potter put down the pen lightly and said, "Then take a break, it just so happens that I have something I want to ask you." ”

Zhen Mi looked at the pottery merchant suspiciously, but saw the pottery merchant and said: "Over there in Youzhou, Xian Yufu under the command of Gongsun Zan in the past, do you know him?" ”

Zhen Mi's cherry mouth grew in surprise and could be stuffed with an apple.

She looked at the Tao Shang suspiciously, and said: "Xian Yu is also a county guard under the eyes of Xian Yu, and the little woman is just a businessman, how could Tao Jun think that he would have a relationship with our Zhen family?" ”

Tao Shang smiled slightly, and said: "It's not difficult to guess, when Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei killed Liu Yu, the Youzhou generals rebelled against him in order to protect Liu Yu's son Liu He, among them, led by Xian Yufu, and Wu Huan, Yuan Shao and others surrounded Gongsun Zhan, but afterwards, Yuan Shao recruited these Youzhou generals, but they refused to surrender, but moved to the border of Youzhou, becoming their own party, Yuan Shao was busy launching the battle of Guandu, and had no time to clean them up, so it was shelved until now......"

Zhen Mi didn't expect the potter to know so much about the affairs of Youzhou.

She looked at him with apricot eyes, and suddenly smiled, and her smile was enough to charm all beings...... The only fly in the ointment is that there is a Wang Ba on his right cheek who has not dried ink.

"Even so, how can they have a relationship with my Zhen family?"

The potter said lightly: "Although Xian Yufu and other old Youzhou troops have generals, they have no food supply, what support has he relied on to support him until now?" Eat? …… Looking at the entire four states of Hebei, except for Yuan Shao himself, only the two clans can do this. ”

Speaking of this, the pottery merchant paused and said: "First, it is the Gongsun family of Liaodong, and the second is your Zhongshan Zhen family...... Right? ”

Zhen Mi was both surprised and admired in her heart: "So you conclude that it was my Zhongshan Zhen family who did it?" ”

The potter nodded: "It's done so cleanly, I'm afraid that only the Zhen family has this business and ability." ”

Zhen Mi pondered for a while, and finally said: "The Zhen family did this, not for Xian Yufu, nor for any scheme, but Xian Yufu and Tian Yu and other Youzhou generals, and the person who is assisting at the moment is Liu He, the son of the late Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Liu Youzhou had a great favor to my Zhen family when he was alive, and this situation must be repaid." ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Mi looked at the pottery merchant and said, "You asked Xian Yufu and other Youzhou generals about it, shouldn't you want to murder them?" ”

The potter nodded and said with a smile: "Of course not, Xian Yufu and Tian Yu and others are all heroes, I want to subdue them on behalf of the imperial court, and ask them to help me subdue Youzhou, pacify Liaodong, and annex Xianbei." ”
