Tao Song won the decisive battle of the army on the Liujiang Plain, the evil god died in battle, and he rewarded a group of generals in his hand the next day, so that the soldiers and generals who participated in this decisive battle got benefits, and they walked on the road one by one, with an unappeaseable joy on their faces.

The army was repaired in Jincheng, and when Wang Wu, Wang Shi, and Zhang Xiu sent troops to convey the news that they had occupied the three counties of Zhangzhou, and asked Tao Song to send officials to manage it.

When the news reached the Imperial City of the Warring States Period, the common people of the Warring States were happy and the country was strong, and they could only go out to elevate their status, so that people from other countries would not dare to underestimate them, especially the businessmen who traveled around the country.

Some of Tao Song's neighbors were fought by the armies of the Warring States Four, and all of them opened the way with the horn of victory, which instantly made Tao Song's neighbors one by one maintain a high degree of vigilance, and began to send a secret line into the Warring States to investigate Tao Song's Wenchen generals at the same time.

Xiang Yu and Emperor Ling fought for the Nanjiang ferry, a branch of the upper reaches of the Liujiang River, the two armies fought for three days, Xiang Yu's victory, Emperor Ling was defeated and retreated, Long He led the army to chase and kill all the way, even under the twelve cities, and occupied most of the land in Yangzhou.

Emperor Ling's army was defeated like a mountain, and the army in his hand was beaten by Long He had no temper, so he chose to withdraw from Yangzhou in desperation, and guarded the two Xiongguan passes connecting Yangzhou to Jinzhou to resist Xiang Yu's troops.

However, he didn't intend to make Xiang Yu feel better, so he sent someone to inform Tao Song and give Ancheng, which Yangzhou is next to Tao Song's jurisdiction, and Liujiang County and Yangzhou County on the side, as a dowry for his two daughters.

Nominally it is a dowry, but in fact, it is to let Tao Song and Xiang Yu, one upstream and the other downstream, both rely on the Nanjiang River and Liujiang, so that Tao Song and Xiang Yu are entangled with each other.

It's good to give him favorable time to thoroughly investigate Tao Song and Xiang Yu and make a comeback again.

When the messenger came to Jincheng, he told Tao Song about Emperor Ling's concession of the city, and asked Tao Song to take over the city.

This is to let Tao Song, who had just been quiet for less than a few days, mobilize again, and take people to garrison Liujiang County and Yangzhou County, prevent Xiang Yu from taking the two counties, and drive the soldiers to his door.

Although he didn't want to meet Xiang Yu's sword soldiers so quickly, he didn't want to lose his deterrence, and he didn't want to see Xiang Yu's soldiers circling his city gate anytime and anywhere.

Led the troops into the county seat of Yangzhou, Yangzhou City, the officials of the Tianling Kingdom were really direct, and left with their families, leaving only the account books of various places in the study and table of the official yamen.

Tao Song faced such a scene, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't worry much, and decisively sent people back to the imperial city of Guiyang, so that Yang Jiye, who was idle at home, took the Yang family army to Yangzhou County to station, manage Liujiang County, Yangzhou County, and Hongmu County, Tianshui County, and Mountain County that were grabbed from Zhangzhou, and set up Danyang County in Ancheng 20 miles, and the six counties were planned to Yangzhou again.

Yang Jiye, as the commander of Yangzhou, asked Li Shanchang to send officials to Yangzhou as soon as possible to run Yangzhou.

In five days, Yang Jiye took Yang Jiajun and Li Shanchang arranged Yangzhou Assassin Shi to Yangzhou City with the county officials of the five counties.

Tao Song stood on the city tower, looking at the scholar with a chicken feather fan in his hand and riding a white horse from a distance, walking in front of the army with Yang Jiye, Tao Song was a little surprised, the Yangzhou assassin arranged by Li Shanchang was actually Zhuge Liang, a kid.

Tao Song and Zhuge Liang have not seen each other for more than ten years, and when they meet again, looking at Zhuge Liang's height of eight feet, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole body reveals a capable spirit, which makes Tao Song very satisfied.

