Chapter 223: You Send a Letter and I'll Reply (Fourth Update)
The fact that Jinling City did not have a naval army as a barrier, after the completion of the Wet Dock Fortress, Chen Deng and Guo Jia respectively admonished him.
The potter also knew the seriousness of the matter.
If this matter really reached the point of being out of control, then he could only rely on Gan Ning and Zhou Tai and other water thieves of the Yangtze River.
The potter immediately wrote a letter in person and sent someone to deliver it to Gan Ning instead of him.
It's better to prepare early.
In addition to sending a letter to Gan Ning, the potter also asked Chen Deng to choose a diplomat-friendly official to go to Xiangyang in Jingzhou instead of him.
He asked the famous official to replace himself to persuade Liu Biao, the Jingzhou boss who is now in the middle of the day.
Within a few days of the completion of the Wet Whisker Dock, Yuan Shu's army, under his own command, arrived at the plain position to the west of the Wet Whisker Dock, and camped according to the upstream water level, approaching the Wet Whisker Dock where the potters and others were located.
After Yuan Shu set up camp, he sent someone to send a letter of war to the pottery merchant.
This letter is not so much a war letter as a letter of coercion and temptation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a forced letter.
Yuan Shu's words in the letter were extremely arrogant, he first reprimanded the pottery merchant's Danyang Taishou for his unrighteous name, but was enshrined by the traitor Dong Zhuo, and then solemnly proposed that Wu Jingcai should be a reasonable candidate for Danyang Taishou after his own promotion, and he came this time, one is to retrieve Danyang County for Wu Jing, which should not be managed by the pottery merchant.
Second, Yuan Shu also reprimanded the pottery merchant for colluding with Yuan Shao's rebels, being willing to be dogs and horses, obeying the command of Yuan Shao's rebels, and even intending to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, which is really a big rebellion.
Third, he claimed to be leading 100,000 elite soldiers this time, invincible, a group of thieves tied up, before attacking Danyang County in the east, where the soldiers and horses went, it can be said that they were invincible, Yuan Shu even bragged in the letter that with his current strength, it was completely impossible to level three or five Danyang counties.
In the end, Yuan Shu made a profound summary, hoping that the potters could judge the situation and give it to Danyang County, so as to protect the old and young in the county.
If the potters could understand the surrender of the current affairs, Yuan Shu would see the face of the former alliance against Dong Zhuo, and would make the potters a rich man and rich for life.
If the potter is obsessed, then I'm sorry, on the day of the destruction of Jinling City, the chickens and dogs are not left, the people and animals do not exist, and the potter himself has to be thrown into the lungs, broken bones and tendons.
The tone in Yuan Shu's letter was extremely arrogant, looking at the tone in his letter, it seemed that he was already winning, and the potter and the others were already like fish on the chopping board at this moment, allowing him to slaughter at will.
There is no one in sight, and even this.
Listening to Yuan Shu's envoy finish his belief, others haven't done anything yet, and Xu Chu couldn't help it for the first time.
But seeing the tiger idiot striding forward, he grabbed the messenger by the neck, pulled him in front of him, glared at him viciously, and roared angrily: "Yuan Shu thief, dare to do this? Look at a certain family who first hacked you, the vassal traitor who sent the letter, and then kill Yuan Shu in the next day! ”
After saying that, he saw Xu Chu pull out the knife in his waist and make a gesture to chop the messenger's head.
When the messenger saw this posture, he immediately became anxious, and while he struggled ineffectively, he said in a panic: "The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed!" Don't cut it! ”
Xu Chu slammed a mouthful on the ground, and said in a humble voice: "Don't cut it?" Then you can hold eggs, right? It's useless to say anything else! A certain family has to change this rule today. ”
"Stay in the middle of nowhere!" Chen Deng hurriedly got up, shouted to stop Xu Chu, and said: "The two armies clash, don't kill the envoy, the other party is right, Zhong Kang must not make a mistake, so as not to end up in the world." ”
Although Xu Chu was still angry when he heard this, he still recovered a little and knew a little, he stopped his hand angrily and turned his head to look at the potter.
The potter didn't have the slightest anger, he just nodded calmly and said lightly: "What Chen Deng said is not wrong, Zhongkang, you let him down." ”
Xu Chu didn't accept anyone, but he regarded the words of the potter as a holy decree, and when he saw that he said so, he was no longer embarrassed for the messenger, but seeing that the tiger idiot threw the messenger in his hand casually, he directly threw the messenger into a fart squat, and he himself stood aside with a snort.
The potter looked at the messenger with a smile and smiled, "I'm sorry to frighten you." ”
The messenger sat on the ground, still immersed in the fear of Shicai at the moment, and hurriedly got up when he heard the words, and said while making a gesture: "No, no, Tao Gongzi is polite." ”
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the other party did not call himself the prince of the house, obviously not recognizing his identity as the county guard of Danyang.
"The generals under my command are a little excited, their tempers are a little irritable, they are not as good as Tao, so the envoy laughs, don't blame it."
The messenger shook his head vigorously when he heard this, unable to speak, but his mood had calmed down.
The pottery merchant took a scroll of slips, picked up the pen and began to write on it, and said to the messenger while writing: "The so-called come and not be rude, Yuan Gong is so gracious, to write to me, Tao is not very grateful, I also make a book here, the annoying messenger for Tao to bring back, face to Yuan Gong, just said Yuan Gong's kindness, Tao received it, only to use this book and Yuan Gong as a thanks, talk about the heart, and ask Yuan Gong to read it carefully." ”
The envoy didn't dare to say a word at this moment, he took the potter's letter, thanked the potter repeatedly, and then flew out of the potter's barracks.
Looking at the vanishing back of the messenger, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the potter's mouth.
……
……
After returning to Yuan Shu's camp, the envoy did not dare to stay, and went directly to Yuan Shu's Chinese army commander's tent.
At this moment, Yuan Shu was gathering all the civil and military forces in the tent to discuss how to attack the important matter of the Wet Whisker Dock, and when he heard that the messenger had returned, he immediately ordered someone to call him into the tent.
When he was young, he saw the messenger running into the tent with an embarrassed face.
Seeing the envoy's pale face, Yuan Shu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said strangely: "What? Such an embarrassing look? Isn't that the potter embarrassed you? ”
The envoy calmed down his apprehension and respectfully replied to Yuan Shu: "Back to the general's words, the generals under the command of the pottery merchant learned the meaning of the general's letter, and they were all annoyed and angry, especially one named Xu Chu, and even wanted to kill his subordinates, but he was stopped by the pottery merchants, and his subordinates were under the protection of the pottery merchants, so they escaped to death by luck, so that they could come back alive." ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It seems that Yuan Mou still looks down on this potter, he is young, and his cultivation is very good, the content of Yuan's letter is deliberately not very polite, just to force him to fight, I can't see that this kid is a bit of a city, and he is actually very polite to you? …… He's really not angry at all? ”
The envoy nodded vigorously and said: "Not only is he not angry at all, but he is also gentle to his subordinates, so relieved, to be honest, among his subordinates, the name of the pottery merchant is really worthy of his name, this young man is really a gentleman...... Oh, by the way, the potter also asked his subordinates to bring back a reply letter to the general. ”
Yuan Shu was surprised when he heard this, and said with his forehead: "Okay!" There are comings and goings, but the Tao kid is a ...... who understands the rules Yang Hong, go and bring the letter, read it to Yuan, and see what this Tao gentleman has to say to Yuan. ”
Under Yuan Shu's account, the strategist Yang Hong heard the words and took the letter from the potter's hand and expanded it.
Yang Hong was just about to read it, but after reading the first sentence, he saw that his eyes suddenly widened, his face was full of shock, his mouth was open and closed, and he couldn't read it anymore.
Yuan Shu waited for a long time, but Yang Hong didn't make a sound, and he was a little dissatisfied: "What are you doing?" Why don't you still read and don't know how to read? ”
Yang Hong glanced at Yuan Shu cautiously, and said embarrassedly: "General, it's just a reply, there's nothing to read, I think it's not too late for you to read it in person after the discussion." ”
"No way!" Yuan Shu didn't seem to be able to read the hidden meaning of Yang Hong's words, and said proudly: "Just read it now!" I'll listen to it! I just want to see how big this kid is, he can still be so calm and calm after being humiliated like me, hehe, Yuan is a little interested in him now. ”
When Yang Hong heard this, his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling, and he said in his heart If you read this, I'm afraid you won't be interested in him immediately.
But looking at Yuan Shu's arrogant expression, as well as the curious looks of the generals next to him, Yang Hong also knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, so he could only slowly read out the content of the letter to everyone present.
"Yuan Shu, I'll you......"
"Bang dang!"
Before he finished reading a sentence, he saw Yuan Shu in the other side of the carriage fall directly from the couch, and almost didn't fall into a.
"General!"
"Lord!"
Zhang Xun and Ji Ling hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yuan Shu up from the ground.
Yuan Shu helped the slightly crooked helmet on the door of his head, looked around, and suddenly strode forward, kicked Yang Hong on the heel, and became angry: "Bastard thing!" How dare you scold me! Looking for death? ”
Yang Hong stood up with a roll of his feet, and shouted at Yuan Shu with all his might: "General, you are wrong to blame your subordinates, what your subordinates just read is the content of the letter written to you by the pottery merchant!" It's not what I say! General, subordinates will not dare in the future! The letter ...... The letter ...... You see? ”
Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong viciously, then turned his head and glared at the messenger who came back with the letter, pointed at Ji Ling, and said, "Ji Ling, you read!" ”
Ji Ling is a military general, born a strong man, and is not afraid of others.
But seeing that this husband directly took the slip from Yang Hong's hand, he was not afraid of anything, and read aloud at the top of his voice: "Yuan Shu, I'll you!" Do you write to me in anger? A gentleman takes revenge, never overnight! You are angry with me today, and I have to take advantage of this breath to come back today......"
Inside the tent, there was silence and fallen leaves could be heard.
The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched, turned his head to look at the trembling messenger, and sneered: "This is the gentleman you say, this is what you say is cultivated?" That's what you say not angry at all? ”
The messenger was already completely stupid at the moment, he looked at Yuan Shu in a daze, and muttered, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like this...... He, he did look like he was okay just now......"
Yuan Shu didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head to Ji Ling and said, "Keep reading!" ”
Ji Ling didn't have much eyesight, and continued with a big grin: "Yuan Shu, you said in your letter that my Danyang Taishou is not worthy of the name, and Wu Jingcai should be Danyang Taishou, but the problem is that Wu Jing has already been crippled, he is stupid, bedridden, what is the use of him worthy of his name?" ”
Yuan Shu's face became darker and darker.
"I'm really not afraid to tell you that Wu Jing was abolished by someone I found! Your grandfather Tao is looking for someone to scrap! What do you think? Hahaha! You have the ability to bite me! ”
Yuan Shu: "......"
