Zhang Liao withdrew his gaze from the high mountain in front of him, which he could not see clearly even if he raised his head to the extreme, and looked at the surging crowd behind him with compassion. This is his army, he led them from Youzhou, crushed and swept away the four hundred years of Buyeo, and then turned sharply down on the map, with the seal of King Zhao across the Jizhou Plain, across the great river dividing the north and south, and blitzed Dongjun Yuema Dongping, until he arrived at Mount Tai.

This mountain is the dividing line in Zhang Liao's heart.

Walk through here, and every step will be the end for him and them. The end of the samurai will always be the battlefield of death, the horse leather shroud, their bodies will remain in the east, and their heads will go to the Central Plains, and their souls will return to their hometown...... But if they are lucky enough, they may meet their king in Congtai and accept the canonization with a great record that they will never surpass in their lifetime!

In Zhang Liao's heart, or in the hearts of all the samurai in this era, even though it is an incomparable achievement to open up territory, it is the real immortal honor to calm the world when the world is in turmoil!

As for why? Because the frontier they opened was not the Xiongnu under Emperor Xiaowu, it was Buyeo and Goguryeo, which were almost powerless compared to the huge north, and in the south, it was the powerful princes, and it was the true ambition of the samurai to pacify them and reunify the mountains and rivers in the sea, and the descendants of later generations could enjoy stability and peace.

Probably true princes should think like this, but whoever does not have the will to unify the world, and does not even have such an ambition, how can he be worthy of being called a prince? That can only be described as a rebellion against the separatists.

No one can reverse the general situation, if only Yanbei thinks like this today, then the sea is not an empty word. But there are too many real princes in the world, everyone wants to rely on their own strength to pacify the world, they all think that they are right, everyone else is wrong, when the contradictions cannot be reconciled, all that remains is the complete destruction brought by war.

The reason why Mount Tai is a line in Zhang Liao's heart is that Gaine, as a clear-minded general, Zhang Liao always controls the morale of his subordinate troops. And now is the time to expect morale to drop to a low point. At the same time, it is also the moment when they encounter another strong enemy. The name of this strong enemy is called Zang Ba.

In the battle for Yanzhou initiated by Lü Bu when he was welcomed into Yanzhou by Chen Gong, they fought together against Cao Cao as robes. But Zang Ba is not a subordinate of Lu Bu, but as a joint Qingxu Haoqiang together to attack Cao Cao, later Lu Bu was defeated and returned to the Yan family, Zang Ba still led the troops between Mount Tai and Qingxu, relying on mountain traffic and Cao, Yuan fought many times, and later although Cao Cao surrendered, but still as an independent general across Qingxu.

It's very contradictory, right, Cao Cao, who surrendered to Zang Ba, was active in the land of Qingxu. There is no way to do this, although Zang Ba is now a powerful hero, but his background is much lower than that of ordinary Haoqiang, although he is not a native country, but he is not an upper-class aristocrat like Cao Cao, who aspires to the world. When he was young, his father, Huaxian Prison Peng in Taishan County, was punished for not agreeing to Taishou violating the law and killing prisoners.

Tao Qian, who took office, knew his bravery, so he recruited him as a cavalry lieutenant when the Yellow Turban was in trouble in the land of Qingxu, and extinguished the Xuzhou Yellow Turban in a blink of an eye.

The composition of this army is composed of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans driven by Zang Ba and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans taken by Zang Ba's prestige.

Zhang Liao, who had worked with Zang Ba for a short time, was well aware of the power possessed by the Taishan leader, known as the slave...... He is the benchmark figure of the above-mentioned separatist rebellion.

No one in Qingxu Yan Sanzhou can get past this character to get what they want.

Crossing the line of Mount Tai, Zhang Liao is about to face Zang Ba, which is the source of his worries, he doesn't know if Zang Ba has a heart to follow Cao Cao, or is willing to help Yan. If you can get the effect of Zang Ba, Qingxu Yanyu can be used as Yan's bag. And if you can't get Zang Ba's allegiance, the main force of the army behind you will not be mentioned for the time being...... Zhang Liao can't see Lu Yi.

Because in the middle of him and Lu Yi, several cities were occupied by Zang Ba.

Zhang Liao fought a few battles in Dongjun, but not that time when he stormed Cao Cao's cities, but those cities surrendered due to insufficient troops and the main force, but the cities in Taishan County were different.

Zang Ba has enough troops and enough prestige to keep these cities behind closed doors. If it can't be negotiated, what awaits Zhang Liao may be an extremely bad dead end. The road ahead is not clear, and although Zhang Liao played Cao Cao around before, he can no longer deceive anyone when he comes here...... Cao Cao was not an ordinary independent general, he had many excellent staff members in the world who advised him, and by now he must have seen the dilemma of his subordinates having no food, so as to judge that he wanted to go to Qingzhou through Mount Tai.

In the last ten years, Cao Jun was able to chase him to Taishan County.

"Take a look, see if Xuan Gao is willing to see me." Zhang Liao said this, so he summoned Beiyan over and ordered him to let hundreds of soldiers remove their clothes and armor and go southwest in the costume of a common man, "If Mount Tai is not passable, you can only plunder the Lu country to defend Lu County, and life and death depend on your fate." ”

All of Zhang Liao's advances were not for victory, and everyone knew that it was impossible to expect victory with a partial division, he was just to delay time, delaying until Yanbei led the main force to cross the river, but at the moment it seems that this wish is even more difficult.

Zang Ba didn't let him wait too long, at the foot of Mount Tai, not long after a small group of cavalry galloped over, the leader with Zang Ba's banner, marched close to the army in front of the 100 steps Le Ma shouted in Qingzhou official dialect and asked: "I am General Zang's subordinate, General Zhang is here?" ”

Yan Rou in front of the formation said in a loud voice: "The general is behind, does General Zang have something to say?" ”

"Please General Zhang enter the city for a while, my general is waiting in Bo County!"

As soon as the words fell, the rider turned his horse and left without waiting for a response, leading a group of cavalry to whizz like the wind, whistling away, leading Zhang Liao's subordinates to look at each other.

Yan Rou turned around and said to Zhang Liao: "General, Boxian can't go, it's better for us to lead troops south and attack Lu State!" ”

Chen Gong was also worried, the general of their army was only Zhang Liao, once Zang Ba had bad intentions and captured Zhang Liao in the city, it would be equivalent to burying their entire army. Although the threat of attacking Lu was greater, at least that was something they could decide.

"General Wenyuan, think twice!"

Zhang Liao stared at the top of the mountain for a moment, then pulled the reins on the horse and said, "Don't think twice, I'll go to Boxian to see him!" ”
