A trace of surprise flashed through Yin Zhongkan's one eye, and then he became angry, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you talking about this? Organizational matters can only be discussed within the organization. This is a rule!"
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "Is it also a rule to kill your predecessor with your own hands in the general altar?"
Yin Zhongkan gritted his teeth: "You didn't persuade me to do this, saying you wanted to scare the other three. What's wrong, does Mr. Tao also want to succeed me like this?"
Tao Yuanming waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I know my identity, and I am satisfied if I can get out of the mountain and have a piece of territory. This position of guarding the Mafia's four directions will not be my turn in the next life. Just as a child of a noble family, I will be satisfied." Let me stop having any thoughts. Mr. Yin is the perfect candidate for the position of White Tiger. All I can do is assist you and do my best."
Yin Zhongkan's expression softened slightly: "Well, it's my fault this time. I didn't listen to many of your suggestions. If I had been prepared for Huan Xuan earlier, I wouldn't have been like this. However, I will listen to your words and use all the food stored in Jiangling to help the victims. , and now we have no military rations, you must handle this matter for me, otherwise, if I die this time, what will happen to you after the Huan family has dealt a blow to your Tao Xi clan for many years?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yin. This time, Sun En is to blame for sending troops too suddenly. Otherwise, how would Huan Xuan dare to raise troops to invade? In fact, we have successfully expelled Huan Xuan before and let him become the governor of Guangzhou. Who would have thought that God was not as good as man, but Sun En raised an army and killed Xie Yan, causing the Beifu Army to be stationed in Wudi for many years. This allowed Huan Xuan to act unscrupulously. Otherwise, if I had allowed you to operate here for ten years and eighty years with peace of mind, In 2008, the surname of Jingzhou will be Yin instead of Huan. And opening warehouses to release grain is a good deed to win the hearts of the people. It is easy to squeeze out Huan Xuan, but it is difficult to win the hearts of the people for the Huan family to manage for a year. With this truth, how can you, sir? Don’t you know?”
Yin Zhongkan gritted his teeth: "I only hate that my major general is weak and is no match for Huan Xuan, so I have to drag Yang Quanqi in. But the biggest problem now is the food for the soldiers. If you can't collect the food and grass, then we will all It’s over.”
Tao Yuanming stood up and said, "Don't worry, sir. The two thousand stones last time were just the first emergency supply of food and grass. All the villages and villages have been mobilized urgently. When I go back in person to supervise a trip of food and grass and reinforcements, I guarantee that the fifty thousand stones will be there." If it arrives within two days, it will definitely not affect the decisive battle between General Yang and the Huan thieves!"
Yin Zhongkan's expression became relieved, and he stepped forward and took Tao Yuanming's hand: "Mr. Tao, I still say the same old saying, I will not stay in Jingzhou forever, the court is where I want to go, sooner or later It will be yours. Helping me means helping yourself, including my position as the White Tiger in the future. Who else is suitable to inherit my position besides you?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and put his hand on the back of Yin Zhongkan's hand: "It is my lifelong honor to serve Lord Baihu and we can create great achievements together!"
One day later, Jingzhou, Ma Tou, Huan Xuan Military Camp.
In an inconspicuous tent, Huan Xuan, dressed as a soldier, smiled at Tao Yuanming, who was also dressed as a soldier, standing in front of him: "Yuanming, Yuanming, I'm afraid Yin Zhongkan won't know until he dies. It will be you, the think tank, who will give him the fatal blow."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Compared with Duke Huan, I have no wisdom at all. I just act according to your instructions. From Wang Xun to Yin Zhongkan, these pretentious aristocratic children will only be confused by the temporary situation." He blinded his eyes, lost his basic judgment, and finally regretted it when he was about to die!"
Huan Xuan looked at Tao Yuanming and said calmly: "Yin Zhongkan is just like his uncle. He is just a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. Even his family and parents will become their acting tools to leave a reputation as a loyal minister and filial son, and then he will rely on this He wanted to be an official because of his reputation, but he didn't want to think about whether he had the ability. Yin Zhongkan was insidious and vicious, and there was no one he couldn't exploit and betray. Even Wang Xun, who had supported him for many years, could eradicate the roots. But he has no general talent, so he was given the governor of Jingzhou, and he couldn't build a decent army in a few years. He relied on conspiracy and power, and could only play tricks for a while, but he couldn't conquer the world!"
Tao Yuanming smiled and nodded: "This is the reason why I abandoned Yin and followed my lord. It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. This is roughly the truth. Not to mention, after Yin Zhongkan gains power, he must also They will eradicate me. After all, so many insidious and sinister schemes were all planned by me. People don’t like someone who knows too many secrets and dark sides of themselves. Let alone a hypocrite like Yin Zhongkan. To save his life He needs it, so I have to do it earlier."
Huan Xuan laughed: "Then you have a lot of poisonous tricks for me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head: "Huan Gong is different. Yin Zhongkan is a hypocrite, but you are a real villain. You are not afraid of others knowing your methods. Therefore, you can naturally tolerate people like me. Because your life , all have to use this kind of conspiracy and power, and the only one who can help you the most is me."
A smile gradually bloomed on Huan Xuan's face, and he patted Tao Yuanming on the shoulder: "Those who know me, Mr. Tao, since you know what kind of person I am, you should understand that as long as you are loyal to me wholeheartedly and serve me I'll give it to you if it's yours. Having smart people like you by my side will keep me alert at all times. Well, Yang Quanqi is about to arrive in Jiangling, so we have to act as planned."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "One more thing is Yin Zhongkan's identity as a white tiger. This time, I would like to ask Duke Huan not to think about his old relationship and to eradicate it. You don't have to think about Yin Zhongkan doing this to you in order to beg for mercy and save his life. Transactions, such as handing over Bai Hu's treasures and resources. I can tell you clearly that he is a blank slate and Bai Hu has nothing, and Wang Xun left him nothing."
Huan Xuan was slightly startled: "Is there still this thing? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If the lord had known that Yin Zhongkan had nothing in his hands, he would have raised an army to destroy him long ago. At that time, Sun En had not swept across the Southeast Wu region, and the Beifu army had not left. It was not that he had taken action It was a good time, and since I knew I couldn't advise the lord, I had to conceal it. This is also my duty as a counselor."
Huan Xuan sighed: "I don't know whether to be happy or angry to have a minister as smart as you who can do things on his own. I hope you won't hide anything from me next time."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly, bowed his arms to his waist and said, "Yes!"
