There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao yelled, then stopped looking at the crowd, turned around and opened the tent, and quickly walked out of the tent.

The princes in the tent were all trembling with fright at Cao Cao's sudden shout. After Cao Cao walked away, they were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses one by one.

"This Cao Mengde is so presumptuous!" Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, got up angrily: "At first, why didn't you care?"

Although Yuan Shao was also dissatisfied with Cao Cao's indiscretion, but after all, he was a brother who had grown up in Luoyang when he was young, and Yuan Shao cherished his relationship with Cao Cao very much.

Then he said: "Cao Mengde has been like this since he was young. When he is good, he is better than anyone else, and when he is sour, he is more sour than anyone else. Don't pay attention to him. He will naturally regret what happened today if he rests overnight. Sorry, let me continue talking about Luoyang!"

The following meetings were all about unnutritious topics. The potter listened to each other one after another, but his thoughts had already drifted away from his handsome account.

After finishing speaking, it was already dark. Yuan Shao arranged a banquet to drink wine with the princes. Some princes stayed and some did not. All secretly remembered.

In the end, the pottery merchant resolutely joined the team that didn't stay, lied that he was unwell, and bid farewell to the leader to show off his handsomeness.

The pottery merchant was not in a hurry to return to the place where the Xuzhou army set up camp, but led the four brothers of the Pei family to Cao Cao's camp.

When they arrived at Cao Cao's camp, the potter sent Pei Qian in to report.

When I was young, I saw Cao Cao's confidant Xiahou Dun coming out of the gate to greet him in person!

Since the Cao and Tao armies joined forces to defeat Huaxiong in Yangren City, not only Cao Cao and Tao Shang, but also the generals under their command are very close to each other.

"Master Tao!" Xiahou Dun bowed his hands in salute.

"Brother Yuan Rang!" The pottery merchant also bowed his hands in return, and then looked up at Cao Cao's camp.

In the camp of Cao Cao's army, the soldiers of the three armies were running back and forth inside and out, and they seemed to be packing and packing their things, quite anxious.

Tao Shang understood, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Yuan Rang, why are you going?"

Xiahoudun shook his head and said: "Hey! It's really strange to say that Meng De was doing well before he went to see President Yuan. He just came back with an angry expression on his face and was very annoyed. As soon as he entered the gate, he ordered the three armies to pack their bags, saying that they were going to prepare Expedition!"

The pottery merchant pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and said, "Going to war? Are you in such a hurry?"

Xiahou Dun nodded, and said: "It's nothing to go to war, but Meng De told us clearly about where to go? That's good, and he didn't say where to go. I can't figure it out, Mr. Tao, do you know the reason? Did something happen to Meng De when he was with Leader Yuan just now?"

"Well, it's true that something bad happened." The potter's face was very heavy.

When Xiahou Dun heard the potter's tone, he became a little nervous: "Why is it so serious that I have to leave overnight?"

The potter turned his head, looked around, and then whispered in Xiahou Dun's ear, "Brother Meng De killed Yuan Shao."

"What?!!"

Xiahou Dun jumped three feet high in shock.

"Medical"

The potter quickly patted the pale Xiahoudun, raised a finger in a hissing tone, and whispered, "It's amazing, your master is just so pissy."

"Because of what?" Xiahou Dun didn't react for a while, his tone was obviously weak, and he seemed weak.

The potter pointed to the sky inscrutablely: "The secret of the sky must not be revealed, take me to him!"

Chapter 50 Common Pursuit

Xiahou Dun looked anxious, and while leading the potters to Cao Cao's tent, he asked in a low voice, "Master Tao, you are here to arrest Meng De, right?"

"Do I look like me?" The pottery merchant stretched out his hands and said with a smile, "Have you ever seen an arrester who brought only four people?"

After a while of silence.

"Master Tao" Xiahoudun sighed helplessly, and finally came to his senses: "You frightened a certain person so much that even if it is a fake thing, why is it so easy to believe once you say it?" ?”

The pottery merchant smiled and replied modestly, "Because Tao is a gentleman."

