Chapter 166 There is no one in the world who cannot be persuaded by a military advisor

"General Liu has always believed in Brother Xuan Gao, and he sent me here today just to clear up the misunderstanding. But since Cao Cao sent someone to see Brother Xuan Gao and asked to seize the opportunity to seize Beihai, even though General Liu and I both believed in Xuan Gao

My brother has no such intention, but all the officials and generals in Beihai have doubts."

Zhou Xing continued: "Now General Liu is going to send troops to attack Yuan Tan. It is a time when there is an urgent shortage of troops. If Brother Xuan Gao can allocate three thousand troops to assist General Liu and work together, then the doubts will be eliminated. Brother Xuan Gao

What do you think?"

Zang Ba did not reply immediately after hearing this, but was thinking about it in his mind.

He has 7,000 troops. If 3,000 are sent to follow Liu Bei to attack Yuan Tan, the remaining 4,000 will not be able to threaten Beihai.

Moreover, his three thousand men are still in Liu Bei's hands. If he attacks Beihai, the lives of these brothers may not be saved.

The condition proposed by Zhou Xing not only reassures Liu Bei about himself, but also allows Liu Bei to get help from soldiers and horses. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The other party is indeed Liu Bei’s military advisor!

Seeing Zang Ba's silence, Sun Guan quickly advised: "I think it's okay. If we can help General Liu capture Qingzhou, General Liu can also help us capture Xuzhou in the future. Commander Zang, I am willing to lead troops to help General Liu attack Yuan

Tan."

Zang Ba looked at Sun Guan, then at Sun Kang and Zhou Xing. The three people in front of him were already a family, and Zhou Xing was Liu Bei's military advisor. The Sun brothers would definitely turn to Liu Bei instead of Cao Cao.<

/p>

At present, my only choice is Liu Bei.

As Zhou Xing said, Cao Cao didn't really think about himself, he just used himself to deal with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous man who treats the people well and is very popular. He is also a member of the royal family with the surname Liu. If you follow him, you may be able to develop better in the future.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba made up his mind and decided to assist Liu Bei.

"Okay, that's what I mean. Zhongtai, you lead three thousand elite troops to help General Liu. I will guard Langya to guard against Cao Cao's troops coming to seize it. At the same time, I will guard the southern gate for General Liu!"

Zang Ba then said to Zhou Xing: "Wen Sheng, go back and tell General Liu that wherever Zang Ba is needed in the future, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhou Xing was secretly happy. Zang Ba said this, which proved that he had decided to lean towards Liu Bei and join Liu Bei's service. It was only a matter of time.

"Brother Xuan Gao has great righteousness and is willing to help General Liu to help the world, fight against rebellion and eliminate evil. He will be praised by the world, and he will also be ranked as Fang Bo in the future! Let me first express my gratitude to General Liu!"

Zhou Xing stood up as he spoke, bowed slightly to Zang Ba, and cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

Zang Ba quickly stood up and returned the courtesy: "This is what a tyrant should do."

After the matter was settled, Zhou Xing sent someone to rush back to Beihai to report to Liu Bei that he would stay in Ju County to rest for the night and would leave at the same time as Sun Guan tomorrow.

On the second day, Sun Guan led 3,000 elite troops and left Ju County for Beihai.

Although Zhou Xing and Sun Guan set out on the road at the same time, they had to rush back to Xiami to meet Liu Bei first, so after leaving the city they rushed towards Beihai, with Sun Guan leading his troops behind slowly.

Send Zhou Xing, Sun Guan, Zang Ba and Wu Dun Yinli away and return to the city.

"Zang Shuai, Sun Bo'an and Sun Zhongtai seem to have their hearts set on Liu Bei." Wu Dun said.

