After kidnapping Xu Sheng, the first barely famous accomplice and lackey, and returning to Xuzhou City, the first thing Tao Ying did was to tell Tao Qian what happened to Ming Kaiyang and his party, as well as the answers given by Zang Ba, and then Tao Ying

The answer is to exchange the third key, and at the same time request orders from Tao Qian, and prepare to lead the Gentleman Army, which now barely exceeds 800, to march south to harvest the heads of Xuzhou's number one traitor, Zuo Rong.

Out of habit, Tao Ying didn't think too much when asking for orders. He thought Tao Qian would agree to his request without blinking an eyelid like before. However, what surprised Tao Ying was that Tao Qian did this.

Once he actually refused and angrily said: "No! Ying'er, are you stupid again and planning to go to Guangling to die in vain?"

"Father, do you really distrust the child?" Tao Ying asked with a wry smile: "The child has just asked for orders to go on an expedition. Why does the father conclude that the child's expedition south to Guangling is in vain?"

"You only have 800 cavalry. Do you know how many troops and horses Zuo Rong has?" Tao Qian said angrily: "You still have the nerve to always say that knowing yourself and your enemy will never end a hundred battles. You don't even know how many men, horses, money and food Zhe Rong has, and you just...

Dare you lead a mere eight hundred people to attack him?!"

"Father is wrong, and the soldiers and horses of Zuo Rong's son know it." Tao Ying put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "When the traitor Zuo Rong went south to Guangling, he brought an army from Xiapi, more than 10,000 civilians, and 3,000 horses.

Later, Zuo Rong's son used a trick to kill Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, and recruited Zhao Yu's 3,000 dismounted infantry and nearly 2,000 naval troops. Recently, Zuo Rong's traitor was afraid that his father would send troops to conquer, so he frantically expanded his army to prepare for war, and received about 5,000 more troops.

People, Zuo Rong's current troops in Guangling County are conservatively estimated to be more than 16,000, including at least 4,000 cavalry."

"Knowing that you are going to die?" Tao Qian scolded: "Zuo Rong, a child, betrayed his master and was ungrateful. He killed his father's officials without permission and occupied his father's land. Do you think that your father would not want to conquer him? But now we have soldiers and horses in Xuzhou

, including your 800 gentlemen's army, the total strength has not exceeded 15,000. We have to protect the local prefectures and counties, and also prevent foreign enemies from entering the bandit. There is no spare power to conquer Zhe Rong's son, so the father has to swallow his anger.

Sit back and watch him show off his power in Guangling and poison all living beings! You led an army of 800 gentlemen to go south to conquer him, what if you didn't die in vain?"

"Father, soldiers are more valuable than elites. Generals are more valuable than bravery." Tao Ying said with a smile: "Ze Rong's son, although there are many soldiers and horses, they are mostly a mob. The soldiers are not unified and their morale is low. They are like a pile of scattered sand.

In particular, the old Guangling soldiers recruited by Zuo Rong's son were very similar to Zuo Rong. They were only forced to surrender to the thieves because of Zuo Rong's lustful power and the threat of Cao's thieves. If Zuo Rong was defeated, these Xuzhou old soldiers would inevitably turn against each other.

Become a support to our army."

"There are also the five thousand new soldiers recruited by Zuo Rong's son. Those are roosters, dogs and thieves who have never seen blood at all. They are just greedy for Zuo Rong's money, food and cloth, so they joined Zuo Rong's army. At most, they can only play a supporting role.

, move food and fodder and build a camp for the child Zuo Rong. Once he arrives at the battle, he will definitely be confused and unable to find the north. Not to mention it poses a threat to the child. If he goes to the battlefield and does not hold back the child Zuo Rong, then the child Zuo Rong can be high.

Let’s sing Amitabha.”

