There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"He Shuai, we are out of food."

"no food"

These two words were like a sharp iron awl, ruthlessly piercing into He Man's heart.There are still more than ten thousand soldiers under his command, once the cooking is cut off, He Man dare not even think about what the consequences will be.

"Hurry up! Send someone out to investigate! Look for the nearby villages. Before tonight, we must find a way to grab enough food and grass. We are already close to He Qushuai in Gepo. We can't make mistakes at this time. We just need to find a way to get there." Runan! I will be with my brothers, and the follow-up meal will be resolved!" He Man gritted his teeth and said.

A captain of the Yellow Turban quickly said: "Don't worry, He Shuai, we have already released more than 20 scouts two hours ago, I believe it will not take long for news to come back!"

He Man's complexion did not soften because of the words of the captain of the yellow scarf, on the contrary it became more gloomy.

"What's the matter with the brat below, can't find a spot to hit Yegu in two hours? It's useless!"

The captain of the yellow scarf smiled and said cautiously: "The boys are worthless, if you mess up He Shuai's pace, turn around and wait for them to come back, and the subordinates will severely punish a few of them!"

He Man said with a cold face: "I have nothing to do with you severely punishing anyone. I only tell you that if you delay this matter, you can send your head to this bowl later."

Captain Yellow Turban nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, don't worry, He Shuai, this subordinate will personally lead the sentry and ride out to look for it. Whatever you say, you have to find a place to fight the wild valley for the brothers to fight teeth."

Before the captain of the yellow turban could finish his sentence, he saw a yellow turban scout rushing into the tent with sweat on his head, knelt down on one knee, panting, "Report to Shuai He, my subordinates have found it!"

In the handsome tent, several yellow scarf leaders including He Man were all refreshed. He Man threw away the porridge bowl in his hand, and quickly got up and said, "How is the investigation going?"

"He Shuai! Forty miles to the southeast, there is a large village. There are no less than a few hundred families in the village. The subordinates secretly went to the village to investigate. They saw that every household in the village had cooking smoke. It can be seen that there is surplus food, and there are many families feeding. There are livestock, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are all complete! There is enough to support our army for more than half a month!"

"Okay!" He Man stood up quickly, the cold light in his eyes was as fierce as an arrow, making one's heart go cold.

Those who are familiar with him know that this is the harbinger that this cut-off Yaksha will go berserk and kill people.

"Decree to all the ministries that the whole army will attack this village to fetch food, and anyone who dares to stop and disobey will be executed on the spot, and no one will be left behind!"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

He Man's Floating Cloud Army wanted to sneak attack on Xuzhuang, but the Xuzhou Army did not stop at this side, and the potter and Mi Fang were also discussing countermeasures overnight.

After all, before Xu Chu returned to the village, he asked the pottery merchant to make a promise that he would give him an explanation within three days.

Although the pottery merchant agreed in order to stabilize Xu Chu for the time being, it was Mi Fang who revealed the matter, and he was also the nominal commander of the Xuzhou Army, so he had to discuss this matter with Mi Fang.Besides, after all, the pottery merchant took Mi Fang's house and a hundred acres of land as tribute, so he should be given more respect.

But for Xu Chu's condition, Mi Fang resolutely denied it and refused to agree!

Compensation for the loss is still a trivial matter, the main thing is to hand over the head of the thief, Mi Fang himself is the head of the thief, how can he tie himself up and send him to Xu Chu?

Mi Fang is a bit short-sighted, but he hasn't been foolish enough to do something that would obviously send him to death, of course he won't and can't do it.

"My lord, this matter is absolutely unavoidable. Even if our Xuzhou Army made some mistakes beforehand, but that brazen man asked us to hand over people as soon as they were told. Once word gets out, what face will our Xuzhou Army have? What face will Mr. Tao Shi have? How should the people of the world treat me, the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou? A gentleman's teacher can't afford to lose this man."

Looking at Mi Fang's righteous face, the potter couldn't help but smile.

No matter what, Mi Fang is not too dull. At the critical moment, she still knows how to use the words "a gentleman's teacher" as a shield.

"Since Brother Mi doesn't intend to agree to Xu Chu's conditions, is there a good way to break this embarrassing situation?"

Mi Fang stretched out three fingers, and talked gracefully: "Don't worry, Eldest Prince, there will be three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, which can be decided by Eldest Prince at his discretion!"

