Pengcheng Mansion, Tao Ying hesitated for a long time, and finally took over the fate of Prime Minister Pei. Jian Yong was extremely happy when he saw Tao Ying receiving the letter of appointment, so he said to Tao Ying again: "Second son, the state pastor said, Yuan Shao's wolf ambition in the north, Gongsun Zan is our real ally, so what does the second son think?" ”

Speaking of allies, Tao Ying thought for a while, and Zhang Zhao next to him said: "Yuan Shao only signed a non-aggression ordinance with Peng Cheng, but in fact, he is not an ally!" ”

Jian Yong nodded, and after a day of negotiations, Tao Ying finally promised the pottery merchant Xuzhou to unite and stabilize internally, complement each other in the future, and at the same time fight the enemy together.

Tao Ying also won his own rights, that is, he also had his own diplomatic rights and exercised autonomy.

The wind is blowing at night, and the time is soon approaching the New Year. As soon as winter passes, it is spring, and after the beginning of spring is 196, this eventful time, so Tao Ying will make a new adjustment to this year's policy.

That is, in this year, to stabilize the situation in the north, and at the same time expand the territory in the south. So a meeting was held in the dimly lit Pengcheng Mansion.

In the living room, Jian Yong, Zhang Zhao and Yan Yan and other henchmen were all there. The candlelight flickered, and Zhang Zhao stood up beside the stove and said, "Lord, news came from the north today that Prime Minister Pei has recovered the three cities of Qi County, Xue County, and Gongqiu. ”

Hearing that Prime Minister Pei Guo had recovered so many places, Tao Ying applauded very much: "Good thing, tomorrow will reward Prime Minister Pei Guo according to his military merits!" ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, Zhang Zhao's face turned embarrassed, and the people around him were silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, what was going on with Tao Ying's busyness, Zhang Zhao said for a long time, it turned out that when Pei Guoxiang went to attack Gongqiu, it was Zhang Liao, the general under Lu Bu's account, who guarded Gongqiu, Zhang Liao led the troops to fight with Pei Guoguo, and Pei Guoxiang was beheaded by Zhang Liao!

Tao Ying gasped, such a strong man died at the hands of Zhang Liao, this is really tricky! But after thinking about it, didn't Zhang Zhao say just now that Gongqiu had been defeated? They are all killed in battle, how can they break through Gongqiu again?

"The world is impermanent, the hero is shrouded in horse leather, and he ordered to reward his family, and the family will be raised by Pengcheng in the future!"

Tao Ying said busily beside him, and Zhang Zhao nodded. Tao Ying asked again, how did you capture Gongqiu City again? Zhang Zhao talked to Tao Ying about the battle of Gongqiu.

It turned out that when the expanding Pei Guoxiang led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill Gongqiu, Gongqiu had already been occupied by Zhang Liao. Gongqiu was originally the territory of Peiguo, but when Lu Bu was arranged by Tao Ying to be stationed in Lu State, as the days stabilized day by day, the restless Lu Bu began to recruit troops again!

The Lu State experienced fewer wars, and Lu Bu plundered everywhere, but in a winter and a half, Lu Bu actually recruited nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Lu State. The soldiers and horses he had lost were reunited. There were soldiers and horses, but the grain and grass were stretched, so Lu Bu went to Pengcheng every day to urge grain, which made Zhang Zhao a headache.

Not only urging food, but Lu Bu's envoy heard that Xiao Pei had been beaten down by Tao Ying, so he asked to take his family to Lu State. Because Tao Ying was in the Steroid Hill generation, Peng Cheng never told Tao Ying about these things.

After Lü Bu expanded the army and horses, he let Zhang Liao lead 3,000 troops to seize the county seat of Gongqiu. After Zhang Liao entered Gongqiu City, he began to go to those rich families to grab money, grain and grass to expand their armaments in accordance with Lu Bu's policy, so he aroused the hatred of the big families.

The people also hated Lü Bu's soldiers and horses, so when Zhang Liao attacked Pei Guoxiang, the Gongqiu clan elected Lü Qian, the former commander of Hulu County, as the leader and revolted in the city.

