The new palace has been idle for almost a year, except for the main palace, which is almost finished. These days, Pengcheng's money has been used to fight, looking at a good city, because the war has been slowed down by the pace of construction, so Tao Ying slowly dislikes war.

Entering the city from the west gate, riding a horse only half a pillar of incense before coming to a wide street, this street is not very crowded, even the people who sell things are very few.

This is the post house street, the post house is the official used to entertain other princes and envoys to live, the construction is relatively high-end. When Tao Ying arrived at Yiguan Street, Zhang Zhao had already led Pengcheng Wenwu to greet him.

When the officials saw Tao Ying, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Tao Ying jumped off his horse and then helped them up. I looked left and right, but I was gone.

So Tao Ying asked, "Lord Zhang, why isn't Lord Yan here?" ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly replied: "Lord Yan has already gone to Guangling a few days ago because of some official business. Recently, Huainan Yuan Shu has always sent troops to invade the southern part of Pengcheng, looting grain and grass everywhere, and slaughtering villagers. ”

Tao Ying nodded, and then asked Kong where Beihai was? The first person he wanted to see was Kong Beihai, not the envoy of the local tyrant Yuan. Zhang Zhao led Tao Ying towards the post house street in front, autumn came, and the leaves on both sides of the post house street also fell. These trees were originally grown here, which was originally a forest, and then when the post house street was built, these large trees were preserved.

Therefore, although the name of Yiguan Street is the name of a street, the appearance is far from being as simple as a street. This is a large forest, right next to the foot of a mountain, and this is one of several small hills in the city of Pengcheng. Because of the post house built here, this mountain is also called Yingke Mountain.

There are two big roads at the foot of Yingke Mountain, and then in a forest, several small courtyards have been built, and the very unique courtyards built are post stations.

The courtyard where Kong Rong lived was far away from the northernmost post street, which was because Zhang Zhao had taken into account Yuan Tan's envoys. Several people dismounted and walked all the way to the small courtyard, and Kong Rong was already waiting by the post house with a depressed face. The bluestone pavement was a little wet, and not long after the morning dew had dissipated, the sun had risen, and the foot of the mountain was a little foggy.

Seeing Tao Ying, Kong Rong hurriedly said: "Rong visited the lord, he kept talking to the lord at the beginning, he boasted inherently, and he really regretted it, and today he has fulfilled his promise to vote for the lord and hope that the lord will accept it!" ”

Kong Rong was about to bow down after speaking, Tao Ying hurriedly walked over to assist Kong Rong and said: "Kong is too polite, this is not Kong Beihai's incompetence, everything is providential!" Providence let Kong Beihai come to help me Xuzhou, which is really my honor in Xuzhou. I should be looking forward to Kong Beihai coming to Taoling Town every day, and I want to see it today, I really don't know how to express my excitement! ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, he took Kong Rong and went to the city, he wanted to entertain Kong Rong in the Jixian Palace, and then entertain the people who came with him. Kong Rong was very moved when he saw that Tao Ying welcomed him so much.

So Kong Rong grabbed Tao Ying and then began to introduce the people around him, and the first person to be pushed to Tao Ying's side was Gong Cao when Kong Rong was in Beihai. In front of me is a gentleman who does not look very old, but gives a very capable feeling.

The man first bowed to Tao Ying, and then said, "I've seen the lord!" ”

Tao Ying hurriedly helped him up, Kong Rong introduced beside him: "This is my Gong Cao Wang Xiu, a talented person, I escaped from Beihai, my family fell in Beihai, only they sacrificed their lives to accompany me to escape, I hope the lord can reuse them!" ”

When I heard that it was Wang Xiu, the name Tao Ying was very familiar, but I couldn't remember what he was doing for a while. But when I thought about it, since he was famous in history and had an impression of himself, he was definitely not an ordinary person, so Tao Ying hurriedly took his arm and said: "Mr. can come to Pengcheng, it is really my Pengcheng luck!" Now that Shanyang County in the north has been captured by Wen Hou's troops, I hope that Mr. will help me manage one side! ”

Wang Xiu heard that Tao Ying was going to reuse himself, so he hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you for your appreciation, and Xiu should sacrifice his life to accompany him!" ”

After helping Wang Xiu up, Kong Rong pointed to another person and said: "Lord, this is also my Gong Cao Sun Shao, his talent can be used in important positions in the imperial court!" ”

Holding an important position in the imperial court?

This is the highest evaluation Tao Ying has ever heard of a person! Tao Ying looked at the man carefully, and the man stood there first as a head, and then as a salute, with a dignified appearance, neither humble nor arrogant.

Tao Ying nodded, and after thinking about it carefully, Tao Ying suddenly remembered this person. Sun Shao, isn't this a talent from Soochow? How did it appear in Kong Rong? Tao Ying knew him because he had read a novel, and the first prime minister of Eastern Wu written there was Sun Shao, is it really the person in front of him?

This Sun Shao is really the first prime minister of Eastern Wu. Originally, he was Kong Rong's Gongcao, but later he went to Jiangdong and took refuge in Sun Ce, so he had the following theory.

If this person is counted, Tao Ying doesn't know who to appoint as prime minister, he already has the most reliable person who can be prime minister, that is the young Zhuge Liang! Although he is still exercising, Zhuge Liang's talent is recognized by the world!

However, Zhuge Liang is young after all, so Tao Ying thought about it, since Kong Beihai is such a famous person who praises him so much, if he doesn't give him a big official, if he chills his heart, he goes to seek refuge in others, not to mention his own losses, the key is to make the opponent stronger, and he will lose a lot!

So Tao Ying hurriedly said to Sun Shao Shili: "Mr. is talented in the imperial court, but now the imperial court is in charge, and such a talented person cannot be appointed, it is really a loss for my Han Dynasty!" If Mr. does not think that Pengcheng Temple is small, he should ask Mr. to stay in Pengcheng and serve in Taoling Town, and Mr. Wang agrees! ”

As soon as he heard that he was allowed to work in a small town, although a trace of unhappiness flashed on Sun Shao's face, he was still discovered by Tao Ying.

Seeing that Sun Shao had misunderstood, Tao Ying hurriedly explained: "Sir, don't dislike Taoling Town, now Taoling Town is no less prosperous than Beihai City." Taoling Town is also a place to live, please go to Taoling Town, so that you can ask Mr. for advice and learning from time to time! ”

Tao Ying explained, and Sun Shao's face looked much better. Chen Deng hurriedly persuaded: "Taoling Town is the heart of the entire Pengcheng, it is a stone's throw away from Pengcheng, and Mr. will naturally know the importance of Taoling Town in the future!" ”

After hearing this, Sun Shao said: "Thank you for your trust, and Shao should be with you!" ”

After accepting Sun Shao, Kong Rong introduced many people, and Tao Ying arranged errands for them one by one in Shanyang County. Anyway, now half of Shanyang County is in the hands of Wen Hou Lu Bu, and this time it is just right to make use of these talents.

This Kong Rong, although he can't fight a war, he doesn't want to be able to gather so many available Wenchen by his side, and he really didn't think he had a hexagram for him in the first place.

And his reputation is far inferior to Kong Rong and Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao was forced to come by himself, but Kong Rong came voluntarily, and when this is spread, the reputation is different. Although Kong Rong came, most of them were the fetters of his reputation, but the gentleman said that it is difficult to chase the horse, he still understands, who made him a gentleman?
