The people of the Xuzhou envoy group obviously had a good impression of Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu personally came forward and invited Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou to help fight against Cao Cao.

Listening to the grievances and hatred between Xuzhou and Cao Cao, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and said with a little emotion: "Cao Mengde is also a hero, when he discussed Dong Zhuo with him and Tao Gongzi, he saw that Cao Gongnai was a well-understood and righteous person, and he was by no means a narrow-minded person...... Don't rest assured, after you arrive in Xuzhou, you should move him with the old feelings, persuade him to withdraw from the army, and the two parties should not fight, and the Han room will be the same. ”

When the pottery merchant heard Liu Bei's words, his mind moved slightly, and he thought about it.

The pottery merchant consulted Liu Bei: "Then according to Xuande Gong's intentions, if you go to Xuzhou with us, you actually don't plan to use force with Cao Cao?" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "They are all colleagues and old friends who fought against Dong Zhuo together back then, and of course they should focus on persuasion and peace." ”

The Tao merchant showed a warm smile and shook his head: "Tao is just afraid that Xuan Degong is not good at persuading others. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was slightly puzzled.

He saw that the pottery merchant seemed to have doubts about himself, and then said: "Listening to the meaning of Tao Gongzi's words, don't you still want to teach someone Liu?" ”

Tao Shang smiled and said: "It's really not a good test, Tao just wants to see how far Xuande Gong's ability has grown over the years, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, the battle of Xuzhou is dangerous, if Xuande Gong's skills are not good, Tao is embarrassed to let the old man wade into this troubled water." ”

Liu Bei's cultivation is really excellent, and the pottery merchant is not in a hurry, but he just maintains his warm and modest attitude, and replied: "Haha, Tao Gongzi thinks about Zhou Xiang, this matter is also ...... Since Brother Xian intends to test me, then it's time to prepare. ”

Regarding the ability of the pottery merchants, Liu Bei had already learned something in the alliance army.

This kid has learned a lot of things in his chest, and he is full of resourcefulness, and he seems to be able to pinch and calculate, and there are many times when he can see the future that ordinary people can't see.

Liu Bei has been remembering this skill of the potter for several years, and he saw that the potter wanted to test himself at the moment, but in his heart, he estimated that the potter seemed to have expected something that he had not seen.

The pottery merchant was not in a hurry to say something, but quipped: "Since it is a bet, then our brothers will set a bet, if Xuande Gong loses, what can be paid to Tao?" ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "Haha, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the virtuous brother, although Bei dominates the land, but he is a poor country, and he really doesn't have any money to gamble on the virtuous brother!" ”

The potter said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Xuande Gong, gamble!" Just play! Tao definitely can't let his brother lose money...... In this way, if my brother loses, then you need to obey Tao's command, what I let you do, how about you, how about it? ”

This means that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not here, if the two of them are here, they will have to be pulled out by the potters with a big-eared scraper.

What kind of character is our brother? That's a bit of royal relatives!

Have you heard of the Han family?

Actually let the royal family listen to your dispatch? You're tired of being crooked, aren't you! Underkill!

The potter thinks that his mind is very stable.

According to his idea, he first used gambling methods to trick Liu Bei, so that he lost the bet and obeyed his command.

At that time, he will not let him go to Xuzhou in the name of command, presumably Liu Bei will not go to Xuzhou with a dead face.

Liu Bei was light-hearted, very carefree, and said with a smile: "Gongzi defeated Yuan Shu in the Wet Whisker Dock, and hit Lu Bu heavily in Shouyang Mountain, which is famous all over the world, even if there is no such gambling contract, it is not an exaggeration to listen to your command, and it should be Er." ”

Liu Bei's humble tone and sincere smile made the potter almost addicted to it in an instant.

At the right moment, the potter's mind unexpectedly had an impulse to hand over the military power of Jinling City and go to the field to be Liu Bei's junior brother......

There is no other reason than to be able to stay with this warm person.

When he came to his senses, the potter was sweating profusely and terrified.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, sighing and frightened in his heart.

Liu Bei's ...... I haven't seen you for three years, and this charm value has become a little rebellious!

Even the traverser can charm!

Not to mention Mi Zhu, Kong Rong and other voters!

The potter didn't dare to look at Liu Bei's eyes again, it was really too seductive.

