Chapter 544: The Potter's Grain

On the battlefield, the hail was caught in the rain, cold and hard, constantly hitting the heads of the generals and soldiers in the field, cold and hard, smashing everyone's body up and down.

In this case, let alone fighting back and forth with weapons, the soldiers on both sides hated to give birth to an extra arm to protect their heads from being hit by hail.

But even if it is, it may not be able to protect the brain.

And the trend of rain and hail is obviously getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that the situation is almost a bit of a downpour.

In this helpless situation, the two sides could only temporarily withdraw their troops and retreat to the rear to avoid natural disasters, so that they could try to achieve after-effects in the future.

Although this is the case, among the generals who are fighting, there are still some people who don't want to stop.

Among them, it is natural to take the ugliness as the most.

Wen Chou didn't desperately cover his head with his hands like others, but let the hail, the size of the bean, fall on his head melon.

Wen Chou Shicai and Tai Shi Ci fought fiercely, and he didn't even know where the helmet fell, and now his entire head was completely exposed, without any protective measures, and those hailstones smashed on his head in a row, and in an instant, his head was smashed into a big bag, just like Shakya.

Tai Shi Ci saw Wen Chou with a big head, and he still looked at himself fiercely, and goosebumps rose in his heart.

This surnamed Wen is too domineering, he is not afraid of pain at all.

This is a hailstorm, if this is a brick, he will be covered in blood, see if he can still have the strength to stare at himself.

Tai Shi Ci used the halberd in his hand to stir with those hailstones in the sky, and slowly retreated, while staring cautiously at Wen Chou, in case this guy suddenly attacked.

Wen Chou glared at Tai Shi Ci with his eyebrows wide, and when he was young, he heard him roar: "Tai Shi Ci, you wait!" I will avenge my eldest brother's revenge! Sooner or later, the two of us will face off with each other! ”

……

A huge hailstorm ended the first fierce battle between the two sides, but the battle of Guandu was not over, and after the hail stopped, Yuan Shao successively sent generals back and forth to bombard the Guandu Tuzhai in turn, but the scale was far less than the first time.

In just seven days, around the Guandu Tuzhai, more than 30 battles were fought in small densities.

Although both sides have their own victories and defeats, Cao Cao and the pottery merchants, who are the main generals, can see that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are too many, and although they are currently within the boundaries of the Central Plains, the advantage is still gradually moving closer to Yuan Shao's side.

In order to avoid turmoil in the hearts of the army, Cao Cao could only consult with the pottery merchants at the moment.

"Yuan Shao's power is too great, and it is not easy to maintain the fighting spirit and morale of the three armies against so many of his generals, but at the moment, our affairs are too messy, and in terms of grain and grass, Cao is far less strong than Yuan Shao, and it will be delayed for a long time, I am afraid it will be ......."

The potter smiled faintly and said, "Brother Meng De, if you face Yuan Shao's monstrous army alone, for you, the grain and grass of this war may be a huge problem, but at the moment, you are joining forces with me to compete with Yuan Shao, and in terms of grain and grass, my Jinling City will solve it for you...... Rest assured, it's enough. ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the potter in disbelief.

The surname Tao provides me with food and grass? Isn't this kid a brain that let the stray arrow be shot, right?

After being silent for a long time, Fang listened to Cao Cao's suspicious words: "Grain and grass...... Given to me? ”

The potter nodded vigorously: "It was given to you." ”

"Given for nothing? Don't want money? ”

"Theoretically, I don't want money, but if Brother Meng De really doesn't want to go, you can give me some with the appropriate meaning."

"It's got to be something!" Cao Cao directly said the doubts in his chest: "Give things to others for nothing, this is not your style, Cao Mou has a heart...... I'm scared. ”

The potter smiled and said, "Because I am a decent gentleman." ”

"You can't even fool Yuan Shao now, and you still come to play this cheap trick with Cao? Hurry up and tell the truth, or I'll be in a hurry with you! "Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, no matter what the potter says, he just doesn't believe it.

The potter was not happy.

