Although the words of Di Rong's subordinates were very demoralizing, for Zhen Rong, at this moment, his soldiers and horses had no morale to talk about.

The subordinates are right, the urgency of delay is to run!

Zhen Rong was supported by his subordinates on his horse, and under the protection of a group of guards, he fled to the west of Xiapi City in a daze.

As for the life and death of those soldiers and horses in the south of the city, Zhenrong has no scruples now.

What could be more important than one's own life in these times of crisis?

……

Zhen Rong fled to the west of the city in a panic, and along the way, what caught his eye was the heartbreaking scene that Xiapi City presented because of the melee.

Not long ago, a grand bathing ceremony was held here, and it was as quiet and peaceful as Xiaoxitian.

But at this moment, inside and outside the city, monks and nuns are running everywhere, and the people are wandering around.

The earthen platforms, shelves, ritual utensils, and food were messed up, and the city was full of debris, and as far as the eye could see, there was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

A good bathing Buddha meeting, but because of the sudden arrival of the Jinling army, it turned into a hellish banquet where the two armies fought.

Zhenrong's eyes were full of tears, and Yang Tian sighed: "The surname Tao is too deep!" This cause and effect, the Buddha will figure it out with you sooner or later! ”

Under the protection of several bald guards, he was rushing in a panic when he suddenly heard the sound of horses chattering in front of him, and the sand and dust also sounded with the sound.

Passing through the chaotic crowd, Zhen Rong saw a burly man with a stiff beard leading troops to block his way.

The big man raised the long knife in his hand, and he shouted at the group of Zhenrong: "Which of you is the anti-thief Zhenrong? ”

Zhen Rong couldn't help but be furious when he heard this-which one didn't have a tutor to talk like that?

"What a thief! I'm Buddha! ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Tai and the others were already rushing towards him like hungry wolves.

Zhou Tai was earnest, and he didn't care whether the people who were running back and forth between him and Zhenrong were innocent people, in short, the leader of the water thieves would cut people when he saw them, and those who blocked him would die.

And the guards around him were also merciless.

The lieutenants and soldiers under the command of Zhen Rong had no morale, and their fighting spirit was seriously insufficient, so they were scattered and fled by Zhou Tai and others like scattering wild dogs.

Seeking to survive, no one in the monk army cared about the life and death of their Buddha.

Zhou Tai himself galloped wildly, galloping towards Zhen Rong with a grim smile on his face, and the big knife in his hand looked extremely bright and cold in the sun.

For a moment, it was as if I had an epiphany!

He clasped his palms together, a wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he let out a long sigh helplessly:

"Amitayus, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell...... Fuck. ”

When the words fell, Zhou Tai had already rushed to Zhenrong's horse, and the war knife in his hand swung down hard.

In an instant, I saw that the big round and bright bald head of Zhenrong fell from his neck and rolled on the ground with a "gurgling".

The blood formed a curtain of blood in the air.

This time, he can be regarded as completely going to the west.

The three southern counties of Xuzhou have been pacified.

……

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Tao Qian, who received the letter from the pottery businessman, unconsciously trembled a little with his hands.

The old man could not restrain the tremor himself—because he was too excited.

For many years, the two scourges of Zhenrong and Zang Ba, the two major scourges in the south and the north, are like two sharp axes hanging in the air in Xuzhou, which can fall on his neck at any time, making Tao Qian unpleasant and unable to sleep at night.

But in less than a few months, these two thorns that had been stuck in Tao Qian's heart for many years had been pulled out by the potters with a gesture - and the Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County, which had not been taxed to Xuzhou for many years, were all recovered for themselves.

And according to the statement on the Tao Shang letter, Wu Jun is too conservative to the constitution, and because of physical reasons, he is ready to take the blame and return to his hometown.

The position of Wu County Taishou was vacant, and it was temporarily managed by a potter.

Out of thin air, three more counties became the Tao family's rear supply place for money and grain taxes!

Winning the lottery is nothing more than that.

You must know that over the years, Tao Qian's own foundation is only three counties.

