There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

You know, for so many years, Tao Qian's own foundation is only three counties.

The potter immediately offered him three more.

Happiness came too suddenly, Tao Qian felt like he was about to explode.

The kind that explodes!

This feeling is so comfortable!

Tao Qian sat at the head of the table, holding the slips and slips of paper, looking at himself in a silly way.

Pei Guang, who was in charge of sending news to Tao Qian, was a little scared seeing the old man's appearance.

Why has Mr. Tao been smirking and not talking?Looking at him like that, his saliva seems to flow out!

Shouldn't it be excessive excitement, hallucinations, and demonic obstacles?

There is no cure for this disease, Zhang Zhongjing didn't even recruit him!

"Emissary, envoy?" Pei Guang called out in a low voice.

Tao Qian was called back to God by Pei Guang's call in endless reverie.

The soul returned to its place in an instant.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you leave?" Tao Qian looked at Pei Guang suspiciously and asked.

Pei Guang felt quite helpless in his heart, I hadn't moved anywhere.

"Hehe, that..." Pei Guang cupped his hands helplessly at Tao Qian: "You haven't said yet, when will you send your caring person to Xiapi Country and Wu County to take up the post?"

Tao Qian patted himself on the head vigorously upon hearing this.

I am happy to patronize, but I have nothing to do!

The Tao merchants sent Pei Guang here this time, first to report to Tao Qian the happy event of recovering the three counties, and second, to ask Tao Qian to identify important candidates who could serve as the prefect of Wujun and the prime minister of Xiapi.

After all, there are two big counties, and the appointment of personnel still needs to go through the process in Tao Qian's hands. This is not only a kind of respect, but also a kind of system.

Tao Qian stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment, and finally heaved a long sigh.

These people in Pengcheng really couldn't believe it.

Tao Qian said to Pei Guang: "Go back and tell Zidu, let him decide who should be the Prime Minister of Xiapi Kingdom and the sheriff of Wu County. As for Zhao Yu of Guangling County, I will write a letter to him later. He wrote a letter asking him to obey Zidu's arrangement from now on——Xiapi Country, Guangling County, Danyang County, Wu County... From then on, Tao Zidu will be the governor of the four southern counties, telling him Zidu, don't let the old man down."

After hearing Tao Qian's words, even though Pei Guang was only a guard of the Tiger Guards, he couldn't help but secretly slapped his tongue in fright.

Mr. Tao Qian really spent his money!

He is currently in charge of the three counties of Pengcheng Country, Donghai County, and Pei Country, but he has appointed pottery merchants as governors of all the four southern counties! ?

In this way, the old man handed over his entire rear area to the pottery merchant.

What kind of trust and courage is this!

Thinking of this, Pei Guang couldn't help but respect Tao Qian.

Tao Shijun looked at an old man who usually spoke slowly and acted slowly, but at the critical moment, once a decision was made, his performance as an old man was still very courageous and heroic!

What is a real father? Don't be suspicious of people, and don't be suspicious of employers!

Look at Tao Shijun, how domineering!

Pei Guang was filled with awe, and was about to agree when Tao Qian added another sentence.

"Tell Zidu, the land of the four counties pays taxes, money and food to the old man on time every month and every quarter. If he dares to lose a son, the old man will send troops to destroy his Jinling City!"

Pei Guang: "..."

It seems that this old man is not very courageous.

Just like his own master, narrow-mindedness predominates.

Thinking of the potter's deadly behavior, Pei Guang suddenly understood the source.

This is Suigen.

Pei Guang took the order to pay his respects and left. When he walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he saw two middle-aged men dressed as generals who came to the Governor's Mansion to meet Tao Qian.

The two generals looked like foreigners, not natives of Xuzhou.

Pei Guang didn't know why, looking at those two people seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

But right now, the business in hand is still important, Pei Guang didn't have time to think about the origin of those two people, so he left in a hurry.

After the two generals were summoned by Tao Qian, they entered the main hall of the governor's mansion together with the servants.

Seeing Tao Qian, the two saluted together and said respectfully.

"Bao Zhong (Bao Tao), I have met Mr. Tao."

Chapter 299 Picking up Cao Song (third update)

Bao Zhong and Bao Tao came to the Governor's Mansion in Pengcheng to meet Tao Qian.

Although Bao Xin is dead, he was a loyal minister and good general in those days, and he was inseparable with pottery merchants, whether in public or private, Tao Qian would not treat his younger brothers lightly.

Tao Qian smiled and stretched out his hand to signal that the two of them don't need to be polite, and then asked them to sit down.

"The two generals came all the way from Yanzhou. It was really hard work... Alas, Bao Yuncheng was killed by the Yellow Turban Bandits in Qingzhou. The old man was very sad when he heard about it. It's a pity that he is an important position in the court and cannot go to Yanzhou in person. Condolences are truly the regrets of this life."

Seeing Tao Qian's emotion, Bao Zhong sighed, "You don't have to be Tao Shijun. Although my brother is gone, Yanzhou is now governed by Meng Degong, which is better than before. Meng Degong has now wiped out all the thieves in Yanzhou, making the six counties safe and peaceful, and the people peaceful. My brother Quanxia knows, and he must die in peace."

After hearing Bao Zhong's words, Tao Qian was also deeply moved.

"You two generals, since Yun Cheng left, are you still proud of being under Meng De's command?"

Bao Zhong and Bao Tao looked at each other and smiled wryly in their hearts.

Bao Xin had a high reputation in Yanzhou back then, and the troops under his command were battle-tested and extremely good at fighting, and he was known as the strongest soldier in Yanzhou.

After Bao Xin and Liu Dai died at the hands of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Cao Cao, with the support of Yuan Shao, became the lord of Yanzhou, and took over the former generals of Liu Dai and Bao Xin, rearranged the staff and made adjustments. The soldiers of the day were divided into the tents of Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and other clan generals under his command.

As for people like Bao Zhong and Bao Tao, they were well-known in the Jinbei Army in the past, so Cao Cao naturally dared not use them.

Under Cao Cao's command, they naturally have salaries and benefits, and it can be said that they need to eat and drink.

But in name, the two are nothing more than empty captains, with no soldiers and no power under them, at most they are sent out to do some odd jobs, run errands and the like.
