If conditions permit, Tao Ying really doesn't want to leave Guangling immediately. Jiangnan is so nice. The land is fertile and the beauties are like jade. The opponents are relatively weak. There are still a group of beauties such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao Sun Shangxiang who can chase and flirt with her.

He was tricked into covering his feet on the bed, and there were powerful people like Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Tai Shici who could be recruited and used as his subordinates. Deputy Director Tao did not want to leave from the bottom of his heart.

But it would be impossible not to evacuate. The main population and economy of Xuzhou are in the north, and the strategic center of gravity is also in the north. When internal and external troubles have not been eradicated, Tao Ying cannot stay in Guangling for a long time. So there is no other way.

, Deputy Director Tao had no choice but to forget his longing for his sweethearts such as Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang, etc., temporarily abandon the love between his children, and temporarily put aside his desire for the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River and a group of fierce men, and honestly led the gentleman

The army returned to Xuzhou to solve a host of internal and external problems.

Along with Tao Ying, Zang Ba's team also withdrew. Zang Ba's base camp was in Langya. The northern part of Xuzhou, which was severely weakened, also urgently needed Zang Ba, a brave and powerful division, to take charge, so after a trip south to Guangling, he

, Zang Ba still obliged to accompany Tao Ying to the north to solve the difficult and not difficult problems together. However, in this way, Zang Ba, who has a strong self-esteem, and Tao Ying, who has no sense of family status, naturally fell in love quickly on their way north together.

The relationship heats up, and the relationship quickly gets closer to the point where it's just a matter of killing the chicken and burning the yellow paper.

By the way, Lin Qing, who was disguised as a man, also returned to Xuzhou with the Junzi Army. However, this little girl was accompanied by a group of personal soldiers arranged by Zhang Xiao. She traveled by car along the way, hiding in the car during the day and hiding at night.

In the tent, Tao Ying was not given a chance to get close at all. Deputy Director Tao, who had long wanted to deal with this little girl strictly according to law, hated her tooth and nail, but there was nothing he could do.

After sleeping in the open air for more than a day, Junzi's army and Zang Ba's army first returned to Xiapi. When they set out, Xiapi guard Xu Dan, who had only made excuses with Tao Ying, heard the news and personally led Xiapi's civil and military officials thirty miles out of the city to greet Tao Ying.

The triumphant master. Faced with the arrogance of Xu Dan and others, Deputy Director Tao, who is very powerful in the city, will certainly not be stupid enough to laugh at Xu Dan and others for following the crowd. He will also be conciliatory and polite with Xu Dan and others.

At the same time, they inquired about Tao Qian's physical condition. When he learned that Tao Qian's condition had worsened, Tao Ying, who had some feelings for Tao Qian, this cheap dad, couldn't help but lose his temper.

"Master, why don't you leave first." Zang Ba saw Tao Ying's anxiety and said proactively: "Master's army of gentlemen is all cavalry, and they can return to Xuzhou in two days. The army of the last general is mostly infantry and can only

Slow down the pace of the young master, please go ahead first, the general will arrive soon."

Tao Ying was really worried about Tao Qian's condition. After a few polite words with Zang Ba, he decided to lead the army of gentlemen first and let Zang Ba come later. Then Tao Ying invited Lin Qing's little girl to go with him, but this little girl's arrogant temper

He had a seizure and refused to continue on the road with Tao Ying at any cost. He insisted on staying in Xiapi City to rest for a night before leaving. Tao Ying had no choice. He also saw that this little girl was very familiar with Xu Dan, and he also treated Xu Dan in the same way.

The uncle was satisfied, so he felt relieved, led the army of gentlemen, and set off first, rushing to Xuzhou. The little girl Lin Qing was left gnashing her teeth in the carriage, losing her temper, and complaining that Tao Ying had not invited her to accompany him again.

In fact, Zang Ba thought that it would take Tao Ying two days to cover the two hundred miles from Xiapi to Xuzhou. He underestimated the maneuver speed of the Junzi Army. After leaving the sight of the people of Xiapi, the officers and soldiers of the Junzi Army immediately all

He took off the cover rope, put on the wooden stirrups, and then changed horses all the way without changing people. It only took one day to easily reach the outskirts of Xuzhou. Then he put away the stirrups in a sparsely populated area and replaced them with ropes used to confuse outsiders.

