Chapter 178: Uncle Zhuge and Nephew

After making up his mind, the day after the crown ceremony, the pottery merchant went to Tao Qian to discuss the matter.

In these years, the migration of the scholars is not a big deal, with the relationship between the scholars in the locality, it is very simple to ask the local Taishou or the county to get a road guide, and if you have a road guide, you will have the qualifications to migrate, where you want to go, and you can change your household registration and registration with this paper road guide.

So Tao Qian didn't take Zhuge moving away at all, Old Man Tao has too many things to worry about now, there are many local scholars in Xuzhou, and going to ten families and eight families is like a drizzle for Tao Qian.

And as an outsider, the old man still has a little resentment towards the scholar clan in his heart...... It's all gone!

However, the degree of opposition of the potters to this matter obviously exceeded Tao Qian's expectations.

He insisted on asking Tao Qian to cooperate with him, and he must leave the Zhuge clan in Xuzhou.

Seeing such a fierce request from the potter, Tao Qian was even a little skeptical.

In the Zhuge family, is there anyone who owes my son money?

"Son, you are going to Danyang County next month to take office, and at this time you are still worrying about the affairs of the Langya Zhuge clan, is it inevitable that you are asking for trouble" Tao Qian asked with concern.

The potter shook his head vigorously and said, "Father, this matter is very important to me, the child must find a way to hold the Zhuge family, but the trouble is very serious, and the child must discuss it with his father before he wants to do this." ”

Tao Qian sighed, shook his head, and said, "There is no need to say that it is a big trouble...... In fact, it's not a big deal to be a father, if you want to keep them, you can stay, it's just that the ancestral residence of the Zhuge clan is in Yangdu County, and its place is under the jurisdiction of Zang Ba, how are you going to communicate with him?"

The potter thought about this matter for a night last night, and now he already has a way in his heart.

"The child wants to follow Mi Zhu's caravan to Yangdu and meet Zhuge Xuan."

Tao Qian was a little hesitant when he heard this, and sighed: "Yangdu County is under the rule of Zang Ba, although the old man and Zang Ba have not yet torn their faces, but he is not under his father's command after all, if my son goes to Yangdu County like this, if he is found out by Zang Ba, he has crooked thoughts and sends troops to detain you, but what should the old man do...... Alas, this matter is still absolutely inappropriate. ”

Tao Qian could think of this layer, and the potter naturally thought of it.

If he wants to dig people under Zang Ba's nose, he will naturally have a foolproof plan.

When it comes to taking care of his own life, the potter knows better than his father.

After living for two lifetimes, no one will have a Taiping prince to spare his life.

"Father, this is an easy thing to do."

Tao Shang stood up and said to Tao Qian: "The child brought back from outside Xuzhou, in addition to the 110,000 Baibo military troops, didn't he also bring back 3,000 Taishan troops Father may wish to release news to the outside world, just say that I have heard for a long time that the Taishan army is strong, in order to raise the momentum of my Xuzhou and want to examine the ability of the Taishan army, Zhuo ordered the Danyang elite soldiers and the Taishan army under your jurisdiction to perform martial arts in Tan County next to Yishui, Tan County before his father moved to Pengcheng, it was an important town in Xuzhou, and he could go north to Kaiyang County, if Zang Ba heard that his father was playing martial arts in Tan County, There must be doubts in my heart! ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he seemed to understand.

The old man nodded and said suddenly: "The old man understands, yes, the Taishan army and the Danyang soldiers are performing martial arts in Tan County, Zang Ba will definitely suspect that the old man is trying to take the opportunity to recruit him, he will definitely adjust the deployment of Kaiyang, and set up the elite soldiers and horses near Yishui to wait for him, all the spiritual heads of the thief are concentrated in Tan County, where the old man is performing martial arts, how can I have the heart to care about other things, so that my son can go to Yangdu County to see the people of the Zhuge clan without worry." Hehe, don't say it's Zang Ba, even if it's us people in Pengcheng, we will definitely think that the old man's move may be an adjustment made to Zang Ba. ”

Tao Qian is really a political veteran, and he knows the elegance when he hears the strings, and the pottery merchant is very comfortable chatting with him.

It's much better than discussing things with Mi Fang when you're outside.

"Father is wise, you are still such an old chicken thief."

Tao Qian sniffed and said dissatisfiedly: "Bastard thing, the idea was you came up with, how did you nag in the end, and you became an old man and a chicken thief!" ”

……

……

Tao Qian's movements were very fast, and he immediately ordered Tao Ji, the nephew and subordinate son of the Tao clan, the lieutenant of the middle base, to lead three thousand Danyang elite soldiers, and the three thousand Taishan troops led by Han Hao to go to Tanxian to practice martial arts.

After the news reached Kaiyang, Zang Ba was taken aback.

Tao Qian'er has not made any moves for almost two years, why is he still so close to him when he suddenly sends troops to perform martial arts

Zang Ba originally had a ghost in his heart, and after getting the letter, he immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses under his command, and he personally supervised the formation, and went to the north of Yishui to look at Tan County in the distance, just in case.

The eyes of the entire Kaiyang County high-level were focused on the place where Tao Qian performed martial arts.

