Yuan Shao asked Zhang He to lead an army alone and assist him in fighting Montenegro, obviously with the intention of cultivating him.

However, Zhang He did not show the joy that Yuan Shao imagined.

He just bowed his hand respectfully and said, "No." ”

When Wen Chou heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Lord, how can you only let you fight?" A certain family is also willing to go with the lord to fight Chu Feiyan's thief! ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said: "General Wen is so loyal and brave, Yuan feels very comforted in his heart, but this Yecheng still needs to be guarded by fierce generals, and you will follow the trial to protect Yuan's foundation. ”

Fu Zhi touched his beard and said with a smile: "There are only a few black mountain thieves, and there is no need to bother a general like General Wen in the army, it is enough to have Zhang Junyi with him." ”

Yuan Shaohe's words were very useful to Wen Chou, he smiled, and then left with Zhang He.

And Zhang He kept his head down and did not make any remarks from beginning to end.

After the second general left, Yuan Shao began to discuss Cao Cao and the pottery merchant with Fu Zhu.

"Note, this time the method of separating Cao and Tao has been planned for a long time and thundered, but Cao Cao and Tao Shang are not easy to match, these two people are vicious people, do you think they will really go to war because of this?"

Fu Zhu nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't worry, the two Cao Tao will definitely go to war." ”

Yuan Shao half-squinted his eyes and pondered carefully for a while before shaking his head.

"I don't think so, Cao Agui this person, no one in the world knows him better than Yuan, that kid is not a person who can be fooled at will, he is scheming, treacherous and cunning, he is like him! In terms of deceit, I consider myself inferior to Cao Cao...... Although there is nothing wrong with our plan, he may not believe it. ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and said: "Duke Ming, whether Cao Cao believes it or not, he will inevitably send troops." ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this: "Why?" ”

In recent years, the territory surnamed Cao has expanded rapidly, especially after the First World War in Chang'an, east to Shanyang Feng County, west to Hangu Huashan, north to Yanjin Port, south to the vast Liang Kingdom, all within its jurisdiction, looking at the world, its potential is only under the lord, and the Son of Heaven is still supported by him now, although the lord deliberately gave it to him...... But Cao Cao is no longer an ordinary prince, imagine that his father is dead, and the evidence is directly pointed to Xuzhou Tao, if Cao Cao doesn't even let out a fart, wouldn't he have to become the laughing stock of the world? ”

Yuan Shao suddenly realized when he heard this, and said with a handrail: "What you said is right, Cao Cao has just taken the Son of Heaven to Yanzhou, and his prestige is insufficient, even if it is to save face, he has to fight Xuzhou!" ”

Fu Zhu added to Yuan Shao: "And most importantly, I don't believe that Cao Cao is not greedy for the land of Xuzhou...... Just as the strategy of the lord is to annex the four states of Hebei and fight for the world in the south, Cao Cao must also have his strategic deployment, if Fu is right, that is, to collect the entire Zhongzhou, and now the realm of Zhongzhou, except for him Cao Cao, the biggest force is naturally ......"

"Xuzhou!" Yuan Shao smiled and picked up the unfinished words of the frustrated teaching, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, even if there is no such thing as his father, Cao Apu will definitely not let go of the surname Tao!" We just gave him an excuse, an excuse that he had wanted for a long time! ”

Frustrated and said slowly: "Tao Qian of Xuzhou is not worried, but now there is a Taiping prince pottery merchant rampant in the southeast, this Zicheng can be said to be Cao Mengde's opponent!" According to Fu's point of view, these two can be said to be chess opponents, and they will meet good talents! Ming Gong let the two of them fight, these two people, whoever wants to eat whom, is not so easy! In the end, it is very likely that it will be a stalemate, clamping each other, and losing troops...... When the lord doesn't care about them, just collects the four states of Hebei, and waits for the lord's power to become great, and he is not afraid of the restraints of the scholars, and the soldiers and horses are enough to sweep the world, what is the Son of Heaven in the hands of Cao Cao, and the salt and iron assets in the hands of the potters, aren't they all in the pocket of the Ming Duke? ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said one word: "Good!" ”

……

……

Jinling City, the county guard's house.

The potter happened to be idle today, so he went to Jinling City with Diao Chan and Xiao Ying'er to go out to play.

Seeing that the half-year period is approaching, that is, the wedding date of Diao Chan and the potter merchant is getting closer and closer.

