The potter dismissed everyone, including Mulan and Ganmei, and then sent another member of the martial arts hall to go.
Half an hour later, when the martial artist came out of the hall, his temperament had completely changed, and he took the potter's order and arrow, and hurriedly retired.
Subsequently, Lian Po and other suspicious generals were re-summoned into the lobby.
At this time, the potter's expression was already quite relaxed, and he was confident that he had a strategy to break the enemy, and he would be able to break Lu Bu within a month at the latest.
The potter's announcement shocked everyone, both excited and skeptical.
Speaking of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the martial arts hall, everyone naturally knows this, the martial artist who held the arrow just now must have been selected by the potter and entrusted with the important task of defeating Lu Bu.
The big guys guessed that that person must be on a secret mission for the potter, and this task was to defeat Lu Bu.
"Husband, what kind of trick do you have to defeat Lu Bu," Mulan asked impatiently.
The potter smiled mysteriously, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you can show some patience, and defend the city with peace of mind, and you will see it soon." ” The big guy came out and saw that it was a matter of confidentiality, and the potter didn't want to leak too much, so as not to be guarded against by Lu Bu, so he didn't ask more.
"Ahem, the old man has to remind the lord, right now Lu Bu is rampantly tight, attacking the city and plundering the land everywhere, the old man thinks that he must teach Lu Bu a proper lesson, otherwise the people of the county are panicked, and they all think that we have abandoned them, if they all surrender to Lu Bu, I am afraid we will hold out for less than a month."
The potter's reminder made the potter's figure shake slightly, and his brows couldn't help frowning again.
Lian Po is right, he has a strategy to break the enemy here, but the soldiers and civilians in the counties don't know his reality, all they see is that he, the state herdsman, is cowering in Tancheng and does not dare to fight, and sits back and watches Lu Bu wantonly sack the counties, if he does not make a counterattack, the soldiers and civilians in the counties may not take me long, and they will lose confidence in him and surrender to Lu Bu one after another.
"Old man, what you said makes sense, but what's the use, how can we fight back against Lu Bu in our current situation."
Fan Hao shouted loudly, but he didn't forget to stuff meat in his mouth.
The potter nodded slightly, and glanced at Chen Ping, who was hiding in the corner and sipping wine, "Drunkard Chen, hurry up and come up with a strategy to counterattack Lu Bu and boost the morale of the army and civilians, otherwise you won't want to drink the good wine of the Gan family in the future." ” The pottery merchant summoned him not for nothing, good wine is provided to him every day, that is, he values his strategy, if Chen Ping can't give him advice at a critical moment, then what's the use of him.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Chen Ping choked on his breath, the lazy expression on his face was slightly restrained, and he became serious.
Wiping the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, Chen Ping sneered and said, "Don't worry about the fire, let me ponder." ” Chen Ping licked the wine gourd with his tongue, pretended to smile easily, tapped his fingertips on his forehead, and began to meditate with all his might.
The potter kept staring at him, as if he was forcing him to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
"Got it" After thinking for a while, Chen Ping slapped his thigh, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The potter's heart was excited, and when he saw his expression, he knew that he had come up with a brilliant plan.
Chen Ping shook the wine gourd, looked mysterious, and said with a smile: "Isn't what Lu Bujun lacks the most is grain and grass, then let's make a fuss about this grain word." ” A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the "grain" potter, and in a blink of an eye, he had guessed eight or nine points, and the corners of his mouth raised a knowing smile.
A few days later, it was nightfall.
The north gate of Tancheng was wide open, and a grain transport team with the word "Mi" flag hurriedly entered Tancheng under the cover of night.
Although Lü Bu was arrogant, his strength did not reach the point of encircling Tancheng, and except for the south gate, the other three gates were actually not garrisoned by enemy troops.
It is precisely because of this that the grain transportation team of the potters can smoothly enter Tancheng.
It's just that the 100 carts of grain and grass were three days later than the time set by the potter.
"Mi Zizhong, this batch of grain and grass should have been delivered three days ago, why don't you respect my orders" On the city tower, the potter glared at Mi Zhu, who came to restore his life, angry and annoyed.
Mi Zhu was sweating on his forehead, and he was busy explaining, what road is not easy to walk, what is worried about Lu Bujun robbing grain halfway, in short, he found a lot of excuses.
The potter's face was gloomy and he was silent.
Hua Mulan beside her said coldly: "State pastoral, grain and grass are important military affairs, Mi Zhu has been delayed for three whole days, and it should be beheaded according to the law." ” As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu was shocked, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and he said anxiously: "Zhu is indeed a few days late to deliver the grain and grass for irresistible reasons, please forgive the lord." ” The potter was still silent, his eyes were uncertain, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, not knowing whether to dispose of Mi Zhu.
Lian Po on the side of "cough cough" coughed and said: "If in peacetime, the lord can not care, but now when the two armies are fighting, if the lord does not punish Mi Zhu, he will not be able to rectify military discipline, and it is more likely to summon the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, thinking that the lord is biased, and the military spirit is at risk of collapse. ” Lian Po was extremely prestigious in the army, and what he said carried a lot of weight, and the potter could not ignore it, and what he said was also very reasonable.
It's just that now is the time to employ people, and we still have to keep Mizhu to supply grain and grass, and you can't kill it, only a little punishment can be given to set an example.
After pondering for a long time, the potter waved his hand and said: "Mi Zhu, you are missing the time limit for transporting grain, according to the law, you should be beheaded, thinking that if you are a first offender, I will spare you to die, beat you with thirty military sticks, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." ” Mi Zhu was originally relieved when he heard that the potter spared him for his capital crime, but when he heard that he was going to beat him with thirty military sticks, he was immediately frightened and his expression changed.
"Lord, Lord" Before Mi Zhu could explain, the potter didn't want to hear him say more, turned around and flicked his hand, and the pro-army on the left and right dragged Mi Zhu aside, and pulled off his pants to be a stick.
"Ahh Mi Zhu's screams echoed in the city, and more than 1,000 pairs of eyes gathered at the north gate all witnessed the scene of Mi Zhu being beaten, some people shook their heads and sighed, and some people secretly sneered.
The next day, south of Tancheng, the Lu army camped.
It was late at night, but the lights were bright in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Lu Bu was discussing with his civil and military henchmen overnight a strategy to break the city.
Although for several days, Lü Bu's troops and horses attacked the city and plundered the land, and broke through several cities, but those cities were not rich counties, and the grain and grass seized from them were not enough to meet the needs of Lü Bu's entire army.
As for the other wealthy counties, the potters were clearly prepared, and in addition to the village soldiers, a small number of regular troops were left to defend the city, and the city defenses were reinforced beforehand.
In the face of these cities, the soldiers and horses that Lu Bu divided were not enough to break through, and he wanted to divide more soldiers and horses, but he was afraid that he would weaken the strength of the Tancheng camp and be taken advantage of by the potters.
Therefore, Lu Bu is very arrogant on the surface, but he actually has a headache.
"Lord, until now, only by slaughtering a few cities, showing our ruthless methods, and scaring the guts of the recalcitrant people, can those cities surrender out of fear" Hao Meng, the general, offered a poisonous plan.
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he seemed to be interested in Hao Meng's poisonous plan.
Chen Deng's face changed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, don't do it, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou back then, and it was precisely because of his repeated slaughter of the city that the people of Xuzhou hated him and rebelled angrily. ” Chen Deng is a native of Xuzhou, and although he is currently in a state of hostility with the people of the Eastern Sea because of his own affairs, he is still in the same state township, and of course he cannot allow Lu Bu to slaughter his hometown.

Lu Bu also heard that it made sense, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he looked at Chen Gong, wanting to see what his chief strategist was.
Chen Gong's eyes were slightly closed, pretending not to hear anything, neither in favor of Hao Meng nor against Chen Deng.
Hao Meng was anxious, glared at Chen Deng and said: "You are from Xuzhou, of course you don't want us to slaughter the East China Sea, but now it is winter, and our grain and grass stocks are stretched. ” Chen Deng was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
Lu Bu fell silent again, it seemed that Hao Meng's words made his psychology inclined to the ruthless plan of slaughtering the city.
When he was hesitating, the pro-army outside the tent came to report, saying that someone from outside had come, claiming to be Mi Zhu's henchman Mi Gui, and he had something important to ask to see Lu Bu. isjgy:
