South of Haixi City, Yuan Shujun's camp.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shu, who was fat and fat, was struggling to put on heavy armor, preparing to go into battle in person and command his soldiers to attack Haixi City again.
"Report Tancheng Urgent" A scout rushed into the account, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Lord Qi, urgent report from the north, a few days ago the pottery merchant broke Lu Bu in the south of Tancheng, Lu Bu's army was defeated and Pi, the pottery merchant led the army to pursue all the way, and now the city of Xia Pi has been besieged. ” "What" Yuan Shu, who was fat, blurted out a shock, his fat body trembled violently, his feet were unstable, and he almost couldn't stand.
The eldest son Yuan Yao and the strategist Yang Hong were all shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Isn't Lu Bu's strength far superior to that lowly thief, how can it be broken" Yuan Shu, who was slightly sober, shouted at the bottom of the fight.
The scout then revealed the whole process of how the potters secretly built a ballista, defeated the fallen camp in battle, and how to destroy Lu Bu's army with one blow.
The father and son of the Yuan family listened to it, their faces were already blue, and their shocked expressions clearly couldn't believe this fact, and they couldn't believe that the famous Lu Bu was defeated by the unknown potter when he had an advantage.
After a while, Yuan Shu came back to his senses from the shock, slapped the case with his fat hand, and scolded angrily: "Lu Bu, this useless thing, I still raised troops to help him in vain, and gave him so many troops to contain the thief, I didn't expect him to be so wasteful, I really don't know how he killed Dong Zhuo back then." ” Yuan Shu scolded Lu Bu endlessly, looking like he hated him.
"Father, we must not let that pottery thief be so arrogant, it is better to transfer troops from Huainan again, and take Haixi City no matter what."
Yuan Yao, who was beside him, shouted angrily.
He thought about the revenge of being blinded by the potter, and he was thinking about revenge all the time, how could he tolerate the potter's big break of Lu Bu, and there was a great tendency to swallow Xuzhou.
The words fell, but Yang Hong squinted his eyes and looked playful: "Now that Lu Bu's strength has been greatly damaged, he has no power to fight back, if the potter turns the spearhead and moves to Haixi City, wouldn't we fight with that kid's main force, but help Lu Bu get a chance to breathe." ” "Then what do you mean," Yuan Shu aimed at him.
Yang Hong coughed dryly, and a sly smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Although Lu Bu was defeated, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses, and Xiapi is the seat of Xuzhou, the city is strong, and it is not easy for the potters to capture it."
What Hong means is, why don't we withdraw our troops first and return to Shouchun to recuperate, so that the kid may be relieved to boldly draw troops to surround Xiapi, and when he can't attack for a long time and his morale is depressed, let's take advantage of the situation to raise troops to the north, and at that time, the potters will not want to block our troops again. ” "Well, you have a point."
Yuan Shu nodded again and again, thoughtful.
As soon as Yuan Yao saw that his father had the intention of withdrawing the troops, he was anxious on the spot, and hurriedly said: "Father, we must not withdraw" "No more."
Yuan Shu waved his hand, interrupted him, and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, so let Lu Bu go and drag the pottery merchants under Xiapi City, consume the sharpness of the pottery merchants, we will collect the troops in Shouchun, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the time is ripe, the army will go north to sweep Xuzhou." ” Yuan Shu's decision had been made, and Yuan Yao didn't want to talk more, so he had to swallow this breath reluctantly, and with a strange gaze, he quietly glared at Yang Hong, who was offering advice.
Xuchang, Sikong Fu.
The night was deep and the brightly lit lobby was dry, but Cao Cao couldn't sleep, looking at the latest information sent from Xuzhou in his hand over and over again.
Lu Bu was defeated, Xiapi was besieged, and the potters shook Xuzhou.
Cao Cao played with the information in his hand, looked at it again and again, and after confirming it repeatedly, he believed that he was not dazzled.
"This kid of the potter, he actually defeated Lu Bu, it's a bit unexpected," Cao Cao muttered to himself, a hint of surprise flashing in his sunken eyes.
How powerful Lu Bu is, he knows it very well.
In the battle for Yanzhou that year, he fought with Lu Bu for a whole year, and was forced into a desperate situation several times, and in the battle of Puyang, he almost died under Lu Bu's halberd.
He is not afraid of Lu Bu, but he is jealous of Lu Bu in his heart, knowing how difficult it is to deal with this world's number one martial artist.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Bu, the person who almost drove him to a dead end, was defeated by the newly rising outlier of the potter, who had an absolute advantage.
"Fengxiao, it's rare that you made a mistake in judgment this time, it seems that this potter is stronger than Lu Bu."
Cao Cao looked at the weak young man in front of the steps, but there was no resentment in his tone.
