In fact, it is not surprising that Yuan Shu easily believed what Chen Ji said, it was the pottery merchant who sent someone to steal the jade seal of the country. It's not a good feeling to entrust your surname to someone else. made Yuan Shu feel some sympathy for Emperor Liu Xie.

The potter is just a rotten thing, if it weren't for the legacy of his Laozi potter, he "cheated" out of 10,000 loyal and righteous hearts, and was willing to work hard for his Tao family's Danyang elite soldiers to rely on, no one would take a second look at this guy who even had his own father in the pit, even Yuan Shu initially "accepted" the potter, but only to have an excuse to wave troops to attack Xuzhou, of course, the pottery merchant brought Qingzhou chaos, Lu Bu was definitely unable to look south, but also prompted Yuan Shu to make up his mind to fight.

But now, I already have a little dislike for the pottery merchants, if it weren't for the so-called attraction of Tao Qian's legacy, Yuan Shu, who would have eaten the pottery merchants and the Danyang soldiers under his command, would have completely "understood" why he, the emperor of the Zhong family, was obviously in trouble, but the pottery merchants made the appearance of Fu Zhongchen, but the current situation made Yuan Shu have to believe in his heart that it must be the potter's attempt to succeed, but also rely on the support of the potters who have been tied to the same chariot, and they can not be doubted. This made Yuan Shu's heart feel as if he had swallowed half a catty of flies raw, and he wanted to vomit out the disgusting bile.

But at this time, Ji Ling, who was supposed to fight the enemy in the city, and Yan Xiang actually came together, and what they said was that Yuan Shu was also amazed.

Lu Bu retreated? Why did you quit the army? Yuan Shu thought that he had completely annoyed Lu Bu this time. Just from the distance from Xiapi to Lujiang, ** a hundred miles, Lu Bu turned out to be biting and biting on the same step, and it can be seen that this tiger of the world is really angry this time, and he has to kill himself, the emperor of the Zhong family, in one go. Even if it is because Lu Bujun's battle line is too long this time, the supply is not very powerful, but in Yuan Shu's mind, if he is in Lu Bu's position, and although Lujiang is poor, it is not without a place to eat on the spot, anyway, even if Lu Bu defeats Lujiang, it is impossible to pocket it in a short period of time, how can he give up the opportunity to completely defeat him Yuan Shu because of the so-called cherishing of people's livelihood?

Then, the reason why Lu Bu suddenly withdrew his troops in a hurry with an absolute advantage can be speculated, it must be either Qingzhou, or Xuzhou that made Lu Bu have to give up his vested interests in front of him, or it may be the interpretation of the words that Qingzhou will be chaotic as the pottery merchant said.

"What is Tao Xuzhou doing now?" Ji Ling and Yan Xiang didn't know what had happened here before, the two of them who had been restless by Lu Bu's aggressive offensive in the past ten years, only cared about the rare excitement because of Lu Bu's retreat, where could they care about the original intention of smacking Yuan Shu's face to become extremely strange after hearing the news? It's just that Yuan Shu is just a potter who "cares" about this great achievement.

"Your Majesty, when I came, Tao Xuzhou was preparing troops and horses, saying that he wanted to take advantage of Lu Bu's hasty withdrawal of troops to pursue the matter, and once he came to the hope of his father Tao Qian, it was also to avenge His Majesty's great humiliation!" To be honest, Ji Ling also didn't have a good impression of the arrogant and arrogant potter, but at the moment, after all, the whole army of Yuan Shu and the whole army had to "thank" the potter's life-saving grace, if it weren't for the fierce Danyang soldiers under the command of the potter, just with thousands of Yuan Shu veterans, how could they resist the attack of the 20,000 army that Lu Bu coerced? Moreover, after Yuan Shu became emperor, the "preferential treatment" given to the pottery merchants was obvious to all, and it was easy to have some good news at this time of crisis, and Ji Ling did not want to do something villain because of personal preferences.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This time, the pottery merchant was loved by His Majesty, restored his glory, it seems that he wants to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, although this son surnamed is rebellious and unprovoked, but this loyalty is still commendable, this Tao Xuzhou knows that we are in a hurry to return to Lujiang, the army food will not be enough, borrowed our army horses, led the troops to pursue not only do not need us to provide military food, but also somewhere to get more than a thousand stone military food to give to Your Majesty, said that it is ......" Although Yan Xiang saw that Yuan Shu's face was not good, Tie Qing almost wanted to devour people, But he only thought that Yuan Shu, the son of the Zhong family, was annoyed by the current predicament, so he didn't want to say some good things about the potters, after all, half of the more than 10,000 soldiers left in Lujiang were under the jurisdiction of the potters.

