After Yuan Wan had eaten, the potter prepared a clean tent for her, and asked the soldiers to prepare hot water and clean clothes, so that she could wash her body carefully in the tent.

After seeing Mrs. Feng's injuries, the medical officer also said that she was fine.

Speaking of which, the potter's hand is actually quite measured, although he is annoyed, but the fight is not very heavy, after all, he is a gentleman, and he can't be as arrogant as a scoundrel.

Compared with the trauma, Mrs. Feng may have been more frightened.

After settling the two widows of the Yuan family, the pottery merchant began to prepare for the withdrawal of the army again, and sent someone to inform Zhao Yun that the two widows of the Yuan family were now found by him, and asked him to quickly lead Ji Ling to join the army with him and come back to see him.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, the potter wanted to rest, but just in time, Yan Ji's urgent military situation was sent to the potter's hands.

In the military situation, Sima Yi's thoughts on Cao Jun's desire to subdue Chang Feng were stated in detail, and the pottery merchant was reported that Sima Yi and Wang Ling had already exhausted the soldiers in the county and went straight to the territory of Taishan County.

After reading it, the potter took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Cao Cao is really not comparable to Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Lu Bu and others, one hand after another, how many tricks can he use that is unguardable?

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are still young, and their skills are not yet at the level of those monster strategists under Cao Cao, but this time against Cao Cao, both of them have also played a huge role, and if they are trained again in the future, they should be enough to be independent.

Therefore, the two county orders of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi still have to be continued.

"Pei Qian!" The potter greeted.

When he was young, he saw Pei Qian walk in: "What do you have to say?" ”

"Find Xu Huang and Guan Hai."

Pei Qian took the order and left, and when he was young, he saw the two of them walk into the handsome tent.

"Taifu, are you calling me to wait?"

The pottery merchant analyzed the state of Sima Yi's Taishan army and Cao army to the two of them, and then instructed the two of them: "At present, Sima Yi and Wang Ling will jointly send troops to Taishan County to support, but Taishan County is the territory of Cao's army, and there are not many soldiers in Chaoqiu County, and the combat power is not very strong, even if they have support, it is difficult to come to Tai Shi Ci and Zang Ba alone, I am afraid that they will be in danger, you two quickly gather all the Taishan battalion soldiers in our army, and go to support quickly, don't let Tai Shi Ci and Sima Yi have any mistakes." ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he said: "The last general will take the order!" However, if you act like this, then the general will suggest that you also ask Taifu not to return to Pengcheng for the time being, you need to first display the soldiers on the border of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, as a deterrent, so that Cao Cao thinks that Taifu intends to take advantage of the victory to enter the Central Plains, so that Cao's army will be newly guarded against Taifu, and there will be no army to Taishan County to support in the short term, so we will rescue Tai Shici and others, and the chances of victory are greater. ”

Xu Huang's strategy and calm and sophisticated character made the potters feel deeply admired.

In the Cao Group, which is full of good generals in history, it is indeed worthy of his reputation to be listed as one of the five good generals.

"Okay, according to Gongming's words, Tao will not return to Pengcheng for the time being, I will put pressure on Cao Cao in Xuchang here, and the support from Taishan County will be handed over to Gongming."

Xu Huang said loudly: "Don't worry, Taifu, the end will definitely succeed!" ”

After that, the potter turned to Guan Hai again and said to him: "Guan Hai, you gathered people in Qingzhou back then, and in terms of the geography of the activity, it can be regarded as close to Taishan County and Langya County, and you were also a member of the green forest back then, so you must be somewhat familiar with the routines of Taishan County. ”

After Guan Hai surrendered to the pottery merchants, the first great contribution he made was to persuade Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang and others, but he did not participate in a major battle, even if he fought against Cao Jun this time, he was only serving as a town guard in the back camp.

Now that he finally got a chance to fight, Guan Hai was naturally excited, and he also wanted to let the potter see his true ability, so he hurriedly agreed.

After the two men left, the potter ordered the battalions to cancel the plan to return to Pengcheng, and instead ordered the battalions to prepare to divert to the west, and set up the soldiers and horses on the border between Yuzhou and Xuzhou, so as to attract the attention of Cao Cao of Xuchang.

Since Cao Mengde wants to play with me, then let's have a good time.

On the second day after the order was given, a man rushed from Jinling City to the potter's camp.

It was the benefactor who raised filial piety for the pottery merchant - Xu Jing.

