After listening to the words of the potter, whether it was Kong Ling or Xu Jing, they didn't understand it very well.

There is nothing wrong with this self-evaluation, the question is...... Isn't it too pedantic?

If the 'Yuedan Commentary' really evaluates the potter, the potter's name has spread, but it is not missing some urine......

Gentleman loyalty? In troubled times, it is easy to be bullied if you evaluate yourself so diligently and modestly.

"Virtuous nephew, I think it's better for you to think twice about this evaluation."

Kong Ling is not good at saying too much, after all, it is not a bad thing to be loyal and good, and it can even be said to be a spirit worthy of great respect, but there are some things that the upper echelons of the scholar clan can only understand in private and cannot speak.

finally got such a good opportunity to be able to comment on the last month, but the potter's evaluation of himself really made Kong Ling feel a little ...... What a waste.

The potter was stubborn, shook his head, and said firmly: "The little nephew is young and knowledgeable, and he hasn't done anything shocking, so don't rate yourself too highly, so as not to become the target of public criticism...... Two seniors, there are too many tigers and wolves in this world, and in the center of this whirlpool, the little nephew can not wave, I hope you can understand the hard work of the younger generations. ”

Kong Ling didn't react, Xu Jing somewhat understood......

All right! The way to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, this kid ...... It's really not simple, a true gentleman and loyal will definitely not be able to say such a thing.

Old Man Tao's son...... Today, it's really not a good stubble.

"That's fine." Xu Jing nodded, expressed his agreement with Tao Shang's point of view, and said: "Since this is Tao Gongzi's initiative to ask, then Xu will naturally have everything to do, just promise you." ”

The potter secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

In their current state, it is better to be more or less low-key, and the 'Yuedan Review' is a good thing, and it can be well-known all over the world on its list, and its effect is the same as the hype of large packaging companies in later generations.

But the people who are evaluated in the 'Yuedan Commentary' are still mixed with water after all, many people are not worthy of the name, because of the interests of the scholars and each other, they are on the list, just like Xu Jing's personal feelings as a pottery seller today, let him be on him, and he will not pull the shuttle at all at the critical moment - say that you are a talent, you are a talent, say that you are a waste, you are a waste, you can't think about it, quite domineering!

But the potters don't mind, this kind of thing is done in the dark, and there are times when there is such a thing. Everyone is showing righteousness and righteousness, for the country and the people, but who doesn't take the resources in their hands to find some cats, this is normal! It is just the most fundamental development phenomenon of human society.

The matter had been negotiated, and Kong Ling changed his words and said another thing to the potter.

"Virtuous nephew, today the old man got a letter from Yuan Shu, saying that he asked us to lead the light cavalry to the Sujube Alliance on a certain day, and he and Sun Jian also arrived on a certain day, and most of the soldiers and horses of the princes were temporarily stationed in place and stood by."

Speaking of this, the three people in the hall were silent for a while.

The princes have different aspirations, their hearts are not right, and they are currently showing a trend of dividing their troops to guard, on the surface they seem to be strong, pressing step by step, but in fact they are all waiting and seeing. Now that all the princes are gathered in sour jujubes, it must be that no one has entered the army so far, so they carried out the alliance ceremony and set a strategy to kill Dong in order to achieve after-effects.

The potter pondered in his heart and said: "This alliance must go, if you don't bring heavy troops, you won't bring heavy troops, and the light cavalry will go quickly, and all the princes will be sour dates, and there will be no major events in the first place...... Uncle Shi, Yuan Shu's words have come to this, then you and I don't have to hesitate, let's leave tomorrow...... Our strength is already weak, and if we go too late, it will be easy to settle down. ”

Kong Ling turned his head to look at Xu Jing, Xu Jing nodded and said: "Tao Gongzi's words are very good, Gongxu is okay for you to go, Yang Zhai is here, Xu will help you take care of everything." ”

*******************************

The next day, after the pottery merchant returned to the barracks, he arranged for Mi Fang to lead most of the men and horses to stay in the Yingchuan garrison, and he led Xu Chu, leading the cavalry of the Xuzhou army with 1,000 people, plus the cavalry of the Xu Chu clan and 500 Yellow Turban cavalry who surrendered.

The sour jujube is located in the north of Yanjin, replaced by modern times, and it is also in the territory of Henan Province, since the date when the princes met to fight against Dong Zhuo, the sour jujube has been Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai all the way, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and others are stationed here, and now other princes from all walks of life are coming in the starry night.

The potter and Kong Ling traveled day and night. When they arrived in two ways, the princes probably also arrived in the seventh or eighth way, and the potter and Kong Ling arrived not too early but not too late.

Although there were already a lot of people here at this time, the most important princes Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and others had not arrived, so everyone was just Chen Bing around Suozao County, dividing the land and guarding, waiting quietly.

Suozao County is under the common jurisdiction of Liu Dai and Chen Liutai, the assassins of Yanzhou, and Zhang Miao, so even if the princes from all walks of life come here, they do not cause trouble when they take care of the friendship of the alliance, but just place the barracks in a proper manner, which is quite a duty.

After arriving, the pottery merchant met Liu Dai and several other princes with Kong Ling, and everyone was only polite and polite, casually greeting a few things, and there was not much communication.

Especially for the pottery merchant, although he came to the alliance on behalf of his father Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, but after all, he was only a half-grown son with a weak crown, and he didn't even have a serious official position, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and several other princes didn't take him to heart, and casually consulted him a few words about Tao Qian's situation and then perfunctory, and the pottery merchant was also happy.

Liu Dai was the east, and he wanted to arrange a banquet for the princes who had already arrived in the evening, but the potter didn't want to have too much interaction with them, so he lied that he was not feeling well, and Liu Dai and the others didn't care much about him.

After returning to the military camp where he was stationed in the west of Suozao County, and arranging the arrangement, the potter had nothing to do, so he teamed up with Xu Chu to pretend to be a merchant and went to the neighborhood in Suozao County to take a look at the customs of this small county in the Central Plains.

Suozao County is not a big place, not as good as Xuzhou's governance of the merchants, lively and prosperous. On the contrary, it seems to be extremely withered, the main roads in the county have no bluestone, they are all dirt roads, five or six out of ten of the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road are closed, the street vendors are sparse and deserted, and the pedestrians are all in a hurry, panicked and looking forward, although it is not lifeless, but there is not much life.

At that time, this area was an important battlefield during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now the princes have placed their troops here, which obviously has a great influence on the people living here.

However, no matter how noisy the city is, there are dilapidated places, and no matter how delicious the food is, there are meat and vegetarian taboos, just like this sour jujube county, even if it seems dilapidated and withered because of the sequelae of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is still a county town after all, a place called the county seat, and it has its downtown area.

Walking to the east market of Suozao County, the potter and Xu Chu finally found that this is a relatively lively concentration of people in the county, people come and go, shouting and selling, peddlers and pawns, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going, which is finally paving a layer of vitality for this lifeless county.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......"

A loud gong shook the potter's eardrums.

The potter turned his head curiously, only to see that where the sound diverged, it was four shirtless men who were vigorously beating gongs and shouting to attract the flow of people.

The potter was surprised to see this - it was a showman!

"Fathers and neighbors, and stay here, listen to a certain word, we are hiding from the drought in our hometown, escaping here, passing through the treasure land today, there is no size of the thing, only to show off the skills, Bo Jun smiled, all the fathers and neighbors look at my brothers and other brothers have not eaten a full meal for a few days, stop and take a look, a happy picture! Make a show for my four brothers! Thank you here! ”

Such a beating and shouting really provoked a group of people to stop and watch...... There are many idlers in troubled times.

The potter and Xu Chu were also among the onlookers, and after seeing the four men beat the gong to attract the crowd, they put down the gong hammer in their hands and picked up the juggling tools next to them.

It is indeed a stone plate weighing 100 pounds, and the four men really have some strength, they stand at the four corners, and throw the stone plate diagonally like each other, and the stone plate is reversed back and forth, the speed is fast, but it is quite impressive.

The residents of Suozao County don't know whether life is too tasteless, or they are too miserable to be oppressed by this troubled world, just such a tattered program of four people spreading big stones, actually watching the people around them with joy, cheering loudly, cheering and cheering continuously, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave......

