Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3518: The most lacking smoothness

In the spring of the tenth year of Taixing in the Han Dynasty.

The news that Jizhou was disturbed by Cao's army was passed to Xu County, which immediately caused an uproar.

Of course, Cao's army said that they were tracking down and clearing the cavalry troops in Jizhou before, as well as the thieves who destroyed Cao's food route.

But this thing is like a little blue pill. Whoever uses it knows whether it is a hard hold or a skill!

For the Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Yuzhou are like two legs, supporting the entire Shandong Central Plains structure system. Up and down the river, Henan and Hebei, whether it is the emperor or the common people, they all know that these two places are too important for the Han Dynasty. Especially in Xu County, it is at the foot of the emperor, and the children of the gentry who gather here will be more than in ordinary places, and their attention to current affairs will be higher than that of people in other places.

The Han Dynasty, or the Eastern Han Dynasty, was built on the foundation of Jizhou and Yuzhou!

Although the people of Jizhou and Yuzhou have been competing and ostracizing each other for a hundred years, they have cooperated on the whole. They once cooperated well in suppressing Shanxi and conquering outside the pass, expanding the vast territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the Western Regions to the Northern Frontier, from Liaodong to Jiaozhi!

But who would have thought that now, these seemingly brotherly counties and states have now raised their swords and guns against each other!

And when the news came out this time, the calibers of Jizhou and Yuzhou were completely inconsistent!

There is no unified, exemplary, official appearance before!

Before, for some news about the cavalry or Guanzhong, they always covered it up and covered it up. Even if they wanted to say it, they were vague. Generally speaking, they would express that they were in dire straits, poor and backward, barbaric, etc. Then for some things in Shandong, they were always temporary workers, kind and anxious, and the communication was not in place, etc.

Anyway, the details and the real situation will not be mentioned at all, and there will be no cause or effect, and the consequences will be delayed as much as possible until everyone forgets it, and then it will be over.

But this time, it is really different!

Not only are there detailed characters, places, and events, but also some specific evidence!

Whether it is the news from Yuzhou or Jizhou, they are extremely detailed, accurate, and true!

It's like the news from the Han Dynasty was covered with a filter, and now it's suddenly revealed!

Of course, it describes the reality of the other side...

The Yuzhou faction will describe in detail how many people the Jizhou guys dragged down in this battle, how much money and food they embezzled, how many soldiers they killed, and how the whole battle failed.

The Jizhou side focuses on how many forts Cao's army broke through, how many people they held hostage, how many acres of land they abandoned, how many families they slaughtered, etc.

Yuzhou began to say that Jizhou had tampered with the grain and grass, faked the swords and guns, secretly stored the war horses, and procrastinated with personnel. Then Jizhou began to talk about Yuzhou's disregard for the lives of others, the suffering of the people, and the cruelty of enslaving the able-bodied men.

These news were all spread vividly among the people.

Then the people of Xu County felt the pain in their stomachs while eating melons...

In the past, there were no melons to eat, everything was covered up, and even if you ate a bite, you would be immediately tempted or turned to other aspects. As a result, now countless big melons are stuffed into your mouth, and then they are stuffed one after another when you can't eat them!

At the beginning, the people still liked to pass on these gossips, but as more and more news came later, even ordinary people felt something was wrong.

Those who are interested understand that in this situation, if there is no one secretly fueling the flames, it would be a ghost.

How many people in Xu County can still do this secretly?

The characters on both sides cannot be offended. If you can get out of it, get out of it quickly. Wait until the dust settles after the fight between them!

After being messed up by the Jizhou faction and the Yuzhou faction, the news from the cavalry has become a foil.

In fact, in Shandong, among the lower-class people, there are still some legends of the cavalry...

After all, Fei Qian's experience and achievements can be called a legendary story, especially after those juvenile stories were spread to Shandong, some people could not help but compare the current cavalry with the cavalry before the Han Dynasty.

