Chapter 185: Going to Danyang County

Without further ado, the potter gathered his own people the next day and went south to Danyang County.

During this period of time stationed in Xuzhou, the potter asked Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Xu Rong to cooperate with Hu Cai to carry out the transfer of people in the Baibo Valley of more than 114,000 strokes.

These 110,000 people, some old and some young, some strong and some weak, it is impossible for the potters to let them all serve as soldiers, so they can only select the most elite to use them.

In the end, Xu Chu and others selected the most hardcover soldiers, a total of 30,000 people.

In addition, the 1,000 soldiers of the Xu clan, 3,000 Taishan troops, 4,000 Hanoi soldiers, and 5,000 Fuyun Yellow Turbans.

and Tao Qian equipped the pottery merchant with 2,000 Danyang elite soldiers, and sent his own servant and nephew Tao Ji to assist the pottery merchant in commanding the ...... After all, it's still a father, not just for one hundred and fifty people.

These 45,000 men are the army that belongs entirely to the potters themselves!

From then on, these 40,000 people will be the most fundamental team of potters and follow the potters all over the world.

Speaking from the heart, an army of 45,000 people is already among the first-line among the current princes of the world.

Even if it is the soldiers and horses in the hands of Tao Qian himself, I am afraid that there will not be more than the pottery merchants.

At this point, the potters became the largest foreign vassal force in Xuzhou.

Of course, at present, the power of the princes is still in its infancy, if it is a year or two, not to mention others, with the strength and fame of the Yuan clan, it is relatively easy to recruit a huge army of more than 100,000.

However, most of the 45,000 men were the strength of the White Polish army, and they had not undergone formal training, and in the eyes of the potters, their combat strength was very insufficient.

Of course, when he returned to Danyang County, the task of training was handed over to Xu Rong.

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers of the Baibo Army who joined the pottery merchant army, the remaining more than 80,000 Baibo descended to the people, and the pottery merchants found Han Hao and asked him to prepare for Danyang County.

There are also the people of Xuzhuang, and the pottery merchants also obtained Tao Qian's permission, and after he took over Danyang County, they let them all move here to Tuntian together.

One is that the potters of Xuzhuang can be trusted, and they want them to become pilots, as the guidance of the whole county, and the gradual promotion of Tuntian in the future, which requires good experimental manpower.

Second, it can be regarded as the lovesickness between Xu Chu and his mother-in-law.

The plan has been decided, and the next step is to implement the strategy and get rid of Wu Jing and Zhou Xin.

Wu Jing's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, and the current Danyang County Shou is Yuan Shao's descendant Zhou Xin.

The potter was not in a hurry to enter Danyang County, he just waited for Wu Jing to arrive, and then designed a bunch to clean up the two of them to achieve the effect once and for all.

But the plan did not change quickly, and the potter was not in a hurry to go to Danyang County to see Zhou Xin, but Zhou Xin came to him in person.

And to the potter's surprise, Zhou Xin did not come with troops, he only led dozens of horsemen to meet the potter, and he also brought something unexpected to the potter.

The seal of the Danyang County Guard.

Watching Zhou Xin put the seal of the county guard in front of him, the potter couldn't help but be messy.

What's going on?

This guy doesn't play cards according to the routine? …… There must be a conspiracy!

met the potter's puzzled gaze, but Zhou Xin smiled sincerely.

"Don't misunderstand Gongzi Tao, this is not a ploy, it is a real handover, this county guard of Danyang County, Zhou will not sit down, let it be given to you, Gongzi don't be surprised, what Zhou said is sincere, if it is false, he will die for the thunder bombardment."

The potter did not dare to say that he was a godsend, and he could see through the sincerity or falsehood of everyone in the world.

But when he faced Zhou Xin's clear gaze, the potter could clearly feel that what the other party said was indeed the truth, and it was the truth from the bottom of his heart.

"Zhou Fujun, why is this?" The potter didn't understand that Zhou Xin, as the head of a county, could give up his foundation so easily?

What is the difference between this and killing a person who has been in a high position for a long time?

Zhou Xin smiled when he heard this, and said, "Master Tao, do you want to hear my true words?" ”

The potter nodded heavily and said, "Yes." ”

"It's very simple, I just don't want the people of Danyang County to suffer the scourge of war for no reason because of our fight."

The potter was dumbfounded.

It's a very simple truth, anyone can say it.

But how many people in high positions can really do it?

Standing in front of him was a person who truly deserved the respect and admiration of the potter.

"The high righteousness of Zhou Fujun really makes Shang feel ashamed." The potter bowed deeply to Zhou Xin from the bottom of his heart, and asked: "It's just that I don't understand, since Zhou Fujun doesn't want to cause a war and implicate the people, why should he let Danyang County be given to me instead of Wu Jing?" ”

Zhou Xin smiled when he heard this, and said honestly: "First, Zhou doesn't like Yuan Shu's personality, I am good friends with Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde on weekdays, and some time ago Meng De came to Yangzhou, and I also helped him recruit four thousand Danyang elite soldiers to go back......"

Hearing this, the potter's smile stiffened a little.

