The fifth year of Zhongping, 188 AD.

Xuzhou. Xiapi. Governor's Mansion.

"Oh, what a bullshit rebirth, it doesn't even have a halo!"

"Without the dog system, there would be no golden fingers. How can a modern person who was born in the late Han and Three Kingdoms era get along in front of a group of ancients who are "more sophisticated than monkeys with their hair plugged in, and more sophisticated than humans with their hair plucked out"!"

"However, this is also a good era. At least if you have power, you can do whatever you want!"

Enjoying the full-body "wandering" massage performed by four young and beautiful maids with their delicate hands, Tao Ying secretly complained and sighed.

It has been three days since he traveled back in time. Tao Ying has slowly digested the memories of his predecessor and gradually adapted to his current identity.

"Tao Ying, courtesy name Chongguang, Tao Qian's legitimate son."

In the second generation of Tao Qian's lineage, there are two sons, the eldest son Tao Shang and the youngest son Tao Ying.

Tao Ying was also a depressed second-generation official and second-generation rich man who was submerged in the long history of the Three Kingdoms.

"Oh, what a pity the word 'Chongguang' is!"

"Chongguang" means that the sun and the moon are combined, and the meaning is self-explanatory.

Thousands of years later, a man named Li Yu also named him "Chongguang".

"Look at this person, he became the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

But look at Tao Ying again. He has been in this world for a while, and it is as if he has never been here before. In the entire dictionary of the Three Kingdoms, except for the word "Tao Ying", there is nothing left. It is as shabby as it is.

"He is also a second-generation official, let's look at Yuan Shu!"

Although Yuan Shu was rated by Cao Cao as a withered bone in the tomb, and he ignored his own abilities and proclaimed himself emperor and committed suicide, he was still glorious and famous in history.

But when they arrived at Tao Ying's place, not only did Tao Qian, his own father who "dominated Xuzhou", not pay attention to him, but even the gentry and big families in Xuzhou didn't take a serious look at it.

In the end, before Tao Qian died, he would rather give up Xuzhou to the "big-eared thief" Liu Bei three times than leave half of the land to his son.

After Tao Qian's death, both the pottery merchant and Tao Ying were lost in the dust and smoke of history.

"No, I have been reborn again. I must not make the same mistake as Tao Ying who only wandered around and did not do his job, and was a useless person all his life. I must change my destiny against the will of God!"

Since the fact of being reborn as "Tao Ying" is irreversible, Tao Ying is naturally unwilling to repeat the mistakes of history and let the "tragedy" that happened to the original owner happen to him again.

"It's good that it's Tao Ying. At least I can 'keep a low profile'."

"Being born in the troubled times like the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't meet the predecessors who are 'cheating', as a modern person, if you don't say sweep the world, you can at least dominate one side, right?"

Thinking of this, Tao Ying's initial timidity towards this "strange era" instantly dissipated, and a vigorous fighting spirit arose spontaneously, stirring wantonly in his chest.

"Although my family background is not as good as that of brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who are four generations and three princes, and it may not be as good as Cao Cao who is in a dormant state, but at least his starting point is much higher than that of Liu Bei, who is currently in decline!"

While enjoying the massage from the girl in Dongguan, Tao Ying repeatedly analyzed and deduced his current situation.

"Tsk, tsk, as the son of the governor of Xuzhou, this status is simply VIP treatment!"

The more Tao Ying thought about it, the more comfortable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Brother has abundant 'entrepreneurial' capital from the beginning, and his future is bright!"

In Tao Ying's eyes, he at least has a father like Tao Qian, who wants money, food, and territory.

"If you still can't figure out your own world, to be honest, for such a useless 'Tao Ying', I can find a jar of honey and poison myself to death without anyone else doing it!"

The resources for starting a business are abundant, and the starting point is not low. This is something Tao Ying is grateful for, and it is also the basis for future survival.

"There are just a few loyal people!"

This cannot be entirely blamed on Tao Qian. Apart from the fact that he dislikes poverty and loves wealth, is old and frail, and has no successors, the key point is that Tao Qian is a migrant from Xuzhou. He has just arrived, and his time to get used to the local powerful is too short.

"However, what does this matter? I am not the Tao Ying in history. I will never sit still and wait for death."

Now that it is five years since Zhongping, it is the best time to grab people's heads.

Of course, it is also the last opportunity to carve up the talent dividend.

"By the way, at this time, Zang Ba, who is also an outsider, is on the run in Donghai County, and a group of Taishan thieves such as the Sun brothers are also following him."

