It's not that the potter doesn't want to help Tian Kai, but there are some things that he is powerless at the moment.

Opening the passage between Qingzhou and Xuzhou to welcome Kong Rong and Tian Kai over is already the limit of what the potters can do.

Wang Xiu also knows a little about the current situation in Xuzhou, and the crisis faced by the potters is not much stronger than that of Qingzhou.

The only difference may be that Xuzhou's strength is strong and not easy to be bullied, while Qingzhou's Tian Kai and Kong Rong are weak.

Wang Xiu was very sorry to leave, the lonely expression even made the potter feel a little unbearable, but there is no way, the battle for domination of the world is not a playhouse, there are too many things to plan by yourself, and you can't ignore the overall situation because of a moment of righteousness, and compete with others at will.

The situation is tense, and if you make a wrong move, it is easy to be doomed.

Today's potters have too many things to be afraid of.

His family, his generals and advisers, the scholar groups in Xuzhou and Jiangdong, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and nearly 6 million people under the entire Tao rule.

This is also something he needs to worry about, although he feels sorry, but the most he can do now is to take in Tian Kai and Kong Rong.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, just after the potters were very sorry to send Tian Kai away, Wu County, Zhang Hong of Hangzhou suddenly sent someone to Pengcheng to deliver the news, saying that near Wu County, the Shanyue Zulang of Jing County, gathered people out of the mountains, plundered the state and county, and the local soldiers and horses of Wu County were invincible, and implored the pottery merchants to send troops to rescue.

Hearing the news, the potter was not surprised, he could only feel helpless.

Historically, in the land south of the Yangtze River at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shanyue and Baiyue rebelled repeatedly, which consumed the huge energy and material resources of the Jiangdong Sun family, and they had to send troops to pacify it every year, almost endlessly, and now they have embarked on this old road.

Fortunately, he took precautions, so that the Baiyue of Huiji County and Yuzhang County were under the grace and power of Fuyi generals Tao Ying and Lu Dai, He Qi, Quan Rou, Liu Xuan, and Yan Baihu, but they became more and more obedient and gradually returned to Wanghua, but these Shanyue to the north were even more worry-free.

Although Shanyue's rebellion was not small, it was not enough for the current potter to let him go out in person, so he decided to send a general with 10,000 elite infantry soldiers to Hangzhou to assist Zhang Hong in quelling the rebellion.

But who should this general send?

Thinking about going first, the potter decided to send Xu Chu to reinforcements.

Among the generals under his command, except for Yan Baihu and Yan He, the person who is best at the battle of mountains and forests is probably Xu Chu, and now the two Yan are assisting Tao Ying on the southeast border, and even if they are here, the pottery merchants do not dare to use the two lightly, after all, they are the same as Zu Lang back then, they are all mountain thieves, who knows what will be greasy among them?

So the most reliable person is still Xu Chu.

After deciding, the potter immediately sent someone to find Xu Chu.

As soon as they met, the potter wanted to tell Xu Chu to task, but he was stunned all of a sudden.

I saw that Xu Chu, who was standing in front of him, had a swollen nose and swollen face, five big paw prints on his neck, and his right eye was also congested with fists, blue and purple, and he couldn't find a good place for his whole face.

The potter looked at Xu Chu's appearance, and doubts once again arose in his heart.

Xu Chu's appearance, in his impression, doesn't seem to be once or twice.

It seems that when he just took charge of Danyang County a few years ago, Xu Chu began to see him from time to time with a brain like a pig's head that was beaten by someone, and every time he asked him, he pushed him hesitantly, always saying that he was competing with others, but he didn't say who he was competing with.

At that time, neither Zhao Yun nor Tai Shici had ever been under the command of the pottery merchants, and it stands to reason that Xu Chu was an invincible existence in the pottery merchant army.

This is a bit strange.

But after so many years, the potter has not been too embarrassed to ask.

Because even if he asked, Xu Chu would not tell the truth, and he was always hesitant.

But for some reason, the potter felt that Xu Chu's face was extremely swollen today.

"Competing with people again?" The potter looked at Xu Chu's cheek indifferently.

Xu Chu's face turned red, and he nodded.

The potter sighed and said helplessly: "Competing with others again?" ”

Xu Chu snorted and chirped casually and agreed.

The potter carefully looked at Xu Chu's cheeks, and suddenly said, "Brother, your face is extremely swollen this time, what's wrong?" The opponent who competes with you all the year round, has grown in martial arts? ”

"Don't ask!" Xu Chu gasped, as if he had thought of something terrifying, he rubbed his swollen eyes vigorously, and muttered, "If there is anything, you can tell it!" ”

The pottery merchant stood up and said to Xu Chu: "Don't talk about it here, I ordered Tao Ji to transfer 20,000 Danyang soldiers to practice martial arts in the Danyang elite camp in Xuzhou, you follow me to the school to have a look." ”

The two left the mansion and drove to the school in the southern suburbs of Pengcheng.

The 20,000 Danyang elite soldiers of the Xuzhou headquarters are practicing martial arts in the school at the moment, murderous and magnificent.

Tao Qian ordered Tao Ji to be the deputy of the pottery merchant, and transferred two thousand Danyang elite soldiers to the pottery merchant, and the two thousand Danyang elite soldiers followed the pottery merchant to fight in the south and the north, and in a few years, they have become the division of a hundred battles.

And the Danyang Battalion commanded by Tao Qian himself has always been directly managed by him, which is also the reason why the local soldiers in Xuzhou have always been in charge of Cao Bao, but Tao Qian can still balance the Cao family militarily.

The most elite troops have always been managed by Tao Qian, and Cao Bao's power cannot be inserted or splashed with water.

Now that the power has been handed over to the potters, the Danyang elite barracks in the Xuzhou headquarters naturally have to be handed over to the potters to manage.

Looking at the 10,000 elite Danyang soldiers on the school field, the pottery merchant said to Xu Chu: "This time I went to Wu County to crusade against Shanyue Zulang, pacify the bandits and stabilize the border of Hangzhou, it is only one aspect, the most important thing is that you need to train this Danyang elite soldiers!" The 2,000 Danyang soldiers in Jinling, because of years of fierce battles, have surpassed the Danyang elite soldiers in the headquarters in terms of combat power and tactics, and there are about 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers in Pengcheng, I will send 20,000 to let you take them to training, you are so cautious, don't let me down, take the opportunity of the crusade against Shanyue, and temper this army well, do you know? ”

Xu Chu cautiously arched his hand and said, "No!" will live up to Taifu's hard work. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a Tiger Guard sergeant hurriedly running in front of them.

This Tiger Guard is Xu Chu's henchman, born in Xu Zhuang, and Xu Chu is also quite familiar with the countryman, he first saluted the potter respectfully, and then lay on Xu Chu's ear and muttered a few words.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xu Chu's complexion suddenly change greatly.

"Taifu! Let's go! Xu Chu panicked, and he didn't know what evil wind he had committed, so he hurriedly urged the potter to leave with him.

The potters were confused.

"Why is Zhongkang in such a hurry? It's not yet lunchtime, let's take a look at the Danyang soldiers for a while......"

Xu Chu stomped his feet anxiously and said, "If you don't hurry up, it's too late......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a burst of anger in the distance.

"Bastard surnamed Xu! I can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, you want to hide from the old lady in a different way, the old lady won't give you any face today, and you have to chop off your pair of pig's trotters if you say anything! ”

Xu Chu's face turned white all of a sudden.
