After Liu Xi ascended the throne, the pottery merchant used Chen Deng as the Shangshu order and Mi Zhu as the Shangshulang, trying to find a way to win over and appease the Jiangnan family, and then sent Lu Su and his eldest brother Tai Shici, Tao Ji and others to lead Xuzhou to defend Pengcheng in the old days and defend Yuan Shao in the north.

And the Sanliu Group is also invariably strong, ready to prepare a real tough battle with the potter.

This battle is inevitable for both sides.

You have to win if you don't fight, and victory or defeat comes second, but you have to do it.

In the face of a puppet clique that is opposed to one's own side, if one does not move a single knife or a shot, and shouts blindly from the air, it will inevitably be a little inferior.

Looking back, this matter falls in the eyes of the people and scholars of the world, and it is not very good-looking.

On the one hand, the potters arranged the layout of the north and the security of the south, and also transferred grain, grass and warships from Jinling City and other places to use them to conquer to the west.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are bordered almost completely, and the border between the two sides is bordered by Jiangxia County to the north and Changsha County to the south.

Now most of Changsha County is controlled by Zhang Xian, a rebel general in Jingzhou, and Zhang Xian belongs to the rebellion of the pottery merchants, so the place where the Jingzhou soldiers and the Jinling army clash will definitely not be in Changsha County.

In this way, the border between Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County will become the main battlefield of this battle.

On the potter's side, he also paid a lot of attention to Liu Biao's intelligence.

It is said that Xichuan Liu Zhang sent General Zhang Ren to lead his troops out of Xichuan Kou, leading 30,000 elites to fight with Liu Biao.

However, for the Sichuan army, the potters were not particularly worried.

Because the junction of Jiangxia County and Yuzhang County is almost a half-waterway situation, and Huang Zu has also hoarded a lot of battlefields in Jiangxia in recent years, so this time the battle is the key to whether the two sides can win.

In the past few years, the pottery merchant has repeatedly clashed with Yuan Shu, and the warships and equipment of the water war have saved a lot of family funds, but as far as he knows, there is no shortage of Liu Biao's side, and this battle can be regarded as evenly matched.

After the grain, grass and warships and ordnance were ready, the potter did not stop, he planned to strike first, and drove his troops straight to the boundary of Jiangxia County.

Since Liu Biao wanted to fight, the potter chose the warship on his home field.

Although the home field has a geographical advantage, but the two armies clash, the scourge is indeed the home territory, and the potters are reluctant to give up their own territory.

After the spring of the first year of Jiankang, on April 15, the pottery merchant sacrificed to the sky in Nanchang City, ordered Tao Ying, Lu Dai to guard the imperial capital of Nanchang, and he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead the edict of the Son of Heaven, and ordered the king of the Han Dynasty to go west, go up the river, and take the Changwu County seat of Jiangxia County.

And Liu Biao gathered troops and horses, sacrificed to the sky in Jiangling, and the three Liu armies went out together with Fu Wan, and went straight to Jiangxia County and Huang Zu to fight with the pottery merchants.

This time, the pottery merchants let all the generals who are good at land warfare guard the Chinese army, and the generals in the front vanguard are all water army generals, including Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, He Qi, Xian Yudan, Song Qian, Jia Hua, Xu Zhong and other twelve generals to lead the water army to divide and rule, echoing with their own army, and marching west by land and water.

But before the expedition, there was a little hiccup in the potter's camp.

There is a general who has come to the potter to ask for an official!

This person is the former battle of Guandu, who surrendered to the pottery merchant's Koji.

When Koji Yi stood in front of the potter, there was no humility on his face, but he was arrogant, coaxing, and not polite at all......

In short, it's very underpumped.

The potter can now understand Yuan Shao's mood back then.

As far as the beating of Koji Yi is concerned, it is strange that the arrogant Yuan Shao doesn't want to kill him.

The potter felt that his heart was open-minded, but in the face of Koji, he still had the urge to press his face to the ground and rub it.

