Song Jiang bowed down to the potter and asked about the matter, the potter had long regarded Song Jiang as a confidant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This potter is also a lot of fools, since he wanted to get involved in Xuzhou Mu, he began to make friends with some people, although he only won over some small officials, and there was Song Jiang in this. This Song Jiang has made some names in Tancheng, in addition to a younger brother Song Qing, he also accepted the two sons of a local rich man, Kong Ming and Kong Liang as apprentices, and also married a concubine named Yan Xijiao.

The potter naturally told Zhang Yong about it, but in fact, Song Jiang originally gave advice to the potter, asking him to make friends with famous people in Xuzhou. However, neither Song Jiang nor the potters had this eloquence, and today they were overjoyed to hear that many people in Xuzhou persuaded by Zhang to support the potters.

Song Jiang's face was happy, he was even happier than marrying Yan Xijiao, of course, for him, brothers are like hands, and women are like clothes. I don't feel tired for a few days and months with my brother, and it's terrible to deal with a woman for a day

Song Jiang hurriedly said to Tao Shang: "Where is Mr. Zhang Yong?" When you come to the house, you should ask for advice in the morning and evening. When he is so resourceful, the lord should be hired as a military advisor. ”

Today's potter is a little complacent, with a spring breeze on his face: "Oh, Mr. Zhang said that he only has a place to live in the city, and he will come to the house to meet me tomorrow, but he is not in a hurry." ”

Seeing a small bird flying in the sky, followed by a dragon eagle, the pottery merchant suddenly said with some worries: "Gongming, this second brother is also quite Xuzhou herd, and that Xiaopei's Liu Bei is also eyeing Xuzhou, you see that this Xuzhou herd is not good." ”

Song Jiang naturally frowned, and he couldn't affect the political situation in Xuzhou, so he suggested: "Didn't Mr. Zhang Yong say that you can find foreign aid?" Then we will find Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu, this Yuan family is the home of the third prince of the fourth world, and we can attach ourselves to Yuan Shu. With the support of Yuan Highway, hehe, the lord will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of Xuzhou Mu. ”

That Yuan Shu fought with Cao Cao for Yanzhou in the north and failed. went to the southwest to compete for Jingzhou, but did not grab Liu Biao. But when it developed in the southeast direction, it was re-emerging. Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu and the like couldn't do Yuan Shu, so they could only do it out of defense. This Yuan Shu is still a great prince in the south.

It's nothing to belong to the strong side, after all, when the strength is weak, but how can you get the protection of others?

The pottery merchant worried: "Then Yuan Shu and my father were allies before, but now they also have bad intentions towards me in Xuzhou, so why should I let him support me as a pastor in Xuzhou?" ”

Song Jiang said with the attitude of a strong man with a broken wrist: "You can cede Peng Chengguo to Yuan Shu, and when you think of the offering, you will definitely be able to get his protection." ”

"Good!" The potter felt that it was enough for him to master the land of the three counties, and it was important to keep Xuzhou Mu first.

……

In a small mansion across the street from Tao Qian's mansion, there were three people around Wu Yong.

One is the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the other is Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, and the other is Sai Rengui Guo Sheng. This Lu Fang is really a bit like Lu Bu, but he doesn't have Lu Bu's domineering, and he is shorter in height.

As for Sai Rengui, well, in fact, Guo Sheng didn't figure out who this Rengui was. Anyway, ever since he took the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, a voice in his head told him that your nickname is Sai Rengui. Maybe this is the meaning of God, he thinks that being called Sai Rengui is also quite domineering.

Speaking of which, after Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were summoned by Luo Gan, their identities were also relatively unlucky, and they came to Xuzhou to do business. As a result, the business failed, and it was a bit of a street life. Later, when the two met outside Tancheng, they saw that the other party was using Fang Tian's halberd in their hands, and then they inexplicably felt that they were worried about something, so they looked at you. Then a fight broke out, and the two sides wielded Fang Tian's painting halberd outside the city for a while.

