Chapter Ninety-Two: The Humiliation of Shiting Town
rushed to Shiting Town, looking at the original barren land, a small village and town were suddenly built, which made Cao Cao have to sigh! Where is this thing here to fight, I'm afraid God didn't send him down to engage in real estate! Is he going to use real estate to rule the Han economy?
Tao Ying himself is personally the supervisor of Shiting Town, which is located fifty miles south of Huben City, and the people have already fled. The house built was built without the people coming to rely on, only Tao Ying lived in it stupidly every day. If it weren't for the ban on obstruction, Tao Ying would have been eager to let all the 50,000 troops build houses in this generation.
Anyway, they eat their own food and their own salaries, and they don't know how much it will cost them this year, so they have to pay less.
Hearing that Cao Cao was coming, Tao Ying hurriedly took the drawings and walked out of Shiting Town to greet Cao Cao. After riding a horse for fifty miles, Cao Cao looked tired when he jumped off his horse. It was already ten o'clock at noon, Tao Ying had people prepare a banquet in the village, and Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan entered the village together.
In the village, Tao Ying was covered with dust, and Cao Cao almost didn't recognize him. Instead, Tao Ying trotted all the way and shouted at Cao Cao: ", did you send your son?" ”
Looking at the person who greeted him, and after carefully looking at it for a long time, Cao Cao saw that it was Tao Ying. Cao Cao asked with some curiosity: Why is Childe covered in mud? Why was the village built here? ”
Tao Ying took Cao Cao's hand and said, "Gong Cao, what do you think of my newly planned new city?" I plan to build a tourist attraction here in these ten days. When the time comes, my Xuzhou will be strong, and the people will be rich, how about I collect tickets here to make money? ”
At the mention of money, Cao Cao smiled: "Sone is not a person who lacks money!" ”
Tao Ying nodded, it seems that he is really not short of money, the money looted from Guangling Zhenrong, the money looted from the wealthy families in Xiapi, and then the money looted by Cao Cao in Xuzhou twice, plus the war compensation from Yanzhou and the return of the donation of the Pengcheng Wang clan, it seems that suddenly, Pengcheng occupies one percent of the property of the Han Dynasty.
"I'm not short of money, but I need money for a big construction! After Cao Gong retreats from Lu Bu, you can go to my Pengcheng City, where it is like a paradise on earth, and Cao Gong will definitely open his eyes! ”
Tao Ying boasted to himself, and Cao Cao could only smile and say: "Go when you have time, I have something to discuss with you today, Son." My son is already on his way to Lanling, can I lead the troops back to Yanzhou first? ”
It is not the first time that Cao Cao has asked to go back to Yanzhou, Tao Ying sighed and said: "I have to stop you from going back to Yanzhou, but you have broken your trust with me several times, I need to beware of you deceiving me again, an honest person!" ”
Cao Cao persuaded again: "If I don't return to Yanzhou, Lu Bu will definitely drive me out of Yanzhou after Yanzhou stabilizes, and the land promised to Gongzi in Yanzhou, Gongzi doesn't want it!" ”
Tao Ying turned his head and thought about it, too!
But let him go like this, wouldn't he be very faceless, a gentleman must be true to his word, otherwise how different is he from Cao Mengde? Thinking of this, Tao Ying pointed to the village he built and said, "Then since this is the case, Duke Cao needs to promise me one thing." ”
"What?"
Cao Cao was a little curious, did he want to let himself cede the land and pay compensation? At the end of the Han Dynasty, everyone relied on their own force to fight for territory, but Tao Ying was the first weirdo he met, and instead of fighting for land, he demanded war reparations from himself that he had never heard of!
"There is nothing else to do, Cao Gong will definitely be able to do it! I want to build a small town here, named Shiting Town, I hope that Cao Gong will inscribe a word with me! ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, he smiled, and when Cao Cao saw Tao Ying sinister smile, he felt goosebumps in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of moth this ghost had hit!