The potter lowered his head, turned his gaze away, and said, "Xuande Gongshi said that he would go to Xuzhou to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw in the future...... Then at this moment, why don't you take the Yellow Turban thieves in Beihai County to practice first? It just happened to help Kong Beihai solve the disaster. Didn't Zhang Rao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, occupy Zhuxu County and threaten the safety of Beihai County? If Xuande Gong can persuade Zhang Rao to hand over the county seat and retire to go back, then Tao will believe in your ability, and this bet can be regarded as Xuande Gong's win, how about it? ”

When these words came out, Mi Zhu was a little unhappy when he listened to them.

Mi Zhu stood up and persuaded: "The eldest prince, the yellow turban thief, burning, killing and looting, do all kinds of evil!" They have coveted the city of Beihai County for a long time, how can they be able to withdraw their troops with one or two sentences? Besides, how can you gamble on such a child's play with the big event of rescuing Xuzhou? ”

The potter turned his head and glanced at Mi Zhu without leaving a trace.

Old boy, who the hell are you with? Fell to Liu Bei's side so quickly?

Liu Bei is obviously not as shallow as Mi Zhu thought, through the unknown understanding of the pottery merchant's ability to calculate, Liu Bei felt that the pottery merchant's gamble must have deep meaning.

On the contrary, he was very attentive to the words of the potter!

saw Liu Bei smile warmly, nodded and said proudly: "Okay!" Just do what Childe says! In the coming day, he led the troops to Zhuxu County, first tried to persuade Zhang Rao, if not, it was not too late to fight! Tao Gongzi's bet, prepare to take it! ”

Seeing Liu Bei so cooperative, the potter was also a little confused.

This guy didn't even say what bet he wanted to make if he won, and just took the bet...... Isn't that a bit too benevolent?

After Liu Bei left, Guo Jia secretly pulled the potter to his side and said in a low voice: "What kind of strange idea are you playing?" Liu Bei is not a living immortal, the county seat that the Yellow Turban Thief finally conquered, why did he give up when he asked the Yellow Turban Thief to give up? ”

"I also know that the Yellow Turban Thief will not give up Zhuxu County, I just used this method to bet on Liu Bei." The potter showed a contemplative look on his face, and said in a low voice: "When he wins the bet, I will be qualified not to let him go to Xuzhou." ”

Guo Jia didn't know why, and said strangely: "Why are you so resistant to letting Liu Bei go to Xuzhou?" …… Guo Mou looks at Liu Bei as a very good person, gentle and heroic, and very benevolent, listening to him really has a feeling of spring breeze...... Alas, if it hadn't fallen into the hands of your thieves back then, Guo would have taken the initiative to ask Ying to be his staff. ”

The potter glanced at Guo Jia deeply and said lightly: "This is why I don't want Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou." ”

Guo Jia: "? ”

……

……

A few days later, a major event completely subverted the three views of the potter.

The potter still underestimated Liu Bei's charm too much.

Imagine, under the whole world, who can dominate the world for more than ten years with a floating body, but in the case of a sizeless place, he can make a group of subordinates follow him, never give up, and willingly smear his liver and brains, so that the whole world dare not despise it.

Such a heroic man, looking at the long history of more than 2,000 years AD, how many people can do it?

Only Liu Bei also.

In the early morning of this day, the potter had just gotten up, and before he could wash up, he saw Tao Ying and Guo Jia coming to him in a hurry.

"Big brother, something is wrong!"

As soon as Tao Ying entered the house, he yelled at the pottery merchant, almost scaring his brother to death.

The potter looked at the two suspiciously.

I saw that Tao Ying was very anxious, and Guo Jia looked helpless.

"What's wrong?" The potter wondered.

Tao said earnestly: "Big brother, Liu Bei is back from Zhuxu County!" ”

The potter raised his eyebrows, and for some reason, there was an inexplicable nervousness in his heart.

"Didn't he really let Zhang Rao withdraw from the army and return to the county seat?"

Tao Ying shook his head vigorously and said, "That's not true." ”

"That's good." The potter let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the table on the table, and took a long sip of water.

Guo Jia said slowly: "He persuaded the yellow turban thief Zhang Rao directly to surrender!" ”

"Poof——!

The potter squirted out a mouthful of water.

I'll go!

Liu Bei's ...... What to play?

