That night, Tian Feng came to the potter's tent.

"Mr. Yuan Hao hasn't slept so late, is there something?" The potter looked at him with a smile.

Tian Feng didn't smile, he just frowned and sat opposite the potter, and asked, "Why do you want to keep Cao Pi?" ”

The potter guessed that he had come for this.

"Why don't you keep him?"

Tian Feng began to frankly express his opinions: "I look at the face of this son, he has the appearance of a jackal, he is by no means a good person, Cao Zhi's death, I think Cao Cao should have caught some substantial evidence, otherwise he would not be easily imprisoned, this person can abandon his mother and kill his brother, stay by his side, I am afraid that there will be disasters in the future." ”

The potter casually looked at the slip in his hand, and dropped: "I know what you said, but the word disaster is inaccurate, you can't help but exaggerate him." ”

Tian Fengqi said: "What do you mean? ”

"If I don't know his true face and don't guard against him, then he can be considered a disaster, but I now know what he is, and I know that he is not a good bird, then he is not a threat to me, it is not a disaster, at most it is a disaster."

Tian Feng hurriedly said, "Is the prime minister planning to use him?" ”

The potter turned his head to stare at the flame of the oil lamp on the table, pondered for a long time, and then said: "If you don't use it, you can't say it now, and at present, he has nothing worth using, but I think it's better to let him live than to kill, as for his abandonment of his mother and killing his brother, and his fierce and vicious character, these are not problems for me, and I am not his father, how can I get used to him?" ”

Tian Feng saw that the pottery merchant knew very well what he was doing, so he let go of his worries, and he said to the pottery merchant again: "By the way, Prime Minister, You Donkey from the school office sent someone to send information during the day, saying that Liu Bei of Jingzhou is in power. ”

The potter had just taken a sip of water from Yongjue, and couldn't help coughing when he heard it.

He picked up the square towel on the table, wiped his mouth gently, turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Tian Feng said: "It is said that after Liu Biao was buried in Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Liu Qi and the Jingzhou scholars led by Pang and others came together, and united Fu Wan and other old forces in the DPRK and China, secretly resisted Cai Mao and others, although Cai Mao has deep roots, but Liu Biao has made a lot of preparations in order to contain them over the years, plus Liu Bei has the merit of pacifying Jingnan, he already has a prestige in Jingzhou, and the limelight is unique for a while, and all forces suppress Cai's family, which actually occupies the dominant, and now Liu Bei can be said to be the first person under the emperor of the puppet dynasty. ”

The potter smiled when he heard this, and there was no squeak.

When the imperial court in Jingzhou was formed, it was the little emperor Liu Qiong who relied on all forces to put him on the throne, and when they were under Liu Biao, they were all pregnant with ghosts, and they were all planning their own small abacus, not to mention that Liu Biao is dead now.

However, Liu Bei was able to overwhelm other forces in Jingzhou so quickly, and he came out on top, which was greatly beyond the expectations of the potters.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, in your opinion, Liu Bei took Jingzhou, what should we do?"

Tian Feng said seriously: "What the prime minister wants to do now is to sit in the Central Plains, stabilize the people's hearts, and consolidate the prestige of the imperial court in the Central Plains. ”

The pottery merchant felt that Tian Feng's words were very reasonable, and said: "Yuan Hao's words are very good, I will drive the army back to Xuchang Tunzha now, the land of Xuchang is not far from Xiangfan, but if we turn our eyes to the south, will Cao Cao take advantage of the gap to kill?" ”

Tian Feng pondered carefully for a while, and said: "I don't think it will be, after all, Cao Cao is newly defeated, lost Zhongzhou, and also lost Cao Ren Cao Hong and other generals, morale is exhausted, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to move troops again for a while, and although Cao Cao occupies Luoyang and Chang'an, and sits in Guanzhong, but the land of Guanzhong, especially Liangzhou, Cao Cao's prestige is not so high there, and now there is such a big mess in the Central Plains, Cao Cao is afraid that he will not dare to leave Guanzhong easily." ”

The potter touched his chin and said, "Yes, those Guanzhong princes and Cao Cao are both used and guarded against each other, and Cao Cao is probably not so at ease with them." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said: "That's right, of course, if Cao Cao wants to come out of the pass, it will be a good thing for the prime minister, so that we don't have to cross the barrier of Hangu and other huge passes, and we can fight him directly, why not?" ”

The potter smiled when he heard this, and secretly said that this old man really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked.

That's Cao Cao, not a rookie, it's the kind that gets stronger and stronger, how can you casually let you always pinch the dough in your hands?

After cleaning up the battlefield along the riverbank, news came out from Puyang, but it was Cao Ang, Hao Zhao and other generals who abandoned the city and left, abandoned Puyang, and took refuge in Luoyang in the west.

In this way, even if the Yanzhou administrative office was taken down, the last nail in the Central Plains was pulled out by the potter.

On the way back to Xuchang City, the three armies happened to meet with Tai Shici and others who had received Guo Jia.

The potter and Guo Jia were naturally very happy to meet.

"You've done it again this time." The potter smiled and reached out and patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said: "Even Cao Ren has been fooled by you, after this battle, Guo Fengxiao's reputation will inevitably spread to the thirteen states of the world and be admired by tens of thousands of people." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Don't use these false perfunctory things, and reward some lintoe gold is the right thing." ”

The potter whistled and looked away.

At this time, I saw Bao Zhong and Bao Tao walking in front of the potter and kneeling down on one knee.

"I've seen the prime minister!"

"Hurry up, please!" The potter stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said: "The two generals have made great contributions this time, I have already submitted to the imperial court, canonized the two generals as partial generals, and the community is waiting." ”

Er Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked the potter.

It's just a general, but can you still be a marquis? Erbao is really happy in his heart.

Especially in this community, it is said that many heroes under the command of potters have received this canonization this year, and the fief must be quite large.

I heard that the potters had also canonized a few people as office marquis, and their status was still above the community, but unfortunately the merits of the two brothers did not seem to meet the standards and were not selected.

However, it should be a great joy in life to be able to get a community.

……

After everyone returned to Xuchang City, the potter immediately held a banquet to invite the heroes of the battle, but before the banquet, he also took the lead in paying tribute to the fallen soldiers.

For today's achievements, I don't know how many people are buried in their hometowns, unable to return to their roots and return to their hometowns.

The generals have relaxed like today for a long time, and one by one they have let go of their courage and are drunk.

I've been suppressed for too long, and I can finally find a chance to release it.

In the middle of the banquet, Xun Yu walked in front of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia saw Xun Yu, stood up, and said, "What does Wen Ruo have to teach you?" ”

"Come out for a walk with me." Xun Yu pointed to the outside of the hall where the banquet was held, and said to Guo Jia.
