At dusk, when Tao Sheng returned to his backyard, he could not help but laugh out loud. He was laughing so happily that tears were flowing out of his eyes. The servants did not know what Tao Sheng was going crazy for, but they all hid far away, afraid that they would accidentally anger him and lose his life.

"Why is Uncle so happy?" Tao Dayong rushed over after hearing the news, and smiled as he asked Tao Sheng.

"Why does Uncle say that?"

"The Gongsun kid in the army camp became angry from embarrassment. He spent the entire day practicing in the army, and from my point of view, he is nothing more than a donkey's dung on the surface." As Tao Sheng walked towards the study room, he told Tao Dayong what had happened in the Flying Swallow Camp's camp.

Tao Sheng had been a clerk in the past, and liked reading books. There were a lot of books on the bookshelves, and there were a few paintings on the walls, but every book seemed to be brand-new, so it was obvious that he rarely flipped through them. Tao Sheng was addicted to alcohol. A pot of medicinal wine was warm on the stove in the study room all day, and Tao Dayong poured a small bowl of wine for Tao Sheng so he could moisten his throat before continuing.

Tao Sheng smiled and said: "Big Brave One, your cousins were disappointing. This old man has great expectations for you!"

Tao Dayong's face was filled with gratitude as he bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for thinking so highly of me.

Tao Sheng lowered his hand, "Pour yourself a bowl of wine, sit down and talk."

Tao Dayong poured a cup of wine and held it in his hand as he respectfully sat opposite of Tao Sheng.

Tao Sheng drank a mouthful of wine and said in a low voice: "Even if it wasn't for Yuan Shijun, this old man would still target Gongsun Xu. You are this old man's most valued nephew, how could you allow Gongsun Xu to be so indifferent while being randomly bullied?"

Tao Dayong placed the wine bowl on the desk, got up and knelt on the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "This nephew will always remember Uncle's sincere care and concern for this nephew!"

Tao Sheng laughed satisfactorily as he walked forward to help Tao Dayong up, and pretended to be angry: "Da Yong, how many times have I said that? He could feel that Tao Dayong's body was also trembling, but he didn't care at all.

"Thank you, uncle. This nephew will remember."

"Alright, sit down and talk. This old man still has things that he needs you to do."

"Here!" This nephew will do as you say, uncle. "

"This old man is quite at ease with the way you handle things." Tao Sheng paused here for a moment, then muttered: "This old man wants you to go see Gongsun Xu!"

"What!" Tao Dayong was shocked, and thought, could it be that Tao Sheng found out about the matter between him and Gongsun Xu, and that was why he spoke those words to probe? Immediately, he expressed his loyalty, "This nephew deeply hates Thief Gongsun and would love to eat his flesh and skin! "If I see that little thief, I'm afraid that it will be too much trouble for uncle!"

"No worries, come over here with me."

Both of Tao Dayong's hands were placed on the desk as he listened to Tao Sheng speak softly in front of him. After hearing a few sentences, his expression changed greatly and after taking a deep breath after listening, his face was filled with shock and disbelief. He blurted out, "How did uncle know about this?"

"You don't have to ask! You can pass this information to Gongsun Xu, and then pass this box to him. "Tao Sheng took out a small wooden box from the bookshelf, and conveniently placed it in front of Tao Dayong." There are a few letters inside that are very good at copying.

Tao Dayong said solemnly: "This nephew obeys! If Gongsun Xu believes in this, what should I do next? "

Tao Sheng stroked his beard and said coldly: "Gongsun Xu wants to personally survey the terrain and get to the camp first. You must try your best to persuade him to ambush and get to the camp in the forest upstream of Xiao Qinghe."

Tao Dayong frowned and asked: "If Thief Gongsun doesn't listen to my advice, what can I do?"

"Heh heh." Tao Sheng laughed insidiously, and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter if I listen to your advice or not, this old man only wants to confuse his thoughts."

Tao Dayong quickly thought for a while, and quickly understood what Tao Sheng meant. He sneered in his heart, and said everything with all his might, but his uncle still did not trust him, and although he said it beautifully, how did he know about this huge matter? He also discussed with Xu You how to deal with Gongsun Xu without mentioning a single word!

"Uncle is wise!" Tao Dayong smiled as he praised them. He knocked on the wooden box and asked: "I only have one question, if Thief Gongsun were to pass these letters to Zhang Yan, what should I do?"

"Great courage, great courage! You brat, you are really too honest!" Haha! "Tao Sheng laughed loudly," Isn't that better? It just happens to be right for Zhang Yan to help this old man get rid of a strong opponent! "

"That person doesn't seem to have any conflict with uncle right now," Tao Dayong muttered, and suddenly came to a realization, as he sighed, "As expected, uncle has great foresight! In the future, if he goes to Yuan Shijun as well, Yuan Shijun's regard of his uncle will definitely decrease by a lot! "

"Exactly!" Tao Sheng stroked his beard proudly and laughed coldly: "Yuan Shijun needs someone to help him pacify the Army of Heishan. Not only will Zhang Yan die, Du Chang, Gui Gu and the others will also die! "

Tao Dayong said respectfully: "Under the leadership of uncle, my Tao Clan will definitely become one of the top two great clans!"

