Sun Shao summarized the comprehensive opinions of Zhang Zhao and other Wenchen and Yu Ban and other generals, and finally came up with a special method of submission that belonged to Tao Ying.

So, when it was almost dark, Tao Ying asked people to hold a banquet on the hall halfway up the mountain to entertain the envoys from Qingzhou. After resting for an afternoon, the trial and the others were obviously more energetic, so they gathered in the hall again, and this dinner, Tao Ying gave everything he had, so that the trial and other Qingzhou guests feasted fiercely.

In the main hall, on the left side of Tao Ying sat Zhang Zhao, Kong Rong, Sun Shao, Chen Deng, Yan Yan and other Wenchen, and next to Wenchen sat Yu Ban and Cao Chun and other military generals. On the right side, there are guests waiting for the judges, and there is a small table in front of each guest's table, on which wine and meat are placed, and there is a maid next to it who is responsible for pouring wine.

Tao Ying raised his glass to welcome Qingzhou's envoy again, and thanked the judges. After three rounds of drinking, the chief inspector asked: "Second son, what did the second son think about what he asked at noon?" ”

Asked about the matter of returning to Shun, Tao Ying gestured to Sun Shao, Sun Shao got up and said: "My lord is willing to take refuge with Yuan Gong, but my lord's land is not bordering Yuan Gong's land, and my lord is not far away from abandoning his hometown and leaving elsewhere, so he ......." ”

Sun Shao stopped, and the judge hurriedly returned: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"My lord is willing to form an alliance with Yuan Gong, and the enemies of my lord who stay in Pengcheng can help Yuan Gong restrain the surrounding enemies, I don't know what Jizhou thinks?"

Tao Ying's meaning was to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, nominally to submit to him Yuan Shao, but in fact it was an ally.

After Sun Shao finished speaking, he thought that the trial would not agree, but he didn't want to judge but agreed. What Tao Ying didn't know was that Yuan Shao had already transferred most of his troops to deal with Gongsun Zan at this time, and the battle of Baoqiu, which would determine the success or failure of the two, was about to begin, so Yuan Shao needed more allies.

After agreeing, Tao Ying happily toasted him with a glass of wine. The trial said again, going back, he will definitely let Yuan Gong report to the imperial court, and then canonize Tao Ying as Xuzhou Mu!

At this time, the official position is no longer so expensive, but there is an official position to be held, which is always justified, at least with the consent of the central government.

Tao Ying did not refuse, nor did he accept.

Inside the hall, there was laughter on both sides.

The judge stayed in Taoling Town for two days before going back, and when he left, in order to express his chills, Tao Ying still sent more valuable things to Yuan Shao.

He was given two truckloads of beautifully made paper, and then a box of books he had just printed. Although this gift is not as valuable as gold, silver and jewelry in their eyes, it is precious enough for them, and it happens to promote themselves by the way.

The trial was delivered to Shili Changting Town, and at the time of parting, the trial gave Yuan Shao's instructions, that is, to keep an eye on Yuan Shu. A series of problems during this period are related to this guy.

The two brothers turned against each other, and many princes perished.

Tao Ying nodded, he and Yuan Shu always had to fight.

After forming an alliance with Yuan Shao, Tao Ying looked at his own territory on the map, and to the north he was connected with the eldest prince Tao Shang, who was ally with Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shu, and now he was close to Cao Cao.

But he was an ally with Yuan Shao in the north, and the only ally left in the south was Liu Xuan, a warlord who was about to be wiped out. Therefore, Tao Ying decided to quickly end the war in the north, take advantage of the chaos in the north, set his sights on the south, and he also broke the rule of keeping filial piety for three years, traveled to Jiangdong, and sought talents!

Back in Taoling Town, the battle report of Yanzhou came little by little. At this time, the army led by Lü Bu launched a series of battles against Cao Cao after Tao Ying's powerful supply. Tao Ying originally just wanted to teach Cao Cao a lesson and let him spit out what he had promised. But Lu Bu was different, he had other ideas, so he chased Cao Cao to the death.

In the battle of Changyi, Lü Bu lost. Lü Bu accepted the advice of the advisors and engaged in a tug-of-war with the enemy. This tug-of-war is a war of attrition, to see whose supplies are strong enough. After two years of war and the Great Khan of Guanzhong, Cao Cao had long been short of grain and grass, so before a month arrived, Cao Cao withdrew his army from Changyi in disgrace.

As soon as Cao Cao left, Lu Bu led his troops to chase him all the way to Juye. Cao Cao retreated to Jiyin County, and after Lu Bu's army recovered Shanyang County, he passed on the good news and Tao Ying. At this time, Cao Cao, who could not withstand the destruction of the god of war Lu Bu, had to go to Taoling Town to pray for peace.

Cao Cao's envoy came to Pengcheng through Donghai County, and it was still Xi Zhicai who was in charge of coming this time. But this time, it seems that he has made the decision to put up with everything. Because instead of being attacked by Lu Bu, it is better to lose some land for the time being, and then plan to fight it back when you have food.

At this time, Cao Cao had not yet reached his peak, and his five good generals were still scattered all over the place. The leader of the five good generals is Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao is leading the troops to fight him!

The second position is Le Jin, and he is also the only surviving general in his camp. The third is Yu Ban, Yu Ban has surrendered to himself and is the commander here! Cao Cao praised Yu Ban as an ancient famous general, and Tao applied him as handsome, and it was true.

There are two more generals of the five sons, Zhang He and Xu Huang. Zhang He is far away in the north, or the four pavilion pillars of Hebei under Yuan Shao! Even Xu Huang was an official under Yang Feng at this time.

Not to mention that Dian Wei and the tiger general Xu Chu, who were holding the double halberd, had not yet returned to him. Thinking of this, Tao Ying suddenly wanted to look for Xu Chu and them, but he really forgot where they were.

It's all up to Providence!

Lu Bu led the army to recruit troops and horses all the way, and when he arrived in Juye, he already had nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses. And his food and salary are also borne by Xuzhou, Tao Ying has become more and more tired of supply.

Moreover, Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng wrote several times, all of which told Lu Bu in their hearts. Zhuge Jin even sent a letter to Lu Bu to recruit troops and horses, and he seemed to have different aspirations.

Even Li Dian complained that every time he attacked the city, Lu Bu was brutal, and he plundered the troops when he entered the city. Then the looted money is used to recruit troops and horses, and it is not reported.

What's even more infuriating is that Lu Bu's subordinates actually withheld their food. They were the main force of Xuzhou, and they were actually bullied by Lu Bu's military horses who lived in a guest house, and the soldiers were not convinced, and many of them began to slack off the morale of the army, and then they did not attack well.

And the most unbearable thing for Lu Bu is that every time he encounters Cao Cao's elite army, he asks Zhao Yun to be cannon fodder, and every time he makes Xuzhou's military horses suffer heavy losses, and all the credit is taken up by Lu Bu alone.

Listening to the stories of his military horses, Tao Ying was a little depressed in his heart. This Lu Bu is also a big hero who once made him admire immensely, he has a big beauty Diao Chan by his side, and there are peerless fierce generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, how can he do things but be so unbearable?

It's no wonder that the other princes are unwilling to take him in, looking at his performance along the way, whoever takes him in will die rhythm! first killed Ding Yuan, and then killed Dong Zhuo. got closer to Situ Wang Yun, and Wang Yun also hung up. Now that he has come to Xuzhou again, even the Xuzhou herdsmen are unwilling to take him in.
