In the long pavilion beside the Luoshui River, Cao Cao invited Liu Bei and Tao Shang to the long pavilion to say goodbye to them. When the wine was over, Cao Cao said that he would go to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers next, while Liu Bei said that he would go back to the plain to station.

In his heart, Tao Shang also made deeper plans for his future because of their words...

But the Tao merchant thought for a short time and was interrupted by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao raised the wine cup again and signaled Liu Bei and Tao Shang... Let's have another drink.

After each of the three of them drank the wine, they saw Cao Cao laughing and suddenly turned to Tao Shangyan and said, "Brother Tao, the dozens of ministers we rescued are now going to settle in the territories of various princes. This is the forced order issued by the leader the day before yesterday, and no one is allowed to refuse. I heard that Brother Tao has been assigned to Lord Situ and Huangfu Zhongcheng. Hahaha, these two great ministers, both civil and military officials have entered the yamen of your Tao family in Xuzhou... Your family is very lucky this year! Hahaha."

Cao Cao's words were clearly just to laugh at him and ridicule him... Tao Shang's eyes were so angry that he blew.

"Brother Meng De's words sound so resentful... Who are you assigned to?" Tao Shang asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao replied with a smile: "Sun Rui, the commander of the Eagle Harrier, is just this one, haha, compared to Wang Situ and Huangfu Gong's official positions, it is far inferior! You can't compare with Brother Tao."

The Tao merchant turned his head depressedly: "Where is Duke Xuande?"

Liu Bei spread his hands and said, "Bei can't be just a plain county magistrate. How can he have such a blessing to entertain the ministers and ministers in the court?"

This Liu Bei... Why does it sound sour inside and outside?

"Since Duke Xuande is so lonely, why... I'll give Wang Yun to you, what?" Tao Shang looked at Liu Bei expectantly, hoping that he could take Wang Yun away for a moment.

"It's better to be exempted!" Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand quickly, saying, "The Lord of the Three Dukes of Wang Situ, Bei can't bear it."

Cao Cao took a sip of wine, wiped the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said, "It's a joke, but Cao still has a golden and jade word to give to you Brother Tao."

The Taoist merchant turned his head depressedly to look at Cao Cao.

"The two nobles you assigned to Xuzhou are obviously afraid of other princes, and no one dares to ask for it. Yuan Benchu ​​and Wang Yun bully you young and have a weak voice... You need to know that Wang Situ is the supreme master of the three nobles, and is the leader of civil officials, and Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban bandits and made great achievements. He is a role model of military generals in the world, with great reputations in the world. Even Dong Zhuo was afraid of his achievements... What's more, he was the Shangguan of your father Tao Gongzu when he was in the past... After they arrived in Xuzhou, the brothers and the emperor must remember the principle that the strong guest did not suppress the master."

When Tao Shang heard this, he suddenly realized that none of these historical celebrities could deal with, and he gave you tricks every step of the way.

Cao Cao was considerate and thoughtful, so he had gained knowledge today.

"Thank you, Brother Meng De, for reminding me, Tao." Tao bowed and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

But Cao Cao raised his hand and took another sip of wine, and said generously: "Actually, Cao had wanted to find another person to come with him today! What a pity... it's a pity."

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and slowly put down the wine cup without saying anything. He obviously guessed the person Cao Cao was looking for.

Tao Shang sighed helplessly and said, "The person Brother Meng De is looking for is Sun Fujun?"

Cao Cao nodded helplessly and said, "Sun Wentai has already had a falling out with Benchu ​​and led his troops away... But in Cao's opinion, this person is still a hero! No matter what his nature is, at least when we are chasing Dong Zhuo together, he can be persuaded by brother Tao to go to the Bian River with Cao, and he is a man!"

Liu Bei touched his beard and said, "So, in General Cao's heart, there should be four heroes drinking together in this long pavilion today?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Not bad."

Liu Bei sighed: "Actually, there are countless heroes among the more than ten princes. Unfortunately, the alliance scattered in less than half a year. From then on, the Han court has been in chaos, which is really heartbreaking."

Cao Cao put away his smile and said word by word: "Mr. Xuande is really incorrect. Don't blame Cao for saying it bluntly. In my opinion, among the more than ten princes, there are only three of you and I, and Sun Jian... Only these four people can be called heroes! The rest of them, perhaps those with outstanding abilities, can only be called heroes!"

Tao Shang blinked and pointed at his nose with a wry smile: "Brother Meng De was joking, am I a hero?"

Cao Cao stared at Tao Shang with bright eyes and said, "Mr. Cao said, only these four people!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "No matter whether it is heroic or heroic, the shortcomings between the princes are revealed. I heard that the recent dispute between the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai and the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Mao had a disagreement, and there were hidden movements of swords and weapons... It seems that we can't stay here, the earlier we go, the better."

Liu Bei's words touched the heartstring of Tao merchant in a deceitful way. He raised his hand and drank the wine cup, bowed to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, "This is a good thing for Xuandegong to stay here. It's useless to leave as soon as possible... Tao took one step first, and there will be a date later."

After saying that, he left the wine cup, bowed to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and turned around and walked out of the Changting.

Looking at Tao Shang's departure, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "Young people are so anxious about everything they do. Even if they are anxious to leave, it will be better for a while... I don't know when the next time I meet..."

Tao Shang left Cao Cao and Liu Bei and hurried back to the camp, not for anything else, but because something in Liu Bei's words just now reminded him indirectly.

Liu Bei just said that the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai and the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Mao were in conflict!

If you remember correctly, shortly after Qiao Mao's death... Dongjun was attacked by the Yellow Turbans. It was this series of events and opportunities that prompted Cao Cao to settle in Dongjun and later received the surrender of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans with nearly one million family members. Cao Cao also received a large number of Yellow Turbans surrendered to him, gaining a huge population and production force, thus having the foundation for fighting for the world, and standing out from a lord who fought against wolves...

Yellow Turbans!

After returning to the camp, the pottery hurriedly ran to Huangfu Song's tent. If he wanted to achieve his idea, he had to ask for his help.

He lifted the curtain of Huangfu Song's tent, and the Taoist merchant stepped in, but suddenly he was stunned.

But seeing Huangfu Song sitting on the soft collapse, listening carefully with his chin, Xiaoyinger sitting opposite his desk, was telling him some interesting folk stories while wiping the table and incense burner. Huangfu Song stroked his beard and seemed to be very comfortable. "Xiaoyinger? What are you doing here?" The Taoist looked at Lai Yinger in confusion, not understanding what she was doing here.

After hearing this, Xiaoying'er turned her head over and stared at her unhealthy eyes for a while. Then she seemed to be a shadow of shadow and saw clearly that it was Tao merchant and said timidly: "Master Tao, Xiaoying'er is embarrassed to eat your meal for free. She just cleaned your tents and Mr. Wang. I heard that this is your uncle, so she came to help pick it up... He didn't mind."

Huangfu Song nodded to Tao Shang and said with a smile: "I see that although this girl has bad eyes, her hands and feet are quite quick, so she follows her kindness and asks him to clean up... Isn't it wrong?"

Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "Then there is anything to hinder, as long as the teacher is happy... If you are happy, you two will accept a grandfather and granddaughter and so on, which will be considered as a politeness to her."

Xiao Ying'er waved her hand quickly and said, "Mr. Tao, don't make fun of me, Xiao Ying'er's life is cheap, so how can she have that blessing?"

Looking at Xiaoyinger's timid look, Tao Shang touched the thing in his sleeve and felt a little moved.

Tao Shang smiled lightly, suddenly greeted Lai Ying'er and said, "Xiao Ying'er, come here."

Xiaoyinger said curiously: "What are you doing?" but she still walked over obediently.

The potter reached out and took something out of her sleeve, put it under her nose and shook it.

Xiao Ying'er sniffed hard, and a surprised expression appeared on her pale face, saying, "What... what does this smell like? It smells so good?"

The pottery smiled and said, "It smells good, this is malt sugar."

The development history of candy can be traced back to three thousand years ago. The word "光" appeared in ancient Chinese books in the Han Dynasty. Mat sugar was the earliest hard candy in Chinese history. It was first published in "Famous Doctors' Book". It was mainly used as medicine in the early stage, but some people used it to take it and taste it.

Of course, even sugar is not something that ordinary people can eat... Just these few pieces were sent to the pottery merchant yesterday to express their cousin's closeness.

Of course, the Tao merchant also sent Mi Fang to send Yuan Shao a sad gift, and it must be heavier than the gift he sent.

My heart and eyes have made the people of the aristocratic family grow up!

The pottery put malt sugar in Xiaoyinger's hand. Xiaoyinger happily held a piece in her mouth, and said vaguely while holding it in her mouth: "It's so sweet..."

"Is it delicious?" Tao Shang asked with a smile.

Xiaoying'er nodded vigorously.

"If you give your sister and wife a few pieces to eat delicious food, don't make it all by yourself. Let me know that the consequences are serious." The pottery pretended to be authentic.

Xiaoyinger raised her hand and wiped her nose, nodded heavily, and said, "I understand, Xiaoyinger will definitely do what Mr. Tao told me."

"Go back to your sister's wife, I'll tell the teacher something."

Xiaoyinger nodded, said to Tao Shang and Huangfu Song, and then knocked on the ground with a bamboo stick, and walked out of the tent.

Tao Shang turned his head, looked at Huangfu Song, and whispered: "Teacher..."

Since he officially learned military strategy from Huangfu Song, Tao Shang changed his words to call him a teacher.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Huangfu Song looked at him in confusion.

The Tao merchant took a deep breath and said word by word: "Before returning to Xuzhou, I want to send troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Yu Kou."