Since the demise of the Punch Ling, Xu Jing has taken refuge in the pottery merchant, and in view of the fact that Xu Jing had been in Jiaozhou for a period of time at that time, and had a close relationship with Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, so the pottery merchant has always asked him to be his messenger to communicate with Shixie, hoping to get the support of Jiaozhi Shixie, and it is best to become an ally.

Shixie's strength is not weak, he occupies the land of the four counties, and owns most of the territory of Lingnan.

However, Shi Xie's territory is far away from Middle-earth, and there are big forces such as Liu Biao, Zhang Shi, and Tao Shang in the north and northeast.

However, the pottery merchant was not interested in Shixie's city and soldiers and horses, and the main reason for his good relationship with Shixie was to get Zhancheng rice.

Champa rice was introduced into China during the Song Dynasty, its birthplace was central and southern Vietnam, after the introduction of China, it was vigorously promoted in Jianghuai and Zhejiang, and became the dominant food crop in the Yangtze River Basin.

Nowadays, all the land of the Yangtze River is in the hands of potters, and although the farming in the south of the Yangtze River has been far better than in the past over the years, the potters still have hope for Champa rice.

In the potter's philosophy - grasshoppers are also meat! If you can get it, you will never let go! If you can't pick up money on the street, you can lose it!

If they can really get Champa rice, and give the potters two years to promote it throughout the Yangtze River, the potters believe that the mass production of grain under their command will reach an earth-shattering number.

Moreover, such as Yuzhang County and Huiji County, which have a very wide area, but are still relatively backward in development, agriculture is naturally the most important foundation for economic development.

Historically, during the reign of the Song Dynasty, after the Fujian region obtained 30,000 Hu Zhancheng rice, the agricultural grain harvest has been qualitatively developed, and since then it has become the economic farming land in the southeast.

And the potter had a hunch this time, he felt that Xu Jing came to see him in a hurry, and it was very likely that it was for the sake of Zhancheng Rice.

Sure enough, after seeing the potter, Xu Jing immediately said: "Taifu, there is news about Zaohe!" ”

"Zaohe?" The potter was stunned when he heard this: "What is that?" ”

Xu Jing said with a smile: "That's what you said about Champa rice, I inquired many times in the next and learned that this grain is from Linyi country!" More than 60 years ago, my Han Dynasty Xianglin County Gongcao District Company led thousands of soldiers and horses to occupy the county seat, killed the county order, and then opened up the territory, proclaimed himself the king of Linyi, and later passed on his grandson Fan Xiong, after the death of the bear, the current Linyi leader is named Fan Yi, Yi has the heart to rebuild the old friendship with our dynasty, especially his close neighbors, that is, Shixie and Jiangdong Tao, so he intends to offer early rice seeds, as a gift of worship. ”

The potter was overjoyed when he heard this.

"When will the rice seeds arrive?"

Xu Jing said: "The rice seeds can be shipped to Jinling City at any time, but at the moment, Fan Yi, the head of Linyi, wants us to exchange the salt and iron of our Jinling City, I don't know ...... this matter."

Hearing this, the potter pondered for a while, and said for a while: "Salt can be given to him, but iron tools are absolutely not good, Middle-earth will be unified sooner or later in the future, Linyi was also my Han territory sixty years ago, and it cannot be discarded, I can't supply my iron tools to future opponents to increase their strength...... Even the weakest opponent can't. ”

Xu Jing stroked his beard when he heard this, and said, "The old man understands, and I will negotiate this matter later." ”

The potter said with emotion: "It's really hard to work for Gong Xu, I have already been on the table of the Son of Heaven, restore the identity of Xu Gong Shangshulang, go back and talk to Fan Yi of Linyi, just say that our Jinling wars are frequent, and the iron is too busy to take care of himself, and he really can't supply him, if there are other things, any salt, mine, grain, gold, and pottery can be." ”

"Taifu rest assured, his subordinates can save it, and he has to fight for Zaohe's rice seeds for Taifu."

Speaking of this, Xu Jing suddenly said again: "Taifu, when I walked back from Jiaozhi this time, I talked to Shi Xie, his spy was in Jingzhou, and it seems that he got a rather secret news. ”

The potter raised his eyebrows.

Liu Biao is still an ally of the potters, and the arrangement of the school government in Jingzhou is far less than that of Hebei and the Central Plains, so some things are easy to ignore.

"What's the secret news?"

Xu Jing took a deep breath and said: "At the moment, Liu Biao seems to have a close relationship with Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao is an enemy with Taifu and Cao Cao in terms of political tendencies, and Taifu must be on guard against him." ”
