At this time, through the resentful tone in Xu Huang's words, the pottery merchant could feel that Xu Huang still wanted to go up, after all, no one wants to be obscure, everyone wants to let go and do something, not only to become famous, but also to seal his wife and son.

"Brother Gongming, did you want to go to Jizhou to develop? Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and now he has replaced Han Fu as the temporary pastor of Jizhou, and his reputation is all over the world, and he must be recruiting heroes from all over the world, I think Brother Gongming is not a person who is willing to be plain, why not take this opportunity to try his luck? ”

The pottery merchant kindly tested Xu Huang's bottom line, although Wang Yi is the county guard of Hedong, according to the situation in the world, he can barely be regarded as a prince, but through this person's actions, it can be seen that he does not have too many ideas and ambitions, but carefully abides by the laws of the Han Dynasty and supervises and governs Hedong County for the imperial court. Its behavior can be described as decent, and it is not arrogant.

It is generally unlikely that a decent person will have a rapid development in a short period of time.

The potter has little confidence in himself, one is that he is young, and there is a father on it, and the other is that among the princes of the world, his reputation is stronger than that of Dow, and his reputation is much better than that of Dow, so he does not dare to recruit Xu Huang too quickly, Han Hao is still in the hesitation stage of the olive branch he throws out, so the potter plans to use Yuan Shao's door first to try Xu Huang's bottom line.

Perhaps it was the potter's approachable attitude that infected Xu Huang, who had no defense against this modest son, and told the truth.

"Tao Gongzi, don't hide it, Xu Huang is a dignified eight-foot man, although he is not from a famous family, but he also wants to achieve a meritorious career for the benefit of the family, Runan Yuan's family is famous all over the world, although Huang is intentional, it's just, it's just my ...... from this background."

Really!

The potter nodded secretly in his heart, Xu Huang did have the intention of changing the courtyard at this time.

However, for taking refuge in Yuan Shao, it is obvious that Xu Huang himself has little confidence. After all, the power of the Yuan family is based on the fame of the family of the fourth and third princes as the axis, recruiting people from all over the world, Xu Huang's identity is there, even if he has a heart, but in terms of door and family background, it is still too bad.

The potter began to envy Yuan Shao in his heart.

The prestige of the Yuan family is really too high, so high that even a pig squeezes his head and wants to drill under the door wall of the Yuan family! If Yuan Shao releases the list and recruits someone to pour a night pot for himself, it is estimated that countless people will recommend themselves and step on the threshold of his Jizhou Mansion.

"Brother Gongming, I can't hide it, when Tao was in Luoyang, he and Yuan Gong formed a good friendship, if my brother is willing, when this expedition is completed with the little prince of Yufuluo, when I return to Xuzhou, I am willing to change to Jizhou Road and introduce my brother to Yuan Gong."

This is completely against his will, a person like Xu Huang, the potter is reluctant to do 10,000 in his heart, how can he recommend it to Yuan Shao?

But if he doesn't make this decision, I'm afraid that Xu Huang may not follow him.

Recruiting talents, sometimes not only depends on sincerity and interests, but also has to use a little blindness...... It's not very authentic, though.

"Is what Tao Gongzi said true?" Xu Huang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, this prince of Xuzhou, who had just known him for one night, was willing to be an introducer for himself, Xu Huang was half surprised, half puzzled, and didn't understand why the potter was so good to him.

"Of course it's true, the so-called good birds choose trees and perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and the master, I look at my brother is the posture of a general, and after a long time, he will be a great talent, so he intends to make friends, if the brother comes to the door of Yuan Gong in the future, I will mediate between Xuzhou and Yuan, and I hope that Brother Gongming will contribute more."

When it comes to making up nonsense, the ability of the potters to change in the commercial society of later generations is naturally not on the same level as most of the ancients...... His ability to tell nonsense has reached the point of perfection.

Listening to what the Tao merchant said was both sincere and honest, Xu Huang was inexplicably moved in his heart, and said: "Tao Gongzi, if Huang can be recommended by Tao Gongzi to enter the Yuan family to achieve meritorious deeds, then the son will be the benevolent father of my Hedong Xu family in the future, but if there is an order, how dare you disobey?" ”

Seeing Xu Huang so solemn, the pottery merchant's face was also a little red.

After all, he didn't want to recommend Xu Huang to Yuan Shao at all, and he was deceiving Gu Zhiliang here...... No matter how thick the skin is, it's a little panicked.

"Brother Gongming is polite, Tao is helping by the way, but after all, it is Yuan's talent, but Tao does not dare to guarantee that this matter will be successful."

