Tao Ying led a 5,000 army to chase the territory of Gaotang County, crossed the Luoshui River, and when he reached the Yellow River, more than 300 cavalry led by Yan Liang had already stopped by the river bank, looking at the river and sighing while waiting for the arrival of Tao Ying's army.

"Lord, according to the people around, the dog thief Gongsun Zan has crossed the river and entered Jizhou; now all the ships at the Gaotang Ferry are on the west bank, so the army may find it difficult to cross the river today."

Yan Liang was angry and the face of the vermilion-red spirit official was covered with an angry look, which looked particularly ferocious and terrifying. If Tao Ying had not had any immunity, he would not dare to stand with Yan Liang at this moment.

"Um."

Tao Ying raised his hand and wanted to pat Yan Liang on the shoulder to comfort him, but Yan Liang was too tall, Tao Ying gave up silently and pointed to the other side of the river, taking the opportunity to hide his embarrassment.

"Even if the ships on the west bank are dispersed, the five thousand troops will not be able to cross the river in one go today!"

Tao Ying looked at the west bank of the Yellow River, and there were some ferries parked across the street, but they were not big, and they could carry up to twenty or thirty people at a time.

Given the current width of the river surface, it takes at least half an hour to go back and forth at a time. It is difficult to cross the five thousand troops in less than half a day.

"Since the traitor has entered Jizhou, it is too late today. Crossing the river will give up for the time being, station on the spot, and collect the ships with all their strength."

With a sigh, Tao Ying decisively gave up his plan to cross the river.

"My brother hasn't lived enough yet. Mi Zhen is still waiting for me to marry her and enter the house!"

In this era, Tao Ying did not have the courage to cross the Yellow River at night.

"Wen Heng, immediately dispatch a team of troops to take over Gaotang County and see if he could raise food and grass."

Yan Liang received the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tao Ying and gave him a special instruction.

"The army can be stationed, but the people transporting Meng Yi's body to Pingyuan City cannot stop. Time must be stepped up to cross the river!"

Gongsun Zan handed Tao Ying such a good handle. If Tao Ying didn't seize the time and missed the opportunity, he would not be laughed to death by Gongsun Zan afterwards.

"I know!"

Yan Liang turned around and went to work hard. Tao Ying stared at Yan Liang's back, which was gradually fading away, and was both helpless and relieved.

"It's a bit too much to put it on the shelves!"

Tao Ying was not sure what Yan Liang, a big and muscular man, would be busy with his work like? But it didn't matter.

"Qingzhou, which is in ruins, is originally 'destroyed'. If it is a little bit abolished, it may feel more fulfilling when it rises!"

To put it bluntly, in Tao Ying's eyes, Qingzhou is now a test field, specially used to cultivate various abilities of the team. Tao Ying allowed them to make mistakes and if they couldn't do it well, who would let him cross the river by feeling the stones?

"Hehe, maybe I can train Yan Liang, a 'violent man, to be a qualified government talent!"

...

The tense nerve finally felt a little loose. Tao Ying, the manager of the hand-off, stood by the Yellow River like a ok, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River under the sunset.

"What awesome, Mother River!"

This is the first time Tao Ying has witnessed the magnificence of the Yellow River Mother in this era.

Now this place is not far from the mouth of the Yellow River in Bohai Bay, so the Yellow River, which comes from the northwest, is no longer covered in dust. The mud and sand wrapped around it have been sown all the way, and after changing its makeup, it becomes clear and bright.

"The river is clear and the sea is peaceful! But when will this peaceful day come?"

Perhaps because of the flat terrain of this section, the river water no longer has surging shape and the flow is very relaxed.

"Under this gentle appearance, just like the end of this great man, there must be a surging tide, right?"

However, looking at the wide river surface and thinking about the Hukou Waterfall upstream, Tao Ying still felt the majestic momentum and magnificent scene of the Yellow River. His mind was shocked by the miracles of nature for the first time.

"The sun is on the mountain and the Yellow River flows into the sea; I want to see you thousands of miles away, and I will go up to a higher level."

