Pengcheng, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi surrendered more than 3,000 people from the tribe to Zhuge Liang because they sacrificed the jade seal, so Tao Ying did not imprison them in prison. The two were in a courtyard and stayed in Pengcheng for a few days, and Yuan Xi used silver taels to buy off the guards and let the officials bring a letter out. The official in charge of guarding the two did not dare to hide it from Tao Ying, because he knew that although Tao Ying seemed to know nothing, in fact, nothing could escape his ears and eyes. So the guard officer dedicated the letter to Tao Ying.

Tao Ying took the letter and asked Jia Xu, Jia Xu looked at the letter and said to Tao Ying: "Lord, he went to beg Yuan Tan to surrender, which proves that they have the desire to survive." I think this Yuan Xi is different from Yuan Shang, it is better to leave Yuan Xi as an official in Xuzhou, send Yuan Shang to Yanzhou, and then kill him or not depends on Cao Cao's opinion! ”

Tao Ying nodded, so he sent another letter to the guard officials to send it to Bohai County, and sure enough, Yuan Tan rode a fast horse to see Tao Ying in less than a month, and he came to save the life of his second brother Yuan Xi. Yuan Tan also knew that he was weak in Xuzhou, and this younger brother was also quite capable, and he was more loyal, so Yuan Tan asked Tao Ying to spare Yuan Xi's life.

So Tao Ying pushed the boat down the river, gave Yuan Tan a face, released Yuan Xi, and left him as an official in Pengcheng. Yuan Tan had a gap with Yuan Shang, so Yuan Tan did not intercede with Yuan Shang. So Tao Ying sent someone to escort Yuan Shang to Xudu and handed it over to Cao Cao for processing. Because every move of the Yuan family involved the hearts of the scholars in the world, Tao Ying recommended Yuan Shang to the Han Emperor to be the Yin of Henan and placed him in Henan.

After Yuan Shang was sent to Xudu, Cao Cao heard that he had dedicated the jade seal to Tao Ying, Cao Cao was furious after hearing this, and wanted to push Yuan Shang out and behead him, next to Guo Jia hurriedly suggested: "The lord can't, if you kill him, Tao Ying's plan is also!" So Guo Jia explained Tao Ying's intentions, and Cao Cao hurriedly withdrew the order after hearing it. The recent blow to Cao Cao from Xiahou Yuan's death has made Cao Cao not fully recover, so Cao Cao is always moody.

After Cao Cao thought about it carefully, he appointed Yuan Shang as the assassin of Qingzhou and asked him to go to Tao Ying's territory to take office. Yuan Shang saw that Cao Cao would not kill him, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly took the appointment letter of the Han Emperor and went to Qingzhou to take office. Qingzhou has long had Zang Ba as the prefect, where can Yuan Shang be accommodated? So as soon as Yuan Shang arrived in Qingzhou, Zang Ba wanted to kill him! Hearing that Cao Cao sent Yuan Shang to Qingzhou again, Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked his father-in-law Tao Ying to write a letter to Zang Ba, asking Zang Ba not to kill Yuan Shang, and then asked Zang Ba to send Yuan Shang to Runan County, Yuzhou to take up his post.

Although the land of Runan is now controlled by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's control of Runan is not strict, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban are raging there, so Tao Ying returned his 3,000 men and horses to him and drove him to Runan to become an official. As soon as Yuan Shang left, Tao Ying recommended Yuan Shang to the imperial court as the Taishou of Runan. Sure enough, when Yuan Shang returned to Runan, Runan Taishou heard that it was the general Yuan Shang who arrived, and hurriedly came to visit, Yuan Shang took advantage of the situation to seize his big seal, and he became Runan Taishou.

After Yuan Shang occupied Runan, he recruited troops in Runan, and in just a few months, Yuan Shang used the influence of the Yuan family to recruit nearly 10,000 troops in Runan. After Cao Cao heard that Yuan Shang occupied Runan, Cao Cao, who was already in a bad mood, became even more angry, and in a fit of anger, Cao Cao wanted to raise troops to attack Yuan Shang again. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to use soldiers again, Xun Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Prime Minister, now that Jizhou and Yanzhou have just stabilized, if they go on another expedition, I am afraid that Yanzhou's original qi will be hurt!" ”

Xun Yu has stood with the Han Emperor all his life, he wants the world to stabilize like this, anyway, Tao Ying only cares about developing his territory, and hopes that one day the Son of Heaven can command the world again. Cao Cao had a headache again, so he could only temporarily stop his desire to go south. Seeing that Cao Cao's health was getting worse and worse, everyone began to discuss letting Cao Cao establish a son.

