As the potters had reacted, Liu Bei and Pang's strategy at the beginning of the unification was to use Jiangling City as the base as the front line of defense in the north.

In fact, it is true that only by using the topography of Gangneung City can the Tao army in the north be defended.

After the Battle of Chibi in history, Liu Bei occupied part of the territory of Jingzhou.

In the years that Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou until he entered Sichuan, the reason why Jingzhou has been able to block Cao Cao in the north is that in addition to the weakening of Cao Cao's power after the Battle of Chibi and Sun Quan's support for him, the most subjective is that Liu Bei has always used to fight Cao Cao's forward position is Jiangling.

The special topography of Jiangling allowed Liu Bei to hold the gate of Jingnan steadily, even if Cao Cao's troops and territory far surpassed him.

At present, the wheel of the times has changed, but after the situation has come to this point, the potter found that Liu Bei is still following the old road of history.

But this step is really very difficult.

According to Cai Mao, he wanted the pottery merchants to be in a hurry, taking advantage of the morale of pacifying Jingbei and quickly pacifying the south, so as not to make preparations for Liu Bei and Pang Tong and be discovered in the future.

But after careful consideration, the potter thought about it and thought differently.

Since Liu Bei and Pang Tong had calculated that Xiangyang would be lost sooner or later, the strategy based on Jiangling City to block the northern army was only finalized by Liu Bei and Pang Tong a long time ago.

At the moment, he is in a hurry, and it is estimated that Gangneung City is also heavily guarded, and in this situation, it is better to consolidate the territory in his hands first.

Six years of Jiankang is a leap forward for potters.

In this year, he pacified the Central Plains, subdued Jingbei, drove Cao Cao to Guanzhong, and drove Liu Bei to Jingnan.

In this year, he completely established the position of the overlord of the world.

But the territory expanded so quickly that the potters felt a little indigestion.

He decided to use the remaining months of Jiankang's six years to consolidate his territory and replan the policy of the territory under his jurisdiction.

But the potter stopped, but the others did not stop for a while.

In August of the sixth year of Jiankang, Cai Mao's naval army formed in Jingbei went down the river and went to Jiangxia County to aid Lu Su and Tao Ying and others.

In October of the sixth year of Jiankang, Zhuge Liang designed to break Liu Bei and Huang Zu in Jiangxia County, Huang Zu died in battle, Liu Bei's army was defeated and retreated to Jiangling, and Pang Tong would make peace with him.

In November of the sixth year of Jiankang, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others all occupied the realm of Jiangxia, and Cui Jun, who had just returned to Liu Bei's command, Meng Jian and the others surrendered.

In fact, it is also normal, Liu Bei is now only a state in his hands, how can he compete with the pottery merchants? In addition to the original die-hard fans under his command, how could these people who had just joined his command put their lives on the line for him? At best, it's just a little bit of a representation.

After all, for Liu Bei, he is no longer in the general trend.

At the same time, news also came from Guanzhong, Cao Cao successfully entered Hanzhong in December of the sixth year of Jiankang, Zhang Lu led the people to surrender, and the allies of the pottery merchants, Li Ru and Dong Bai, were once again missing.

Cao Cao's strategy of developing into Hanzhong was quite beyond the expectations of the potters.

According to his understanding of Cao Cao, he should have looked for an opportunity to counterattack back to the Central Plains from Hangu Pass, but he never expected that he would actually change direction and kill Xichuan.

But no matter what kind of tactics Cao Cao is now, for the potter, this year's things have passed, and now it is the time of the New Year, no matter what ideas he has, he will implement them in the seventh year of Jiankang.

All relatives and important subordinates gathered in Xuchang, and everyone was waiting to spend this festival together.

Tao Qian, Wang Yun, Diao Chan, Mi Zhen, Lu Lingqi, Zhen Mi, Yuan Wan, Erqiao, Tao Lin and others all came to Xuchang from Xuzhou.

Tao Hua's illness is not conducive to walking, so she can only stay in Pengcheng for the festival.

As for Xiao Liu Xi, he is now six years old, although he is still young, but he is extremely filial, he voluntarily chose to stay in Pengcheng to serve his mother, and he was filial piety in front of the bed.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xuchang City held a feast, and the family of the potter, including the close ministers in the city, spent the festival together, a joyful scene.

The female dependents are in the inner house, and the close ministers are in the outer hall, which can be described as very lively.

"Father, father-in-law, the child toasts you with a glass of wine, and wishes you the second elder immortal eternal blessing and longevity."

Listening to the pottery merchant's New Year's greetings, Tao Qian and Wang Yun, the two old men, were happy.

But anyone who asks for immortals and cultivates immortality, there is no one who doesn't like these two words.

This is a collection of the essence of China's 2,000-year-old way of cultivating immortals.

Not to mention that these two are not ashamed, even the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect can't bear it.

Tao Qian raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it has been more than ten years since you went to fight Dong Zhuo...... You have also grown from an ignorant child back then to the pillar of my Tao family...... Alas, son. How old are you this year, how old are you? ”

The muscles in the potter's face twitched.

This father is the one, and it is estimated that the whole world will not be able to pick out the second one.

"Father, the child is Chinese New Year's Eve today."

Tao Qian nodded suddenly: "Are you thirty-one?" Alas, yes, yes, and it is really good to be able to achieve such a great cause in the first year, better than your Lao Tzu. ”

"Where is the child far from his father...... After all, you are all people in the fairy circle, and we are not of the same grade. ”

"Hahahaha!" Tao Qian gently stroked his beard, laughed heartily, and got up and gave the potter a kick.

"Bastard, the old man is so old, don't you still understand that you are abusing the old man?"

Wang Yun put down the wine cup and said, "Shang'er." ”

The potter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he felt goosebumps fall to the ground.

Let Wang Yun call himself like this, there is really an indescribable feeling.

After Wang Yun finished speaking, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and then changed his tone.

"Zidu, now that the Central Plains and Jingbei have also been pacified, how long is it until the whole world is peaceful?"

The potter gently scratched at his hair, searched carefully, and then held out a finger.

"One year." The potter said lightly.

"A year?" Tao Qian and Wang Yun were both stunned.

"A year, is it possible?" Tao Qian said uncertainly.

The potter nodded and said, "First settle Jingchu, and then level Luoyang and Chang'an, as long as these two places are captured, Xichuan can be passed on, and this child still knows this." ”

Wang Yun's expression was a little excited: "Zidu, how sure are you of this?" ”

"Probably...... Seven or eight points. ”

Wang Yun nodded with emotion, and said: "That's good, that's good, if that's the case, then it's great, I can't imagine that the old man can be lucky enough to see the day of peace in the world, and he has to go back to see both before he dies......"

The potter frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the old man means that he is really happy to see this peaceful and grand occasion in his lifetime...... Haha, the old man is happy. ”
