Hundreds of miles away from the northwest of Linzi City, the soldiers and horses of Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang were intercepted and killed by the ambush soldiers arranged by the pottery merchants.

On the mountain not far away, the potter watched his side gradually seize the initiative, and at the same time fiddled with his right hand with interest.

The potter feels as if he has been suffering from some stinky problems lately, and for some reason, his left and right hands always have to play with something from time to time, and no matter what he is fiddling with, he can't let his hands sit idle.

The potter himself diagnosed himself with a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by excessive mental stress...... It's like a small problem that can't sleep without counting money, although it is a disease, it doesn't need to be treated.

Seeing his teacher's two hands kneading back and forth, he was a little upset, Zhuge Liang behind the pottery merchant took the initiative to step forward and handed him the white feather fan, and said, "Teacher, otherwise you are agitating this?" ”

The potter looked back in surprise and said, "Isn't this what I gave you?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled shyly: "Didn't the teacher tell me back then?" This thing has been recognized for more than 2,000 years. ”

Potter: "......"

After taking Zhuge Liang's white feather fan and fanning it a few times, the pottery merchant suddenly said: "Kong Ming, you said that after this battle, we occupied Beihai County, Donglai County and Linzi City, and a small half of Qingzhou is in the hands of our army, how will Yuan Shao react?" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't have a white feather fan in his hands, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and his two hands had nowhere to put them, so he finally put them on both sides of his body.

He pondered for a while, and then replied to Tao Shangdao: "Take Erlu, and then go back to rescue Mr. Guo, after everything is settled, according to the time calculation, it is already winter, most of our army are southern soldiers, which is not conducive to severe cold combat, so we can only temporarily stick to the city in the winter, wait for the spring of the next year, and then decide with Yuan Shao." ”

The potter nodded and said, "Our army can only take a stubborn attitude in this winter, but what I asked you is Yuan Shao's reaction...... You haven't said that yet. ”

"Uh......" Zhuge Liang frowned and pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "According to common sense, Yuan Shao should quickly divide his troops, storm the city where we are, and seize the initiative on the eastern front, so as not to meet the ......enemy on three roads in the future."

The potter handed back the white feather fan in his hand to Zhuge Liang, and then said with a smile: "According to normal reasoning, it is true that we should seize the time to attack, yes, if it is Cao Cao, we will definitely expel us from Qingzhou regardless ......of the severe cold, and it will take a lot of strength and losses, but Yuan Shao is different."

Zhuge Liangqi said: "What is the difference between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao? ”

The potter patiently explained to Zhuge Liang: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are almost the same in nature, they are both heroes in the world, but they are a little worse in terms of temperament, especially with Yuan Shao's age over the years, coupled with the defeat in the battle of Guandu, he is quite cautious in doing things, and now that the situation has changed suddenly, the first thing he thinks about is not to turn back the situation, but how to stabilize the situation, or delay time." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't know much about the meaning of Tao Shang's words, he shook the white feather fan in his hand again, thought carefully, and muttered secretly: "Is it possible, Yuan Shao will still send someone to negotiate peace with us?" ”

Just as the two of them were talking, they saw Huang Zhong, who was bloody, laughing loudly, while stepping up the hillside, throwing the two heads in front of the potter and Zhuge Liang, and said, "Prime Minister, the big thing is decided!" ”

The potter looked down and said, "These two, aren't they the heads of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang?" ”

Huang Zhong nodded vigorously and said, "Exactly!" Thanks to Prime Minister's clever plan, Yuan's army has been defeated on all fronts, and the old man personally killed Erlu and sent the heads of the two to be presented to the prime minister. ”

The potter said with emotion: "General Huang has worked hard, with the head of Erlu, the crisis in Linzi City can naturally be solved." ”

……

Liyang, the military camp of Yuan Shao's army.

On the Qingzhou battlefield in the east, the potters designed to seize the territory of the two counties in Qingzhou, and on the Jizhou side, Yuan Shao has really not been idle recently.

Cao Cao and Tao Sheng of the Montenegrin Army launched two attacks on him at the same time, Zhong Xuan of Luoyang united with the generals of Guanzhong and cooperated with the Montenegrin Army to fight Yuan Tan and Gao Gan in Bingzhou, while Yuan Shao commanded the generals of Jizhou to fight Cao Cao in Liyang.

Yuan Shao learned the lesson of the last battle of Guandu, and instead of emptying his eyes, he fought against Cao Cao with a more cautious heart.

Yuan Shao himself has improved, then the combat power of the Yuan army in Hebei has risen in a straight line, even in the face of the generals of Guanzhong, Cao Cao, and the Montenegrin army, the Yuan army still has contacts with them, and faintly has the upper hand.

Seeing that winter is about to begin, according to Tian Feng and Fu Zhi's calculations, the fierce battle between the two sides will last for a month at most, and then it can turn into a dormant period.

Yuan Shao's nervous strings had been tightened, until this time, when he finally settled down a little.

It's a pity that before Yuan Shao could feel comfortable, the scout who was in charge of finding out the news from the east brought the news to Yuan Shao's big tent.

At that time, Yuan Shaozheng was discussing the strategy of dealing with the Montenegrin Army with a group of advisers under his command, and when he heard the news, he was immediately stupid.

Beihai County, Donglai County, Linzi City lost?

Carefully arranged in Beihai County, the previous fortified camps were lost?

Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang were killed, and the heads were taken by the potters to solve the danger in Beihai, and the soldiers and horses were beaten by the Jinling army in panic and scattered?

Hearing these news, Yuan Shao suddenly felt dizzy.

There are a lot of counties in Hebei, and the loss of two counties on the territory does not have a big impact on Yuan Shao, but the horror is that after this, the potters will take root in Hebei and threaten themselves all the time!

Yuan Shao's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with a "poof".

Tian Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao: "Don't be surprised, the general should not be surprised, although the pottery merchants have entered Qingzhou, but their southern soldiers are not tolerant of the cold. ”

Yuan Shao looked straight ahead, and only after a while did he shake his head: "This matter is not successful, not to mention the disadvantages of the winter battle siege, the surname Tao brought my niece and 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, and his heart to conquer the city has been strong, plus Cao Cao and the Montenegrin army have not retreated, once my attention is shifted to the east, giving Cao Apu a chance to take advantage of, then Jizhou will not be guaranteed, and such a risky method cannot be done." ”

"Hey!" Tian Feng stomped his feet and said: "General, but if you don't take advantage of the situation to expel the potters at this time, and he will gain a foothold in Hebei in the future, it will be a big deal. ”

Yuan Shao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed his restless heart.

After a while, Yuan Shao regained his composure, and the corners of his mouth regained a confident smile.

"It's okay, to deal with the pottery merchants, Yuan is not without a way to deal with the Tao family thieves."

"What is the general's plan to solve this misfortune?"

Yuan Shao tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "I decide, and I will negotiate peace with him first." ”