Speaking of this, Tao Ying paused and then concluded: "So Ha'er believes that when Ha'er goes south to conquer Zuo Rong Xiao'er, the only enemies he actually has to deal with are the approximately 5,000 troops that Zuo Rong Xiao'er brought to Guangling from Xiapi

, as long as the direct lineage of Zuo Rong is defeated, the rest of the army will definitely surrender without a fight. At the same time, although these five thousand troops are the confidants of Zuo Rong's son who fed him with money, food and property, they are all old Xuzhou troops who have been favored by their father for a long time, and they are with them.

Zhe Rong's child may not be able to work together, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It will not be difficult for the child's self-confidence to be broken."

"War on paper! War on paper!" Tao Ying had already analyzed the situation to this point. Tao Qian still refused to let go. He just slapped the case and scolded: "Does my son have to imitate Zhao Kuo? What a rabble, what military morale is not unified, it's all empty talk.

!Ze Rong's soldiers and horses have never seen blood, how can it be that your gentlemen's army has seen blood?"

"Back to father, Jun Zijun has seen blood, and more than once." Tao Ying's calm answer surprised Tao Qian.

"Huh?" Tao Qian was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean by this? Why can't my father understand you?"

"On June 18th, Hai'er led an army of 400 gentlemen, marched 230 miles in one day, penetrated deep into the territory of Yuzhou, and attacked at night the Yellow Turban bandits He Yibu who were entrenched in the east and west of Yuzhou City." Tao Ying recited slowly.

: "Beheaded He Yi's general Zhang Rui, killed more than 600 thieves, captured fifty-two war horses, countless money and grain, and retreated to Wuxian County within one day. During this period, only one soldier of Haier's Junzi Army was killed.

, wounding ten people.”

"On June 25th, Hai'er and his third brother led another 400 gentlemen's troops, marched 210 miles in one day, went deep into Chenguo County, Yuzhou, and attacked the Huangshao tribe of Yellow Turban thieves entrenched in Laixiang, Ku County. Because the soldiers touched the sentry

Inadvertently, he was noticed by the Yellow Turban bandits. The bandits led about 4,000 soldiers to fight. The children fought and retreated. About 600 bandits were killed, forcing the bandit soldiers to flee and captured several weapons and flags. Two officers of the Gentleman Army were killed and twelve wounded.

people."

"On the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Hai'er and his third brother once again led an army of 500 gentlemen to go out. They marched for more than 140 miles in seven hours and went deep into the south of Qilu County in Xiapi County. They raided the bandit Huang Yuanhu's tribe entrenched in the Lingbi area and killed them.

Huang Yuanhu's leader was killed, and all 391 of his men were wiped out. None of the thieves escaped. Sixteen war horses were captured, and countless money and food were captured! No one in the boy's gentleman army was killed, and only two people were slightly injured."

"Were you the one who wiped out that group of bandits?" Tao Qian stood up in surprise, glared at his son and said, "Why did Xiapi Guards General Xu Dan report that he was the one who wiped out the bandits?"

Tao Ying smiled, and Cao Hong next to him also laughed. He stepped forward and clasped his fists to Tao Qian and said, "Please forgive me, my lord, for worrying about bandits. I have the audacity to deceive you. In fact, worrying about bandits is really true."

It was the Second Young Master who killed it with his own hands, but the Second Young Master was afraid of arousing the enemy and exposing the gentleman's army, so he ordered the general to give the credit to General Xu Dan, and General Xu Dan was greedy for the Lord's reward, so he took away the Young Master's great achievements!"

Tao Qian's eyes widened and he looked at his son in disbelief. After a long time, he asked in great surprise: "My son, are you trying to trick me as a father? You can attack more than two hundred people in one day."

Is there still room left to fight?"

"The child dare not deceive his father. What the child said is all true. If the father does not believe it, the child's severed head and the captured flags and armor are all hidden in Wu County. The father can send people to check at any time." Tao Yingxiao

He was even more proud and said: "As for the reason why the child can run for hundreds of miles and still have enough strength to fight, these are all due to the so-called bad horses, the Xiongnu horses. The Xiongnu horses are not good at charging, but they are best at long-distance attacks, let alone mere

For more than 200 miles, even if we attack for 300 miles, the Huns' horses will still be able to fight."

