Chang Feng and the others have been in the mountains for a long time, and they know what it means to be superb in archery.

But what is more threatening than Tai Shi Ci's archery skills is Tai Shi Ci's record. Tai Shi Ci did not arrive in Mount Tai for a long time, that is, one or two months, but he fought many times with Yuan Xi, the assassin of Qingzhou, and maintained a complete victory record, and his baggage was all robbed, which made Yuan Xi very embarrassed, and even affected the war in Xuzhou, and had to transfer Yan Liang, the most warlike general under his command, to fight in the mountains.

What are the consequences of being an enemy of such a person? Chang Feng is reluctant to imagine. Besides, Tai Shici also made it clear, it's not that I can't kill you, it's that General Sun won't let you. With his record and archery skills as a foundation, the threat of this sentence is excellent.

Chang Feng made a wise decision and took Tai Shi Ci to see Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was nearby, and after the loss of Lu County, he did not return to Xuzhou. How important Lu County is to Xuzhou, he knows very well in his heart. He was originally stationed in Bian County, but when he learned that Sun Jian had entered Yanzhou and Cao Ang had transferred the main force out of Lu County, he rushed to the vicinity with his people, hoping to have a chance to recapture Lu County.

Seeing Tai Shici, Ji Ling was surprised. He looked at Tai Shi Ci, then at the two guards behind Tai Shi Ci, and nodded. Needless to say, Tai Shi Ci has the guts, and the two guards around him can also deal with things without being surprised, which is not easy.

"I have heard the name of the captain for a long time, and when I see it today, the name is well deserved, and I am full of courage."

Tai Shi Ci was very relaxed and returned the salute. General Ji laughed. I dared to come because we were friends and foes. ”

Ji Ling laughed. He could understand Tai Shici's words. "The captain is right, Tao Xuzhou and Sun Yuzhou are old friends, allies, not enemies. I heard that Tao Xuzhou has ceded Pengcheng and several counties in the East China Sea to General Sun, presumably this Lu State has also returned to Yuzhou, right? So, can I let it go? ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at the forced smile and smiled, but he couldn't hide the lonely Ji Ling in his eyes, and shook his head. Liu He entered Xuzhou, Tao Qian's position was in jeopardy, Ji Ling's switch to others was contrary to loyalty, and the future of following Tao Qian was worrying, which can be described as a dilemma.

"General, there is a plan to rebel against the general, and the Yuan father and son brothers don't want to get involved in Xuzhou. The Sun Tao Alliance is as safe as a rock, didn't I come to ask General Ji for help? Whether the country of Lu is returned to Xuzhou or Yuzhou, there are two envoys to discuss, as a general, do our own thing, and complete the mission entrusted by the two envoys can have a clear conscience. ”

Ji Ling was relieved and asked Tai Shici to take a seat. Tai Shi Ci explained his intentions, Sun Ce was planning to take Shanyang, hoping that Tai Shi Ci could respond to Sun Jian's attack on Rencheng. He did not make a specific request and authorized Tai Shi Ci to act cheaply. Tai Shici thought of Ji Ling as soon as he received the order, and immediately crossed the mountains and mountains from Laiwu to Yibian County to find Ji Ling, hoping to cooperate with Ji Ling and plan Sun Ce's plan.

After hearing this, Ji Ling was a little worried. "Can you take Lu County?"

"In the case of Lu County alone, it is difficult to attack in a short period of time, and if you expand your field of vision, it is not that there is no possibility at all."

"Please also ask the captain for advice."

Tai Shici didn't shirk, sat opposite Ji Ling, broke a branch, and pointed to the ground. Lu County is the capital of Lu State, the city is strong and deep, if there is not enough troops and time, it will not be able to take it in a short time. However, Lu County is not an isolated city, and its role is reflected in the main road between Yanzhou and Xuzhou. If the cities around Lu County are taken and the battle line is pushed to the territory of Yanzhou, then the significance of Lu County to Yanzhou will be weakened, and Cao Ang is likely to take the initiative to abandon Lu County.

