(I've been busy lately, and I've been changing every day, thank you for your understanding.) When asked this question, the messenger's face furrowed slightly. Nominally, both Pengcheng and Guangling were under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Mu. So if you want to form an alliance, you can only go to form an alliance with Xuzhou, how can you find yourself?

The envoy thought for a while and said, "The land of Yangzhou is adjacent to the land of the second son, Guangling, so I am willing to form an alliance with the son." What's more, Mr. Xu Shao said that the second son is talented, and he is a virtuous man! ”

As soon as he praised himself, Tao Ying suddenly laughed, could it be that this guy who prides himself on being able to read people still divides himself for himself? It's always been good to divide divination with others!

Xu Shao really divined Tao Ying, and when Xu Zhao passed by Pengcheng, he had seen Tao Ying. It's just that Tao Ying didn't know that after he went back, Xu Shao wrote an article about Tao Ying, describing Tao Ying as a mysterious person, and also saying that he would also be a great talent in the future. But Xu Shao didn't come to vote for him, because no one recommended him.

When the ancients went to seek refuge in others, they were either from the township party or recommended by someone. There are very few people who recommend themselves, or people with discernment to find out the heroes from the crowd.

"Haha, are all the people in Liu Tingshi so good at talking?"

The envoy was busy and worried, and Tao Ying said with some concern: "I have already divined a hexagram for Liu Tingshi, and this hexagram is very bad, and there is no photo of Journey to the West." If you want to live, you can lead the troops to abandon Yuzhang and come to Guangling to live! There is one more thing, if Liu Tingshi does not stop, I beg you for one thing today, can you say that Tai Shici came to Xuzhou after you go back? Taishi Ci will definitely be defeated by Sun Ce several times in Yangzhou, and Liu Tingshi is not reused, so it is better to steal my Xuzhou. ”

As soon as he heard that Tai Shici was coming to surrender, the envoy was a little embarrassed. Because Tai Shici and Liu Miao are fellow villagers, and the envoy is also their fellow villager. The friendship of the villagers was very deep, and seeing that the messenger was silent, Tao Ying began to advise again.

Tao Ying knew that since this messenger could be sent to lobby him, he must also be talented, so Tao Ying began to tempt again.

"I think you are also a talent, why don't you come with General Tai Shici! How about I recommend you to be a driver in Xuzhou, or the Taishou of Xiapi County? ”

Tao Ying tempted him with high-ranking officials, and except for Xiapi City, which was in his hands, the rest were in Liu Bei's hands. But sooner or later, he will have to return all the countries of Xiapi, and then his own land will be able to be connected.

As soon as he heard that the divine operator Tao Ying actually let him take the position of Taishou, the envoy instantly hesitated. This is not a petty official, and now the second prince is so powerful, even Wen Hou Lu Bu is under him. Moreover, Wen Hou Lu Bu was just Xiao Pei's prime minister, and the envoy struggled in his heart.

Tao Ying pointed to the north again and said, "If Taishi Ci comes, I will take back the Shanyang County that Cao Cao owes me and hand it over to him to manage." From then on, Tai Shici was the Taishou of Shanyang County, and Mr. was the Minister of State of Xiapi. Mr. can think clearly after going back, Liu Tingshi can't fight Sun Ce! ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, he asked someone to take one and handed it to the messenger. The messenger took the package, and it was hard inside, as if there were two boxes. Tao Ying patted the messenger on the shoulder again and said, "Good birds choose trees to perch, take care, sir!" ”

The envoy saluted Tao Ying, turned and left.

Seeing that the envoy left, Tao Ying also sighed and went to Taoling Town. The envoy was absent-minded on his horse, and when he was about to reach the outskirts of Pengcheng, the envoy was wondering what Tao Ying was giving him.

At noon, the envoy went to a state-run inn outside the city to eat and take a rest. When I entered the room, there was no one around, and Xiao Er also went out.

The messenger couldn't help but take off the package and opened it, and there were two letters of appointment inside. There is a hundred taels of gold next to it, and there are two boxes, and there are two large seals in the boxes, one is the seal of Xiapi Kingdom, and the other is the seal of Shanyang County.

