There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

These major types are: those who are arrogant on the surface and refuse to suffer losses, those who are weak on the surface and refuse to suffer losses, those who suffer losses will find ways to get you back, and those who suffer losses will grow their memory and will no longer suffer losses.

In short, within the potter's impression and understanding, no matter how a person's personality changes, as a biological instinct, they will generally not be willing to suffer!

Even if you suffer a temporary loss for a special reason, you will not miss the opportunity to get it back. This is a biological law of the self. It is cruel and realistic to say it, but it is logical.

The same is true for Cao Cao in front of him. The pottery merchant beat him inhumanely at the sour jujube market. Would the majestic Emperor Wu of Wei swallow this breath willingly?The potter didn't believe it.

Using a short crossbow to force himself to come to his land, Cao Cao will not just treat him to a meal for no reason.

What should come will always come, and it is better to talk about it.

"General Cao." The pottery merchant put down his wine cup and said solemnly: "In the market a few days ago, Tao really offended the general. The boy is stupid and offended the general Huwei. I would like to apologize to the general. The general invites you today. I'm here, if you ask for a crime, the boy is willing to take responsibility for his wrongdoing, but if General Cao uses this matter to blackmail the boy, for the sake of his father's reputation, please forgive Tao for not yielding to the general."

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed: "Young Master Tao speaks quickly, Cao admires him, but to be honest, you really wronged Cao."

The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "General Cao took the short crossbow and brought the boy here from the commander Yuan's tent, but now he still tells me that General Cao has been wronged. Although Tao is young, he is not stupid. , don't bully me for reading less."

Cao Cao was happy, put the wine cup on the table, and said: "To be honest, Cao was really annoyed at the jujube market that day. He wished he could kill Mr. Tao immediately to vent his hatred! It's just me, Cao Cao. He is not a man of martial arts, so how can he do things based on his likes and dislikes? After returning to the camp, Cao immediately sent someone to inquire about the identity of the young master, and found out that the young master is the eldest son of Xuzhou Tao governor, so he finally understood."

Tao Shang didn't say a word when he heard the words. After all, Cao Cao is also the leader of an army, and it's not unusual for him to be able to find out his identity.

Seeing that the potter didn't speak, Cao Cao continued on his own: "At first Cao thought that Mr. Tao was a dandy with a disorganized and unruly way of doing things. He is domineering and domineering because of his temperament."

"Wait a minute!" The pottery merchant interrupted Cao Cao, frowning and said, "General Cao, let's sort things out. That day was rampant, and I need someone first. It seems to be you."

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words: "Really? Cao can't remember clearly, haha, it doesn't matter, this is not the point."

When the traitor in troubled times gets to where he is wronged, nothing is the point.

Cao Cao's complexion was erratic, he inadvertently showed the prototype of a traitor, and continued cheekily: "Later, Cao sent someone to investigate the route of Mr. Tao's march during this period, and found some interesting things."

The pottery merchant shrugged his eyebrows unnoticed: "What did General Cao find?"

Cao Cao stroked his long and sparse beard, and said with a chuckle: "Cao found out that the process of Mr. Tao's coming to the alliance this time is quite interesting. Tao Qian, the majestic governor of Xuzhou, did not go there in person, but sent a The white weak-crowned young son, although supervising the army in name, is actually the governor of the army! After the weak-crowned young man arrived in Qiao County, he quietly wiped out the Fuyun Yellow Turban Bandits, and recruited the Fuyun Army, including the local clan forces. The soldiers and horses directly doubled, and the number of soldiers and horses suddenly increased. Not only did your army not lack food and grass, but it also received food and fodder support in Yingchuan. Yes, although this person is a famous scholar, he is just a rotten Confucian and a guest at the forum!! He has been blessed by God recently. Not only has he made friends with Yuan Shu, he is tied with Sun Jian, and he was also included in Yuan Shu's faction. It can be said to be smooth sailing. Mr. Tao , why teach me about this?"

The potter was not surprised that Cao Cao had such a sophisticated and shrewd vision.

Among the princes, it is estimated that no one would appear to be okay and send spies to investigate their marching route, only the one in front of him.

And Cao Cao, based on the clues that happened along the way, it is normal to see through his disguise of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger

If it were someone else, he might be overwhelmed with shock and admire him, but the potter was not surprised, because he knew how powerful this person who was not outstanding among the princes of the Guandong in front of him would be in the future. Since he has his eye on him, What happens is expected, there is no need to make a fuss.

However, what reassures the potter is that he now understands that Cao Cao hijacked him to come here, not to settle accounts with himself.

If the expectations are correct, this General Cao may want to take this opportunity to harmonize his personal relationship with him.

Thinking of this, the potter couldn't help laughing, but his words were still very modest: "General Cao, what did you say just now, and what can you prove?"

Cao Cao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

"Hahaha, that's right, nothing can be proved!" Cao Cao showed a little relief, and looked at the potter with admiration: "Just now, Cao and Brother Tao were just joking outside of Benchu's account, Brother Tao, don't worry about it. "

Why did Kung Fu change its name to Brother Tao?

The pottery merchant was noncommittal, and suddenly said, "General Cao, I was rude to you that day, don't you hate me?"