Tao Ying's eyes lit up when he thought of Zang Ba.

If the Yellow Turban Army can attack Xuzhou on a large scale again in October and cut off the Hu before Qingzhou and recruit the "Taishan Four Bandits", Tao Ying will have his own starting team.

"Oh, isn't it a bit taken for granted?"

Tao Ying secretly shook his head again. Although he was jealous of Zang Ba, he could not ignore history.

"If you don't have any strength, even if you recruit someone, you may still be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

After Zang Ba was recruited by Tao Qian, he did not treat him lightly. However, Zang Ba respected his own troops, separated from Tao Qian, and prevented Tao Qian from taking action against Langya Xiang Yinde.

"He is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely!"

If it were in the past, Tao Ying would simply understand that Zang Ba didn't like Tao Qian, so he chose Cao Cao.

But now, Tao Ying doesn’t see it that way.

Zang Ba was just borrowing chickens to lay eggs in Xuzhou. His ultimate goal was to become a prince.

"The reason why he finally took refuge with Cao Cao was that Zang Ba was at the end of his rope and had no chance to move."

Tao Ying's expression was ups and downs, uncertain, which made the four Dongguan maids who were massaging him tremble with fear.

"The father of a wealthy family is really hard to take care of!"

Girls know very well that if they work as slaves in an official's family, if their master is dissatisfied, they may be beaten or killed.

"Blessed by Bodhisattva!"

Tao Ying had no intention of paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the maids. He was still immersed in the war game of how to survive.

"At this time, Cao Cao, the former Prime Minister of Jinan and the Grand Administrator of Dongjun, has left Yanzhou and gone to Luoyang, where he became the Dian Military Academy Captain, one of the Eight Academy Lieutenants of Xiyuan."

Tao Ying first paid attention to Cao Cao's developments, because Cao Cao and Tao were destined enemies, and Cao Cao was closely related to Tao Qian's death.

"In April next year, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will pass away, and in September Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing."

What's going to happen next is, of course, that all the heroes will come together, and all kinds of ghosts and gods will appear in full force, each using their own means to carve up the big man's piece of cake.

"Although occupying Xuzhou is not a good card, it will not destroy the card."

With the relatively powerful backing of Tao Qian, and the "foresight" that he had for more than two thousand years, Tao Ying felt that if he could not only dominate the world, he would at least have no problem dominating one side.

"Some seniors said that as a time traveler, you must set your life goals in the stars and the sea, and you must not live in a corner of the world in the eyes of the world."

This sea of ​​stars is naturally a global village.

The so-called corner of the world is the "tiny place" of the big man in front of us.

Since it is a global village, naturally it is not just a big man.

There are also the vast grasslands in the north, where there are the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Fuyu, Yilou...

There is also the vast fertile land in the south, where there are Da Yuezhi, Tianzhu, Funan, Linyi...

There are also vast territories in the west, where there are Wusun, Kangju, Dawan...

There is also the boundless world in the east surrounded by the blue ocean...

"Everywhere where the sun shines, I want to conquer it; but I am not the Zhenwu Emperor or Ares, so there is no point."

Tao Ying pouted and gave up those unrealistic fantasies.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was not even a decent carriage, and the population was less than 60 million. Not to mention whether we could reach the lands we wanted to conquer in a year, even if we occupied these lands, we had to have someone to guard them.

"So, my ambitions are not high. If I can dominate the 'small land' of the big man, my trip is not in vain!"

The thought of dominating the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms made Tao Ying's blood boil. He sat up suddenly, clenched his fists, and trembled all over.

"Ah..."

Tao Ying's sudden reaction shocked the four restless maids to their knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Sir, spare your life!"

"My slave is wrong!"

……

Tao Ying, who was full of ambition, was suddenly stunned by a scene performed by four Dongguan girls, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Who is so cruel and doesn't know how to cherish fragrance and pity jade?"

Tao Ying's heart almost broke as he stared at the four pretty and charming maids.

"What's wrong with you? Get up quickly!"

"The four of you are experienced in massage techniques, and you deserve to be from Dongguan. When I am done with this busy period, I will take you to Dongguan for a visit!"

Tao Ying tried his best to make his tone gentle and gentle, and his eyes were as warm and bright as spring.

"Wow..."

The more kind Tao Ying became, the more frightened the four maids became. They kowtowed to Tao Ying regardless, with blood oozing from their foreheads, and they cried until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, heartbreaking.

"Damn, it looks like the old Tao Ying was really a beast. He didn't treat the maid as a human being!"