The potter was a little surprised: "Brother Mi actually has three tricks? It's really impressive, and I hope to hear the best strategy."

Mi Fang cleared her throat, and said solemnly: "Master, I am so ashamed to praise you so much. As the saying goes, 36 tricks are the best strategy. The ancients did not deceive me, so let me stay with you, instead of arguing with that poor man here. , it’s better to make a decision early, and go straight to Yingchuan overnight to join Kong Ni, and go west to attack Dong Zhuo! I’m sorry that Xu Chu can’t react for a while, and when he wants someone to ask for food, we are already hundreds of miles away , no matter how unreasonable he is, he is hopeless and helpless."

The potter was dumbfounded, not knowing how to evaluate it.

Run away, run away, talk so much nonsense

It took half a cup of tea in a daze before the potter came back to his senses, raised his hand and clenched his fist next to his mouth, coughed awkwardly, and said: "Brother Mi's idea is really extraordinary, only the best strategy is so extraordinary , I think this is the middle policy and the worst policy, so there is no need to listen to it."

Mi Fang was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said: "The eldest son thinks the best strategy is feasible?"

"I feel so useless after hearing your best strategy. If you tell me the middle strategy and the worst strategy, I am afraid that I will die." The pottery waved his hands weakly and said.

To be honest, he is not a person who is willing to use his brain, on the contrary, he is more lazy than anyone else, but if he stays with Mi Fang, he will not be diligent.Otherwise, I don't even know if this kid will be sold out one day.

After thinking for a while, the pottery merchant said slowly, "That Xu Chu has the appearance of a warrior and is white. If he can be recruited into our army, it will undoubtedly be a big help."

When Mi Fang heard this, she was dumbfounded: "Then Xu Chu is arrogant and unreasonable, and he has a gap with us, how can he submit? The eldest son's thinking is too naive, isn't it?"

Hearing the words, the pottery merchant heaved a sigh of relief, pondered for a while, and said affirmatively: "It's up to people! There must be a way."

Ever since Xu Chu reported his name, the pottery merchant had already started thinking about it. This is also an important reason why he used the strategy of delaying his troops before the battle to agree to Xu Chu's conditions. At least in this troubled world, his personal safety is guaranteed.

To live in this world, the first thing to consider must be your own safety factor.

If we talk about the difference between a troubled world and a peaceful world:

What is the happiest and richest thing in Qingping world!

What is the happiest money to have in troubled times!There is also the life that can spend money, you see how important safety is.

Chapter No.16 The Battle of Xuzhuang

"General Mi! Young Master! This subordinate wants to see something!"

Outside the handsome tent, I suddenly remembered the sound of hurried footsteps and a question came.

The potter looked up and saw a figure kneeling on one knee outside the tent. Accompanied by the light inside the tent, he cast his body traces indistinctly on the curtain and the sand inside the tent, which appeared very distinct in the already dark night. Slender outside.

"Come in if you have something to say!" Mi Fang put away her submissive attitude in front of the pottery merchant, put on a serious face, and showed the momentum and demeanor that a commander of the three armies should have.

The scouts quickly entered the tent, and after saluting the two of them separately, they said concisely: "One hour ago, my subordinates explored the Qiongshan Mountain fifty miles to the north, and there is a hidden army that moved from the north to the south. There are more than [-] people. , and the movement of his soldiers and horses is currently unknown."

When Mi Fang heard that there were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses nearby, her face turned a little pale in an instant, her legs swayed secretly, and the innate sense of wimp in her bones began to stir again in an instant.

Some changes in Mi Fang naturally cannot escape the potter's eyes, after getting along for a while, he already knows this good partner to the bone.

"Brother Mi, do you have an urge to pack up and tidy up?"

Mi Fang replied subconsciously: "Young Master has a great plan."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Mi, calm down, there are others here."

Mi Fang woke up suddenly, and she came back to her senses.

He squinted at the scout who was still kneeling in front of him, so he had to pretend to be a tough guy, and asked: "Which state and county do you know?"

Although the scout wanted to laugh, he didn't dare to make a mistake when facing the general, so he could only hold back stiffly.

"My subordinates searched secretly, and saw that although the army and horse had quite a lot of weapons and equipment, they didn't have the state capital's banner, banner, or uniform armor. I'm afraid they weren't state capital soldiers and horses. Rogues, therefore, my subordinates are suspicious"

Mi Fang urged: "What do you suspect?"
