Soldiers come to the world

Tao Lie never thought that Huang Yong would be killed by Liu Jing. For a moment, he was surprised and happy, but also worried. The shock was that the news came unexpectedly. He was not mentally prepared, so his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it. Staring at Liu Jing, he obviously lost his composure.

The joy is that Huang Yong has brought great troubles to the Huang family. He broke into Tao's mansion with weapons several times in an attempt to snatch Jiu Niang, smashed the door of Tao's house, injured Tao's people, and made Tao's house Encountered great humiliation in Chaisang, Tao Lie also hated Huang Yong, but there was nothing he could do. Hearing the news of his death today, how could Tao Lie not be overjoyed.

However, Tao Lie is a 70-year-old man after all, he has insight into the world and understands the pros and cons, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, once Huang Zu knew that his son had been killed, would he let the Tao family go?First, Liu Cong was injured, which brought endless troubles to the Tao family, and now Huang Yong was killed, which made Tao Lie even more confused.

After a while, Tao Lie asked again: "Are you going to tell Zhou Mu about this?"

Liu Jing nodded, "In a few days, I'm going to go back to Xiangyang, bring Huang Yong's head to the state shepherd, explain clearly how Huang Yong hurt Liu Cong, and prevent me from being framed by villains."

Tao Lie understood what he meant. The matter of Liu Cong's injury would probably be made up by the Cai family and planted on Liu Jing's head, so Liu Jing can't be careless about this matter. But then again, if Liu Jing explained it well Consummation, can you also solve this trouble for the Tao family?

But this thought was only fleeting, and Tao Lie then thought that Liu Cong was hurt by the Tao family after all, and it was a human root injury.

If a sum of money can be paid to settle this matter, it will be the Tao family's luck in their misfortune.

Thinking of this, Tao Lie felt sad for a while, he sighed and said, "I will keep the matter of Huang Yong's murder a secret, but this time I went to Soochow to mourn, so I decided to take Jiuniang away to avoid the limelight for now. In fact, it is for the son, please understand."

In fact, Liu Jing knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for Liu Biao to agree to marry Tao Zhan as his wife. This matter would inevitably lead to conflicts between uncles and nephews. so as not to affect his Chaisang plan.

Tao Zhan's temporary departure is really not a bad thing for him, Liu Jing, at least it can avoid the conflict between him and Liu Biao. This is especially important when he just took over Chaisang. Please, Mrs. Cai is blowing the wind on the pillow again, Liu Biao may not be able to stay awake.

Tao Lie has insight into people's hearts, and sent Tao Zhan away in time, avoiding the embarrassment of the Tao family between himself and Liu Biao, which shows Tao Lie's good intentions.

Moreover, Tao Zhan's mother passed away. According to filial piety, it is impossible for her to get married within a year. Thinking of this, Liu Jing finally nodded, "I just hope that she will be safe in Jiangdong and not be favored by some powerful person in Jiangdong."

Liu Jing let go, and Tao Lie's heart finally fell to the ground. He chuckled, "Don't worry! We also have a mansion in Soochow, I won't let her show up in public."

"Then when is the old Patriarch going to leave?"

"It's not too late. I plan to leave at noon tomorrow. Besides Jiuniang, her brother Tao Zheng will also go to Soochow with me."

Tao Lie suddenly felt that Liu Jing's silence seemed to be reminding him of something. He concentrated on thinking, and then he suddenly realized, and then smiled and said slowly: "I will go here for at least three months, at most half a year, but I have already told the eldest son At present, the Tao family is in charge of him, if you have any request, you can ask him, and the Tao family will help you."

Liu Jing nodded, that's what he wanted.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Before dawn the next day, Tao Zhan's mother was buried in a hurry amidst the cries of relatives. She was buried deep in Biyungang on the south bank of the Yangtze River. resting place.

After bidding farewell to her mother, Tao Zhan also boarded a boat to leave Chaisang for Jiangdong with her grandfather. At this time, Tao Zhan was full of sadness of parting, and she was reluctant to leave her mother and Liu Jing.

But she finally understood that staying by herself would only make it difficult for the family to face the conflict between Liu Jing and Liu Biao, and would also make Liu Jing offend her uncle for herself. She was reluctant, but finally boarded the big ship to Jiangdong.

On the big boat, Tao Zhan was dressed in a snow-white long dress, with beautiful eyebrows like daisy, eyes like water, plain face and black hair, without a single touch of modification, making her untouchable and beautiful like a fairy. The parting made her eyes full of sadness.

She stared at Liu Jing for a long time, his valiant and strong face made her feel an inseparable attachment in her heart, his bright and firm eyes made her feel infinite expectations, she looked forward to the day when she could be beautiful Just get married and marry him as his wife.

The big ship started and headed east slowly downstream. Tao Zhan stood at the stern, waved to Liu Jing, and bid farewell. At this moment, she finally couldn't help herself, and tears gushed from her eyes.

Standing on the shore, Liu Jing silently watched the big ship go away. The beautiful woman's long skirt at the stern was like snow, like a white lotus blooming in the summer afternoon.

Liu Jing slowly opened the plain paper in his hand, and a line of beautiful small characters appeared in front of his eyes: "Concubine's heart is like gold and stone, a sword cannot be broken, concubine's will is like a river, thinking of you will not turn around, I hope you will be a man, and promises are worth a thousand mountains." . '

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At the prefect's yamen in Wuchang City, Huang Zu slammed an inkstone on the ground, "Bang! 'With a loud bang, the inkstone shattered and ink splashed everywhere.

