Guangling County Taishou Zhenrong is a Danyang person, known for his good charity; After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he gathered nearly 1,000 Ding Zhuang to defect to Tao Qian, a fellow county man who served as the assassin of Xuzhou, Tao Qian respected his name, made Ren Pi Xiang, and was later appointed as the Taishou of Guangling County, who trusted him very much and fully supported him.

Faced with the tragic situation of Guangling County after being plundered, he asked for a large amount of money and grain from Tao Qian to stabilize the place, and in order to be safe and resist Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, he asked Tao Qian for a large amount of money and grain to form an army.

Tao Qian unconditionally agreed to Zhenrong's application, and let Zhenrong preside over the restoration and reconstruction of Guangling County, appease the people, and stabilize the place.

However, Zhen Rong did not use the money and food to do serious things, but used it for the Buddhist cause he believed in.

Rong spent a huge amount of money to build the Futu Temple in Guangling City, the Futu Temple was built in the south of Guangling City, there is a tower in the temple, there is a gold plate on it, there is a heavy building under it, the tower is nine layers of octagonal, each layer has cornices, each side is inlaid with copper realm, there is also a copper mirror facing the sky at the top of the tower, called "Nine Mirror Tower"; Around the pavilion can accommodate more than 3,000 people to read Buddhist scriptures in the classroom, the Buddha statue is painted with gold and draped in a brocade robe; When you go to the bathing Buddha meeting, you will set up a table on the side of the road for dozens of miles, and you can eat and drink wine and rice; There are as many as 10,000 people who come to visit and worship the Buddha. It can be seen that the luxury of the arrangement, the grandeur of the scene, and the majesty of the momentum are rare in the world

The various Buddhist deeds done by Zhen Rong have inadvertently become brilliant achievements in the history of the development of Chinese Buddhism. The Buddhist shrine and stupa he built became the basic tower type of the early pagoda in our country with the structure of "the upper accumulation of gold plates, and the lower is the heavy building", and the form of this Buddhist temple layout basically continued to later generations. The gold statue of the Buddha in the shrine is also the earliest record of the casting of the Buddha statue in our country. In addition, the people who accepted Buddhism in the territory were exempted from the forced labor and taxes of Buddhist believers, which inadvertently led to the development and prosperity of Guangling County.

is also a native of Danyang, Tao Qian's mansion has an inside line that is bought by Zhenrong, and although he can't know everything about Tao Qian's actions, he can still learn about important events as soon as possible.

The changes in the counties of Xiapi did not attract Yuan Shu's attention, but they attracted the attention of Zhen Rong, who was close at hand.

Li Zhen, Lu Su and others recruited troops and horses, and stationed a large number of Qingzhou cavalry and infantry in the five counties, which could not but make Zhenrong pay attention.

Soon, in contact with the information from Xiapi City, Zhen Rong first guessed that the assassin Shi Taoqian had defected to Qingzhou, and hoped to use the power of Qingzhou to defend Xuzhou and expel him from Guangling County.

He never thought that Tao Qian didn't know what he was doing in Guangling County, and he could tolerate him.

The cunning Rong immediately began to plan the way back.

He doesn't think that he can rely on the strength of a county to resist the strong army of Qingzhou, if he doesn't run now, when will he wait?

The first thing that came to mind was Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, followed by Danyang County Taishou Xue Li.

Now he doesn't dare to take refuge directly with Liu Xuan, because he has withheld a large amount of Tao Qian's materials to support Liu Xuan, if Liu Xuan knows, he will definitely not spare him; Now he is not sure whether Liu Miao doesn't know, or if he knows but is restrained, if the latter, then he will be caught in the net by taking refuge in the past.

If you take refuge in Danyang County Taishou Xue Li, there is a great possibility that you will be courteous; First of all, they were both Tao Qian's subordinates, but they were all abandoned by Tao Qian, and one day in the future, they will seek revenge from Tao Qian; Secondly, Di Rong is a native of Danyang County, and has a high reputation in Danyang County, and now Xue Li's control of Danyang County is still unstable, and he needs the support of a prestigious local like him; The most important thing is that he feels that with his strength, he will live better and develop better in his hometown.