After that, he remounted his horse and rushed to Xuzhou.

Here is a long-winded explanation of why Deputy Director Tao took so much trouble to change stirrups and sets. In Tao Ying's opinion, his Junzi Army will become famous all over the world sooner or later, and the secrets of the Junzi Army's cavalry and archery will definitely be discovered by the enemy in every possible way.

, although it is unlikely that this secret can be kept secret for a long time, in order to extend the confidentiality time as much as possible, Tao Ying racked his brains to design a substitute for rope stirrups. In this way, the enemy will no longer worry about the Junzi Army.

The secret of the stirrups also made it difficult for the enemy's cavalry to quickly imitate the tactics of the Junzi Army.

Because soft rope stirrups are not only difficult to stabilize the cavalry's figure for a long time, but are also very dangerous. Especially on the battlefield, once the cavalry falls off the horse and their ankles are entangled in the rope, it will be difficult to stand up quickly and move flexibly, and they may be killed.

The war horses were dragged to death, or even trampled to death! So Tao Ying extremely generously showed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu the rope stirrups, and issued a strict order to let the Junzi Army officers use rope stirrups in public, and wear safety ones when fighting alone.

An effective wooden stirrup is commendable for its ancient moral character and noble style.

After chatting for a long time, he got back to the point. After marching two hundred miles day and night, Tao Ying thought that no one would come to greet him. However, when he arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the east gate of Xuzhou, Tao Ying was extremely surprised to see,

Chen Gui and Chen Deng, the biggest local gangsters and big landowners in Xuzhou, had actually led a group of followers here to wait for their return. Seeing their flags, the Chen family's servants beat gongs and drums, fully prepared.

The drums and drums sounded in unison, welcoming him back in triumph.

"Young master has returned triumphantly. I and Quanzi congratulate you." Chen Gui led Chen Deng to greet him. He bowed to Tao Ying from a distance and said with a smile on his face: "In the battle of Guangling, the master used his troops like a god, and even defeated the strong.

It is really gratifying and congratulating that the enemy has not been defeated at all and has become a powerful force in the world."

"Master Yu of the Han Dynasty, Brother Yuanlong." Tao Ying quickly dismounted his horse, solemnly returned the gift, and said flattered: "Master Yu of the Han Dynasty and Brother Yuanlong personally came to welcome Shili. I really don't dare to accept it. I don't dare to accept it."

"Young master, you don't have to be modest. When you return in triumph, why don't you go out to welcome him in person?" Chen Gui rushed forward to help Tao Ying, then curiously pointed at Lu Su next to Tao Ying and asked, "Sir, don't be surprised.

, I didn’t see you when the young master set out, could it be that you are Mr. Tao’s new military advisor, Mr. Lu Su Lu Zijing, who is famous for his righteousness and wealth in Jiujiang? "

"That's right." Lu Su returned the courtesy respectfully and said politely: "I have admired the names of Han Yugong and Mr. Yuanlong for a long time, and I am very lucky to meet you today."

Chen Gui and Chen Deng hurriedly humbled themselves, while Tao Yingze asked curiously: "Han Yugong, brother Yuanlong, how did you know that I arrived in Xuzhou today? I didn't send an envoy to inform you of my whereabouts first?"

Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, looked at each other and smiled. Then Chen Deng raised his hands to Tao Ying and said, "Master, don't be surprised. My family has pigeon posts in the five counties of Xuzhou. After the master set off from Xiapi at noon yesterday, Chen Deng left Xiapi at noon."

The family then sent out homing pigeons to inform me of this matter. I also concluded that the young master is worried about my lord's condition and will go at full speed, so today..."

"Carrying pigeon post? It's really a local snake! Old fox!" Tao Ying muttered in his heart, but smiled on his face: "So that's it, the carrier pigeon contact is so convenient and fast. It seems that I should ask my father to establish a pigeon post in the five counties of Xuzhou. It is convenient.

