After listening to Xun Yu's words, the advisors and generals in Cao's tent suddenly realized.

Yes, if the surname Tao is delayed in his own territory for one more day, then he will go up to the commander Cao Cao and down to the ordinary soldiers, and everyone in the main force of the three armies will have to keep a close eye on the actions of the Tao army, whether it is offensive or defensive, they must keep the whole army on alert and be ready to fight at any time.

But in this way, Cao Jun's military cantonment is equivalent to being abandoned and shelved.

Cao Cao's rule of the Yellow River south of the region, in the Yellow Turban Uprising belonged to the scourge and spoiled of the most tragic area, the southeast and northwest troops need to pass through them, and later the Qing, Xu Yellow Turban back and forth raiders must pass through, it can be said that it has experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, this vast land has also made a large decline in productivity, and Cao Cao became the lord of Yanzhou, dominated the Central Plains, for Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the most fundamental way to restore productivity is Tuntian, And Zaodi's Tuntian law includes the military tun and the people, the grain of the military tun, in its counties of the treasury income accounted for the largest number, now in the autumn busy storage of the critical moment, if delayed, then next year's Central Plains treasury grain will be abolished, then Cao Cao will have no time to send troops to the Quartet, can only hold on.

The problem is that Yuan Shao has not been destroyed, if he does not take the opportunity to send troops to Hebei after this defeat, how can he have this good opportunity in the future?

Cao Cao's angry toothache!

The surname Tao is so vicious!

I thought that I was going to calculate the potter this time, but I would have thought that this little bastard would seize the opportunity and calculate it for himself, Cao Cao's heart seemed to be dripping blood.

"So what now?" Cao Cao asked everyone with a calm face.

Xi Zhicai thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Now since the potter is holding such thoughts, then we don't have to be polite to him, Sikong Ke put a book on the potter, asked about his worship, and stated that his army Tunzha Yuzhou realm, not only affects the local county affairs, but also very disturbs the people, and the matter of Tuntian can not be delayed, Sikong can immediately raise troops, go south to the important Tuntian in Yuzhou to order the three armies to carry out the autumn first, divide the soldiers and horses into several units to deal with the autumn harvest and grain seeds, and can also be used as an excuse to set up camps, The army of potters is slowly surrounded in it, and it is faintly encircled! It's a win-win-win-win ”

Xun You heard the wonderful point next to him, clapped his hands excitedly, and praised: "Good plan!" In this way, it can not only solve the urgent autumn busy, but also form pressure on the pottery merchants, if they turn their faces in the future, they can also rely on the momentum of the encirclement to annihilate the pottery army! ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

Cao Cao nodded gloomily and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's do it according to the law of the drama public...... Another scout was sent to keep a close eye on the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses, and Cao wanted to see what the Tao kid was up to! This time he said that he was going to win him. ”

……

The potter's village.

Cao Cao's letter had been handed over to the potters, stating that the potters' soldiers and horses had been delayed in Yuzhou, which had too much impact on the local government affairs of Yuzhou, and that the people and counties did not dare to travel and trade at will because of the garrison of their soldiers.

And Cao Cao claimed that he would immediately drive troops to Tuntian, Yuzhou, to arrange the affairs of the autumn, he reminded the pottery merchants to restrain their generals, go where they should go, and don't go where they shouldn't, so as not to cause any friction and collision between the two sides, then everyone's faces will not look good.

The potter carefully read Cao Cao's letter, and then handed it to Guo Jia beside him.

Guo Jia took the letter, read it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "The action is really fast, it's really like a debt collector coming to the door." ”

The potter smiled lightly and said, "What are you afraid of?" The last thing Tao is afraid of in his life is creditors. ”

Guo Jia was surprised when he heard this: "Most people in the world are afraid of creditors like tigers, why are you not afraid?" ”

"Because I won't pay it back." The potter's crisp and resounding reply.

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this: "What if the creditor comes to collect the debt and forces you to pay it back?" ”

"Bianzhi."

"What if the creditor also uses strength?"

"I'm crushing."

Guo Jia suddenly realized: "True and reasonable, although the ancient sages are beyond reach, it is really a sincere gentleman......"