After fifty rounds of fighting, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng consumed a lot of energy, and the two weapons were still very embarrassed because of the ornaments on the halberds, and both of them couldn't help each other, but they were very good-looking, staring at each other and wasting time.

As a result, Wu Yongzheng took Liu Tang to pass by, and Liu Tang had itchy hands, and rushed forward with a broken knife, and cut off the useless but cumbersome ornaments on the halberd with one knife.

This made the two weapons separate, Guo Sheng and Lu Fang did not have to be worse than Liu Tang in terms of strength, but the two of them consumed a lot of strength when they compared each other before, so naturally there were many opponents of Liu Tang.

Wu Yong saw that the two of them were good at martial arts, so he thought about it and made words to solicit him. Where are the two young people Wu Yong's opponents, they were moved by Wu Yong's words in three or two sentences, and they were included in Wu Yong's account.

The three of them also knew Wu Yong's movements, and they didn't quite understand what Wu Yong wanted to do. So Liu Tang, who had a more fiery temper, opened his eyes and said suspiciously: "Pedant, why did you go about being the birdman of the potter, do you want to mess with the potter?" ”

Wu Yong was not angry, shook his head gently, and sighed softly: "Brother Liu Tang, this is wronging me." My loyalty to the lord can be seen in the world, and I am doing this so that the lord can take Xuzhou. An important reason for the failure of the last lord's conquest of Xuzhou was that Tao Qian and Liu Bei were united, with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Deng Yuanjue, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals protecting their wings. If we hadn't used a plan to set up an ambush in Xiangben to get Liu Bei and Deng Yuanjue to be rewarded, the outcome would have been unpredictable. ”

After expressing his loyalty and analyzing the reasons for Luo Gan's defeat last time, Wu Yong also told them his intentions: "This Sun Tzu's Art of War said that we should analyze the five aspects of the enemy, namely Dao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law. If the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou are united, then Tao Qian is enlightened, and even if the lord is powerful, it will be difficult to capture Xuzhou. Now that Tao Qian is about to die, I encourage the potter and Tao Ying to compete for the position of Xuzhou Mu. As long as Tao Qian dies, Xuzhou will be chaotic, and then the lord can easily seize Xuzhou. That would be a great achievement, and the Lord would reward us again. ”

Liu Tangcai suddenly realized that he wanted Wu Yong to apologize, and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng on the side also saluted Wu Yong, admiring Wu Yong's strategy, and at the same time saying that the two of them would obey Wu Yong's dispatch at any time.

Up to now, there are three people who want to inherit the position of Xuzhou Mu. One is Liu Bei, whose subordinates are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong. He has 6,000 soldiers and horses, which is considered a strong army.

One is Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, who has Song Jiang, Song Qing, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang under his command, and has Tao Qian's support. At the same time, it temporarily won the support of Zang Ba, Deng Yuanjue and Cao Bao. The three generals each mastered 5,000 soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as the controller of Tancheng.

The third is Tao Qian's son Tao Ying, who has Ximen Qing and Wang Ying under his command, and there are 3,000 people in the city, but most of them are ruffians, and there are 2,000 minions outside the city.

As for Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, they also have some prestige in the Xuzhou army, and some enemy Xuzhou officers want people from their families. There are a lot of servants and guests in the house. For example, there are tens of thousands of people in the Mi family, and there are thousands in the Chen family.

Wu used his subordinates Liu Tang, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng, and at the same time, secretly had 200 troops from Qingzhou to infiltrate the city. Moreover, under Wu Yong's special arrangement, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng bribed Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's martial arts to become Sima at the city gate, and they also led two or three hundred soldiers in their hands.

And the potter, at the suggestion of Song Jiang, sent people to contact Yuan Shu, the pastor of Yangzhou, and received Yuan Shu's support. Ximenqing suggested that Tao should return to Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, but Tao Ying was worried that Cao Cao would not support him because of Cao Song's death. Weighing the three, Tao Ying chose Luo Gan as a backer.
