Xun Yu's actions made Cao Ren feel very incomprehensible.

What's the way to play?

If you want to come, don't let people come, and if you don't want to come, you force people to come?

Is it so capricious?

Facing Cao Ren's puzzled eyes, Xun Yu explained to him: "Actually, Xun's main consideration is whether these people can be trusted. ”

"What can be trusted or not?"

Xun Yu said lightly: "At this time, the generals summoned by the counties of the Central Plains are second in terms of combat power and quantity, but the key is availability!" It is necessary to ensure that they will not plot against Xuchang, so that they can use it boldly and with confidence, otherwise there will be strong enemies outside and disasters inside, and the city will be lost sooner or later. ”

Cao Ren is not an idle person, he heard the strings and was elegant, and immediately thought of a deeper level.

"What Xun Gong means is that among these people, although some of them are sincere to help defend Xuchang City, there will also be people who are bewitched by the pottery merchants and secretly collude with the pottery thieves, which will be detrimental to us?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "That's what I'm afraid of, so Xun Mou found those who didn't want to go back to Xuchang City, they may not have a high fighting spirit, but they are relatively safe, and they don't have those bad intentions." ”

Cao Ren frowned and said, "But if these people are willing to come to assist in the defense, what if they want to take the opportunity to return to the potter?" ”

Xun Yu laughed and said: "There are only two kinds of people who don't come to Xuchang, one is not afraid of Tao Jun, and they really dare to protect the county seat, and these people are available!" The other is like what the general said, just wait for the potter army to come, and then observe the direction of the wind, and choose who to defect to according to the situation. ”

Cao Ren lowered his head and pondered, it seemed that this was really the case.

Anyway, when it comes to resourcefulness and speculation, a hundred of them are not worth one of him.

How he arranges, how he listens.

……

Two days later, Er Bao received an official military requisition order from Xuchang in Xiangli County.

However, the letter did not let them go to Xuchang, but asked them to go to Chenliu to station.

Er Bao hurriedly invited Guo Jia.

When Guo Jia saw the order, he first smiled slightly, and then sighed: "Half and half." ”

Bao Tao said inexplicably: "What is half and half?" ”

Guo Jia explained to him with a smile: "Half of it was my guess that I was right, this so-called method of inquiry is really Xun Yu's trick...... But what I didn't expect was that he didn't summon you to Xuchang, but asked you to go to Chenliu...... That's kind of interesting. ”

Bao Tao and Bao Zhong's heads are like paste, with their wisdom, they really can't understand it.

Guo Jia slowly walked back and forth in the tent for two steps, and said: "Xun Wenruo, Xun Wenruo, he really divided the city and defended it, grabbed a few cities, and used it to save the situation of the entire Central Plains, it was really powerful...... Okay, then I'll have a good fight with you. ”

After saying that, he saw Guo Jia turn his head to look at Bao Tao and said, "In this case, let's go to Chen Liucheng, and I'll see what other means Xun Yu can use next!" ”

When Bao Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.

This kid is going with us?

Isn't that a fuss!

He is the number one mastermind under the command of the potter, if people recognize him, won't he be a death?

And his own brother will not get anything good to go!

Bao Zhong's throat rolled, he swallowed softly and spit, and said: "Mr. Guo, you are a descendant of Prime Minister Tao Cheng, if you go to Chen Liu, if people recognize you, what should you do?" How should we explain to the prime minister when we go back? ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "This is also true." ”

He turned his head, looked around, and finally pointed to a bearded guard and said, "You, come here!" ”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then tiptoed to Guo Jia, the man with a big waist and a round waist was like a frightened rabbit.

"Bring the knife!" Guo Jia said lazily.

The bearded man's legs and feet suddenly weakened in fright.

"First, sir! I'm not at fault, why did you kill me? I haven't even spoken to you before! ”

"Don't move! Who's going to kill you! Guo Jia frowned, grabbed the bearded man's long beard, and cut off a few sections with a knife.

After cutting, Guo Jia smiled and compared the beard to his chin, as if three strands of long beard had grown out of thin air, and said, "How is it?" Isn't that invisible? ”

Seeing this, Erbao couldn't help wiping his sweat.

This Mr. Guo ......

Are you blind when you are Cao Jun?

……

Four days later, the Chinese army of the potters arrived at the realm of Zhongzhou.

As far as the eye can see, a flat river, a loess land, a great beautiful mountains and rivers.

After receiving the Central Plains, the world will be in my hands.

The potter clenched his fists tightly, tilted his head and closed his eyes, and a smile of pleasure appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Report!"

After a short time, he saw Pei Qian coming to the pottery merchant's side and reported: "Prime Minister, the enemy's eastward direction has been clearly explored. ”

"How? How the enemy forces were deployed. ”

"Cao Ren is in Chenliu, Xun Yu is in Xuchang, and Cao Ang is on the border of Dongjun, holding the three big cities!"

"They didn't even put all the soldiers and horses in Xuchang City?" The potter touched his chin suspiciously, and said, "Take Pitu!" ”

When he was young, he saw Pei Qian bring the map, and the potter sat down on the spot and began to study it carefully.

"Cao Ren and Xun Yu, they have a lot of ideas." The potter smiled and said, "The three places are not close to each other, and they are all big cities, and each of them occupies the other two marching grain routes to the north and the west, I just took the other cities, but after a long time, it is not of much use." ”

"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Pei Qian asked.

The potter pondered for a moment and said, "Let's try it first, attack Chen Liu!" In the land of Yanzhou, Cao Ren is the most powerful at the moment, as long as he conquers Chen Liu and defeats Cao Ren, it can be regarded as pacifying half of the Central Plains. ”

"No!"

The army of potters immediately left for Chenliu, where Cao Ren was located.

And Cao Ren has already been waiting for Chen Liuzhen.

After the potter arrived, he immediately ordered Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin to be the forerunner and led the attacking army to launch a fierce attack on the city.

But Cao Ren was prepared.

Above the city, bows, crossbows, stones, and hot gold juice...... The unified forces were thrown at the Jinling army that attacked the city.

Under the leadership of four generals, the Jinling army repeatedly attacked four times, two of which landed in the city, but failed to take the city tower after all.

Cao Ren's defense eventually worked.

No matter what fierce generals and elite soldiers you send, I will not move!

Two hours later, the Jinling army finally stopped trying the project and retreated stupidly.

And Xu Chu was also hit by a stone, fortunately he hid in time, otherwise he was afraid that he would be smashed in the brain.

Facing Cao Ren, who was the eighth king, the pottery merchant was a little helpless.

It seems that this Chen will not be able to take it for a while.
