Xu Sheng led his troops to plunder Li Gan's camp, except for seizing some flags, weapons and armor, but did not get much grain and grass. It seems that Cao Cao's grain and grass are really running out.

After arriving at the camp next to Yishui, Tao Ying looked at the wide Yishui, and suddenly said to Zang Ba: "Marshal, it takes a lot of labor to rebuild Pengcheng after the war, I think it's better to let them make up for it, who do you think it's better to escort them to Pengcheng?" ”

Seeing that Tao Ying was so benevolent, Zang Ba didn't know what to say in his heart, but just persuaded: "Lord, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself!" What's more, now that Cao Cao's army is current, if we want to send troops to escort them, how can we resist Cao Bing's attack? ”

Tao Ying thought about it, but if he killed all these soldiers, he really couldn't bear it, and after thinking about it, Tao Ying sent Sun Guan with five hundred men and horses to escort them to Wuyuan, and it was not too late to turn around and escort them after Cao Cao was gone.

Zang Ba sighed, and had to send Sun Guan to escort the prisoners of war.

Here, in order to celebrate the victory in the first battle, Tao Ying announced a banquet for the three armies! In order to cheer up, the soldiers even escorted Li Gan and the three to the big tent.

Li Gan knelt on the ground like a defeated rooster, and behind him knelt his two family members, both of whom gritted their teeth in some humiliation.

The soldiers laughed at the three of them while drinking, and Zang Ba pointed at Li Gan and said, "How about it, I said that you should kneel in front of my lord to see my lord, can you be convinced?" ”

A small soldier next to him went up and pulled out the cloth stuffed in the mouths of the three people, not wanting Li Gan to scold as soon as the cloth was pulled off: "You wait for Hugh to be rampant, if you want to kill, you can scrape whatever you want, and when Cao Gong attacks him one day, you will not be able to laugh!" ”

"It's still very dignified! How many innocent people have you slaughtered in Xuzhou, have you ever thought about their feelings? How do you feel if I do not kill you today, and I slash your two sons alive in front of you? ”

Tao Ying threw the quilt on the ground, and the quilt was shattered, but Li Gan gritted his teeth but didn't dare to say more. No one is afraid of death, but what would it be like for an enemy to tie his son to a tree and kill him with a knife in front of him? Want to ask him to forgive himself? But following Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, killing so many people and displacing so many people, it is true that the people of Xuzhou will definitely not forgive themselves.

"Kill them alive!"

I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers in the entire hall shouted. Suddenly, the young general who knelt at the back struggled to fight and shouted: "Hmph, kill and kill, Lao Tzu will still be a good man after eighteen years!" ”

Seeing that this person was so backbone, Tao Ying stood up and clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, good, I am really young and prosperous, today I will be the first to kill you to commemorate the people of Xuzhou!" ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, the two soldiers who came over pressed the young general to the ground and drew their knives and prepared to cut him, Li Gan next to him shook his teeth when he saw this, knelt on the ground, and finally couldn't help but collapse.

"Please let him go, he is still young, and he has not killed many of your people in Xuzhou at all!"

With Li Gan's begging for mercy, another young general next to him hesitated for a while and stood up and said: "If you want to kill, kill me, I deserve to die the most, you let my brother go, he was coerced by us, he loves to read poetry and books the most, and he has never killed anyone at all!" ”

Scholars were very respected in the Han Dynasty, and Li Gan's eldest son thought that maybe Tao Ying would keep his younger brother from killing, so that his family would not be extinct, because there were three unfilial pieties, and no one wanted to be killed here.

Seeing this, Tao Ying laughed and said, "Tell me what your name is?" ”

The general lowered his head and whispered, "Li Quan." ”

"What about him?"

Tao Ying asked again, Li Quan said proudly next to him: "My brother's name is Li Dian, he loves "Spring and Autumn" the most, I heard that a virtuous person will not kill a person who reads, Tao Gongzi ......"

"Big brother, don't say much, who doesn't die?"

The two brothers quarreled in the tent, and when they heard that the little general who was less than twenty turned out to be Li Dian, Tao Ying was really a little surprised, but he didn't expect that so many famous generals in later generations were all unknown small characters at this time. And when he met Li Dian, Tao Ying was already a little numb, Zhao Yun had taken refuge in him, what other surprises could touch him?

"Li Dian, the word Mancheng, does not like to read military books, apprentices to learn the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", Shanyang Ju savage, understands the righteousness and does not compete with others, advocates learning and noble elegance, respects erudite people have a long demeanor."

Xiaoyaojin became famous in a fight, but this Tao Ying didn't say it.

Tao Ying said little by little, not wanting to be stunned by Li Dian, Li Gan, and Li Quan. The son of the Tao family has never seen him, but when it comes to Li Dianlai, everything is true, this is simply like a fairy!

"You, why do you know my name?"

Although Li Dian was a little unconvinced, he was a little-known person, how could he, a dignified son of a stabbing history, bring his information one by one like a family treasure?

