As the first mastermind under the command of the potter, and a man with the title of ghost talent, Guo Jia's thoughts and ideas are naturally different from ordinary people.

The potters came from later generations, so naturally they were a little different from the people of this era in terms of thinking.

This is also one of the important reasons why the potter and Guo Jianeng have become more and more tacit in their relationship for so many years.

Because neither of them is considered a normal person.

This point, Bao Tao and Bao Zhong deeply understood this time.

Actually, the two of them regret it a little now.

Why didn't you get on the potter's thief ship in the first place?

The two brothers were scared day by day.

But now, it's too late for the two to think about anything, and they have no way to retreat now, so they can only follow Guo Jia and follow this path to the dark.

In their hearts, they can only pray that the potters will be kind to them in the future and not let down their current hardship.

As Guo Jia expected, Cao Ren quickly sent someone to find the second general to discuss the rescue with everyone.

……

Cao Ren was in the main hall of Chen Liucheng's mansion, and gathered all the military generals above the military marquis under his command.

They were divided into two phalanxes, each standing on one side, and on both sides was black, and they were talking to each other, causing a commotion in the hall.

At this time, they can't help but make trouble, after all, Cao Cao has a sudden illness, which affects the morale of the army very much.

Although the main camp tried its best to blockade it, the news finally reached Chen Liu.

According to the current situation, the Tao Shang army began to attack the Cao army with all its might, naturally it was not hidden from Cao Ren's spies, and now Tao and Cao have entered the tense stage of fighting and fighting, and Cao Ren, who is an important town of the Cao army, naturally cannot stand idly by.

He had already made up his mind at this moment to go to support Cao Cao.

It's just to support Cao Cao, what should Chen Liucheng do?

Someone who is capable and has no second heart must be left behind to guard him.

But who should be chosen for this candidate?

Cao Ren thought about it, these military captains were temporarily requisitioned by county governments all over Yanzhou, and to be honest, Cao Ren was not familiar with them.

At such a moment, it was inconvenient for him to delegate such a task to them at will.

But if it is a real theory, he really has a suitable candidate in his heart, and that is Bao Tao.

After these few emergencies, Bao Tao's level of response to sudden events and his loyal and courageous advice impressed Cao Ren and liked it very much.

Cao Ren had basically decided in his heart that if one of these people was to temporarily guard the city for him, Bao Tao would undoubtedly be the best candidate.

But after all, Chen Liucheng is a very important matter, and it cannot be easily trusted, even if Bao Tao is very in line with Cao Ren's wishes, but he must consider it carefully, after all, it is not a trivial matter, and he has to be cautiously investigated.

After the captains and marquis under his command arrived, Cao Ren coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, the current situation is critical, Sikong's own formation is very urgent to attack by the Jinling army, the two sides have been fighting for a long time on the river bank in front of the camp, Tan Ma Lai, the Taoshang army is attacking fiercely, Dazhai is in danger, I am a subordinate of Sikong, at this critical moment, we must not watch from the wall, we need to be rescued!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, most of them are speechless.

When Cao Ren selected these county guards, in order to prevent civil strife, he discussed with Xun Yu and issued a document to consult, and those who came voluntarily were not used, and those who did not ask for their lives were recruited by Cao Ren.

This strategy was indeed correct at that time, at least the soldiers and generals in these counties were not deceived by the potters, and they did not have two hearts.

But they also have a drawback, which is that they don't have momentum.

It's okay to hold on, but if it's an offense, they're a lot less sharp.

After all, he can attack and have the courage, and Cao Ren didn't dare to summon Chen Liucheng at the beginning.

After listening to Cao Ren's question, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to look at him.

At such a moment, such a sensitive issue, who dares to talk about it easily?

Looking at the appearance of these people, Cao Ren felt a little breathless in his heart.

These bastards, who take Sikong's money on weekdays and are protected by it, are now in danger, and when they are needed, they are all like birds!

Just when Cao Ren gritted his teeth and sulked, he saw Bao Tao stand up.

"General, the Tao army is prepared, and Chen Liu is related to the lifeblood of the Central Plains, so the general must not move lightly."

The first two times Bao Tao didn't let Cao Ren go out of the city, Cao Ren praised him a lot in his heart, but this time, it wasn't.

Cao Ren looked at him coldly: "What? General Bao thinks that Ben should not go out of the city? ”

When he said this, there was obviously a chill in his tone.

Cao Ren's tone was not good, but Bao Tao was in good spirits.

This Cao Ren's performance is really as Guo Jia said, which is very different from usual.

In this way, Bao Tao's heart is more confident - this shows that Mr. Guo is right!

At that moment, he saw Bao Tao clear his throat and said to Cao Ren: "Chen Liucheng is inseparable from the general, and I am willing to ask for my life, go out of the city with my brother to help Sikong, please sit in the city, and keep Chen Liu!" ”

After saying a word, he was stunned when he saw Cao Ren.

He pondered left and right, but he never imagined that such a situation would be the case.

Cao Ren stood up, looked at Bao Tao seriously, and just wanted to speak, but saw Bao Zhong on the side hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be impulsive, Tao Shangjun is all tigers, leopards and jackals, just you and me, where is his opponent?" ”

After saying that, he saw Bao Zhong say to Cao Ren: "My brother was reckless for a while, and he collided with the general, and asked the general not to be like him!" ”

When Cao Ren saw Bao Zhong's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

are also brothers, why is there such a big contrast?

However, in this way, Bao Tao's sincerity is even more apparent.

Cao Ren was originally thinking about going out of the city this time, if he let Bao Tao guard the city, then he would take Bao Zhong away, maybe he could also be a hostage, thinking that it was a restriction.

But in the current situation, it seems that it is not needed.

One is that the brothers' performance is sincere enough, and it doesn't seem to be fake at all, but there is no need to make Bao Tao unhappy, and the other is a waste like Bao Zhong, who is easy to affect morale when he is taken out, so leave it for his brother to discipline himself.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren stepped down from the main seat, patted Bao Tao's shoulder, and said, "Good man!" I can't imagine that you are so loyal, Sikong's side, this will be a must go, and no one can dissuade this matter. ”

Bao Tao hurriedly said: "But? ”

Cao Ren raised his palm, interrupted his words, and said: "Chen Liucheng, I have decided to hand it over to your brother, with your governor's military affairs, Ben will rest assured, you are good to protect the city, after Ben will assist Sikong to break the pottery merchant, he will naturally come back, and then I will state the reason to Sikong, explain the misunderstanding between the two of you and Sikong, and let Sikong reuse it for you!" ”

Bao Tao looked at Cao Ren with a smile, but when he was young, he saw him hugging his fist hard, and said to Cao Ren: "General rest assured, the last general will swear to protect Chen Liucheng until death!" ”

In this way, Cao Ren left the military affairs of Chen Liucheng, the governor of Bao Tao, while he led the elite men and horses in the city to go out of the city to help Cao Cao.

However, Cao Ren understands very well that Cao Cao is in a hurry to be attacked by the pottery merchants, and he may not be able to have any huge effect if he goes to the main battlefield to help.

Instead, it is better to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, attack the camp of the pottery merchants, cut off their way back, and then attack from both sides.
