The pottery merchant was very rude in his long article. After he finished speaking, he felt thirsty and directly picked up the cup and took another sip.

After drinking, I picked up the handkerchief and wiped my mouth, but found that Kong Yi stared at him in a constant state, his eyes filled with deep confusion and confusion.

It is a kind of dilated look. People with this kind of look usually have only two situations: one is to die... the other is to be demented.

The Tao Shang was so uncomfortable that he was gaze from Kong Qi. He coughed in a low voice to relieve his embarrassment: "Uncle Shi, what do you think of me like this... what do you think of my nephew's appearance?"

Kong Yichang seemed to have come back a little: "It's okay."

The pottery was a little unhappy.

My eyes are dizzy. I deserve you to be beaten by Sun Jian. What does it mean to be okay? Is it very handsome?

"Nephew, the three points you said just now... I feel, a little, a little... what words can I use to describe it?"

Tao Shang responded respectfully: "Is it a bit treacherous?"

Kong Yichang didn't say anything, but his flashing expression obviously explained everything...approval!!

The pottery thought about it and patiently continued to explain to Kong Yichang: "Uncle Shi, in human nature, there are two purest things. Do you know what it is?"

Kong Yi stroked Xuzi and replied with a smile: "Of course I know, one is called Zhong and the other is called Yi."

Tao Shang shook his head. It was so tiring to talk to such a person. He was so stupid... Sure enough, there was still a generation gap of more than 1,800 years.

"Uncle Shi, what you said is wrong. There are two kinds of things in human nature: one is called greed and the other is called fear."

Kong Yichang's face suddenly became confused: "What's the matter?"

When playing the piano against a cow, it is another Mi Fang.

Too lazy to explain so much to Kong Yichang, Tao Shang continued to explain: "If we want to achieve the three points we have just mentioned, we must stimulate Sun Jian's greed. Once Sun Jian shows his greedy nature, then Yuan Shu will feel fear in his bones!"

Kong Yichang really held back and couldn't help but slap the table and said, "Nephew, can you say something... can I understand?"

"Okay, then I'm simple and clear." Tao Shang also felt that he couldn't argue with Kong Yichang anymore. He used to think that this old man was a little stupid, but now he realized that he had used the wrong word...

It’s not that the word ‘silly’ is used incorrectly, but the word used incorrectly is ‘dip’… It should be used in “dip a lot”.

"If you want to overcome the current crisis, first of all, Uncle Shi must believe me unconditionally."

Kong Yiqiang patted his chest and said, "That's natural, we are allies!"

"Okay." The pottery nodded and said, "First of all, Sun Jian asked us to ask for 100,000 stones of grain and grass, he 50,000 stones, Yuan Shu 50,000 stones... Please ask Uncle Shi to get him 200,000 stones!"

Kong Yiqiang's face suddenly sank.

"You said this outside the city, but I don't understand... I need food and grass, either Sun Jian makes things difficult for me, or Yuan Shu conspires with him to make things difficult for me... Isn't it that I have doubled my relationship with them? Why do I do this?"

Tao Shang stood up, looked around, then walked to Kong Yichang, attached his head to his ear, and whispered.

"A group of wolves are surrounded by danger. Uncle Shi is now trapping a wolf! He can't bear to leave his children, how can the wolf take the bait?"

Kong Yichang: “…………”

...

...

Three days later, Kong Yichang's 200,000 stones of grain and grass were sent to Sun Jian's camping place as promised.

On the top of Yangdi City, watching trucks of grain transported into Sun Jian's camp, two tears appeared in Kong Yichang's old eyes.

"Uncle Shi feels distressed?" Tao Shang stood behind him and asked with concern.

Kong Qiying sighed: "I regret not being the governor of Yuzhou, I regret not joining the alliance to challenge Dong!"

The Taoist merchant was embarrassed to say that if he didn't become the governor of Yuzhou, the 100,000 stones of grain and grass had nothing to do with you... If he didn't join the Dong League, you might be killed by Sun Jian a few months ago.

But the other person was heartbroken there. The pottery merchant was worried about Kong Yichang's mood at the moment, and he kept this in his heart and didn't say it... these days, he has said too much... hurt people.

At this moment, Mi Fang hurried behind Tao Shang and whispered: "Young Master, the person who leaked the news of Governor Kong's support to our army to Sun Jian, found out."

The last time Sun Jian said in person that Kong Jichang sent grain and arms to the pottery merchant, the pottery merchant felt very strange... How could Sun Jian know about this so quickly?

The pottery turned his head and said, "Who?"

Mi Fang smiled sinisterly and said, "Wu Zhao!"

Tao Shang was a little confused when he heard this: "Who is Wu Zhao?"

Mi Fang said anxiously: "Hey, you are quite forgetful! It is the Captain Wu who was beaten by dozens of military sticks before we sent troops! The one who claimed to be Cao Bao's personal orders! You killed the chicken to warn the monkey."

"Oh!" Tao Shang suddenly said after hearing this: "As soon as you say this, I remembered it. It is the one I will help you establish your authority before we send troops..."

Mi Fang waved his hand quickly and said, "What does it mean to establish authority for me? You have made it possible for you to establish authority... You have also spent money, but what I spent is mine!"

The Tao merchant laughed gently and patted Mi Fang on the shoulder: "Don't be so stingy! This time you found a spy and you have the first contribution. I will write a cousin to my father and I promise to give you a high-ranking official position!"

