After taking Yuan Tan, the cavalry of the pottery merchant continued to pursue.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the carriage again, the coachman in the carriage was thrown down by Yuan Shang again.

"I'll go, another ...... Tie up and throw the roadside penalty station first! Keep chasing! ”

Seeing this situation, the pottery merchant admired the methods of this third prince of Yuan even more.

There were four people in a car, and he didn't wear pants, but the other three didn't even calculate him, and he was thrown out of the carriage one after another, and he really couldn't do it without a dim sum machine and ability.

The bare cheeks are still like this, and I don't know what kind of evil it is when I wear clothes?

But obviously, Tao Dagongzi and Yuan Sangongzi have no fate this time, and they can't see each other.

According to Fu Zhu's proposal, Yuan Shao sent a strong army, led by the generals Guo Yuan and Wei Yuanjin, to meet his two sons.

Yuan Shang personally drove the carriage, and the whip in his hand was about to take off his hand, but the sky was pitiful, but it happened to let him run into the troops who received him.

There were not many cavalry led by Tao Shang to pursue Yuan Shang this time, and seeing that Yuan Shao had already sent a general to respond, although he felt pity in his heart, he could afford to put it down, and then he and Zhao Yun slowly led the troops to retreat.

After returning to Yishui County, the potters sent their generals to various counties under the Langya Kingdom to stabilize the counties and take the opportunity to pacify the Langya Kingdom.

The Langya Kingdom, which had been thrown out of the hands of the Tao family since eight years ago, finally returned to the arms of the potters after this war.

The potters temporarily sat in Kaiyang and sent people to inquire about the news in the north.

According to the school office's report, at the end of last month, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army had sent troops to Youzhou to support Gongsun Zhan.

The war in Hebei was about to break out, and the pottery merchants wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go north to Qingzhou to get a piece of the pie between Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan.

But the news brought back by the school made the potter quite disappointed, and at the same time, he also had a high opinion of Yuan Shao in his heart.

According to the report of the school, after Zhang Yan, the general of Pingnan Zhonglang, received Gongsun Zhan's request for help, he sent troops to rescue Gongsun Chan in three ways.

But at this time, Gongsun Chan did a big stupid thing.

He sent someone out to send a letter to Zhang Yan, inviting him to attack inside and outside, and asked Zhang Yan to raise fire when he attacked Yuan Shao.

Since the last time Liu Bei broke through the siege, Yuan Shao greatly stepped up his surveillance of Gongsun Zhan, and his Yuan soldiers and soldiers were strictly guarded and successfully hijacked the secret letter sent by Gongsun Zhan to Zhang Yan.

Yuan Shao took all the plans, raised fire in his camp, and successfully lured out Gongsun Zhan, and sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to defeat Gongsun in one fell swoop and behead him.

After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun, he did not stop, while strictly blocking the news, while making a situation that was still surrounding Gongsun Zhan, setting up an ambush, and when Zhang Yan arrived, he ordered Lu Yi to hit the Black Mountain Army hard, Zhang Yan had no choice but to lead the army south.

At this point, Yuan Shao completely pushed off Gongsun Zhan's power in Youzhou and officially became the overlord of the four states of Hebei.

……

Knowing that Yuan Shao had killed Gongsun Zan and repelled Zhang Yan, the potter stopped trying to make small moves, because his rear was not very stable at the moment.

The matter of uniting Cao Cao and plotting against Zhang Xian to rebel against Liu Biao has not yet been implemented, and it is not wise to rush north to confront Yuan Shao at the moment, or it is the best policy to wait and see what happens.

On this day, the potter came to the room where Yuan Tan lived in the county government.

The potters did not treat Yuan Tan lightly, and the food given to Yuan Tan was the best in terms of food, medicine for injuries and living environment.

Yuan Tan's main injury was still the arrow shot by Tai Shi Ci, and the rest of the injuries were the abrasions on the skin that Yuan Shang received when he kicked him off the carriage, and it was not a big deal.

He was resting on the bed at the moment, but he didn't feel sleepy, and when he heard the door "creak", Yuan Tan turned his head to look, but it was the potter who walked in.