Contact traffic information in emergencies.”

"Training pigeons is not easy, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to build the five-county pigeon post in a hurry." The old fox Chen Gui didn't even blink an eyelid and said proactively: "If you don't give up, I am willing to take over the five counties."

There are more than 300 carrier pigeons and 30 pigeon slaves to send them all off. I hope that the young master will not be too small and will not hesitate to reward you."

"In that case, I would like to thank Han Yugong and Brother Yuanlong." Tao Ying was overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked him. Chen Gui and his son helped Tao Ying together, held hands with Tao Ying and laughed. There were many words that could not be said, and everything was gone.

In silence, Lu Su, who heard Tao Ying talk about the situation of Chen Gui and his son, also laughed very happily, knowing that the old fox father and son finally understood the value of Tao Ying and began to invest huge sums of money in Tao Ying.

.

The relationship with Chen Gui and his son suddenly became closer. Then Tao Ying naturally had to return to the city side by side with Chen Gui and his son. They walked for three to five miles talking and laughing. After receiving the news, Cao Bao, Lu You, Qin Yihe

Xu Fang and other Xuzhou civil and military officials came to greet him one after another. They surrounded Tao Ying like stars holding the moon, completely forgetting their cynicism when Tao Ying went out for the expedition. They bowed and flattered Tao Ying.

Tao Ying's Guangling military exploits were praised to the heavens, and Tao Ying himself was praised as a god. Deputy Director Tao, who had been accustomed to similar scenes as early as the 21st century, dealt with it easily, chatting and laughing with these snobs as usual,

He also won a lot of praise and praise.

Of course, while talking with Xuzhou's civil and military officials, Tao Ying naturally had to take the opportunity to find an answer. Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk to Xuzhou's chief general Cao Bao, Tao Ying suddenly took Cao Bao's hand and asked: "Uncle Cao, your order

How is Qianjin doing lately? Is she still as naughty and naughty as before?"

"this……."

Cao Bao was a little confused by Tao Ying's meaningless question. He finally came to his senses. Just when Cao Bao, who was looking happy, was about to tell the truth, Tao Ji suddenly squeezed up and whispered: "Second brother, hurry up.

Look, brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are here too."

Tao Ying and Cao Bao turned around and saw that on the road in the distance, two brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, dressed in Xuzhou official uniforms, were indeed hurriedly walking towards this side. Even though they were more than ten feet away, Mi Zhu couldn't wait to hold his hands and shouted.

He said: "Congratulations to the young master on his triumphant return. Brother Mi Zhu is late, so I would like to ask the young master to take care of himself."

Mi Fang and Tao Ying have always been at odds with each other. The smile on their face was so fake that even Tao Ji, a stupid young man, could easily see it. She smiled reluctantly, and bowed to Tao Ji even more reluctantly. She was smiling but not smiling.

He said: "Congratulations to the young master on your triumphant victory. In the battle of Guangling, the young master used the troops like a god. It is really surprising."

Tao Ying smiled and was about to be hypocritically polite with the two fifth brothers. Tao Ji, who was next to him, said angrily: "Yes, my second brother and I defeated Zuo Rong and Sun Ce in Guangling, and we broke up with Yuan Shu.

The alliance has not yet died in battle, it must be a big surprise to Mi Biejia and Master Mi, and it is even more disappointing to you."

The lively scene just now suddenly became deserted. Tao Ying looked embarrassed and glared at Tao Ji. The smiles on the faces of brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang suddenly stiffened. All the Xuzhou civil and military officials present also quietly stood farther away from Mi Zhu brothers -

-Especially Xu Fang, a famous scholar in Xuzhou who once helped Mi Zhu brothers to instigate discord between Tao Shang and Tao Ying brothers, simply hid behind Chen Gui and his son and shrank his head. Almost everyone thought together: "This is the lesson.

Lesson learned from standing on the wrong team. Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to stand on the wrong team."

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Tao Ying glared at Tao Ji again, then turned around and said to Mi Zhu with a forced smile: "Don't drive, Mr. Mi, my third brother is just joking, you guys

Don’t mind it, it’s a joke, it’s just a joke.”

