Chapter three hundred and forty seventh general trend
The Taishan Army is a group similar to the Black Mountain Army, and Zang Ba's status is very similar to Zhang Yan. They are only nominal leaders, and there are many leaders of different sizes below them. Zang Ba is just the general leader of the Taishan Army, and he has no influence on those below.
People do not have absolute control.
This resulted in the Taishan Army being scattered when attacking. These soldiers and horses fighting independently could only exert strong combat effectiveness when defending.
Zang Ba led an army of 30,000 to Yongqiu, and he may not have had other ideas in mind. However, after seeing the military appearance and equipment of the Ya soldiers, he immediately gave up his small thoughts. He stopped the army ten miles away and took several soldiers with him.
Hundreds of horses galloped to the gate of Yongqiu City and asked to see the general.
Chen Cheng parked his army here, waiting for Zang Ba's troops to come and join him. When he heard that he had arrived, he immediately ordered people to take him to the county government office. Zang Ba was eight feet long and extremely powerful, so he could crush Mount Tai.
A group of thieves, kneading hundreds of thousands of people together, at least on the surface. His martial arts and courage have few rivals, and he usually has a higher eye than his head, but after meeting the tooth soldiers, all of whom are big and round,
I can only put away my pride.
After entering the lobby of the county government office, Zang Ba looked up and saw Chen Cheng sitting on a chair, and Lu Bu standing behind Chen Cheng holding a Fangtian painted halberd. He had already seen Pound before, and he was not tall.
Next to him, he thought he was the strongest general under the general, but now he suddenly saw Lu Bu, who was nine feet tall, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"I heard that the general is the most brave in the world. Could it be that the man standing behind the chair holding a weapon is the real general?"
At this moment, Zang Ba had such a strange idea in his head. But soon, this idea was overturned by himself. Although the nine-foot-tall armored soldier had an extraordinary bearing, the figure sitting on the chair
Only people have the true demeanor of a hegemon.
Zang Ba had met Tao Qian and Liu Bei before. They were both strong-willed people with convincing charms. But now he felt that even the two lords of Xuzhou combined could not match the strength of the general in front of him.
General style.
He pushed the golden mountain, bowed down like a jade pillar, and said: "I, Zang Ba, pay my respects to the general!"
Chen Cheng looked at Zang Ba's majestic body and said with a smile: "General Zhendong, please rise. The general is here today, which makes me very happy. When Cao Cao is captured and killed, I will report to the emperor and worship the general as the governor of Langya."
General Zhendong is just an empty title, but Governor Langya is a real benefit. Zang Ba was overjoyed and immediately said: "I am willing to die for the general!"
Although the Taishan Army was divided into two groups, they had always been despised by the scholar-bureaucrats. Being able to be canonized by the emperor and become the governor of a county naturally had great appeal to Zang Ba. He thought to himself: It seems that he has come to the right place this time!
Chen Cheng and Zang Ba talked about the situation in Xuzhou for a while. Seeing Zang Ba frequently looking at Lu Bu behind him, he introduced: "This is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, who will serve as my bodyguard for the time being."
Lu Bu? Zang Ba felt that this name sounded very familiar. When he thought about it again, wasn't it the prince who once occupied Guanzhong and was the envy of the world? After the general defeated this man by hundreds, he actually dared to use him as a bodyguard.
?
Zang Ba bowed his hand to Lu Bu and said, "It turns out to be General Lu Bu. I have admired his name for a long time."
Lu Bu sneered and said, "How famous can a certain family be?"
His voice was very strange, as if it were made by rubbing metal against each other, which left a deep impression on people. Lu Bu's voice was not like this before, but it suddenly changed, and it also made a deep impression on people.
No one knows why.
Zang Ba couldn't help being stunned and turned to look at Chen Cheng. He didn't know if Lu Bu was like this or if it was because of the general's instructions. Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Xuangao. General Lu always talks like this. And his old subordinates
General Gao Shun was killed by Cao Cao and is in a bad mood, so we don’t need to worry about him."
Lu Bu snorted again when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "This time we fight with Cao Cao, a certain family will cut off his head and use it as a drowning weapon!"
Zang Ba thought to himself: Lu Bu is so rude, but the general is not angry. Is this because he is broad-minded or is he incompetent?
While they were talking, Xu Rong, who had arranged a camp for Zang Bajun, walked in. Behind him were Fazheng, Meng Da, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Zang Hong and others. Chen Gong, Zhang Miao,
Zhang Chao and Zang Hong were both local scholars in Yanzhou. They were very dissatisfied with Cao Cao. After Bian Rang was killed, they felt even more sad.
So Chen Cheng raised his arms and called out, and these people responded in large numbers, seizing cities in various places and siding with the imperial court. Among these people, Chen Gong was the first to recommend Cao Cao as the shepherd of Yanzhou, and he was also entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao
Zhang Chao was a local wealthy man in Yongqiu, and all the soldiers and horses in the city belonged to him. Zang Hong was a disciple of the Yuan family, and he was able to reach a high position because of Yuan Shao's recommendation.
The rest of the people all had their own backgrounds, either famous scholars or powerful people. Although they had been suppressed by Cao Cao for a long time, once they raised the flag of rebellion, Yanzhou immediately changed. While Chen Cheng was making excuses with these people, he also
But he became wary in his heart.