As for the other options, it is Jingzhou Liu Biao again, Jingzhou is stable, and Liu Biao reuses the local big family, which is not the best choice for outsiders like him; Finally, Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu has a high reputation, but now he only occupies the territory of two counties, and is threatened by Yuzhou in the north and Jingzhou in the west, and the relationship with Tao Qian in Xuzhou and Liu Miao in Jiangdong in Yangzhou is not good, and he is not optimistic about these four wars.

After thinking about it again, he decided to take refuge in Danyang County, so he immediately sent someone to Danyang County to contact the refuge matter.

During this period, he could not be sloppy, and first sent a large number of scouts to the five counties south of the Huai River to spy on intelligence.

Secondly, in the selection of the army, it is necessary to be strong, single people are preferred, and loyalty to him is the first priority.

Thirdly, organize ships to prepare for the escape, and when the time comes, even if you can't take refuge in Xue Li, it will be more convenient to take refuge in Liu Biao or Yuan Shu, and walk from the water; Southern Zeguo, the water network is dense, and close to the sea and the Yangtze River, there are many ships, and there are more people who are familiar with the water, which creates convenient conditions for Zhenrong to collect ships, but he needs to transport too many materials and personnel, and he feels that he is not able to use many ships, and the ships in several counties along the river are basically all collected by him.

In the end, what he values is money, and money and food are the material guarantees for his rise again; He not only demanded a large amount of money, food, farm tools, and daily necessities from Tao Qian, but also deducted many materials from Liu Qian, as well as the taxes of Guangling County last year, and a large amount of wealth donated by believers, which were important to him, and he had to transport them all away so that he could rise in a different place.

Not only does he want to take away all his wealth now, but also in the name of Taishou, he has arrested the heads and descendants of several major families in the city, planted charges, tortured him severely, and extorted a lot of money.

Guangling City was not affected by Sun Jian's plunder, and several major families were still rich, and this time it was a complete Zhenrong and made him a fortune.

As for his followers, they can only be determined according to the future situation, and those who can be taken away will be taken away, and those who cannot be taken away will not be too late to come back when he has a place to stay.

Soon, the scouts who went to the five counties sent back the news, confirming Zhenrong's suspicions.

There are a large number of Qingzhou cavalry and infantry stationed in Xuyi County, and just by listening to the accent, you can know that these officers and soldiers are not from Xuzhou.

The officers of the government and the army are all northerners, and they are rich and rich, and the soldiers are treated very highly, which is not the treatment of the officers and soldiers of Xuzhou at all; In addition, the cavalry's war horses are tall, and the gap between them and the war horses of the Central Plains cavalry is too big, and the cavalry is even more fierce and must not fight against them.

The five county governments recruited a large number of people to quell the rebellion and bandits, this is not Tao Qian's style, you must know that this requires a lot of money and food, even if Tao Qian does it, then Tao Qian will definitely not support him like last year, and it is the most correct choice to evacuate now.

Zhen Rong secretly calculated, fortunately he found Tao Qian's cat in advance, otherwise he was still in the dark, so he stepped up preparations for evacuation, and strictly ordered the scouts who went to the five counties to pay close attention to the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and if there was a slight change, he would report immediately, so he had to prepare early.

For more than a month, the personnel who went to Danyang County to contact Xue Li returned victoriously, and Xue Li, the Taishou of Danyang County, welcomed Zhenrong's refuge very much.

Xue Li hoped to use Zhenrong's prestige and power to help him strengthen his control over Danyang County, and the two sides would benefit from each other.

He planned that as long as he had not torn his face with Tao Qian and had not been noticed by the Qingzhou soldiers, he would pretend not to know and rush to transport as many materials and people as possible from Guangling County.

You must know that the south is still relatively backward, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is a very important resource.

A large number of ships transported money and food, soldiers left, and the intelligence officers lurking in Guangling City soon spied on the news, and Taishou Zhirong wanted to run; The intelligence officers did not dare to be careless, and immediately notified Li Zhen as quickly as possible.

At this time, Li Zhen and others had just received Tao Qian's letter of appointment and were negotiating with everyone to prepare to take over Guangling County.

Knowing what Taishou Zhenrong had done, everyone was furious.
