"Brother, you are so awesome! I was stunned by my father's words just now. I saw the look my father looked at you just now, and I really admire him."

After leaving the main hall, Tao Ying turned against the confused state just now and opened his mouth and kept talking nonstop.

Tao Shang looked at his younger brother helplessly, and sweated coldly for his innocence.

"Second brother, I'm not criticizing you for your brother. I really should have beaten you back to my mother's womb and I have done it again... 'Admiration'... Can this word be used on me and my father?"

Tao Ying's expression was very cute: "What should I say?"

The pottery was also puzzled by one sentence. This... seems a bit difficult to describe.

"Worship? Not to...respect? It's not appropriate...respect? Are you more reliable? Or are you promising?"

Tao Ying listened to Tao merchant muttering, and suddenly said, "Brother, I am so impressed by this poem today. What is the metaphor for me?"

“…similar to appreciation…”

"Oh!" Tao Ying nodded, as if he suddenly realized: "So that...Brother, our father is really impressed with you today."

Tao merchant raised his hand to wipe his sweat, but he didn't know if Tao Ying used this to describe his father's feelings for him, and would be struck by lightning.

"Brother, are you really going to lead the troops to challenge Dong Zhuo for Dad?" Tao Ying's expression was still very cute.

The Tao merchant sighed and suddenly realized that no matter how he studied it, the matter was still incomprehensible.

"There is no way... I'll start to rush the duck and I don't want to try it. This may be the retribution for being too idle... The person who has too idle problems doesn't seem to be me... I'm here to take the blame..."

Tao Ying couldn't understand: "Brother, what are you mumbling there?"

Tanshu: "…"

"Brother, why don't you go with you?"

Tao Shang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it won't work... The father has only two sons, one of whom goes to the army to fight, and the other must stay in the house. If the one who goes to fight fails to die, at least one successor will have a successor, so the family will not face the problem of inheritance of descendants."

After hearing this, Tao Ying's expression was almost like crying anxiously: "Brother, no! You won't die!"

Tao Shang turned around, patted Tao Ying on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Second brother, don't worry, brother will definitely not die. If I die, will the property of your family belong to you? Brother will not be so cheap."

Tao Ying bit his lip, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Brother, you are so nice to me..."

"Just you know."

...

...

A day later, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian issued an order to confer Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang as the General of the Central Army, serving as the chief general of the expedition, commanding the lieutenant, army Sima and other deputy personnel, and a total of 5,000 horse army, infantry army, and crossbowmen. They gathered with the princes and attacked Dong Zhuo in the west. At the same time, Cao Bao's younger brother Cao Chu was arranged to be the Cangcao to assist Mi Zhu in supervising the food and grass matters of the western expedition.

The General of the Central Army was considered a relatively good official position that Tao Qian could hold after the founding of the mansion. Although the boundaries of power were blurred, it can be seen that Tao Qian did take the opportunity to support the Mi family this time.

In this way, Mi Zhu's desire to interfere in Xuzhou's military affairs was realized, but at the same time, the people of the Cao family also interfered in the money and food affairs that the Mi family had always been responsible for.

With the advice of Tao merchants, the Mi family and Cao family did not even have time to worry about Tao Qian's provocation, but began to make consolation to deal with the situation, which gradually began to crack.

As for the pottery, he received an order to be named a military supervisor and an iron military supervisor token.

At present, the princes from Guandong received letters from Qiao Mao who falsely claimed to be the three dukes of the capital, and they had already raised troops in various places. As far as we know, Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao and Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang were stationed in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang from Shangdang led 3,000 troops to meet; Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Cao Cao and others gathered in Soyzao; Yuan Shu and Sun Jian stationed in Luyang; Kong Qichang stationed in Yingchuan.

Tao Qian first wrote a letter, lied to all the princes that he was old and sick, and was not suitable for expedition. He could only send his son Tao Shang to join the army for his father. After receiving the reply from the princes, he immediately ordered Tao Shang and Mi Fang to formulate a policy and discuss the issue of sending troops.

