After listening to Fu Zhu's suggestion, Yuan Shao said while pondering: "Listening to the report of the scout, the pottery merchant is now personally sitting in Kaiyang City in Langya Kingdom, if Yuan wants to drag him down, who should be sent?" After all, the thief surnamed Tao is scheming, ordinary people go, and he can't hold him back, and he will give his life in vain and delay the big thing. ”

When Yuan Shao's words fell, he saw that among the following generals, a big man stood up, and said in a deep voice: "General, the last general is willing to go to Qingzhou to fight to the death with the pottery merchant thief, and also let the southern thief see the might of my northern army general!" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the fierce general who spoke was extremely tall, wide and strong, with a black face, ring-eyed lion nose, and a beard, just like a beast King Kong.

This is Yan Liang, the fierce general under Yuan Shao's account.

Yuan Shao was very fond of Yan Liang on weekdays, and he was also quite important, but now he saw that he was not afraid of the potter, and took the initiative to ask for help, and he was very satisfied, and then looked at the strategists present and asked for their opinions.

Unfortunately, most of the strategists were unresponsive.

Frustration and judgment shook their heads at the same time, implying that it was inappropriate for Yuan Shao to use this person.

Although Yan Liang bravely crowned the three armies, but his temperament was too rigid, and the potter's fighting array, it was extraordinary, and its master must be able to calm down, not to be provoked and tempted by him, no matter how the potter made cheap moves, he could stabilize if Mount Tai was the best.

Obviously, Yan Liang is not such a person.

Yuan Shao saw that both the trial and the frustration were opposed, so he didn't hurry to express his position, but just comforted: "General Yan is such a heroic hero, and he is a really fierce general!" He is worthy of being a general under my account! Be still, and make a decision after I have consulted with you. ”

Yan Liang saw that he took the initiative to ask for help, but Yuan Shao didn't let him go, he was quite ashamed, his black face suddenly turned red, and then he returned to class.

It's so disappointing.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the trial and said, "Zhengnan, who can do it?" ”

After glancing at the squad where the generals were standing, he suddenly smiled and said, "According to the next review, General Yuancai is the most suitable to take on this heavy responsibility. ”

The Yuan Cai mentioned in the mouth of the judge is the expression of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan.

Gao Gan was recommended by Yuan Shao to the Son of Heaven as the assassin of Bingzhou, and he has always been the garrison of Taiyuan, but this time he led the main force of Bingzhou to come to Yecheng to obey the dispatch.

As soon as he heard the trial and recommended himself, Gao Gan was a little shy, shook his head and waved his hand, and said: "Zhengnan Gong thinks too highly of me, and he is far from being Yuan Shang's opponent." ”

Although Gao Gan's words were so, the judge knew that he was modest, and among Yuan Shao's sons and nephews, Gao Gan was the most talented.

And he also has an advantage that ordinary people are far behind, that is, he is very stable.

He is steady sometimes, even a little excessive.

Let's just put it this way, Gao Gan's house is on fire now, he has to put on his clothes slowly, and then run out unhurriedly, and he may have to turn around and find something valuable in the room to carry halfway through.

The judge looked at Gao Gan's calm energy with great appreciation, and said: "Gao Fujun, don't worry, let you go this time, not to let you defeat the potter, as long as you can delay, he will be a great achievement." ”

Gao Gan smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He is not like Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and he is very aware of what he does.

He has heard a lot about the potter's ability over the years.

For such a capable person, even if it is not big, but if you want to drag him down, I am afraid that it is not so easy.

Gao Gan still wanted to be modest and shirk, but Yuan Shao spoke.

Yuan Shao pondered secretly for a while, he also felt that Gao Gan was the best candidate, he looked at the rest of the strategists, and saw that they had no objections, and then said: "Okay, Yuancai, then you will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and I will have 30,000 elites with you, you go to Qingzhou to preside over the overall situation, find a way to delay the pottery merchants, and deal with my middle road military horses in Jizhou, after the matter is completed, I will remember your first merit!" ”

Although Gao Gan didn't really want to confront the potters head-on, Yuan Shao's order had already been issued, and he had no choice, so he immediately took the order.

"I will do my best."

……

Yuan Shao's actions could not hide from the eyes of the Xuzhou School Office, and the news was soon transmitted back to Kaiyang City in Langya by his subordinates.