Lu Qian is brave and strategic, the deep Cao Cao is heavy, Cao Cao ordered him to guard in Hulu, if according to the development of history, he will be promoted from Hulu to the official, and finally become the Xuzhou assassin.

But after Tao Ying crossed over to this world, there was a butterfly effect. Tao Ying attacked Shanyang County, and after capturing Shanyang County, Lü Qian hid in Peiguo Gongqiu.

When Zhang Liao came, he threatened the people of Gongqiu City, and he never came out to resist. In the end, under the persuasion of everyone, he led nearly a thousand classes of the Gongqiu clan and the nursing institute, taking advantage of the opportunity for Zhang Liao to go out of the city to fight with Pei Guoxiang, and took the opportunity to seize Gongqiu City. So when Zhang Liao defeated Pei Guoxiang, he returned to the city, but the gate of the city wall was closed.

Zhang Liao attacked the city for a week, but still did not capture it, and the grain and grass gradually ran out, and finally Zhang Liao could only lead his troops to Lu State. After Zhang Liao left, everyone elected Lu Qian as the county commander and put him in charge of Gongqiu County.

But Gongqiu is sandwiched between the East China Sea and the three forces of Pengchengguo and Luguo, and next to him are a group of crocodiles, and he is a piece of small fat, how can he survive?

So the brave and resourceful Lu Qian thought about going to seek refuge with a prince to seek protection. If you want to take refuge in the princes, you must choose the one that is close to you, either to take refuge in the pottery merchants of Xuzhou in the north, or to Taoying in Xuzhou in the south. It is impossible for Lu Bu to take refuge, because Lu Bu is a robber!

Xuzhou in the north and south, according to the reputation, should take refuge in the pottery merchants, but the reputation of the second son is far-reaching, and invincible, so Lu Qian repaired a letter and sent it to Pengcheng, willing to return to Pengcheng. Because Tao Ying was not there, the internal affairs were decided by Zhang Zhao and others, so Zhang Zhao appointed Lu Qian as the commander of Gongqiu County, and temporarily commanded the people of Peiguo to resist Zhang Liao.

In the end, the new Pei Guoxiang accepted his fate, and waited for Tao Ying to accept his fate. Peiguo is so big that it is not inferior to Shanyang County, and Peiguo has many plains, which is the main production area of wheat, if you can attack the entire Peiguo and then implement your own scientific farming, then these wheat do not know how many people to feed!

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao made a confession, as soon as he said Lu Qian, Tao Ying still had some impressions, this person often appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so Tao Ying said to Zhang Zhao without thinking about it: "Promote Lu Qian to be the prime minister of Peiguo, let him command Peiguo's soldiers and horses, and complete the great cause of unification that Peiguo has not completed!" ”

Zhang Zhao nodded, after completing Peiguo's affairs, this barrier with Pengcheng was fine, Zhang Zhao sent another letter from the south. This letter was written back by a messenger sent by Liu Xuan, after he went back, he thought about it, it seems that the attraction of Xiapi Taishou is too great, the ancients all yearn for the Central Plains, and the southern land is a barren place, so they have to go there.

So after discussing with the surrounding staff, he couldn't be reused by Liu Miao anyway, so it was better to take refuge in Tao Ying. The envoy went to find his fellow villager Tai Shi Ci again, Tai Shi Ci was just a small general, and he could not be reused by Liu Xuan, but he was very loyal to Liu Xuan, so he was unwilling to take refuge in Tao Ying.

But as the war was losing and retreating, Tai Shici wanted to lead the troops to fight, but he couldn't even be a vanguard officer. I went to ask for my life, but Liu Miao said that if I use you as a pioneer, wouldn't I let Xu Zijiang laugh at me? One sentence made Tai Shici sad, and those who can't be reused can only bury their talents.

So under the constant persuasion of the envoy, Tai Shici was a little moved, but he came directly to Pengcheng not far to join Tao Ying, because he was not sure if Tao Ying could really reuse himself as he promised. So Tai Shici put forward a condition, that is, if Tao Ying could go to the south to see him in person, he would take refuge in Tao Ying!