Perhaps, only Wang Zhihuan's "Climbing the Stork Tower" can best express Tao Ying's mood at this moment.

"Good poem!"

A sudden word instantly shattered Tao Ying's fusion artistic conception brought to him by the Yellow River and poetry, and almost made him drown in the Yellow River.

"Actually, I'm dead, dead in the artistic conception!"

Tao Ying, full of resentment, looked back at the person who wanted to "murder" him.

A middle-aged man in his thirties looked sick. Although it was only early winter, his clothes were already one layer on the left and one layer on the right, and he was dressed very bloated and exaggerated.

"Brother Penguin, uh..."

"Sir, I am so elegant. It's cold at night, the river wind is cold, and the war is in chaos. The interest in watching the river and enjoying the scenery is not diminished at all!"

Although he said this, Tao Ying’s thoughts were completely different.

"You are so malnourished. You are still staying at home on the warm kang. You are so idle that you run out and scare me!"

Tao Ying's words and thoughts are unaware of the fact that his vision is still in the eternal quatrains of Master Wang.

"If Xin doesn't come this time, wouldn't she lose the opportunity to hear the masterpiece of eternal songs?"

There are not many poems passed down by Wang Zhihuan, but this poem is absolutely majestic and profound in artistic conception. It has inspired the Chinese nation to be upright for thousands of years.

Hua Xin’s reputation is not something that he does not lack appreciation, and his words of praise come from the heart.

Tao Ying naturally had no doubts, and even looked at Hua Xin with a look of pride on his face, as if he did "Climbing the Stork Tower".

"Oh, what a pity, it's not my brother. I'm just a porter who spreads beauty!"

Tao Ying nodded in response to Hua Xin with a smile.

"Hey, the porpoise!"

Tao Ying was not interested in writing poems with Hua Xin. His eyes turned back to the river surface and saw a group of porpoises jumping and swimming in the Yellow River.

"This shows that the species on the land of China, like Chinese civilization, have been continuing for thousands of years and have never changed!"

A hint of surprise flashed through Tao Ying's heart, and soon he felt relieved of what he saw in front of him.

"I didn't expect that General Tao can be both literary and military. He not only has the courage to suppress the bandits, but also has such extraordinary ambition and high-spirited and enterprising spirit. There are few in the world, and it is really a blessing for my great man!"

Tao Ying had no intention of speaking, but Hua Xin was very ignorant and seemed to be very talkative.

"Sir is a weak man. Now the Yellow Turban bandits are in trouble with Qingzhou. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, next door, are copying Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou Plain. Isn't you afraid?"

The porpoise wandered away, and Tao Ying's interest was gone. He turned around and looked at Hua Xin again, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"The governor of Tao County sent troops to Qingzhou. Now that the Xu and the Yellow Turbans of Jinan have been destroyed, Sima Ju of Le'an is about to be calmed down. Just like the Pingyuan County, the Yellow Turban bandits who had crossed the Gaotang have retreated to the Le'an County. It can be said that the Pingyuan County on the east bank of the river is now a very safe place."

Hua Xin slowly pointed out the basic situation in Qingzhou at present to Tao Ying, and indirectly sent Tao Ying a signal of "Stop pretending, I know you."

"This person talks very well and has some understanding of my mission to send troops to Qingzhou. Although I have not discussed it in depth, I am afraid I know very well!"

Tao Ying was shocked and once again carefully examined Hua Xinlai who had risen to middle age.

"Oh, this is the asymmetry of information. I lost first as soon as I started, and I was pretending to be a ghost later!"

Tao Ying looked at Hua Xin "unscrupulously". Hua Xin didn't care at all, his face was light and he looked as if he was optimistic.

"By the way, haven't you asked the sir yet?"

Hua Xin stroked his beard and looked at Tao Ying and smiled.

"I am the Gao Tang Huaxin. I believe that Lu Prime Minister Chen Pingju mentioned Hua?"

Hua Xin's words fell, and Tao Ying suddenly realized.

"So I met Gao Cai from Pingyuan County!"
