In Xuzhou, which was shrouded in the clouds of defeat, only one night passed, and on the second day, a victory letter exaggerated to the point that even Tao Ying was a little embarrassed was placed on the case of the Assassin's Mansion.

Opening the letter written by Tao Ying himself, which was a little crooked and full of typos, Mi Zhu frowned while reading, and smiled again after a while, Tao Qian leaned on the head of the bed and listened with his eyes closed, except for Mi Zhu reading the letter with a good voice, everyone else was silent.

"My father was on top, and my son led the troops to meet the Yanzhou general on the side of the Surabaya River, and led nearly 10,000 soldiers in the ban, and the battle of the Surabaya River was very tragic and sacrificed a lot, although the son was finally defeated by luck, but the soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the father allocated another 2,000 elite soldiers to continue the Northern Expedition."

In addition to publicizing his achievements, at the end, Tao Ying wrote again that he asked Tao Qian to send Zang Ba and others to his tent to listen to it. Xuzhou defeated Yanzhou famous generals twice in a row, and the news suddenly exploded in Xuzhou like a thunderbolt in the clear sky! The more bizarre the folk spread, there was a storyteller who said that the battle by the Surabaya River was the first to enter the enemy formation, and the two knives in his body were still unharmed, and the tears of excitement of the people in Xiapi flowed.

Only Tao Ying himself knows that the so-called Surabaya War is forbidden, but Tao Ying sent a stack of paper to Yu Ban across the Surabaya River, and by the way, he gave him a hexagram and promoted a product.

When the whole Xiapi was discussing the great hero Tao Ying, in the corner that no one knew, --- Laifu Inn, Miss Gan was leaning against the bamboo window, looking at the crowded street. She is a person who envies heroes, although she is resourceful, but she is a daughter. After living in the Rifle Inn for so long, she began to feel homesick, but her hometown Xiaopei was already Cao Cao's territory.

Hearing the story of Tao Ying's bloody battle, Miss Gan remembered the white scholar in the past. It looks like a scoundrel, so notorious and polite to himself, but when he says that he is notorious, he doesn't move himself, but lets so many people escort him back to the inn, and the more he thinks about it, the more he remembers his face and lingers in his mind.

The people of Xiapi were immersed in the joy of victory, but they did not want to sleep in the warm sun with nothing to do by thousands of soldiers and horses by the Surabaya River. It has been two days since they crossed Surabaya, and Tao Ying originally thought that Xu Sheng had captured Pengcheng, but there was no news so far.

Tao Ying was nibbling on the leg of mutton at the corner of his mouth, thinking about whether he was right to fake the war report like this? But this is not fake, after all, he really repelled Cao Chun, although in the real sense, Cao Chun was inexplicably scared away.

What about Yu Ban, Yu Ban retired by himself, so it's not wrong to say that he was repelled!

Just as Tao Ying was thinking about it, suddenly several fast horses came from the north bank of the Surabaya River, and when they arrived at the river, those people got off their horses and rowed to this side of the river in small boats.

When the man came to Tao Ying's side, he realized that it was the herald he had sent out. The herald knelt down with a happy face and said, "General Qiqi, great joy, great joy!" ”

When it came to the big event, Tao Ying thought that Xu Sheng had broken through Pengcheng!

"What's the joy, what's the joy?"

"Lord Thorn Shi's illness has improved a lot, and Lord Thorn Shi has sent two thousand soldiers and horses to support the general!"

Tao Ying just sighed, obviously without extra joy, looked up at the two strangers who followed the herald, Tao Ying asked a little boredly, "Who are you two?" Why does it look so strange? You can't be the 2,000 people my father sent to help me, you call it two, you call it a thousand, and it adds up to 2,000 people, right? ”

The two of them were obviously embarrassed on their faces, and one of them hurriedly took out a piece of exquisite silk and said with a smile on his face: "The second prince is laughing again, we are ordered to come, this is the appointment letter of Lord Assassin Shi!" ”

After the two finished speaking, just missing it, Tao Ying stood up and reached out to take the silk, the two looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, they knew at a glance that Tao Ying must have bullied them at ordinary times.