This condition was not available before, but now it is. Sun Jian was attacking Rencheng, and after he succeeded, it was easy to advance into Dongping and Jibei, and Lu County was already among them, and Cao Ang had to withdraw if he didn't retreat.

Tai Shi Ci didn't say anything, but Ji Ling understood. If this plan can be realized, the state of Lu will be connected with Dongping, Jibei, Rencheng, and Shanyang, and it will obviously not be controlled by Tao Qian anymore, and the state of Lu will return to the rule of Sun Ce, and Ji Ling can also naturally become Sun Ce's subordinate and get rid of the current predicament.

Ji Ling comprehended, agreed to Tai Shici's request, and promised to persuade Zang Ba and others to send troops together.

——

Zang Ba is in his early thirties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and always has a kind smile on his face, he doesn't look like a decisive warrior, but like a rich man. He was of medium build, slightly chubby, and somewhat unusual among most of the lean bandits.

But as soon as Tai Shici met, he felt that Zang Ba was not easy to deal with. Zang Ba can become the leader of the thieves of Mount Tai is not because of his martial arts, but his mind, this person is neither like Chang Feng and others who can use glory and wealth to tempt or threaten with force, nor can he be persuaded with meritorious deeds like Ji Ling, of course he also hopes to make meritorious deeds, glory and wealth, but these are not enough. He has a different pursuit from ordinary people.

But he didn't know what kind of pursuit Zang Ba would have.

"Taishi Ziyi, I have heard of a big name for a long time." Zang Ba arched his hand and smiled. "Didn't you fight in Qingzhou, why did you come to Lu State?"

"I want to ask Zang Jun to help him and send troops to attack Dongping."

"You are brave soldiers, Yuan Qingzhou can't help you, do you still need our help?" Zang Ba rubbed his thighs with his hands, his hands were thick. "Besides, we're just a bunch of bandits, it's okay to go around in the mountains, get out of the mountains, and wait to be cut down by others?"

Tai Shi Ci was thinking about how to persuade Zang Ba, when he suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Zang Jun is right, in fact, I am similar to you, it's okay to go around in the mountains, and I can't go out of the mountains." Once I get out of the mountain, Yuan Xi can beat me to the ground. There is no way, the children of the family have high vision, a lot of knowledge, and a wide range of contacts, how can we children from poor families be able to compete. Looking at the world, the only one who can compete with the Yuan brothers without falling behind is General Sun. ”

The corners of Zang Ba's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes softened a lot.

"However, General Sun also fought very hard. Without the support of the powerful family, he has Yuzhou, but only twenty or thirty thousand people, and now Yuan Tan is young and strong in Yanzhou County, and the military advantage is obvious, and General Sun has no choice but to gather the heroes of the world and fight to the death with the Yuan family. Zang Jun is the head of the heroes of Mount Tai, so he must not stay out of it, right? ”

Zang Ba blinked, his arm was on his thigh, his hand touched the beard on his lips, and he looked at Tai Shici, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes. He had heard of Tai Shi Ci's achievements, and he also knew Tai Shi Ci's martial arts, but he didn't know that Tai Shi Ci still had such good eloquence. But Tai Shici was right, the battle between Sun Ce and Yuan Tan was by no means a struggle between two separatist princes, but a struggle between two classes.

Sun Ce is a poor family, and Yuan Tan is a family. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the Sun family and his son nominally occupy the land of Sanzhou, but they do not have the support of the powerful family, and the troops they can get are limited. The Sun family's father and son together may not be Yuan Tan's opponents, and Yuan Shao hasn't even made a move.

The strength of the family is strong. If they are also defeated, no one can challenge Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will win the world, and the children of the poor family in the world will have no chance to get ahead, and then he can only be in the mountains and be a thief for a lifetime, and he may not even have the opportunity to be a thief.

This is not only the battle of the Sun family's father and son, but also the struggle of the Hanmen.

Zang Ba stood up and bowed down. "Being able to fight side by side with heroes like General Sun and Taishi Ziyi, although there is no regret in death."
