Liu Yu was a little surprised and softly said "Oh": "Your Tao family has been in decline for nearly a hundred years, and you are so poor yourself. How can he still believe that you have any family power?
Tao Yuanming said proudly: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you just don't understand this kind of intrigue among scholars. Sometimes they do all kinds of weird things to attract attention, but sometimes they pretend to be poor and poor.
Being strong is also a way to gain fame and reputation. Just like those who cause trouble are not really weird, and poor people may not be as poor as they appear from the outside. Just like me, when I see Wang Po, at least he can
One thing is certain, that is, I am indeed talented and full of knowledge. So where did all this knowledge come from? If I didn’t have a collection of books at home, how could I be like this?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Since the family has a collection of books, it must also hide other things, such as tribesmen, villages, food and grass, or even ordnance, weapons, and helmets, right?" Tao Yuanming nodded: "I swear, I
I didn't think of this when I wrote "Peach Blossom Spring", but Wang Po kept asking me, intentionally or unintentionally, how many relatives I still have in my hometown, how many clansmen are dead, etc. I didn't think about it at first. It was true, but the more I denied it,
, the more he didn’t believe it. Only later did I understand what he meant. He wanted to be released and become the governor of Jingzhou.
Liu Yu sneered: "With the Huan family here, how could it be his turn? However, Huan Chong died like this after the Northern Expedition, and his two sons also died soon. There was a vacancy in Jingzhou's power, and Huan Xuan also
He wanted to go back and take over Jingzhou, but Wang Po probably had other thoughts at this time.
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "That's right. The relationship between Huan Xuan and Huan Chong was not good. After Huan Chong died, Huan Shikang took over Jingzhou instead of returning it to Huan Xuan. This made the uncle and nephew lose face.
The harmony between the two was also torn, and Sima Daozi, who was in power in Beijing at the time, did not want to let Huan Xuan, who had a grudge against him, return to Jingzhou, so Wang Po felt that the opportunity had come. It was at that time that he confessed to me
As a guard of the Black Hand Universe.
Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed coldly: "He said that he had long determined that our Tao family still has great strength in Jingzhou and is hiding it in secret. Once the Huan family declines and Jingzhou changes, he will
He will take action to retake Jingzhou. He wants to cooperate with me, let him serve as the governor of Jingzhou, and I will help him secure this position, and then seize the resources left by the White Tiger line from the Huan family, so that he can truly become
The powerful white tiger.
"In exchange, after getting the resources of the White Tiger family, he can help me, the Tao family, to separate Jingzhou and become a big family like the Huan family that controls Jingzhou for a long time. The condition is that I also join the Black Hand Universe. From now on, the four major guards will control Jingzhou.
Liu Yu, who is one state and shares the world, nodded: "This condition sounds very good, but you actually refused it?
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If it were the Black Hand Universe five years ago, I don't think I would refuse. But what would be left of the Black Hand Universe at that time? A notorious dark organization that has been exposed to the world.
An alliance of aristocratic families that has been causing harm to the country and the people for a hundred years. More importantly, the Black Hand Qiankun at this time simply does not have the strength to let Tianshi Dao raise troops or let the Xie family form the Beifu Army. Wang Po is almost a polished general.
There is not a single soldier under his command, and the other guards have lost their own lives, not to mention how many resources they can inherit to their successors. At this time, Black Hand Qiankun is a burden that everyone wants to fight, and cannot help at all.
Why should I join a powerful organization that realizes my ideals?
"But Gu Zhongkan still wanted to join Liu Yu and laughed: Ah, is this where he is inferior to you?
Tao Yuanming sneered: "Yin Zhongkan thought he could make friends with Yang Quanqi and join forces to restrain Huan Xuan. He also thought that I would come forward to help him make friends with local scribes in Jingzhou. But he didn't expect that although Xiangxuan was not a white tiger, the Huan family was in Jingzhou.
Years of experience are not in vain. Even without any material benefits, just relying on the legacy of the disciples left behind by the Huan family after running in Jingzhou for decades, and the reputation of the Huan family in Jingzhou, it is not something that Yin Zhongkan can do.
Competitive.
"So Yin Zhongkan agreed to the king and first got the appointment of Jingzhou governor from Wang Xun. Wang Po and he also used each other because I refused to work for him. He wanted Yin Zhongkan to explore the way first, and he
Seeing that the time was right, he took action to seize Jingzhou, but he did not expect that Yin Zhongkan was more vicious than he imagined, and actually got rid of him and Xuanwu at the same time, and he became the last guard.
Liu Yu's
He frowned: "You don't even know about this matter and you weren't involved?
Tao Yuanming sighed: "I really don't know, otherwise I will definitely stop Yin Zhongkan. No matter how unbearable the Black Hand Qiankun is, at least a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The two guards will always have at least some connections that we don't have now.
resources. In order to avoid Wang Po's control, he directly attacked him. Then all the resources of the former Black Hand Qiankun were no longer under his control.
"Perhaps it was the previous intrigues and mutual killings within the Blackhand Universe that scared Yin Zhongkan. Maybe he felt that after he could control Jingzhou, he did not need other resources to guard it. In short, he committed this Blackhand, and then he wanted to rely on me.
Wu relied on Yang Quanqi and fought with Huanxuan to fight for Jingzhou.
Liu Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that the scholar Yin Zhongkan, who seemed to be a filial son, could be so shady and would not hold back any tricks. But, why did you betray him later? Help him defeat Ji Xuan and dominate Jingzhou.
, wouldn’t it be better?
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "He even kills his master Wang Po whenever he wants. If there is a conflict of interest with me in the future, how will he tolerate me? This person has no faith at all. I would rather surrender to Ai Xuan than
Help him.
So, I later came up with a new idea, to get rid of Yin Zhongkan, and then take the opportunity to seize the four guard tokens. While helping Huan Xuan enter the capital, I also found an opportunity to reorganize the Black Hand Universe. This is what is most beneficial to me.
a road.
Liu Yu laughed: "Then how did you deceive Yin Zhongkan and end up being defeated and captured?
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Yin Zhongkan has no roots in Jingzhou, and he wants to compete with the Huan family for popularity here, so I advised him to take advantage of the floods and famines to open the treasury and provide relief. In this way, it can be harvested
The people of Jingzhou are so popular.
Liu Yu was a little surprised: This was a good deed, how could it lead to his defeat?
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because Jingzhou had just suffered a disaster, and there was no harvest, he used military rations to relieve the disaster. No matter how grateful the people of Jingzhou were, they would not return the food to him. At this time, Huan Xuan sent troops to attack him.
