There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant felt comforted by Xu Chu's voice, he smiled and said to Xu Chu, "It's good that you come, as long as Zhongkang is here, Tao will not be afraid of any traitors."

But at this moment, they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, and it was Ma Chao who led the horse's head and rushed to the potter again.

"Tao, what did you say about me just now? What do you mean by being a fool?"

Chapter 893 Try to figure out the hostility

Faced with Ma Chao's questioning, the potter couldn't help smiling.

He rode his horse and walked not far from Ma Chao, and said to him, "Meng Qi's thoughts are quick, and he immediately guessed that Tao was the one who yelled the words just now. certain."

Ma Chao glared angrily at the potter, his eyes gleaming with fire, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the potter: "Traitor, how dare you play tricks on me?"

The pottery merchant clapped his palms lightly, and then spread them to both sides: "Why am I playing tricks on you? This joke is so good."

Seeing that the pottery merchant was still smiling and dared to tell him jokes, Ma Chao couldn't help being furious, and he shouted: "Tao thief! Take your life!"

After finishing speaking, he saw him galloping straight towards the potter and killed him.

Behind the pottery merchant, Xu Chu couldn't bear it long ago, he flicked the saber in his hand, and also galloped straight towards Xu Chu to kill him.

No matter how fierce Ma Chao's charge was, when facing Xu Chu, he couldn't have rushed over all at once.

When he was young, he saw Xu Chu suddenly stop in front of Ma Chao.

Xu Chu raised the saber in his hand, aimed at Ma Chao's head, and smashed it down hard.

In the blink of an eye, the Saber Saber and the spear smashed together heavily, making a deafening bang.

Ma Chao stared at Xu Chu who appeared in front of him in surprise, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You bastards! Get out of the way!"

Xu Chu chuckled, and said, "What's so difficult about such a trivial matter? If you can kill me, then you and I will go over naturally, won't you?"

As soon as he said this, Ma Chao immediately became furious!

"Well, you brat, do you think I can't kill you?"

Speaking of this, I saw that Ma Chao's hand suddenly exerted force, and he fought fiercely with Xu Chu. The two fought like a tiger and a dragon meeting each other.

Not long after, the two rode back and forth on horseback, and fought for thirty rounds, with neither winner nor loser.

The faces of the two were flushed, and they were sweating profusely. They ran back and forth between the venues, and they were out of breath after a while.

Ma Chao looked Xu Chu back and forth, bared his teeth and said, "Who are you?"

Xu Chu snorted heavily and said, "I am Xu Chu from Qiao County!"

Ma Chao was taken aback when he heard the words, looked him up and down and said, "Are you the one who raises pigs under the potter's command?"

Xu Chu's face turned red all of a sudden: "You man, how dare you insult me?"

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with what I said?"

""

After being silent for a while, Xu Chu let out a loud roar and rushed towards Ma Chao again. The two of them ran back and forth in circles between the fields.

After this battle, the two are still tied.

But at this moment, the confrontation between the soldiers of the two sides was coming to an end, and soon, several other generals of the Jinling Army arrived here leading their troops.

Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help frowning. He swung the knife away from Xu Chu's hand, pulled the rein, and rushed backward.

Xu Chu followed closely behind him and shouted: "Boy Ma, it's not a matter of victory or defeat, why did you run away?"

Ma Chao didn't look back, and said, "Tiger Chi, you have a lot of reinforcements today, I will spare your life, see you later, it won't be too late for you and me to decide the outcome!"

After that, he hurriedly led the cavalry and fled away.

Xu Chu did not intend to let him go, he led his troops to chase after Ma Chao, but a potter ordered Pei Qian to ride a horse to stop Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was blocked by the pottery merchant, so he naturally stopped chasing him. He took a deep breath, and then turned his horse back to the pottery merchant.

"Why did the prime minister call me back? If it was later, I thought I could take the horse's head!"

The pottery merchant raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, if killing Ma Chao now is not in line with the current situation, let him live for now."

Xu Chu didn't understand what the potter's idea was, but since the prime minister said so, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he acted according to the potter's idea.

As time went on, the Guanzhong princes and Cao Jun began to be gradually repelled by the generals of the Jinling Army. In fact, this is also a common sense thing. After all, the Jinling Army is very powerful. In terms of strength, it is indeed far above the generals of Luoyang. .

Not long after, the generals of the Guanzhong Army led their subordinates to retreat one after another.

The potter was not pursued by anyone, he just arranged for the generals of the various ministries to clean the battlefield carefully, so as not to miss anything.

After confirming that all the Guanzhong troops had withdrawn, the pottery merchant returned to his tent, and Guo Jia, Chen Deng and others also came to him immediately.

After meeting, Guo Jia explained his doubts to the potter.

"Prime Minister, there seems to be something wrong. The sneak attack of the Guanzhong Army, in Guo's opinion, doesn't look like they are going to win by surprise. Judging by the arrangement of their soldiers and horses, it seems that they are in a state of shopping."

Chen Deng also agreed: "This is indeed the case from the next point of view. Guan Zhongjun's intention does not seem to be a surprise victory. Could it be that there is something else hidden in it?"

The potter thought for a while and said, "I can't figure it out, what do you think, tell me?"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, could it be that Cao Cao wants to use the Guanzhong Army to kill more of our soldiers, but he himself has no intention of using the Guanzhong Army for a long time?"

Guo Jia's words seemed to ignite a bright light in the potter's mind.

He clapped his hands fiercely and said, "Brother Feng Xiao is right. Judging from the situation, Cao Cao doesn't seem to regard Guan Zhongjun as an ally."

Guo Jia's complexion seemed a little unsightly.

He said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is planning to use the Guanzhong Army to fight us, and in the end he will gain the advantage of the fisherman. He uses the Guanzhong Army to fight against my strength and prevent me from entering Xichuan, so that he can fight with Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and others. In a corner of Xichuan, it's a good game!"

Chen Deng thought for a while, and said: "If you say it like this, Cao Cao's temperament is really vicious. Could this be a strategy he came up with?"

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "Cao Cao is in Hanzhong now. I don't think he thought about this matter on his own. Luoyang City is here. It must be that there are experts present!"

Guo Jia thought about it carefully for a while: "Prime Minister, Guo feels that it is necessary to send someone to check with the princes in Guanzhong."

The pottery merchant laughed and said, "I also mean the same thing, but there are a lot of princes in Guanzhong. We can't be too big. Who should we communicate with? I also ask the two gentlemen to come up with a charter for me."

Chapter 894 Attacking Luoyang

The princes of Guanzhong, who do you turn to?

Everyone was somewhat in a dilemma for a while. After all, everyone didn't know much about the princes in Guanzhong. Who should we choose at this moment?
