As soon as Yan Liangwen was ugly, Tao Ying immediately moved out Lu Bu, who was mixed next to him. When it comes to Lu Bu, who doesn't know how fierce Lu Bu is? He regards the princes in the pass as pigs and dogs, how can such a person with such combat effectiveness not be afraid?

"What's more, I have Zang Ba, Le Jin, Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng, Li Dian, Zhuge Jin and other generals under me, how is my general weaker than your lord Yuan Tan? I have Lu Bu in Peng Chengwu, and Kong Rong, Zhang Zhao, Chen Gui and his son, how can you compare with me in Qingzhou? ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, the messenger immediately knew the reason for Tao Ying's pride. It turned out that I didn't know when, Wenhou Lu Bu actually took refuge in him. Other people like Zhao Yun, they are even more unheard of, but Lu Bu's name is like thunder.

The envoy was still thinking about how to fight back against Tao Ying, Tao Ying looked out the window, it was already dark outside. Thinking about it, if you don't get into the topic, it seems that you will delay the dinner with Kong Rong for a while, thinking of this, Tao Ying hurriedly said: "Your lord sent you, what is the so-called thing?" Hurry up, I'm in a hurry, don't waste time again! ”

The envoy saw that Tao Ying had a very strange temper, so he also wanted to end it quickly, and report it to Yuan Tan when he went back, and let Yuan Tan clean him up when the time came.

Then the messenger also said, "There is nothing else, my lord heard that you can count a hexagram, so he asked you to count a hexagram." ”

After a long time, he finally talked about the theme, Tao Ying thought about it and said: "I still need to come to the hexagram, I haven't seen me, how can I calculate it?" What's more, my hexagram is very expensive, I don't know what you Qingzhou can pay! ”

"I don't care about the land of a city, Qingzhou!"

The envoy finally showed his generosity, but Tao Ying knew that if he couldn't win Yuan Tan's respect, even if Yuan Tan gave him a city, and the city would not be handed over from his territory, he would take it back if he wanted to.

Therefore, Tao Ying still felt that he had to talk to him in person!

Seeing that Tao Ying insisted, the envoy had no choice but to say goodbye boringly.

It was already dark, and there was no reason for the guests to travel at night. So Tao Ying still let him stay overnight, and then when he left the inn, Tao Ying just said softly: "I won't let you run in vain this time, as a guest, I will pass on a word to your father-in-law." What if it is strong at this time? The land of Hebei is the land of others, if you are interested, it is better to be a rich man and live in seclusion in my Pengcheng, and it is not in vain to come to this world! ”

The envoy wanted to ask what he meant, but Tao Ying had already turned his head and left.

After leaving the post station, Tao Ying returned to the small palace outside the Jixian Palace, where Tao Ying hosted a banquet to entertain Kong Rong. After staying in Pengcheng for a night, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Tao Ying hurried to Taoling Town, he had too many things to do now, and it seemed that he was more urgent to deal with official business in Taoling Town.

Tao Ying is now in charge of very few government affairs, all of which are the research and development of some mining equipment, steam engines and smelting technology, and so on.

After Kong Rong stayed in Pengcheng for nearly half a month, he also began to take office as the Ministry of Education in Pengcheng. A rapid change seems to be about to begin again, and at this time, Pengcheng has not yet withdrawn from the war in Yanzhou.

After staying in Taoling Town until the third day, the envoy of Tan County came to Taoling Town again. Along with the envoy from Tanxian County, there was also a messenger sent by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao came with a large number of gifts this time, which really surprised Tao Ying.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the night pearl, which flashes with light light in the night, which makes Tao Ying love it. But there are some things that can't be accepted casually, and he still understands this truth.

The meeting room of Taoling Town has been built, and the meeting room is built on the slope of Taoling Mountain, and houses have been built on this side of Taoling Mountain, which has become half of Xuzhou's office space.

In the morning, the light of autumn sprinkled on a large hall, and the whole hall was plated with a layer of golden yellow. Tao Ying sat on the main seat of the main hall, the wooden floor was very clean, and many people sat cross-legged on both sides of the main hall.

Sun Shao stood beside Tao Ying and bent over, Tao Ying asked him to sit down beside him, Sun Shao felt that this was unseemly, and he always stood next to him like this.

Tan County sent a lobbyist Sun Qian this time, Sun Qian's teeth are sharp, and Tao should know it. There was also a person standing next to Sun Gan, this person looked very familiar, and after a closer look, he realized that this person was actually Cao Cao's most trusted military advisor Xi Zhicai. Maybe it was because he had a good impression of him at the beginning, so Cao Cao was willing to send him this time.

Xi Zhicai bent down and bowed to Tao Ying and said, "Yanzhou Xi Zhicai, I've seen the second son!" ”

Tao Ying didn't get up to help him, but just said lightly: "What did Cao Cao send you for?" ”

Xi Zhicai got up and said: "It's not for him, my lord has made an appointment with the second son, and they will not invade each other in the future, but the second son has invaded my Yanzhou, and I am here to ask for an explanation today." ”

As soon as he talked about the invasion of Yanzhou, and then said the covenant of Shiting Town, Tao Ying smiled instead. Who is breaking his word? He Cao Cao did something wrong, but came to accuse him, and this cheekiness is indeed thick-skinned.

Tao Ying didn't want to say more, but handed a copy of the Shiting Covenant to Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai picked up the covenant and looked at it, Tao Ying said: "Your lord Cao Cao's cheeks are really thick-skinned, everyone speaks, and his words are as untrustworthy as Yanzhou Cao Mengde!" Now that Cao Cao's character has been corrupted in Xuzhou, I see that you have no future with him, so you might as well switch to me! ”

Xi Zhicai quickly looked at the covenant and said: "That's right, my lord promised to send Shanyang County and Junyi Fengqiu to the second son, but the date was not indicated on this covenant, and the time still needs to be discussed, why did the second prince send troops to attack my Yanzhou without discussion!" ”

Xi Zhicai was not shy or impatient when he spoke.

Tao Ying suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the Cao brothers for a long time, but fortunately, when he came back from Pengcheng last time, he brought their brothers to Taoling Town by the way, so Tao Ying interrupted Xi Zhicai's words and said: "You talk slowly first, I'll let you see the two of you!" ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, he asked Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to be brought to the main hall. Cao Pi was still a little rusty, and he entered the hall with his head down without saying a word, nor did he dare to raise his head. But it can be seen from his fleshy face that at least Peng Cheng did not abuse him. It can also be seen from his gorgeous clothes that Peng Cheng has never been stingy with him.

Cao Pi was followed by a general, who was holding a child by his side. The child is smaller, with a childish face, and his eyes are wide open. On the contrary, the man next to him looked a little dull, and his face showed more loss!

Seeing that it was Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and Cao Chun, Xi Zhicai didn't know which one Tao Ying was playing. Tao Ying pointed at Xi Zhicai and said, "General Cao, do you know this person?" This person came to take the heads of you and the two little sons on the order of Cao Gong, what else do you have to say before you die? ”

Cao Chun looked at Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai just wanted to speak, Cao Chun just said coldly: "I don't believe it, it's not a pity for me to die, but I hope to keep my son for the lord!" ”
