Chapter 586: Returning with a full load
Zhuge Liang controlled his figure, he walked to Zhao Yun's side with a flirtatious step, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "General Zhao, you can let the three armies move." ”
Zhao Yun was taken aback by Zhuge Liang's voice, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, and said strangely: "Kong Ming, why are you so loud?" ”
Zhuge Liang could vaguely hear Zhao Yun's voice right now, although it was not very clear, but with his intelligence, he could probably guess what he was going to say.
Zhuge Liang pointed to his ears vigorously and said: "My ears are buzzing, and I can't hear anything clearly, so I ask General Zhao for help, command the three armies, go and collect those scattered war horses, and use the equipment we brought from Peiguo." ”
Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang are still in love, and when they see that his ear is injured, they are still very worried, but at the moment Zhao Yun can't take care of him.
The opportunity is rare - most of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army jumped into the stinky ditch to take refuge, and after the war horses ran around, after scattering and fleeing now, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be quiet, and now the land in this radius of several miles is probably the war horses lost by the Xiliang Army after this chaos.
If you don't take this opportunity to collect those lost war horses, how long will you wait? What a godsend!
Zhuge Liang also saw this opportunity and came to let Zhao Yun act.
Zhao Yun had a plan in his heart, and immediately beckoned the three armies, prepared the horse set tools that had been prepared long ago, and agreed with Xu Chu, Zang Ba, and Li Tong on the time and place, and set off separately to collect the lost war horses of Li Dao and Guo Yan and others.
……
And just when Zhao Yun and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were having fun in Zhongmu County, the work of potters in Yingchuan was also affected.
At the instigation and instruction of the potters, Mr. Qu returned to Yangzhai and began to talk about many Confucian scholars who had opened private schools for the potters, asking them to go to Yangzhou with the potters to run private schools, and stated that the potters would definitely support them and give them financial support.
These people were all Confucian students who opened private schools in the early years, and in the troubled times, many private schools were taught under extremely harsh conditions, and the teaching craftsmen lived in embarrassment, so they had no choice but to give up what they liked in their hearts and switch to other businesses behind closed doors in order to make a living.
However, Qu Lao's words and the potter's assurance brought a new dawn to their lives.
In any case, Qu Lao is also an old signboard who has been mixed in Yangzhai's private learning industry for decades, and it doesn't matter whether the level of teaching is high or not, but this prestige and status are really on the spot in the private learning circle.
Someone once said in later generations: In a certain industry, four people scold the street and no one obeys, and the criterion for commenting on their success is that whoever lives to the end is an artist.
The same is true of Yingchuan's private education industry - the old man who can't stand the old man's life is big!
For a time, based on his fame and fame, for a while, those private Confucians of Yang Zhai intended to go to the southeast with him.
Just when things were going well, Cao Cao's side also took action.
He couldn't refute the behavior of the potter, so he asked Xun to replace him in Yingchuan Yangzhai and say the organizers of these private schools for himself.
The Xun family's reputation in Yingchuan is by no means beyond the Pang family's reach, and they speak for Cao Cao, whoever they are, in Yingchuan Yangzhai, they have to give three points of thin noodles.
They do have such an ability, and the fundamental reason why the Yingchuan strategists under Cao Cao can be successfully formed is that Cao Cao only took Xun Yu alone in the early stage, and with the support of Xun Yu alone, he sent countless Yingchuan talents to Cao Cao, and it was precisely because of Xun Yu that Cao Cao received the collective support of the Yingchuan scholars.
In terms of talent, Guo Jia is by no means under Xun Yu, but his family and background are destined to have no ability and prestige, and recruiting Yingchuan people for pottery merchants is a congenital condition that is irreconcilable.
With the Xun Group's appearance, many private Confucian scholars who had made up their minds to go to the southeast retreated again, after all, they lived in Yingchuan all the year round and still knew the Xun family's energy very well.
The Xun family came forward to say things for Cao Cao, which was naturally much stronger than Qu Lao, and it was also much more high-profile...... What's more, if Cao Cao really has the heart to save Yingchuan private school in the future, he can teach in this homeland, which is naturally much better than going to the southeast, where he is not familiar with his life.
As a result, many people retreated.
After seeing this situation, Qu Lao used the power of the famine, and went door to door to persuade him, how could he be a drop in the bucket, and finally agreed to go to the southeast with him to learn Confucianism privately, there are only four families.
Qu Lao was very sad, and came to see the potter with a dejected face, and told him about his defeat in pain.
In the depths of his love, the old man was ruthless and reached out to pump his big ear scraper, but was stopped by the potter.
Such an honest living old man, I haven't met him again for many years, it's a living treasure, how can I let him harm himself?
However, the development of events was indeed expected by the potter, and there was nothing surprising about it.
Yuzhou is Cao Cao's territory, and Yingchuan Xun's subordinates are attached to him, if the potter only relies on Qu Lao, a seventy-year-old man, he wants to stir up wind and waves in Yingchuan, which is an acre of three points of land, it is really strange.
It's like a thief who goes to someone else's house to pry the safe, holds a hammer and axe and a wrench, and stubbornly enters the sixteen-digit digital password over and over again.
Such a thief will either be a fortune teller, or a genius, or his head will be kicked by a donkey.
The pottery merchant stabilized Qu Lao, comforted him and said that all this is a fixed number, although there are few Yang Zhai Confucians accompanying Qu Lao, but the talents are not expensive, he will continue to uphold the concept, and set up a private school near Jinling City, and then he will have to ask Qu Lao Duoduo to help.
After sending Qu Lao away, the potter immediately issued an order to the three armies, asking the whole army to retreat to Peiguo.
According to the calculation of time, the pottery merchant calculated that Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and the others were almost over there, and the work of helping them attract Cao Cao's attention here was basically completed.
Although the situation of digging Yingchuan private talents is not satisfactory, but I also brought back a few, and it can be regarded as a thief who does not go empty, and does not return empty-handed, it is worth it.
……
The potter's action was very fast, and all of a sudden he set off to return to Peiguo, and his speed was as fast as a thunderbolt, which was really beyond the imagination of others.
When the news was delivered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was arranging Tuntian while paying attention to Yingchuan's private school.
As soon as he heard the pottery merchant withdraw his troops, Cao Cao's head suddenly went blank!
After a while, the first thought that popped into his mind was: Oops! Cao must have fallen for that little cub's trick again!
But the problem is that Cao Cao didn't understand what the significance of the pottery merchant running to stay near Yingchuan for so much time took advantage of the time to pay tribute to Kong Ling.
Just when Cao Cao didn't understand what he thought, Jia Xu rushed back from Luoyang and reported to Cao Cao about the harvest of the north.
But Cao Cao interrupted him before Jia Xu could report.
He completely recounted to Jia Xu the back-and-forth between himself and the potters during this time.
After finishing his statement, Cao Cao immediately said: "Wenhe, in your opinion, in this situation, what is the potter planning?" Cao thought about it for a long time, but he never figured out the key to this! I hope that Gong can solve Cao's doubts. ”
Jia Xu half-closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and knew it in his heart.
But in front of Cao Cao, the old poison was not easy to say some things directly, and offended others, so he said: "Ming Gong might as well go to the Guandu battlefield or the direction of Zhongmu County to inquire, maybe he will get something." ”
