The matter of the Central Plains was over, but the potters and others packed up their soldiers and horses, and then turned back to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was very interesting to the pottery merchants, he made his debut and allowed the pottery merchants and their entourage to pass directly through the territory of Yanzhou and return to Xuzhou, so this way, it saved a lot of time.

In the process of this campaign against Dong Zhuo, Cao Bao admired the potter's skills and adaptability from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Bao himself did not play much role in this campaign, but he followed the potter and observed his actions silently.

If the reason why Cao Bao wanted to give his daughter Cao Yuan to the potters was because the potters got Xu Zijiang's cross gold review and the potter's contribution to the world last time he served for his father, then now, Cao Bao's attitude towards the potters has become his heartfelt recognition.

It's better to see than to hear, this kid's ability is indeed extraordinary, if Xuzhou is inherited by him in the future, its development may not be lost to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

The person who can live from the world's first fierce general, and the person who comes from the Chitu Horse Pit is not a good stubble in any state.

Although Cao Bao is also a member of the scholar clan, he is not as shrewd as Mi Zhu in essence, nor is he as ghostly as Chen Deng.

He is a soldier, and he also has the heartiness of a soldier in his bones, once he identifies a certain person, he will recognize him from the bottom of his heart, and he will not change under normal circumstances.

Such a person can really be called a dead eye.

The soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou army returned to the territory of Xuzhou, came to Jiuli Mountain, and in the rainstorm season, the heavy rain fell, and in desperation, the Xuzhou army had to postpone the march.

A group of soldiers and horses were in the woods near Jiuli Mountain, looking for a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and set up camp to take refuge from the rain.

Taking advantage of the rain to camp, the potter wanted to take a good rest, but he didn't expect Cao Bao to hold a large jar of wine and come to the potter to drink together.

Now that this guy is full of recognition of the potter in his heart, the next step is to further pull in his feelings.

In fact, the potter was very tired during this time, and if someone else asked her to drink, she might have been driven out directly.

But the other party is one of the leaders of the scholar clan in Xuzhou and the head of the army in Pengcheng, so he still has to give him some face.

After the sergeant served some food, the potter and Cao Bao began to drink and enjoy the feast.

Before this expedition, the pottery merchants had already issued a ban on alcohol in the army for Guo Jia's affairs, but the wine brought by Cao Bao was the wine sent by Tao Qian before the soldiers and horses entered Xuzhou, so in a sense, this is not a violation.

The dishes are okay, most of them are some wild vegetables, and there is a deer that Cao Bao Bai shot and hunted, and ordered the sergeant to cook some of it.

The wine is Pengcheng's local liquor weir xiongjiu, and the potter took a sip, but he still felt a little bland, and it was not quite right.

After a few drinks, the two began to greet each other endlessly.

There is a lot of nonsense between the officialdom of all dynasties, especially with people like Cao Bao, who have no background, basically can't talk about anything.

"Childe led the troops this time, and fought a big victory, even Dong Lao thief was ordered to fall in this battle, Childe's name shocked the world, after the leopard returned to Xuzhou this time, he had to admonish the envoy for anything, and let the envoy give the prince a great reward."

The potter replied absentmindedly: "Thanks to Cao Gong's wrong love, you can just watch it." ”

Cao Bao continued: "This time Cao Mou's view of the son's use of soldiers, it is really like divine help, Cao Mou's heart is very admired, to put it mildly, if it is replaced by Cao Mou's own soldiers, there will be no such great achievement, and when he returns to Pengcheng this time, Cao Mou wants to prepare some small gifts and send them to Jinling City for the prince, there is no other meaning, it is purely gratitude, and the son needs to be sure to accept it when the time comes." ”

The potter looked at the pouring rain outside the tent and was distracted: "Thanks to Cao Gong's love, you can just watch it." ”

Cao Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked again: "The marriage between the little girl Cao Yuan and the son, let's just put it on the agenda, and after returning to Pengcheng, Cao will send someone to send her directly to the prince's mansion, how about it?" ”

The potter was still absent-minded: "Thanks to General Cao's wrong love, you look at it ......"

Speaking of this, the potter suddenly woke up.

"What did you just say?"

Cao Bao didn't give him a chance at all, laughed, stood up, and bowed: "Thank you Gongzi, in this way, Cao Mou will prepare immediately when he returns to Xuzhou." ”

The muscles on the potter's face twitched: "You wait for ...... first"

Cao Bao looked up at him with a smile.

"What did you just say?"

Cao Bao said with a smile: "Cao said that after I go back, I will send the little girl to the mansion of the prince." ”

The potter was really in a hurry now.

"That's not going to work! Cao Gong, what are you doing sending your daughter to my house? ”

A sinister smile appeared on Cao Bao's face.

He glanced at the potter, revealing a look that you know and I understand: "The son is young and vigorous, and the little girl is in the budding years, what else can I do if I send him to your house?" ”

The potter was stunned when he heard this.

What a pre-existing ancient.

"Gong Cao, this matter has to be discussed again!"

Cao Bao was a little unhappy: "What is there to discuss, didn't you personally agree just now?" ”

A pile of black lines on the potter's head.

