In the evening, the potters collected their troops and returned to the city.
Kaiyang City has been broken, Zang Ba lost his troops and lost his generals, and only hundreds of remnants fled to the north, and they have become lost dogs, so they are not to be feared.
After a bloody battle, the soldiers were exhausted, and the potters wanted to give them a short rest, reward them, and then send troops north to capture the northern counties of Langxi.
That night, in the lobby of the Guozhi Mansion, the good wine hidden by Zang Ba became a tool for the potters to comfort the generals, and the soldiers drank happily to celebrate this decisive victory.
In a cheerful atmosphere, only Lian Po didn't touch a drop of wine, and sat there dryly, without much joy of victory on his old face.
Seeing him like this, the potter raised his glass and said: "My old general, today's victory, you have made great contributions, I toast you." ” The potter raised his glass and drank it all, but Na Lianpo didn't even touch the wine glass, coughed and said: "The old man has always been a drop of wine, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ” "It's rare to be happy today, just have a drink to cheer up, it's okay."
The potter laughed.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Lian Po still had a cold attitude, "The lord has an old heart, but it is the principle of not getting drunk, even if the sky falls, the old man will not break." ” Lian Po once again rejected the kindness of the potter in front of everyone, and the soldiers on the left and right frowned, looking at the stubborn old man with resentful eyes, and his eyes were clearly secretly accusing him of not knowing how to lift, and even daring not to appreciate the lord's heart.
Hua Mulan was also annoyed, and her apricot eyes glared: "Lian Po, you have made a meritorious service, and the shelf has become bigger, it's just a glass of wine, you don't even give this little face to the lord, what do you mean." ” The potter didn't speak, but looked at Lian Po to see what his reaction was, after all, he was swept away, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"Ahem" Lian Po coughed for a while, gasped for a while, and still replied stubbornly: "The old man said a long time ago, I have received the lord's heart, but it is the principle of the old man not to stick to the wine, and the principle will never be broken." ” "You" Mulan was angry and annoyed, facing this stubborn old man, she didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, in the potter's mind, the voice of the system elf suddenly sounded: "The system prompts that the mood of the soul of the subject Lian Po has just been scanned, and there is a risk of declining loyalty." ” The potter's heart was shocked, and a trace of displeasure on his face immediately retracted, and he laughed and said: "It's better to be principled than those capricious villains who have no bottom line, just a glass of wine, it's good if you have your mind, just don't drink it." ” "Thank you for your understanding."
Lian Po thanked him.
"The tick system prompts that the subject's emotional fluctuations disappear and loyalty returns to stability."
The prompt sound sounded in his mind again, and the potter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lian Po's commander is worth 80, his force is worth 91, and his resourcefulness and politics are also 70 upwards, and he is definitely the pillar of the Wuzi Liang general's level, the only deficiency is that the heroic soul is too awesome, the personality is too strong to serve, and the loyalty will decline if you drink a glass of wine.
"With Lian Po's force value, if his loyalty accidentally drops to zero just now, and if he suddenly rebels, he can kill everyone here in minutes, it seems that he has to quickly think of a way to improve the loyalty of this old man" The potter pondered with trepidation.
Just when he had a headache about this, Lian Po suddenly asked: "Lord, the old man wants to ask, who are you going to send to command the troops in pursuit of Zang Ba?"
The potter was stunned, and naturally he wanted to answer without thinking about it, and sent Xu Sheng, Hua Mulan, and you Lian Po, and even myself to lead the troops to the north to pursue.
When the words came to his lips, the potter's eyes rolled, but he swallowed them back.
"This old man is very conceited, in history, because Lin Xiangru overshadowed him, he lost his temper and refused to be like Lin Xiang, if Xu Sheng and they shared the military power with him, this old man would definitely be unhappy, and it would be strange if his loyalty did not decline."
His thoughts flew around, and the potter had an idea, so he smiled and said: "With the old general Lian, your ability is enough to take on the heavy responsibility, I naturally ordered you to lead the army to the north to pursue, and Xu Sheng and the others will listen to your orders." ” As soon as these words came out, Hua Mulan and other generals in the hall were all surprised, they didn't expect that the potters had such a lot of strength and trusted this Lian Po so much.
Lian Po's face, which was as old as the bark of a tree, suddenly swelled with joy, got up tremblingly, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the trust of the lord, the old man will live up to the trust of the lord." ” "The Di system scanned the object's loyalty has increased by 10, and the current loyalty is 20."
"The tick system scans the object Lian Po to generate benevolence points 10, and the host has benevolence points 10."
The increase in loyalty was expected by the potters, but at the same time, it also produced a point of benevolence, which really surprised the potters.
You must know that loyalty and benevolence are generally not generated at the same time, and this is the first time that Lian Po has this situation, which shows that Lian Po, a stubborn old man, has no hobbies, and his only hobby is to gain the "trust" of others.
It is no wonder that at the most critical time of the Battle of Changping in history, Lian Po was replaced by Zhao Kuo because he was not appointed by Zhao Ren, resulting in the annihilation of the 400,000 Zhao army, and the Zhao State has been in a slump since then, which must have caused huge psychological trauma to Lian Po, and the "trust" of the monarch has become the only factor to please Lian Po.
When he got to Lian Po's "pulse" and received a point of benevolence, the potter was very happy, and immediately raised his glass and said with a heroic smile: "Let's drink him tonight, don't get drunk, and wake up tomorrow and beat the water dog, chase Zang Ba, and drink his mother's."
"Fuck it" The potter drank it all, and the soldiers roared excitedly and raised their glasses to drink.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion and the entire Kaiyang City were immersed in the ecstasy of the great victory tonight.
Tancheng, a few hundred miles away, is a different scene.
Within a few days, the news that the pottery merchants had defeated Zang Ba and broken Kaiyang reached the Donghai County Governor's Office, causing the people of a city to fall into an uproar again.
The potter, who was once regarded as an incompetent gentleman, has once again become a man of the hour in the streets and alleys of Xuzhou, and he has constant private discussions.
"Have you heard that the old man Tao cultivated himself gave the name of an ancient general Lian Po, and the result was really as brave as Lian Po, killing that Taishan thief Zang Ba and fleeing, and he didn't even dare to enter Kaiyang City."
"That's Zang Ba, the leader of Taishan Kou, the first state pastor and our current state pastor Xuande Gong are all afraid of three points, and they don't dare to do anything, and they actually defeated Tao Dagongzi."
"It seems that we have all looked away, this Tao Dagongzi is really not an ordinary person, I knew that it was better to pass on the position to him at the beginning."
In the streets and alleys, everyone is talking about potters, even street vendors, all of whom are inseparable from potters.
On the avenue, the middle-aged man with a pale face and a kind face riding a tall horse, listened to these discussions, and his two thick eyebrows quietly wrinkled.
"Lord, it seems that Mi Bei's plan to kill people with a knife has failed again."
Beside the middle-aged man, a young scribe riding a white horse sighed in a low voice.
"Go to the county hall."
The middle-aged man's thick eyebrows furrowed again, he snorted, rode his horse and whipped, and galloped away along the avenue.
A sly smile rose at the corner of the young scribe's mouth, shouted "Ride", and rode his horse to follow, heading straight for the Taishou Mansion of Donghai County. isjgy:
