After some explanation, the depression in Guan Yu's heart was released a lot, and he wanted to retreat.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
After hesitating for a moment, Guan Yu still lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Big brother, I recently heard that the traitor of the pottery merchant forcibly married that Mi Zhen, has the eldest brother heard about it?"
” Liu Bei's body shook slightly, and his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, his righteous brother really didn't open any pot and which pot to mention, just pretending that it didn't happen, and he had to mention his sadness.
"How can the potter's every move be hidden from my brother's ears and eyes, I already knew."
Liu Bei said lightly, his tone and demeanor deliberately disapplauded.
Guan Yu sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "That Mi Zhen should have been the wife of the eldest brother, but she was forcibly married by the traitor of the pottery merchant, this traitor humiliated the eldest brother so much, it is really hateful" Guan Yu didn't mention the word "humiliation", but Liu Bei was not comforted by such a mention, but felt like he had been punched in the heart, and his gray face suddenly became gloomy.
"Yes, that kid not only humiliated his brother, he also snatched Diao Chan, snatched the woman you like, second brother, sooner or later he will use the same means to humiliate the second brother" Liu Bei replied coldly, as if he was deliberately poking Guan Yu's sore spot.
Guan Yu's figure was shocked, his bare face turned red to purple, his fists clenched, and his eyes were both angry and embarrassed.
He glanced at Liu Bei, and from that unhappy face, Guan Yu realized that what he said just now embarrassed his brother.
He was uneasy in his heart, so he had to force down the nest fire, and barely squeezed out a smile on his bare face, "Big brother, don't misunderstand, the foolish brother just hates the shamelessness of the pottery thief, and has no other meaning, the foolish brother swears that one day he will break the pottery thief's body into pieces and avenge the eldest brother." ” Liu Bei's gloomy face immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and he also felt that Fang Cai's irony towards Guan Yu hurt his brother's heart a little.
He patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, pretending to be disapproving: "Second brother, how can you not know your intentions for your brother, don't worry, you don't blame you for your brother." ” Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Bei stood up again, stood in front of the map, stood with his hands in his hands, stared at the word Xuzhou, and said proudly: "Why is the husband without a wife, women are like clothes, they are broken when they are broken, what's the big deal, after he realizes the great cause of recovering Xuzhou for his brother one day, he will definitely let you kill the pottery thief with your own hands, and the Diao Chan you like will still be yours." ” "Thank you, big brother, with big brother's words, Yu will be relieved."
Guan Yu also got up and bowed deeply, full of admiration for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face was swept away, and the arrogance of the hero was restored, he came to the door, stood on the high steps, looked to the east, and the deep-set eyes burned with a trace of cold murderous intent.
"Potter thief, your humiliation to me, I will ask you to repay ten times sooner or later, and Mi Zhen, you shameless little slut, sooner or later I will also let you prostrate at my feet, crying and begging me for mercy" Xiapi City.
The potter has come out of the gentle township of Mi Zhen and is planning the next step.
The first thing he did was to allocate a huge amount of money to enable Zhang Yi to establish a network of intelligence workers all over the world.
The positive meaning is to know oneself and know one's opponent, and win all battles, and the "knowing one's opponent" refers to the enemy's intelligence to a large extent.
The potter knows that sometimes a small piece of information can even change the course of the entire war and decide the fate of a country.
Just like the battle of Guandu in history, if Xu Yu had not defected and revealed the defense information of the Wuchao granary to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not have been able to successfully burn grain, and the outcome of the battle of Guandu would have been very likely to change, and the entire historical trend would have been turned upside down.
It is precisely because he knows the importance of intelligence that Tao Shang has to make great efforts to set up an intelligence network system, and Zhang Yi, the world's number one fool, is good at this, so he naturally wants to give him this task.
To set up such a huge intelligence system, of course, it costs a huge amount of money, the pottery merchant used to be poor, and now he is married to Mi Zhen such a "rich woman", the Mi family's wealth is his, he can spend it how he wants, this money is a drop in the bucket for him.
At the same time as the formation of the intelligence network, the pottery merchants were also stepping up the formation and training of the new army, and after the reorganization of the surrendered soldiers, plus the newly recruited recruits, the actual number of troops under the command of the pottery merchants has reached 32,000.
This also includes more than 1,000 light cavalry and more than 200 cavalry.
Such an army with cavalry and a considerable number of troops is also a force to be reckoned with in the world.
With this army of soldiers and horses, after the beginning of spring, the potters were already considering external expansion and planting their battle flags on the territory outside Xuzhou.
After all, sitting in Xuzhou, no matter how rich you govern this state, you will only end up sitting and waiting to die like Liu Biao.
What's more, Xuzhou is different from Jingzhou, it is the land of four wars, take Cao Cao as an example, although he is now confronting the two princes of Liu Zhang on the front line of Nanyang, once he has time, he will inevitably attack Xuzhou again.
