Although Gongsun Chan was very confused by Liu Bei's request, he finally agreed to Liu Bei's request.

After all, the current Liu Bei is his right-hand man, and from the perspective of dealing with Liu Yu alone, Liu Bei's role in it is far beyond the scope of Gongsun Zhan's own ability.

is about to deal with Yuan Shao, no matter how you look at it, Liu Bei can use it.

Therefore, no matter what Liu Bei wants to do, Gongsun Chan will support him without hesitation.

Gongsun Chan is now the assassin of Youzhou, and he was also enthroned by the Son of Heaven to have the power to control the four states, so Gongsun Chan is qualified to appoint the positions of General Xianbei Zhonglang and General Fuhun Zhonglang.

Liu Bei was appointed by Gongsun Zan to hold both positions at the same time!

……

When the news returned to the Central Plains, it was about the same time that the potters returned to Pengcheng.

The potters could not return to Jinling City for the time being.

At present, Tao Qian is seriously ill, Pengcheng may be uncertain at any time, and the pottery merchant must stay in Xuzhou to preside over the overall situation.

Most of the soldiers and generals in Jinling were sent back to Jinling City by the pottery merchants to garrison and rectify, but he left the two most elite soldiers and horses, the Tiger Guards and the Danyang Elite Soldiers.

At the same time, the potter also left Guo Jia, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici to assist him in Pengcheng.

Chen Deng and the rest of the generals returned to Jinling City to set up defenses, and before he left, the pottery merchant asked Chen Deng to send a message to Han Hao, asking him to invite Zhang Ji from Jinling City to Pengcheng to see Tao Qian's doctor.

A few days later, Zhang Ji arrived in Xuzhou, and the pottery merchant did not dare to delay, so he immediately asked him to diagnose Tao Qian.

For the Tao brothers, whether Zhang Ji's diagnosis is successful or not is the last hope for Tao Qian's recovery.

After all, in terms of medical treatment for internal diseases, Zhang Ji can be called a medical benchmark figure in this era, and Hua Tuo may not be able to compare with him.

"Doctor Zhang, how is my father's illness?"

Facing the expectant eyes of the potter and Tao Ying, Zhang Ji's expression looked very heavy.

"Tao Jun's longevity is about to end, his body is weakened and his internal losses are damaged, and he has been irritable for many years, hurting his heart and spirit, and he is afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky...... However, if it is appropriate to take medicine to supplement, it may be possible to prolong the life expectancy a little, but how long it can last depends on the will of God. ”

Listening to Zhang Ji's words, the last glimmer of hope in the potter's heart was cut off.

Compared with the city government of the pottery merchants, Tao Ying is obviously still a lot worse.

The kid grabbed Zhang Ji's hand and jumped to his feet anxiously: "You are talking nonsense! My father's body has always been tough! Where will there be a sudden loss of life? What kind of miracle doctor are you who diagnose and treat indiscriminately! ”

The pottery merchant stretched out his hand and dragged Tao Ying away, and shook his head at him: "Second brother, don't be rude." ”

Zhang Ji can understand the current mood of the Tao brothers, and in the face of Tao Ying, who is unscrupulous, he is not angry, but just smiled bitterly and laughed at himself helplessly.

"I've really tried my best, second son...... The name of the miracle doctor is just a random call by the world, it can't be true, it is not a miracle doctor at all, even if it is, the miracle doctor is not a fairy...... Birth, old age, sickness and death are beyond the power of manpower. ”

Tao Ying's tears fell instantly.

Tao Shang knew in his heart that with Zhang Ji's heart and compassion, if he could save Tao Qian, he would definitely not let it go.

Zhang Zhongjing is right, after all, a doctor is just a doctor, not a prince of Yama - he can cure diseases, but he can't cure life.

"The second brother is in a hurry, and he is offended by what he says, so don't take it to heart...... Please help my father prescribe medicine. ”

Zhang Ji said "No", then went to find pen and ink, and began to blindly prescribe medicine.