After the four of them passed the big stone plate back and forth for twenty rounds, they were tired and panting, and then put the big stone plate down.

The leader of the big man stood up, wiped the sweat like rain on his forehead, picked up the gong again, and beat it with a bang, and then began to nod and collect money from the surrounding villagers one by one, and the potters who watched shook their heads.

The level of this performance is inevitably too low, holding a broken stone plate and moving bricks for a few big rounds, and then closing to collect money? There are obviously some problems with professionalism, so it's strange to be able to collect money to fool the audience like this.

Sure enough, the gong swept around, and basically no one held the money field.

Most of the people shouted Huan when they watched it, and when they were about to pay the money, they scattered and came and went, looking left and right and busy doing their own things.

After a while, the man's gong was handed to the potter.

The potter pondered for a moment, then reached out and took out two five-baht coins and threw them inside.

The man was first overjoyed, and then looked up and down the potter's clothes, the potter did not wear armor, but came in plain clothes, but he was also wearing the best fabrics.

Seeing that his robe was not good, it should be very generous, the man smiled, licked his face and said, "This gentleman, give me more." ”

The potter couldn't help but be amused when he heard this.

This kid is really kicking his nose in the face, he doesn't want others to give money, how much more do he want if he gives money? It's really a cheap and easy to climb the bar.

The potter smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's not that I'm reluctant to pay you more, it's just that your performance is worth the price, and I'm sorry for my conscience." ”

When the man heard this, his smile stiffened, and then he said unconvinced: "This gentleman, you are young, and your tone is not small, do you know how heavy this grinding plate is?" ”

Beside the potter, Xu Chu snorted heavily and said, "It's just a hundred and ten catties, how rare is it?" ”

The man squinted at Xu Chu, and wanted to scold two swear words to greet his mother, but when he saw Xu Chu's big waist and burly body, he had to hold back the words!

The man said disdainfully: "What you said is easy, you have the ability, you play one?" ”

Xu Chu sneered and said, "Boy, what's your name?" ”

The man raised his head and was old-fashioned: "Lao Tzu's surname is Pei, and his single name is a money word." ”

"Poof!" The potter who was standing on the side almost lost his joy when he heard this, stroked his chest and said, "What about your other three brothers?" ”

Pei Qian pointed to the other three men who were partnering with him, and said loudly: "Those three are the younger brothers of my mother's compatriots, the second brother Pei Guang, the third brother Pei Jing, and the fourth brother Pei Ben." ”

The pottery merchant stared at Pei Qian dumbfounded for a moment, and only then did he come back to his senses and exclaimed, "Ling Zun is really talented...... Just by looking at the names of the brothers, you know that your family must be a scholarly family, and the name is such a loser...... It's admirable. ”

Pei Qian raised his head: "Don't talk nonsense, the grinding disc is there, you have the ability, wait for a comparison?" ”

The potter sighed, shook his head, and said, "Okay, I'll teach you how to earn money today...... The four of you will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and you will lose less. ”

After that, the potter walked up to Xu Chu, the two whispered, and then the potter borrowed the gong in Pei Qian's hand and walked to the middle of the venue.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, it's not easy to miss your future days, come and see, folks! Bet two baht coins and you have a chance to win 100 baht! With less broad, Tong Su is not bullied! It's a rare opportunity! Don't miss this opportunity! ”

This call continued, and after a while, the bee chrysalis stood a large number of people, three layers inside and three layers outside.

People looked at the field, excited and hesitant.

"Really? Two dollars to get a hundred dollars? ”

"What do you mean? How? ”

"Which family's son, put a gimmick here!"

The potter picked up a stick, drew two circles on the ground, and then reached out and took a piece of gold leaf from the purse and threw it into one of the circles.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but gasp.

The potter pointed at Xu Chu and said loudly: "This man said that he can lift a stone plate weighing 100 catties over the top and squat ten times!" With Libo Cai, the loser loses 100 dollars, and the gold foil mortgage is evidenced, and the winner has two baht in his pocket, and he will not return a penny! ”

"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......"