"Borrowing a horse...... Not! That's enough! Yuan Shu's face became more and more ugly, and when he saw that Yan Xiang was still talking about the benefits of the potter, he became more and more sure that what Chen Ji said just now was true, and it was strange that he could be angry. Just as he Yuan is a fool? He also pursued Lu Bu for the last wish of his father Tao Qian, and donated thousands of stones of food for the army, and was still loyal? When Tao Qian held 30,000 Danyang soldiers, according to the entire territory of Xuzhou, he didn't see what he could do to Lu Bu, just with a hairy boy who didn't have any hair, he dared to say that he wanted to pursue Lu Bu? Who believes! And where did the more than 1,000 stones of grain and grass that were conjured out of thin air come from? Before, when the pottery merchants collected the Danyang soldiers, the military rations were still provided by Yuan Shu, even if there was the so-called Tao Qian's legacy of goods as an excuse, but you must know that since he was chased by Lu Bu all the way from Xiapi City, then Lu Bu was not a good stubble, and he didn't give these people a chance to take a breath, and the Danyang soldiers were responsible for the break, where would they have time to get it? The so-called Zhizi is suspicious of his neighbor, and the pottery merchant's behavior is indeed quite strange, and now in Yuan Shu's heart, I am afraid that what the pottery merchant said is false, what is loyal to the country, what is the service of the Zhong family, and make a big "thing", is it difficult to achieve the desire to use more than a thousand stones, grain and grass to make him Yuan Shu bitter and unspeakable? Not to mention the fact that he borrowed almost all the horses! If it's really impossible, you don't even have the strength to run! It's like Yuan Shu's life! In the end, maybe only what the potter said, for the sake of his father's so-called last wish, is barely a little true, right? As for what kind of last wish, Yuan Shu looked at Chen Ji gloomily, and could only laugh at himself, God knows!

"Your Majesty!?" Seeing that Yuan Shu said that he would change his face, even Ji Ling and Yan Xiang, who were finally relieved, looked at each other, and the remaining smiles were cold on their faces, not to mention Li Feng and Chen Ji, who knew the inside story. Ji Ling was a confidant of Yuan Shu for a long time, so he asked stubbornly, "Could it be that there is something wrong with this matter?" He ...... in Xuzhou."

"Tao Xuzhou? Hum! I'm afraid that a Xuzhou pastor will not satisfy the thief of the potter! Yuan Shu said predictively, and he didn't blame Yuan Shu for thinking like this, under his own people, Yuan Shu naturally made up for the so-called antecedents of stealing the jade seal of the country for the pottery merchant's brain. Since the rebellious thief Chen Sheng Wu Guang shouted out the sentence that the prince will Xiangning have a kind of care, it is like opening a Pandora's box, these hundreds of years, as long as it is a person with a lively mind, there is a chance or no opportunity to create opportunities, who doesn't want to try to try the supreme taste? Even the founder of this great Han Dynasty, the mythical Emperor Liu Bang, didn't he get the world for 400 years? Not to mention, in recent years, the troubled times of the Han Dynasty have appeared, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Ou Xing, which one doesn't have such thoughts? Even people with a background like him Yuan Shu are not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention the pottery merchant who has seen him Yuan Shu claim the emperor easily, and has "stolen private evidence" of his Yuan Shu's heirloom jade seal, seeing that with his nearly 10,000 Danyang soldiers, he can face Lu Bu's army without defeat, who is still playing with you, a son of the Zhong family who has lost his use value? Being able to leave more than 1,000 stone military rations for you to fend for yourself in the case of the other three families coming to attack is already the so-called righteousness of the monarch and minister. The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more he felt that he was like a god, and he didn't pay attention to the hesitation of the four "important ministers" in front of him at the moment, and ordered Ji Ling with a cold face: "The pottery merchant thief, when I was facing the enemy, I didn't obey the order and sent troops in vain, which is really hateful. Ji Ling, you take the headquarters to chase the potter, only to say that since Lu Bu is difficult to protect himself this time, then he will be poor and not chase, I will remember his great achievements, and I want to reward him and bring him back here! If they refuse to come, hum...... It's up to you to do it yourself! ”

