88. Rong
I didn't resist, and let Lux suppress me, because I knew Tao Qian, Tao Qian's personality was upright and strong.
When he served as the assassin of Xuzhou, he was able to let the people of Xuzhou live and work in peace and contentment, free from the troubles of war, and tried his best to maintain the lives and peace of the people.
Tao Qian is considered to have a long life, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, he died at the age of sixty-three, and he was a mortal enemy with Cao Cao during his lifetime, and his final death was also related to Cao Cao.
Tao Qian has two sons, one is called Tao Shang and the other is called Tao Ying, and the two sons are not very promising, so there are relatively few records of the two in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
But from Tao Qiansan's request for Xuzhou to give Liu Bei, we can see the ability of these two sons, just imagine that Xuzhou is Tao Qian's use of most of his life, and the power that he has worked so hard to get will definitely be left to his son, but why did Tao Qian prepare to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei three times when he was about to die?
The main reason is because his two sons are relatively incompetent, and if Xuzhou is handed over to his son, he is afraid that it will lead to disasters for the people of Xuzhou.
Of course, Tao Qian must have thought about who to take over the power of Xuzhou, but the battle between the two sons also brought Tao Qian a lot of troubles.
For the sake of his descendants, he was also worried about the future life of all the people in Xuzhou, Tao Qian could only take refuge in Liu Bei and prepare to hand over Xuzhou to Liu Bei.
Of course, only in this way can he save the lives of his two sons and the safety of the whole family, so although Tao Qian is a big hero in history, Tao Qian's son is indeed more disappointing.
Such a task, not afraid of the heroes, how can he be afraid of Yuan Benchu?
I said, "Why did you arrest me?" ”
"Your brother-in-law killed Yuan Xing, the daughter of Duke Yuan, and the family fled, shouldn't this be killed?" Tao Gong shouted.
I laughed: "I have heard that Tao Gong is wise and powerful, but now that I look at it, it is nothing more than that!" First, that Yuan Gong forced my Zhen family to marry, but he was plotting the property of my Zhen family. Second, my brother-in-law is a local celebrity, and he has a good match in his heart, but Yuan Xing is aggressive, which caused the disaster of killing! Third, we left Shangcai, it was a helpless move, I just got married, if there is no major event, how would I think of leaving? But if I don't leave, my whole family will be killed! ”
I gritted my teeth and continued: "Third, I have killed 98 thieves and thieves along the way, I have been to seven county seats, 21 small towns, and 37 villages, saving nearly 100,000 people from Limin. ”
Tao Qian was speechless when he said these words, and he finally relieved himself and said, "Then why did you kill Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran?" ”
"The two of them want to kill my whole family, as a good man standing between heaven and earth, if he can't even protect his wife and children, then what's the use of the crotch and the next one?!" I let out a loud shout.
"Good!" Tao Qian immediately stood up: "Let go, I'll personally catch up with Xiongtu!" ”
"Tao Gong, what are you ......," I said, pretending to be confused.
Tao Qian laughed, his pale beard took the opportunity to tremble, "Xiongtu misunderstood, I knew that you had saved countless people along the way, but it's a pity that the distance was too far, otherwise I really wanted to help you!" I just want to see if Lin Xiongtu is as brave and righteous as rumored, but now that I look at it, it is indeed so! ”
"Thank you Tao Gong for your praise, I am sincerely afraid!" I arched my hand.
Tao Qian said: "You came here, didn't you receive Cao Mengde's payment for thieves?" ”
"No, I came on my own initiative." I said, "Dong thief caused chaos in the world, imprisoned the current saint in the palace, and now he is living in fire and water, as a Han Chinese, how can I sit idly by?" ”
"But you only have five thousand men with you." Tao Gong narrowed his eyes.
I secretly said that Tao Gong is very good, and he even knows my number, I am afraid that Tao Gong is different from the history books, which only say that Tao Qian is a virtuous lord, but it is not said that his soldiers know.
And everyone in the world also knows that Tao Gong has repeatedly sued for peace in order to avoid war for the people, so people think that Tao Qian is a nest person.
But in the troubled times, only a task like Tao Qian can live the hearts of the people.
