Today, Tao Qian's speech was indeed too erratic, and this sudden sentence made everyone surprised.

Tao Qian's identity, his actions in Xuzhou, and what he said are very self-contradictory. Tao Qian arrived and settled the place, and repeatedly invited local celebrities to assist. Zhao Yu, Xiao Jian, and Xu Fang were all invited out of the mountain by Tao Qian's soft and hard work.

What is even more exaggerated than these three is Zhang Zhao, who followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong, Tao Qian once invited him to Tan County, but after the interview, he was still rejected. Tao Qian therefore detained him, and if it wasn't for Zhao Yu's rescue, he might have been killed long ago.

It can be seen that Tao Qian really attaches great importance to celebrities.

Now that I suddenly say this, is it because of the resentment in my heart?

The most sensitive to this topic is Zhuge Liang, the identity of the scholar clan, which was once an obstacle between him and Qingzhou. Because of this, after receiving Shi Tao's invitation, uncle Zhuge Xuan and brother Zhuge Jin refused on the spot without hesitation, Zhuge Liang ran away by himself.

After staying in Qingzhou for more than half a year, Zhuge Liang gradually adapted to Wang Yu's thinking, but he still thought that Wang Yu was a strange person, and he was afraid that no one would have the same concept as him. Who would have thought that Tao Qian, who is known for his old and calm appearance, would reach an agreement with Wang Yu in this regard.

He looked at Tao Qian with great curiosity and didn't ask, because he knew that he didn't need to, and the old man was going to complain tonight.

"You guys must be weird, right? In fact, there is nothing strange about it, the old man is a poor man...... Oh, maybe it's not even a humble background......"

Tao Qian smiled bitterly and said a sentence that brought even greater surprise to everyone.

You must know that before the chaos in the first year of Zhongping, the upward channel of Hanmen was very small. It's almost negligible. The war has brought pain to the people of the world, but it has brought opportunities and hope to many children from poor families.

Tao Qian's eunuch journey is very smooth, smoother than many celebrities from famous families. From Maocai, to Shang Shulang, and then released from the center, he successively served as the commander of Shu County and the commander of Lu County, and then moved to Youzhou to assassinate the history and pay homage to Lang. The whole trajectory has been on the rise.

Of course, there are capable factors in this, but in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the family's strength behind him, he wouldn't have been able to do so smoothly. Thousands of years of conventions and habits, is not the same? What's more, the more you are at the end of the dynasty, the more stubborn you are to stick to the old school. As a grassroots person, how easy is it to get out of the thorns?

If what Tao Qian said was true, then Wang Yu felt that the old man's experience was more inspiring than the most famous grassroots Liu Bei. The latter's methods can't stand scrutiny in the end, no matter whether they succeed or not, the singular number has been pitted by him over the leaders and bosses, and almost all over the Three Kingdoms.

Relatively. Tao Qian is a down-to-earth grassroots step by step.

However, with Tao Qian's explanation, Wang Yu quickly understood where the other party's wry smile came from.

Tao Qian's experience can indeed provide imagination space for the grassroots in later generations, and his help in his career. It came from the wife family. The Cangwu Gan clan is a local noble family, but the head of the family, Gan Gong, only has a daughter, and has never had an heir.

Of course, it is impossible for a large family to be without a man, but there is no such thing as a success. There is potential. Gan Gong pondered, anyway, that's the case. Instead of finding someone in the clan to make do, it is better to simply use your daughter and recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business.

picked and picked, and picked Tao Qian, who was born from a humble background and had the name of Ren Xia.

In this way, Tao Qian became the most enviable of future generations, married a good daughter-in-law, and struggled for decades.

Of course, the Gan family is only a local hero, at most it can only provide Tao Qian with a starting point, and it will depend on Tao Qian's own efforts in the future. But on the other hand, if it weren't for the court pattern of the high-grade Wuhan scholars in the late Han Dynasty, Tao Qian would have been able to make a difference without the help of the Gan family.

Hearing this, Wang Yu began to understand Tao Qian's dissatisfaction with the gate valve system.

From ancient times to the present, door-to-door sons-in-law are not easy to do, Chinese traditional machismo is important, and those who eat soft rice are very beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, but there are many unknown sufferings.

Wang Yu didn't know Tao Qian's family situation, but he had witnessed Niu Fu's miserable life, that Gan Gong would definitely not be as arrogant as Dong Zhuo, but in the Gan family, Tao Qian would definitely be an enemy.

Lao Tao's hatred of the gate valve system was born from this.