The potter shouted again while striking the gong: "Bet, bet, bet, bet, bet that he can't lift it, it's two dollars!" “

At this moment, the audience was excited, not to mention that the stakes of two five-baht coins were not high, and the gold leaf alone made people's hearts itch.

"I'm coming! I got it! I'll bet on two sons! ”

"I'm here too!"

Looking at the other circle painted by the potter on the ground, the five baht coins clanged into it, and the eyes of the four brothers of the Pei family were straightened.

The potter took out a short wooden stick from the Pei brothers' miscellaneous bags as a voucher, distributed it to everyone, and continued to shout: "Is there anything else to charge?" Is there any? Without! Good! Open Bet! ”

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, strode to the middle of the field, and did not look at the brothers of the Pei family, stretched out his left hand, clasped the grinding plate with one hand, as if he didn't have any strength, bent his legs slightly, and easily lifted the huge stone mill above his head, and stretched his right hand empty-handed, and stretched a lazy waist with some flaws.

When the audience saw Xu Chu's state, they couldn't help but gasp.

The four brothers of the Pei family were dumbfounded, and their mouths opened wide in surprise, and several people held the stone grinding plate thrown at each other in front of their chests with their arms, and this man raised it above his head with one hand, and it didn't seem to be effortless at all!

It's like a calf becoming sperm!

Xu Chu held the stone plate, slowly walked around the field, and then began to squat continuously.

The potter lazily counted on the side: "One, two, three...... Nine, ten! Thank you for your patronage! ”

In the crowd, those who bet on each let out a helpless sigh, as well as countless sighs and unwilling voices.

But fortunately, the two baht money is not much, and everyone is just trying to have a good time, and the onlookers are talking about it, and they are noisy for a while and then disperse in twos and threes.

"Huh?"

A very exaggerated sound of surprise suddenly sounded behind him.

The potter turned his head to look.

I saw a man in his thirties, short stature, black and thin, scattered eyebrows, the bridge of the nose is not high and slightly protruding, and the forehead is a little tilted.

The little black thin man walked quickly to the potter's side, looked up and down Xu Chu who was playing with the grinding plate like a puppet in disbelief, and said with bright eyes: "What kind of trick is this?" Isn't it the legendary overlord? ”

The potter squinted at him: "Is that the tripod he lifted?" It's clearly grinding. ”

The little black thin man suddenly realized: "Overlord grinding? ”

The potter shook his head: "The word pull is generally used to describe '', which is clearly an example." ”

"Overlord lifts the mill!"

The potter nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

The little black thin man looked at the potter with envy on his face, and asked, "This virtuous brother, could this strong man like a heavenly man be Your Excellency's attendant?" ”

The potter grinned.

Look at the word he used...... is also a 'heavenly man' strong man......

The potter nodded and said, "So to speak. ”

"Brother Xian is really blessed." The little black thin man rubbed his hands, stared at the potter with a smile, and said, "I think this virtuous brother is a scholar...... Scholars, filial piety and honesty are the main things, but it is a matter of sacrifice to seek the end with martial artists every day...... I think Brother Xian might as well cut his love and give this hero to me, how about it? ”

When the potter heard this, his jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise.

Since he crossed back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the first time he met such a direct and shameless person...... How did he open his mouth?

"Big brother, are you kidding me? I don't seem to know you well. The potter looked at him like a monster.

The little black thin man was extremely exaggerated, and made a big gift with his hands in fists: "This virtuous brother, I sincerely plead...... I really beg you! This heroic man is a man of great courage at first glance, and he may go to the battlefield to eliminate harm for the country in the next day! If you can get the help of this hero, it must be the tiger Fu Yi! At that time, if the Han family is revived, Brother Ren will be a well-deserved hero! ”

Rid the country of thieves? The revival of the Han dynasty?

The potter squinted his eyes and looked the little black thin man up and down a few times, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It's up to you?" Also reviving the Han Dynasty? Serve the country and eliminate traitors? Who are you? ”

The little black thin man has been on his body, he smiled, rolled the beard of his chin with his hand, Shi Shiran said: "Don't hide it from Brother Ren, under the surname Cao Mingcao, the word Mengde, the position of modern Fenwu general, I don't know if Brother Ren has ever heard of Cao's name?" ”
