As soon as these two people were mentioned, Tao Ying came to the fire, these two people who were scared away by Cao Cao, what else did they have to offer? Liu Xuan's subordinates are such goods, how can they not be defeated by the little overlord?

Tao Ying took it in one sentence, and let it make his face a little unbearable. Although the envoy tried his best to prove that these people were very good, Tao Ying asked him directly about Ou'a. The envoy came this time precisely for the battle of District.

Seeing that the envoy's lips moved, Tao Ying interrupted him again and said: "I don't like lobbyists, if you have something to say, you will speak, I will do it if it is beneficial, don't hide it, I appreciate the bold people." ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, the envoy hesitated for a moment and had to say: "Everyone is like a god when the second son is in charge, and now he sees that this is the case." My father-in-law fought in the district and was defeated by Sun Ce. Now that my lord has retreated to Yuzhang, Xu Zi will say that the second son of Pengcheng is prestigious, and if he can unite the power of the second son, he will definitely be able to defeat Sun Ce. ”

After the envoy finished speaking, Tao Ying suddenly understood, and said that for a long time, he just wanted to let himself help him send troops to fight Sun Ce. When it came to the war, Tao Ying was reluctant to do it. What's more, this Sun Ce is a tiger general, and even Xu Shao said that he was like Xiang Yan back then, why didn't he go to him to beg for pleasure!

It's noon, the hottest time of the day. The messenger sat on a stool and sweated profusely. Tao Ying waved the fan in his hand and fanned out a cool breeze.

After thinking for a while, Tao Ying said to the envoy: "If I don't want to help you, the little overlord Sun Ce has Zhou Yu and others to help, and Liu Tingshi will definitely not be able to beat him." If you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to abandon Yuzhang and surrender immediately! ”

"Otherwise, as the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If my lord is defeated, Yuan Shu's ambition will be even greater at that time, and it will definitely cause Sun Ce to encroach on Jiangdong. If Jiangdong returns to Yuan Shu again, Yuan Shu will be even more powerful, and it will inevitably not send troops to Xuzhou at that time! ”

The envoy analyzed it like this, and Tao Ying thought about it carefully, which really made sense. But suddenly I thought about it again, there is a yarn truth here, how did I get spared?

He doesn't want to get involved in the chaos in Jiangdong, he has no ambition to dominate the world now. 's dream is actually very simple, that is, the expiration of the filial piety period, marrying the Gan family, and keeping Xuzhou, which is enough!

Therefore, Tao Ying thought that his enemy was only Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu did not seem to be able to threaten him.

"Wait, you don't want to trick me. No matter how strong Yuan Shu is, he dares to attack my Xuzhou? I have Liu Xuande in Xuzhou in the north, I am in the middle with General Wen Hou Fei, and there is Zang Ba in the south, how can I be afraid of him? ”

Tao Ying said as he fought. It seems that when you think about it, you really don't have to be afraid of anyone. It seems that Xuzhou at this time ushered in an unprecedented strength, the emperor of Shu is here, and the five tigers will be four here. The flying general Lu Bu and the five good generals Zhang Liao are here, and even the clever Zhuge Liang is in their camp, why are they still holding on to the land in front of them?

Tao Ying suddenly remembered Wang Lun in the Water Margin, and how much he looked like him at this time!

Seeing the pride on Tao Ying's face, the envoy said unhurriedly: "Tao Pengcheng's words are also bad, if you don't care about Jiangdong, this is a tiger for trouble!" ”

The envoy told Tao Ying about the situation in Jiangdong, and at this time, Jiangdong was occupied by Wang Lang. Wu County was occupied by Yan Baihu, and Yuzhang and other places were controlled by Liu Xuan. And the little overlord Sun Ce has just won the district, at this time the wings are not full, if the little overlord is allowed to develop, it will not be long before he can unify Jiangdong.

At that time, the talents of Jiangdong will all take refuge in him, and at that time, Wu Di will slowly develop. However, in the north, there are only years of military disasters, and when war breaks out, people often flee to Jiangdong for refuge.

Tao Ying knew the seriousness of letting it go, so under the advice of the envoy, Tao Ying decided to start intervening in Jiangdong's affairs. But intervening in Jiangdong's affairs, Tao Ying did not have more soldiers and horses to support Yuzhang.

What's more, this is not the time to challenge Yuan Shu, so Tao Ying said to the envoy again: "Now that my soldiers and horses have been sent to Shanyang County to meet Cao Cao, and there are no soldiers and horses to support the area, what should I do?" ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, the envoy thought about it and offered a strategy and said: "Yuan Shu was once an ally with Tao Tingshi, why didn't Gongzi leave a letter to mediate between the two families?" ”

Ally? Yuan Shu is actually his ally? Come to think of it, maybe you really didn't know there was such a thing. Tao Ying didn't know about it, but the potter did. The potter is now a pastor in Xuzhou, and he still pursues his father's policy of the year, attacking the foreign alliance closely. So now Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan are both allies of Xuzhou.

Tao Ying, on the other hand, had only one ally, and that was Cao Cao, and his own ally betrayed him. What a sad thing.

After listening to the envoy's words, Tao Ying, who only cared about the war in the north, began to turn his attention to the south of the Han Dynasty - Jiangdong! At this time, the little overlord had less than 5,000 troops, and even after the first battle of Ou'a, he could collect some soldiers and horses, but there were no more than 10,000. If you sit idly by, you will definitely pose a threat to yourself in the future.

Therefore, Tao Ying followed Liu Xuan's words and wrote a letter for the envoy to take to Huainan and hand it over to Yuan Shu. At the same time, he gave a cart of paper and other items he invented to Yuan Shu as a meeting gift.

Seeing that Tao Ying adopted his own opinion, the envoy hurriedly thanked Tao Ying. Tao Ying helped him up, because the war in the south continued, and the envoy was about to take his leave after staying in Taoling Town for two days.

The envoy was leaving, and Tao Ying, who was idle, came to see off the envoy like a guest of honor. As soon as he left Taoling Town, the envoy was moved when he heard that Tao Ying was going to come to see him off in person. Liu Miao is a member of the Han family, and he will make many mistakes made by the children of nobles, that is, to reuse people with status, and many people with bad backgrounds are turned away because of this.

As Tao Ying, who came from a harmonious society where everyone is equal, he has no opinion. Tao Ying summed up two reasons why he was able to mix in the late Han Dynasty and become stronger: first, he was able to know the talents that had not yet been developed in this era. Second, he does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, and appoints people on the basis of merit.

Out of Taoling Town, Tao Ying sent the messenger to the boundary of Pengcheng until he stopped. In the early morning, as soon as the sun jumped out of the east, the cicadas began to chirp, and the people began to work in the fields.

The envoy took the horse and bowed to Tao Yingyi and said, "Thank you for sending the second prince today, let Mou be grateful." When he returns to Yuzhang one day, he will definitely persuade my lord to form an alliance with his son. ”

Tao Ying nodded, and then there was another question that had been bothering him, and if he didn't bring it up now, he was afraid that he would not have a chance. So Tao Ying also hurriedly asked: "I am willing to form an alliance with Liu Tingshi, there is something I want to ask." Can you tell us? ”

The envoy nodded hurriedly, and Tao Ying continued: "Why did Liu Tingshi form an alliance with me, instead of going north to find an alliance with Xuzhou Mu? ”