Mi Fang hummed and muttered, "You are not even an official, but you still protect me..."

After hearing this, Tao Shang wanted to kick him... This kid is an ungrateful wolf who is not well-equipped!

"By the way, what should I do if Captain Wu do? Do you want me to take him..." Having said this, Mi Fang made a cutting position with her hands.

Tao Shang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, keeping him may be useful in the future. Just be more careful about him in the future... Don't worry, someone will solve him for us in the future... It's not my style to deal with his own people, I am a gentleman."

Mi Fang rolled Tao Shang's eyes at a squinting glance, shook her head and sighed.

The pottery turned his head and looked at Kong Yichang and asked, "Governor Kong, Yingchuan is a place with many famous families and private schools everywhere. Do you have famous scholars in the world? The kind of people who are particularly influential?"

Kong Yiqiong had not recovered from the grief and anger of losing 200,000 stones of food and grass at this moment. He sobbed and said, "What do you want to do?"

Tao Shang said slowly: "I need someone who is qualified to be a lobbyist at Yuan Shu!"

Kong Yichang raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sighing: "There is someone who is very suitable..."

...

...

In Sun Jian's camp outside the city, Kong Yichang's envoy was reporting to Sun Jian the number of food and fodder and trucks.

After listening with a blank expression on his face, Sun Jian said to the messenger casually: "I will thank you for your governor Kong when I go back."

After saying that, he ignored the messenger and turned around and walked into his handsome tent.

Behind Sun Jian, a group of trusted generals entered one after another.

Among all the people, Huang Gai was the most powerful and strong. As soon as he entered the tent, he said to Sun Jian: "Congratulations to General! Congratulations to General! Two hundred thousand stones of food and grass! Kong Yiwei was really scared by you and actually did such a thing that hurts his face! Haha, after entering Luoyang this time, our army will no longer worry about food and grass for several months."

Sun Jian snorted coldly and said, "Kong Yichang, this guy, scared him and did such a shameful thing... He really has no backbone. How can such a person be worthy of being the lord of a state?"

On the way down, Zu Mao, one of the four powerful generals under Sun Jian, also said: "Who said it was not! The general will scold him again tomorrow and scare him, I am afraid that he will even offer the entire Yangdi City with both hands!"

When the words were finished, everyone in the tent burst into laughter.

Only one person is calm.

Cheng Pu suddenly asked, "Lord, how much food and fodder should be sent to Yuan Shu?"

Sun Jian said calmly: "I have already explained to Yuan Shu that he will ask for 50,000 stones of grain and grass to him when he arrived in Yingchuan, which is considered a gift for him to settle in Nanyang County... Now that this matter has been done, I will send someone to send 50,000 stones of grain and grass to Luyang to provide for Duke Yuan."

Cheng Pu frowned, feeling a little inappropriate in his heart.

"Lord, Kong Yiqiang sent 200,000 stones of food and fodder, and we only gave only 50,000 to Yuan Shu. Isn't it a bit too..."

Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "The 200,000 stones of food and grass were sent by Kong Yiqiang independently, and it was not something that Sun Qiang asked him... Besides, our army was working hard on an expedition and urgently needed food and fodder! In this expedition to Dong Zhuo, our army must be the front of the princes! The supplies of each unit should also be the first! How could Yuan Gong be so proud of the truth?"

Cheng Pu still felt something was wrong and wanted to speak again, but when he saw Sun Jian wave his hand, he no longer wanted to listen.

Cheng Pu sighed inwardly.

As my lord, everything is good... I am a little stubborn and once I decide on anything, I will not be able to listen to others' advice.

This problem seems to be small, but once something happens later, it can easily lead to huge disasters... I hope it is my own worrying.

...

...

At this moment, Yuan Shujun is stationed here on Mount Lu, eighteen miles southwest of Luyang.

Yuan Shu arranged his troops and horses in the Xuanwu and Heyi formations, with five camps wide in front of him and seven camps on his back. The entire camp was in a circular shape, Gong Wei held the tent of the chief general of the central army.

Inside the tent were four braziers, with red charcoal fires burning inside.

A thin man wearing silver armor and red brocade robe was closing his eyes on the woods to rest. He looked extremely handsome. Although he was over middle age, he still looked elegant and elegant. His skin was as white as about twenty people, which was even better than a woman.

Because of his good maintenance and handsome appearance, it makes people feel a little bit accustomed, but today, no one will despise this person because of his handsome appearance.

After the four generations and three noble families, the son of Sikong Yuan Feng, one of the three elders, was the post of a later general who was under the nine ministers! These halos that ordinary people could not be exposed to for several lifetimes, Yuan Shu had all of them under forty...

During the Ten Constables Rebellion, the courage and determination to burn the Jiulongmen of Nangong! Now he has the ambition to rule Jiangnan!

With these things, at least among the current people in the world, no one dared to underestimate Yuan Shu, nor did Dong Zhuo dare.

At this time, Yuan Shu leaned on the soft couch, his eyes slightly dozed, as if he was dozing off. In front of him, there was a tall middle-aged scholar standing, who was leisurely, neither humble nor arrogant.

This person was a lobbyist sent by Kong Yichang, who had just entered Yuan Shu's tent.

"You are the messenger of Kong Yaqian?"

After a little later, Yuan Shu opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a shiny light in his eyes, which seemed quite gloomy, like an eagle, which made people feel afraid.