"Ahem" Guo Jia covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and a little shame appeared on his haggard face, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Jia is just evaluating the strength and weakness of the two according to the process of the battle between the lord and Lu Bu back then, it seems that after this battle, Jia really wants to re-evaluate this potter." ” Cao Cao also smiled, and suddenly, his expression became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Tao Qian and Gu have a grudge against killing their father, although the old thief is dead, this blood debt should be borne by his son, in public and private, Gu can not tolerate the pottery merchant to take Xuzhou, Gu must take some means to meddle in the dispute in Xuzhou." ” The voice fell, Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei repeatedly asked for war before, and wanted to lead the army to capture Xuzhou, Yu thought, why didn't the lord order Liu Bei to enter Xiaopei, and use Liu Bei's influence in Xuzhou to order him to recruit troops and horses, and clamp down on the potters, so that they could not surround Pi with all their might."
At that time, Xuzhou will form a three-legged momentum, so that the three of them consume each other, contain each other, and when we draw our senses, we will reap the benefits of the fishermen and take Xuzhou in one fell swoop. ” Hearing Xun Yu's advice, Cao Cao nodded again and again, deeply convinced.
Guo Jia said hurriedly: "Jiaguan Liu Bei is a hero, with the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, the lord must not reuse this person, according to Jia's opinion, it is better to get rid of him early to prevent future troubles." ” As he spoke, Guo Jia raised his hand to make a knife, slashed his neck, and made a head-killing motion.
Cao Cao was silent and thoughtful.
Xun Yu's expression changed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Liu Bei is indeed a masterpiece, but he came to defect when he was poor, if the lord killed him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of heroes and heroes in the world, and who would dare to come to the lord again in the future."
"It makes sense."
Cao Cao nodded again, and the trace of killing intent in his heart flashed, and he broke off his heart to kill Liu Bei.
At that moment, Cao Cao ordered the drafting of a holy decree, and appointed Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, led an army of 3,000 into Xiaopei, and entered Xuzhou in the name of mediating the battle between the pottery merchant and Lu Bu.
Cao Cao's decision has been decided, and there is nothing wrong with the overall situation, Guo Jiasui is not easy to persuade him, so he retired with Xun Yu.
There was no one in the hall, and silence returned.
Cao Cao stood up, his pen dipped in ink, and came to a hall pillar.
A ranking word has been written on the column, the first one is Yuan Shao, and then there are Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shu, each of whom is a world-famous prince.
Staring at those names for a long time, Cao Cao took a light breath and wrote down the word "potter".
East of Xiapi City, Tao Army Camp.
In the brightly lit tent, the potters and his military generals were discussing the plan to break the city overnight.
Yuan Shu withdrew south to Shouchun, the pressure on the south dropped sharply, and the pottery merchants were able to transfer nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses from Zang Ba to Xiatan, so that the number of the besieging army reached 17,000, and it can be said that the situation was getting better and better for him.
But today, the latest information sent from Yanzhou has alerted the potters.

"It seems that Cao Cao can't see that I have taken Xuzhou all, and sent our old friend back to stir up this troubled water, we have to think about how to break through Picheng quickly."
The potter sneered and threw the information in his hand on the desk.
Although Xiapi City is not a strong city in the world, the city defense is also quite strong, and there are 4,000 soldiers in the city, if you want to attack it, you must rush to make a large number of siege equipment.
There is no problem in manufacturing siege equipment, potters have "ancestors of craftsmen" like Lu Ban, and what kind of powerful siege weapons cannot be made.
But whether it is to build equipment or to capture Xiapi, it takes a lot of time.
The current situation is that Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, has named Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou, allocated him 3,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered him to be stationed in Xiaopei.
Cao Cao's move was clearly to use Liu Bei's remaining influence in Xuzhou to clamp him down and prevent him from conquering Xiapi, defeating Lu Bu, and taking Xuzhou all.
Therefore, the potters must take Xiapi City before Liu Bei summons troops and has enough strength to return to Xuzhou again.
In the big tent, all the civil and military officers frowned, thinking hard about how to break the city.
"What's so difficult to break Xiapi quickly, I have a plan, I can easily take Xiapi without a single soldier."
In a period of contemplation, Chen Ping shook the wine gourd, shaking his head and saying this.
Not a single soldier What a big breath.
The potter's spirits perked up, and when he was about to ask him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something, so he smiled and said: "Drunkard Chen, you don't want me to fight Surabaya, right?"
"The lord is smart, you have guessed this, that's right, the drunkard's plan is to break Surabaya and flood Pi."
Chen Ping's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Sure enough, this is the plan.
The corners of the potter's mouth also raised a cold smirk.
Xiapi City is located in the hinterland of Xuzhou, with convenient water and land, and Surabaya in the south, which is the largest water system in Xuzhou.
Of course, the pottery merchants will not forget that in history, when Cao Cao destroyed Lü Bu, he used Guo Jia's strategy to break Surabaya to drown Pi, and finally forced the Lü Bu army in the city to have civil strife and take Pi without a fight.
Today's situation is so similar to that of the past, with Cao Cao's ready-made successful examples in front, after Chen Ping reminded him, with the ability of the potters to know history, how could they not think of this plan.
"Slap" a few shots, Tao Shang said happily: "Cao Cao wants to support Liu Bei to save Lu Bu, and doesn't want me to take Xuzhou all, so I want to let his wishful thinking fail, so I use the drunkard's trick to drown Pi" isjgy:
