After Tao Ying finished instructing, Chen Deng, who stayed behind, nodded, and also instructed Yan Ying. Let him take advantage of this winter to manage the people well, this is the most difficult year in Pengcheng, don't let the people freeze to death or starve to death in winter. When you have nothing to do, you have to go down and walk around, and if there is an incompetent official, you must depose him on the spot!

Yan Jian also said goodbye and left. Tao Ying shook the snowflakes on his body, looking at the crystal snowflakes floating in the sky, Tao Ying then remembered that it seemed that since he came back from the north, he had been busy with the transformation of Pengcheng, and he hadn't been to see Gan Girl for several months, so Tao Ying pushed open the door, asked the family to prepare a carriage, and drove towards Ganfu in the north of the city.

After coming to Pengcheng, it has been almost a year, and Ganfu has also moved several times in a year, and finally settled in the north of the city. In a courtyard in the north of the city, Miss Gan is sitting in the boudoir embroidering, outside is the whistling north, charcoal is burning in the house, and the courtyard is full of snow, which gives this small courtyard some poetry.

As soon as the carriage stopped in Ganfu, the family came to lead the horse, and Tao Ying got out of the carriage and walked to Ganfu. The old man Gan led the descendants of the Gan family to greet them, and their family was one of the few people who lived in Pengcheng without official status, so they were particularly cautious in dealing with the world, for fear that they would snub Tao Ying, and Tao Ying would expel their family from Pengcheng.

Tao Ying asked Master Gan to be busy with his own affairs, and went straight to Miss Gan. Stepping on the squeaky snowflakes, walking through an annex, the bamboo in the courtyard is still verdant, the snow is pressed on the bamboo leaves, and clusters of turquoise are dotted in the snow-white world.

Pushing open the door, a warm current in the house poured into front of her, Miss Gan was sitting in front of the embroidery in a daze, seeing Tao Ying coming, Miss Gan hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hand and stood up and saluted: "The concubine has seen the Prime Minister." ”

Miss Gan wore a light purple cotton dress, her fair skin was very cute, but the sadness on her face made people feel a little pity. Tao Ying found a stool to sit down on himself, and he didn't care about the reason that the boudoir couldn't come in, he didn't seem to have this concept in his mind at all.

Miss Gan went to the stove and made a cup of tea and sent it to Tao Ying, Tao Ying held the warm teacup, his hands were almost frozen.

"Have a cup of tea and warm up!"

Miss Gan said as she reached out to knock the snowflakes off Tao Ying's body, and then stood behind him and hammered his back. It seems that the two of them are like a couple who have known each other for a long time.

Tao Ying took a stool for her to sit down, Gan didn't dare to sit down, Tao Ying pulled her over and sat opposite him and said, "I have something to tell you today." Gan sat on the stool, but didn't dare to raise her head to look directly into Tao Ying's eyes, she was a little shy, completely lost the pungent energy when they first met, maybe this is what everyone usually looks like!

"Gongzi hasn't come to see the concubine for some days, and every time he comes to see the concubine, he wants to leave this Pengcheng, is the son going to lead the troops to fight again today?"

Miss Gan lowered her head, put her hands together, her voice was very small, every time she heard that Tao Ying was going to lead the troops to the battle, her heart was very disturbed, she was worried that Tao Ying would never return.

Tao Ying nodded, as if he thought that this was really the case, and every time he came to visit her when he was about to leave Pengcheng. However, this year, for Pengcheng, which is like a ruin, Tao Ying has too many things to do. He also wanted to visit Gan often, but every time he was busy after a day, he was tired, and he only wanted to visit her when he came back to eat the snacks sent by Gan Girl, but it was late, and he was afraid of gossip if he went to Gan's mansion.

"Yes, this time I'm going out for a while, but it's not going to war, I'm going to Tanxian to mourn."

Tao Ying suddenly felt a little sorry for the Gan girl in front of him, and when he brought her from Xiapi, he promised her that he would definitely marry her, but after so many wars, the matter of marrying a wife was also delayed. After driving away the Cao thief, his power became bigger and bigger, he offended some powerful people, and he wanted to propose marriage, but at this time, Tao Qian did not agree to marry her as the daughter of a businessman.