People like them can betray Cao Cao for their own interests, and they can betray the imperial court for their own interests in the future. Besides, many of them have various relationships with Yuan Shao. After killing Cao Cao, they will not become easier.
Yuan Benchu, right?
Although Yuan Shao is still in a stalemate with Gongsun Zan, the balance of victory has slowly shifted to Yuan Shao's side. The reason is very simple. The population under Yuan Shao's rule is much larger than that under Gongsun Zan's rule. In this era, population is the most important factor.
The basis of everything. A larger population can produce more food and have more soldiers and horses.
In terms of fighting, Gongsun Zan is no worse than Yuan Shao, and can even be said to be stronger. However, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his internal affairs ability is really terrible. After Liu Yu was killed, Yuan Shao hooked up with the Wuhuan people.
, forming a pincer attack on Youzhou.
Chen Cheng felt a little worried in his heart, wondering if he might have made a wedding dress for someone else, but when he thought of the textile factories near Chang'an Du, the worries immediately disappeared without a trace. Hebei's manpower is
It was more sufficient than Guanzhong, but in terms of efficiency in the use of manpower, there was still a gap between Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde.
And he still has a lot of good things that he hasn't come up with. After he lights up those new technologies, it won't be a problem to promote Hebei.
Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Cheng's face became even brighter. He first asked people to sit down, then straightened up and asked: "Cao Cao is driving back from Xuzhou with his army, but there are still Juancheng, Fan County and Dong Asan."
The city has not yet been conquered, you are all heroes of Yanzhou, what can you do?"
Juancheng, Fan County and Dong'a are all in Dongjun, not far from each other. These three cities are garrisoned by Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun respectively. Xun Yu is from Yingchuan and Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's brother.
None of them were natives of Dongjun. Only Cheng Yu was born in Dongjun, Yanzhou.
Chen Gong said: "Although there are still three cities left to conquer, there is nothing to worry about. As long as the general leads his troops to Xiaopei, blocks Cao Mengde's return path, and forms a flanking attack with Liu Shijun, he will be able to defeat Cao Cao.
.When Cao Cao's troops and horses are defeated, Juancheng and other places will naturally surrender without a fight."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present agreed.
When he was in Liangzhou, Chen Cheng made chairs and tables. After entering Chang'an, he also replaced the office space with tables and chairs that were common in later generations. However, Hu tables are not very popular here in Yanzhou.
Hu Chair, now Chen Cheng is kneeling on the floor, always feeling very uncomfortable.
But after hearing Chen Gong's suggestion, he immediately forgot about the inconvenience of kneeling on the ground.
Chen Cheng thought to himself: Chen Gong is indeed a local celebrity in Yanzhou. Although the strategy he gave is simple, it is very practical.
Cao Cao's biggest trouble now is that the only three cities and the army are cut off from each other, and they cannot get a steady stream of supplements. If an army does not have a stable rear, it will become a rogue bandit and will escape in constant battles.
It becomes weaker and weaker. Now the general trend is with me. As long as I block Cao Cao's road to Dong'a, Juancheng and Fan County, I have won this game.
But, should I do this?
Chen Cheng looked at Chen Gong's high-spirited appearance and began to make plans in his mind. Before sending troops, he regarded Cao Cao as his biggest enemy and opponent, and he had to kill him. But when everything went smoothly, when Yanzhou
After getting it easily, he had other ideas.
The scholars in Yanzhou are so powerful that they can even defeat the Zhou Mu. Should we take advantage of the battle with Cao Cao and use the sword of Cao Jun to purge some of the local scholars?
Everyone in the lobby was still discussing. Zang Hong, Zhang Miao and others had a good relationship with Cao Cao before. Although they betrayed Cao Cao with Chen Gong, they just wanted to expel Cao Mengde from Yanzhou and did not want to take his life.
Chen Gong strongly opposed this childish idea. He shouted loudly: "Cao Cao, the most evil hero in the world, is a tiger-wolf figure. If you can't kill a tiger, you will definitely suffer from it!"
The two sides held different opinions and began to argue loudly. Instead, they threw aside people like Zang Ba and Chen Cheng who were armed with heavy troops. While Chen Cheng was thinking, he looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall. He saw an angry look on the face of Fa Zang, who seemed to be
I wanted to say something, so I shook my head and told him to just listen and watch more, but not to speak.
Now he has 20,000 people, Zang Ba has brought 30,000 people, and Yanzhou can also raise tens of thousands of people, which is similar to Cao Cao in terms of military strength. However, both sides do not have much food. If they really want to kill people with borrowed swords, Yanzhou will probably do it.
Following in the footsteps of Henan, the tragic situation of "white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles" will also appear.
And how can Cao Cao be easy to deal with? Although he is in a dangerous and difficult golden land now, there is no guarantee that Boss Cao will not make a comeback. Well, will he? Probably not... The surrounding princes
Either he has too much time to take care of himself, or he doesn't want to start a big fight. In theory, Boss Cao is in trouble this time.
Chen Cheng thought to himself: We will deal with the future matters later. We will deal with Cao Cao first.