Everyone has a heart of admiration for the strong, especially children and teenagers. After hearing these exciting stories, who would not applaud and exclaim, "What a hero!"

Unfortunately, the praise of the common people is not important to these superiors in Shandong.

It can even be said that these rulers of the upper class in Shandong have become accustomed to fooling the people. They feel that they can manipulate the emotions of the people at any time and anywhere, and play with the emotions of the people. It only takes a few minutes to discredit the praise of the cavalry. What they care about is the things that involve their own interests at the moment, and the hidden things behind these things.

When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Yuzhou and Jizhou were in a state of vague division. If Cao Cao had not won in the end and destroyed the two Yuans, but let the two Yuans successfully gain a foothold and divide the north and south of the river, then the Jizhou faction and the Yuzhou faction would probably have been beaten to death!

You must know that the Han Dynasty is no longer better than that year. The eighteen princes in the past have now fallen into the dirt into decaying unknown. The competition is not much worse than that of the Han Dynasty when it was founded!

This battle and trend between the Jizhou faction and the Yuzhou faction may be unspeakable for the onlookers. Intersection Intersection

Isn't this a light in the dung pit?

But those ink stains in history, told the latecomers again and again, the bald head is never lonely!

The storm in Xu County, the more intense, and the more intense, it also affected the Tuantian Camp outside Xu County.

On both sides of the river, traffic contacts were almost cut off. Therefore, at the Tuitian Camp outside Xu County, at this time node, it naturally became an important military force to defend Xu County.

These Tuantian soldiers are naturally not as good as the Chinese leader and the army's equipment are well -equipped and complete, but rusty knife and guns can also cut to death!

Therefore, for the Yuzhou faction in Xu County, they feel that even if the storm is big, there are Ren Jundian soldiers in the side and protection.

Within Tuntian camp, Ren Jun was sitting in the big account, his face was irony.

This storm in Xu County is the dangerous situation that he has never seen since he took office.

The Jizhou faction, the Yuzhou faction, did not have no trouble with each other before, and they had been rushing to each other. However, when the troubled of the generals before, the general of the ride had not yet achieved a climate. It is dancing on the steel wire, and under the steel wire, there is a long abyss.

Ren Jun is not a martial arts general, and it can even be said that he is more inclined to the officials. After all, within the Tuntian camp, things are definitely not fierce and fierce, but all kinds of trivial matters. So in this position, Ren Jun is not because of his personal ability, but because he is a loyal Basai.

Without Cao Cao, there is no Ren Jun's everything!

But in the past two days, everything that happened in Xu County made him startled and angry!

It was a place in Shandong in the Han Dynasty. Even Jizhou and Yuzhou turned their faces. What are the unity at all, and what else do you have to deal with the ride?

It is angry that in Jingzhou, when the Cavalry Army has a change in Shangyong Wuguan, these guys are still thinking about fighting for power!

However, these chaotic emotions of Ren Jun have little impact for Tuantian soldiers, because most of their news is blocked, and many people have begun to prepare for spring plowing according to inertia ...

Is Tuantian, still farming, and soldiers.

Ren Jun felt the anger in his heart, almost going out!

If these people stand in front of him, he will definitely choose to cut these guys into meat sauce!

In the eyes of the storm center, Liu Xie, Liu Xie, is also very worried about the current situation.

The emperor Liu Xie also knew that the more calm and stable, the more he had to be calm and stable, but he looked at the storm and whistled. It seemed that even the palace was shaking in the storm. Grandly invited Shi Sun Rui to ask the countermeasures.

"Ai Qing, now this ... what is good? Intersection "

Liu Xie rubbed his hands, just like a pottery who just joined the industry.

In order to make two more money, I secretly knocked the leak pot twice more. I originally thought that it was a bit more, and then I could look at their own ability. As a result, I did not expect that this hammer went down and smashed a hole in it. Come!

The No. 2 of the Pot Makers, the scholar Sun Rui also had a headache.

