"Brother Xuan Gao, my father has also considered this for you."

Seeing that the time had come, Tao Ying took out a small box inlaid with gold and jade from his sleeve, opened it in front of the Langya generals, revealing an extremely ordinary key, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan Gao,

I believe I don’t need to explain what this key is for. But I must emphasize to Brother Xuan Gao that if Brother Xuan Gao takes over this key, he will immediately become one of Xuzhou’s three most important ministers. In the future,

No matter who the governor of Xuzhou is, Brother Xuan Gao, you are also one of the three important ministers who protect him. With your official position and high salary, you will naturally not treat Brother Xuan Gao badly."

"And generals." Tao Ying turned his attention to Sun Guan and Wu Dun and other generals, and said more sincerely: "You may not believe my smooth tongue, or even your father Xu Zhoumu, but I

I believe you must believe in General Zang Ba and Zang Xuangao! When Brother Xuangao becomes one of the three important officials in Xuzhou who sticks to his word, do you still have to worry that you will still be bullied and discriminated against by others?"

The Langya generals were moved by Tao Ying's words and felt that what Tao Ying said was true. If Zang Ba had a high position in Xuzhou, he would not have treated the Langya generals who were from a humble background badly. Therefore, the Langya generals unanimously turned their attention to Zang Ba.

Waiting for Zang Ba to make a decision. Zang Ba walked away in the sun with his head held high and said nothing for a long time. Tao Ying waited for a while, and seeing that Zang Ba was unwilling to make up his mind, he handed the box with the key directly to Zang Ba.

He solemnly said: "Brother Xuan Gao, this is my father's sincerity to you, my father's compensation to you, and my father's expectations for you. If you can accept my father's sincerity, compensation and expectations, please don't be polite and accept it.

Here’s the key.”

Zang Ba was expressionless and motionless, and everyone was standing in a stalemate under the scorching sun. Everyone was sweating profusely, but no one spoke a word.

After a long time, Zang Ba finally spoke, but instead of answering Tao Ying's plea, he turned his attention to the generals under the tent and asked in a deep voice: "Brothers, what do you think?"

"It all depends on Brother Zang's decision!" Langya generals responded neatly, and Wu Dun also added, "Brother Zang, you make up your mind, we will listen to you."

"Okay." Zang Ba nodded, finally turned his eyes to Tao Ying, and stretched out his hand, but just when Tao Ying was secretly happy and his heart beat faster, Zang Ba pushed away Tao Ying's hand holding the key.

He was also stunned for a moment.

"Young Master, I cannot accept this key for the time being." Zang Ba's next words made Tao Ying overjoyed, "However, if you can do one thing for me, the general will not only accept your lord's sincerity.

, you should also lead all the brothers to go south to Xuzhou and go to the city of Xuzhou to plead guilty to the Lord."

"Brother Xuan Gao, please give me your instructions. Tao Ying will do his best." Tao Ying replied quickly.

"Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, had always been on good terms with Ba, but unfortunately he was killed by the traitor Zuo Rong." Zang Ba put forward a condition that stunned Tao Ying and the Langya generals. "After the traitor Zuo Rong killed Duke Zhao, he took over Guangling.

Zang Ba wanted to go south to conquer the city several times, but the lord's soldiers and horses were guarded along the way. He was afraid that the lord would misunderstand and did not dare to go south, leaving the traitor Zuo Rong at ease until now. If the lord and the young master could march to Guangling and take the head of the traitor Zuo Rong,

Once I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish, I will definitely allow myself to be driven by my Lord and Young Master."

"When did Brother Zang become close friends with Zhao Yu?" All Langya generals were confused, thinking that Zhao Yu was a scholar and had always looked down upon us common people who had been bandits.

Son slandered our Langya Army, how could Brother Zang think of avenging him?

"What does Zang Ba want to do? Do you want to weaken the Xuzhou army, or do you want to evade the refusal?" Tao Ying was even more confused, but after finally reaching this point, Tao Ying could not turn back and waste all his previous efforts, so Tao Ying didn't even blink an eyebrow, and immediately

He raised his hands and said, "What Brother Xuan Gao said is absolutely true. Zuo Rong was a traitor and rebelled against the Lord. He killed court officials and brutalized Brother Xuan Gao's friends. I have been wanting to get rid of him for a long time, but the time is not yet ripe. Now that Brother Xuan Gao has opened the door,

If you tell me, I will personally send my troops south to offer Brother Xuan Gao the heads of the traitors Zuo Rong."

