Tao Ying forgave the slave on the ground, and the slave on the ground hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, kowtowing while shouting thanks to Tao Ying for his grace not to kill. Yu Ban was also a little surprised, Tao Ying actually let go of his subordinates, which he didn't expect. Yu Ban dismounted and knelt in front of Tao Ying's horse to thank Tao Ying for forgiving his subordinates, and at the same time let his vanguard go to the city to gather all the generals who were not dead themselves.

In just one afternoon, more than a dozen Cao soldiers changed from a slave who was whipped every day to a bravaful general on horseback, which made them grateful for Tao Ying's grace of reconstruction. Tao Ying doesn't care, this kind of talent, let them die of exhaustion under the city, it is better to use their expertise to benefit themselves. However, when he thought of Chen Deng's angry appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Tao Ying was really a little proud in his heart.

Li Dian sent Tao Ying outside the city, it was already evening, Li Dian looked at Tao Ying on the war horse and said, "When will the lord return?" ”

The summer wind is a little hot, Tao Ying is wearing armor and the hot end is sweating, Li Dian asked under the horse, Tao Ying loosened the armor and said: "I will go here for more than half a year, and at least three or two months to return from the East China Sea." ”

Li Dian asked again: "After the lord leaves, what should I do if there is an accident in the city?" ”

Tao Ying thought about it again and said: "You are responsible for foreign affairs, and you listen to Chen Deng for internal affairs, and Chen Deng is not listening to Yan Zhen." And if my second and third brothers return, let them lead 500 cavalry to Tan County, the East China Sea Governor's Office, to find me! ”

Li Dian nodded, Tao Ying and Yu Ban led the soldiers and horses towards Wuyuan, they wanted to go directly to Tanxian from Wuyuan. The walls of Pengcheng in the distance are getting higher and higher, and the temples in the city have gradually changed from one to two, and even seven or eight are faintly appearing in the corners of the city walls.

Tao Ying has no intention of taking care of Pengcheng's affairs anymore, he knows that he is not as good as Chen Deng or even Yan Jian in governing the people. In the war, he is not as good as Zang Ba, and even inferior to Li Dian. But he knows what he should know as a lord, that is, appointing people on the basis of merit and not competing with his subordinates!

Yu Ban came out of prison, he had spent more than half a year in prison, and after this summer, in autumn, that was the whole year he spent in Xuzhou. Coming out of the prison and seeing palaces rising from the ground, Yu Ban was indeed shocked. And seeing so many craftsmen building brand new streets, as well as walls taller than Luoyang City, all of this made Yu Ban feel that Tao Ying was really an extraordinary person.

Especially on the road, there are people everywhere, and villages have sprung up on both sides of the avenue. What was originally a forest was pushed up and turned into an endless field; The original terracotta world has turned into patches of green crops. There are still many places where wheat is being harvested, and the faces of the people along the way are filled with bursts of laughter, all these thriving changes make Yu Ban think in his heart, maybe the lord is really a celestial, at least not from our world!

Along the road under construction, Tao Ying and the others walked for nearly ten days before arriving at Wuyuan City. When the Wuyuan County Commander heard that Tao Ying had arrived, he hurriedly led the squire to wash the dust for Tao Ying.

In Wuyuan Taoying walked around, Wuyuan outside the city also built nearly a dozen large towns, the city also built rows of houses, also built a lot of streets, and in the south of the city also built an area of nearly 100 acres of small palace group, but this palace and Peng Chengguo, the gap is too far, the building is not high enough, not so magnificent.

Tao Ying was very satisfied with the Wuyuan County Order, and the people recommended him, and sure enough, he didn't elect the wrong person. After inspecting Wuyuan, Tao Ying led his troops out of the Pengcheng border to Donghai County.

The spies sent out reported that Cao Cao had led his troops from Langya to Tan County in the East China Sea, and Tan County was already in danger. At this time, the peace troops sent by Tao Ying had arrived in Tan County, and the news that Tao Ying led 1,000 troops stationed on the border line also spread to Tan County.