However, since the emperor Liu Xie asked, of course, the scholar Sun Rui couldn't show panic, so the scholar Sun Rui cough softly, and then said deeply: "His Majesty does not need to worry. Come down? "

Liu Xie frowned.

Is it not enough to make trouble now?

Seeing Liu Xie's face -colored face, Shi Sun Rui quickly added: "Now that this prime minister is going to Jizhou, it is unexpected, but ... Jizhou may not be prepared ... His Majesty ... In a noisy, who knows the hidden means? "

Liu Xie took a breath.

It is indeed as the scholar Sun Rui said. From this perspective, the more troublesome the Jizhou Yuzhou, the greater the consumption, the higher the importance of Liu Xie. end……

Of course, this is the most ideal state, but the world's affairs are not interested in eighty -nine.

"If it is Guanzhong ..." Liu Xie said half a sentence, and it would not be easy to say. After all, as a emperor, now he is afraid of Jizhou, and he is afraid of Yuzhou, and he must be afraid of the ride of Guanzhong. This is simply the shame of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

Shi Sun Rui worshiped again: "His Majesty, the Great Henan North has water with water, inherited by the scriptures, and this is the case. Just this time, Ji Yu returned to His Majesty, so why do you need to worry about it? That ride in Chang'an, or there is nothing, if the soldiers and horses are far away ... Is it possible that the county today is not the Changan of Tomorrow? "

Liu Xie heard that he was stunned, and he took a look.

Scholes Sun Rui seems to have a little reason for this ...

But if you think about it, it seems a bit wrong.

But now, Liu Xie can only look forward to the development of things as they originally planned.

But can this really develop smoothly?

In early spring, the weather is still freezing cold.

At the junction of Qing and Xu, a group of people are moving out of camp.

Those in the front still look like regular troops. The further back they go, the more old, weak, sick and disabled they are. There are all kinds of people, mixed together, and not in a queue. They are shivering and struggling forward in the cold spring wind.

This is the famous Taishan Army.

The predecessor of the Taishan Army was also a bandit.

The Taishan Army was originally a bandit hiding in Taishan.

Later, the Taishan Army heard the slogan of the Yellow Turbans and started to make trouble. Then they were recruited by Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian...

In other words, the Taishan Army gained benefits again and again from the "trouble" again and again.

However, with the rise of Cao Cao, the good days of the Taishan Army came to an end.

Some died, some were disabled, some were demoted, some were demoted, and the only one left, Zang Ba, was barely holding on by relying on the secrets he learned from the thousand-year-old turtle...

However, now, the "disturbance" in Xu County has come.

Zang Ba smelled the sweetness of opportunity.

Zang Ba looked back.

The soldiers of the Taishan Army obviously still couldn't get rid of the model of peasant soldiers. The soldiers not only had swords and guns, but also all kinds of tattered belongings. Even the whole family followed the army, dragging the vehicles and moving forward together.

The road in spring is not easy to walk.

The road of this team is also not easy to walk.

But it doesn't matter, after so many years, it doesn't matter if there is a little muddy ground!

The troops directly under Zang Ba still look decent, at least the soldiers are slightly neater when they march. Whether they are wearing leather armor or iron armor, at least they are armored soldiers, and they look a little imposing.

The relationship between the Taishan Army and Cao Cao is also ordinary.

Cao Cao once wanted to recruit the Taishan Army, similar to recruiting the Qingzhou soldiers, but Cao Cao's methods were too brutal when he dealt with the Qingzhou soldiers. None of the middle-level officers of the Qingzhou soldiers had a good end, which naturally scared the Taishan Army.

The Taishan Army is different from the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans really have no long-term plans and eat up all the grass around their nests.

Under Zang Ba, the Taishan Army more or less knows how to save some grass around their nests. Under Zang Ba's management, the people of Taishan County can at least survive in troubled times, so the Taishan Army has the ability to recover blood. Even if Zang Ba loses some troops in the war, he can get some supplements. This is also the fundamental reason why Zang Ba can travel around the periphery of Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and other forces without being consumed and defeated in the war.