The potter knew that he had to take advantage of Cao Cao's precious time to quickly expand his territory, and then he had the strength to compete with Cao Cao for the Central Plains.
As for which direction to expand, the potters and Chen Ping's strategists also went through some trade-off research.
In the direction of Qingzhou in the north, Yuan Xi's ability is average, and it may not be impossible to go north to win Qingzhou, but he openly provoked Yuan Shao, a giant, with his current strength, it is a problem to start a comprehensive war with Cao Cao, let alone Yuan Shao.
It is obviously unwise to send troops to Qingzhou.
As for Yanzhou, although Cao Cao was frustrated before, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and at this moment he started a war with him, it is very likely that both sides will lose, and then Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to go south to pick peaches, this kind of live Lei Feng potters will naturally not do it.
Discussion went on and on, and in the end there was only one suitable goal left: Yuan Shu.
"Yuan Shu is arrogant and extravagant in Huainan, and the people of Huainan are complaining about him, everyone thinks about change, with the current strength of our army, go south with all their might, and it may not be impossible to destroy Yuan Shu."
Chen Deng was the first to stand up to support the attack on Yuan Shu, of course, because many of the Chen family's industries are in Guangling County, and Guangling County is currently under the control of Yuan Shu.
"Huainan is a rich land, if we can take it, we can greatly expand our strength, and then we will have the strength to fight with Cao Cao, and it is feasible to send troops to Huainan."
The drunkard Chen Ping also shook the wine gourd to express his support.
Although the potter was silent, he was also psychologically inclined to attack Yuan Shu.
Not only because of the reasons said by the two strategists, but also because compared with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's strength is the weakest, and he is barely equal to himself in terms of strength, and it is easiest to destroy him.
"Although Yuan Shu is arrogant, he only suffers the common people of Huainan, he relies on the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and the famous people of the Huainan clan generally support him, if our army moves south, I am afraid that it may not be able to destroy Yuan Shu as smoothly as you expected, and then I am afraid that it will fall into a stalemate and give Cao Cao a chance."
Zhang Yi also spoke, but his point of view was different, thinking that Yuan Shu had not reached the point of losing people's hearts.
In the lobby, everyone was silent for a while, and it was obvious that Zhang Yi had said the key point.
In today's era, the will of the people is important, but the heart of the people is more important than the will of the people at some point.

The people are unorganized and undisciplined, and only when they are cornered can they rise up to resist, offending the powerful people of the world, but they can pull out a fully armed army in minutes.
In the silence, I heard a confident sneer from the potter.
"Don't worry, in a few days, Yuan Shu will definitely lose the support of the world's heroes, and our opportunity will appear soon."
Everyone was shocked, and they looked at their lord with suspicious and surprised eyes.
"Why did the lord say this," Zhang Yi didn't believe it.
Tao Shang said lightly: "Yuan Shu, this thief is very ambitious, now he has obtained the jade seal of the country, I expect him to ascend the throne and become the emperor in the next few days, and then he will become the target of the public, not only the people, but also the powerful people of Huainan will definitely abandon him, isn't this our opportunity." ” Yuan Shu will be the emperor The potter's judgment was really amazing, and all the wise and resourceful people present were taken aback.
In this troubled era, the emperor's authority was almost lost, and the Son of Heaven in Xu Du was just a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao, a fact that everyone knows, but the princes of the world, no matter how powerful they are, still respect the Son of Heaven in name after all, and no one dares to take the lead and be the first bird.
Even if Yuan Shao was so strong that he opposed Liu Xie as the Son of Heaven at the beginning, he now has to admit it, let alone Yuan Shu.
"Even if Yuan Shu is ambitious, he doesn't have the courage to do so."
Zhang Yi's tone was full of suspicion, obviously not quite trusting the potter's judgment.
The rest, such as Chen Deng and the drunkard Chen Ping, were also skeptical of the potter's judgment.
"Whether Yuan Shu dares to be the emperor or not, he will find out soon."
The potter didn't argue with them, only smiled confidently.
In the lobby, there was a lot of discussion, and these wise and resourceful people looked at each other, exchanged glances, expressions and words, and were all full of suspicion about the potter.
Not only the strategists, but even the generals such as Yingbu, and even his wife Mulan, didn't seem to dare to believe the judgment of the potter.
That's the emperor, whoever dares to do this is tantamount to openly rebelling, openly making enemies of the world, and to provoke the world's heroes to crusade and besiege, no matter how arrogant Yuan Shu is, he will not be so stupid.
At this moment, a member of his own soldiers rushed in and shouted: "Lord Qi, Huainan urgently, a few days ago, Yuan Shu had announced that he was the emperor in Shouchun. ” In an instant, there was silence in the lobby.
Zhang Yi, Chen Ping, Chen Deng, and even Hua Mulan, Yingbu and other military generals, all looked at the potters with stunned faces and frightened eyes. isjgy:
