Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu was a little surprised, and said "oh" softly: "Your Tao family has been in decline for nearly a hundred years, and you are so poor that he still believes that you have any family power?

Tao Yuanming said proudly: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you just don't understand the intrigue between scholars. Sometimes you do all kinds of weird things to attract attention, but sometimes you pretend to be a family. Being poor and strong is also a means of gaining fame, just like those who do mischief are not really evil, and poor people may not be as poor as they appear from the outside. Just like me, when I saw Wang Po, at least he One thing is certain, that is, I am indeed talented and full of knowledge, so where did all this knowledge come from, if it wasn’t for my family’s collection of books, how could it be so?”

Liu Yu laughed: "Since there is a collection of books at home, there must be other things hidden, such as clansmen, villages, grain and grass, and even military equipment, weapons, and helmets, right?" Tao Yuanming nodded: "I swear, I I didn’t think about these things when I was writing Peach Blossom Spring, but Wang Po kept asking me how many relatives there are in my hometown, how many people have passed away, and so on. I didn’t think about it at first, and told the truth, but the more I denied , the more he didn't believe it. It was only later that I understood what he meant. He wanted to be the governor of Jingzhou.

Liu Yu sneered and said, "With Mrs. Huan here, where can I get him? However, Huan Chong died like this after the Northern Expedition, and his two sons also passed away very quickly. There was a vacancy in Jingzhou's power, and Huan Xuan also He wanted to go back and take over Jingzhou, and Wang Po must have had other thoughts at this time.

Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "That's right, the relationship between Huan Xuan and Huan Chong is not good. After Huan Chong's death, Huan Shikang was also allowed to take over Jingzhou instead of returning it to Huan Xuan. This made the two uncles and nephews lose face. At that time, Sima Daozi, who was in power in Beijing, did not want to let Huan Xuan, who had a grudge against him, go back to Jingzhou, so Wang Po felt that the opportunity had come, and it was at that time that he confessed to me As the identity of the black hand Qiankun guarding.

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed coldly: "He said that he has long believed that our Tao clan still has great strength in Jingzhou, hiding in the dark. He will take action to regain Jingzhou, he wants to cooperate with me, let him be the governor of Jingzhou, and I will help him secure this position, and then win the resources left by the Baihu family from the hands of the Huan family, so that he can truly become the governor of Jingzhou. A powerful white tiger.

"In exchange, after obtaining the resources of the White Tiger family, he can help my Tao family to separate Jingzhou and become a powerful family that has controlled Jingzhou for a long time like the Huan family. Liu Yu, who divided the whole state into one state, nodded his head: "This condition sounds very good, but did you actually refuse it?

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If it was changed to the Black Hand Universe five years ago, I don't think I would refuse, but what is left of the Black Hand Universe at that time? A notorious dark organization that has been made public, An alliance of aristocratic families that has been harming the country and the people for a hundred years, and more importantly, at this time, the black hand Qiankun does not have the strength to make the Tianshi Dao raise troops, or let the Xie family form the Beifu Army. Wang Po is almost a poor general. There is not a single soldier under his command, and the other guards have lost their own lives, not to mention how many resources can be passed on to their successors. At this time, the black hands are a burden to everyone, and they are not helpful at all. A powerful organization to realize my ideals, why should I join?

"But Gu Zhongkan still wanted to join Liu Yu and laughed: Ah, this is where he is inferior to you?

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Yin Zhongkan thought he could make friends with Yang Quanqi and join forces to restrain Huan Xuan, and he also thought that I would help him make friends with local scribes in Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that although Xiangxuan is not a white tiger, Huan's family is in Jingzhou Years of experience is not a waste of fame, even if there is no material benefit, just relying on Huan's business in Jingzhou for decades, old disciples left behind, and Huan's reputation in Jingzhou, he is not worthy of Yin Zhong counterbalanced.

"Therefore, Yin Zhongkan agreed to the king, and first got the appointment of Jingzhou Governor from Wang Xun. Wang Po and him also used each other, because I refused to work for him. He wanted Yin Zhongkan to explore the way first. Seeing the time is right, he will take action to seize Jingzhou, but he never expected that Yin Zhongkan is more vicious than he imagined, and he actually got rid of him and Xuanwu at the same time, and he became the last guard.

Liu Yu's

He frowned: "Even you don't know about this matter and you didn't participate?

Tao Yuanming sighed: "I really don't know, otherwise I will definitely stop Yin Zhongkan. No matter how bad the black hand is, at least a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The two guards will at least have connections, some of which we don't have now. In order to avoid Wang Po's control, he directly attacked him, so all the resources of the former black hand Qiankun could no longer be controlled.

"Maybe it was because of the intrigue within the underworld before, killing each other made Yin Zhongkan afraid, maybe he felt that after he could control Jingzhou, he didn't need other resources to guard him. In short, he decided to use this underhand and wanted to rely on me. Wu relied on Yang Quanqi to deal with Huanxuan and compete for Jingzhou.

Liu Yu sighed: "Unexpectedly, Yin Zhongkan, a scholar who seems to be a big filial son, is so black-bellied, and he will not hold back when he says what he does. But, why did you betray him later? Help Wouldn't it be better for him to defeat Guixuan and dominate Jingzhou?

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "He even kills Wang Po as soon as he wants. If there is a conflict of interest with me in the future, how can he tolerate me? This person has no faith at all. I would rather invest in Guixuan than help him.

So, I came up with a new idea later, to get rid of Yin Zhongkan, and then take the opportunity to seize the four guarding tokens, help Huanxuan enter the capital, and at the same time find an opportunity to reorganize the underworld, and this is what is most beneficial to me Road.

Liu Yu laughed: "Then how did you trick Yin Zhongkan into being fooled, and finally you were defeated and captured?

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Yin Zhongkan has no foundation in Jingzhou, and he wants to compete with the Huan family for popularity here, so I advised him to open the treasury to provide relief during the flood and famine. In this way, it can be received People in Jingzhou.

Liu Yu was a little surprised: this is a good deed, how could it let him down?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because there was a disaster just now, Jingzhou was in great trouble and there was no harvest. He used military rations to rescue the disaster. Even if the people of Jingzhou were grateful to him, they would not return the grain to him. At this time, Huanxuan sent troops to attack him. , what did his own soldiers eat?