Yang Jiye and Zhuge Liang entered the city, Tao Song did not meet them at the city gate, but returned to the county government, the government office, and waited for Yang Jiye and Zhuge Liang to visit him in the government office.

"Yang Jiye meets the War Emperor!"

"Zhuge Kongming greets the Emperor of War!"

Yang Jiye and Zhuge Liang gave Tao Song a half-kneeling bow to meet Tao Song.

"General Yang, Zhuge Thorn History, the northwest of Yangzhou is Xiang Yu, he occupied the four counties around the Nanjiang River in Yangzhou in the former Tianling Kingdom, and a county in the upper reaches of the Liujiang River, and we are next to the Liujiang River across the Nanjiang River, and he is in the upper reaches, if he wants to attack us, it will be smooth sailing, General Yang in the future, but be careful, Xiang Yu will definitely not attack us because he has a good relationship with me."

"The west of Yangzhou County is next to the Tianjian Pass of the Tianling Country, and we have no danger to defend in the west, we need to cultivate two Guancheng to defend against the sneak attack of the Tianling Kingdom, if there is a chance, you can send troops to fight the Tianjian Pass, and you don't have to worry about it for the time being, the remaining three counties of Zhangzhou, Yue Fei is leading troops to attack!"

Tao Songju sat in the main hall of the county government, looking at Yang Jiye and Zhuge Liang who had just arrived in Yangzhou City, there was no foreplay, and he went directly to the topic.

"Zhuge Thorn History, although you don't bring troops, you can also mobilize your own wisdom, if you have any good ideas, you can still mention them to General Yang, after all, you will be partners in the future!"

"Emperor Zhan, we just came, we are not familiar with Yangzhou, at present, I think it is still mainly defensive, and when we are familiar with the geographical conditions of Yangzhou, we will send troops to grab territory with Xiang Yu and Tianling Kingdom!"

Zhuge Liang looked up at Tao Song, he and Tao Song have not seen each other for more than ten years, he used to be a little kid, but now he is a high-ranking official of the Warring States, he can be in the same hall with Tao Song, and he will help Tao Song give advice.

"The Emperor of War, with the old minister, Yangzhou can't be lost!"

Yang Jiye is still very confident in his Yang family, his seven sons, all of them can go into battle to kill the enemy, and the six daughters-in-law can also charge into battle, only the youngest son Yang Tingsi has not yet married a wife, but Yang Tinghei Yang Jiye is not worried at all.

Tao Song loves Yang Tingsi, and he knows in his heart that Tao Song will not let Yang Tingsi lead the expedition independently.

"Get up!"

Tao Song was still satisfied with Zhuge Liang and Yang Jiye's answers, and waved his hand so that the two could get up.

"Report!"

"Emperor Zhan, Emperor Chu also went to the gate of the city, let the Emperor of War go out to see him!"

A herald ran into the main hall, gave Tao Song a half-kneeling salute, and said the words.

"Two, let's go, follow me to meet Xiang Yu!"

Tao Song got up and strode towards the door, not forgetting to call Yang Jiye and Zhuge Liang.

"Tao Ping'an, I haven't seen you for a few days, you kid, you actually came to pick me up!"

Xiang Yu rode a white tiger and led three thousand lion cavalry, standing outside Yangzhou City, and when he saw Tao Song appear on the city tower, he roared out directly.

"Overlord Chu, this is the city that Emperor Ling married his daughter and gave to me, how can I call it cheap for you?"

Although Tao Song knew in his heart that he was picking up Xiang Yu's cheapness, he would not admit it.

"Tao Ping'an, I'm not here today, I'm not here to make a deal with you, don't you plan to invite me in to sit?"

Xiang Yu looked at Tao Song with a subtle smile on his lips, and rode the white tiger directly towards the gate of Yangzhou City.

"Open the gates!"

Tao Song saw Xiang Yu's very confident expression, he was not to be outdone, waved his hand to let people open, Yangzhou City Gate, and let Xiang Yu enter the city.
