Chapter 821: Gossip
"Hahaha! …… Ahem, ahem! ”
After listening to Liu Bei's report, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing, but because he laughed too hard, he was careless, but he choked himself, and almost didn't cough out his lung tube after laughing.
"Brother!" Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward, helped Liu Biao, and stroked his back vigorously for him.
Liu Biao coughed vigorously for a while, and then waved his hand to Liu Bei, indicating that it was okay.
When he was young, he saw him smile at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande has worked hard, and you have made great contributions this time." ”
Liu Bei hurriedly shook his head: "Bei is just a pawn, where to talk about any credit, it is all the brother's proper command." ”
Cao Cao sat next to him, quietly watching Liu Biao and Liu Bei's brothers playing, and a sneering smile quickly flashed on the corner of his mouth.
But that little smile was only a flash, and Cao Cao's expression quickly turned worried.
"Brother Jingsheng, you still need to take care of your body, you are the courage of the three armies, and your safety is related to the three armies."
Liu Biao said with a smile: "There is Lao Mengde who is concerned, you can rest assured, the old man is just contaminated with a little illness, and it will not hinder the big thing." ”
Cao Cao nodded and said with emotion: "That's good, that's good." ”
Liu Biao looked at him: "Meng De, our design this time, the secret attack on the potter's granary, although it was not completed, but it also burned part of his grain and grass, what should we do next." ”
Cao Cao touched his beard and said with a smile: "I have also discussed this matter with many people under my command, thinking that the potter has a strong foundation and a lot of money and grain, even if he burns his front-line grain, but he will be requisitioned from the rear, he will definitely be able to collect it completely, but it will take time to think that it will take time, if we take advantage of this time period to storm the potter, and spread the message among his army, messing with his army, it will be done!" ”
Liu Biao seemed to understand Cao Cao's thoughts, he stroked his white beard, and pondered: "What Meng De means, is it a preemptive strike?" ”
Cao Cao nodded: "If you don't take advantage of this time to attack, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future." Cao is willing to be a pioneer! ”
When Liu Biao heard Cao Cao say this, his suspicions suddenly rose.
Cao Cao is also a prince, this person is treacherous and cunning, resourceful and decisive, he will definitely not make a loss-making business.
He was so anxious to be a pioneer against the potters, what must be said in this?
Isn't the potter really powerless at the moment? At a weak hour?
If this is the case, then I can't let Cao Cao fight for this first!
At that moment, I saw Liu Biao standing up with a smile and said to Cao Cao: "Since it is the critical season to decide victory or defeat, then how can we let Cao Gong's army go alone, this matter is a major matter related to each family, we need to work together?" ”
After that, Liu Biao turned to the other side, Zhang Ren, who led the troops to help the battle on behalf of Liu Zhang, and said, "General Zhang, do you say yes or no?" ”
Zhang Ren didn't answer directly, he just stood up and arched his hand at Liu Biao and said: "Under the orders of the lord, come to conspire with the general, how the general acts, then how he acts." ”
"Good!" Liu Biao patted the table and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's go to battle with the whole army, and don't give the potters a chance to breathe!" ”
Cao Cao laughed secretly.
Liu Biao really fell into his own way.
Cao Cao is now afraid that the Sanliu Group will not fight hard with the potters, and they will consume it, but Cao Cao can't afford it.
After all, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang is even more shrinking in Yizhou, and in the face of the pressure of pottery merchants, soldiers and horses, they are far less than Cao Cao's.
Cao Cao didn't expect this alliance to destroy the potters, but he hoped that with this alliance, he could defeat as much power as the potters were.
……
A few days later, the potter's camp spread rumors that the grain and grass had been burned, that the rear could not raise grain and grass, and that the three armies were about to run out of food.
For a time, there were rumors in the entire Jinling army, and ordinary soldiers told each other about each other, and the three armies fell into a panic for a while.
"Hey!" Xu Chu stomped his foot fiercely, and said angrily: "Regarding the grain matter, the prime minister has ordered someone to completely block the news, which goddamn bastard leaked the news, and caused gossip in the camp, and the generals of the various departments desperately tried to block the rumors, but they couldn't stop it!" This, but how is this good? ”
The potter looked at a slip in his hand and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he saw him raise his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, since you can't stop those rumors, then let the rumors spread in the army, I think it's not our people who spread the news." ”
Xu Chu looked at the potter in confusion and said, "What does the prime minister mean that this news was spread by the enemy?" ”
The pottery merchant nodded and said, "It should be spread by Cao Caojun's people, maybe it is Jia Xu who is in charge of the Eagle and Snake Mansion, this person had better get these tricks...... If my expectations are correct, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others are about to launch a major attack, and before the attack, it is necessary to spread rumors to disturb the hearts of our army. ”
Xu Chu could understand the potter's words, but he didn't understand his approach.
"Prime Minister, even if it wasn't our own people, then you can't let the news spread around?"
The potter spread his hands and said with a smile: "There are many people, how can you let me block their mouths one by one?" You teach me. ”
Xu Chu was speechless.
After a while, I saw him shaking his huge head and said, "Anyway, a certain family's head is not better than yours, you must have something to do!" ”
The potter smiled: "There is a way, the so-called blockage is better than sparse, rather than forcing their mouths to be controlled, it is better to open their hearts directly." ”
Obviously, such a profound method, with Xu Chu's intelligence, is still completely incomprehensible.
Looking at Xu Chu's cute expression, the potter couldn't help laughing.
He stood up, walked up to the potter, and said to him, "You will soon give an order to the three armies, and let all the generals above the centurion be gathered in the school ground, and I have something to announce to them." ”
Although he didn't understand what the potter was going to do, Xu Chu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed the potter's order to pass on the general's order.
……
At noon, all the generals and officers above the centurion of the three armies gathered in the school grounds.
When he was young, he saw the potter leading Xu Chu and Ah Fei to the stage, he glanced at the generals below and said, "There have been rumors in the camp recently. ”
When all the people heard this, their ears pricked up.
"Grain and grass is the top priority, but also the lifeblood of our army, some time ago, our army's grain was attacked by Cao Liu and other rebellious thieves, and there were losses, which I do not deny."
Hearing the potter's confession, the generals of the three armies couldn't help but be a little surprised, and they exchanged their heads and muttered.
As if he hadn't seen it, the potter continued slowly: "The loss is there, but it is definitely not as big as the rumors, if nothing else, this is the rebels' chaotic plan, in order to break this rumor, I will first distribute the grain and grass for the 15th to the battalions today, and the generals of each battalion will deploy them for the soldiers under their command, so as to calm the hearts of the army!" ”
