In the era when agriculture was the foundation, the military was the guarantee for the normal development of agriculture. Therefore, in order to prepare for the future assessment of the south, Tao Ying set up the Suzhou Sailor School and the Suzhou Shipbuilding School in the Taihu Lake next to Suzhou. Taihu Lake is a natural naval training base, a natural shipbuilding factory, and close to the capital city of Suzhou, which happens to become a special force to defend the security of Suzhou.

In order to strengthen the Suzhou sailors, Tao Ying decided to establish the Suzhou Shipbuilding Factory, which was subordinate to the Suzhou Shipbuilding School. Suzhou Shipbuilding School, Suzhou Sailor School and Taihu Sailor are under the jurisdiction of Suzhou Taishou Chen Deng.

After everything was decided, Tao Ying decided to implement his first plan, which was a three-year truce development period in the two southern counties. No matter how easy land was available, the first task for Suzhou and Guangling during these three years was to attract people, have children, cultivate fertile land, open rivers, build roads, and expand cities and villages.

The second task of the two counties was to build schools so that every child could study. Due to the needs of wartime, Tao Ying ordered the opening of two schools in the two counties, one for literature and the other for martial arts. Due to the incomplete infrastructure, Tao Ying merged the two schools into one and set up a rural primary school in the township; set up a primary school in the town; the establishment of secondary schools in the county; University halls are set up in county towns, regional centers, and large cities.

For example, in Guangling County, after students reach the university hall, they can be admitted to the Guangling Naval Master School, Guangling Shipbuilding School, Suzhou Rice School, Guangling School and so on.

At that time, you can be an official, and you can enter the navy or the army.

This institution should be prepared to do it in ten years, and lay the foundation in three years.

After issuing an order to Taishou and Juncheng, Tao Ying issued an order to the local military and political leaders, that is, in the past three years, 30,000 elite soldiers should be trained in each county.

Among them, Suzhou County required 15,000 elite soldiers on land and 15,000 on sailors. Guangling County should train 20,000 elite soldiers on land and 10,000 on the sea.

After the policy was promulgated, Tao Ying crossed the Yangtze River, and after resting in Jiangdu City for two days, he led his troops to march towards Xiapi County. After leaving Guangling, the teenage Gan Ning sat in Guangling Taishou, and the future prime minister Buqi sat in Guangling County. Tao Ying knew that Gan Ning was definitely inferior to Bu Qiu in governing the place, so Tao Ying privately explained to Gan Ning and Bu Qiu, and let Bu Qi temporarily act as an agent to exercise the rights of Taishou, while Gan Ning was mainly responsible for strengthening the sailors and land elite soldiers.

Starting from Guangling City, going north, when you are about to arrive in Huaiyin, it is already the middle of July, and the weather in Huaiyin is extremely hot. Passing through the cities of Guangling, Tao Ying met many veterans under Zang Ba, although these generals are called veterans, they are not old, but they have followed Tao Ying for a long time.

Many of these veterans have complaints, they first rescued Tao Ying, so that Tao Ying has today's achievements, but now Tao Ying has made a man less than twenty years old their leader, how can they be willing?

One hundred secrets, this is something Tao Ying didn't expect. If Yuan Shu calls, maybe they will surrender to Yuan Shu because Tao Ying doesn't reuse himself. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that the people he has appointed in the past two years are all newcomers to take up the position of Taishou.

So I thought about it, anyway, after returning to Pengcheng, the military and government will be separated sooner or later, and we can't chill the veteran's heart. So Tao Ying ordered all the veteran generals of Zang Ba who stayed in Guangling and Suzhou to be promoted to the third level and under the jurisdiction and command of Pengcheng, and the local officials had no right to command.

Tao Ying originally wanted to take Sun Guan, Yin Li and others to defend Lu Bu, anyway, three years later, the battle of Guandu will break out, and his main battlefield is still in the north, but Zhuge Jin said: "The lord is not proper, these veterans have rich combat experience, and the south is initially stable, so they must be left to defend Yuan Shu in Huainan and Sun Ce in Danyang." ”

Under Zhuge Jin's advice, Tao Ying ordered that Sun Guan, who was stationed in Dantu, would still be stationed in Dantu County, Suzhou County, to defend against Sun Ce's attack, the governor of Wu County, the land army horse, and the governor of Jiang Qin.

In addition to Sun Kang, who followed Zang Ba north to Shanyang, Wu Dun led his army into Dongcheng to defend the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu in Huainan. Yin Li led the army into Haixi County in the north to defend Lu Bu's soldiers and horses. These people are very powerful, on the history, after the defeat of Zang Ba, they went to the countryside, after Cao Cao found Zang Ba, he asked him to recruit these people, Cao Cao will Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places to deal with them, enough to prove that these people's skills are strong, strong enough to serve as the governor of a state.

When the territory he occupies is large, he must also cede the position of state pastor to these people, after all, they have followed him from the beginning, they are the people they trust the most, and they are also the people who can rarely resist the Liang at present.

After the order was issued, in order to show Tao's expectations for them, Tao Ying summoned Wu Dun and others from Guangling to his side, expressing his intention to let them garrison in the most important place, as well as his trust in them, and at the same time promised them that three years later, after Suzhou and Guangling stabilized, he would transfer them to Pengchengguo, and later appoint them as state ministers.

got Tao Ying's promise, and the dissatisfied hearts of several veterans were put down.

From Jiangdu to the Huailing Tomb of Xiaqiu State, this road has passed through several counties, and before Tao Ying's army arrived, the county orders fled or surrendered to the city. They knew that since Tao Ying had chosen to lead his troops from them, he would definitely defeat them. No one wants to put a thorn in their own flesh, and Xiaqiu Kingdom is the flesh that stabs between Pengcheng Kingdom and Guangling.

In the past, Tao Ying ceded this place, because on the other side was his brother, a veritable Xuzhou Mu, but now this is already a territory that trusts Xuzhou Mu Lu Bu, how can Tao Ying not be angry?

Especially Zhao Yun, who served as the vanguard of the general attack, who doesn't know the name of Zhao Butcher? So along the way, there was little resistance, and one hit Xiaqiu, the capital of Xiaqiu Country.

After Liu Bei went north to take refuge in Lü Bu, Xia Qiu was guarded by his subordinate Mi Fang. Although this Mi Fang has the name of a daughter's family, she is a veritable man, which makes people spurt blood, and I don't know what his father thinks.

When Zhao Yun arrived in Xiaqiu City, Mi Fang sent nearly 10,000 troops outside the city to greet Zhao Yun, and at this moment, Zhao Yun's vanguard was only more than 3,000 people.

Seeing Mi Fang lining up to meet the enemy, Zhao Yun was naturally not stage frightened. Although the military horses commanded by Zhao Yun now are not the white horse servants who stayed in the north, these soldiers and horses are soldiers who have experienced more than ten battles in the south. He commanded nearly 10,000 troops in the south, and when he left Suzhou, because in order to expand the population of Suzhou, Tao Ying ordered the soldiers to be reduced, and Zhao Yun's nearly 10,000 troops were reduced to more than 3,000 now.

Therefore, Zhao Yun is now under the command of an elite soldier and horse, the two armies are facing each other eight miles outside the city, Mi Fang came out of the battle and pointed at Zhao Yun's army and horse and shouted: "Who is the soldier and horse, why did you break into the territory of my Xiaqiu!" ”