But now that people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? Cao Cao could only nod, Tao Ying asked someone to fetch the ink treasure, and then brought a very smooth stone. But after thinking about it, what if Cao Cao called one day and destroyed this place?
Turning his head and thinking about it, Tao Ying asked people to fetch the paper again, and then asked Cao Cao to write two copies. The first was written on paper, the second on stone, and the paper was brought back to Pengcheng, where the stone was inlaid in the city gate. Cao Cao waved his pen in one fell swoop, and Tao Ying led him to the stone pavilion again.
The stone pavilion in the village has been renovated, Tao Ying pointed to the stone pavilion and said, "Gong Cao, in order to charge, there must be some gimmicks!" Cao Gong wrote here 'Mengde Surrender Place', yes, it is written here. ”
Cao Cao held the pen in his hand and refused to move the pen for a long time. Tao Ying looked up at him, and Cao Cao's face turned pale. Looking at Cao Cao's angry expression, Tao Ying said again: "Cao Gong, you are a person who understands the overall situation, I will let you go first after I finish writing, and then I will withdraw after the two sons come!" ”
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, waved his hand and wrote: "Mengde surrenders." Then he signed his name, and Tao Ying asked Cao Cao to inscribe a line for himself, and Tao Ying helped him think of it, that is, "A gentleman should be true to his word, otherwise what is the difference between him and Cao Mengde?" ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan behind Cao Cao angrily pulled out his waist knife and hacked Tao Ying to death, Cao Cao threw the brush in his hand on the ground and shouted: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated!" Childe don't want to be strong, Childe is not afraid that he will calm Yanzhou, and then wave troops to Pengcheng, and write this sentence to you on the wall of Pengcheng? ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Tao Ying smiled instead: "Dare to be a true hero, but the alliance between Cao Gong and me in Yishui has gone back on its word." Now he has sent troops to trouble the people of Xuzhou, is this not a man of his word? Cao Gong displaced millions of Xuzhou people with his own selfishness, and hundreds of thousands of people died tragically. It's really a butcher, and so is a Cao butcher! ”
After Tao Ying finished roaring, he heard Tao Ying's shout, and nearly a hundred soldiers in charge of patrolling next to him hurriedly gathered. The hundreds of soldiers who rushed in in an instant quickly surrounded Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao.
The soldiers aimed their spears and broadswords at Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao, and Zhao Yun also pointed their guns at Xiahou Yuan. Cao Cao saw that he was surrounded, although his face was ugly, but he still knew that now was the time for the enemy to be strong and I was weak, not the time to be strong!
What Tao Ying has to do is to defeat him, defeat Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart, and let Yanzhou see Xuzhou again, and he feels inferior to Xuzhou from the bottom of his heart. Only in this way will Yanzhou be afraid of Xuzhou, only fear can respect Xuzhou, and only in this way can the people of Xuzhou no longer be harmed by Cao Bing!
Cao Cao stared at Tao Ying with a pair of angry eyes, and Tao Ying also stared at him and said, "Now I am strong, you are weak, you will listen to me." You have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people in your hands, and if I don't kill you, it's already a great mercy. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, if you hit me Pengcheng, I guess you won't let me inscribe and humiliate me, you will only destroy my nine clans, won't you? ”
The two sides held each other for a long time, and I didn't want Cao Cao to suddenly laugh: "Childe's words are very true, I hope that in the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he walked to the stone pavilion, waved his hand and wrote on it: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten, a gentleman should not learn from Cao Mengde!" ”
Cao Cao threw the pen on the ground after the inscription and said: "Gongzi will leave here, I will lead the troops back to Yanzhou for the time being, and Pi'er and Zhi'er will definitely be delivered!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the outside of Shiting Town.
Xiahou Yuan also snorted and followed Cao Cao, and Tao Ying instructed the soldiers next to him: "Go and let the marshal hand over the grain and grass to Cao Cao, and then transport all the money back to Pengcheng." Tao Yingxu asked the craftsman to dismantle all the stone pavilions with Cao Cao's inscription, and then move them to Pengcheng as a memorial.