"Haha, stop flattering this old man!" No matter how much wealth you have accumulated in your family, in the future, won't it still belong to you and your cousins? "

"Don't worry, uncle!" Tao Dayong stood up, bowed and said: "This nephew will definitely wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly assist Brother Dazhi (eldest son of Tao Sheng), and allow our Tao family to flourish for ten thousand years!"

"Very good! Very good! " Tao Sheng walked around the desk and supported Tao Dayong up, heavily patting him on the shoulder, "Go, be careful."

"Young Nephew will take his leave."

After Tao Dayong left, Tao Sheng's expression fluctuated unpredictably as he muttered to himself in a low voice, "This kid, Da Yong, is far stronger than those worthless things of this old man! If this brat really does what he says he will do in the future, then it's fine. Otherwise … He coldly laughed, and murderous intent filled his eyes.

"Brother, where are we going?" When Tao Dayong walked to the entrance of the Tao Residence, he was called by a person behind him. When he turned around, a warm smile quickly formed on his face.

The person who came was pretty delicate, except for his thin body, the luxurious scholar's clothes made him look very loose, and he wore a silver crown on his head. At this moment, he was standing at the side, squinting his eyes at Tao Dayong, looking very frivolous, and he was actually Tao Sheng's eldest son, Tao Dameng.

Tao Dameng chuckled: "A few pretty good trash from the Cyan Jade Building have arrived, I'm preparing to go play with them. Brother, do you want to go with me? "Don't worry, I won't ask brother to pay."

"I also want to go, but unfortunately, Tao Dayong revealed a helpless look and shook his head:" Uncle ordered me to do something, little brother, go ahead. "

"Brother, you're really unlucky!" Tao Dameng walked over and patted Tao Dayong's shoulders casually, then smiled: "Work hard, father will not treat brother poorly!"

"Don't worry, my younger brother. I will definitely do my best." Tao Dayong lowered his head and replied respectfully, but his eyes were filled with anger.

"Brother, I am very confident in your work!" "Alright, I'll go find some fun. Elder brother, feel free to do as you please." Tao Dameng brought a few servants with him and walked out of the door in a flash.

Tao Dayong followed her out of the main gate, looked at Tao Dameng's back and coldly snorted, then quickly walked towards the military camp where the White Horse Camp was stationed.

For the entire day today, the White Horse Camp was trained strictly under the order of Gongsun Xu, who had turned 'angry from embarrassment'. However, they did not dare to compliment the content of the training. The group of generals of all sizes from the Army of Heishan all came to see him. After discovering that there was no change in their expressions, they left one after another. Before Zhang Yan left, he had even discussed a long cavalry practice with Gongsun Xu.

At this time, the sky had already darkened. When Tao Dayong arrived outside the army camp, he hid in the shadows and observed the prefectural governor's mansion for a while. Realizing that no one was watching him, he quietly sneaked to the door and reported his intentions before the soldiers on the guard post asked. The door then opened a crack, and Tao Dayong walked in with a flash. Under the lead of a soldier, he walked into the house. He did not dare to raise his head to look, for fear of causing a misunderstanding. However, the constantly moving patrol beside him reminded him that the loose security he had seen earlier was just an illusion.

Gongsun Xu was sitting opposite of Zhao Yun and drinking tea, the two of them looking relaxed. The cavalry of the White Horse Camp were the elites of the elites, how could they let their formation be disrupted just because of the fight between the two horses? When they were on the arena in the morning, Tao Sheng wanted to probe the fighting strength of the White Horse Camp Cavalry, but when he thought about it, Gongsun Xu immediately understood what he was trying to do. Thus, he intentionally caused Zhao Yun to make a fool of himself on the spot, so as to numb Tao Sheng and the others who had ulterior motives.

Gongsun Xu drank half a cup of tea, then asked with a smile: "How does Zi Long feel right now?"

"He must be very pleased." Zhao Yun laughed, then suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, Marshal Zhang Yan can also be considered a hero, but he was still kept in the dark."

"The human heart is hard to fathom, and the most difficult to satisfy." Gongsun Xu could not help but sigh.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to answer, Gongsun Jia's voice came from outside: "Young Master, Tao Dayong is here to seek an audience."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Gongsun Xu instructed: "Let him in."

The door was pushed open gently, and Tao Dayong walked in with his head lowered, kneeling on the floor and kowtowing: "This little one greets General."

Gongsun Xu said indifferently: "Get up, sit down and speak."

"Here!" "Thank you, General." Tao Dayong stood up and kneeled down on a mat near the door.

Gongsun Xu poured a cup of tea and walked over to pass it to Tao Dayong.

"Thank you for the tea, General!" Tao Dayong was overwhelmed by the favor. After thanking him, he received the teacup with both hands and said softly, "Tao Sheng told me to deceive you, General!"

"Oh?" Gongsun Xu walked back and sat down, unintentionally smiling: "How are you lying? But you want to trick us into setting up an ambush? "

"General's wisdom is incomparable!" Tao Dayong flattered her, and began to recount what Tao Sheng had just said.

"Hehe." Tao Dayong had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Gongsun Xu with a wave of his hand, "There's no need to say anymore. This general already knows about it."

Tao Dayong was shocked, he found out about such a secretive matter so quickly! The fear he had towards Gongsun Xu grew even deeper in his heart.

"Tao Sheng also said one more thing. General, please look at this." Tao Dayong suppressed the shock in his heart, taking out the small wooden box from his sleeves, he walked over and presented both hands to Gongsun Xu.

"What is this?" Gongsun Xu asked in surprise.