I didn't listen carefully to what you said just now, and it was a completely mechanical answer, so can it be regarded as a promise?

You're so irresponsible, aren't you?

"Gong Cao, this matter still needs to be judged again, Tao and the righteous daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family have a verbal marriage contract, and you recklessly sent your daughter here, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for Miss."

Cao Bao suddenly heard this, touched his beard and thought carefully, nodded and said, "Taiyuan Wang's ...... Well, Wang Situ...... Yes, it's a bit tricky. ”

Seeing that Cao Bao was frightened, the pottery merchant breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly: "Yes, the marriage of the younger generation is quite complicated and difficult to deal with, so Cao Gong should not make any more trouble for me......"

I didn't think about it, but Cao Bao changed his words and said with a grin: "It's okay! You should marry the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, then marry him, Cao doesn't mind my children being equal wives, and concubines are also made! ”

The potter was stunned.

This Nima ...... Be generous!

"Cao Gong is so affectionate to me, Tao is really grateful, but even if you let your daughter be a little ...... Does that have to happen after I marry my wife? There has to be a first-come-first-served one, and if you want to arrange a name, you have to ...... after marrying a wife."

The potter wanted to delay with Cao Bao for a while.

The problem Cao Bao is really not perfunctory.

Cao Bao suddenly clapped his hands when he heard this, and said, "Childe's words are very reasonable!" Yes, etiquette cannot be abolished, everything has a sequence...... But it doesn't matter, Cao will send the little girl to you first, and the two of you will make do with it first, as for the name, it won't matter if you delay it for three or five years. ”

The potter was completely convinced at once.

Such a big-hearted old man, he didn't have a place to find it with a lantern.

First send the girl to the house to sleep like a pole, the marriage certificate is not received, in short, the most important premise is - you have to sleep first!

Tetha is open.

You have to be generous to the ancient masters, and then look at the tricky and eccentric old men of later generations...... It's simply incomparable, Cao Bao's behavior should really be made into an educational documentary, and it should be popularized and solidified for future generations of old men.

Just when the two were arguing, Pei Qian came to the potter's tent in the heavy rain, and said to him: "Fujun, when the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army were inspecting outside the camp, they caught a spy, and their subordinates did not dare to arbitrarily judge, so I specially asked Fujun to deal with it." ”

"Spies?" The potter and Cao Bao were all looked at Pei Qian together.

Jiuli Mountain is already within the boundaries of Xuzhou, and the battle has already been fought, what kind of spies will there be at this moment?

However, for Pei Qian's loyalty, the potter still believes very much, the people he catches are generally not any problems, and Pei Qian is from a poor background, and he is well versed in the suffering of the people, so he generally will not deliberately wronged anyone.

He said that it was a spy, so it is estimated that it must be a spy.

"Bring the spies here." The potter instructed Pei Qiandao.

"No!"

When he was young, he saw Pei Qian bring in a middle-aged man wearing a hat and a robe.

When the potter saw this man at first glance, he felt a little familiar for some reason.

But the man had a hat, and his face was dirty, and the potter didn't recognize it for a while.

Before the potter asked, Cao Bao was a little out of business.

He stretched his arms and sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed the spy, and said angrily: "What Lao Tzu hates most in his life is you spies!" Sneaky, the most treacherous and treacherous! ”

The spy was a little panicked, and he waved his hand again and again: "Misunderstanding! A non-spy is also ......"

"you!"

Cao Bao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he viciously threw the spy to the ground, and then rode directly on the spy body.

Then I saw him clench his left hand into a fist, and slammed it hard, and it was an old punch that hit the spy in the face.

The spy only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fainted.

Cao Bao's subordinates showed no mercy, holding the spy with one hand, and squeezing him mercilessly with the other, until the man beat the crying father and called his mother, and the howl of "squeaky and screaming" did not stop.

Cao Bao enjoyed playing, and said while fighting: "I'll let you sneak!" I'll make you sneaky! I'll let you spy on the military! I'll keep you from doing good things! ”

The potter sat behind him, touching his smooth chin with one hand, frowning and pondering.

This spy voice is indeed familiar to good students.

Probably after a stick of incense, Cao Bao was beaten comfortably, got up and stretched hard, and then turned his head and smiled at the potter: "Childe, you can judge!" ”

The potter got up hesitantly and walked up to the beaten half-dead spy, looked at him carefully for a while, and said curiously: "Have I seen you somewhere?" ”

The spy lay on the ground, raised a hand weakly, and pointed first at the potter, and then at the top of his head.

The potter didn't understand it too much.

Seeing that the potter did not react, the spy reached out his hand tremblingly, dipped the beaten nosebleed, and drew two words with his hand on the sand inside the tent......

"Filial piety."

At this moment, the potter knew who this person was.

"Xu Gong!" The potter was taken aback, hurriedly leaned over and helped the spy up from the ground, and said anxiously: "You are Xu Jing under the tent of the former Yuzhou Assassin Kong Ling, Xu Gong!" Xu Gong, who is filial piety for the potter?! ”

The sinister and feeble man continued to write in the sand with his blood:

Yes, too!
