In the potter's makeshift camp.

"Brother Xiansi, we haven't seen each other for a long time." In the camp, the potter saw Yuan Tan who was escorted back by Huang Xu. Smiled and stepped forward to grasp his hand, sincere greetings.

Listening to the potter's words, Yuan Tan couldn't help but have a sour nose, and he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, I heard him let out a long sigh and said, "This is the third time, the third time that I was captured by Brother Tao...... Alas, Brother Tao is not tired, I am still ashamed, you should kill me. ”

The potter pulled Yuan Tan to sit down, poured him a cup of water to quench his thirst, and frowned: "What is this that Brother Xiansi said?" What is not captured alive? Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and I don't want to say more about those big truths, but the friendship between you and me is like flesh and blood, and with this, I can't harm your life! Are you not a potter, but an unrighteous man? ”

As soon as the words "flesh and blood brothers" came out, Yuan Tan's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.

He sighed with emotion, and said in a bitter tone: "The real brothers of flesh and blood are full of calculations and incompatible with each other, and the biological father has to calculate in order to let his younger brother succeed to the throne...... On the contrary, it's you, the enemy, who calls me a brother of flesh and blood, and what happens in this world is really helpless and funny. ”

The potter patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are some things that are beyond the reach of manpower, or that sentence, as long as you Xiansi brother agrees, we brothers can gallop the world together!" ”

Yuan Tan clenched his fists, suddenly raised his head and said, "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang are not kind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust to them...... Brother Tao, oh no! Prime Minister Tao Cheng, if Yuan helps you pacify Hebei, are you willing to entitle me as the lord of Jizhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven? ”

"What do you mean, brother?"

Yuan Tan arched his hand and said: "From now on, the Yuan family will be the prime minister, and I, Yuan Tan, vow to become the head of the Yuan family, and also swear to become the lord of Jizhou, and get those things that should belong to me...... I only have this condition, and I don't know if the prime minister may agree. ”

The potter pondered quietly for a while, and said, "Brother really only needs Jizhou as a state?" ”

"Tan just wants to sit in Yechenger."

"Okay, then I promise you, after the matter is completed, I will go to the table of the Son of Heaven and play you as a former general, lead the Jizhou pastor, and entitle the Marquis of Ye."

Yuan Tan nodded heavily, thanking the potter for his kindness.

The potter looked at him suspiciously, and said, "It's just that I don't understand, what is it that makes you so annoyed by your biological father and younger brother right now?" ”

Yuan Tan also knew that the potter would inevitably ask about this, so he simply told him all the facts.

After listening to this, the pottery merchant sighed and said, "If I were my brother, I am afraid that I will definitely act like this." ”

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly, and did not answer the potter directly, he changed the topic and said: "Dare to ask the prime minister, since Yuan has now been subordinated to you, then how should I act next, and ask the prime minister for advice." ”

"There is a one-step method that can help my brother avenge immediately, and I can also achieve my long-cherished wish to pacify Jizhou, but I need my brother to make some sacrifices personally......"

Yuan Tan laughed and said: "It's easy to say that I have been in the army for many years, although I am not as advanced as the prime minister's means of using soldiers, but when it comes to rough skin and thick meat, I am afraid that the prime minister is not as good as me." ”

The potter smiled and nodded: "I can see it, when I look at my brother's face, I know that he is a person with rough skin and thick meat." ”

Yuan Tan blinked, and his heart always felt that something was wrong.

That feels...... How to say it, it seems to have been scolded by a potter.

Without further ado, the potter and Yuan Tan immediately finalized the details of the next plan, and then Yuan Tan immediately said goodbye to the potter and began to act.

Not long after Yuan Tan left the camp, a person walked in from outside the tent.

The person who came was Zhuge Liang, he prepared grain and grass for the potters some time ago, and this is also the one who just arrived at the potters recently.

He had the tacit approval of the potter and had been eavesdropping outside the tent.

Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Tan's departing figure, and slowly spoke: "Teacher, the student thinks that Yuan Tan is not credible. ”

The potter smiled and said: "Of course he can't be trusted, a person who doesn't even want his own father for the sake of status and territory, who else do you expect him to be sincere?" What Yuan Shang calculated him, Yuan Shao betrayed him, it was all the reason for his own rebellion, when I spoke to him at the right time, it was already revealed that Zhang was my person, but the firmness of his face and eyes remained the same, it can be seen that what he cares about is not Yuan Shao's trust at all, but the possibility of the lord of Jizhou in his hands, seeing that this position is getting farther and farther away from him, he finally can't bear it anymore and is ready to snatch it from his father. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said lightly: "Since the teacher knows this, why should he cooperate with him?" This person's heart is like a tiger and a wolf. ”

Tao Shang smiled and said: "It's a bit dangerous to cooperate with him, but he is a fox at most, and he is still the kind whose IQ is not particularly sufficient...... As for the tiger and the wolf, the metaphor has been a bit bad for these little animals. ”

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "In this way, the teacher is very confident in subduing Yuan Tan?" ”

The potter shook his head and said, "It's not that I have confidence in myself, but that the strength in my hands is not equal to that of him, and he is a person who is dissatisfied, although he always tries his best to restrain himself on the surface, but from time to time he always shows his fangs...... All I had to do was find his exposed teeth and pull them out hard, even if it was pinching him. ”

Zhuge Liang took a long look and said, "The teacher is far-sighted, and the disciple is deeply admired. ”

When he was young, he heard Zhuge Liang ask again: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have been decided, so when does the teacher plan to reinforce the rest of the villages?" ”

"Reinforcements?" The potter looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Each part of the work is clear, each does its own thing, why do you want to reinforce them?" The three armies were ordered to camp here for the time being...... Rest. ”

"Rest...... Resting? Zhuge Liang looked at him dumbfounded, and said after a while: "The current situation is very good, the teacher does not take advantage of the victory to enter the army and assist the friendly army to break the enemy, but does not move, what is the reason?" ”

The potter blinked his big watery eyes: "Because I'm lazy." ”

"Huh?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the potter fixedly, and really didn't know how to answer this question.

This reason is really underdrawn.

That's why he's my teacher.

If I were his teacher, I would have to cut him until his father didn't know him.

……

The two soldiers and horses of Tao Shang and Zhou Tai broke the big village of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang respectively, but at the same time, the main village of the Chinese army where Yuan Shao was located, there was a major crisis.

Yuan Shao has been unconscious since he was hit by the arrow ambushed by the Liyi faction, and occasionally woke up suddenly, but his consciousness was also vague and unclear.

At the moment when Yuan Shao was in a coma, Ko Yi attacked Yuan Shao's camp several times, but fortunately, Jiang Yiqu, Zhao Zhao, Zhang Nan and other generals fought hard to resist and blocked Ko Yi's offensive.

But if the Lord continues like this, the situation in the camp will be dangerous.
