Chapter 54: Troops Arrive at Jinan
Perhaps seeing Wang Lang's hesitation and indecision, Tao Ying no longer neglected Wang Lang, stepped forward and bowed to Wang Lang, and praised him.
"Wang Zhizhong is well-versed in the classics and is a good talent in governing the world. It is well known to all scholars in Xuzhou. Even if he is ranked in the third prince in the future, it will not be unusual."
"There are too few talents that should be used now. Such great talents and talented people are the ones that are what they want, but Xuzhou cannot do without Zhizhong, so he dare not ask for it."
Wang Lang felt relieved, and his waist naturally straightened a little.
"Tao Chongguang still has some vision. Of course, I, Wang Lang, are not worse than Buzishan!"
Especially when he heard Tao Ying evaluated that he was qualified to be ranked in the third official position, it was treated with ten thousand stones, and the golden seal and purple ribbon were naturally much more skillful than a prefect of two thousand stones. How could Wang Lang not feel comfortable?
"The governor of Tao County praised him. Lang's talent is not qualified to be the third minister. He still has to study hard and practice hard. In the future, he will be full of ambitions to be the prefect of a county."
Seeing that Wang Lang was in a better mood, Tao Ying took the opportunity to put forward some suggestions for Xuzhou.
"Zhizhong understands Dad Ying. He is old and has ambitions, but he is no longer able to do so. He is a little too conservative."
"In the future, if Qing and Xu are integrated, if Zhizhong can vigorously promote Taishan County experience in Xuzhou and boldly promote and appoint some great talents including poor families, within three years, Xuzhou will inevitably be in great governance. In the upcoming chaotic times, it will become a paradise that the people of the world yearn for."
"Troubled times? The world is in chaos?"
Not to mention Bu Zhi, Wang Lang, even Xu Sheng, who had just joined Taoying Group, was still confused.
In the eyes of these people, although the wars and disasters are everywhere, and the wind and rain are shaking, it will not be in chaos.
"Mr. Tao, why did you conclude that the world will be in chaos?"
Wang Lang spoke out loudly, had doubts, and asked questions.
"Oh, isn't this forcing me to be a charlatan again?"
Tao Ying's deep eyes flashed through Wang Lang, Bu Zhi, and Xu Sheng's faces one by one. He wanted to say that he came from later generations, but that would definitely be beaten to death by someone as a psychopath.
"When I was looking at the celestial phenomena in Xuzhou, I suddenly found that the Eastern Emperor Star was dark and dull, with a sign of falling, and the Western Sirius Star was burning sharply, and there was a risk of deceiving the master. If you read it correctly, in April next year, the court may undergo a major change, and the world will fall apart. It is another sign of the battle for hegemony among the princes and the devastation of life!"
Tao Ying's words made Wang Lang stunned, and then a little disappointed.
"How come Tao Chongguang learns the Taoist priest Xiang Kai's style? Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, just ended up committing suicide because he believed in the so-called celestial phenomena!"
Tao Ying saw that the faces of several people were complicated, and he seemed to not believe him very much, and he was too lazy to continue talking about this topic with them. Anyway, it will be less than half a year before April next year, and the authenticity will be revealed soon, so there is no need to talk.
"I won't mention this for now. I want to ask Wang Zhizhong. There are still several talented people in Xuzhou who are idle at home. If Xuzhou cannot be used for the time being, please recommend it to Taishan County or Qingzhou."
Tao Ying was unwilling to mention the celestial phenomena again, and Wang Lang would not waste his saliva on this nonsense, so he followed Tao Ying's people.
"Mr. Tao has taken a fancy to those hidden talents. Lang is a master of Xuzhou, but he doesn't know?"
Although Xuzhou is big, there are not many truly talented people. Wang Lang cannot tell these people well, but he is almost inseparable.
"Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin from Yangdu of Langya."
"Pengcheng Zhang Zhao, Yan Yan."
"Pei Xuan, the prime minister of Xia Pi, Lusu, Dongcheng."
"Guangling Weijing, Hailing Lu Dai."
Tao Ying didn't keep it a secret. These talents have been witnessed by history. Tao Qian didn't want them. He had to start early, otherwise he would go to Jiangdong to carry out construction.
"Uh..."
As Tao Ying's personal name emerged from his mouth, Wang Lang was stunned, and Bu Zhi was also stunned.
Tao Ying just mentioned the people scattered in various counties in Xuzhou. Most of them knew about them, and some were quite familiar with each other.
Especially Zhang Zhao, Pengcheng, even the governor Tao Qian, did not agree, and Tao Qian was about to take tough measures against him.
"Lord, the Wei Jing and Wei Ziqi in Guangling are familiar with Zhi. Zhike personally wrote a letter to attract the help of the Zhike."
Bu Zhi and Wei Jing are the same age, and they often interact with each other, recite the various schools of thought together, and appreciate each other. Now that he has a way out, he will naturally not forget each other if he is rich or noble.
"Lord, Lu Daisheng, Hailing, is also familiar with it, but Duke Lu Ding is now an official in Hailing County, and it is probably not easy to recruit him."
The people mentioned by Tao Ying are familiar with Bu Zhi and Xu Sheng also knows them. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
"Okay, Weizi Banner is strong and loyal, with extensive knowledge, and can be at least the guardian of one county!"