The potter ignored his sarcasm, pointed to the letter written by Cao Cao, and said: "The problem is that our current Cao creditor is obviously much higher than the average debt collector...... It's a good idea. ”

Guo Jia sighed and said, "This is clearly to force us to leave, if you don't go, hehe, I'm afraid you will be rude to us if you turn back." ”

The pottery merchant stood up and said slowly: "When we left the Guandu camp, we asked Zhao Yun, Li Tong, and Zang Ba to go back to Peiguo to open the way, and then let Xu Chu lead the troops to urge food, and now the soldiers and horses of the four of them should have gathered, and the next step is to see if they can quickly rob Li Dao and Guo Yan's horses......

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Attacking the east and the west, in fact, it stands to reason that Cao Cao should have found out, but your tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Yuzhou, and their behavior is too conspicuous, so that Cao Cao has no time to take care of other affairs, if we withdraw, I am afraid that Cao Cao will soon find out Zhao Yun's actions." ”

The potter smiled slightly and said, "So, I have to be a little more high-profile, so that Cao Cao can't take his eyes off it, and can't let Cao Cao be alert to our true intentions." ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard that the potter was going to raise his profile again.

"Now that Cao Cao's army is ready to encircle us, it is rare for us to guard the retreat now, how do you want to do it?"

The potter smiled and said: "Don't worry, this time I don't need soldiers and horses, but in a different way, and this matter will be more or less helpful to you." ”

Guo Jia was surprised when he heard this: "Helpful to me?" ”

……

A few days later, an old man from Yingchuan Yangzhai was secretly visited by Tai Shici and followed him to the military camp of the pottery merchant.

As soon as he saw this old man, Guo Jia was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

"Qu, Qu Gong? Y-How did you end up here? ”

This old man's surname is Qu, he is already quite old, and he looks like he is seventy years old, but when he saw him step forward, he looked at the potter and Guo Jia back and forth, and said, "You two, who is Guo Fengxiao?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly that although he hadn't seen him for several years, Guo didn't seem to have changed much...... Except that I don't drink anymore, I'm still so handsome, why can't Mr. Qu recognize me?

This old man is the founder of a private school in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and is also the main lecturer in that private school, Guo Jia went to this private school back then, and was taught by the old man surnamed Qu, and it is okay to say that he is Guo Jia's master.

"Qu Gong, down here is Guo Jia, your student! Back then, in your private study, Guo Langzi, who studied the annals of history with you and studied the books of sages for six years! ”

When Old Man Qu heard this, a few tears flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"When the general surnamed Taishi came to the school to invite the old man to see you, the old man still didn't believe it, and he didn't expect to see you this time! Okay, you Guo boy! ”

After saying that, I saw the old man Qu step forward and skip Guo Jia, grasp the potter's hand, and shake vigorously while staring at him carefully.

"Little prodigal! After all these years, you kid is out of luck! Although these old men are in Yangzhai, they have also heard that you have done great things under the Tao family in Xuzhou! ”

Guo Jia watched the teacher call his name by the potter, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff: "Qu Gong, am I here......"

"Alas! For so many years, every three months, we will receive the subsidy money sent by you...... In troubled times, people's lives are like mustard, the squires and scholars have gone to the official school, and the poor people can't eat enough, which one will come to study privately, if you don't send people to send money from time to time to help over the years, I'm afraid the old man will really not be able to do it......"

Guo Jia greeted: "Qu Gong! I'm here, you look back. ”

Old man Qu turned a deaf ear to Guo Jia's words, and still said to Tao Shang: "When you were studying privately, although the old man often beat your hand, but it was only because you behaved very abnormally, and there was no right behavior, the old man was afraid that you would take the wrong path, so he punished you a lot, but in fact, he was still very optimistic about you......

Guo Jia sadly put his face into the palm of his hand and stopped talking.

The potter was shaken by Principal Qu and trembled.

Facing the old man Qu who was chattering at him, the potter said helplessly: "This ...... Elder, do you know who Guo Jia is? ”

Principal Qu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said angrily to Tao Shang: "Guo Fengxiao, you kid is out of luck, but why did you forget to respect the teacher?" How do you talk to the old man! How could the old man not recognize you? The old man told you that your kid was burned to ashes, and the old man could pick you out at a glance! ”