Tan County has become a pot of porridge at this time, Tao Qian is still lying on the bed, but he is a tough guy after all, when he heard that Cao Cao has connected several cities, looted the people and returned to the army to take Tan County, Tao Qian was angry and asked Liu Bei and Cao Bao to send troops to meet Cao Cao outside Tan County again.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already led their troops to fight with Cao Cao outside the city, but there was no preparation for this battle, because Cao Cao was ready to return to the army after looting around, which was encountered, but in this battle, Liu Bei and Cao Bao were defeated.

Tao Qian looked at Tanxian County and became precarious again, and this time he finally decided to abandon the East China Sea and return to his hometown in Danyang. But at this time, it was not easy to defeat Xuzhou, Cao Hong and Cao Bao and others were naturally unwilling, they wanted to continue to protect Tan County, although Cao Bing outside Tan County was powerful, but Tan County was the former governance place after all, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the second son, Cao Bao also strengthened the construction of the city wall.

Moreover, there are many soldiers and horses in Tanxian County, and there is a lot of grain and grass, Cao Bao has decided to continue to defend the city! Until a messenger from Peng Chengguo appeared outside the city, the messenger escorted the Mi family's family and nearly 1,000 family members of various major clans to the city.

Seeing that their families were released, those big families were very surprised. Tao Ying killed them like this, how could he let them go? At first, they didn't want to believe it, but when they saw the real people, they rushed out of the city and hugged their families excitedly.

The return of the family has strengthened their determination to resist to the end, and even the heinous garlic nose has been released, Cao Hong is even more happy, so that the family is finally reunited, and there is no need to worry about their own end-of-the-road!

Someone came to report that the second prince led a thousand troops to be stationed on the border, as long as Tan County said a word, they would send troops to attack Cao Cao!

The sudden good news surprised many people, although some people refused Tao Ying's arrival. But I heard that Tao Ying only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, presumably it didn't pose much of a threat, not to mention that his banner was to eradicate the entry Cao thieves, presumably to protect his hometown, so Tao Qian ordered Tao Ying to lead troops into Tan County.

So after Tao Ying received the reply, he asked Yu Ban to lead a thousand soldiers to enter Tan County together, and the soldiers and horses went north along the Yishui road, and saw that the place where the treaty was signed had already been erected there, and the original covenant was still engraved on it.

After passing the Covenant Monument to the north is the place of Tan County, where Tao Ying led the troops along the way saw countless fleeing people, as well as small groups of Cao soldiers looting property everywhere.

Cao Bing saw the arrival of Tao Ying's military horses and wanted to loot Tao Ying's grain and grass, originally they thought that it was Xuzhou soldiers again, Xuzhou soldiers were all about to collapse, but they didn't want to be a group of forty or fifty Cao soldiers just encountered a small pursuit team of a hundred soldiers as a phalanx, as soon as the two armies clashed, Cao Bing suddenly felt cold.

Because of the encounter with less than their own Cao soldiers, Tao Ying's soldiers and horses directly crushed over, far away, first a burst of crossbow arrows, Cao Bing unexpectedly encountered Xuzhou's archers, they almost no arrows, all of a sudden Cao Bing's momentum to suppress!

First, there was a blow of arrows and crossbows, and then the two sides clashed, and the Xuzhou soldiers were even more fearless of death, and what Cao Bing didn't expect was that once the Xuzhou soldiers separated, they would be three people in a group, a shield soldier, a pikeman, and a crossbowman. Such a combination made it impossible for the scattered Cao soldiers to break them at once.

When they were far away, they were greeted by soldiers with bows and arrows, and when they were not too far away, they were greeted by pikemen, and when they were near, they were greeted by short-sword soldiers.

Such a combination of long and short weapons, a group of three to five soldiers, each time the pursuit is at least two groups of soldiers as a group, this tactic was invented by Tao Ying after combining the ancient military formation, and has been practiced in Pengcheng for nearly a few months, and the tacit understanding of the soldiers' cooperation has been improved I don't know how many times.
