It seems that he has already calculated the words of the pottery merchant, but he saw Shi Tao preemptively said: "There is an ancient saying, the Tao is respected and virtuous, self-cultivation governs the country with virtue and matches the sky, and the virtuous never kills ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the potter stretch out his hand to block his words: "Another moral kidnapping." ”

Shi Tao was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said What does this mean?

The potter turned his head to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said very indifferently: "Since the day I threw myself into Jingzhou, I have calculated in my heart that there may be such a day, but since I have done it, it is useless to think about a way out, so I don't want to think about anything else. ”

The potter nodded, and said in his heart, at least from these words, Xu Shu did not use Jingzhou as a springboard, but sincerely threw himself into Liu Bei's command to do things, and as for people like Shi Tao, they were somewhat suspicious of seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

However, whether it is to see the wind and steer the rudder and govern Jingzhou, after all, some Jingzhou talents are still needed.

The pottery merchant said to him Shi Tao: "No matter what, if the general trend of reunification is imminent today, in addition to the two gentlemen, Mr. Shuijing also recommended Ma Liang, Meng Jian, Cui Jun and others for me, and now they are all working under me, Tao is reused, as long as the two gentlemen are willing, Tao will not lose each other." ”

Although Shi Tao didn't understand the words of the potter Shicai, and he still liked it, but now that he listens to his words, he can be regarded as acceptable, at least this is within the range of what he can accept.

The potter said to Shi Tao: "I have promised Meng Jian and Cui Jun to train them according to the head of a county, and now I will treat you in this way, what do you think?" ”

When Shi Tao heard that the potter was going to train him to become a county guard, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the potter.

The potter turned his head to look at Xu Shu again and said, "As for you...... In the future, follow me back to Jinling City, the officials in Jingzhou are perfect, people like you, Jinling City needs. ”

Shi Tao turned his head to look at Xu Shu enviously, with a slight jealousy in his eyes.

This Xu Shu didn't say anything, why did the potter value him so much?

Xu Shu was not happy or sad, he just naturally arched his hand at the potter, and did not say much.

The potter asked the two of them to go back first.

……

On the second day, the potters found Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Ma Liang and others, and Zhuo Ren found Xu Shu and introduced them to meet each other.

If you want to win a person's heart, the most important thing is to make him feel that there is a sense of like-mindedness in this group.

At this meeting, the potter did not talk to him about any major affairs of the country, but only asked a few people to express their opinions on the current situation and exchange experiences with each other.

This is not so much a military meeting as a tea party.

After an academic exchange, the degree of familiarity between them has obviously increased a lot, and Xu Shu is obviously very interested in Zhuge Liang and others, and the sense of integration is gradually increasing.

If you can achieve this level, it will be a success for the potter.

At least his subordinates gave Xu Shu a sense of belonging, which was a good thing for the potter.

……

After spending some time in Gangneung, the potters decided to temporarily shift their positions.

Jingzhou has been pacified, and Xishu cannot make any big moves outside the world for a while, but now it seems that it is a good time to go to Guanzhong carefully.

The potter decided to go back to Xuchang to prepare the soldiers and horses first, and then go to Wanchenghui and Chen Deng, Tai Shici, Lu Bu and others to find an opportunity to march to Wuguan.

After all, the south has been pacified, and there is no danger of being flanked from the front and rear, so that you can use troops against Guanzhong with peace of mind.

Leaving the navy to patrol the Yangtze River and occupy the entire Yangtze River, the pottery merchant commanded the three armies of Mabu to return to Xuchang City.

The potter's wife and son had all returned to Jinling City, but only Tao Qian, Wang Yun and others sat in Xuchang with Xun Yu, which surprised the potter.

He also planned to let the second elder go back together.

After meeting the second elder, the pottery merchant accompanied them to talk, but suddenly heard Wang Yun say: "Zidu, Jingzhou has been pacified, are you going to Guanzhong next?" ”

The potter took a closer look at Wang Yun and found that he was obviously much thinner than during the Chinese New Year, and his spirit seemed to have been compromised a lot.

The potter's heart couldn't help but 'chuckle', he could see that Wang Yun was approaching the end of his life.

Tao Shang smiled and said: "Wang Situ, do you feel at ease in Xuchang to retire?" Why worry about so many state affairs? ”

Wang Yun shook his head and said, "Don't worry...... Don't fool me with nice words, what's going on with the old man, the old man knows best in his heart...... If you want to go to Guanzhong, the old man will definitely go with you this time. ”

The potter looked at Wang Yun's trembling body, and couldn't bear it: "Do you really want to do this?" Your body, I'm afraid it's not easy to travel, right? If you go to Guanzhong, the journey is not short, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid, the old man won't be able to persevere." Wang Yun said very confidently: "If you don't climb the city of Liangdu, the old man will definitely not die, you can rest assured." ”

The pottery merchant originally wanted to persuade him, but inadvertently, he saw Tao Qian gently shaking his head at him.

The potter pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Yun: "Since Lord Yuezhang wants to go, the child is naturally omnipotent, and I will take you with me when I go to Guanzhong the next day." ”

Wang Yun nodded in satisfaction, and then saw him stand up.

But the moment he stood up, he saw that Wang Yun's face suddenly turned a hundred, and then he shook back and forth in place, and his body fell directly backwards.

The potter was taken aback.

He stepped forward in surprise, grabbed Wang Yun's hand with one hand, and supported him with the other.

"Uncle Yue, how are you? Don't scare me! ”

Wang Yun was confused in place for a while, and then he calmed down and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine!" You don't need to worry about ......."

The potter whispered, "Shall I send you back to rest?" ”

Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, you are busy, the old man will go back to rest by himself, and the old man will not be so useless." ”

The potter knew Wang Yun's stubborn temper, and he didn't argue with him, but just glanced at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian naturally understood what the potter meant, so he immediately replaced the potter and helped Wang Yun to go back.

Tao Qian looked at Wang Yun's back, and broke with a long sigh: "This time, he, he's just afraid that it's really going to be bad." ”

Tao Qian's tone was a little choked, Wang Yun had cultivated with him over the years, and to a certain extent, he had become Tao Qian's wife-like existence, and his imminent death was naturally difficult for Tao Qian to accept.

The pottery merchant sighed and said, "Father, the child will definitely take good care of Wang Situ." ”

Tao Qian glanced at him and said, "Take care of what?" The old man will go with you. ”

"You, you're going too?"

"The old friend is like a leaf falling in the wind, and the old man naturally wants to give him a ride in person."
