"Can you secretly hand over my letter to the potter?" In Fan's house, Liu Ping smiled faintly and looked at Fan Xian.

Liu Ping was keenly aware that although Xuzhou at this time tended to be calm on the surface, it was actually turbulent in private.

The entire city is like a huge powder keg, just a little spark can ignite and explode, and then Xuzhou will be at your fingertips.

"It's a person from the Mi Dong family in the next place, so Ping Gongzi is not afraid to leak secrets to the Mi Dong family in the next place?"

The corners of Fan Xian's mouth curled slightly, he was a good person, in fact, he had already guessed Liu Ping's intention since Liu Ping quietly sneaked into his house.

But he never expected that Liu Ping would send him to deliver the news.

They don't seem to be that familiar!

What's more, his master, Mi Zhu, is the person Liu Bei relies on.

"Okay Lao Fan, don't pretend," Liu Ping smiled even more, leisurely flicked the dust on his sleeves, and didn't look at him at all, "How can Xuzhou's every move be hidden from me?"

As soon as you came back from the grassland, your Mi Dong family became suspicious of you, right?

If it weren't for Mi Zhu's fancy that you could still make money for him, I'm afraid you would have been in prison by now, still pretending? ”

"It turns out that all this has long been in the calculation of Ping Gongzi, no wonder you were invited to Xu Du when so many people were invited in front of you.

After refusing, you still put it back," Fan Xian muttered with a dejected expression.

At the beginning of the grassland trip, Liu Ping took a fancy to Fan Xian's ability and wanted to use him for his own use, so he has always been courteous to Fan Xian, and later on the return trip, he invited Fan Xian to Xudu in public.

The 300 parts that followed were all sent by Mi Zhu, and after returning to Xuzhou, how could he not tell Mi Zhu about this?

Although Fan Xian refused Liu Ping's invitation, after all, the two had been together in the grassland for so long, and after coming back, Mi Zhu still became suspicious of Fan Xian, and almost arrested him as a spy who secretly communicated with Xu Du.

Fortunately, Fan Xian has made a lot of friends in Xuzhou for so many years, so Fan Xian scattered all his family wealth and found people to intercede with Mi Zhu in many ways, and Mi Zhu finally spared his life.

This matter is not a confidential matter, and naturally it can be explored by the Cao family.

Fan Xian thought about it at this time, all this seemed to be designed by Liu Ping, and since then it has been laid out, he can't help but feel scared of Liu Ping's mind.

"I'll send someone to go now," Fan Xian said helplessly, arched his hand, and went out to arrange.

"Master, will this person take a risk and report me to Mi Zhu," Zhang Liao looked at Fan Xian's back and groaned.

Liu Ping nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liao's caution, and said: "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, follow the people he sends, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Master, I'll go," Lu Qi stood up at this time, "I'm a woman, and I won't attract attention." ”

"I'm going to protect Miss Lu," Zhou Cang said.

Lu Qi's identity at this time is a maid, and Zhou Cang is dressed as a slave, these two people are walking on the road, and seeing that their identities are the slaves and maids of large families who come out to do things, naturally they will not arouse suspicion.

Liu Ping bowed his head and agreed.

Only an hour after the two left, Fan Xian led a young man to see Liu Ping, who was the potter.

Previously, Cao Bao went to see Mi Zhu with Liu Bei's edict, and Mi Zhu naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately released the potter.

After returning to Taofu, the two had a secret discussion.

Cao Bao saw through Liu Bei's intention to exclude dissidents, and sooner or later he would take action against his Danyang generals, rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to rise up and resist.

After this incident, the potters also felt hopeless about being powerless and powerless, and allowing others to knead them.

So the two hit it off and made up their minds to expel Liu Bei.

In fact, this matter is not very difficult to say, as long as there is a potter, the former eldest son of Danyang, to take the lead, and Cao Bao connects those suppressed middle and low-level generals of the Danyang army from the middle, then the Danyang family will definitely be able to obey their dispatch.

At this time, there were more than 30,000 soldiers in Xuzhou City, and Liu Bei's subordinates could only be called descendants, only 2,000 men and horses brought from the plains.

If the Danyang army rebels, even if the remaining 20,000 Xuzhou troops do not help, there is a high probability that they will choose to sit and watch, and there is absolutely no reason to help Liu Bei.

In the big war, the Danyang army was almost 100% sure of 10,000 to 2,000.

The only thing that worried the pottery merchant Cao Bao was that Xuzhou was after all conceded by Tao Qian to Liu Bei, and was recognized by the imperial court.

They were still discussing, and they were going to get an edict from the imperial court ordering them to rebel through Kong Rong's relationship, so that they could justify their name if they raised troops.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Ping came to invite the potter, and he was simply dozing off, and someone sent a pillow, which was just right.

"Ping Gongzi may be ordered by the imperial court?" The potter asked.

"What's so hard about that?" Liu Ping didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, he hadn't even opened his mouth, the other party was already ready to rebel, "You can start the arrangement now, I will send someone to return to Xudu day and night, and the edict will arrive within two days."

And I will play tomorrow and appoint Tao Gongzi as the pastor of Xuzhou. ”

The potter was overjoyed when he heard this, and in this way, he became the most powerful person in Xuzhou, and the surrounding hostile forces had been almost wiped out by the Cao family, and he was appointed by the imperial court at this time, which was far safer than his father's time.

"Thank you Liu Gong for your love, and I'll go back to discuss with General Cao Bao in the future."

"You must act confidentially," Liu Ping admonished, and when he saw the potter retreating, he frowned slightly and said, "Why haven't Lu Qi and Zhou Cang come back yet?" ”

It is said that even the potter has arrived, and the two of them have gone to follow them, and it is time to come back.

……

Let's say that Lu Tuesday will secretly follow the messenger sent by Fan Xian, but the person did not notice it in the slightest, and there was no interruption on the road, so he directly sent the letter to Taofu and returned the same way.

Seeing that there was no heresy, General Lu was also about to go back on an errand, but he didn't expect to see a group of cavalry galloping over from a distance on the road, and the leading general turned out to be Zhang Fei.

The two didn't dare to do much, and quickly pretended to be careless and turned into an alley.

Unexpectedly, the group of soldiers suddenly stopped.

"General, what do you command?" The soldier stepped forward and asked.

"If there is a suspicious person, follow me!" Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and chased after the alley.

Although he only vaguely saw Lu Qi's side face, he was too impressed by Lu Qi.

If Lu Qi hadn't stabbed him at the beginning, he wouldn't have been able to lose Pengcheng County, and Xuzhou wouldn't have opened its doors widely, as passive as it is now.

In order to be afraid of forgetting that face, Zhang Fei painted more than a dozen paintings according to the image in his memory, and used that painting as a target for daily archery practice, but he didn't expect that the figure of the person in the painting appeared on the streets of Xuzhou.

"Let's go," Lu Qi also realized that he might be recognized by Zhang Fei, and quickened his steps.

"Miss Lu, you're going in the wrong direction."

Zhou Cang was in a hurry, Fan Xian's grange was in the north, and they needed to go out of the north city gate, but the direction in which Lu Qi was traveling was to the south.

"Do you want to lead Zhang Fei to find the master?"

Lu Qi said resolutely as he walked: "Even if I am captured and killed, I must not reveal the master's position!" ”