"Gongjie is rampant in Hanoi, although everyone says on the surface that he does not respect the laws of the court and disrespects the scholars, but in fact, everyone knows that he is forced to be in a hurry, there is no money, no food and no reinforcements, what do you want him to take?"

After talking about his own business, Tao Qian brought the topic back to Wang Yu: "Later, Peng Ju brought you to the east and took the opportunity to incorporate the powerful alliance, others only said that you were cunning, but the old man could see that you were different from Gongjie, you did not take the warriors into account at all." ”

Wang Yu was stunned, Tao Qian should be referring to killing Han Hao by himself, he didn't think much about it at that time, that is, if someone provoked him, he would kill him, and the money and food that his father could easily grab could not fall into the hands of others. is such an idea, in Tao Qian's eyes, but it has become a proof that he has no opinion, and Wang Yu also thinks it is quite amazing.

"In the second year of Zhongping, Liangzhou Bianzhang and Han Sui rebelled, and Huangfu Yizhen and the old man led the army together, and before they made any contributions, they were framed and dismissed by the traitors of the DPRK and China. People at the time said that Huangfu Yi really offended Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, but no one who really knew the current affairs and the situation didn't know that the opponent of the Ten Standing Servants at that time was the Scholar Party of the Outer Court, so what did Huangfu Yi really have to do with it? ”

Tao Qian mentioned another secret matter in an indignant tone: "In fact, Zhang Boshen, who was fortunate enough to enter with his family background, was jealous of Yizhen's military exploits, and moved his hands and feet in the back, making Zhang Rang and others mistakenly think that Yizhen was the backbone of the Shi Party, and was planning to wave his troops back to Beijing and do the things of the Qing Jun, so he fabricated the name and attacked the ......."

Wang Yu was indifferent when he heard this, but Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang looked at each other in great surprise.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion dealt a very heavy blow to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but with the Zhang Jiao brothers being swept away by famous generals such as Huangfu Song, the situation may not be without hope of restoring calm.

The reason why it fell to the point of smoke and the prestige of the imperial court was no longer there, and the continuous war in Xiliang played a very key role.

In the second year of Zhongping, after Huangfu Song resigned. Zhang Wen was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry, and on the holiday, he led more than 100,000 troops to the west to defend Sanfu. This battle was fought for more than a year, and in March of the third year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen's army was still stranded in Chang'an and did not return, which made the surrounding areas of Luoyang extremely empty, but the situation of Sanfu never improved.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the Xiliang rebels were led by the kingdom. When he made a comeback, Han Ting could only give Huangfu Song an empty title, plus Dong Zhuo, an assistant and deputy general, and let him go to Xiliang to quell the rebellion.

Zhang Wen's army of more than 100,000 not only did not play a role at all. It also added a great burden to the Han court after the chaos, and also created an opportunity for Dong Zhuo to expand his strength.

On that day, Emperor Fu Yizhen left office, and after Zhang Boshen arrived, he was not busy rectifying the soldiers, horses, grains and grass, nor fighting the rebels, but played the balance of power in his own camp. That's right. Just play! He was worried that the old man and Sun Tai would have trouble with him because of the emperor's righteousness, so he vigorously promoted Dong Zhuo and wanted to train him to become a confidant......

Tao Qian sneered: "Of course, this is also because Dong Zhuo has enough filial piety. As a result, in the end, even the equipment of the Northern Army was not as strong as Dong Zhuo's. However, wait until there is a battle. Dong Zhuo has suffered repeated defeats without losing his strength...... On this ground, Sun Tai determined that he had a heart of disobedience. persuaded Zhang Wen to get rid of him, but he was repelled on the spot......"

"Lasted for more than a year, only sporadic battles, and in the end, it was the two thieves of Bian and Han who were weak in their hearts, and handed over the table, Zhang Wen was full of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and returned triumphantly. At that time, the old man was also in the army, and he had seen with his own eyes the convoy that parted ways on the way home...... There were twenty carts of treasures alone, and there were innumerable other things of money. ”

Tao Qian sighed again and again, and exclaimed sadly: "Zhang Boshen is ranked among the third dukes, a very popular minister, will he be a fool who doesn't understand anything?" How could he not know that the surrender of the Xiliang traitors was just a delaying tactic, and when the army retreated, it would definitely be repeated? In fact, he understands, he knows better than anyone else in his heart, but the soldiers are in danger, fighting with the rebels, and the victory or defeat is uncertain. ”

"When he made a decision, what he thought about was not the safety of the Han Dynasty and the safety of the world, but the wealth and future of the Zhang family in Nanyang!" These words have been depressed in the old man's heart for a long time, Tao Qian was very excited when he spoke, and he was also out of breath after speaking, which made people subconsciously worry about him.