The potter believes that there are some things that should be put on the table with Diao Chan.

If you don't say it, the potter will feel unhappy......

"Dowry?" Diao Chan stared at the potter in surprise, and said in disbelief: "You asked me to marry?" ”

The potter smiled and said: "I'm not asking you to marry, I'm asking Wang Situ to marry, after all, it is the respect of the three princes, how can there be a girl who doesn't pay a penny, and it will fall more than Lord Situ's share!" It's not good to spread out. ”

Among the traversers, marrying one of the four beauties and asking for money at the same time, this little bastard is estimated to be the first one.

Diao Chan has been with the potter for a long time, and it seems that he has also been contaminated with some of his habits, and he waved his hand and replied very righteously.

"Nope!"

Seeing that the potter's expression seemed to be a little disbelieving, she immediately smiled and said: "What kind of Situ Mansion in Luoyang was burned into, you didn't see it, where are our father and daughter going to find you a dowry?" ”

When the potter heard that this was the reason, he was relieved.

"Situ Mansion has been destroyed, but isn't the Taiyuan Wang clan still there? Go back and let the Wang family send it from the old house in Taiyuan, okay? ”

Diao Chan hesitated and said: "The problem is, the old mansion of the Taiyuan Wang family is thousands of miles away from here, and the Black Mountain Army in Hebei is criss-crossed, if the thieves rob it again, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" ”

The potter clapped his hands suddenly and said, "It's still the lady's thoughtfulness." ”

After a pause, the potter smiled again: "Otherwise, madam, you will write me an IOU?" ”

Diao Chan was angry and wanted to hit him.

The two of them just walked around all the way, and were frolicking, but they saw Xiao Ying'er behind them running towards the two of them with a bouquet of flowers.

"Master Tao, sister, it seems that someone is following us behind?"

The potter turned his head in confusion.

But I saw a figure sneakily suddenly flashed behind a tree, and the way of moving and hiding......

How so? It's very clumsy.

Pei Qian, who had been secretly protecting the potter, had already seen the figure, but he didn't catch it, just shook his head helplessly while holding back a smile.

Diao Chan also saw the person clearly at this moment, she pursed her mouth, patted the potter gently, and said resentfully: "Go, don't just watch, I'm waiting for you here." ”

The potter touched his nose and said helplessly: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"People must be coming at you." Diao Chan chuckled: "You won't let the big girl come up and ask you first, right?" ”

The potter sighed, shrugged, and walked over to the figure behind the tree.

"Hey, Miss Mi, what a coincidence." The potter smiled and greeted Mi Zhen behind the tree.

Mi Zhen was startled, her little face suddenly flushed with shame, and she looked back and forth.

"Hey! Ay? What to see? I greeted you, didn't you see? The potter waved vigorously at her.

Mi Zhen seemed to come back to her senses, she blushed, reached out and brushed the hair behind the roots of her ears, and chuckled: "Tao Fujun, you are here too." ”

"Yes, I'm here, why are you here?"

Mi Zhen said in a low voice: "I, I'm also here to go green......"

The potter held back a smile and asked, "Are you alone?" ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and nodded lightly after a while.

After a while, I heard Mi Zhen suddenly speak: "Fujun ......"

"What does Miss Mi have to say?"

Mi Zhen's head lowered even more, her hands seemed to be grabbing the skirt, rubbing back and forth: "Fujun, are you and Sister Chan going to get married?" ”

The potter nodded lightly and said, "Yes, this is what my father and Wang Situ have set, and it will not be long before the wedding date...... By the way, you can donate a decent red envelope for the Mi family. ”

Mi Zhen's expression became extremely complicated, and she hesitated, as if she had something to say. But when the words came to his mouth, they became sparse: "Tao Fujun, you are going to get married, I ...... I...... This, alas! ”

The Tao merchant was silent for a long time, and then suddenly spoke: "Miss Mi, Tao knows what you are worried about, isn't it because of your brother?" ”

Mi Zhen's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

"Does the government know me?"

Tao Shang smiled helplessly, and said: "Tao is not a fool, Brother Ling wants to match you and me, Tao can naturally see it, but the problem is that this matter has always been to make Brother shave his head and pick his head hot, the girl is just a person who is instructed to swing, for the sake of the family, Brother Mi instructed to come here across the border and do what he is not good at, it is really difficult for you." ”