The potter looked at him prescribing medicine, and said, "Divine doctor, our Jinling City, how is the medical department in the official school now?" How many students are there? ”

Since the potter detained Zhang Ji in Jinling City, Jinling City was funded by the county guard, and single-handedly established an official school and set up a medical office in it.

The position of honorary principal is naturally held by the potter himself, but the head of the subjects of the hospital of the medical department is Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, there are a lot of people, but the scholars who came here are all civilians, and the children of the scholars are almost ......."

This was expected by the potters.

In this era, who will go to the doctor if they can be an official?

He smiled lightly and said, "It's normal for people in the scholar clan to be reluctant to study medicine, so it's okay...... Civilians come to study, as long as they have good qualifications and clean net worth, they can be admitted as appropriate, and those who cannot afford to pay the tuition fee can not pay the tuition fee...... If you go back and find Zhang Hong, the county will manage the assets...... A few students studying medicine, I Jinling City, can still afford to raise them. ”

Zhang Ji listened, although he didn't say anything, but he was quite moved in his heart.

Among the existing scholars, the only people who can understand and respect the way of medicine in this way are potters besides themselves.

After the prescription was prescribed, Zhang Ji immediately went to grab the medicine.

Tao Ying was thinking about his father in his heart, and he also followed Zhang Ji with him.

In fact, Tao Ying followed, except for adding to the chaos, he couldn't help at all, but the potter still let him do it.

The pain of losing his father is about to be, and only he, the authority, can understand Tao Ying's feelings.

But he can't be as willful as Tao Ying, there is still a big mess in Xuzhou at the moment, and he needs to come forward to solve it.

The pottery merchant went to the council hall, and in the main hall, there were already many civil and military officers from Jinling City and Pengcheng waiting for him.

Guo Jia presented the report of the school office to the pottery merchants, which clearly stated that Liu Bei had been appointed and dismissed by Gongsun Zan as the general of Fuhun Zhonglang and the general of Xianbei Zhonglang, and was fully responsible for the affairs of foreign races.

Tao Shang quietly looked at the report for a while, and suddenly said: "Liu Xuande, he is really a smart person, if he continues to mix with Gongsun Zhan, it is really not good for his reputation, and now he can only go to a foreign land to negotiate as a foreign envoy, if he can solve some of the threats of Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu for the Han to a certain extent, maybe in the near future, he can also end up with the reputation of a national hero...... In this way, it may offset the notoriety of Liu Yu's accomplice. ”

Guo Jia sighed and said: "Liu Bei is a thoughtful person, although he has no foundation, but he has the ability, he is a Zhonglang general of the alien race in the north, will he collude with foreign races to invade the hinterland and bring disaster to me to Middle-earth?" ”

The potter pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Absolutely not! ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

How could this kid have so much confidence in Liu Bei?

Guo Jia looked at the potter suspiciously, and said, "Why is Taifu so sure?" ”

Hearing this, the pottery merchant smiled and said, "I know that Liu Bei is an ambitious person, but ambition is replaced by another way, which is the so-called great ambition!" Ambition is not a bad thing, everyone has ambition, but some ambitious people have no bottom line in doing things, then it is not advisable...... But I don't think Liu Bei is that kind of person. ”

After a pause, the potter continued to affirm: "Liu Bei has the potential to be a hero, he will work hard to deal with all the princes of the world, but he will never go to the country and the people. ”

Although they didn't understand that the potters were so sure, Guo Jia and the others still recognized the potters' words.

It's not that they recognize Liu Bei, but they recognize the potter's eyesight.

I don't know why.

There were some things that the potters couldn't tell them very clearly.

Liu Bei is a hero, and in some ways, he is indeed a hero.

Gongsun Zhan's younger brother, Tao Qian gave up the country, called Lu Bu a brother and brother, and Cao Cao Qingmei cooked wine, let Yuan Shao fold and greet each other, and was cited by Liu Biao as the same sect, let Sun Quan promise his sister, and let Zhuge Liang do his best.

From self-made to making friends with the world's heroes, Liu Bei's indomitable spirit is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is admirable.

