After arriving at Guangling City, Zang Ba, the Taishou of Guangling at this time, had already packed up his things and was waiting for the new Taishou Chen Deng to come to take office! Tao Ying's new letter of appointment has arrived in Guangling City, and it is written that Zang Ba, the Taishou of Guangling, will rush to Shanyang County to serve as the Taishou of Shanyang before May.

After hearing the news of Tao Ying's southward journey, Zang Ba sent people everywhere to inquire about Tao Ying's whereabouts, and the spies said back and forth that they came by water, so Zang Ba did not pay attention to the land route.

When Tao Ying rushed to the city, Guangling City was not very tall, and the soldiers in the city looked at Tao Ying and the others a little lazily. Tao Ying asked people to open the door, because the day was just dawn, and he was very tired after a night's journey, so Tao rushed into the city to rest.

But he didn't want the soldiers to be in the city, but he said: "It's not time to open the city gate yet, hurry back and wait!" ”

Zhao Yun broke open under the city and scolded: "Hurry up and ask you Taishou to come out to greet you, my eldest brother is here, and he is so rude, beware of your heads!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so arrogant, the soldier wanted to teach him a good lesson, but Zhuge Jin took out a piece of gold from his arms and threw it towards the city.

"Little brother, please go and tell Zang Taishou, just say that there is an old man to see!"

Zhuge Jin bowed to the city gate, and the originally angry city guard picked up the broken gold from the ground, bit it, and then shouted to the city with a smile on his face: "This is like words, or this little brother understands the rules!" ”

After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he asked people to tell Taishou Zangba. Tao Ying looked at Zhuge Jin here, he didn't expect that bribing this thing was so easy to use years ago, he really had money to make ghosts grind!

It's just a pity that I have my own waist card, if there is a waist card, I still need to bribe such a small official? Several people's waist cards fell into the Yangtze River, Tao Ying's was even more pitiful, in order to escape, he put it directly in his own room of the boat, and before he took it out, the boat sank!

The soldiers went for a long time before they came out.

With a creak, the city gate opened, and Zang Ba came out of the city on a black high-headed horse. Seeing Tao Ying from a distance, Zang Ba hurriedly jumped off the horse, and then walked all the way.

Walking to Tao Ying's side, Zang Ba first knelt down and said: "Guangling is too protective of Zang Ba, I have seen the lord!" ”

Tao Ying helped him up, and after Zang Ba got up, he asked a little puzzled: "Didn't the lord come from the waterway?" Why did you suddenly arrive at Guangling City by land? ”

Tao Ying knew that he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and he counted the days, and it was no more than half a month before he made a bet with Gan Ning. In this half a month, he must still rush to Jiangdu, and Jiangdu is three days away from Guangling, so he can't delay for a moment, so Tao Ying said to Zang Ba: "Let's talk about the advanced city, there are important things to discuss!" ”

Zang Ba hurriedly led everyone into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Tao Ying pointed to the gatekeeper in the city and said to Zang Ba: "Such officials who openly accept bribes are the scourge of my Xuzhou after all. ”

The gatekeeper of the city knelt on the ground, and he did not dare to make a sound. I didn't expect that Emperor Gao was far away on this day, Tao Ying actually said that he would come, he was usually used to it, but today he really forgot to look at the yellow calendar!

Zang Ba nodded hurriedly next to him, Tao Ying pointed to the gatekeeper and said, "Kill the three armies in front of the formation!" ”

The gatekeeper still wanted to beg for mercy, but Zang Ba gave an order, and several people went up and pulled the gatekeeper down.

Entering the city, although this Guangling City is not as prosperous as Pengcheng, it also has a unique flavor because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Tao Ying didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery, and after entering the city, he said to Zang Ba: "Zang Taishou, how much gold and silver is there in Guangling City now, which is enough to fit a room?" ”

Hearing that he wanted a room of gold, Zang Ba shook his head and said: "Lord, the treasures of Guangling City were plundered by Zhenrong, and then transported to Pengcheng. What's more, Master Chen, the guard of the Diannong School, wants to promote scientific farming in Guangling, and the money has already been collected, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take out so much gold for a while! ”

Zang Ba told Guangling's embarrassment, and when he heard that Chen Deng had begun to practice scientific farming in Guangling, Tao Ying was a little relieved. His new policy has been slowly implemented in Xuzhou, which is a good thing.

But what I need most now is money!

"Just now you said that you have collected the money for scientific farming, so how much is this money?"

Tao Ying thought about it carefully, in order to save Xu Sheng and Zhuge Liang, he had to do a bad thing!

"This, this ......"

Zang Ba was a little hesitant, and Tao Ying let him say reassuringly! Zang Ba then told how much money Guangling has, that's right, the fertilizer money collected by Guangling this time is enough to fill a room. But he didn't dare to touch the money. Peng Chengguo's laws and regulations are particularly strict, especially some fundamental **, no matter who violates it, he will be killed.

Pengcheng clearly stipulates that basic funds such as grain money shall not be embezzled without permission. And these money, which the rich families were originally unwilling to pay, were all money that Zang Ba forced them to pay one by one in order to complete the task, which already made the people complain.

It seems that the law made by itself cannot take the lead in sabotage.

But people are also saved. Therefore, Tao Ying thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution, that is, to change the route of transporting money from land to Suiling, from Guangling to Jiangdu, and then take the waterway around and then transport it to Pengcheng.

Anyway, I don't plan to use this money, and when the time comes, I will win Gan Ning, and I will swallow Gan Ning's money by the way, killing two birds with one stone!

Zang Ba agreed to this idea, and then asked people to prepare to load the collected money into a truck and transport it to Jiangdu. In order to prevent thieves from blocking the way, after all, there was so much gold and silver, Tao Ying asked Zang Ba to follow him to escort him.

It was not safe to follow the Yangtze River in the southern part of Guangling, because after the river was Yangzhou's territory. Yangzhou is in the midst of war, and the little overlord Sun Ce killed Jurong City again in February. At this time, Tao Ying's ally Liu Miao had just recaptured Ou'a for less than half a year, and he was preparing to face Sun Ce.

This time, Liu Miao came to ask for reinforcements again, and anyway, he had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu, so Zang Ba sent Sun Guan to lead 5,000 troops to be stationed in Dantu to echo with Ou Ayao. The fighting between the two sides was hot, and the water thieves on the Yangtze River became the target of various forces. At this time, the famous water thieves on the Yangtze River were divided into three waves, the first wave was the Jinfan thieves headed by Gan Ning, the second wave was ** headed by Zhou Tai, and the leader of the third wave was Jiang Qin.

The three of them occupied the Yangtze River, and even the government gave them three points. Sun Ce had surrendered to the three, but because Sun Ce had just been defeated by the combined forces of Zang Ba and Liu Xuan, the three refused Sun Ce's invitation.