The Taoist merchant had no possessions, and his possessions were basically Tao Qian's. Apart from clothes, the only thing he had to do was the 10,000 yuan borrowed from Mi Zhu belonged to him. After thinking about it, the Taoist merchant decided to bring the money with him, and the family was rich. If he really failed in the battlefield and was captured, he might even be able to buy his life with the money.

With the packed things, he was about to go out to report to the military camp. The housekeeper Tao Hong and his second brother Tao Ying saw him off at the door. The old and the young cried like a mourning person, as if the pottery merchant could not come back now, which made the pottery merchant feel very wronged.

What does it mean to be unfavorable to get a master? That’s it!

After getting on the carriage, Tao Shang saw Tao Qian secretly standing at the doorbar from the corner of his eyes, silently seeing him off. Although he was just a figure, Tao Shang could also see through the reflection on the ground that his body with a crutch seemed to be a hunched old tree, without showing any vitality and uprightness, as if it had been eaten.

"Let's go." The potter's eyes were a little sore, but they didn't stop. He heard the sound of a horse whip, and the carriage pulled the potter and slowly drove out of the city.

Ten miles west of the city is where the five thousand soldiers led by Mi Fang are stationed.

When the carriage came outside the gate, the pottery showed the military supervision token. The soldiers respectfully led the carriage into the military camp and guided the pottery to the commander's tent.

Mi Fang had already arranged troops to station here a few days ago, and now he made a special trip to wait for the pottery merchant.

"Big Young Master!" The Tao Merchant entered the handsome tent and saw the fat Mi Fang running to the Tao Merchant happily and bowing to him: "Big Young Master! It's been a long time since I was gone!"

Tao Shang was stunned: "Who is your priest?"

Mi Fang tsk: "The eldest son, the noble man has forgotten many things. I will be the last general Mi Fang. That day, the young master went to Mi Mansion to see my brother. I will forget the way he once led to the young master?"

It would be better if Mi Fang didn't say that, but the pottery merchant was very dissatisfied with this.

Who is this kid? Traitor! Traitor! Bastard!... Last time I was in Mi Mansion, I openly made fun of me!

In history, Mi Fang followed Liu Bei for nearly 25 years, but finally fought in Xiangfan, rebelling against the emperor, which indirectly led to Guan Yu being killed and losing his loyalty and trust. How can he serve the king?

My father, Tao Qian, a son of the Confucian family, has held several positions and is in charge of a state. He has a strong reputation. My Tao merchant is also a gentleman... Since he is a gentleman, how can he lose his own value and betray such a despicable villain?

"Yeah." The potter responded lukewarmly, saying hello.

"Hmm? Ah?" Mi Fang was a little confused. The attitude of Mr. Tao seemed to be a little too cold to him, which was different from the last time he was smiling at his house.

"Young Master, have you remembered the wrong person? I am me! Mi Fang! We have met you! You and my elder brother, the three of us are still together..."

"Yeah." The potter was still very cold.

Mi Fang was stunned when she saw the young man with a stern face... Is this guy a little forgetful? Last time he just agreed to let me form an alliance with the Mi family to suppress the treasure. I haven't seen each other for a few days, why is there no enthusiasm at all? Is he really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

"Young Master, have you recognized the wrong person? Think about it carefully. You came to my house some time ago... Do you still owe my family money? I don't remember... 10,000 yuan." Mi Fang carefully reminded.

"……………” Tao Shang's mouth began to twitch.

After a while.

"Isn't this brother Mi Fang? I didn't see clearly just now... I haven't seen each other for many days, and my brother seems to have lost weight." Tao Shang held Mi Fang's hand and smiled like a spring breeze.

Mi Fang was a little confused by the rapid change of the pottery merchant and did not react for a moment: "Yes, is it? I lost weight wherever I went, and I felt like I had gained a few pounds... The eldest son worked hard and worried about Xuzhou, and he lost weight just now. This time he came to the military camp and said that he had to make up for it."

"Thank you, Brother Mi, for your concern. By the way, I asked you about the money you borrowed last time...?"

Mi Fang waved his hand generously: "I will make the decision for my brother, so there is no need to pay it back!"

"Brother Mi, a true gentleman, is fate."
