As soon as he talked about making himself a county magistrate, Zhuge Jin was instantly stunned. These two sons are too capricious! Everyone knows that the second son chooses talents in an eclectic manner, but this election seems to be too hasty!

just met once, and even before he figured out who the other party was, he directly sealed a county order to others. And Zhuge Jin is just twenty years old this year, and this promotion speed is like a rocket!

Tao Ying patted Zhuge Jin, who was stunned, and then told him to follow him in the future, and the Wuxian county order was his. Hearing that he was appointed as the county magistrate of Wuxian County, how could Zhuge Jin not be overjoyed?

The overjoyed Zhuge Jin hurriedly knelt down to thank him, Tao Ying sighed, turned his head and walked towards Tanxian. He hates kneeling the most, and now all he wants to do is to go to Tanxian to kneel to others......

Coming to Tan County again, Tan County has been singing and dancing after the crisis, and the inside and outside of the city seem to be two worlds. There are floating corpses all over the city, and the city responds to the old saying, there are starving bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat. Tan County is the seat of Xuzhou, which should be the most prosperous place in Xuzhou, but after the baptism of two wars, it is dilapidated everywhere, like a small county town.

Hearing that Tao Ying was back, the potter ran from a long distance to meet him. It was getting dark, the curfew was starting again, and the streets were empty. Tao Ying led the horse and walked on the empty street, turned his head to Zhuge Jin beside him and said: "Ziyu, my enemy Cao Cao calls me a butcher, and my friend Cao Hong and all the adults don't like me. What do you think of me, come truthfully, I value reading people, and I will not punish you! ”

Zhuge Jin was very knowledgeable, and later worked as a civil official in Eastern Wu, Tao Ying knew that he must also have his own opinions. And Tao Ying wanted to hear his voice from the lowest level.

Zhuge Jin followed beside him, thought for a while and said: "The lord has no official authority, and he is close to the people, this is the way for the lord to win the trust of the people!" As the saying goes, there is no Han Shi in the upper grade, but the Lord can become brothers with the Han Shi, which is where the Lord can gather the sages of the world! ”

Zhuge Jin praised me for a while, but Tao Ying sighed and said: "Ziyu doesn't believe in me after all, I'm not perfect, and there is a lack of people around me who can remind me at all times." They made me succeed without being arrogant, and failing without being depressed. If I do something wrong, someone can stop me, but no one wants to help me after all! ”

Zhuge Jin lowered his head and followed behind, he saw that Tao Ying had only been an hour, and he hadn't figured out the temper of this Xuzhou god, where did he dare to talk nonsense, how could he not know the truth of self-preservation?

When he was about to arrive at the Tao Mansion, the potter was already waiting outside the door. Seeing that Tao Ying was back, the potter hurriedly ran over, and the family carried a lantern, far away in the light of the firelight, seeing the potter, Tao Ying's nose was sour.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

The potter came over and grabbed Tao Ying's hand and walked to Tao's mansion, and the family made a sumptuous dinner and put it in the hall. Tao Qian, who was sick, also sat down at the table with the support of his family, and there was a woman sitting next to Tao Qian, who was a little old.

Before he arrived in the hall, the potter had already shouted at the door: "Dad, mother, I'm back!" ”

Walking into the hall, the hall is lit with candles and the whole hall is brightly lit. Even the dining table has three bronze candlesticks, on which are lit small candles, illuminating the whole table very brightly.

Looking at Tao Qian and the old woman on the table, Tao Ying knelt on the ground when he entered the room and said, "The child greets his father and aunt!" ”

The old woman waved her hand to let Tao Ying get up, the old woman didn't like Tao Ying since she was a child, so her expression was very cold. And since the last time Tao Ying drove them from Xiapi to Tan County, the old woman cursed this concubine every day to die quickly and see his wife.

Tao Ying got up and looked at Tao Qian, Tao Qian's clothes on the table were clean, if it weren't for the constant trembling of his hands when he held the chopsticks, Tao Ying couldn't believe that he would die in a few months.

"Come and eat, there are no outsiders here, there are not so many rules!"

After the potter pulled Tao Ying to sit down, Tao Ying hurriedly sat down and began to eat. After dinner, a few people had nothing to do again. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no TV or computer, and the old woman went back with the support of the maid, and Tao Ying was also busy getting up and preparing to leave. He wanted to go back to the inn, where there was no place for him to live.

But Tao Qian left him, and the three of them sat down in the hall. The candlelight kept flickering, and the air was a little hot, but it was much better than during the day, except that there were more mosquitoes at night, and there were no mosquito coils here.

"Ying'er, did you defeat Cao Cao?"

Tao Qian broke the silence, and the Tao merchant wanted to hear Tao Ying say yes with a happy face, because even the storytellers in the entire Tan County were talking about how Tao Ying fought Cao Cao, how to defeat Cao Cao's general Cao Chun, and so on. This has become the favorite thing for the people of Tanxian County.

Tao Ying thought about it for a while and lowered his head and said, "No, I led the troops in the city and disagreed with General Liu and General Cao. They drove me out of the city, and I had to camp outside the city. Cao Ren attacked me with a strategy, Zhang Fei did not send troops to rescue him, and the child was defeated and returned to Pengcheng. After returning to Pengcheng, the child recruited another 50,000 ....... ”

As soon as he heard about the 50,000 army, the potter boasted beside him: "Brother, my brother has wanted to be able to fight on the battlefield like you countless times, and Cao Cao, who was also killed, was terrified!" ”

Tao Ying sighed and said, "Big brother, Cao Cao is not as weak as we think, he is very strong." He has many generals, all of whom can fight well, and none of them can be resisted by General Cao Bao. Even Liu Yuanjun is not Cao Cao's opponent, so don't fight Cao Cao again in the future! ”

Seeing that Tao Ying was suddenly so afraid of Cao Cao, the pottery merchant became a little angry.

"Why did my brother grow up with other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige? No matter how strong he is, won't his brother defeat him too? And beat him twice! ”

Tao Qian also asked, "Ying'er, you tell the truth, did you defeat him?" ”

Tao Ying raised his head and stared at Tao Qian, Tao Qian could no longer see the appearance of that gentleman from his eyes, Tao Ying had a perseverance in his eyes, and there was a bottomless profundity.

"Daddy, the boy didn't beat him. I didn't dare to fight him from the bottom of my heart, I knew that I didn't have any fierce generals like Yu and Zhang Fei, and I wouldn't lead troops to fight. The first time I will defeat him, it is because Peng Cheng outside Yu Ban underestimated the enemy, and Chen Deng's strategy won Yu Ban. The second time I beat him, it was because I only met Cao Cao's little-known general, so I won. When I met Cao Cao's main force, when Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun Lejin and others all arrived, I knew that they had no food and grass, and Yanzhou seemed to be in chaos, so I forced them to sign an agreement. ”

Tao Ying said very sincerely, but the pottery merchant was a little reluctant to believe it, he thought that Tao Ying was just modest, he just wanted to say that he was small, so that his father would not accept his military power.

A cool breeze blew outside the house, and several candles were blown out on the candlesticks. The house was much darker, the maids and servants were all kicked out, no one lit candles, and the potter hurried out and closed the door. After closing the door, the potter sat back and asked, "Brother, it was a fluke last time, but what about this time?" Didn't my brother drive Cao Cao out this time? ”

Tao Ying turned his head to look at the pottery merchant and said, "Big brother, if you are in charge of soldiers and horses in the future, you must reconcile with Cao Cao!" Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu are not long-term allies, only by not being Cao Cao's opponent can we keep our Xuzhou side safe! ”
