There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock and said, "What! Let me accompany him as a gift? Brother!"

The pottery merchant hastily waved his hand and said, "Mansion Sun, why are you doing this?"

Sun Jian was relentless, stared at Sun Ce, and said slowly, "What? It's hard to speak for my father now, isn't it?"

Sun Ce was stared at by Sun Jian, and his aura suddenly became cowardly. He gave the potter a gouging look, clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Tao! Please forgive Sun for his disrespect!"

The pottery merchant smiled, and hastily stretched out his hands to help him, saying: "Oh, brother, what are you doing? We are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. The title of big brother will be avoided, and you can just call it brother. Why are you still kneeling down and apologizing?" Huh? Didn't you kneel?"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and hissed, "Brother Tao, Mr. Sun has been taught."

Sun Jian also saw that the two were quite hostile, and in order to show grace to resolve the embarrassment, he immediately suggested: "Cer, otherwise, how about you and your elder brother Tao become brothers with different surnames?"

"Father, it's absolutely impossible and brother Tao may not be willing to do this, right?" Sun Ce exclaimed, looking at the pottery merchant rather unconfidently.

But seeing the pottery merchant touching his smooth chin, he seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter. It seemed that Brother Tao was not completely unhappy.

However, the pottery merchant knew that Sun Ce was hostile towards him, and if he really wanted to kowtow to become brothers with different surnames, it would probably be more uncomfortable for him than killing Sun Ce. And once he became sworn brothers, he would not want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. Sun Ce died earlier in history. , The potter felt that it was not worthwhile to be sworn brothers with him.

Thinking of this, the pottery merchant waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, the matter of sworn brotherhood should be avoided. Tao's life is hard, so don't let your son be a big brother."

Tao Shang was not greedy, and he felt that it was unnecessary to become a brother with Sun Ce, but Tao Shang felt quite content to be called big brother.

Sun Jian heaved a long sigh, but he was also helpless.

The Tao merchant coughed lightly, thinking not to chatter too much with Sun Jian, so as not to let people catch the pigtails in the future, and then said: "Mr. Sun, there will be a time later!"

Sun Jian nodded: "There will be a period later."

The potter turned to Sun Ce again: "Goodbye, brother."

Sun Ce: ""

The pottery merchant turned his head and went back, took two steps, but stopped suddenly, and said: "Mr. Sun, everything in this world is rigid and fragile, and nothing can be taken too far. If you go too far, sometimes you can't save it. "

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked towards the door of Quefei, and his figure slowly disappeared.

Sun Jian, on the other hand, stared straight at the potter's back, and muttered to himself, "You kid, why are you telling me this? What a weirdo!"

The potter didn't mean anything else when he said these words, but he just occasionally felt that he wanted Sun Jian to change his arrogance and disobedience, so as not to be taken advantage of by others in the future. This would also increase his chances of survival and prevent him from dying too early.

In history, after Sun Jian was stationed in Luyang, he was ordered by Yuan Shu to conquer Liu Biao and besiege Xiangyang, and then fought against Huang Zu who rescued Liu Biao. The number of soldiers shooting secretly from among the bamboo and wood is still a little bit arrogant, otherwise they would not have died so early.

It's not that the pottery merchant likes Sun Jian so much, it's just that he doesn't like Sun Ce too much. He and that kid basically have no temper. How could the potters stop?

If the potter chooses carefully, Tai still thinks that it is beneficial for him to have Sun Jian as the head of the Sun family.

Of course, everything has its own destiny, and sometimes it is not something that pottery can control. The power of one person is still limited after all.

After entering the Quefei Gate, just as Yuan Shu led his guards out, the potter bid farewell to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu also nodded politely, showing a good manner, but he didn't look at the potter more. Then walk away.

To Yuan Shu, the pottery merchant was nothing more than a small person, not worth mentioning.

Back at the place where Yuan Shao and the others were, Cao Cao was talking with Wang Yun, as if he was patiently consoling the old man, Master Situ, who seemed very irritated by the actions of Cao Cao and the Yuan brothers not taking them in. I thought about how one day I would smell worse than shit

It is estimated that Wang Yun was regretting why he had misjudged these white-eyed wolves at the beginning.

Taking advantage of this gap, the pottery merchant walked quickly to Yuan Shao's side, gave a salute, and said, "Leader Yuan, Tao has some heartfelt words that I want to tell you."

Yuan Shao glanced at the pottery merchant indifferently, as if he had expected that the pottery merchant would take the initiative to come to him.

Seeing that Wang Yunzheng and Cao Cao on the other side were arguing fiercely, and couldn't pay attention to his side for a moment, Yuan Shu immediately turned around and said, "Young Master Tao is coming with XX."