Cao Cao's biggest pressure before was undoubtedly Yuan Shao in Hebei. At that time, he had no intention or ability to uproot the core members of the Taishan Gang, such as Zang Ba, Wu Dun, and Yin Li. If they were not handled properly and could not be eradicated, the Taishan Army would revive. Therefore, Cao Cao and the Taishan Army once colluded, which was a helpless move. Even so, Cao Cao still used some means in the later period to divide and alienate the generals in the Taishan Army, leading to mutual infighting and killing...

Zang Ba rode his horse and walked slowly in the queue.

The villages along the way were deserted, and the fields were full of weeds.

These places used to be inhabited, with children laughing and smoke rising. Now, at most, there are only some weeds and bones left.

Zang Ba couldn't help but look up and sighed softly, "I don't know how many more lonely ghosts will be added to this chaos! '

'General...' The confidant next to Zang Ba heard this and couldn't help asking, 'Which side are we on this time? '

Zang Ba snorted, his face showing a bit of coldness, 'Which side God is on, we are on that side! '

'General, are you talking about the Son of Heaven? 'The confidant asked.

Zang Ba couldn't help laughing, 'Son of Heaven! Son of Heaven! I'm talking about God! Not God's son! '

'Who is God then? 'The confidant asked.

Zang Ba laughed, but didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed forward, 'Prime Minister Cao must have gained a lot in the past few days... I will lead the troops here as he wished... But the people of Jizhou are not easy to deal with... Once Prime Minister Cao's soldiers turn around, Jizhou will inevitably be in chaos! At that time, it depends on whether Yecheng falls first or Xu County dies first! Of course, it is also possible to attract the cavalry...'

'General...' The confidant scratched his head, 'This... Why does it sound so chaotic to me...'

Zang Ba laughed, 'It's right to be chaotic! '

If it's not chaotic, how can the Taishan Army have a chance?

If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taishan Army could only be a bandit on Mount Tai at best, how could they be recruited?

If it weren't for the war among the princes in the Central Plains, how could the Taishan Army profit from it and become an independent army?

If it weren't for the unrest and endless wars in the world, how could Zang Ba transform himself from a fugitive to a general of the court?

For Zang Ba, he never thought about surviving in the cracks between the two powerful armies of Fei Qian and Cao Cao, and then building a great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to expand his momentum and gather strength.

As for whether Fei Qian or Cao Cao won in the end, it didn't matter to Zang Ba.

What mattered was whether Fei Qian gave more chips or Cao Cao gave more benefits at the last moment!

Even if Fei Qian and Cao Cao didn't offer high prices at the end, Zang Ba could still make a good profit in Yuzhou!

The more he gets, the stronger he will be. When he negotiates the price in the future, he can ask for a higher price...

So, Zang Ba just wants to make the situation in Yuzhou more chaotic and make it more variable.

Only in this way can he have more and greater chances of success in the future!

The confidant pondered for a long time, and seemed to understand Zang Ba's idea a little bit, and said: "General... In this case, will they... ask us to rush forward first? In this way, we can't stand behind and get the benefits! '

Zang Ba glanced at the confidant, "Ha, kid, it's okay... But since you have also thought of this problem, why don't you think about how to solve it? '

'This...' The confidant stared. He has racked his brains to come up with this, and it would be difficult for him to come up with a solution.

'Hahaha...' Zang Ba laughed, 'Did you forget? How did we get here? '

'We? ' The confidant was puzzled.

Zang Ba showed a bit of sarcasm, 'We followed Prime Minister Cao! Wherever he goes, we go there! But, look at us, we have families to support... So isn't it normal for us to be one step behind Prime Minister Cao? 』

Zang Ba looked up and gazed into the distance.

Yuzhou is going to be in chaos!

Zhongyuan is also going to be in chaos!

This big man is probably going to be finished!

But, hahahaha...

What does this have to do with me, Zang Ba?
