Chapter 9 Ji Ling recommends Yan Liang(2/2)
"Aren't the Yellow Turban bandits and Taishan bandits all over the place soldiers?"
Tao Ying glanced at the three of them and saw that they had not turned around yet, so he patiently explained.
"The Yellow Turban bandits are originally common people who have no land to cultivate. If we give them food, recruit them, and properly resettle the old, weak, sick, and disabled children, we will not only eliminate the soldiers, but also solve the banditry once and for all. How can we be happy with such a good thing?
No?"
Even though Tao Ying had reached this point, the three of them still couldn't understand the reasoning behind it. They were just worried that the court would not tolerate these thieves.
However, since Tao Ying dared to do this, he must be fully confident.
Besides, behind Tao Ying, there is a father who is a governor.
"My lord, I have a few old friends who are all skilled in martial arts. If my lord is at ease, I would like to personally invite you to see your lord."
Tao Ying was overjoyed, and he waited for Sun Guan to take the initiative to win over.
"Zhongtai, come here quickly, are they all outstanding people?"
"Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Xi...and his younger brother Sun Kang and Sun Botai."
Sun Guan didn't want to mention his brother Sun Kang at first, but when he thought of Tao Ying knowing how to make good use of people, he would not avoid relatives.
"Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Botai, yes; Chang Xi, forget it."
Tao Ying did not dare to use Chang Xi. Chang Xi's capriciousness gave Cao Cao a big headache, and he did not want to ask for trouble.
"Hey, look for an opportunity and send Chang Xi to Yuan Shu or Cao Cao to harm them on behalf of my brother!"
Tao Ying bluntly said that he did not want Changxi, which made Sun Guan stunned.
"My lord, why do you not want Chang Xi? Is there any rift between Chang Xi and my lord?"
Glancing at Sun Guan, who had a look of surprise and uneasiness on his face, Tao Ying helped him clear up his doubts.
"I heard Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang say that Chang Xi is a capricious person, and it is unknown if he stays with him. Zhongtai only needs to know about it himself, and don't want to spread it to others."
Xu Shao's "Yue Dan Commentary" was known to almost all states in the Han Dynasty. Tao Ying decisively passed the blame to Xu Shao to dispel Sun Guan's concerns.
"Alas, brother, this 'prophet', is sometimes helpless!"
If Tao Ying does not want to become a sage in the eyes of the world, he will not be able to justify himself in the future.
"No, I understand."
After hearing Tao Ying's explanation, Sun Guan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Xi was an old acquaintance of Sun Guan. If Chang Xi and Tao had any quarrel, it would be difficult for him to do things if he was caught in the middle.
"When the lord stops in Mount Tai, Guan will immediately return to Donghai County to recruit them for the lord."
Seeing Sun Guan introducing old friends to Tao Ying, Ji Ling was also moved. Who doesn't have a few friends?
"My lord, Ling also has a good friend who is skilled in martial arts and military tactics. Unfortunately, he is just like Ling. He has no chance to enter the society. He is currently idle at home. Ling asks the lord for permission and invites him to meet the lord."
Thinking of his friend's predicament, Ji Ling felt sad and looked at Tao Ying expectantly.
"Huh? Fu Yi, who is this distinguished friend of yours?"
Tao Ying was startled. This was an unexpected surprise. He did not expect that in "Three Kingdoms", Ji Ling, who was assassinated by Zhang Fei early in Xuzhou, had friends.
"Yan Liang, a native of Linyi County, Langya Kingdom."
"Who are you talking about?"
Ji Ling's words were like rolling thunder falling from the sky, which made Tao Ying's heart tremble.
"Xi Lv Lv..."
Tao Ying suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse suddenly felt pain in its neck. It immediately neighed and stood up. If Tao Ying hadn't tightly held the reins, it would have fallen off the horse.
