Xunyang is adjacent to the river and is one of the most important territories of Jiangzhou. If an emergency occurs, Chen's heavy troops are guarding this place and tightly hindering the river, which can make Western soldiers unable to advance eastward. Therefore, whenever a confrontation between Jingyang and Yangdong occurs in Jiangdong, Jiangzhou is an extremely important coordinator. Whether it is a major Jingzhou town or Yangzhou center, the role of Jiangzhou cannot be ignored.

Xunyang is also the most important gateway of Jiangzhou. Since ancient times, the development of the south has lagged far behind the north. In this era, even the land of the Three Wus was not fully cultivated, and there was a risk of wide land and sparsely populated people. The development of Jiangzhou was still lagging behind the Three Wus. Many people were concentrated in the areas between Xunyang and Yuzhang. Going south, there were many barbarians who did not return to the king's transformation and large areas of barren mountains and wilderness.

It can be said that if Xunyang is broken through, the entire Jiangzhou will be in danger. Therefore, the entire Xunyang County is a huge military fortress that defends the heart of Jiangzhou to the south. However, due to the recent upheavals in Jiangzhou, Xunyang has not stationed too many defenders, which is not enough to fully play the role of this military town.

At this time, a middle-aged manor pavilion outside Xunyang County was located in a small manor outside Xunyang County. A middle-aged man was Zhou Fu, the prefect of Xunyang. The young man sitting opposite him was Tao Hong, who came from the east under the order of his grandfather Tao Kan.

Zhou Fu's sister married Tao Zhan, the father of Tao Hong, so the two were uncle-nephews. However, at this time, Zhou Fu looked at her nephew sitting opposite him, with a complicated expression. After a while, she was silent, she said: "Dachang, I am very pleased that you can visit my uncle. However, before you get rid of your mourning clothes, you run around. If you are seen by outsiders, it will inevitably be contrary to filial piety. If you make the discussions of things boil and are thinner than in this world, how can your father's heroic spirit be at peace?"

When Tao Hong heard his uncle's reprimand, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He understood that Zhou Fu scolded him in this way, in addition to worrying that he was wronged by the fact that he was not only afraid that he would be wronged by Jingjiang nowadays, and he was worried that he would get too close to his family and that he would be evil in Shangguan. Therefore, since he came to Xunyang, he has been placed outside the city, and Zhou Fu has not received him publicly.

He was about to explain a few words, but Zhou Fu waved his hand and continued, "What kind of reputation is the end of his words and deeds. Your father has already donated his country with loyalty and wiseness. You should cherish this loyal and wise reputation, abide by etiquette, live in filial piety, and respect your widowed mother. Even if you are sent by your elders, you cannot be contrary to human nature. You have been staying in Xunyang for a while. I will send someone to your hometown later. Do not wander around and cause insults."

When he talked about this, Zhou Fu's expression was already quite unhappy. Tao Hong had already told him some of the purpose of this, but in Zhou Fu's opinion, Tao Kan's plan was simply absurd, old and confused, and could no longer see his duty.

It is true that the two families of Tao were in-laws in Zhou and Tao Kan is now in charge of the Grand Marshal and is the leader of Fang Bo. But in fact, Zhou Fu did not like Tao Kan much. One reason was that if his father Zhou Fang was still there, his position might not be inferior to Tao Kan. The other was that the Tao family was too bad, and the sons were rude and rude, and the voices were full of evil. This even affected the Zhou family, which made Zhou Fu quite ashamed of his in-laws in the past year.

Hearing Zhou Fu's words, he had already insulted his father and grew up, Tao Hong felt a little angry. He straightened his body in the table and said in a deep voice: "I cannot agree with this uncle's words! In the world of shamanism, there is still loyalty and righteousness. If you are anxious about the king and worry about the people, there has always been a ritual of sages to seize love, which will not harm human ethics. Back then, my father did not stand up and behead him, and he was ordered to protect the king's way, and no one can defeat him! Now my father sent me to the same love, and people cannot ignore it!"

When Zhou Fu heard Tao Hong's rebuttal, his expression became a little unnatural and even a little ridiculed. He wanted to ask what kind of virtuous Tao Hong was and what kind of national benefits he had. However, after thinking about it, he was still because of the face of his dead brother-in-law and no longer got entangled with this younger generation.

After pondering for a while, he sighed: "Maybe my uncle's words are wrong, but Dachang, you have not experienced enough experience and really don't know how dangerous the world is. You may not be afraid of material discussions and work hard for family affairs, but others may not be able to remember your mind. Now that you have lost your parents, you should be more cautious in everything, remember that your orphan is pitiful, and don't lose your own self-conspiracy."

Hearing Zhou Fu's words, Tao Hong's expression was a little dim. He understood that his uncle was reminding him that his family was now competing for fierceness. In order to inherit the grand title of his father, several uncles had already broken up. As a junior, he should indeed keep a low profile at such a moment and not be too active to avoid arousing hostility from those uncles.

"My uncle is sincere in making plans for me, and I can't sit still and see you in a dangerous place..."

After a while of silence, Tao Hongcai tried his best to persuade him again.

"Why am I at risk?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fu couldn't help but chuckled and said to Tao Hong: "I have my own way to establish myself. Dachang, you don't have to believe others' dangerous words and make me worryless."

