Chapter 181: Heading South to Find Someone
The lights kept flickering, listening to Zhang Zhao's report on what had happened in Pengcheng these days, Tao Ying became more and more happy! At this time, Tai Shici was an unknown young general, but Tao Ying, who crossed over, was worthy of him as a talent who could let himself go south to meet in person!
So when Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Tao Ying nodded and said, "Very good, I'll leave to see him tomorrow!" β
After Tao Ying finished speaking, the people next to him were stunned. Zhang Zhao said beside him: "Lord, this matter must not be done!" The lord is a daughter, how can he go to the wild land of the south? What's more, if it is a great talent, the lord will go, just an unknown young general, the lord surrendered to him, it is really a great favor to him, he is not satisfied, and let the lord go to see him in person, it is ridiculous! β
Zhang Zhao objected, and Kong Rong next to him also persuaded him: "Lord, the three-year filial piety period is not yet complete, if you go out again, I am afraid that I will violate the ancestral system and make people all over the world laugh!" β
So many people were against Tao Ying, and Sun Shao next to him saw Tao Ying's unhappy face, he knew that Tao Ying must have calculated that it was a talent, otherwise Tao Ying would not know his name. Since it is a talent, it can't be wasted, because the talent doesn't need to be forgotten, if you wander to the opponent, it is simply shooting yourself in the foot!
Therefore, Sun Shao said beside him: "No, I don't think so." The lord's visit this time can better reflect the lord's thirst for talent. If this good name spreads, why should the lord worry that people of insight in the world will not come to take refuge? β
After Sun Shao finished speaking, Tao Ying nodded, sure enough, he is worthy of being the prime minister of his own person, this look, this sycophant, the shooting is very good, is there any!
Moreover, Tao Ying also felt that it was very necessary to go south this time, because there are many naval talents in the south, and if he wants to form a naval fleet in the north, he must have a lot of people who are familiar with water, and these are only suitable to go to the Yangtze River to find them.
After Sun Shao finished speaking, before others could speak, Tao Ying stood up and said, "Lord Sun is reasonable, so let's do it, don't say much." Now that the north has entered a period of peace, I want to look to the south, what do you suggest? β
Tao Ying said his thoughts, and seeing that Tao Ying had already decided, Zhang Zhao knew that it was impossible to persuade him to come back, so he had to say next to him: "Now that the north has just stabilized, it still needs heavy troops, and it is really not easy to transfer people and horses to the south!" β
Zhang Zhao was very reluctant to Tao Ying to lead the military horse south, because in his eyes, only by chasing the Central Plains could he achieve hegemony! Everything else is crooked, so Zhang Zhao has repeatedly stopped it. Although Zhang Zhao stopped him, Cao Chun, who was injured next to him, said: "If the lord insists on going south, his subordinates have a suggestion!" β
As soon as Cao Chun spoke, Tao Ying loved to listen very much. Regarding the war, Zhang Zhao's strategy was far less than Cao Chun's. But in terms of governing internal affairs, Cao Chun is far inferior to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, both of whom were important ministers of Eastern Wu back then!
"What's the plan, just say it!"
"My lord, if you want to focus on the south, the north must have important ministers. Southern Guangling Taishou Zang Ba is the lord's old minister, I have fought with Zang Ba a few times, I know that this person has a good command of the army, now the north has just been decided, and the strong people around him are like clouds, only Guangling Taishou is transferred to Shanyang County Taishou, and Shanyang County Taishou can be transferred to Guangling! β
Cao Chun followed Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou twice, and he fought against Zang Ba a lot, so Cao Chun knew that this Taishan boss was powerful, but fortunately he was on the same front as him now, so he was a little lucky.
At the mention of Zang Ba, Tao Ying nodded. That's right, he knows Zang Ba's ability, otherwise he wouldn't dare to appoint him to the post of Guangling Taishou.
I heard that Guangling Taishou was going to be transferred to the north, and some people around him objected.
When Kong Rong was in Qingzhou, he heard that Zang Ba was aggressive, so he was busy persuading him: "My lord, don't let Zang Ba go north." Zang Ba is aggressive, but the north is at the junction of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, if Zang Ba and Lu Bu fight, they can only lose both, and Cao Cao is cheapened in vain. β
Kong Rong was the first to object, and the others followed. What Wenchen liked most was peace, because they were in charge of Pengcheng's development, Pengcheng's treasury, money and food. The last thing they want is to fight, and when they do, they consume the most money and food.
And this is what the entire Han Dynasty lacks the most, not to mention that Tao Ying also invested a lot of money in the construction of various schools, and this cost is undoubtedly huge.
When it came to Lu Bu, Tao Ying remembered that this guy had recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses to entrench in the Lu country, and he had to eat his own food every day, and he didn't work for himself, so he thought about expanding his strength every day, so when he thought of Tao Ying, the first white-eyed wolf in the Three Kingdoms, he panicked.
"Lord, this matter is easy to solve!"
Seeing that there were objections again, Sun Shao next to him hurriedly followed suit. Tao should pay special attention to him, which is why Sun Shao is willing to work hard.
"What's the best idea?"
Tao Ying asked rhetorically, it seems that he brought him and Cao Chun here to get something from Zhang Zhao's group of "pickers"!
"Lord, my subordinates have a plan to drive away tigers and wolves!"
When it came to driving tigers and chasing wolves, Tao Ying's heart lit up, did he want Lu Bu to deal with Yuan Shu? Cao Cao is the best at using this trick, and in history, the reason why Xuzhou was broken by Cao Cao was, to a large extent, because Cao Cao used this trick.
Tao Ying asked Sun Shao to talk about what is the strategy of chasing the tiger and the wolf, and Sun Shao told the story. It turned out that since Lu Bu was already a threat, letting him stay in Lu would cause a lot of trouble. For example, if he takes advantage of the weakness of Northern Xuzhou, if he annexes Northern Xuzhou, then others will not scold Lu Bu, but everyone will come to scold Tao Ying for his unscrupulousness, because Lu Bu at this time is Tao Ying's subordinate, so what he does is what Tao Ying does!
Therefore, at this time, the best way is to transfer Lu Bu to Peiguo, which is in the hands of Huainan. Now Tao Ying is nominally the owner of Peiguo, but all he owns is the land in the north of Peiguo. LΓΌ Qian is now the minister of Peiguo, but he also occupies the land north of Xiangxian, and the land to the south belongs to Yuan Shu.
At this time, only one order was needed, so that Zhang Liao was stationed in Lu State, and Lu Bu led troops to be stationed in the south of Pei State to effectively restrain Yuan Shu. If Lu Bu listens to the order, it will be fine, if he does not obey the order, he can explain one thing to the world, that is, you are optimistic, Lu Bu is not under my control, and if he causes trouble in the future, don't rely on me!
The strategy of killing two birds with one stone, Tao Ying is very satisfied. Not only Tao Ying, but even the chief minister Zhang Zhao couldn't help but nodded. Lu Bu, this guy urging food every day also gives him a headache, let him go to the south of Peiguo to fetch food by himself, but it will reduce the pressure on Peng Cheng, although Lu Bu went here, it is possible to continue to increase his strength, and it is also possible to betray Peng Cheng and go to Yuan Shu, but there is still a way to solve it.
