Chapter 264 Shouchun got the jade seal Tao Ying led the troops from Huainan all the way to the north, and the soldiers and horses had just arrived at Lishan, when suddenly Zhao Yun came to report in front of him, and the bandits Chen Lan and Lei Bo on Daoshan came to vote.

Tao Ying heard this, and asked the two to lead the headquarters to go with him to Liu Bei. The two of them were still acquaintances, and they knew that Yuan Shu was unpopular with the emperor, so they betrayed him. Now that he saw that he had won Huainan County, he came to take refuge in himself again.

After the two came, Tao Ying sealed their official positions and let them command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as left and right guards. After hearing the news that Tao Ying occupied Huainan, Chen Lan went to ask Bai Bojun Yang Feng and Han Xian to come and agree.

The two knew that if they didn't come out to surrender, after Tao Ying stabilized Huainan, he would definitely drop the Sky Eagle Army to recruit them, so they hurried to join when they were not enemies, and then mixed up. Especially after they knew that Tao Ying had obtained the jade seal, and Tao Ying was sitting on more than a dozen counties, he had the hope of replacing Yuan Shu as the emperor.

So the two also led troops to meet each other, and Tao Ying collected Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses without difficulty, occupied Yuan Shu's lair, and obtained Yuan Shu's treasures. Huainan's value to Tao Ying is far more than this, Huainan is a famous large coal mine, and he carried out the first industrial revolution, this coal is simply the blood of Pengcheng!

And what is particularly important is that Yuan Shu runs Shouchun Jiuye, and Shouchun City is above Huaishui, and it happens that coal can be sent to all parts of Xuzhou through Huaishui.

After collecting the military horses of the four people, Tao Ying asked him to follow him to conquer Liu Bei. Tao Ying had just arrived in Yuzhou, and he was encountering the military horses sent by Yanzhou, and it turned out that it was Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao who led the troops. It turned out that after the two returned to Yanzhou, as soon as they told Liu Bei's situation, Cao Cao was furious and wanted to behead the two.

Everyone next to them persuaded each other, saying that the two of them had no military power, how could they watch Liu Bei? Cao Cao asked the two to lead the troops to continue to intercept Yuan Shu, and took the jade seal back to make meritorious contributions. So the two of them led the troops again, and saw Tao Ying's soldiers and horses on the road, and the two sides lined up, but because they had a covenant with each other, the two sides could only talk.

Zhao Yun lined up and saw that it was the banner of the Tianwei Army, Zhu Ling hurriedly asked, "Is Taozhou Mu's soldiers and horses ahead?" ”

Zhao Yun also returned: "Exactly! Who's ahead? ”

Zhu Ling also returned: "Yanzhou Zhu Ling, dare to ask where Taozhou Mu is going north?" ”

Zhao Yun told the reason why he went north, and Zhu Ling said immediately: "General Zhao is not going north, Liu Daer is not promised, and he has already betrayed Yanzhou to join the Gongdu of Runan!" ”

After Zhu Ling finished speaking, Zhao Yun asked him where he was going to the south, and Zhu Ling said that he would go south to intercept the rebel Yuan Shu. Zhao Yun also replied: "General Zhu should not go south, Yuan Shu is dead, and Yuan Yin has already dedicated his life to my eldest brother!" ”

After Zhu Ling heard this, he asked where Tao Ying was? Zhao Yun pointed to the rear and said that the overseers were coming to attack Liu Bei behind. Zhu Ling knew that he was not Tao's opponent, so he had to lead his troops back to Yanzhou.

After Zhu Ling left, Zhao Yun hurriedly went to tell Tao Ying. Hearing that Liu Bei had already surrendered to Runan, Tao Ying stationed his soldiers and horses in Runan, and then asked the envoy to go to Gongdu in Runan, asking him not to shield Liu Bei, otherwise he would break his original covenant.

Gong Du and Liu Pi occupy Runan, because Runan is the main road connecting Nanyang to Liang State, so Tao Ying usually gives them both benefits.

Now because Xuzhou is under construction, it is not appropriate for him to send troops to attack everywhere, otherwise he will be like Yuan Shu, no matter how strong he is, he will perish. Now he can only keep his light and keep his eyes open, and then wait for the decisive battle of the extraordinarily large princes of the Northern Liang State before he can take the opportunity to develop.

When the envoy arrived in Runan, he heard that Tao Ying had really led a large army to ask for the guilt, and Liu Bei hurriedly resigned from Gong Du and wanted to go north to join Yuan Shao. Gong Du wanted to leave Liu Beibei to fight Cao Cao, so he was willing to talk to Liu Bei for Tao Ying.

Liu Bei was naturally willing to reconcile with Tao Ying, but Zhang Fei killed people after all, and burned the wheat in Tao Ying's half of the county, and killed so many people, according to the law of Xuzhou, this is a capital crime!

If you want to kill Zhang Fei, you definitely can't. So when Gong Du sent a letter to mediate, Tao Ying insisted that Zhang Fei arrive. So there was no way, seeing that the mediation could not be done, Gong Du did not dare to take Liu Bei in, so he asked him to go north to vote for Yuan Shao for the time being.

Gong Du sent a letter, saying that Liu Bei had gone north to join Yuan Shao, and Tao Ying could only lead his troops back to Xuzhou, and when he met on the battlefield in the future, he would definitely avenge today's revenge!

After Tao Ying returned to Xuzhou, he learned that in the two months since he left, Cao Cao actually sent troops to attack Qingzhou, and the contradiction between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had become bigger and bigger!

When Tao Ying arrived in Pengcheng, the military headquarters came to report that Cao Cao had hoarded a large army in Liyang, and then sent troops to capture Beihai County! Hearing this news, Tao Ying was even more depressed. His best friend is none other than Yuan Tan stationed in Qingzhou, this Cao Cao actually beat his own friend, and he didn't help him!

But it's strange to say that Yuan Tan didn't ask for help from himself, I don't know why. may be ashamed to speak, after all, he is the fourth and third princes, how can he ask a small prince for help? What is the saving of face when you say it? So Tao Ying naturally didn't know.

Hearing that the contradiction between Yuan and Cao had intensified, Tao Ying knew that the battle of Guandu was about to break out. Especially now that Zhang Yang killed Yang Chou and dedicated Hanoi County to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao at this time became unprecedentedly powerful.

Yuan Shao defeated the Montenegrin army in the north, and then defeated the northern minorities, and then the army besieged the city, although Yi Jing was equipped with artillery, but after all, Yuan Shao was too many. Moreover, the person of this cannon Gongsun Chan is not proficient in operation, and he has not really exerted his power.

So in the end, Gongsun Chan was still broken by Yuan Shao, and after the city was broken, Gongsun Chan committed suicide and died, and Yuan Shao unified the northern land.

Yuan Shao sits on the land of four states and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but what about Cao Cao? Cao Cao sits on the land of the Three Qins, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, as well as half of Qingzhou, and is also a giant as if he exists. Although Cao Cao did not have many soldiers and horses, he was valuable in his soldiers and soldiers, and his strategists were outstanding.

Therefore, the contradiction between these two will naturally break out, especially after the destruction of the southern giant Yuan Shu, Cao Cao has lost the prestige of the south, and Yuan Shao has no trouble in the north, and a big war will lack a fuse.

After Tao Ying returned to Pengcheng, he ordered the people to be moved to Huainan County, and then rationed food and farm tools. The people moved back to Huainan, and Tao Ying began to allocate funds to continue to support the construction of Huainan County. Now the place in Xuzhou is constantly expanding, Tao Ying is different from others, others occupy a place is occupied, and they don't want to develop them.

But every time Tao Ying occupied a place, he focused on building a large city, and then developed the entire county. After the population was relocated, Tao Ying sent an envoy to tell Cao Cao that Cao Cao would intercept Liu Bei, who wanted to go north to join Yuan Shao.

After the envoy left, Tao Ying explained very much, he must tell Cao Cao that he must not let Liu Bei's three brothers go north to vote for Yuan Shao, otherwise with the courage of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, if you want to defeat Yuan Shao, it is simply impossible!