Zang Ba was engrossed in exploring the situation of Tanxian County's martial arts, and had no time for anything else, while the pottery merchant said hello to Mi Zhu very easily, and went to Yangdu County with a caravan from the Mi family to Qingzhou.

Yangdu County is located at the confluence of the Yi, Mongolia and Wen rivers, with a long history, and like Yangzhai City in Yingchuan, it is also one of the birthplaces of human civilization in China.

The potter went to Yangdu this time, and in addition to Xu Chu and Pei brothers and other personal bodyguards, there was also Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was very helpless about this matter.

He found that the potter was willing to drag him in everything, and discussed it with him whenever he had something...... After the discussion, the IOU will not be paid.

Guo Jia felt breathless all the way and didn't squeak much.

But after all, he is not a person who is good at silence, seeing that he is about to arrive in Yangdu City, the prodigal son still couldn't hold back after all, and asked Tao Shangdao: "I said, you just want to persuade Zhuge Xuan not to move south, this kind of thing, why are you deliberately leading Guo to play tricks, it is definitely not Guo's director." ”

What a bad thing to say, is there anyone in the world who is better at playing tricks than you?

The potter didn't demolish him, just smiled and said, "Convincing Zhuge Xuan is only one of the things, but the main purpose of me bringing you here is to lead you to meet a child, and then I will accept him as a student in the future." ”

"You accept students" Guo Jia grew his mouth in surprise: "You haven't learned well yet!" Which students do you take?"

The potter sniffed, directly ignoring the derogatory meaning of Guo Jia's words.

"The head of the family, Zhuge Xuan, has a nephew, the second son of the dead Zhuge Xuan, called Zhuge Liang, who should be ten years old, but he is a good seedling who is not born in the world, and he is a genius! When he grows up, he will become a big tool, and Tao is going to be accepted as a student, and he is the one who is going to be accepted. ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "Zhuge Xuan's nephew is a genius of Tianzong, how do you know?"

The potter turned his head to look at him and smiled, and said, "I can even dig out your unobtrusive thing, what is the quality of the turtle grandson of the Zhuge family, can you still hide it from me?"

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this.

Half an hour later......

"That's really the ......," Guo Jia muttered to himself.

He suddenly said: "But Guo still doesn't understand, you just have to accept the students, what are you doing with Guo to see him?"

The potter looked at Guo Jia in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster.

"After talking for a long time, why don't you understand that you just come to see the child's quality, how should you teach him skills in the future?"

Guo Jia's mind was obviously a little confused.

"Wait, wait! Guo didn't smooth out this bend a little...... Is it difficult, what do you mean: you want to accept a talented child as a student, and then Guo Mou will teach him his skills, is this what you mean?"

The potter sighed with emotion, and said helplessly: "Brother God's only now has reacted to this smell, it's really slow for thirty miles!" In these days, whoever is a teacher has to teach the children by himself."

Guo Jia couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Shame on you!

Stinky and shameless you are still reasonable!

"Why," Guo Jia protested.

The potter pointed behind Guo Jia, who turned his head to see that You Donkey had already loaded the short crossbow.

The muscles on Guo Jia's face stiffened, and he sighed.

It is really the death of the country, and there will be demons.

This guy is really too bullying!

The ten-year-old child of the Zhuge family who he looked down on, no matter who it was, the end was definitely not much better.

……

……

After arriving in Yangdu County, the potter did not delay, first sent Xu Chu to inquire about the location of the Zhuge clan, and then went to Baifu.

Zhuge Xuan, the head of the Zhuge family, was dealing with the tenant accounts at home at the moment, and when he heard that someone had sent a worship sticker, he immediately opened it to see.

When he saw the name of the person who worshiped the sticker written on it, Zhuge Xuandeng was a little surprised.

"Danyang County Potter"

Zhuge Xuan closed the post lightly, and said in surprise: "I have never had anything to do with the Tao family, how could this newly rising Taiping prince suddenly lead people to worship the mansion?"

By Zhuge Xuan's side, it was his right-hand man at home, his nephew Zhuge Jin.

This young man is the same age as the potter, he is only eighteen years old, but his style is extremely old, and everything he does at home on weekdays is in order, and he is a helper for Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Jin looked at the sticker in Zhuge Xuan's hand curiously, and suggested: "Uncle, although this matter is strange, but Tao Gongzi is the son of Thorn Shi after all, and now he is in the limelight, he specially came from Pengcheng to see you, there must be something big...... Besides, we are about to move the clan south, so it is better not to snub the people of the Assassin Mansion at present, the so-called stability and perfection is the best policy. ”

Zhuge Xuan nodded and said, "What I said is that when the wait arrives, you will go with me to meet him." ”

When he was young, the potter and others came to Zhuge Mansion.

The uncles and nephews of the Zhuge family, an old man and a young man, came to the gate of the mansion and personally greeted the pottery merchants.

After exchanging names, the pottery merchant was not polite, and entered the inner hall with Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Xuanren is middle-aged, but he doesn't look very energetic, and he is a little sick.

On the contrary, Zhuge Jin, who was following him, was young, handsome, and showed a calm atmosphere that did not match his age, which made the potter feel comfortable.