Looking at the potter's look of disbelief, Guo Jia took a deep breath and nodded in admittion: "I finally know why you are so wary and careful of this Liu Bei...... This guy is really not an ordinary person! looks easy-going and easy to talk, but in fact, he can do things that ordinary people can't...... I can't say, he is even more terrible than Cao Cao! ”

"Liu Bei, what about the others!" The potter hurriedly asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed: "Outside the city gate, take the yellow scarf and Zhang Rao to ask Kong Rong for the guilt." ”

The potter grabbed the robe from the clothes rack and ran straight out the door.

……

……

When the pottery merchants and others came to the outside of Yingling City, a group of officials from Beihai County, led by Kong Rong, were accepting a petition for mercy from the Yellow Turban Army led by Qu Shuai Zhang Rao.

Kong Rong is at this moment, how cool and cool is in his heart.

For many years, I have been bullied by these Yellow Turban Qu Marshals in Beihai - especially this Zhang Rao!

He repeatedly clashed with the soldiers and horses under Kong Rong's command, and the soldiers under the rule of Yingling City couldn't even have dirty pants left!

I really can't imagine that he will also kneel in front of him and submit to softness one day!

"What a thief, you have today!" Kong Rong pointed to Qu Shuai Zhang Rao, who was kneeling on one knee, and scolded him righteously: "When you bullied Kong someone, what did you think? ”

The yellow turban Qu Shuai Zhang Rao was shirtless, imitating the ancient way of Lian Po apologizing to Lin Xiangru, carrying the thorn strip on his back, kneeling on one knee, and admitting his mistake to Kong Rong with a handful of snot and tears.

"Confucius-kun, the original thing! It's really me who is wrong! A certain unreasonable, repeatedly against Kong Beihai's officers and soldiers, attacking the county town and killing the people is still complacent, if it weren't for Xuande Gongxiao to be righteous, Rao is still alive as if he was in a dream! Before I knew Xuande Gong, a certain family lived in vain in this life! I didn't mean anything else when I came to Kong Beihai to ask for guilt this time, that is, I gave up this body of flesh and let Kong Beihai kill and cook! No matter what Beihai does with me, a certain family will never complain! ”

The potter was sweating as he listened.

This Zhang Qushuai is really not reserved at all when he speaks!

What does it mean that before you know Xuande Gong, you are living in vain?

Liu Bei, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into him?

Even though Kong Rong gritted his teeth against Zhang Rao, but now that this person has been persuaded by Liu Bei to surrender, he can't do too much no matter what...... He can't really just pull Zhang Rao into the city to cook.

There are some things that can be talked about on the face and just get addicted.

Liu Bei still had that warm smile and acted as a peacemaker for the two parties: "Zhang Rao didn't know the reason and fell into the mud by mistake, but this time he changed his ways, and he was willing to take the responsibility of supervision and take care of him under his command, and he will not disturb Kong Fujun in the future." ”

The old god Kong Rong said: "This fang is fierce and stubborn, and I will have to rely on Xuande Gong to discipline him in the future." ”

Liu Bei nodded, suddenly turned his head to look at the potter, and then showed a smile that was both kind and grateful.

"Tao Gongzi! Thank you, thank you! ”

The potter rubbed his temples with his hand helplessly: "Xuande Gong, what a good means." ”

Liu Bei said very humbly: "It's just a coincidence, hey! I knew that the bet between Childe and Bei must have a deep meaning! This is good, Zhang Rao Guishun did not say, but also let Bei add thousands of soldiers and generals in vain, if it wasn't for Gongzi's deliberate help, how could Bei be able to achieve this great achievement? ”

Liu Bei's feelings were inspired from the bottom of his heart, but when the potter heard it in his ears, it was like scolding.

The potter turned his head to look at the shirtless Zhang Rao, and said strangely: "Xuande Gong, it's inconvenient for you to tell me, what kind of earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods did you tell him, so that a ferocious and bloodthirsty and hopeless yellow turban head can turn back?" ”

Liu Bei frowned, thought seriously for a while, and then said, "Actually, Bei didn't say anything to him...... I just smiled at him. ”

The potters were stunned when they heard this.

He looked at Liu Bei vigorously, as if trying to find traces of lying on his face.

But Liu Bei just smiled at the potter, and the smile was so warm that it could almost melt the potter's heart.

The potter turned his head away and looked at him no more.

What a bug this must be, just by smiling can conquer talents.

Liu Bei, a real talent!