Such a man, he will at most become a ruthless hero, but he will never become a beast that brings disaster to the country and the people!

The potter believes that Liu Bei has a bottom line.

But even if the potter knew that Liu Bei had his shining point, he had to go to the scourge of Liu Bei.

Speaking from the heart, the last time the pottery merchant scourged Liu Bei, he was even more diligent than he was to deal with Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei at that time was not hostile to the potter, but the potter's shot was still ruthless.

This is not because he has any personal prejudices against Liu Bei, but for the sake of the overall situation, he has to do it.

In the perception of the potters, from the perspective of social development, Liu Bei and Sun Quan in history, and even Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, were important factors in undermining social stability.

If it weren't for their stubborn resistance in the Battle of Chibi, it is very likely that Middle-earth at that time would have ushered in a new period of peace thirteen years after Jian'an.

And because of their personal desires and behaviors that want to prove their own worth, the world, which was already close to the trend of unification, has become a situation of separation between the three kingdoms, and the civil war has been consumed for no reason for 72 years, almost a century.

People who have died in this century! Regressive social productivity! Weak economic development! I can't estimate it at all.

Liu Bei is a person who is persevering and indomitable, and he does have the ambition to support the Han family and his unique personality charm in his heart, and the potters appreciate these advantages of him.

However, his perseverance is a serious obstacle to the completion of the great unification of the current society.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei is a hero or a hero, history has proved that Liu Bei does not have a talent like Cao Cao, and can probably dominate the troubled times.

But he is an important factor that can continue the troubled times.

Therefore, the potter's treatment of Liu Bei can be described as surprisingly ruthless, and even a little ruthless makes the potter himself feel pitiful for Liu Bei.

In order to end the troubled times as soon as possible, the potters had to do this.

"Continue to send people to monitor Liu Bei's movements, and report any news to me at any time." The potter instructed Guo Jia.

The potter was interested in Liu Bei, and Guo Jia had known it for a long time, so it was not surprising.

"One more thing." Guo Jia continued to Tao Shang: "After Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he ordered Gao Gan to continue to pacify the counties of Bingzhou and recruit soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to be the governor, mobilize soldiers and horses, and go to the plain. ”

Since Liu Bei left the plain, this place has been in a vacuum, and now Yuan Shao preemptively sent his eldest son to lead the troops to station, which is self-evident.

The potter touched his chin and said, "Yuan Tan is stationed in the plains, so it seems that Yuan Shao is going to make a move on Qingzhou?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "That's right." ”

"Then quickly send someone to inform Gongsun Zan that Tao needs to eliminate Zang Ba now, and then unify the entire Yangzhou, and he can't spare the energy to take care of Qingzhou's affairs."

Hearing the potter mention Zang Ba, Cao Bao stood up and bowed to him: "Grand Duke...... How does Taifu plan to deal with Zang Ba? ”

Tao Shang smiled and said: "Originally, I didn't do anything to him, because we didn't have strong strength, but now our Xuzhou and Jinling City, if we want to have soldiers, we want to have generals, and we will directly send troops to Langya County...... Just run over it. ”

It was surprising to the courtiers that the potters rarely resorted to such a direct strategy of forcible seizure by their opponents.

Only Guo Jia understands in his heart.

At present, the situation is tense, Xuzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is not much time left for potters, so they must start to use strong measures in a big way.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia went out of class and admonished: "Guo has a way to catch Zang Ba off guard and quickly pacify Langya County, but he is afraid of Taifu and Ling Zun, so he refuses to agree......"

The potter looked at him and said, "Tell me?" ”

Guo Jia cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Tao Jun wants to hold a big wedding in Taifu next month, and the wedding period is the day of the big celebration of the entire Xuzhou, with Guo Moudu, Zang Ba would never have thought that our army would ......attack Kaiyang when Taifu got married."

When the potter heard this, he suddenly said, "This is a good idea!" ”

Guo Jia smiled awkwardly and said, "The problem is, this matter is to use the knife during the marriage period...... Can Tao Jun agree? ”