When the potter learned the information, he immediately called everyone to discuss.

After Guo Jia heard the news, he immediately said: "It seems that Yuan Shao is determined to gather a large army to go south this time, he knows that we are gathering people in Langya to attack Qingzhou, so he did the opposite, and simply sent a partial general, leading a heavy army to completely drag our army here, and then his army is in the western front to attack the ferry crossings everywhere, and the rear is constantly gathering grain, grass, ordnance, soldiers and horses, just when the time is ripe, the army will enter and take Henan in one fell swoop." ”

Speaking of this, he saw Guo Jiachang sigh and continued: "If Henan is lost, Xuzhou cannot be guaranteed, and we must support Cao Cao now." ”

Hearing this, the potter frowned and said, "Gao Gan's troops are not weak, if we go to support Cao Cao, what should we do on the side of Langya Kingdom?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Gao Gan is a person who understands the art of war, and he acts extremely steadily, I don't know how much stronger than Yuan Shao's three sons, and now I have to find out this person's strength and tactics before making a decision." ”

The potter turned his head and shouted, "Let Mi Fang and Zhao Yun come over." ”

When he was young, he saw Mi Fang and Zhao Yun come to the front of the pottery merchant.

The Tao merchant instructed the two of them: "The soldiers and horses of the high cadres are currently stationed in Qidi, confronting Kaiyang City in my Langya Kingdom, and Tao intends to test his strength...... The two of you, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go over together, and have a small battle with the senior cadre, test his ability and ability, and remember not to fall in love with the war. ”

Zhao Yun nodded yes.

When Mi Fang heard this, she was so frightened that both legs suddenly became weak.

"Tai, Taifu! Zhao Yun is okay, how to let the last general go with him? The last general has been absent from the battle for many years. ”

The potter took a deep breath and said, "Brother Mi, don't be so unproductive, okay?" You are one of the earliest generals who followed Tao back then, you look at your colleagues back then, whether it was Xu Chu, Xu Rongyi or Xu Huang, now they can be on their own, but you are the only one, compared with the year, you still haven't grown so much...... Can't you see that Tao is specifically going to promote you this time? ”

Mi Fang said tremblingly: "The last general will thank Taifu for his promotion, and the last general can also see Taifu's kindness to the last general...... However, that Gao Gan is a history of merging states, and there are many generals under his command, and the last general is only afraid that he is not his opponent, which will disappoint Taifu. ”

"It's okay, isn't there still Zhao Yun with you? You just take care of it, with Zhao Yun here, you will never be hurt in the slightest. ”

"But ......"

Mi Fang still wanted to explain, but the potter showed a dangerous smile: "Brother Mi, if you are verbose again, believe it or not, I will chop you up with Gao Gan first?" ”

Mi Fang didn't dare to say anything for a while.

This bastard is still as headstrong as he was back then.

Zhao Yun grabbed Mi Fang and said with a smile: "Brother Mi, let's go, there are clouds, you can rest assured." ”

Mi Fang smiled bitterly when she heard this: "General Zhao, remember to protect me." ”

……

In this way, the two led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Qidi.

As soon as Gao Gan's soldiers and horses arrived, the soldiers from the Langya country came to harass them.

Gao Gan was cautious, and he also wanted to see how much strength the Xuzhou army had, so he ordered the two military marquis under his command, Wu Xu and Cai Ze, to lead the troops out of the city to meet the battle.

The two generals went out of the city, and greeted Mi Fang and Zhao Yun from afar, shouting for a battle.

Zhao Yun didn't rush to make a move, but looked at Mi Fang with a smile and said: "General Mi, I heard that you are a veteran general under Taifu, and now the enemy generals are coming to invite you to fight, you might as well let Yun see how your skills are?" ”

Mi Fang was so frightened that she shrank her neck and shook her head desperately.

"I'm not a good person...... Let you, let you! ”

Seeing that Mi Fang was so uncompetitive, Zhao Yun was also helpless, so he immediately went out to fight the two military marquis of the Yuan army.

After the three drums, Zhao Yun had already taken the heads of the two military marquis and returned to the battle.

Seeing this, the soldiers and horses on both sides were all shocked and inexplicable.

Gao Gan saw it clearly from the city tower, he sighed, and said with emotion: "There are really many fierce generals in the pottery merchant army, who is this?" ”