"Dong Lu Ding is loyal to the country, is well-managed in governance, is civil and military, and can also be the magistrate of a county! Now he is only for a county official, and his talent is useless."
Tao Ying was very happy. This era is good. As long as one person can be handled, they often pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and accordingly, they can handle a lot of people.
"Zishan, Wen Xiang, these two people will be entrusted to you!"
"No!"
Bu Zhi and Xu Sheng were also happy. Who doesn’t like to have more friends around you?
Wang Lang felt that he was one step slower, but if he could handle Zhang Zhao for Tao Ying, Lu Dai would be much stronger than the nameless Wei Jing.
"When the governor of the county, when the governor returns to Xuzhou, the rest of the people will be recruited as governors."
Tao Ying grabbed Wang Lang's hand and stared at Wang Lang with eager eyes. No matter how you look at it, Zhang Zhao and Lu Su, they are all talented people.
"I should ask the king to come to the imperial examination!"

Qingzhou.Jinan Country.
Ji Ling led a large army across Chi County, followed Chen Deng's advice, and rushed all the way, first blitzing into Licheng.
Xu and the three troops of the Yellow Turbans, who were entrenched in Licheng County, did not expect that Taishan County would suddenly send troops and were caught off guard by Ji Ling's Xuanjia Army.
Except for a few Yellow Turban soldiers who fled to Dongpingling, Xu San was killed by Ji Ling at the last battle, and all the others surrendered.
With the experience of recruiting Taishan County, Ji Ling copied the situation and handled Licheng County's affairs very easily.
"Yu Junhou, I'll leave Licheng to you for the time being!"
Tao Ying had issued a policy to temporarily implement military control in Jinan. Ji Ling followed Chen Deng's advice and left Yu Zi's Xuanjia Army in Licheng. While staying with the remaining officials in Licheng, he cleared out the remaining Yellow Turban bandits in the county.
Of course, the reason why Chen Deng attached importance to Licheng is because the geographical location of Licheng is too important.
Occupying Licheng, you can defend the plain counties to the west, guard the rear of Chi County to the south, and relieve the worries of the Jiling army to the east.
"Driving!"
After hurriedly explaining Yu, Ji Ling continued to lead a large group of troops and headed eastward without stopping to Dongpingling County, Jinan's capital, where Xu He's old nest was.
...
The news of the sudden dispatch of troops in Taishan County spread, as the soldiers fled from Licheng spread, the Yellow Turban soldiers entrenched in the Dongpingling area knew about it, and the unprepared Qu general Xu He was a little panicked.
"This idiot Xu San, who sent troops in Chi County, did not get any news in advance, and he deserved it!"
Although I have never really seen the power of the Taishan Xuanjia Army, as the spy sent by Xu He to Taishan County to repay, the Xuanjia Army is different from the Han army in other places. It is not only well-trained, well-equipped, but also has extraordinary combat power.
If it weren't for this news, Xu He, who had a lot of people, would have sent troops to Taishan County long ago. After all, Qingzhou has no more robbed things.
At present, in Qingzhou, in addition to Jinan, Sima Zu is in Le'an Kingdom, Zhang Rao is in Qi next door, Guan family is in Beihai County, and even Pingyuan County next door, not only other Yellow Turbans are copying, but also Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Wuhuan people burned, killed, looted, and Xu He couldn't get any oil and water.
"The Han army is in great power, what should I do?"
Already afraid of the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, Licheng has been blitzed and Xu San has died in battle, leaving Xu He walking back and forth in the big tent.
"Master Qu, according to the brothers who fled back from Licheng, the Xuanjia Army in Jiling in Chi County has only more than 10,000 troops. As long as we step up preparations and defenses, we ask Zhang Qu, who has moved troops to Banyang, Qi, for help. At the same time, we will attack the Han army of Jiling in Jinan. "
Seeing that Xu He was a little confused, the deputy general looked at him with a hint of contempt and hurriedly gave Xu He some advice.
"Okay, immediately mobilize all the Yellow Turban brothers and tell them that in Taishan County, there is a lot of food and winter clothes. As long as the Han army of Jiling tribe is annihilated in Dongpingling this time, those things will be ours."
After listening to the advice of the deputy general, Xu He's nervous mind calmed down a little, and he immediately had a countermeasure.
"Send a fast horse and immediately ask for help from Zhang Qushuai of Qi, and work together to encircle and annihilate the Han army in Mount Tai."
The north of Dongpingling is the Jishui River, and Xu He is no longer able to retreat north.
It is not realistic to move eastward. The northeast is Sima Ju's territory, and the southeast is Zhang Rao of Qi's territory. If he goes, he not only has to rely on others, but may also end up being annexed.
"It seems that the only way to fight the Han army of Jiling's troops is to have a decisive battle!"
After the deputy general left, Xu He, who had already made decisions, did not dare to procrastinate and asked someone to help him put on armor and prepare to fight Ji Ling.
"Hmm?"
Xu He left the tent and didn't take two steps. Suddenly, he found that the atmosphere around the tent was very strange. The Yellow Turban soldiers who looked at him all looked terrified in their faces, their bodies were trembling with naked eyes, and they looked anxious all day long.
"This is..."
Xu He was stunned, reacted quickly, quickly climbed up the city tower, and looked out into the distance.
"Ah!"
Xu He, whose face changed drastically, screamed in irresistible. Like the Yellow Turban soldiers, his eyes were filled with fear and horror.
