Both schemes were declared bankrupt, which was a great damper to the old poison's self-esteem.

Don't look at the old poison who is usually pure-hearted, but in a sense, he is still very proud.

Talented people are more or less self-motivated.

Don't look at the old man who doesn't squeak on weekdays, but if the old man squeaks, it must be true to his words and will succeed!

The old man is really capable.

But now Jia Xu has cracked two schemes in a row for the potter, something that has never happened in more than 50 years.

Jia Xu now has a language...... If the potter and Guo Jia were standing in front of him, the old man would have beaten them with a big ear, and then calmly asked them how they saw their plan.

Potter, Guo Jia...... What kind of characters are these two people?

Jia Xu couldn't help but be curious.

Cao Cao had also calmed down at this time, he took a deep breath, stood up and said to Jia Xu: "Cao Mou has just lost his temper for a while, and he has no words, please don't blame Mr." ”

A typical routine of beating a stick to give a sweet date.

Jia Xu remained silent, and returned the salute to Cao Cao, saying: "It is unfavorable to set up a plan and affects the overall situation, please don't blame it." ”

Cao Cao sighed, sat down and said: "Sir, don't hide it, Cao is really anxious now, this time the Jingzhou army and the princes of Guanzhong sent troops, such an opportunity and formation are rare for several years, once the strength of the attack on Tao is disintegrated, with Liu Biao's careful eyes, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to send troops again in the future, but once the Tao Shang eases up, the first person to deal with must be my Central Plains...... If Hebei and Xuzhou send troops from two directions, Cao will not be able to resist at all. ”

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Old man, there is another way right now. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Since the potter's grain and grass are sufficient, then we want to quickly defeat him now, but we are afraid that it will be extremely difficult, and the top priority is to start from his rear, and if we can pull a few more people into the water, we will pull a few more people."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was somewhat reminiscing.

He smashed his mouth and whispered, "What do you mean...... Let Lujiang's Sun Ce? ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "It's him." ”

"Will Sun Ce listen to us?" Cao Cao stood up and began to pace back and forth in the tent: "It stands to reason that Sun Ce, like Lu Bu, can be regarded as a vassal of the potter, will he be so easy to be opposed to the potter?" ”

Jia Xu said: "If it were someone else, it wouldn't!" But Sun Ce has one thing that is extremely variable, that is, this person is ambitious, although Lu Bu is a defect and virtuous, but he has now formed a marriage with the pottery merchant, plus the pottery merchant is pressing him, Lu Bu does not dare to oppose the pottery merchant, but the relationship between Sun Ce and the pottery merchant is much more delicate. ”

Cao Cao pondered carefully, and this was indeed the case.

"From Sun Ce's eyes, it is not difficult to see that the potter is using him to clamp down on Liu Biao."

Jia Xu said: "Sun Ce has indeed been doing this all these years, a big reason is because Liu Biao has a blood feud with him, and now the pottery merchants are all over the world, and their power is unprecedentedly strong, plus Lu Bu directly joined the pottery merchant army, Rao is Sun Ce, but I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "I heard that Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan is now being detained in Jinling City by the pottery merchants, right?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Exactly, on the surface, Sun Quan was taken hostage by the potter, which eased the relationship between the two families, but in fact, it has already shown that the two parties do not trust each other, and this distrust has surfaced. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "In this way, it is indeed possible to give it a try." ”

Jia Xu said: "Sikong can send Man Boning as an envoy and let him persuade Sun Ce to send troops to attack Jinling City, with Man Boning's ability, I think he will definitely be able to persuade Sun Ce and Zhou Yu." ”

"Okay, just send Boning to talk about Sun Ce."

……

Cao Cao and Jia Xu made another shady move, intending to plot against the rear of the potter.

But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that at the same time, a person also approached the potter and expressed his willingness to surrender.

And the identity of this man surprised the potter.

Not only the potter, but all the people under his command, including Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Chen Deng and others were shocked.

The main hall of Qufu City.

"Are you Li Ru?" The potter looked at the thin man with a goatee in front of him and said in surprise.

The man waved at the potter: "Exactly." ”

The pottery merchant stared at him tightly: "After Dong Zhuo's death, Chang'an City Lu Bu, Li Dao Guo Yan, and Ma Teng Han fought against each other, and finally the Xiliang army was defeated and divided, but Dong Zhuo's granddaughter Dong Bai and you are missing...... Although the potter guessed that you were still alive, he didn't expect that you would dare to appear in the world? ”

Li Ru smiled: "Why don't you dare? Even Lu Bu has returned to the prime minister, why can't Li? ”

The potter turned his head and instructed Pei Qian: "Please come over to Lu Bu." ”

Pei Qian took the order and left, and led Lu Bu to the main hall when he was young.

As soon as Lu Bu entered the hall, his eyes fell on Li Ru, and he staggered, almost losing his face to the ground.

"Li, Li Ru? You're not dead yet! ”

This is really a bad thing to say, and even the potter sounds awkward.

Li Ru didn't care, he turned around with a smile: "Wen Hou, it's been a long time." ”

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru in surprise: "It's really evil, after so many years, you are still alive?" ”

The potter asked Li Ru, "Where have you been hiding all these years?" ”

Li Ru did not hide it: "I have been in Hanzhong and served under Zhang Tianshi." ”

The potter raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Lu? He is really bold enough to dare to take you in. ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Although there are soldiers and generals under Zhang Tianshi's command, there are very few wise and resourceful people, and she has an enmity with Liu Zhang. With my help. Over the years, the defense of Hanzhong has also been handy, as for Miss Dong. has been accepted as a righteous daughter by Zhang Tianshi. ”

The potter nodded: "You are loyal to Dong Zhuo, and you have been guarding his granddaughter for him all these years, and you can be regarded as a loyal minister." ”

Li Ru said: "Xiangguo is kind to me, and it is natural for me to do so." ”

The potter raised his eyebrows: "You are under Zhang Lu, you are doing well, why did you suddenly come here to see me?" ”

Li Ru did not hide it: "Li has not been out of the mountain for these years, but has just stayed under Zhang Tianshi, not for food and clothing, but for the sake of food and clothing, but the general trend of the world is not yet clear, and he is unwilling to move lightly, after all, Li is not only himself now, but also shoulders the blood of Xiangguo, and he must not take another wrong step." ”

The potter suddenly said "oh": "Do you mean that the major events in the world are now clear?" ”

Li Ru nodded: "At least you can see eight or nine points, but whoever dominates the world will be the prime minister, so Li Ru made a special trip to vote." ”

The potter smiled, "You're a clever man, a pure opportunist. But I can't bring you under my command so easily...... Empress Wen joined me, but she helped me a lot, and you are Dong Zhuo's widow, there is no benefit, why should I take you in? ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Li is by no means an incompetent person, since I can come here, I must be able to offer a generous gift to the prime minister." ”
