How powerful is Zang Ba at the junction of the three states of Qingxu Yan? Let's compare Yanbei, the owner of the Yan family, with Liaodong County, then Zang Ba is to Taishan County, just like Yanbei is to Liaodong County; Whether it is Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, the Langya and Qi states in the south of Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the north under their rule are just like the Liaoxi County under Liu Yu in the past...... What was the situation in Liaoxi County under Liu Yu?

The past, present and future, don't care about him Liu Bo'an!

Zang Ba's prestige in this land, just like this, is even better than Yanbei in Youzhou at that time, because compared to Yanbei, Zang Ba has been running the state and county much stronger than Yanbei since he led the doorman to save his father from exile. The reason why there is no prestige of Yanbei in the north today is that there is no chance for Yanbei to catch up with the two chaos and seek Dong like Yanbei by fate.

Now, although this majestic man still has a resolute face and even a strong face, his eyes are full of fatigue and sorrow.

This is all because half an hour ago, he single-handedly tied up a banner and called Zhang Liao of Boxian County. Now Zhang Liao was sitting at the foot of his hall, and never said anything to him, but when he entered the city, he said that he was hungry, asked him if he had any food and drink, and then ate and drank as if no one was around him in the company of the samurai.

Not only Zang Ba, but even the soldiers who followed him couldn't help but look at Zhang Liao, who was blind to the sword soldiers and warriors, and ate himself arrogantly. Let's not talk about whether it is stupid or brave to ride into the enemy city alone as the main general. Stupidity or bravery, this alone is bold...... What boy can not admire?

"Brother, is this Zhang Wenyuan bluffing?"

Yin Li watched Zhang Liao eat four large bowls of wild rice, and then asked the servants next to him to serve the rice again, and after drinking the sake, he still licked the corners of his mouth unsatisfied, and whispered to Zang Ba with an ugly face. But seeing Zang Ba give him a helpless look, he shook his head and said softly: "He is really hungry!" ”

Zhang Liao was really hungry, and although his subordinates did not run out of food, they were not far behind. The danger of running out of food always woke him up, because the grain and grass were scarce enough to be transported in large carts, and he ordered his soldiers to abandon most of their chariots after the attack on Xiahou Yuan, so that they could travel lightly. As a result, the burden of each soldier was raised, and each sergeant carried three days' worth of rations on his back, and the shortage of food and grass was not a secret in the army.

In this case, even he, a general, can only force himself to eat half full at every meal...... This is true of the soldiers, and if the generals eat a full meal every day, they may mutini at any time when morale is low.

No matter how good a general is, he can't avoid it.

However, people who practice martial arts are all big-bellied men, and they have to eat two catties of food in their spare time before the war, and now they only eat fifty percent of the food every day when they march to war, how can they stand it? The most important thing is that in fact, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba are facing the same embarrassing situation, and he doesn't know how to open his mouth to Zang Ba and let him go.

If it is a request, it will lose its courage first and let others take advantage of it; If so, ...... can be pulled down, not to mention that the current situation is strong and I am weak, even if Zang Ba turns to the heart of the Yan clan again, he will definitely not accept persuasion to surrender.

In this way, things are like a dead knot.

It's better to take care of your stomach first.

Finally, Zhang Liao ate and drank enough wine, sat there and hugged his fists at Zang Ba and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!" ”

"Wenyuan doesn't have to see outside, I heard that you voted for the Yan clan with Wenhou, and later led the troops out of the fortress to collect Fuyu, Goguryeo in Lizhou, and made a meritorious feat of opening up the territory. Zang Ba smiled and waved his hand to remove the cups and bowls from the people, and also hugged his fists and said: "But aren't you afraid that you will come and harm me alone, and the army will be scattered?" I heard you're still at the foot of Mount Tai, and ......."

Didn't Zang Ba hear that although he was in Taishan County, he was extremely concerned about the situation in the Battle of Dongjun, and secretly calculated the casualties of Zhang Liaobu in his heart and asked, "There are more than 20,000 subordinates, right?" If you die here, what will they do, is that too child's play? ”

"Not so many, but more than 10,000." This kind of thing can be known by sending a few scouts, Zhang Liao confided very calmly, waved his hand and said: "If Xuan Gao wants to harm me, he won't invite me over, not to mention that even if Liao is not here, the soldiers and horses have their own generals to lead the army elsewhere, so you won't have to bother...... After General Lu went north, I heard that you fought a few battles with the Cao clan and the Yuan clan, and now you have formed an alliance to make peace? ”

The number of soldiers and horses, Zhang Liao did not deceive Zang Ba, his subordinates Yan Rou and Yan Zhijun led Hu to ride in the north, one guarded Gucheng, and the other fled to camp on the south bank of the river after defeating Cao Renminfu, all waiting for Yan to advance south. Excluding the casualties in the battle in which Fan County was killed, there were indeed only more than 10,000 people left in Mount Tai.

"Compared to crusading against Zang, they all have more important things, where can they take care of Zang." Zang Ba said it lightly, this more important thing is undoubtedly to start a war with Yanbei, who is the most threatening to the princes of the world. Zang Ba said, his face gradually became serious: "Wenyuan, today you and I still have the love of robes, I will not harm you, but within three days, your soldiers and horses will withdraw from Mount Tai, I don't care where they go, but if you stay in Mount Tai County after three days...... Zang will no longer care about his feelings, and he will be the leader of the soldiers. ”

As soon as Zang Ba's words came out, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became solemn, Zhang Liao frowned, and said, "Xuan Gao really didn't let Zhang go to Qingzhou?" ”

"To each his own master." Zang Ba nodded and said: "If Wen Yuan wants to blame, then I have to let you blame, but if you want to get through with me, it's impossible!" ”

Guantong means collusion.

Zhang Liao is not a person who is known for his eloquence, and when he saw Zang Ba's firm words, he had no idea, so he had to get up and say: "In this case, Zhang only has one meal for Xie Xuangao, and if we meet on the battlefield another day, I will also invite you to eat this meal." ”

Seeing Zhang Liao turn his head and leave, Zang Ba also struggled a little in his heart, and finally blurted out to stop Zhang Liao and said, "Don't go to Ludi!" ”

Ludi?

Zhang Liao, who was about to walk out of the lobby, felt a thorn in his heart, Ludi was the place he had always wanted to go, but now that it came out of Zang Ba's mouth, it meant that this was obviously not a secret among Cao Jun. He turned around to express his appreciation, and said to Zang Ba: "General Zang, you don't want to join this battle, because you think this is a war between the Yan clan, the Cao clan, and the Yuan clan, and it has nothing to do with your Taishan people...... But whether you want to or not, Mount Tai is caught in the middle, you are not princes, and you have no ability to compete for the world. or be the vanguard of Yan's southern expedition and pacify the world; Either be Cao Yuan's pawn and use the mantis arm as a car. If you think about it, Zhang won't say much, but as a robe in the past, Liao still has a word to give to the general. ”

Before Zhang Liao walked out of the hall, he left one last sentence.

"The two counties of Mount Tai and Langya are the foundation of Cao Yuan, and the foundation of the Yan clan is north of the river...... On the side of the couch, let you sleep soundly? ”