Yuan Tan glanced at the potter in a blink of an eye and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

After being captured for many days, he naturally knows who this person in front of him is now.

The potter lowered his head and looked at Yuan Tan for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said: "Poor Yuan's eldest son, the eldest son of Yuan, who will inherit the foundation of General Yuan in the future, has now fallen into such a field, not to mention falling into the hands of the enemy, and being assassinated by his own brother, it is really sad and lamentable." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yuan Tan was so aggrieved that he almost didn't cry.

"A thief surnamed Tao, you made a special trip to make fun of me?"

The potter shook his head and said: "Otherwise, he is the eldest son in the next, and the son is also the eldest son, as the eldest son of the princes, on the surface, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and he can inherit his father's business, but the sourness in it, only you and I know it, as the eldest son of the princes, the burden on this body is really heavy." ”

Although Yuan Tan still didn't answer, there were already waves in his heart.

"Brother Yuan was plotted by his own brother, and now he is in my hands, on the surface, it seems that Tao is a winner, but in fact he is...... Looking at the current state of the son, Tao is also quite empathetic, this world of great controversy is full of dangers, maybe one day the current situation of the son is Tao's situation, what is the sadness of the rabbit and the fox? That's it. ”

The potter is quite talented in his acting ability, and when he said this to Yuan Tan, his voice was full of emotion, and his tone was touching, which made people feel a little crying.

Yuan Tan turned his head and looked at the kindness on the potter's face and the sympathy in his eyes, for some reason, he didn't have any hatred for him in his heart.

In fact, it was mainly after Yuan Shang's plot that Yuan Tan received a major psychological blow...... The humiliation of being so calculated by his brother has been lurking in his heart for a long time.

Now that he suddenly got the condolences and empathy of the potter, compared with Yuan Shang, the enemy of the potter has become more intimate.

At least this person is more suitable to be a brother than Yuan Shang.

……

When he was young, the potter walked out of Yuan Tan's room, and Guo Jia stood outside waiting for him.

As soon as he saw the potter come out, he saw Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Finished talking?" ”

The potter gently rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, he just listened to me chattering there alone." ”

"Some people are in a hurry, especially Yuan Tan is still the eldest son of the Shi clan, if they want to impress him, at least they have to wait for Yuan Shang to gain power...... By the way, there's news from the south. ”

The potter looked at Guo Jia and said, "You mean to plot against Zhang Xian?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Sun Ce sent someone to send a message, saying that Huan Jie had persuaded Zhang Xian, and now Zhang Xian has begun to secretly contact the various departments in Jingnan, at that time, as long as Huan Jie makes a move and guards Sanjiang, Sun Ce and Lu Bu will send troops to attack Huang Zu in Jiangxia County, even if Liu Biao is with 200,000 armor, it will be difficult to get out, and then the internal affairs of Jingzhou alone will be enough for Liu Biao to pick up for three years." ”

The potter let out a long breath, and the pressure in his heart suddenly decreased.

Since inquiring about Xu Jing and saying that Yuan Shao sent people to secretly unite with Liu Biao, Liu Biao's power in the southwest has always been a thorn in the hearts of potters.

To deal with Yuan Shao, the pottery merchant is only forty percent sure at the moment, but if Liu Biao takes advantage of the fire to rob, then I am afraid that even one percent of this certainty will be gone.

"Brother Fengxiao, what do you think I should do next?"

Guo Jia thought carefully for a while, and then said to Tao Shang: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are just children of the Yuan family, easy to deal with, but now Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zhan, and the power has been formed, according to Guo's estimate, when the spring is late next year, Yuan Shao will definitely raise troops to the south!" What we have to do now is to secretly send people to support Sun Ce and Lu Bu on the one hand, and on the other hand, to reorganize the army and war, and hoard ordnance...... In addition, the matter of marrying the Son of Heaven also needs to be done quickly! ”

"Marry the Son of Heaven...... the pottery merchant nodded when he heard this, and said, "Now we have to hurry up and implement this matter." ”