Tao Qian was completely shocked. It was not that Tao Qian had never been in battle, nor did he understand military affairs. But just because Tao Qian had been in battle and had pretty good military experience, Tao Qian found it even more incredible.

, marched more than 200 miles in one day, and still had enough energy to challenge an enemy several times his own, and defeat them in further battles. Not only had Tao Qian never seen such an army, he had never even heard of it!

"Father, please let me go." Tao Ying struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly begged: "My child has thought about it again and again. The three battles the Junzi Army fought before were all just minor battles. They are in urgent need of a decent training.

The opponent comes to hone and train him. Zuo Rong has many soldiers and horses, so he is an ideal training target. If the child can defeat him in one battle, not only can the important town of Guangling, which is rich in money and food, be recovered for his father, but the child's army of gentlemen can also take advantage of the opportunity.

Accumulating experience in fighting large corps will be conducive to the rapid growth and expansion of the Junzi Army."

Tao Qian still didn't speak. After a long time, Tao Qian sat down again, stared at Tao Ying and said: "My son, as a father, I believe that your three battles are true, but Zuo Rong is no better than He Yi, Huang Shao

Those rabble. Most of the troops under Zuo Rong are old officers and soldiers who have been trained by the army. They are experienced and equipped. Their strength is ten or twenty times more than yours. You lead 800 people to conquer him. Really?

Aren’t you afraid of hitting an egg against a stone?”

"Father, you are telling the truth." Tao Ying said with an arrogant smile: "The person who is throwing eggs at stones is not the child, but the child Zuo Rong! The only thing that the child is worried about now is that the child Zao Rong does not dare to go out of the city to fight with the child, and the city is closed to defend.

, then the child will have to use a lot of his hands and feet. But it doesn’t matter even if the child Zuo Rong can’t defend, the child has a weapon specially used to attack the city, and he can use Zuo Rong to practice his skills.”

Tao Qian finally had no choice but to deal with his son's arrogance. After thinking for a moment, Tao Qian finally said: "Well, my father agrees to your southern expedition, but my father has one condition, that is, you must live.

When you come back, if the war situation is unfavorable, you must flee back immediately. You can't be greedy for success, let alone die for your country! If you come back alive, you can start all over again. If unfortunately you die in battle, not only will you not have the chance to start over again, but your father will also inherit the future.

There is no one left.”

"About this point, I'm even more reassured, father." Tao Ying laughed heartlessly, "The Junzi Army trained by the boy may have insufficient combat effectiveness, but when it comes to the ability to escape and escape, the Junzi Army

Although he claims to be the second best in the world, no one dares to claim to be the best in the world! Even the big-eared thief, a master of life-saving on the battlefield, will definitely have to surrender when he encounters our gentleman army."

"My son, where do you get such confidence?" Tao Qian shook his head and sighed. After thinking about it for a while, Tao Qian said: "Well, since my son insists on going, my father will also give you a chance to show off your talents.

If you have the opportunity, my father will send Zhang Jie and Lu You to lead five thousand troops to follow you south to attack the traitor Zuo Rong."

"There is no need for my father to send more troops. In addition, it is enough to give the child a thousand infantry." Tao Ying said easily: "Not to mention that our Xuzhou army has precious troops now and cannot send too many troops south. Even if they go, they will only

It will hold the child back, but it will make the child restrained."

"Nonsense! Arrogant kid!" Tao Qian couldn't bear to scold him, "Eight hundred cavalry and a thousand infantry are going to fight 16,000 enemies, and you still take the initiative to attack and attack the city. Do you think you will come back to life in vain? Jiang Ziya

Reincarnation?"