Cao Cao laughed heartily, waved his hands heartily, and said, "Who doesn't have a youthful day? When Cao looks at people, he never looks at the pomp and splendor of Jinxiu, but only at his talent! Brother Tao, young hero, what can I do if you beat me up? If not, I, Cao Cao, will be beaten to death, right?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao rubbed his blackened eye sockets with his hands, gasped in a "hissy" breath, and said: "However, the strong man under your hand is really extraordinary when you think about it. Cao is still sweating coldly just thinking about it .”

The pottery merchant really couldn't see through this person at the moment. Cao Cao was very sincere, but could he be telling the truth?

Cao Mengde, well-known in later generations as a capable official in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times, the chance encounter between the pottery merchant and him after time travel was based on beating him up.

Perhaps it was a kind of evil fate. The pottery merchant was investigated by Cao Cao invisibly, but he was rewarded by him instead.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the potter expressed his admiration for this broad-mindedness.

Compared to those feudal lords who were still dancing in Yuan Shao's tent, the black, thin, and unattractive man in front of him was truly respected by the pottery at this moment.

And Cao Cao saw that he had broken so many pottery merchants, and this kid could still sit upright without any panic, so he felt a little bit high in his heart.

"Brother Tao, Mr. Cao has nothing else to ask for in his life. One is determined to help the Han family, and the other is to make friends with people of insight in the world. Today I see a young hero. Cao is overjoyed. Although you and I were a little unhappy before. , but it’s all trivial matters, besides, you and I will have to go hand in hand in the future to hunt down Dong thief! If you don’t give up, Cao is willing to call you a brother, what do you think?”

The potter's face showed hesitation, hesitatingly said: "Can I not agree?"

Cao Cao chuckled and said nothing, but picked up the short crossbow on the table again.

"Brother Meng De treats you so kindly, and you don't forget the past, what can you do, younger brother? There is no reason why you shouldn't."

Cao Cao couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Brother Meng De's voice. He didn't know whether it was real or fake. In short, he was very happy.

"Meeting a young hero today! It's a blessing in life! It should be clear!"

The conversation has already been said, and the relationship between the two has reached this point. There is no need for the pottery to hide from Cao Cao, and it will be dishonest and easily offend people.

"Brother Meng De, I'm actually very curious about one thing, that is, in front of the lord, Brother Cao took the initiative to transfer from the Suanzao Middle Route Army to the Southern Army where we are. Why?"

Cao Cao snorted and said, "Cao said bluntly in front of all the princes today that Dong Zhuo would avoid the truth and send his elite to break the south route of our coalition first. Brother Tao thinks Cao is talking nonsense?"

The pottery merchant smiled and asked back: "Isn't Brother Meng De?"

Cao Cao straightened his face, and said, "Brother, Cao is making a bet with you! Old thief Dong will definitely send elite soldiers to attack the South Road! To be honest, the coalition of more than ten princes seems to be powerful, but it is actually scattered, and Many people despise the old thief, it should not be true that among the Kanto princes, more than half have never met Dong Zhuo, so how do they know how powerful this old thief is?"

"Oh?" The pottery merchant was quite surprised when he heard the words. Judging from the comments of the princes, the main impression Dong Zhuo gave them should be extravagant, greedy, brutal, and bloodthirsty. After Zhang Jiao, the second person to open this troubled world.

Cao Cao looked at the potter's puzzled expression, and said immediately, "Brother Tao, you haven't seen Dong Zhuo before. It's widely rumored that this old thief is cruel and vicious, but in fact, he has ignored how powerful this old thief is." When I was in the capital, I used to work under his subordinates, and I know that Dong Thief's ability is superior to all the princes."

The potter's curiosity arose: "Brother Meng De, can you be more careful about what kind of person Dong Zhuo is?"

Cao Cao sighed, and said: "People in the world only saw Dong Zhuo's atrocities after he came to Beijing, but they don't know that this old thief is actually a character with a true temperament, and he is quite open-minded, quite heroic!"

Hearing this, the potter was a little dazed, wondering how Cao Cao's evaluation of Dong Zhuo was so high?

Cao Cao took a sip of his wine and continued: "Dong Zhuo was a man who was with the Qiang people in the Northwest when he was young. He won the hearts of the Qiang people. He treated the Qiang people without stinginess. He often slaughtered cattle to entertain the heads of the Qiang tribes! Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou are also inferior. Moreover, in today's world, when it comes to the combat power of our Han army, there are three powerful armies. One is Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who has been fighting with the tribes in the Liaodong frontier fortress all the year round, and the other is the constant defense and surveillance. The Bingzhou army of the Xianbei and the Xiongnu, the third is the Liangzhou army that has long governed the rebellion of the Qiang people. Dong Zhuo's army originally belonged to Liangzhou, and Lu Bu led all the people in Bingzhou to vote for it. The central imperial army has been commanded by Dong Zhuo, how can Dong Zhuo control so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, if Dong Zhuo has nothing special?"

The pottery merchant seemed to have realized something and nodded: "So, according to brother Mengde, Dong Zhuo is not only not stupid, but a hero in troubled times."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, nodded and said, "Of course, how can an idiot get where he is today? If it were that easy, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to become a traitor?"

The potter looked at Cao Cao very meaningfully, but you are the most convincing.

"Then I don't understand." The potter changed his mind and said, "Since Dong Zhuo is not a fool but a hero, why did he make the heavens angry and the gods angry? Everyone wants to get rid of him and hurry up?"

"The old thief has lived to such a great age, how can he not understand the simple truth that those who win the hearts of the people win the world? But there is no way, he can't go this way."

The potter was stunned when he heard the words: "I can't get through?"