There's no reason what's just trying to rub him.

In this world, without saying a word, there are really not many people who will be picked up just by looking at their virtues.

"The last general has seen the prime minister." Koji Yi arched his hand, and his words were polite, but he couldn't really hear it in his tone.

The potter gently flicked the dust on his sleeve and said, "It turns out that Koji Gong came here today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Ko Yi was unceremonious and said bluntly: "Cheng is quite at the beginning, what will he promise to come to the end?" ”

The Tao merchant gently touched his chin, pondered carefully for a while, and said: "Tao has made a lot of wishes in his life, and there are many things that he promised to others, I don't know which one General Koji is talking about?" ”

Lu Yi stared at the pottery merchant tightly and said: "When the last general first returned to the prime minister, the prime minister promised the last general that he would support the Son of Heaven to ascend the throne in the future. ”

The potter smiled secretly in his heart, and the memory of this guy is quite good.

He pretended to think carefully for a while, and said quietly: "It seems that there is such a thing, right?" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Then I don't know when the prime minister will fulfill his promise to the last general?" ”

"But it doesn't seem to be like that." The potter's quiet road.

Ko Yi's eyes suddenly widened: "Prime Minister! Think about it again! How could it not be? ”

"Yes or no? I can't remember, my mind is so messy. ”

Koji took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

This is him, replaced by someone else, Koji Yi kicked and broke his balls.

"Taifu, don't you want to deceive the last general!" Koji was visibly upset.

The potter smiled slightly and said, "General Koji really doesn't know how to tease, I coax you to play, you can't hear it?" ”

!

How old is Lao Tzu!

Coaxing with you?

Are you pretending to be my father?

The pottery merchant sighed and explained: "Actually, I still have a free post for the general of Zhengbei here, and he has been waiting for a vacant position, which is originally reserved for the general......

Koji almost didn't shout out directly when he heard this.

Then you should hurry up and issue an edict!

You're still grinding your here!

Looking at the anxious look on his face, the potter said slowly: "It's just that I'm afraid that the generals will not be convinced." ”

Koji Yi glared when he heard this, and said, "Why are you not convinced?" ”

"Because the general hasn't made any great achievements."

Koji almost jumped up out of breath when he heard this.

"Prime Minister, this is a bit of a loss of conscience! In the original battle of Guandu, if there was no last general, how could Tao Cao's two armies defeat Yuan Shao? If there is no self, I am afraid that the Central Plains and Xuzhou are now in the hands of Yuan Shao. ”

The smile on the potter's face remained the same, but he felt ...... in his heart It's very unpleasant.

Sure enough, Ko Yi fought in the battle of Guandu, and he was quite proud of his achievements.

In his heart, he felt that if it weren't for his righteousness, he and Cao Cao might have been destroyed by Yuan Shao a long time ago.

He now sees himself as a benefactor of the potter.

If he continues to have this mentality, how will he manage the team in the future?

Tao Shang made up his mind in his heart, and said angrily: "Tao naturally knows the general's exploits, the problem is to offer advice, the generals don't know, the general has just arrived, if you want to be a good general in the north, at least you have to establish some merits that can convince everyone, right?" Is it possible, I forcibly made the general a general, if anyone is not convinced, I can still kill them all? ”

Koji Yi said in a loud voice: "Then kill them all, what can you do?" ”

"General Koji, be sensible...... Speak with a face. ”

Koji Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay! The prime minister's words, the last general understands! Isn't it meritorious service? This time the west expedition to Jingzhou, the prime minister's soldiers and horses are divided into two waterways, the vanguard of the waterway will be the prime minister has been selected, the last general is willing to be the front vanguard of the land war, to make contributions to serve everyone, I don't know if the prime minister thinks it is feasible? ”

The potter said slowly: "Yes, yes, but you have to make a military order, after all, it is the first battle to conquer the puppet dynasty, and there is no room for loss." ”

"Stand up! Come on, bring pen and paper! ”
