Yuan Wan snorted and left.

She has always been conceited to be a wise woman among women, but she was actually poked in the heart by the potter's words in a few words, and she was also set out of the thoughts in her chest.

In fact, this is also reasonable, although Yuan Wan is smart, she is still far behind the potter.

The potter has been dealing with the top treacherous and cunning people in the world all the year round, and his experience in this area is better than Yuan Wan, and Yuan Wan is like a bronze king compared to him, and he can't even form a team.

Yuan Wan's plan to get an axe failed, so she naturally didn't want to continue to be embarrassed in front of the potter, so she got up and said goodbye.

The potter smiled and watched her leave, and after her figure disappeared, he shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Wan is very smart and beautiful, if she guessed correctly, she is one of the concubines of Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Wu in history.

Such a woman will take the initiative to send it to the door? The potter didn't think that she would really like herself, and if she liked it, she had to take the initiative to dedicate herself...... Her family is ruined, who will get rid of the haze in such a short time to pursue happiness?

If so, how big is this man's heart? It's so big that you can pull out a big snack.

There must be something going on here.

Yuan Wan took the initiative to find her motives, and they were not even as clean and transparent as Mrs. Feng's motives.

It's not that the potter can't accept him, it's just that he doesn't like to be taken advantage of, and neither can women.

……

After Zhang Xiu led his subordinates to Xuzhou, the potters immediately sent him and his soldiers and horses, including the fierce general Hu Che'er, to Zhao Yun's rule.

After taking over the power of Xuzhou from Tao Qian, the pottery merchants reorganized the few cavalry in Xuzhou and the Jinling cavalry.

The number of cavalry in the southeast is not much, compared with the north, far less, under the command of Tao Shang, the most elite at the moment is the Tiefutu directly led by Xu Huang and the Jinling White Horse Army that Zhao Yun is expanding.

Although Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry has a 'iron' character, it is essentially a light cavalry with spears and horses, and he is classified into Zhao Yun's white horse camp, and it is best for the two sides to learn from each other's strengths, of course, the horseshoe and double stirrups are naturally to be fully configured.

However, even so, the number of cavalry under the command of the pottery merchant is naturally not comparable to that of Yuan Shao, but in terms of combat power, the pottery merchant believes that his own variety of military tactics is not inferior to the northern cavalry.

In a blink of an eye, the time has reached the end of the year, and the sixth year of the potter's return is about to pass, and the time has also reached the current three years of Xingping, that is, the second year of Jian'an in history.

The potter has entered his seventh year since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is about to be twenty-four years old.

Time passed so fast, so fast that he himself didn't react.

In his seven-year career at the end of the Han Dynasty, he changed from the son of a prince who was like a "scum" in the eyes of others to a powerful overlord who sat in Southeast Xu and half of the two states of Yang, commanding 200,000 troops, and his advisors and generals did not lose to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

And the potter also knew in his heart that the seventh year when he traveled back to the end of the Han Dynasty may be the hardest year since he crossed back.

In this seventh year, he will face Yuan Shao, the first prince in the world, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, thousands of good generals, and countless grains, grasses and ordnance.

If you are not careful, the land of Xuzhou will be annexed by Yuan Shao.

At the end of the year, the pottery merchant sent people to replace Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi from the two western counties of Xuzhou and returned to Pengcheng.

The two boys managed the county for a year, and their political achievements were quite effective, and they dominated the land of a county, and their ability has also been significantly improved.

Now that they are about to face a huge strong enemy in the north, the potter believes that they should not continue to be released, but brought back to their side, and everyone huddles together to keep warm.

The communication between Xu Jing and Jiaozhou Shixie has also become smooth, and Zhantian rice seeds have been shipped to Jiangnan in large quantities and widely promoted for planting.

Lu Su and Sima Lang also led the Shanban battalion to collect and fight, collected and subdued a lot of Shanyue people, and reported successes again and again.

At the end of the year, he sent 400 Baiyue volunteers to the pottery merchants—that is, strong men who were willing to enlist in the army. As usual, the potters transferred them to the Shanban camp in Suzhou, and Lu Su took over the training on their behalf.

Just in winter, the weather was a little cold, on this day, the potter invited Yuan Tan to cook wine with him in the courtyard and talk.

It has been more than three months since Yuan Tan and Xiao Ji were captured, and during this time, the pottery merchant has been sending envoys carrying Yuan Tan's handwritten letter to Hebei to meet Yuan Shao, hoping that the other party will send someone to negotiate the terms of exchange.

But there has been no letter from Yuan Shao.

Based on this, Yuan Tan's anxious mood became colder and colder, and his heart was full of disappointment in his father.

It's not that he didn't suspect that the potters were cheating in this, but the potters had no motives, and for the Taiping Prince, it was most practical to exchange him, the son of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao for some benefits.

Second, every time the envoy of the pottery merchant came back, he described the terroir of Yecheng and the appearance and attitude of Yuan Shao of Hebei Province, but it was exactly the same...... This shows that the messenger did not lie to him, and he did go to Hebei.

All kinds of circumstances show that the potter really wants to talk to Yuan Shao.

But it's a pity that the current situation shows that Yuan Shao didn't take Yuan Tan seriously and refused to talk about it.

