There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Pi raised his head and looked at those people with a smile, feeling an indescribable embarrassment in his heart.

With a ferocious expression on Cao Zhang's face, he yelled at Cao Pi: "You shameless rebel, do you still have the face to appear in front of me?"

Cao Pi lowered his head and said nothing.

In the current situation, he was indeed a little shameless facing Cao Zhang.

When I was young, I saw Cao Pi cupping his hands at the potter and said, "Prime Minister, can you... not let me do this."

Cao Zhang laughed loudly: "Cao Pi, you also know the word shame."

The potter said in a low voice, "If I insist on doing this."

Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhang in embarrassment, finally heaved a long sigh helplessly, and said, "In this case, the subordinates will just accept the order."

Chapter 9 Twelve Brocade Ma Chao

Cao Pi reluctantly took over the management of Cao Zhang. For him, Cao Zhang was really a hot potato.

From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the pottery merchant could kill Cao Zhang directly on the battlefield just now, so that everyone would be relieved.

But obviously, the potter didn't do what he thought.

Instead, he adopted the most extreme method, the most unacceptable method for Cao Pi.

It's fine if you detain Cao Zhang, and you have to hand it over to yourself for management...

This matter is really a headache for Cao Pi. This person is in good hands. If he turns back and makes the pottery merchant suspect his intentions, will he suspect that he still has his heart for Cao Ying and is not loyal to his surname Tao?

Cao Zhang is not in charge of the problem, is it easy to make the pottery merchant feel that he is an untrustworthy person, or make the pottery merchant feel that he is a person who is not very obedient?

This incident is really a dilemma.

Cao Pi took Cao Zhang away, and Guo Jiarao stared at the backs of the two brothers with interest, and kept staring closely for a long time.

Finally, he saw Guo Jia's handsome face showing a meaningful smile.

He turned his head to look at the potter, and said: "The prime minister's move is really clever. Putting Cao Zhang at Cao Pi's place can test Cao Pi's heart on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will inevitably cause some troubles over time. What about the next step?" Conquering Cao's army in Hanzhong may have miraculous effects... It's really wicked."

The pottery merchant coughed lightly, and said: "Mr. Guo was able to say that I am immoral in such a life-saving and solemn words in front of Wanjun... I really lived up to the name of a ghost. I really want to know, if it wasn't for Tao You have a good temper, just with your bad mouth, how many chapters can you survive under the command of other princes?"

Guo Jia stroked his beard lightly with one hand, and said: "Chang'an has been pacified, and the next step is to surrender the entire Guanzhong. With the guidance of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and our elite soldiers, I don't think so." Is there any obstacle that is too great?"

The pottery merchant nodded and said: "That's what I said, but in the end it is better to pay more attention. Ma Teng and Han Sui are people who have lived in the Xiliang frontier fortress for a long time. They are moral and righteous."

"The prime minister has a great opinion. It's really admirable to think of this level." Guo Jia gave a flattery in a timely manner, which made people feel very comfortable.

……

After pacifying Chang'an, the potters immediately summoned Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In the main palace of Chang'an, the pottery merchants conferred the official positions of Ma and Han, and conferred the name of general and the title of Marquis.

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked each other.

The pottery merchant looked at the two of them back and forth, and suddenly said: "In the current situation, although Chang'an has been captured, but going west, there are still many princes who have not surrendered." Therefore, two generals are needed to lead my troops to various places. It is best to surrender everywhere, if you can surrender, if you cannot surrender, you can surrender by force, do you two have any opinions? "

Han Sui hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to clear Guanzhong for the Prime Minister."

The pottery merchant nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Tao is the one who has always made the most achievements. The two of you will go two ways, respectively leading Tai Shici and Zhao Yun as guides. Which way will get more cities? After a certain day, he will be named the Lord of Liangzhou."

Han Sui was overjoyed when he heard this.

Ma Teng was just about to bow his hands in thanks, but the potter suddenly raised his hand and stopped him from talking.

"Mr. Shou Cheng, please don't be too busy to thank me. There is one more thing Tao wants to communicate with you."

"What is the prime minister's order?"

"Tao wants to ask Lord Shoucheng to serve in the army alone, but is it possible for Lord Shoucheng to give up his love?"

Ma Teng asked tentatively, "I don't know who the Prime Minister wants?"

The pottery merchant paused and said, "I don't know if Shou Chenggong might let Ma Chao come to our army."

"He?" Ma Teng hesitated when he heard the words: "Well, this boy Meng Qi has a violent temper, is conceited, and has always been arrogant. I am afraid that if he comes to get along with the prime minister, he will offend the prime minister..."

The pottery merchant laughed loudly, and said: "Mr. Shoucheng is too modest. Ma Chao is brave enough to win the three armies. Everyone in the northwest has heard of it. Even if he has a little temper, it is normal. Tao has a big heart and doesn't care."

Ma Teng secretly said in his heart: You don't care, I care, you're going to leave my son who can beat me the most, the old man has something to do in the future, but who will he rely on?

"Prime Minister, it's not that the old man deliberately insulted his son. This boy's temper is really bad. Even the old man can't control him on weekdays. If he loses his temper, no one can stop him! That's what his cousin Ma Dai said , he can still listen to it..."

The pottery merchant gave a sudden 'oh' and said, "Then how about letting his cousin come with him to help me?"

"Ah?" Ma Teng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The pottery merchant smiled and said to Ma Teng, "Let Ma Dai come to our army with Ma Chao. If Ma Chao gets angry with me, Ma Dai can also stop him. Wouldn't that be good?"

Ma Teng raised his hand and scratched his head, a little in disbelief.

Why is this still a ride in?

"This, this..." Ma Teng stuttered a little.

Tao Shang said with a smile: "General Ma, you don't have to be so nervous, it's just one more person, and Tao can provide food... It's really not possible, bring your sons, and Tao can take care of them together."

"This! No need! No need!" Ma Teng hastily declined, but he could no longer send someone in, otherwise he would have to cut off his children and grandchildren.

The pottery merchant nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to Ma Chao and Ma Dai first."

Ma Chao and Ma Dai first?

"If you feel that Ma Dai alone can't persuade Ma Chao, hand over your other sons."

Beads of sweat dripped down Ma Teng's head.

Not long after, Ma Chao, led by his guards, came to the potter.

"The last general, Ma Chao, has met the prime minister!"

The voice is powerful and impressive.

The pottery merchant nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Ma Mengqi, I heard that you are very brave at a young age, and you are the number one warrior in Xiliang. From now on, you will come to the court to do things for the emperor. Effectiveness, would you like to?"

Ma Chao turned his head to look at Ma Teng, but saw that Ma Teng was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was willing or not.

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands to the potter and said, "The general is willing!"