The scene was awkward. Deputy Director Tao, a talented student in the Performance Department of the Public Servant School, smiled reluctantly. You can imagine the bitterness of the smile on Mi Zhu's face. He nodded even more reluctantly and said: "Young master, don't worry, I also know that the third young master is joking.

Wouldn’t mind.”

"I didn't..." Tao Ji wanted to say that he was not joking, but luckily Lu Su was there to hold the stupid young man back. Tao Ying was also afraid that Tao Ji would say something uglier and push Mi Zhu brothers to death.

Gou jumped over the wall anxiously, and quickly offered his hand to Mi Zhu again, saying: "Biejia, I haven't seen my father for two months, and I miss you very much. Please stay with me, and I will visit you at Biejia's house another day."

Mi Zhu nodded in despair, and it took him a long time to realize what he was doing. He pulled Mi Fang aside to get out of the way, and let the Xuzhou civil and military officials surround Tao Ying like stars holding the moon as he walked past him. They walked into the city to meet Tao while talking and laughing.

Qian, there was only one thought left in his mind, "Why did I miss this second young master before? If I had known he had such talent and ability, how could I...? Sigh."

Unlike quietly sighing, Mi Fang's eyes were full of resentment. Mi Fang, who was at odds with Tao Ying, had never looked down upon Tao Ying. Now he would see Xuzhou's civil and military officials isolating his brother under the leadership of Tao Ying.

, Mi Fang's hatred and hatred for Tao Ying naturally reached its peak. So when Tao Ying and others had just walked away, when the Junzi Army was still lined up in front of Mi Zhu brothers, Mi Fang couldn't wait to nuzzle at the Junzi Army.

, whispered to Mi Zhu: "Brother, Xuande Gong hopes that we can find out how Tao Ying's children's Guangling battle was fought. How about we use the old method? Bribing a few hypocrites under Tao Ying's command to come over, we can do anything.

knew."

Mi Zhu lowered his head and did not answer, hesitating in his heart. He knows his brother better than his younger brother. Seeing Mi Zhu's expression, Mi Fang immediately understood that Mi Zhu had been shaken and hurriedly warned in a low voice: "Brother, we have no way back! Tao Ying and Tao Ji'er

Treating you and my brothers like this today proves that they have long regarded our brothers as enemies. If you and I don't strike first, we will die without a burial place in the future!"

Mi Zhu's body trembled, remembering what his brother had done to Tao Ying in the past, and also thinking of his brother's explicit stance in the past six months, and finally nodded and whispered: "Be careful, don't do it to me or my brother.

Honor acted directly and arranged for several strangers to contact the Junzi Army soldiers to inquire about the information Xuande needed. Furthermore, he wrote a letter about today's events and the news that Tao Ying's son had returned to Xuzhou, and sent a fast horse to Xuzhou.

De Gong sent it."

Mi Fang agreed, and her triangular eyes full of hatred quickly turned to the Junzi Army. She also quickly noticed the rope stirrups hanging on the Junzi Army's saddle, and she thought thoughtfully...

……………………

Not seeing each other for less than two months, Tao Qian's condition has indeed worsened a lot. It was only with the support of Tao Shang and Cao Hong that he finally came to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion to meet the brothers Tao Ying and Tao Ji who had returned in triumph.

When the group saw brothers Tao Ying and Tao Ji rushing to kneel and salute in front of them, Tao Qian's haggard and old face, which was full of illness, showed a smile of relief. While coughing and panting, he said with a difficult smile: "My dear nephew, Ying

Son, get up quickly, you played well in Guangling, I am very satisfied as a father, more than I imagined."

"Thank you for the compliment, father." Tao Yinglao thanked him politely and admitted his mistake honestly: "Father, don't blame me. After my son got the imperial seal from Sun Ce, he secretly handed it over to Yuan Shu without presenting it to his father, and entrusted Yuan Shu to take it.

It is said that the jade seal of the state has been returned to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The child is good at learning, and I ask his father to punish him."