"I hope I am too confused, but my uncle knows that Guo Mo has been beheaded by the crime?"

"What? Where did you know about Dachang? Are you cheating on me?"

When Zhou Fu heard this, his face suddenly changed and he almost jumped up from the seat. He stared at Tao Hong with his eyes tightly, trying to find some guilty lying on his face.

Tao Hong looked calm and said in a deep voice: "How dare I deceive my uncle in this kind of thing! Taichung decided that the court officer sent someone to the town to surrender Guo Mo to the capital for his crime. Wang Chuming immediately wrote a letter to chase him. Guo Mo was desperate and fled to Jiangbei. When he arrived in Liyang, his whereabouts were exposed. He was killed by Yu Yuzhou. This matter is conclusive, and I think my uncle will be able to get the news soon. At this point, does the uncle still think he is in a good place?"

When Zhou Fu heard this, his face became a little gloomy. Tao Hong said so in detail that he no longer doubted the authenticity of this matter, but his mood was even more turbulent. As an important border defense in Jiangzhou, he had such a big incident in the treatment, but he got the letter later than Tao Hong, an outsider! After further thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart!

Seeing that his uncle's expression was changing, Tao Hong was shocked and suspicious, and felt a little unbearable in his heart. He whispered: "Uncle, you serve others with sincerity, and people may not treat you with this affection!"

"Don't say it again!"

Zhou Fu glared and roared, but his mood was still extremely disordered. He got the letter late, which means Yu Zhang was suspicious and wary of him and blocked the news. Tao Hong got the letter early, which means that Jingzhou had a better channel than he had guessed!

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Fu said in a stern voice: "Guo Mo is a thief with a very fierce attitude. He is a dead end. There is no need to be surprised if he has such an end. But how can I discuss this with this thief? I am the Taibao sent me to stay in Xunyang. How dare Wang Chuming harm me easily? There is no reason, there is no need..."

This is his confidence. Although he is nominally a subordinate of Wang Shu, he actually belongs to Wang Taibao. Wang Taibao was worried about the tense relationship between Jingjiang, so he chose him to stay in Xunyang, with the purpose of ease the relationship between the two families. Wang Shu really had no reason to deal with him. One was not enough to improve the situation in Jiangzhou, and the other had to worry about Taibao's idea.

"At this point, my uncle still has fantasies about Wang Chuming? What kind of temperament is this person? Don't my uncle know? In order to be able to return to the good place, even the closest relatives in blood can harm him, so how can he love the public well!"

Seeing that Zhou Fu was still lucky, Tao Hong persuaded him again: "Although I am short-lived, I can see that my uncle is in a bad situation. Why should I deceive myself? According to common sense, perhaps the captain of my uncle may be on the road..."

"shut up!"

Zhou Fu suddenly stood up, his face turned pale, pointed at Tao Hong and roared: "I have no guilt in my heart, so why should I be afraid of harming me! On the contrary, you, Dachang, your relatives sent you here to be here, and they were deliberately harming me! I miss you Nian Qian, and you orphan mother with no help... Forget it, you leave now and leave immediately! If you still force yourself to stay in this state, don't blame me for not missing the old love!"

After saying that, he paused to the outsider and never looked at Tao Hong again.

"Why do you have to stop yourself? Good fortune and good fortune can be seen in an instant. I really don't want to see my uncle take risks..."

Seeing this, Tao Hong quickly got up and chased after him, and was about to feel bad again, but he was stopped in the room by Zhou Fu's personal soldiers.

After leaving the manor, Zhou Fu's face did not improve. He pondered for a while before calling his confidant and whispered: "Send someone to guard this place and don't let anyone go in and out!"

When he returned to the county government, Zhou Fu was still in a state of uneasy. What Tao Hong said before always echoed in his ears. After a little weighing, he still called his confidants to send them out and quickly inquire about information from all parties.

Another day passed, the people who went out to inquire about the news came back one after another, and the information they brought back was much more detailed than what Tao Hong said. Many information was displayed on the case, which made Zhou Fu unable to help but gasp. Unlike Wang Shu who was still suspected that someone was planning to target Jiangzhou, because of Tao Hong's arrival, Zhou Fu could already confirm that there were layers of clouds piled up and gathering above Jiangzhou.

However, this foresight cannot make Zhou Fu feel better, nor can he dispel the fog lingering in his heart, so that he can understand how he should make a choice.

He always felt that Tao Kan was just a delusion, and even if he added Yuzhou, he would never easily overthrow Jiangzhou. In previous years, he also caused rebellion by Wang Dun. After the failure, he was trapped in the Barbarians and hid. Later, he was given the use of Wang Taibao. Not only did he blame him for the previous crime, but he could also take over the county again. It was precisely because of this experience that he felt how tenacious the Wang family of Langya was, and it was definitely not that Tao Kan, who was fortunate to enter here, could match it!

However, these judgments were not enough to make him feel at ease. Because the final result of Wang Shu in this contest actually had nothing to do with him. Whether he wanted to obliterate this conflict or be able to survive as safely as before was still between the two!

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Fu spread the paper scroll and wrote a quick letter. A letter was written in an instant. He was about to be sealed and sent to Jiankang quickly, but a strong sense of anxiety arose in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he couldn't make a decision. Finally, he put the letter in his arms in his arms, and said sadly: "It's a pity, it's a pity Tao Daozhen..."