"Yes, Commander Zang, we shouldn't let Zhongtai lead his troops to assist Liu Bei. If the three thousand soldiers and horses do not leave, and when Liu Bei leads his troops to leave, we can suddenly attack Beihai like Lu Bu did when he captured Xiapi, and Qingzhou will be able to

It’s ours. Even if we can’t get Qingzhou, we can get Beihai. Langya is connected to the North Sea. With these two counties, we can increase our troops and strengthen our army. It will be easy to capture Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the future.” Yin Li continued.<

/p>

After hearing what the two of them said, Zang Ba shook his head and said: "No, Liu Xuande has a reputation for benevolence, and he also has the hearts of the people in Qingxu and Xuzhou. Even though Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, wouldn't it be destroyed now? If he doesn't win the hearts of the people, there will be no one to help us. We

It is not appropriate to be an enemy of Liu Xuande. Besides, Zhou Wensheng is Liu Xuande's military advisor and the brother-in-law of Bo'an and Zhongtai. Zhongtai tried his best to help save my father in the past and has a brotherly relationship with me. If he is an enemy of Liu Xuande at this time,

, that is to become an enemy of Sun Zhongtai, I can't do that!"

Wu Dun thought for a while and said: "Zhou Wensheng is both wise and brave. It would be great if we could persuade him to abandon Liu Bei and be with us. In the future, if we get the two states of Qingxu, we can give one to Zhou Wensheng and the Sun brothers. We will be proud of ourselves."

It is not impossible for the two states to join forces and compete for supremacy in the world."

Zang Ba shook his head: "Annu, do you think Zhou Wensheng will abandon Liu Xuande and become a person of the same mind as us? If so, I'm afraid he will not be willing to live under me. Furthermore, Qingzhou is owned by Yuan Shao, and Xuzhou is owned by Yuan Shao.

It belongs to Cao Cao. Even if we defeat Liu Xuande, we may not be able to defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. How can we capture the two states of Qing and Xu?"

"Well, that's what Zang Shuai said." Wu Dun thought carefully and nodded, "Let's not talk about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, even Liu Bei, it is difficult for us to win at the moment! As Zhou Wensheng said, Liu Bei's Guan Yu Zhang Fei

Together with Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals, they have more troops and horses than us. Even if we take advantage of the opportunity and seize Beihai, if Liu Bei returns and Donglai troops come with him, we are afraid that we will not be able to defend Beihai. In this case, we seize Beihai.

It is also useless. Instead, it will make Liu Bei an enemy, and in the end, even Langya may not be able to defend it."

Yin Li recalled the previous martial arts competition with Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing won easily, but according to Zhou Xing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were far stronger than him. These two men were famous, and their names as the black-faced general and the red-faced general were famous and feared.<

/p>

"We almost fell into Cao Cao's trick, but fortunately Zhou Wensheng came!"

Yin Li had previously wanted to persuade Zang Ba to capture Beihai, because after capturing Beihai, he might get the entire Qingzhou as Cao Cao said.

If he wins the entire Qingzhou, Yin Li will become the governor of a county no matter what, instead of following Zang Ba in a county like now, without even having an official title.

Zang Ba felt relieved that the two brothers finally understood his intentions.

"So you should understand why I agreed to let Zhongtai lead troops to help Liu Xuande. If Liu Xuande defeats Yuan Tan and captures Qingzhou, we can live in Langya without worries. If we want to capture Xuzhou in the future, we can also use Liu Xuande's help.

If Liu Xuande is defeated, he will definitely rely on Cao Cao. It will not be too late for us to surrender to Cao Cao then. But in my opinion, Liu Xuande will not be defeated this time."

Although Zang Ba has no heart for Liu Bei and still has his own little plans in mind, he understands that under the current situation, following Liu Bei is the best choice for him.

While in Beihai, Liu Bei received the news that Zhou Xing had persuaded Zang Ba to send troops to help. He was overjoyed and said to Jian Yong and others: "Hahaha, Gongyou is right. If the military strategist takes action, he will be successful immediately. There is no way in this world."