Xu Huang smiled heartily, waved his hand, and said: "Gongzi is willing to recommend Huang, he is already a great virtue, where do I dare to pick this and that." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Huang smashed his mouth and said with emotion: "This recent Yuedan review, Huang was quite puzzled when he first saw it, Dark Dao Gongzi, you are young, how qualified are you to serve as Xu Zijiang's such a thick evaluation, and now when you see the real person, you know that Xu Gong's words are true...... Prince Taiping, it really deserves its name! ”

The potter's smile suddenly fell.

"Brother Gongming, can you not call me Prince Taiping? Tao really can't listen to this. ”

Xu Huang nodded heavily: "So modest? Childe is really low-key, Huang admires. ”

……

……

At the beginning of the next day, Lu Yi and others came to Xu Huang's military tent to see the Xiongnu guerrilla route he had planned last night, and to arrange the march ambush route.

When Xu Huang pointed out the three routes to Lu Yi, the famous Hebei general was a little anxious.

"It is very rare that Xu Bingcao was able to plan three guerrilla routes for the Xiongnu...... But even so, the area covered by these three routes is still too broad, and the generals have limited troops and horses, so they really don't know where to arrange. ”

Hearing this, the potter smiled and said: "Actually, it is not difficult, since we have planned three routes that the Huns may swim through, then the next step is to find a way to lure the little prince to one of the routes, which is the so-called throwing incense to bait the big fish." ”

Lu Yi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What is Tao Gongzi's bait?" ”

The pottery merchant spread his hands and said helplessly: "This, it depends on you to decide, Tao was born in Danyang, and he really hasn't had any dealings with the Huns, so he really doesn't understand." ”

Lu Yi turned his head to look at Xu Huang, and then at Han Hao, but saw that both of them were also bowing their heads, frowning, and couldn't think of anything to lure the Xiongnu for a while.

"Guys, if you really can't think of it, there is a person under Tao's command who may be able to help."

After obtaining the consent of the three of them, they saw the potter walk to the entrance of the tent and asked the guards to call Xu Rong over.

When he was young, he saw Xu Rong, who was wearing a bronze mask, and under the guidance of the guards, he walked into the tent.

"This is my commander Xu Xiaowei, born in Liaodong, although he has never dealt with the Xiongnu, but he is familiar with Xianbei temperament, they are all foreign nomads, and they may have something in common with each other."

Lu Yi came from Yuan Shao, and he knew a little about the pottery merchant's subduing of Xu Rong in Bianshui, and he had more or less intersections with him in the past few days, but he didn't understand, why did this general, who was quite famous in the Xiliang Army in the past, wear a bronze mask on his face?

Pretending to be an uncle?

Or is it that after changing the court, I feel ashamed and have no face to see people?

After listening to the pottery merchant's narration, Xu Rong thought for a while before he slowly spoke: "The last general is not familiar with the Xiongnu, but when he lived in Xuansu in the past, he had many intersections with Xianbei...... Grain and grass will not be very attractive to it, but there is one thing, which has to be to trade with our Han, otherwise it will definitely be rare. ”

Koji Yi hurriedly said: "What is it? ”

Xu Rong said coldly: "It's iron, the nomadic horses are stronger, and they are all grass horses in the north, like their masters, they can endure hunger and have strong patience, and the last general guessed that although Yu Fuluo was expelled from the southern court of the Xiongnu, but as a prince, it should not be difficult to buy horses in the grassland nomadic place, but the bad thing is that there are few iron tools, the nomadic people are not good at governing iron, even if they can control the smelting, the yield is very low, Yu Fuluo is rampant in my Han realm, other things may not be a big problem for him, but this iron weapon is a valuable product for him. ”

When Koji Yi heard this, he seemed to have woken up.

Xu Huang said: "This general is very good, if it is convenient for General Koji, you might as well repair the book and ask Wang Fujun for help, ask him to transfer a batch of ordnance to Yang County in the arsenal of Xiangling, and then spread the news!" Xiangling to Yang County needs to pass through Fenshui, along the way there are abundant water and grass, is one of the three routes analyzed below, if Yu Fu Luo intends to these weapons, he will definitely appear on this route! ”

Ko Yi looked at Xu Huang, then at Xu Rong, and nodded in agreement.

"What are the opinions of Han Zhan and Tao Gongzi?"