Yuan Tan was sad in his heart, and he didn't know why, he didn't understand why his father gave up on him so easily.

But the potter's heart is like a mirror.

He naturally knows the key to this, because this is what he planned.

Every time, the potter did send an envoy to Yecheng to discuss a major matter with Yuan Shao, but every time, before the envoy arrived in Yecheng, the potter would intentionally or unintentionally ask the envoy to find a way to contact Yecheng's trial.

Judging is Yuan Shang's iron, he knows the envoy's intention, which is equivalent to Yuan Shang knowing the envoy's intention.

Of course, Yuan Shang hoped that Yuan Tanke would die in another country, and it would be best not to leave any dead bones and slag.

As a result, the group headed by Yuan Shanghe and the trial match added fuel and vinegar to it, and made a stumbling block from it, and a group of civil servants repeatedly admonished them, on the surface, it was not a good opportunity to exchange prisoners with the potters, and the left and right potters did not dare to kill Yuan Tan Yunyun...... made Yuan Shao wonder about this matter and hesitated.

In addition, Xu You, who was appointed by Yuan Shao to be responsible for communicating with Xuzhou, was also inactive.

The Gainin potter secretly asked Mi Zhu to bribe Xu Yu through the Mi family's business name to let him delay the negotiation process on Yuan Shao's side.

Although Xu You is full of opportunities, he is a greedy man, and his work of collecting money and delaying it can be said to be in his arms.

Therefore, it became that Yuan Tan and Xiao Ji stayed in Pengcheng for several months, but the people of Hebei "ignored it".

Yuan Tan was disappointed and sad, and he even began to resent his family.

But during the period of Yuan Tan's capture, the potters did not relax their psychological offensive against them.

After Yuan Tan's injury was healed, the potter treated him like Cao Cao treated Guan Yu in the legend, with a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days, eating and wearing silk and satin, and the maids arranged everything thoughtfully, without any defects.

Xiao Ji was also a captive, and it was natural that he was touched, and the two of them were captured this time, just like a vacation, not only did they not suffer. I also gained a few pounds.

Today's winter wine is also a banquet for Yuan Tan by the potter Zhang Luo.

Both of them were wearing fur coats, boiling wine, eating fruits, and talking freely.

"Brother, seeing that autumn is about to begin, according to the time, you can be regarded as a hundred days up when you come to my Pengcheng, right?" The potter directly called Yuan Tan his brother, and the relationship seemed to be very close.

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It's been three months in the blink of an eye...... Hehe, in the past three months, Yuan has really been in a dream. ”

The potter raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What? Isn't my brother picking on the younger brother when he says this? Is the younger brother treating you badly? ”

Yuan Tan shook his head bitterly and said, "No...... It's not you I'm picking. ”

He didn't say anything, but the meaning of his words was clear...... He didn't pick the potter's fault, he picked his own family.

"Brother, why do you have to do this, don't talk to me, this is your home...... After getting along during this time, you and I can be regarded as familiar at first sight, if General Yuan really doesn't exchange benefits for you, before the end of the year, the younger brother will put you back. ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then instantly showed a happy look.

"Virtuous Brother...... No! Taifu promised to let me go? ”

The potter nodded and said, "Brother think about it carefully, now that you are in my territory, the future of advance and retreat is up to me, and I don't need to lie to you at all." ”

Yuan Tan nodded vigorously: "That's, that's." ”

When I was young, I heard Yuan Tan say again: "Then dare to ask Taifu, why do you treat me like this?" ”

Tao Shang said with a smile: "Because I feel that my brother is a true hero, and he is also the most qualified to inherit the foundation of General Yuan in the future...... A despicable villain like Yuan Shang has a heart like a snake and scorpion, can four people in a carriage make him kick down? It's just outrageous! If I let him be my opponent, I really don't deserve it! ”

Yuan Tan couldn't help but be moved when he saw the potter admit himself so much and belittle Yuan Shang.

This person is really my bosom friend.

But seeing Tao Shang smiled slightly: "But even if my brother goes back, when the next day we fight, the winner is still Tao!" I can promise you that I will never kill you, my brother, and I will only set up a seat for my brother in this Xuzhou place, and Brother Jinghou will be able to come here one day to live for a long time. ”

Yuan Tan was thrilled by the potter's words, and secretly said in his heart that this person is honest and does not deceive me!

Yuan Tan also said: "The next day, I will be based in Hebei, and I should also set up a seat for Tao Jun in Yecheng, and Jinghou Tao Jun will one day go to Yecheng to live for a long time...... Although they are enemies in this life, they will never harm each other. ”

The potter smiled and stretched out his finger and said to Yuan Tan: "Come, pull the hook." ”

Yuan Tan looked at the potter's little finger in a daze: "What does this mean?" ”

The potter smiled and said, "This is the most honest oath in the world, and all the gentlemen in the world make oaths in this way." ”

Yuan Tan suddenly realized, and then hooked up with the potter, and secretly reminded himself in his heart that he could read more books in the future, read good books, and don't make it impossible to make an oath between gentlemen who need to pull the hook.

While the two were talking, Pei Qian came to the outside of the pavilion.

The potter got up and walked over, but heard Pei Qian say in a low voice: "Taifu, Xu You, the envoy of Hebei, has arrived in Pengcheng and wants to see Taifu." ”