When I entered Cao Cao's camp when I was young, I saw Cao Cao was holding a sword, looking down carefully at the color on it. Xiahou Dun seemed to be a little afraid of Cao Cao at this time, so he didn't dare to go in. He just invited the potter. gesture.

The potter made a "shh" gesture to Xiahou Dun, and then stepped into the tent.

At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes are staring at the sword in his hand without blinking, and the look in his eyes flickers on and off, as if he is in a daze, or seems to be thinking.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Cao Cao didn't turn his head. He just asked calmly, "Have the soldiers packed up? Can we leave tonight?"

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Meng De has less than ten thousand soldiers, and only a thousand horses. With such strength, if he chased them alone, it would be the case that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses were scattered because of moving millions of people. I'm afraid the chief is hitting a stone with an egg, and it won't be easy to please."

Cao Cao trembled when he heard the words, turned around suddenly, and stared closely at the potter behind him.

The moment Cao Cao turned his head, Tao Shang suddenly saw the undisguised ferocity and domineering in the light of his hazy eyes and two pupils.

Although it was only fleeting, the situation was clearly captured by the potter.

The real character of a hero, the potter secretly sighed,

"It's you?" Cao Cao's eyes dissipated, he turned around silently and continued to wipe the sword in his hand, and said, "Young Master Tao is here, I don't know if I have something to advise."

The potter couldn't help being amused when he heard this.

Cao Cao called himself Mr. Tao today instead of Brother Tao. Obviously, when the princes were discussing whether to pursue or not to pursue in Shuai Zhang, the Tao merchant did not stand up to support him, which made Cao Cao face everyone alone. Conceived, minded, had trouble with each other.

Traitors can also play petty, how come people in their thirties are not deep?

The pottery merchant was not angry, but still said very gently: "Brother Meng De didn't hear what my younger brother just said?"

Cao Cao's tone was very flat: "So what if I heard it? The emperor is in trouble and the people are being robbed. Is Cao going to be like the princes and stand on the sidelines? If this pursuit fails, it will be nothing but death."

The pottery merchant heaved a long sigh and said helplessly, "Brother Meng De, how do you know that I don't want to go with you?"

Cao Cao turned his head suddenly, stared at Tao Shang in amazement and said, "Young Master Tao! Brother Tao! What did you just say?"

The pottery merchant straightened his clothes, and solemnly said: "Everyone is responsible for the important affairs of the country! How can I, a pottery merchant, be the kind of person who doesn't understand the general situation? Naturally, I have to be a part of chasing Dong Zhuo. How can I let brother Mengde be alone? Serving the country alone?"

Cao Cao's face suddenly revealed a look of joy!

Finally someone is willing to stand by his side!

Just wanted to praise the potter, but Cao Cao suddenly thought of something again, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Tao, if he really wanted to, why didn't he speak up when he was in Yuan Benchu's big tent just now? Cao was yelling all by himself, It's shameless!"

The pottery merchant waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Are you still blaming me? You don't want to yell on your own, do you want the two of us to yell together? Brother Meng De, you are too impulsive today, so you don't think about it. Just now it was Yuan Shao He is also the leader of the alliance after all. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have a very high prestige. If someone else speaks disrespectfully, the big-eared scorpion will probably greet you. According to Tao, even if some princes agree with Brother Meng De, in order not to offend Yuan Shao, it is not easy to support you in person. Brother Meng De can't do that. Ever thought about it?"

Cao Cao's mind is very bright, just because he was worried about the country and the people, he was dazzled by anger for a while, but now he heard the words of the pottery merchant, and he suddenly realized: "Listen to what you said, brother, besides you, there should be more people. Someone agrees with Cao's opinion? It's just that it's inconvenient to speak out because of the occasion."

The pottery merchant nodded, and said: "Of course! I remember all the expressions and eyes of the princes in the tent just now, but now I have three suitable candidates in my mind. If you and I go to persuade them to pursue Dong Zhuo together, This chance of winning is much greater than going deep alone.”