The potter followed closely behind Yuan Shao, and the two came under a huge pillar under the palace next to the square.

Yuan Shao looked at the potter with piercing eyes, and said, "Young Master Tao, do you have something to say to Yuan?"

The potter gave a salute, with a look of pain on his face, he said: "The pottery merchant of the Xuzhou army, who was the supervisor of the army, never got permission from the lord, and captured the thief general Xu Rong without permission, and he never handed it over to him. Now I'm here to plead guilty to the lord."

Yuan Shao's expression showed that he really knew about this matter. It seems that Sun Jian didn't lie to himself, and finally he told the truth.

"It's time for Mr. Tao to confess. Otherwise, Yuan will go to the Xuzhou army's barracks in person to ask Mr. what is his intention?"

Tao Shang made up Yuan Shao's dirty words in his mind, but he showed a troubled look on his face, and said: "The leader said this, but he made Tao difficult. In all honesty, it is true that Tao will win Xu Rong." His intention to surrender under the tent does not mean that Tao has a second heart, on the contrary, Tao's loyalty to the leader can attract the sun and the moon."

Yuan Shao hugged his arms, looking like an old god: "Oh? This is strange. Mr. Tao detained Xu Rong privately, but he said he was loyal to me? Yuan has to ask for advice carefully."

Chapter 81 Vassals

Yuan Shao's words were full of irony, and the pottery merchant could tell that Leader Yuan really cared about this matter in his heart.

A leader with great self-esteem needs to be respected and cared by the princes, not only from the body, but also from the heart.

The potter's behavior obviously hurt Yuan Shao's glassy heart. Obviously, writing a [-]-word self-criticism can't get away with it.

The pottery merchant sighed, and said: "After Yuan Gong's famous family, the name of heroism is well known in the country. Tao is in front of the leader, so let's tell the truth."

The name of heroism is well known in the country, but it is quite appetizing to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao himself is very wise, but he has a bit of vanity and vanity, and he has a problem, that is, he is subconsciously biased towards people who are as handsome as him.

Although Yuan Shao didn't think much of this handsome and well-mannered young man, he actually liked him a little. Him, peel off his three layers of skin first.

The tone of the pottery merchant's speech was very sincere, and he felt apologetic from the bottom of his heart.Yuan Shao couldn't help thinking in his heart: Regardless of other things, this child's self-cultivation temperament is that few people can be as big as my eldest son Yuan Tan and this child, but he doesn't have such elegance.

The pottery merchant didn't know what was going on in Yuan Shao's mind at the moment, so he raised his words and said, "Yuan Gong can actually see a little bit of my thoughts. There is no general in Xuzhou, and Xu Rong is a general who is good at using troops. Tao captured Xu Rong. I really want to try my luck, try to get him to join Xuzhou, and make him an important town for my Xuzhou army."

Yuan Shao nodded, and said dryly: "That's right, you don't have any other purpose besides this."

Tao Shang continued: "Xu Rong is after all a general under Dong Thief's command, and he detained him without authorization. He should be punished both emotionally and rationally, but Shang's move is ultimately to keep Xuzhou safe. Besides, the better Xuzhou develops, it is really against Yuan Gong is more beneficial."

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slowly, and the gaze from the gap was directly on the potter's face: "What does your Xuzhou's development have to do with Yuan?"

The potter didn't explain directly, but asked Yuan Shao instead: "President Yuan thinks, what is the relationship between Changsha prefect Sun Fujun and the rear general?"

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, not knowing why the pottery merchant asked this, and said, "Gaolu and Sun Wentai have always had a good relationship."

"The leader just now had an argument with Sun Jian about the jade seal, why didn't Yuan Shu come forward to speak for Sun Jian, and secretly leaked the matter to the leader?"

Yuan Shao waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Although their private education is good, but Sun Jian's hiding of the jade seal is a big treason after all, so naturally Gonglu will not help him anymore."

Having said this, Yuan Shao suddenly stopped talking, as if he had figured out something.

If Yuan Shu really couldn't understand Sun Jian's behavior, then Shicai should stand on the same front with him and attack Sun Jian with words and pens together, but his performance just now was silent.

The matter of Sun Jian's hiding of the jade seal happened so quickly that Yuan Shao rushed to his head in anger. He didn't think about it carefully, but now he calmed down. After being mentioned a little bit by others, he immediately realized that he seemed to have been played by Yuan Shu!

Yuan Shao is still a wise and intelligent person at heart, the reason why he didn't think about it just now is because people in this era pay too much attention to jade seals, and when a person pays special attention to a certain thing, it is easy to ignore some other sticking points People who are not from this era do not take Yuxi very seriously, so they are the first to wake up. This is the reason why the so-called bystanders are clear.