The adult in the civil official uniform coughed, and Tao Ying remembered that it seemed that this was going to kneel, so he returned the appointment letter to them and knelt down reluctantly.

"Assassin Shi Lord's order, Tao Ying is now appointed as the Taishou ...... of the East China Sea"

The person who came read it for a long time, and the person next to him hurriedly brought the plate over, Tao Ying kowtowed and hit the soil on his body, stood up and took the plate. Inside the plate is a large seal of the East China Sea Taishou, and there is a tiger talisman, which is to mobilize people and horses.

After receiving the letter of appointment, needless to say, this must have been done by Sun Gan's gang. Sealing yourself in the occupied territory to go to Taishou is really a double win!

Let the guards accept the big seal, the two civil officials still refused to leave, Tao Ying suddenly remembered that the ancients had to reward this kind of good news, so Tao Ying hurriedly took out some silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the sleeves of the two, the two said goodbye with a smile, and Tao Ying hurriedly asked the Huotou Army to lead them to dinner.

After another day of stationing by the Surabaya River, many generals persuaded Tao Ying to go to support Cao Bao in Tanxian County, but Tao Ying refused. He was now waiting for news, that is, the news that Xu Sheng had broken through Pengcheng. Tao Ying knew that Cao Bao and Liu Bei would hold Tan County, and they would hold it until next year when Cao Cao retreated.

And he came out not to save Tan County, but to develop his own power and expand his influence, so that he could make a career after Cao Cao retired from the army in the future. So what he is looking forward to most now is that Tao Qian can transfer Zang Ba to serve under his command, as long as Zang Ba is developed to himself, he can really have a general who can defend the territory.

Seeing that the days were passing day by day, when Tao Ying stayed by the Surabaya River until the fifth day, a cavalry detachment of about six people suddenly appeared from the northwest direction.

After the scouts got the news, they hurriedly came to tell Tao Ying, and Tao Ying hurriedly led the troops to greet him. The day he had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived, and the person who came was the cavalry sent by Xu Sheng, who had captured Pengcheng, so that Tao Ying could quickly lead his men and horses to support!

After getting the news, Tao Ying ordered the whole army to set off, plus the 2,000 soldiers and horses from the rear, Tao Ying now formed a team of nearly 6,000 people.

The team of more than 6,000 people said that they were leaving, and Tao Ying suddenly felt that something was wrong. Busy and let the army stop starting, and the army continued to rest in place.

Because when Tao Ying came to a dirt hillside in a carriage, he found cavalry wandering around not far away, and those cavalry were Cao Cao's reconnaissance team, and it was obvious that Cao Cao was monitoring his every move.

After coming to this world, Tao Ying knew that perhaps his lifelong opponent was the unattractive short Cao Cao. Cao Cao's shrewdness he can be regarded as having seen it, and the generals under him are also worthy of their reputations, if they really let themselves really fight him, they obviously can't beat him!

The army was delayed again, and it was getting dark, and the camp's bonfires were kindled again, and the bonfires seemed to be brighter than any other night, and the sky-high flames seemed to be eager for everyone to know.

The night seemed destined to be unusual, the stars were a little gray, there was no moon, and the pitch black night made the night seem a little eerie.

Ten miles outside Tan County, Cao Cao's camp is all over the wilderness, although Cao Cao claims to be the hero of the world, although he is bound to Xuzhou, but this time he really encountered a hard stubble.

It has been nearly a month since the attack on Tanxian, and the two sides have suffered damage to each other, but they just can't attack it. Liu Bei and Cao Bao guarded Tan County like an iron bucket, and they didn't bring all the soldiers and horses, on the one hand, they had to be careful of Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south.

Especially when he attacked Xuzhou too fiercely, Tao Qian Lao'er let out a word, whoever saved Xuzhou would send him 100,000 stone of grain. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the drought, it seemed that every prince was eyeing Xuzhou, and they were waiting for Cao Cao to quickly send troops to teach this little man how to behave once he lost.