Han Hao shook his head and said, "The analysis and planning of several generals are just right, and I have no opinions. ”

The pottery merchant was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "General Koji, these five hundred people under your command are all foot soldiers, if you go into battle, there is nothing that can help the general, if it is convenient for the general, my five hundred people, will not snipe the enemy together with the general, and when the time comes, it will just be a strategy around the periphery, how about it?" ”

To be honest, the five hundred potters really weren't taken seriously by Koji Yi, and in his opinion, these people were even in the way.

Lu Yi nodded and said, "It's okay, since that's the case, I will ask Tao Gongzi and the soldiers under his command to respond on the side, and Han Yi and I will lead the troops to ambush Yu Fuluo." ”

After leaving the tent, Lu Yi, Han Hao, Xu Huang, as well as the potters and Xu Rong, went to pack their respective soldiers and horses and prepare to go on the expedition.

After leaving the tent, Xu Rong asked the potter very suspiciously: "This time you sent troops to deal with Yu Fuluo, why did you lead the troops alone to respond?" Although we have 500 people, we must be able to help. ”

The potter was silent for a while, and said: "There is no special reason, one is that these five hundred infantry are not our main force, and it really can't help to deal with the Hun cavalry, and the other is ...... If I have the opportunity, I want to use these 500 people to do something else, something that is really beneficial to Xuzhou. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Rong's heart panicked.

This Tao Gongzi, what moth does he think of?

……

……

After obtaining the consent of the Taishou Wangyi of Hedong, Koyi immediately led his army to the place where Fuluo was stationed in Yang County.

As expected, Yu Fuluo's cavalry galloped away quickly before the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Koji Yi, and this Xiongnu Liukou brigade hid in Tibet and disappeared from the sight of the Koji army in a short time.

The second step of the plan began.

On the way from Xiangling to Yang County, passing through Fenshui, there is a place with abundant water and grass, which is quite suitable for the cavalry to supply and recuperate for the war horses.

Hedong Taishou Wangyi arranged manpower to transfer weapons from the Xiangling arsenal to Yang County.

After a short time, the transport team traveled to this place of abundant water and grass, and set up camp here.

The grassland on the bank of the Fenshui River is quiet, as if there is no movement, but I don't know that in the dense forest not far from the river, it is already murderous at this moment!

The elite soldiers and horses of Koji Yi and others were hiding in it, like wolves waiting for their prey, waiting for their prey to enter the net.

The 500 men under the potter's men were also hiding not far away, but they were on the periphery and did not participate in the battle.

"Childe, what are you drawing?" Xu Rong walked up to the potter and looked down at his movements, quite curious.

The potter Shicai had been sitting there, with his chin in his left hand and a branch in his right hand to outline Peppa Pig on the dirt, and said listlessly: "Big brother society." ”

What's that?

Xu Rong's lone eye under the mask was obviously full of incomprehension.

"It's just a splash!" The potter changed his words, threw the branch in his hand, looked up at Xu Rong and said, "The little prince hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Xu Rong turned his head to look at the riverside grass in the distance, and said slowly: "Not yet." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Rong suddenly stopped talking, and then suddenly leaned over and lay on the ground, pressing his ears against the dirty ground.

After listening carefully for a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips outside his mask.

"It's coming!"

The potter stood up slowly.

On the plain in the distance by the river, a black line suddenly appeared in the eyes of the potter, and the black line became thicker and thicker under the sunlight, and the speed of the gallop became faster and faster.

The potter raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Rong who stood up from the ground with some puzzlement, and raised his hand to point: "You can see it with your eyes, why do you have to lie on the ground and listen...... Don't you panic in your ears? ”

"Also...... All right. The corners of Xu Rong's mouth twitched angrily outside the mask.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Huns has rushed into the Hedong transport team transporting the treasury ordnance, they either shook the scimitar in their hands, or held a longbow, wore a rather long cotton jacket, wore a spire-shaped tasseled cotton hat, and called out "woo woo ~~" one by one, like jackals.

The potter looked strangely at the Hun cavalry who rushed into the Hedong transport team from a distance, and shook his head and sighed while watching: "The Huns are really poor, they wear cotton jackets and rob, and they don't even have armor. ”

Xu Rong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said: "Son, you are a little lonely, although the Huns' iron control technology is poor, but the armor is quite complete, and its helmet has no openings along both sides, and it can be worn without distinction between front and back, and the cuirass is matched before and after, which is light and strong, which is quite in line with the cavalry war...... Of course, the yield is much lower than that of my big man. ”

The potter glanced at Xu Rong strangely, and said puzzledly: "The output is low, isn't that still poor?" ”

Xu Rong: "............"