"This ...... Promise! Although seeing Yuan Shu's murderous words, it was obvious that he wanted to give a good look to the potters who had "great achievements", and he also wanted to say a few good words for the potters who had shared most of the "pressure" for him, but seeing that Li Feng and Chen Ji kept giving themselves a look, they also suppressed the doubts in their hearts and took the order.

"Li Feng! Three hundred knife and axe hands were selected, buried on both sides, and I wanted to see what the potter's plan was! Seeing Ji Ling go out, Yuan Shu instructed Li Feng, turned his head and said to Chen Ji and Yan Xiang: "Shu Zhi, you and Yan Servant are here, before the potter returns, be sure to come up with a Danyang soldier under his command that can not only allow me to return my lost property, but also use the Danyang soldiers under his command to continue to use for me to resist the soldiers of Cao Ying, Liu Biao and Sun Ce!" ”

"No!" Yan Xiang didn't know why, but Chen Ji secretly breathed a sigh, looking at Yuan Shu with a complicated face, who was already gray, and promised to say with a different heart.

Outside Lujiang City, because Lu Bu's army didn't know what was going on, they were in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to dismantle the camp tent that had not been set up, so they were abandoned so casually, which shows the anxious situation when Lu Bu left.

"Quick! Fast! Let the brothers hurry up and speed up the march, more than 900 miles away, no matter what the price is, be sure to hold off Lu Bu's thieves, and give the second brother as much time as possible to act! If you want to take revenge for taking away my state and county, you will be angry with my father, just today! After the deed is completed, Tao will conspire with all the righteous people to become rich! "On the official road, following the way of Lu Bu's army to withdraw, the potter was cheering up the Danyang elite soldiers who were originally to repay Tao Qian's kindness and righteousness, but it was inexplicable and strange that he became a rebellious minister with the pottery merchant, and the morale was obviously not high. Although the pottery merchant is a gentleman, after all, he has also led troops under Tao Qian, and this remark did improve morale a little. Left and right are soldiers to eat food, and they have always been Tao Qian's private soldiers, even if they don't mix with such things, in Xuzhou, they are also subservient to Cao Bao, and they are Tao rebels, these people can vote under the summons of Tao merchants, and they also understand the stakes involved. At the beginning, it was a rebel relative to Xuzhou, but now it is just a slightly bigger "hat", and following the pottery merchants, it can also vaguely be stained with the light of a righteous man.

"Tao Xuzhou! Tao Xuzhou don't go! His Majesty has an order, and Tao Xuzhou quickly turned around Lujiang to receive a big reward! "Before, because the morale of the Danyang soldiers was not high, the speed was a lot slower, but they were caught up by the Ji Ling army who came in a hurry.

"General Ji Ling! My lord has a saying that there is something important to do right now! After the matter is completed, he will inevitably turn back to Lujiang and say to His Majesty! At present, the Lujiang River is weak, please turn around and protect Your Majesty! "The pottery merchant didn't expect Ji Ling to come, but Yuan Shu was worried about the attack of Cao Ying, Liu Biao, Sun Ce's three-way army, and wanted to continue to use the power of Danyang soldiers. The potter galloped on his horse, sneering to himself, it seems that Yuan Shu really took himself seriously? The reason why he came to Lujiang with him was that the potter knew in his heart that he was just to drag Lu Bu. As for the false courtesy, it is just a false and wrongful snake, and he also left so much military food when he left, and it is enough to say that he has fulfilled his feelings, and what is more important than such a "big event" at the moment, he ignored the loud shouts of the soldiers of Ji Ling, and ordered the captain of the Danyang military academy around him to shout.

"Big deal? ...... "Hearing what the potter said, and then thinking of Yuan Shu's previous attitude, Ji Ling suddenly understood something! (To be continued.) )
