There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Kong Ni secretly thought that the potter was talkative, and Cao Cao was stupid!Hua Xiong is the general of Dong Zhuo's army, he has more soldiers and horses than Xu Rong, and he is more famous than Xu Rong!The Jiangdong tiger with Sun Jian is exactly the same chess match, wouldn't it be good for them to fight to the death?And that Xu Rong is an unknown person whose reputation is not obvious, logically, wouldn't he be much easier to deal with than Hua Xiong?

Except for Sun Jian in the tent, the rest of these troops are not enough to put Hua Xiong between his teeth. How can we fight this battle?

"General Cao, we have four groups of people anyway. It would be unfair if we only let General Sun go to fight Xu Rong all the way?" Kong Ni asked tentatively.

Cao Cao frowned: "What does the governor of Kong mean by this?"

"Although Kong has few troops under his command, I am afraid that General Sun will make mistakes. Why don't I go with General Sun and help General Sun defeat Xu Rong together, so that General Sun will not be able to support him alone?"

Cao Cao couldn't help sneering when he heard this.

Among the princes in the south, Sun Jian has 5000 troops from Jiangdong, Cao Cao has 1 troops, Kong Ni has 1 horses, the potters have Xuzhou army plus the new army, a total of [-] horses, Liu Bei has Gongsun Zan to lend His [-] partial divisions were split in twos, and Sun Jian's army alone just happened to be fair.

But Kong Ni, an old boy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, shamelessly wanted to seek Sun Jian's asylum, and offered to go with Sun Jian!In this way, wouldn't it suddenly break the balance of the number of soldiers and horses in the two groups?

Although Cao Cao wanted to scold him a few words, he finally kept his self-restraint in front of many people and forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Since Inspector Kong volunteered to invite Ying, why would Mr. Cao refuse to follow suit? I don't know who else wants to go to Sun Wentai's route. Even if you ask, Mr. Cao will always follow."

As soon as he said this, Kong Ni's face turned red again.

As a prince along the way, being so run on by Cao Cao can be regarded as losing face to grandma's house.

Sun Jian squinted at Kong Ni with an extremely contemptuous expression.

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "General Sun is brave and brave enough to take on a great responsibility, so Bei will not trouble General Sun."

Cao Cao turned to the potter, but he also shook his head.

"Okay." Cao Cao stood up and said, "In this case, I will trouble General Sun and Kong Inspector to go back to the camp and gather troops to stop Xu Rong. Cao, Mr. Tao, and Liu County Magistrate are here. Stop Hua Xiong."

Sun Jian bowed his hand and left, ignoring Kong Ni for a moment.

Kong Ni knew that he was wronged, and he was embarrassed to stay in the tent. After saying a few words, he hurried away, leaving only Cao, Liu, Tao and others in the tent.

Cao Cao looked at the backs of Sun Jian and Kong Ni leaving, sighed, and said: "If the more than ten princes work together and put aside their selfishness, no matter how cunning and difficult the old thief Dong Zhuo is, how can he be invincible? It's a pity! "

Cao Cao's words were heavy, which was quite moving.

Although the pottery merchant was young, he was a member of the system in his previous life. He was quite knowledgeable about the world and the world. He could tell whether a person was sincere or not.

Now Cao Cao is indeed wholeheartedly for the country.

On the other side, Liu Bei said: "It is human nature for people in the world to seek profit, and this is understandable. However, although Bei is not talented, as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he is determined to serve the country and serve the country with It is my responsibility to eradicate traitors! If Mr. Cao does not give up, Beiyuan will be the vanguard, and we will swear to destroy the country's thieves!"

Liu Bei said so much, how could the potter pretend to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Although the potter is young, he also knows how to write the word "loyalty."

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded appreciatively: "I've heard the name of Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou for a long time, and seeing Mr. Tao today, I really deserve to be a true gentleman after everyone's famous family!"

As soon as the four words "gentleman's style" were uttered, for some reason, the potter's face was a little embarrassing and flustered.

This evaluation, I seem to be a bit unable to bear it now, should I deny it to Liu Bei?

"The boy has been studying Confucianism since he was a child, and he regards ritual, music, benevolence and righteousness as the principles of life, and abides by the way of a gentleman. Now I am very pleased to be praised by the gentleman Xuande."

Forget it, don't deny it, it's not that I am greedy for this false name, but I just don't admit that I want to save Liu Bei's face.

Suddenly I heard Cao Cao say: "Brother Tao, it wasn't Cao who said you. Just now, Cao arranged for Sun Jian to fight Hua Xiong. The reason I went to stop Xu Rongshi is because Sun Jian is quite strong, but he has the strength to fight Hua Xiong. It was Cao who was shirking responsibility, but why did you signal Cao to change his opponent?"

The Tao merchant secretly thought that you just saw the surface. If you knew Xu Rong's achievements in later generations, you wouldn't underestimate him so much.

Although Hua Xiong was the governor of Dong Zhuo, he still died at the hands of Sun Jian in later generations. However, Xu Rong, as recorded in the history books, had no defeat against all the princes. Afterwards, he defeated Sun Jian head-on, and captured Li Min alive afterward, all of which happened consecutively within a few months, and the record was extremely astonishing.

Regardless of the absence of others, but Xu Rong was able to defeat Sun Jian and Cao Cao, which is very remarkable!

Although the current Cao Cao is not Emperor Wu of Wei who later fought in the South and the North for many years, Sun Jian is the Jiangdong Tiger Xu Rong is a Liaodong native, not a direct confidant of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou, and has always served as a Zhonglang general. With a false position, he might not command too many soldiers and horses, but he can still achieve such a record. His talent is definitely not comparable to that of Hua Xiong

If you really want to compare him with Hua Xiong, Tao Shang thinks that Xu Rong is the real tough guy.

The potter has never been subjective when dealing with people and things. He has the thinking principles of later generations, and all facts are based on data.

According to the future market, Xu Rong's data is higher than Hua Xiong's.

But the potters couldn't tell Cao Cao and Liu Bei that.

He thought about it for a while, and tried to find all kinds of reasons, but he found that none of them could be used to deceive Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The potter may be able to deal with it, but the two in front of him are the famous only envoys and princes. Fuck you!

Who is the opponent of the heroes in the world?Cao Liu!Don't be fooled by these two.

After much deliberation, there was no good reason to prevaricate the two, so the potter had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Brother Meng De, although Hua Xiong is a strong general under Dong Zhuo's camp, he is a brave man after all. He is a strong general but not a good general. Fortunately, Xu Rong is a general who is good at using troops. He is by no means easy to defeat. We must not take it lightly."

Cao Cao and Liu Bei exchanged a look in surprise. Behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei showed disdain.

Liu Bei said curiously: "Young Master Tao, Xu Rong is just a Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo's tenure. How do you know that he is a general?"

"This..." The pottery merchant hesitated for a while, before he said in a low voice: "I said that I am born with extraordinary talents, and I can pinch and count. Is Xuande trustworthy?"

Liu Bei's smile was still so warm: "I believe it."

The potter's smile was a little stiff, this person must be a little too vain.

"Xuande is honest and honest."

Liu Bei replied sincerely: "Young Master Tao is really humorous."

"Okay!" Cao Cao couldn't stand listening to it, and said, "Stop praising each other! Cao has goosebumps all over the ground! The thing has already happened, and it is useless to talk about it! The most urgent thing is to find a way to break it." Hua Xiong?"

Breaking the word Hua Xiong let him use it

The potter's face turned red, and he coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Liu Bei turned his head, looked at Cao Cao and said, "According to General Cao's opinion, how should we defend against the enemy?"

Cao Cao pondered for a while and said: "The scouts came to report that Hua Xiong has [-] people under his command. If we want to defend against the enemy, we should at least find a city to defend against. According to Cao, we simply stationed our troops in Yangren County. , use the city wall as a barrier, wait and see the changes, and then make a decision."

Liu Bei nodded to show that he had no objection, and the pottery merchant said: "It is true that most of the army and horses are stationed in Yangren County, but we should also leave a little backup. The two of you can each choose an elite. It doesn’t take much, just secretly set up an ambush in the outskirts of Yangren City, waiting for the military order, one can become a so-called horned force with the army in the city, and the other can be regarded as a surprise soldier!”

Cao Cao nodded in admiration: "Brother Tao's words are very strategic, very appropriate, let's do it like this! Let me wait to see what Hua Xiong is capable of."

Chapter 37 The Battle of the Yangren and the Law of the Empty City

After stationing in Yangren City, Cao Cao and Liu Bei sent two smaller soldiers and horses to secretly station near Yangren City, while most of the soldiers and horses were stationed in Yangren City.

Cao Cao, who was also a general, naturally had the ability to lead the overall situation. He let the potters guard the west gate, Liu Bei guarded the east gate, and he personally guarded the north gate, waiting for the arrival of the Huaxiong army.

Because of the occupation of later generations, the potters read a lot of books and knew a lot.