"The old man has nothing to do, not to mention affecting the princes in the court, but the big and small families in Xuzhou are already in a hurry...... Fortunately, with you, Pengju! Raising his eyes to look at Wang Yu, the old man's eyes were blazing.

Wang Yu took a deep breath to digest the large amount of information in Tao Qian's exclamation.

Obviously, after Tao Qian entered Xuzhou, the entanglement with local celebrities was not as simple as imagined. Lao Tao should have also used a lot of means to divide and win over, trying to weaken the influence of these gate valves, and then build Xuzhou into what he expects.

The result, of course, was a failure.

After spending the time when the ignorant were fearless at the beginning of the crossing, Wang Yu had already deeply realized the deep roots of the scholar clan in this era.

Being an emperor is very simple, if you give up your principles and make certain compromises to the family, you will be able to dominate the world within ten years and achieve the hegemony of the dynasty. But it is much more difficult to change the scholar system, even with the current strength of Qingzhou, it can only tremble step by step, and if you make a mistake, the undercurrent that has been suppressed will gush out, destroying everything that is currently being built.

This is the case with this as a traverser, how could Tao Qian solve such a problem?

Facing the old man's expectant gaze, Wang Yu looked back calmly and replied solemnly: "The little nephew understands." ”

"That's good." Without saying anything, Tao Qian had no intention of continuing the topic, and waved his hand tiredly: "In this way, the old man will be relieved." Although the current situation in Xuzhou is complicated, as long as the key points are found and the priorities are clearly distinguished, it will not be difficult to solve it. ”

"Yes." Wang Yu understood what the other party meant, although there were many forces involved in Xuzhou, but if it was divided into camps, or classes, the situation would be much clearer. The way to deal with it is to grasp the key points and solve the problem by using methods such as driving away the wolf and killing people with knives, rather than forced.

This was something that Wang Yu didn't expect before he left for Xuzhou, and after Tao Qian's prompt, he suddenly became enlightened.

"There are many loyal soldiers in the city, and Pengju can select them by himself and appoint them as appropriate." The block in his heart poured out, and Tao Qian's spirit weakened a lot, and he no longer had the impassioned momentum he had before.

"Yes." Wang Yu understood that tonight's matter, Tao Qian also had the intention of taking the opportunity to recommend these veterans.

Later generations said that Tao Qian pacified Xuzhou and protected the territory from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they all liked to give credit to Zang Ba. Now he knows that when Tao Qian first arrived in Xuzhou, he came to clean up Zang Ba together, but the bandits were too cunning and he couldn't suppress them, so he changed to the way of appeasement.

The Taishan thief is certainly very powerful, but if he underestimates Tao Qian and his Xuzhou army, it is also a big mistake.

"The money and grain of Xuzhou are not only hoarded in Xiapi, but also in the mountains to the east, the old man has also built several granaries, among which the money and grain are enough for the army of 10,000 people for three years......" Tao Qian's middle qi is getting weaker and weaker, but he is holding on and refusing to rest, and he confesses to Wang Yu one by one, all of which are the backhands that he has secretly laid out in the past two years of Taoguang's obscurity.

Wang Yu walked in front of the old man, sat precariously and listened, Tao Qian said a word, he nodded, promised, and his heart was sad and shocked.

The main purpose of his visit this time is to see the last of the old man who has been selflessly helping him, to meet the other party's wishes, and he has little hope for Xuzhou. Who would have thought that the old man secretly hid so many back hands.

The money and grain are already very remarkable, God knows where Tao Qian saved so much money and grain, and no one knows about it. The elites of the county soldiers are still not to be underestimated, you know, they are all veterans of a hundred battles. In addition to the army's money and food, there are also some secret spies hidden in the shadows, which are several times stronger than those novices sent to Xuzhou by Qingzhou!

Etcetera.

Don't look at Xuzhou being in chaos now, but Wang Yu believes that as long as he receives these things left by Tao Qian, he doesn't need to transfer troops and grain from Qingzhou, he can hold the East China Sea, and it will take a year or two to pacify Xuzhou.

The only thing Tao Qian didn't expect was the betrayal of the Cao Bao brothers, but this is also unthinkable, who can not miss something negligently?

After explaining them one by one, Tao Qian was already angry, and if he didn't put it to his mouth, Wang Yu could hardly hear what the other party said. He knew that the last moment was coming, seeing that the old man was still struggling to say something, Wang Yu also tried to lean down to listen, at this moment, he only felt that the placket of his clothes moved, and a rather heavy thing fell to the ground, making a loud 'bang'.

"This is ......" Tao Qian's eyes lit up suddenly, and his breath became heavier.