Cao Cao appointed himself as the prime minister, but Emperor Xian named Tao Ying as the Duke of Peng, and did not dare to succumb to Tao Ying, and Cao Cao forced the Son of Heaven to canonize himself as the Duke of Wei and sealed his fief in Jizhou, Hebei. In the past two years, Cao Cao went around looking for famous doctors to treat himself, and heard that Xuzhou had developed medical skills, and Cao Cao wanted to invite a famous doctor in Xuzhou to show him a headache, but no matter how much gold and silver Cao Cao used, the famous doctors in Xuzhou did not dare to come to Yanzhou to treat Cao Cao.

Now, after ten years of development, Xuzhou's medical skills have been nearly 100 years ahead. The most important thing in medicine is the promotion of anatomy, and the combination of chemistry and medicine has made medicine refresh and revolutionized again and again. Cao Cao's headache was not a serious illness, and he would definitely be fine if he asked Hua Tuo to do an operation on him in Huatuo Medical Hall, but Huatuo Medical Hall did not dare to operate on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was reluctant to go to Xuzhou because he couldn't invite a famous doctor, so he could only endure pain in Yanzhou every day. 208 was an eventful year, and the two major princes in the south, Sun Quan and Huang Zu, finally decided the victory and defeat in the war. Sun Quan sank the Huangzu Taihu battleship with the help of the Jiangdu No. 2 ship, and after the Taihu Lake sank, Sun Quan's army soon captured Jiangxia and slaughtered Jiangxia City, and Huang Zu had to flee to Jiujiang Mansion.

Huang Zu wanted to return to Jingzhou, but he was afraid of Jingzhou's Mu Liu Biao's reproach, so he had to defect to Xu Sheng in Jiujiang Mansion. Xu Sheng had autonomy in Jiujiang Prefecture, so he took Huang Zu in and appointed Huang Zu as the governor of Jiujiang City, and he commanded Nanchang.

After Huang Zu was stationed in Jiujiang City, he suggested to the prefect Sun Shao to develop a naval army. Huang Zu knew very well the power of Sun Quan's navy, especially in the past few years, Sun Quan's army could skillfully build new warships, but Tao Ying's navy was far inferior to Sun Quan. Now Tao Ying is blindly developing the north, and in terms of naval forces, in addition to having the advantage of research and development of warships, Tao Ying has been far inferior to Huang Zujiu in terms of combat, not to mention Sun Quan.

Huang Zu wanted to take revenge, but after he came to Jiujiang, he found that the only battleship in Jiujiang City was still on a first-generation battleship! The great river of history flowed inadvertently in the south, and the people of Jiujiang Mansion, who had not experienced the baptism of war, sang and danced, and even forgot that there was a tiger stationed next to him! Looking at the Jiujiang equipped with the No. 1 gun, Huang Zu really couldn't cry or laugh.

I thought that Jiujiang Mansion was Xuzhou's territory after all, and the equipment must be advanced, but I didn't want it to be so simple! Huang Zu described Sun Quan's battleship to Xu Sheng and Sun Shao, Xu Sheng didn't believe that there was a more powerful battleship in the world than the Jiujiang battleship! Huang Zu sighed and said to Sun Shao: "Lord Prefect, Jiujiang City and Nanchang City are indeed more prosperous than the capitals of Sun Quan and Liu Biao, but if Sun Quan comes to attack Jiujiang Mansion, it will not take a month to capture Jiujiang!" ”

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and now the entire Jiujiang Mansion is just living in peace but forgetting to think about danger!

Xu Sheng saw that he had forgotten his eldest brother's instructions to him, so he was busy and wanted to revive the prestige of Jiujiang, so Xu Sheng said goodbye to Sun Shao and went to Jiangnan Mansion and Guangling Mansion accompanied by Huang Zu to find out!