But Miss Gan refused to be a concubine, not to mention that Guangling Taishou wanted to be a matchmaker with her, so she didn't have the urge to marry in the past.

So this delay, now it is impossible to marry her, Tao Qian died, he had to keep filial piety for three years, and it was impossible to marry a wife and concubine within three years.

I heard that I was going to Tan County, and Miss Gan remembered the recent ups and downs in Xuzhou, so Miss Gan persuaded Tao Yinglai: "Childe, this time I went to Tan County, although there is no danger of conquering Yanzhou, but Childe should also pay attention to safety." The concubine is in Pengcheng, don't worry about the son. ”

Tao Ying nodded, and the two of them talked for a long time by the fire, until it was almost dark, and Tao Ying resigned. Back at Taofu, Zhao Yun had already rushed back, and the family had packed up all their things, waiting for tomorrow's departure.

In December, Xuzhou experienced a big war, and people were panicked. Now that the Xuzhou Thorn has died, it seems that the lake that has just calmed down has been thrown into a stone, and the water waves are about to start rippling again.

After nearly half a month's trek, Tao Ying led nearly 100 soldiers and horses through Wuyuan and then arrived at Shiting Town, Shiting Town has gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and the army is stationed outside Shiting Town waiting for Tao Ying's demolition.

At this time in Tan County, the pottery merchant was guarding in front of Tao Qian's mourning hall, his eyes were swollen from crying, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others were busy dealing with the aftermath, and Tan County was in a state of grief.

After Tao Qian died, he talked to Jian Yong for half a night, and then wrote a suicide note, which is now hidden in Jian Yong's home, and after Jian Yong discussed with several other people, he decided to let Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiapi State, also come to Tan County to discuss Xuzhou affairs. After staying in Shiting Town for two days, Tao Ying decided to go to Tan County to guard filial piety.

The time soon came to 195 AD, and the Han Dynasty would be even more turbulent this year, and Tao Ying's heart was also nervous. The team of more than 100 people set off from Shiting Town, and it took two days to arrive at Tan County, looking at some tall city walls in Tan County from a distance, and the city walls were full of white flags.

The soldiers defending the city also stood in plain clothes and shivered in the cold wind, the snow stopped, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the snow, coupled with the bare branches, made people's hearts a little cold.

Getting closer and closer to Tan County, suddenly a small soldier came to report that there was another soldier in the south, Tao Ying asked what banner to play, and the little soldier said that he was playing the banner of Liu Zi. Tao Ying thought about it, and it must be needless to say that it must be Liu Bei, the minister of the lower Pi State. He doesn't guard the soil in Xiapi, what is he doing here?

Lord Assassin Shi died, and it stands to reason that these county magistrates must be present, but there is one exception for one county, that is, Guangling, which is controlled by Zang Ba, the boss of the Taishan Gang.

Hearing that there was a soldier and horse in front of him, Liu Bei rode faster, and the three brothers led a team of nearly 1,000 people and soon caught up with Tao Ying, who was walking slowly.

Seeing that the person who came was indeed Liu Bei, Tao Ying also stopped his horse and waited for him. This Liu Bei is a little hateful, and he is also a competitor for his own assassins, but I have to say that with the arrival of Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he will still become a lot stronger!

Outside the city of Tanxian City, seeing the arrival of a pottery banner, the soldiers in the city hurriedly opened the city gate, Tao Ying led the troops to the city gate, Liu Bei also caught up. Hearing Liu Bei's shout from afar, Tao Ying turned his head and saw Liu Bei coming from a fast horse, Tao Ying hurriedly dismounted to greet him.

Now they all have the same official ranks, but today they are the master and he is the guest, so they must not be neglected. Tao Ying dismounted, and Liu Bei was also busy leading the two brothers all the way.

"Childe, mourning and change!"

Liu Bei was the first to be the first to be the head, and Tao Ying also hurriedly returned the gift. Seeing Zhao Yun behind Tao Ying, Zhang Fei snorted, this kid is really a blessing to himself, if he doesn't drive him away, where will he be reused by the second son, let alone climb the big tree of the second son who is in power in Xuzhou!
