That night, the potter was studying the geography of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu with Guo Jia, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

After a while, he saw Pei Qian striding in front of the pottery merchant and said to him: "Prime Minister, Cao Pi has sent someone to deliver a letterhead again." ”

"So fast?" The potter was stunned when he heard this: "I thought he needed to plan for a long time, but I didn't expect to have such a speed of action, which is really amazing, it seems that this kid's wisdom is really beyond my imagination...... Have real skill. ”

Guo Jia stepped forward, took the letter from Pei Qian's hand, then looked at it carefully, and said, "Cao Pi, this kid, what you said before was the truth...... At present, Cao Ang is really in secret contact with the seven surnamed Yi King Pu Hu, but that Pu Hu doesn't seem to fully cater to him, but just accepts Cao Ang's benefits and accepts Cao Ang's promise, in order not to offend both. ”

"What a soft bone, what I hate most in my life is people like Pu Hu who have no position." The potter said lightly: "What else did Cao Pi say in the letter?" ”

Guo Jia looked at the letter, and unconsciously, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good boy, he actually said that he wanted the prime minister to organize a small number of elite soldiers and horses, and secretly captured Cao Ang at Pu Hu, thinking that he was a hostage, and forced Cao Cao to surrender."

The potter couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "What kind of Tao is this?" ”

Guo Jia continued to look at the letter and said, "Cao Pi means that since Pu Hu wants to eat both sides, then he might as well advise Cao Ang and ask him to propose to Pu Hu that the leaders of the two sides go to his side, thinking that peace can be negotiated, and if the border can be demarcated in the end, it will be better if each side can withdraw its troops." ”

The potter nodded abruptly and said, "Can this thing be successful?" ”

Guo Jia thought seriously for a while, and said: "Pu Hu accepted bribes from both parties, he is afraid that the two parties will retaliate against him in the future, if he can successfully promote this matter, he should be able to extricate himself from this predicament, so in Guo's opinion, this matter may become ten **." ”

The potter nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since this is the case, then it is really worth a try, if you can catch Cao Ang, even if you can't threaten Cao Cao, but you can also greatly reduce the morale of the enemy, in this way, it will also be of great benefit to our future division of troops to attack." At least it can confuse the hearts of the enemy, so that they have no time to take care of it. ”

Guo Jia seemed to be a little confused, he looked at the potter suspiciously, and said strangely: "Prime Minister said that he wanted to divide the army?" This Sword Pavilion Dao has not yet broken through, we are still far from the Chengdu Plain, how to divide the troops? ”

Tao Cheng looked at Deng Ai fixedly, and said, "Do you know the Yinping Ancient Road?" ”

"Yin Ping Ancient Road?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Naturally, I know, is the prime minister intending?" ”

The potter nodded and said, "The Sword Pavilion Ancient Road is too difficult to fight, I don't know when it will be a head if it continues like this, I want to follow the example of the ancients...... Divide the troops to smuggle through Yinping. ”

"Imitate the ancients?" Guo Jia was a little confused: "Which ancient man did this?" ”

The potter paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "To be precise, it is to imitate the descendants......

"How to imitate? Who is emulating? ”

The potter's face sank: "Why are you willing to ask so much?" Does it have anything to do with you? Who do you care who that person is, and you don't know him? ”

Guo Jia sniffed and said: "The main thing is that I want to know who this person is, I have to go over and scold him for being a fool, Yinping Road from Lintao to the south, extremely difficult, with the knowledge of the people in Shu, Yinping Zhengdao should be ambushed, if you want to bypass it, you can only take Yinping Mountain Road, it is said that the Motianling is like a ghost gate, among the cliffs, there is no way to find, I heard that after people go in, they often can't go in, they can't get out, and finally die in vain in the mountains, does the prime minister want to take such a road? ”

The potter paused, and said: "The Jinling arsenal has rushed to produce a large number of newly invented mountaineering tools, which can be used to cross the mountains and mountains. ”

Guo Jia looked at him fixedly, as if he couldn't believe it.

When he was young, Fang heard him say: "Then can you trouble the prime minister, if you really want to enter the mountain, first determine who will inherit the inheritance, so as to get rid of your worries." ”

He was answered by a flurry of punches and kicks from the potter.

……

In the Sword Pavilion Pass, Cao Cao also received a letter from Cao Ang, which stated Cao Pi's strategy this time.

"Well, that's good." Cao Cao stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Cao really didn't mistake this kid this time, but he was quite capable of coming up with such a solution, and it was not in vain that Cao scared him this time." ”

After speaking, he saw Cao Cao stretch out the letterhead in his hand and hand it to several military advisors on the side.

After reading it, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others lowered their heads, as if they were thinking about the stakes.

Jia Xu read what Cao Ang said in the letter, and he didn't know why, but he was a little uneasy.

After Cheng Yu saw it, he said: "This Pu Hu, who collects benefits left and right, but does not have a clear attitude, is really hateful, but this is fine, let's pretend to ask him to help mediate, he will definitely agree, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the meeting between the two parties, concentrate the elite forces, and take down the potter, Xichuan in one fell swoop...... Oh no, the world is in danger. ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is exactly the reason, but the soldiers and horses in Yi Zixiu's hands now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve such a difficult task, and it must be the old man himself to go out to do it." ”

Xun You said: "The difficulty is that you can't lead too many people and horses, otherwise, it will make the other party suspicious, but there are fewer people and horses, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take the life of the potter." ”

Cao Cao sighed: "In other words, this time the soldiers and horses are not much more expensive, it seems that we still have to discuss with Liu Bei to see who should be sent." ”

……

The potter and Cao Cao got the information separately and began to prepare secretly, while Pu Hu was so happy that he almost didn't jump.

"Hahaha, God help me!"

Pu Hu clapped his hands on the spot and laughed happily: "I originally received the benefits of both sides, but I don't know how to reply to the two parties in the future, I didn't expect that Cao Jun saw the Jinling Army now, and actually took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Jinling Army, so it has to be through my matchmaking, haha, very good!" ”

Pu Hu's subordinates were also very happy one by one, and they praised Pu Hu vigorously, saying: "The king is wise! ”

Only Wang Ping felt a little unsteady in his heart, and said: "King, the general always feels that something is wrong with this matter, the Cao army and the Jinling army are in the same situation, how can they suddenly ask the king to draw the line and negotiate peace with the Jinling army?" Could there be something strange in this? ”

Pu Hu snorted and said: "Wang Ping, you kid is too careful, Cao Jun is not a fool, the Jinling Army is so powerful, the Sword Pavilion is strong, sooner or later there will be a day when it will be broken, once it is broken, Cao Cao's house falls into the hands of the potter, can it have a good end?" ”