"What about five thousand men and horses, even if it is one for one, I can reduce the enemy army by five thousand for you!" I laughed.
Tao Qian nodded approvingly, he took a sip of tea and said, "Then what do you think of this crusade against Dong Thief?" ”
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the status of the Han family declined rapidly, the power of various prefectures and counties rose greatly, and the struggle between He Jin, the general in the court, and the eunuchs became increasingly fierce.
All the contradictions broke out on the day of the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs and the mussels of the relatives competed, He Jin was in a different place, Zhang Rang and Duan Jue threw themselves into the Yellow River, and at this time, Dong Zhuo, who was originally entrusted by He Jin to enter Beijing to eradicate the eunuch forces, saw the wind and made a rudder, quickly changed the policy, and found the young emperor Liu Wei and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who were led out of the palace by the eunuchs by the Yellow River, and took the lead in controlling the opportunity.
Naturally, I can't say too deeply, that will be suspected, and I can't say too shallowly, I will be looked down upon, so I chose a pertinent sentence and said: "Unite as one, you will be able to break the thief!" ”
"Good!" Tao Qian nodded, but sighed quickly.
"Why is Tao Gong sighing?"
"Unity, it's easy to talk about, but it's hard to implement, and now the status of the Han family is going downhill, and the princes have their own ghosts, to unite, that's a fantasy!" Tao Qian said.
"I see that Tao Gong is currently bringing 8,000 people, and he has a bold idea." I looked at Tao Qian.
Tao Qian made a gesture of please: "Please speak!" ”
"Why don't I hang Tao Gong's Xuzhou banner in the middle of the battle?" I said.
Tao Gong laughed: "Sure enough, Xiongtu is not a mortal, if you let you hang my military flag, then Yuan Gong will not be able to attack you, after all, the counties have their own masters, in this case, I will give you to resist Yuan Gong's pursuit, and I will include your five thousand elite soldiers, which also strengthens our military might, it can be said that this is a win-win situation, and you Lin Tianwang can think of it!" ”
"That Tao Gong means ......"
"That's right, Xiongtu's reputation in Hebei doesn't need too much proof, if today's princes regard the lives of the people as mustard, they can be like Xiongtu, and they don't hesitate to spend their own military strength to suppress bandits, I'm afraid there are not many left!" Tao Qian said appreciatively, and he immediately said to Mi Fang, "Go and get my Xuzhou banner and give one to the Xiongtu army!" ”
"Yes!"
But at this time, a man in cloth clothes soon came over and said: "This move is absolutely impossible, Yuan Gong is the third prince of the fourth world, but we can't afford to offend, if Yuan Gong knows that we are harboring Lin Xiongtu and embarrassing us, then aren't we in a dilemma?" ”
"Zhenrong, do you have a good opinion?" Tao Qian said.
As soon as I heard the name Zhenrong, I had a rough idea that this person, on the one hand, is a famous leader in the history of Buddhism, a great benevolent person who talks about compassion all day long, but on the other hand, he is a demon who singles out those who trust him and are kind to him, and he is a standard white-eyed wolf.
This person is a standard bodhisattva with a demonic heart, and a person is hypocritical to the extreme, so it is estimated that this is the case.
In his hometown, he was known as a good person, and often gave some money to the temple believers.
During the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhenrong took hundreds of disciples under his command to seek refuge in his hometown Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, who was proficient in Buddhism and was also quite skillful, and soon won Tao Qian's trust.
Tao Qian admired this fellow very much, especially the good reputation of Zhenrong who didn't love money, so he appointed Zhenrong as the minister of Xiapi State, and at the same time was responsible for transporting the money and grain from Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng to Zhitan County.
The financial work of any group is controlled by cronies, Tao Qian trusted Zhenrong, but he didn't expect this fellow and good man to intercept all the money and grain of the three counties.
Tao Qian was very annoyed, but Xuzhou was facing Cao Cao's provocation, and Yuan Shu was also eyeing Xuzhou.
It can be said that Zhenrong ruined Tao Qian's opportunity to dominate the world.
Zhen Rong glanced at me and said: "We should tie it up, and when Yuan Gong arrives, give it to Yuan Gong, which is also a smooth sailing, and can send a favor, which is very helpful for our future relationship!" ”