Damn! Give you something for nothing, you look at your trembling, looking forward to the future and dying!

This son brought you grain and grass and took out the problem, right?

"Brother Meng De, if you really can't believe Tao, you can not ...... this grain and grass Don't get it, I spend money to beg you for my favor, I have millions of people in the southeast, and there are many people who want to eat, so I don't necessarily have to give it to you for consumption. The potter's face sank, and he directly overturned the preface.

Cao Cao knew that the potter was a master who turned his face and didn't recognize people seven years ago, and he was an elegant gentleman on the surface, but in fact, he turned his face and didn't recognize people.

He immediately waved his hand and said: "If Cao Mou doesn't mean this, Brother Tao must not be surprised!" The brother is so generously supportive, Cao is naturally the one who wants this love, and he still wants grain and grass. ”

The potter rolled his eyes.

Cheap skin, it's easy to talk about it, and you don't do it, you have to hurt you two sentences to be comfortable.

The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Meng De is sure you want the grain and grass of my Xuzhou army?" You don't have to force it, I don't necessarily have to ask you. ”

"Cao is by no means reluctant, it is all from the bottom of his heart! I sincerely want to get this favor from my brother! ”

The potter nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, that's the best...... With the abundant grain and grass in my Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places as support, we will fight with Yuan Shao, and there will be no worries, don't look at the surname Yuan occupies the four states of Hebei, but if he wants to be richer with me, I will drag him to death two back and forth. ”

Listening to the words of the potter, Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable.

Isn't this the legendary show-off?

At such a young age, he can stink like this, and when he is older in the future, he will not be more crazy than Yuan Shao?

The most annoying thing is you rich people.

The potter looked at Cao Cao's unhappy face, and suddenly said, "It's okay for me to send food to Brother Meng De, but I need one condition." ”

Really!

I knew it!

Cao Cao secretly scolded the potter for being shameless in his heart, how can there be a person in the world who will give away things to others with blanks? Especially this little bastard!

"What are the conditions for Brother Tao? Let's put it mildly! ”

The potter smiled and said, "It's a condition, but it's actually just a requirement!" Although I am rich in Jinling, but after all, the granary is the lifeblood of my Jinling City, so to move grain and straw everywhere in the army, or to take grain and escort, all need to be done by our army's soldiers, the specific situation in the family and Jiangnan is really inconvenient to show to Brother Cao, Brother Cao just told me how much grain and hay I need every month, and I will send someone to send it. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Shangchang sighed and said, "After all, we are only temporarily cooperating to deal with Yuan Shao, I don't want to tell Brother Meng De about the grain and grass that is related to my lifeline, Brother Meng must be able to understand this little matter, right?" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and felt that the potter's words were reasonable.

And if he is responsible for the rhyming grain and grass, then he has nothing to do, and there is no need to allocate some manpower to do this.

It's a good thing.

"Since Brother Tao is not very comfortable with Cao, then this matter depends on you." Cao Cao smiled and agreed to the potter.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao said to Tao Shang: "But right now, even if the grain and grass are more persistent, if we fight a protracted war with Yuan Shao, our two families will let Yuan Shao attack Guandu back and forth in turn, but it is not a long-term solution, and it will be delayed for a long time, and the morale will be unsustainable." ”

The pottery merchant was not in a hurry when he heard this, he just looked at Cao Cao with a smile, and said: "Brother Meng De doesn't have to pretend to be foolish with me, he has always been a stubborn person, he has always been a surprise enemy, even if he can't win for a while, but with Brother Meng De's strategy, it is not difficult to make Yuan Shao Yizhi less arrogant." ”

When he said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

This kid knows himself so well...... Even above the beginning!

Cao Cao secretly sighed that he was really not mistaken, the potter was indeed his real rival! Yuan Shao can only be ranked second at most.

was also interested in testing the potter, Cao Cao immediately smiled and said: "According to the opinion of the virtuous brother, where is the place where Cao wants to be surprising this time?" ”

The potter said lightly: "It's very simple...... Guanzhong to merge with the state. ”