At once, the potter offered him three more.

Happiness came too suddenly, and Tao Qian felt like he was about to explode.

The kind that bumps and blows!

This feeling, I feel comfortable!

Tao Qian sat on the top seat, holding the silly music of Jian Mu.

Pei Guang, who was in charge of delivering news to Tao Qian, looked at the old man's appearance and was a little scared.

Why does Old Man Tao keep smirking and not talking? Looking at him like that, his saliva seems to be pouring out!

Isn't it over-excited, hallucinating, or demonic?

This disease is not easy to treat, Zhang Zhongjing has no recruitment!

"Envoy, envoy?" Pei Guang called in a low voice.

Tao Qian was called back to his senses by Pei Guang's call in an endless reverie.

The soul returns to its place in an instant.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you go? Tao Qian looked at Pei Guang suspiciously, and asked.

Pei Guang felt helpless in his heart, and I haven't moved anywhere.

"Hehe, that ......" Pei Guang helplessly arched his hand to Tao Qian: "You haven't said yet, when will you send a caring person to Xiapi Kingdom and Wu County to take office?" ”

Tao Qian patted his head vigorously when he heard this.

Patronized and happy, but didn't get down to business!

The Tao Shang sent Pei Guang this time, one was to report to Tao Qian on the happy event of recovering the three counties, and the other was to ask Tao Qian to decide on an important candidate who could serve as the Taishou of Wu County and the Minister of Xiapi.

After all, they are two large counties, and the appointment of personnel still needs to go through the process from Tao Qian's hands, which is both a kind of respect and a system.

Tao Qian touched Bai Huahua's beard and groaned for a moment, but finally sighed.

These people in Pengcheng really can't believe it.

Tao Qian said to Pei Guang: "You go back and tell Zidu, who should be the minister of Xiapi and the county guard of Wu County, let him decide, as for Zhao Yu of Guangling County, the old man will also write a letter to him when he turns around, so that from now on, he will obey Zidu's arrangement and dispatch - Xiapi Kingdom, Guangling County, Danyang County, Wu County...... Since then, in the four southern counties, he Tao Zidu has been the governor of the old man, telling Zidu not to disappoint the old man. ”

Listening to Tao Qian's words, even if Pei Guang was just a guard of the Tiger Guard, he couldn't help but smash his tongue in fright.

Old man Tao Qian has really made a lot of money!

He is currently in charge of the three counties of Pengchengguo, Donghai County, and Peiguo, but he has all the four southern counties to be the governor of the potter's place!?

In this way, the old man has handed over his entire rear to the potter.

What trust and courage this must be!

Thinking of this, Pei Guang's heart couldn't help but feel a little respect for Tao Qian.

Tao Yuanjun looked at an old person who spoke and did things slowly on weekdays, but at the critical moment, once a decision was made, his old man's performance was still very bold and heroic!

What is a father, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people!

Look at the Tao envoy, how domineering!

Pei Guang was in awe in his heart, and was about to accept it, but he heard Tao Qian add another sentence.

"Tell Zidu, in the land of the four counties, pay taxes and food to the old man on time every month and every quarter, and if you dare to have one less son, the old man will send troops to level his Jinling City!"

Pei Guang: "......"

It seems that this old man is not very courageous.

Like his own master, he still has a careful eye for the majority.

Thinking about the dead virtue of the potter, Pei Guang suddenly understood the source in his heart.

This is Suigen.

Pei Guang took the order to leave, and when he walked to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, he saw two middle-aged generals dressed as people who came to the Assassin's Mansion to meet Tao Qian.

At first glance, the two generals were outsiders, not natives of Xuzhou.

Pei Guang didn't know why, looking at those two people seemed to feel familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while.

But at the moment, it was still the business in his hands, Pei Guang didn't have time to think about what the two people came from, so he left in a hurry.

And after the two generals were summoned by Tao Qian, they entered the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion with the servants.

Seeing Tao Qian, the two saluted together and said respectfully.

"Bao Zhong (Bao Tao), I've seen Tao Yuanjun."