It's really what you said, your kindness, in the end, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will run naked, and when the night of the thousands of Danyang soldiers rebelled, Brother Meng De estimated that even his pants would have to be lost.

Will your brother Cao hate you to death when he turns around?

Zhou Xin didn't seem to feel the change in the expression of the Taoist Taomer, and continued: "And you are the original vassal, I heard that you are more friendly with Meng De, so, from the perspective of a certain person Zhou, I hope that you can take over Danyang County, second, nominally speaking, you are the Danyang County Guard of the imperial court, and you are more justifiable than me and Wu Jingdu, and thirdly, ......."

Zhou Xin paused and showed an appreciative smile.

"Who doesn't know the name of the Prince of Taiping now? It is up to you to take over Danyang County to ensure the peace of the people, so Zhou is really relieved. ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's three reasons, the potter's heart was greatly shocked.

Even when he heard the name of the Prince of Taiping from his mouth, the potter felt that it was not so harsh.

The plan is not as fast as the change, the potter came to Danyang County this time, and he wanted to take down Zhou Xin and Wu Jing in one fell swoop, but according to the current situation, this Zhou Xin and Zhou are too guarded, and he seems to be unable to move him anymore.

No matter how thick-skinned the potter is, he is embarrassed to do it in the face of such a generous and selfless character.

People, after all, still have to have a face.

"Zhou Fujun gave Danyang County to me, but where are you going?" The potter asked Zhou Xin with concern.

Zhou Xin pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Huiji is my hometown, I heard that at the same time as you came to serve as the county guard of Danyang, Wang Lang also went to serve as the Taishou of Huiji, I used to study in Luoyang, and when the servant Chen Fan was a teacher, I was familiar with Wang Lang, so why not take this opportunity to go back to Huiji's hometown and see if I can be a helper or something for Wang Lang, and spend a leisurely life, isn't it beautiful?" ”

The potter was silent for a long time when he heard this, and for the first time he was embarrassed.

"Zhou Fujun, for my sake, I really wronged you."

Zhou Xin laughed when he heard this, waved his hand, and said, "What is Childe talking about?" What is the trivial matter, the county city of Dahanzhou is not Zhou's family, what grievances to talk about, if Tao Gongzi can treat the people well in Danyang County and protect the peace, it will not be in vain Zhou's good intentions today. ”

The pottery merchant solemnly bowed his hand to Zhou Xin and said, "Zhou Fujun, Tao is not talented, you must remember the teachings of the public today." ”

Zhou Xin nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said: "When you clean up, Zhou will hand over all the matters in the county with you, Yuan Benchu's side, Zhou wrote a letter to explain for you, you don't have to worry that he will be dissatisfied with you, but Wu Jing is about to lead his troops to Danyang County, and when the time comes, the two of you will have to have a good confrontation, alas, but it is bitter for the people of Danyang County." ”

When the potter heard this, his eyes suddenly rolled, and his previous plan for the future was slightly modified.

"Zhou Fujun, the affairs in this county cannot be handed over for the time being, and you have to help Tao sit for a few more days."

Zhou Xin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and said, "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

Tao Shang smiled when he heard this: "Zhou Fujun is afraid that I will fight with Wu Jing and pit the people of Danyang County, but Tao has a way now, basically he can get Wu Jing without blood, and resolve the dispute in Danyang County into invisible, but I need your cooperation, I don't know if you can accompany me to play a play for the people of Danyang County?" ”

Zhou Xin was silent for a while when he heard this, and then thought for a moment and said, "Can Gongzi really guarantee that he can take Wu Jing without blood?" ”

The potter smiled, shook his head and said: "I'm talking about the basics, there will definitely be a little bit of bloodshed and sacrifice, but compared to hand-to-hand combat, it must be much stronger, at least it will never be a large-scale war confrontation." And it should be only Wu Jing who was trapped. ”

"You let me help you pit Wu Jing?" Zhou Xin frowned.

The pottery merchant suddenly became nervous, Zhou Xin seemed to be a true gentleman, if he didn't help, if he really confronted Wu Jing head-on, not to mention the damage to the soldiers and horses, he would offend Yuan Shu again.

Can't make it! Yuan Shu and himself, sooner or later, there will be a battle, but the potter feels that it is not now.

Zhou Xin closed his eyes and thought quietly for a long time.

"Okay, let's pit it." Zhou Xin sighed and said, "Since Gongzi Tao dares to promise Zhou that he will not harm the people, then what does it matter if Zhou helps you deal with Wu Jing when he leaves office?" It can be regarded as Zhou's last effort to the people of Danyang County, but remember not to do too much, son, you say, what should Zhou do? ”

The pottery merchant breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although Zhou Xin is a gentleman, he is not the kind of person who is stubborn and stupid, and he can distinguish the priorities.

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the seal of the Danyang County Guard that Zhou Xin sent to him, the Tao merchant said slowly: "I bother Zhou Fujun like sending a seal ribbon to Tao today, when Wu Jing arrives, I will send this seal ribbon to Wu Jing, and then hand it over step by step, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