Tao Ying is so recruiting, and he is also two little-known people who are not famous, which makes the messenger inexplicably moved to tears. Shi died for his confidant, and Tao Ying seemed to appreciate him more than Liu Xuan!

August passed quickly, and in September, autumn came.

Pengcheng in September appears to be even busier, and the city walls have been completed after three years of construction. Unconsciously, Tao Ying suddenly found that he had been here for three years.

A battle report from Shanyang County came from Lü Bu, and Lü Bu's army first divided into four routes, and before Cao Cao could react, they hit the boundary of Rencheng State. Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses went all the way north to Changyi, the capital of Shanyang County.

Because the soldiers and horses were too scattered, and Cao Cao had already led his troops from Zhencheng at this time, Lü Bu had to abandon the small county town he occupied, and then led his troops towards Changyi.

Outside Changyi City, when Cao Cao led nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses to arrive, the scouts found out that Changyi City had been lost in front of him. The city was already full of Pengcheng's flags, and after Cao Cao's vanguard general Xiahoudun rushed outside the city, he looked at the big Zhao character hanging on the city, and knew that it must be Zhao Yun, the butcher who defeated Lejin outside Tan County last time.

Xiahoudun bullied Zhao Yun young, so he came to call for battle as soon as he came to lead the troops.

Hearing that Cao Bing was coming, three generals soon came up to the city of Changyi. At the head of the group was a young general wearing silver and white armor, and his face was upright. This person is Tao Ying's sworn brother Zhao Yun.

Next to Zhao Yun was also a young general, who looked less than twenty-four or five. The general held a long sword in his hand, and his eyes stared straight at Cao Cao's soldiers and horses calling for battle in the distance. At a glance outside the city, the Cao soldiers all over the mountains were like rushing flood beasts.

The general is Zhuge Jin, a Langya man who took refuge in Tao Ying in Tan County.

To the right of Zhao Yun was followed by a teenage child, who was not wearing armor, but looked like a little gentleman. This is the great strategist that Tao Ying attaches the most importance to - Zhuge Liang.

Looking at the soldiers and horses outside the city, Zhuge Jin said beside him: "General Zhao, the enemy must be tired when he first arrives, our army is waiting for work, and if we send troops at this time, we will definitely be able to defeat Cao Thief in one fell swoop." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, but Xiao Zhuge Liang next to him shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't think so." Look at Cao Jun, they just came, and their morale was high. And you see that this person is so neatly arranged, he must be the commander of General Cao Cao. When I was in Pengcheng, my father-in-law once said that Cao Cao had many good generals, and he should not underestimate the enemy at any time. ”

The two brothers came all the way, and they don't know how many disputes there were. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was talking about Tao Ying, Zhuge Jin was not easy to refute, so he couldn't say that what Tao Ying said was wrong!

And in Pengcheng, Zhuge Jin always felt that he was able to have such a smooth career, and most likely because he took up his younger brother's light. After the two brothers took refuge in Pengcheng, Tao Ying cared about Zhuge Liang very much, and even accepted him as his son, and Zhuge Jin didn't know what to call Tao Ying.

Zhao Yun looked at the enemy army outside the city, and it seemed that it was really as Zhuge Liang said. So Zhao Yun pointed to the outside of the city and said: "What my nephew said is very true, Cao Cao is scheming, I think it is better to defend the city and wait for the marshal to come before making a decision." Otherwise, Changyi will be lost again, and the marshal will definitely punish us heavily! ”

Zhao Yun spoke, Zhuge Jin sighed, it seemed that it was useless to say anything more, so he had to be silent in the city. In fact, the military horses of Zhao Yun and Zhuge Jin were originally separated. At that time, Zhuge Jin led the troops alone, and he was in charge of everything, he captured two cities in a row, and let himself be shot in the Northern Expedition.

However, a week earlier, Zhao Yun had attacked Changyi, the capital of Shanyang County. Changyi fought to the death, and Zhao Yun could not break it, which affected the morale of the army. Lu Bu wanted to punish him for his crimes, but when he heard that he was Tao Yingyi's brother, he could only endure it.

So Lü Bu sent Zhuge Jin to aid Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Jin had to lead his troops from where he was stationed to attack Changyi City.