"You are really right, I am really reincarnated and possessed." Tao Ying muttered in his heart, and then said helplessly: "Father, we really don't need so many soldiers and horses. Now our Xuzhou energy is seriously damaged, and we have no money and food."

With the shortage and the burden of supporting the big-eared thief, money, food and military resources are increasingly stretched, and the child really can't bear to add another burden to his father."

"This is a war, not a life at home. We need to be careful about money and food!" Tao Qian refused to give in, and scolded: "Besides, this is your first time on the battlefield, your first time fighting such a large-scale war, not many

How can my father dare to rest assured that a veteran who is older than the army will accompany you on the expedition? In short, if you insist on taking only 800 gentlemen on the southern expedition, then my father will take back what I just said and you will not be allowed to go on the expedition!"

"You really shouldn't discuss it with the old man." Tao Ying muttered in his heart again, and at the same time he had to make concessions and said helplessly: "Well, let's ask the father to send a veteran general to lead the army to accompany the child on the expedition, but there is really no need.

Five thousand troops and one thousand infantry are enough. They don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, escort the children in battle, transport grain and grass, and clean the battlefield. It's useless to send more."

"I really don't know where you are so confident." Tao Qian sighed, and had no choice but to give in, "Two thousand cavalry. My father sent Zhang Jiao to lead two thousand cavalry to accompany you on your southern expedition. No more fighting. Zhang.

He lied to us that he is from Danyang, and he has accompanied Cao Bao in battles for many years. With him here, your safety is somewhat guaranteed."

"Two thousand is two thousand." Tao Ying was even more helpless and hurriedly said: "But the child wants the right to command. General Zhang Jie must obey the child's command and cannot restrict the child."

"It's up to you." Tao Qian couldn't resist his beloved son, so he had to sigh and agree, and then ordered: "As I said again, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. I want you to come back alive for your father."

……………………

Tao Ying thought Tao Qian was holding back too many troops, but the unlucky General Zhang Lie didn't think so. That evening, after Tao Qian summoned Zhang Lie to issue an order, General Zhang Lie's first reaction was to jump up and kill a pig.

He screamed: "My lord, kill the general now and let him lead two thousand soldiers and horses to accompany the second son on his southern expedition to conquer the Zuorong dog bandits, who have almost twenty thousand troops! We also need to attack Guangling Jiancheng!"

Even if the general has the power to reach heaven and earth, he still can't do it!"

"It's not your fault that we can't defeat you. You're just a second-in-command, fighting under the command of that bitch of mine. No matter how miserable the defeat is, that bitch of mine will bear all the blame." Tao Qian said with a straight face: "I only have one task for you.

You, that is, to protect Ying'er's safe return. As long as Ying'er can come back alive, you will have lost all 2,000 soldiers and 800 gentlemen, and I will also mark your great merit!"

"In that case, I will obey your order." Zhang Lie breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart that this is more or less the same. Two thousand troops to protect the second young master alone should be absolutely enough, but I, the lord, do love his second young master very much.

Are you willing to waste so much money and food for the Second Young Master? It seems that I have to seize the opportunity of this southern expedition and try to build a good relationship with the Second Young Master.

No matter how secretive Deputy Director Tao's actions were, such a big move as the southern expedition against Zuorong was bound to be impossible to hide from everyone's eyes and ears. That's why the next morning, Deputy Director Tao was preparing to lead an army of 2,800 to conquer Guangling.

The news spread all of a sudden in Xuzhou city.

Hearing the news, brother Mi Zhu and Mi Biejia burst into tears of course. Mi Fang, who had always disliked Tao Ying, laughed happily and said happily: "Hahahahaha...! Okay, okay! Tao Ying is like this!"

We can save a lot of effort without overestimating our own capabilities. Zee Rong, Zee Rong, although you and I have always been at odds with each other, but this time, I really wish you a victory and kill Tao Ying's son to pieces.