Accompanied by Huang Zu's thunderous roar, "You still have the face to come back, you lost your army, and Chaisang City was also occupied by Liu Jing. Do you know that I, Huang Zu, will die without a trace one day!"

Huang She knelt on the ground, dejected, and said nothing. He fought this battle really uselessly, not to mention the loss of [-] troops, and the Chaisang he rushed to rescue had been captured by Liu Jing. Zhou Ling was accused of collaborating with the enemy. He was executed by Liu Jing.

Huang She was terrified by his father's furious rage, so he had to bow his head and plead guilty, "The child is guilty, and I would like to be punished by my father!"

At this time, Jiang Qi, Huang Zu's chief aide, persuaded him: "Calm down your anger, the prefect. The change in Chaisang came so suddenly this time. No one would have thought that Liu Jing would seize power overnight by taking advantage of the Jiangdong Army's surprise attack on Chaisang. In addition, Chaisang City was blocked. According to the news, it is completely understandable that you don’t know the truth, and we have been fighting with the Jiangdong Army for many years, and the two sides have won and lost. This time, the Jiangdong Army has the upper hand, and it is normal for you to lose the army. Don’t blame the prince too much for the eunuch, he has indeed tried his best.”

In fact, Huang Zu didn't know that it was a bit far-fetched to shift the responsibility to the eldest son, but the loss of Chaisang made him extremely angry, and at the same time made him feel an indescribable fear.

Liu Jing's stealing Chaisang means that Liu Biao has driven a wedge into Jiangxia. Chaisang's strategic position is extremely important, which is much more serious than Yangxin County being occupied by Gan Ning.

In fact, if you want to blame, blame Huang Zu for being too careless. Knowing that Liu Jing is in Chaisang, he only left 500 people for Zhou Ling. This gave Liu Jing a chance, and the Tao family, if the Tao family does not support Liu Jing However, it is impossible for Liu Jing to seize the military power. Huang Zu's teeth itch with hatred, and he wished to cut that old man Tao Lie into pieces.

At this time, Huang Zu was full of anger, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he had to vent all his anger on his son.

Jiang Qi's persuasion calmed down Huang Zu's anger. He stared at his son viciously and asked, "Also, where did your brother go? Did you send someone to look for him?"

Huang She felt that his father's tone was a little slow, and said quickly: "My son sent someone to look for him, but there is no news yet. My son is a little suspicious. He may be imprisoned in Tao's house."

Huang Zu shook his head, "Impossible!"

Huang Zu knew very well that although the Tao family secretly helped Liu Jing, they did not have the guts to ask them to detain their son. Huang Yong would definitely not be in the Tao family.

Huang Zu thought to himself, "Could it be because he injured Liu Cong and knew that he had caused a catastrophe, so he hid himself and waited to get out of the limelight before coming out." '

Although this possibility is very likely, Huang Zu is still worried about another possibility, that is, his son is dead, and his son may go to Liu Jing and be killed by him. Huang Zu knows that Yonger will not let Liu Jing go, so Once Liu Jing seizes the opportunity, will he let his son go?

Huang Zu was extremely anxious. He was worried about his son's life and Chaisang's life and death. Both sides were suffering together, making Huang Zu's heart in a mess. He waved his son, "Go down first!"

Huang She got up and took his leave respectfully. After the guards cleaned up the pieces of the inkstone and the room became quiet, Huang Zu gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Qi, "I want to send troops to take Chaisang back immediately. What do you think?"

Jiang Qi was taken aback, and quickly persuaded: "The prefect must calm down, there is no harm in attacking Chaisang now, so don't be impatient."

Huang Zu was really impatient, he wished he could lead troops to take back Chai Sang immediately, but he was not Huang Yong after all, and his age was also at this point, Jiang Qi's words made him a little rational, and he asked again: "Why is there nothing wrong with everything?" profit?"

Jiang Qi sighed and said, "Now that Liu Jing has just defeated Jiangdong's army, his reputation is extremely high and his morale is high. If the prefect has few soldiers, he may not be able to take down Chaisang. Once the prefect invests heavily in Chaisang, Liu Biao or Jiangdong will seize the opportunity. , which is one of them.

Secondly, Chaisang belongs to Jiangxia, and many of the soldiers have relatives and friends in Chaisang. If the prefect attacks Chaisang for no reason, it will give the prefect a bad name for rebelling against Jingzhou, and at the same time, it will also arouse the resentment of the soldiers. unfavorable.

In the end, attacking Chaisang means that the prefect and Liu Biao have completely turned against each other. Is the prefect ready? "

Every sentence of Jiang Qi's persuasion pierced Huang Zu's heart, and Huang Zu finally calmed down. After a long while, he asked bitterly: "Then what should I do? Just watch Chaisang being stolen by Liu Jing? "

Jiang Qi smiled slightly, "I think the prefect's top priority is to reconcile with Liu Biao, stabilize Liu Biao, and get the Cai family's help. No matter what, he can't turn his face against Liu Biao, and he can't let Liu Biao find an excuse to send heavy troops to Jiangxia. Opportunity, once the opportunity comes, we can take Chaisang instead of attacking, as long as our army enters the city, then Liu Jing will be defeated."

Huang Zu finally listened to the advice, he nodded slowly, "As long as I can save Jiang Xia, so what if I pretend to be a grandson? I'll leave for Xiangyang tomorrow."

"Isn't the prefect afraid of being detained in Xiangyang by Liu Biao?" Jiang Qi asked worriedly.

Huang Zu shook his head, and laughed dismissively, "Who else knows Liu Biao better than me? If he dares to detain me, he won't be Liu Biao."
