Chapter 36: Tao Qian's Decision

Three days later, Danyang.

Danyang County belongs to the territory of Sun Jian of Eastern Wu, and this Danyang County is Tao Qian's ancestral land. And because this Danyang is not far from the territory of the Shanyue people, from time to time there are Shanyue people who go down the mountain as a disaster, so Sun Jian of Eastern Wu does not have a great control over this place.

Cao Cao once said: "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers." ”

It is precisely this sentence that made Danyang a place for the recruitment of major warlords during the Three Kingdoms period, and Danyang's elite soldiers can also be said to be famous all over the world.

Sun Jian's eyes were on the Central Plains, so he did not clean up the Shanyue people in the territory. However, the local Han people naturally could not let the Shanyue people bully, so the local Haoqiang spontaneously formed a force and recruited young people to resist Shanyue.

It is said that Tao Qian led 3,000 henchmen and soldiers back to Danyang, and was immediately treated as a guest by the local county order. Without him, just because Tao Qian's 3,000 henchmen are all elite soldiers, and they are well-armored regular troops.

To say that Tao Qian is really aware of current affairs, he knows that although he can be a nominal Xuzhou pastor if he stays in Xuzhou, he also puts himself in the center of the whirlpool. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and even the younger Yuan Shu, no matter who they are, they can crush him.

Although this Danyang is small, he has money and food here, and he has soldiers in his hands, and his life is comfortable and worry-free.

However, Tao Qian wanted to avoid trouble, but trouble came to his door.

What people of Tao Qian's age are most afraid of, what they are most afraid of is that the evening festival is not guaranteed. Jian Yong is a lobbyist, and what he is good at is this way of vertical and horizontal sophistry. Therefore, the grasp of people's hearts is extremely accurate.

It was Tao Qian's psychology that was grasped, so Jian Yong came to Tao Qian, it was a swagger, and he did not hide his whereabouts.

Danyang County is not big, and for a while, almost the entire Danyang knew that Jian Yong had come to Danyang and asked Tao Qian for help.

Danyang County, Tao Qian's Mansion.

After returning to Danyang, Tao Qian had no worries, and his health was better in Xuzhou, and he happened to be basking in the sun in the backyard garden today.

"Kick, kick, kick." The pottery merchant ran in from outside in a hurry, and said in the ear of his father Tao Qian: "Dad, Jian Yong has come to Danyang?" ”

"What?" Tao Qian stood up suddenly.

These days, Xuzhou City was deceived by Li Chen, and Cao Pi's two attacks were defeated, including Liu Bei's request to go down to Pi, and Tao Qian knew about it.

However, this is a matter that does not matter to Tao Qian. When he left, he handed over Xuzhou to Mi Zhu, and for Tao Qian, I gave it, whether you Liu Bei has the ability to take it is your own business. But Tao Qian never imagined that Jian Yong would actually come to Danyang.

The pottery merchant immediately muttered in his father's ear, telling Liu Bei about the defeat and capture, including the battle between the three heroes under the city of Xuzhou and Yuwen Chengdu.

The more Tao Qian listened, the more frightened he felt, and his face became clearer and clearer. Although he was old, he could guess Jian Yong's intentions.

Tao Qiantie blushed, and said word by word: "He Jian Yong deliberately made a statement, this is my army." ”

"Dad, we have given Xuzhou to them, and now Liu Bei himself has been defeated and captured, and he has a relationship with us." The potter said angrily, obviously not wanting to wade into the troubled waters.

Tao Qian's face changed and changed, and he gave up Xuzhou in order to stay away from the center of the turmoil. If he didn't have to, he would never want to wade into the troubled waters of Xuzhou. But at this time, because of Xuzhou, Jian Yong came to the door again, and if he didn't help, he would not be able to protect the night.

When a person is about to die, the most important thing is the name of the posthumous body. No one wants to be spurned like Zhang Rang and Dong Zhuo.

Speaking of which, Tao Qian still cherishes feathers.

If it is Cao Mengde, who would rather be responsible for the world than for the world, he will inevitably say that he loves him, what does Liu Xuande have to do with me, what does it have to do with me, Cao Mengde.

"Shang'er, how many newly recruited mansion diners are there?" Tao Qian looked at his son and asked.

The potter pondered for a moment and replied, "At present, more than five hundred people have been recruited, and our business has not yet been rolled out, so it is enough for the time being." ”

"Business can be done slowly, and the money is something that you can't bring in life or die."

"Shang'er, you go and call Cao Bao." Tao Qian commanded.

After a while, he saw the potter lead a rough man to see Tao Qian.

"My lord." Seeing Tao Qian, Cao Bao hurriedly bowed his hand.

Cao Bao is Tao Qian's absolute confidant, which can be seen from Tao Qian's departure from Xuzhou, in addition to his own family, only brought Cao Bao as an outsider.

"Cao Bao, you are a general on the battlefield. has not yet become famous, and it is really humiliating to be a domestic servant with me in this small Danyang. I intend to let you lead 3,000 elite soldiers back to help Liu Xuande, and after rescuing Liu Xuande, you can seek refuge with your own master. These 3,000 elite soldiers are compared to a promotion gift. Tao Qian looked at Cao Bao and said with blazing eyes.

When Cao Bao heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The lord and Cao Bao have the grace of acquaintance, how can Cao Bao betray the lord."

When Tao Qian heard this, he hurriedly said: "This is what I asked you to go, what kind of betrayal." ”

Cao Bao also understood that Tao Qian had made up his mind, so he simply didn't shirk it, just waited for his hand to respond: "I am the one who is the lord, since the lord has made a decision, I should only act with respect." ”

"You can rest assured, the old and young in the family urinate in Danyang. If I Tao Qian eat a bite of meat, I won't let Cao Bao's wife and children drink soup. Tao Qian patted Cao Bao's shoulder and said.

"No, Cao Bao is outside, and he will definitely not lose the face of the lord." Cao Bao said.

On Jian Yong's side, he did not visit Tao Qian for the first time when he came to Danyang, but first visited some local celebrities, and then intentionally or unintentionally said the purpose of the trip. 、

Jian Yong put Tao Qian on the fire, and Tao Qian naturally had a way to deal with it.

Before Jian Yong could go to Tao Qian's mansion, the pottery merchant came to the door first.

At noon, Jian Yong had just returned to the inn from going out when he saw that the potter was already waiting for him with Cao Bao.

"Brother Kenhe." Seeing Jian Yong, the potter hurriedly bowed his hand.

Seeing that the pottery merchant Jian Yong hurriedly greeted him, he asked with concern: "Ling Zun's health has been much better." ”

The pottery merchant replied: "After not worrying about Xuzhou government affairs, my father's body has indeed increased a lot. ”

After some politeness, the potter said straight to the point: "My father already knows about the matter in Xuzhou, and this matter started because of Xuzhou, so my father will naturally not sit idly by." ”

"When my Tao moved back to Danyang from Xuzhou, General Cao led 3,000 elite soldiers to escort him. Today, my father entrusted me to hand over General Cao and 3,000 elite soldiers to Brother Xianhe. ”

The Tao merchant's words have been made clear, my Tao family will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, now you can go, don't come to disturb my stable life.

Jian Yong's purpose is to ask for help, and now that the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to entangle. hurriedly thanked him: "Ling Zun is righteous, I thank my lord in advance." ”
