Chapter 51: Bao Xin
After listening to the potter's words, Cao Cao also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Liu Xuande is quite heroic! It is indeed a true hero who can be heart-to-heart. Cao Cao said with emotion.
The potter saw that Cao Cao had recovered his spirits, and it didn't seem that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, he looked quite refreshed, and it seemed that he had really returned to normal.
Tao Shang nodded with a smile and said: "Since this is the case, then I will bother Brother Meng De to go to Liu Xuande's side to show the pros and cons of righteousness, and Tao will find the other two people, after the matter is completed, we can quickly send troops." ”
Cao Cao didn't object, but said curiously: "Who are the other two princes that Brother Tao wants to find?" ”
All the way was Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, his face was unhappy, obviously dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's opinion...... There is also a way, it is Sun Jian, from the time of the dispute between you and Yuan Mengzhu, Sun Jian has been closing his eyes and keeping silent. ”
Cao Cao nodded after listening to the words of the pottery merchant, and said: "Since this is the case, the princes of these two roads will be persuaded by the virtuous brothers, and Cao will go to Liu Bei first...... In addition, Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, and has a good relationship with Cao, and he can also go to talk about it from Cao! ”
***********************************
After discussing with Cao Cao, the two parted ways, with Cao Cao going to Liu Bei and Zhang Miao, and potters going to Bao Xin and Sun Jian.
The potters first went to Bao Xin's camp.
In Dong Zhuo's military camp, Cao Cao proposed to pursue Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both insisted on standing still, watching from the wall, and all the princes responded one after another, obviously with the two Yuan horses as the head.
But the potter observed very carefully, and he found that among the princes, the prince with the most unhappy face, annoyed face but inconvenient to get angry was Bao Xin.
Therefore, the potter guessed that Bao Xin agreed with Cao Cao's point of view in his heart, but because of the authority and affection of the alliance leader, it was inconvenient to take the initiative to stand up and help him speak.
Especially Cao Cao was dizzy, and said in public 'the lack of vertical son and conspiracy', which directly offended all the princes, Bao Xin is not cheap, he is classified as a 'vertical son' faction, and he got up to agree with the fart.
If the pottery merchant is not mistaken, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Bao Xin was conquered by He Jin, and belonged to the same political camp as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and was considered a colleague.
After the potter joined the alliance, he also had several contacts with Bao Xin, one of the most painful of which was when the potter formed an alliance, Bao Xin forced himself to cut his wrist with a knife.
Through this period of contact, the pottery merchant felt that Bao Xin had a deep feeling for this stormy Han family, and he was a loyal figure, especially Bao Xin was not very arrogant compared to other princes, but he was a little rigid in doing things, and he was relatively objective and fair in his life, and he was not very greedy.
When later generations read the history books, it was recorded that after Liu Dai was killed in a rebellion, Bao Xinli invited Cao Cao to enter Yanzhou to preside over the overall situation.
Based on these factors, and the careful observations of today's potters, the potters believed that Bao Xin would definitely accept his invitation and become a member of the pursuing army.

led the four brothers of the Pei family to the camp of Bao Xin, and the potter asked Pei Qian to go to Yuanmen on his behalf to inform the guards on his behalf, convey it on his behalf, and abide by the way of etiquette.
Not long after Pei Qian went, he saw Bao Xin, who was dressed in military uniform, striding a meteor and personally coming to Yuanmen to greet the potter.
"Tao Gongzi!" Bao Xin arched his hand at Tao Qian with a straight face: "Bao Xin is late, tired boy is waiting here, I'm really ashamed!" Come, come, come into the camp and speak. ”
Bao Xin was very polite, and did not disdain the potter because of his young age, but seemed very respectful...... Except for the time when the blood was cut by the potter's wrist.
The potter liked Bao Xin's style of life very much, and had a good impression of this person, thinking that he was upright and courageous enough.
A gentleman likes people with high quality.
The pottery merchant replied: "General Bao is polite, this camp, Tao will not go in, there is an important matter to come here today, I want to talk to General Bao alone, or let's go around this camp...... Wandering around? ”
Bao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be curious - this kid didn't go back to sleep at night, and he didn't enter my camp yet...... Instead, he asked himself to take a walk and let off steam, what kind of routine is this?
I can't think about it, but Bao Xin still didn't refuse, waved his hand and retreated, and the potter also ordered the four brothers of the Pei family to wait for him in front of the gate, and then he and Bao Xin began to scatter side by side around the camp.
"Tao Gongzi, it's not early, I came to find Bao at such a time, I don't know what is important?" Bao Xin didn't believe that the Tao Chamber of Commerce was idle and had nothing to do to find his legs, so he asked suspiciously.
The potter did not answer directly, but asked: "In the next day, I heard that Yuan Mengzhu and General Cao had their own opinions on whether to pursue Dong Zhuo or not, and they had a lot of experience, but some things were still not clear and tossed and turned, so I came to ask General Bao for advice." ”
"Oh?" Bao Xin came to his senses when he heard this, shrugged his eyebrows and said, "I can't imagine that Tao Gongzi is actually suspicious of this matter?" That's interesting...... However, Bao Mou wanted to ask, there are so many people among the princes of the coalition army, why did Gongzi come to ask Bao for advice? ”
The pottery merchant smiled at Bao Xin and said, "Because when the blood was spent, it was General Bao who released the blood for Tao...... Tao feels like you owe me. “
Bao Xin: "............"
This kid is a little underspoken.
Seeing that Bao Xin seemed to have a rough impulse, the pottery merchant immediately changed his words: "I have long heard that General Bao and Yuan Mengzhu and General Cao once served in the same division in Beijing, and they have a lot of friendship, and General Bao is one of the few loyal and upright people in the world. ”
"Hahaha~~." Bao Xin laughed when he heard this, and his eyebrows seemed to be happy to dance: "Tao Gongzi is not a weak crown when he is young, but he is quite good at praising people, Bao Mou doesn't eat this fan." ”
The eyeballs flew out with joy...... Do you still say you don't want to eat this set?
"How dare you." After the potter replied, he suddenly changed his words: "Why should General Bao be so humble, the merchant came to you just to find justice!" Today, General Cao and Yuan Mengzhu discussed whether to pursue Dong Zhuo, and all the princes adopted Yuan Mengzhuo's opinion, and the potters wanted to ask you...... Regardless of whether the strategy is right or wrong, is it right or wrong for us to let the Son of Heaven be moved west by Dong Zhuo? ”
Bao Xin became serious: "Gongzi of the Tao family, what do you mean by this, but are you blaming the alliance leader for stagnation and delaying the rescue?" ”
The potter shook his head and said, "The potter doesn't dare...... Again, the potter was just puzzled and came to ask for advice. ”
Bao Xin smiled pitifully and said, "You are confused...... It's good to be confused! Believe it or not, based on what you just said, Bao can immediately ask the alliance to cure your crimes! I'm going to hang you on the gate and we're scrapped! ”