"In that case, I will be extremely grateful." Zang Ba cupped his fists and bowed. When he stood up again, Zang Ba was surprised to see that Tao Ying had already saddled the horse and turned the horse's head. Zang Ba asked hurriedly: "

Young Master, where do you want to go?"

"Of course I'm going to get the head of the traitor Zuo Rong for Brother Xuan Gao." Tao Ying replied seriously: "A gentleman promises a thousand pieces of gold. Since I promised Brother Xuan Gao, I should do it quickly."

"You are not in a hurry, right? The last general has prepared a banquet for the young master in Kaiyang City, and invited the young master to come to the city for dinner." Zang Ba was a little dumbfounded. He had never seen such an impatient person. The Langya generals next to him also started talking.

He asked Tao Ying to stay, and persuaded Tao Ying to rest in Kaiyang City for a few days before leaving.

"Food and wine are not required. I will bring dry food with you." Tao Ying said on his horse, "Brother Xuan Gao, if you want to treat me to a drink, please wait until I get Zuo Rong's head, and then we can drink and chat in Xuzhou City.

"

"Sir, why are you so impatient than me?" Zang Ba couldn't help but laugh or cry. Seeing that Tao Ying was resolute and insisted on returning to Xuzhou immediately to dispatch troops and generals to go south to quell the rebellion, Zang Ba had to change his words and said: "That's the case.

, please ask the general to send an army to escort the young master south."

"Thank you Brother Xuan Gao for your kindness." This was what Tao Ying was waiting for. He cupped his hands in thanks and said, "But no need. I have a hundred gentlemen riding with me on this trip, which is enough to protect my safety."

"One hundred gentlemen riding?" Zang Ba, Wu Dun and other generals were stunned, thinking that Tao Ying couldn't even count. He clearly only brought ten soldiers, how could he say he led a hundred gentlemen riding?

"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in Hezhizhou." Tao Ying suddenly opened his mouth and chanted.

"Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river island, a graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight." The ten soldiers brought by Tao Ying chanted in unison.

"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the River Island, a graceful lady, a gentleman is very brave." Something unbelievable happened to Zang Ba and others. In the woods beside the road, a neat and loud chanting sound suddenly came from,

"The assorted water plants are flowing from left to right. The fair and graceful ladies are longing for..."

"I can't get what I want, and I sleep hard and think about it. I am leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning. The water plants are scattered and picked from left and right. The fair lady is played with the harp and the harp. The water plants are scattered and planted from left and right. The fair lady is played with bells and drums..."

Accompanied by this neat chanting sound, one after another, the officers and soldiers of the Junzi Army, who were covered with leaves all over their bodies, led their horses and held the banner of the Gentleman, slowly walked out of the woods, and gradually gathered into a stream in front of Tao Ying, forming a neat queue, headed by

A hundred-man general strode up to Tao Ying, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said: "The last general, Nian Bin, has been ordered to wait for the young master here. The gentleman's army of one hundred cavalry has all arrived!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction. When he turned back to look at Zang Ba and others, Zang Ba and other Langya generals had all fallen into a state of stupidity. Apparently they still couldn't believe that there would be a hundred gentlemen riding, lurking behind

They were so close! And the thousand soldiers behind Zang Ba and others were in chaos, shouting and screaming.

"Oh my God!" Sun Guan suddenly screamed, "I was sleeping in the woods for more than half an hour just now, why didn't I notice it?"

"Danger!" reminded by Sun Guan's scream, Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Xi and other generals were all sweating profusely. Even standing under the scorching sun, their whole bodies felt cold - they were all just now

They all went into the woods to avoid the poisonous sun, but no one found the Junzi Army officers lurking, and many people fell asleep like Sun Guan - if the Junzi Army soldiers launched a surprise attack at that time, who could dare to imagine the consequences?!

"Brother Xuan Gao, don't blame me." What Tao Ying said next with a smile made Zang Ba and others unable to believe their ears. "Because bandits are rampant and I am greedy for life and fear of death, let these hundred gentlemen ride on them."

I lurked here last night to prevent bandits from ambushing me. I hope that Brother Xuan Gao will forgive me for any offense I have done."

Looking at Tao Ying's sincerely apologetic face, Zang Ba was stunned at first, and then he yelled, "Who was responsible for patrolling this place last night?"

"They are the scouts under the general's command." The unlucky Wu Dun quickly stepped out of the queue, turned to the team of scouts who had followed Tao Ying northward, and roared: "Xu Sheng, get out!"

"Xu Sheng?" Tao Ying couldn't believe his ears this time.

A Du Bo stumbled out of the Langya Army's scout team. He was in his twenties and tall. He quickly ran to Zang Ba and Wu Dun and knelt down on one knee. Before Zang Ba could speak, he took the initiative and said: "Qiu Zang."

General, the general was indeed in charge of the sentry here last night, but... I don’t know how the young master’s cavalry got here, the general deserves to die!”

"Trash!" Zang Ba raised his leg and kicked Xu Sheng in the chest, roaring: "Drag him down and kill him!"

"Slow down!" Tao panicked, shouted loudly, stood up and dismounted, rushed in front of Zang Ba, cupped his fists at Zang Ba and said: "Brother Xuan Gao, this is all my fault. I took the liberty of bumping into my brother.

I am willing to take full responsibility, but I only ask my brother not to anger innocent people and kill General Xu Sheng."

Xu Sheng, who was already ashen-faced, was shocked when he heard this, and turned his eyes to Tao Ying in disbelief. Tao Ying couldn't wait to smile at Xu Sheng, showing eight sharp fangs. Zang Ba saw that Tao Ying took the initiative to plead guilty, which was not good.

Tai refuted Tao Ying's face, so he had to change his words and shouted: "For the sake of the young master, I will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. You will be dragged down and punished with a hundred military sticks!"

"Brother Xuan Gao!" Tao Ying quickly spoke again, bowed to Zang Balian, and said nonsense: "Brother Xuan Gao, although this General Xu Sheng was not strict in his sentry, he should be severely punished to correct his brother's military law, but according to the younger brother

The soldiers reported that General Xu was actually very conscientious in his sentry duties. He almost discovered the traces of my younger brother Junziqi several times. However, he did not know the unique infiltration method pioneered by me, so he allowed my younger brother Junziqi to get away by luck.

.”

"What on earth do you want to do?" Zang Ba asked angrily.

"Please let this General Xu take the blame and meritorious service." Tao Ying said in shock: "Brother Xuan Gao, I am not bragging. Although my Junziqi has only learned 30% of the essence of my tactics, it is still enough to run amok. I am bold and want to

Please brother, please send General Xu Sheng to my younger brother's army to accompany my younger brother in the southern expedition against Zuo Rong. Firstly, I can observe my younger brother's tactics on the battlefield, and secondly, I can let him carry Zuo Rong's head back to Kaiyang and present it to my brother. I'm so shameless.

I beg you, and I hope your brother will do it."

Zang Ba was confused again, Xu Sheng was confused, Wu Dun, Sun Guan and others were also confused. Tao Ying sent a hundred gentlemen cavalry to lurk in this place. The purpose was obvious, to show off their force, and to ambush and intimidate Zang Ba.

At the same time, they can also take precautions in case Zang Ba and others suddenly turn against each other and take action - Zang Ba and others are all aware of this. But Tao Ying spared no effort to protect Xu Sheng, and even wanted to take Xu Sheng away.

Zang Ba and others didn't understand anything.

"Sir, could it be that you and Xu Sheng are old friends?" Zang Ba finally thought of a possibility and asked Tao Ying, pointing at Xu Sheng.

"No." Tao Ying replied with a wry smile: "I have never seen this General Xu Sheng, but... I just acted recklessly and got him in trouble, so I wanted to help him."

Having said this, Tao Ying turned to Xu Sheng, who was also confused, and showed a friendly smile like the big bad wolf seeing Little Red Riding Hood, "General Xu Sheng, I feel sorry for causing you to be punished for no reason. As compensation, I would like to teach you

I’d like to give you the Junzi Army’s secret infiltration method and unique sentinel detective skills, are you interested?”

"Xu Sheng is willing to..." Xu Sheng replied blurtly, but he quickly closed his mouth mid-sentence and glanced at Zang Ba timidly.

"Little Tao Ying, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" Zang Ba was suspicious. After some calculations, Zang Ba reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay, if you insist, I will follow suit. Xu Sheng, since the master and you

We are so destined, you go with the young master, and you will follow him from now on."

Xu Sheng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what to do for a moment, let alone whether he should be happy or worried. Tao Ying was overjoyed - he finally caught a barely decent accomplice and lackey, and he quickly bowed to Zang Ba.

, "Thank you Brother Xuan Gao for your generous gift. I will definitely repay you generously someday!"

"Xu Sheng, could it be that they have the same name and surname? It would be nice if I could remember Xu Sheng's name." Tao Ying was a little worried again. This Xu Sheng must not just have the same name and surname. If this Xu Sheng is not the same Xu Sheng, then he

But it would be a huge loss of face.

"Is this kid really capable of cutting off Zhe Rong's head?" Zang Ba also had such a doubt in his heart.
