Chapter 35: The Death of the Potter

The soldiers on both sides unconsciously moved out of the way, and a few of them were eager to come up and stop He Man, but they were glared at by He Man angrily, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.

Liu Bei, Mi Fang and others were commanding their soldiers to encircle and suppress the defeated army everywhere, and suddenly saw He Man approaching the pottery merchant, and urged the horse to rush to this side with a double-strand sword, and at the same time shouted loudly: "He Man, Hugh is going to hurt the eldest prince."

Gao Ping couldn't help but slander in his heart when he saw this, I asked you to kill the potters in the chaos, what kind of score do you say, what are you trying to kill Cao Lin and Cao Feng, what is the use of those people, Gao Ping suddenly found out why He Man walked so slowly, if he was a little faster, wouldn't everything be solved, and now that he was discovered by Liu Bei, it seems that he has to find a way by himself, this potter must not stay, but he can't openly go against Liu Bei's intentions, it's a headache, Gao Ping rubbed his head and ran his brain cells rapidly.

He Man came five steps in front of the pottery merchant, heard Liu Bei's shout, frowned and stopped, and the sergeants beside the pottery merchant saw that the Cao brothers were dead and the general trend had gone, so they knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

Liu Bei patted his horse and rushed to the pottery merchant to bow and salute: "Eldest prince, don't do any more senseless resistance, come back to Xuzhou with me" The voice was full of guilt and helplessness.

The potter looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, Liu Bei, you hypocrite, don't dare to kill me in the public now, for fear of tarnishing your reputation, right, now the good words will bring me back to Xuzhou, and then quietly get rid of it in the future, I don't know it, it's really calculating" said and glared at Liu Bei and the others hatefully, at this time Gao Ping, Mi Fang and others also rushed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei closed his eyes painfully, pondered for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes: "I was greatly favored by Tao Gong, and I wanted to take care of his descendants, but the creation made people, and the two sons ignored millions of people in Xuzhou, raised swords and soldiers in vain, and had to send troops to quell the chaos.

Liu Bei sighed and continued: "Alas! Now, no matter what Liu Bei says, he can't resolve the resentment in the eldest prince's heart. Xuzhou was originally the land of Tao Qian, the former Cao Cao besieged Xuzhou, Liu Bei came to help, and then Cao Bao, Zhao Yu and others bewitched the two sons of civil strife, and now the whole territory of Xuzhou is peaceful, Liu Bei is also considered to have completed Tao Gong's entrustment before his death, regardless of whether the eldest prince believes it or not, but Liu Bei has never been involved in Xuzhou's will since the day he came to Xuzhou. I persuaded the eldest prince to return to Xuzhou with me, in order to re-hand Xuzhou into the hands of Tao Qian's descendants in front of the Xuzhou civil and military gentry, and then Liu Bei led his own people back to the plain. Liu Bei always looked at the potter gently, just like an elder looking at a junior who made a mistake, hoping that he would find his way back. The words shocked the potter, Homan, and the soldiers present. But Mi Fang frightened Mi Fang, Mi Fang knew that now the Mi family and Liu Bei were tied to a chariot and could only advance and retreat together, but once Liu Bei really gave up Xuzhou, then what should they do with the Mi family? Gao Ping thinks that whether Liu Bei's words are sincere or a politician's show, then he is either a fool or too clever. However, is Liu Bei a fool, obviously not, then it is necessary to carefully analyze the feasibility of Liu Bei's words, just like Cao Cao in history coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if Cao Cao gave up his rights, would Emperor Han Xian really be able to restore the Han Dynasty, could he really take power, would anyone listen to him, without Cao Cao, there would be Li Cao, Wang Cao, and even Zhang Cao monopolizing the government, because that is already an immutable fact, because he Emperor Han Xian did not establish his own prestige and team. In the same way, will anyone in Xuzhou listen to him as a potter? Now that Cao Bao and the others have been killed, who will support him as a potter, presumably the people who support him on the surface are also those who want to use him as a puppet, this trick is really clever

"This" The potter looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, and found that Liu Bei's eyes were clear, and there was no fraud at all, could Liu Bei really be willing to give up the great rivers and mountains of Xuzhou, and give it to me so plainly, have we always really blamed Liu Bei, is he really as benevolent and righteous as rumored, the potter's heart turned up a monstrous wave, he worked hard, formed a gang, and the best happiness was so simple.

Seeing that the pottery merchant fell into contemplation and seemed to be quite moved, Gao Ping touched his nose, and a strange smile crossed the corner of his mouth and said loudly: "The eldest prince, the eldest prince of Tao, the pottery merchant, my lord Liu Xuande has Tao Qian's last order, and the major clans in Xuzhou have jointly performed and are ordered to lead Xuzhou, but your brothers did not obey the emperor's orders, cut the land and rebelled, resulting in the destruction of Xuzhou's lives, which is disloyal."

Your father Tao Qian let Xuzhou to my lord three times before his death, and finally my lord had to reluctantly accept, when your father was dying, he instructed you two brothers, only to be a rich man is enough, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Tao Qian knows that you are useless, afraid that you will be deceived by traitors, and what do you do with your brothers, your father's bones are not cold, when cousins fry each other, are you worthy of Tao Fujun's spirit in the sky, this is unfilial."

Gao Ping glared at the potter hatefully, and then said, "Do you know how many innocent people in Xuzhou have suffered because of your brother's rebellion? Do you know how many people have been displaced as a result of this war you have started? And how many old mothers have lost their sons? How many wives have lost their husbands? How many children have been orphaned? This is unkind. Moreover, Cao Bao, Zhang Xu, Xu Tan and others in the army have been friends with you for many years, and they could have submitted to our lord and enjoyed peace in peace, but because of your ambition, they all died, which is unjust. ”

Without waiting for the potter to speak, Gao Ping pointed at the potter and said sharply: "Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person dares to take over Xuzhou." Now the people of Xuzhou hate to pick up Ru skin, smoke Ru tendons, eat Ru meat, and drink Ru blood, what face do you still have to stand under this Lang Lang Qiankun, don't you really know what shame is? If I were you, I would have found a place where no one was looking for a crooked neck tree to secretly end your dirty life, and you would die a hundred times, and there would be less infamy, and now my lord is merciful, spare your dog's life, and don't roll quickly with your tail between your legs, when will you wait? ”

"Poof" A stream of blood spurted out of the potter's mouth, "You-you-you-you" The embarrassed potter pointed to Gao Ping and said a few words in a row, but there was no second word, looking up at the blue sky sadly, thinking back to what he had done over the years, it seemed that he was really as Gao Ping said, he was a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial person. In an instant, all thoughts were lost.

Suddenly, the potter pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed at Liu Bei, He Man thought that the potter was ashamed and angry and wanted to fight to break the net, so he hurriedly raised his knife to protect Liu Bei.