Tao Ying held back the anger just now, and after gradually calming down, he said to Li Dian: "Everyone says that I am a god from heaven, you don't believe it, let you believe it today!" ”

Li Gan saw that Tao Ying knew his nephew so well, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Since Tao Gongzi is the reincarnation of the gods, he must have a fate with my nephew, so I will entrust my brother to Gongzi today?" ”

Li Gan is not a flatterer, and he is loyal to Cao Cao, Tao Ying didn't think about it at first, but when he mentioned Li Dian, he suddenly realized. He once seemed to vaguely remember in the historical materials that he was sent back by Cao Cao to pacify the people, and Lu Bu's generals persuaded him to rebel with him, but he refused, and was later killed by Lu Bu's men.

"Uncle ......"

Li Dian hurriedly knelt on the ground, but Li Gan pushed him away and said: "Man Cheng, your father entrusted you to me, and I can't escape death today, you persuaded me not to slaughter innocent people on the way, you don't deserve to die, hurry up and take refuge in the second son, presumably the second son is reincarnated, and he must be the master!" ”

Next to him, Li Quan also persuaded him, but Li Dian hesitated, because Tao Ying didn't seem to say that he wanted to accept him.

Tao Ying picked up a glass of wine again and drank it all and said: "Man Cheng can stay in Xuzhou, I will accept your entrustment." You two, I have no intention of killing you, Cao Cao will come tomorrow, and I should let you go back, but don't follow Cao Cao to kill innocents everywhere in the future! ”

After the three of them listened, Li Gan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, but Li Dian didn't want to stay in Xuzhou alone and asked to go back to Yanzhou with his uncle, but Tao Ying didn't pay attention to him and let the three of them be escorted down.

After the three of them were escorted down, Zang Ba and the others looked displeased. The person who was finally caught, but he didn't expect the lord to let him go with a word.

Although they were displeased, Tao Ying was like a god, but they did not dare to resist.

Looking left and right, Tao Ying raised his glass and said: "Today's work, when Cao Bing retreats, I should tell my father!" ”

After Sun Guan next to him also drank a full glass, he wiped his mouth and said: "Second son, I heard that the sages are rewarded and punished clearly, and if I don't say anything today, I am very unhappy in my heart." ”

Seeing that Sun Guan was holding his stomach, Tao Ying thought about it, it seems that many generals are like this! So he hurriedly said: "General Sun has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, I am not a person who can't listen to his advice!" As long as what the general says is reasonable, I will agree. ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, everyone's tense faces showed a trace of joy after victory.

"Second son, if you talk about military merits, General Xu was promoted to Xiaoguan County, and we have no complaints. However, when Zhao Yun first came, he did not have any military merits, but the second son favored him well, and the soldiers were not allowed to be the head of a county when they were born and died, and Zhao Yun received the county order of Wu County when he first came, and everyone had complaints in their hearts! ”

After Sun Guan finished speaking, Tao Ying pondered for a while after listening to it, that's right, it seems that he is indeed a little casual to give others an official title, he just knows that Zhao Yun is a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, but he doesn't think about it well, ignoring the ideas of these veterans, especially Sun Guan, who has served as a pioneer several times.

Everyone looked at Tao Ying without saying a word, as if they were waiting for Tao Ying's outbreak or something else, as if they had already discussed, everyone was waiting for Tao Ying to speak, and even Zang Ba didn't come out to say a word for Tao Ying.

After pondering for a while, Tao Ying looked at Sun Guan and said, "What General Sun said is extremely true, I am reckless in this matter. After Cao Bing retreated, I was ready to recommend Marshal Zang Ba to my father as the Taishou of Guangling. The north of Xuzhou suffered from the disaster of Cao Bing, but Guangling was the richest, and General Zang Ba would defend the land of Guangling in the future.

However, there are several cities in the land of Guangling, and I want to recommend General Sun Guan as the commander of Hailing County, General Wu Dun as the commander of Sheyang County, General Sun Kang as the commander of Yandu County, and General Yin Li as the commander of Haixi County. ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, Zang Ba took the lead in walking out of his seat and kneeling on the hall and said, "Thank you for your promotion!" ”

Sun Guan and the others also hurriedly came over and knelt down and said: "Thank you for the promotion, the last general will definitely die in the future!" ”

Tao Ying hurriedly helped everyone up and got through this crisis, but he didn't want to ask Yin Li next to him after a while: "General, do you really want to let Li Gan and the others go?" ”

The last thing everyone wants is to let go of the other party when they finally catch a person, Tao Ying nodded and said: "Cao's army is strong, we can't resist it, it's better to wait for Cao Cao, I'll sell him a face." Rest assured, generals, since I let them go, I know that they will definitely die in Yanzhou, but I want to keep Li Dian to serve in the army, and I can't get rid of Li Qianye! ”

"Li Dian is just a hairy boy, what's the use?"

Someone next to him was not convinced, but Tao Ying raised his glass and said: "I don't know, but when I heard the name of Li Dian, his name appeared in my mind, I guess there is a providence in the dark!" ”

Push everything to God to explain, everyone hears it, and they don't dare to doubt it, so they can only give up!
