Chapter three hundred and sixty ninth marriage eradication
After Zang Ba finished practicing Changshan, he wiped his sweat and came to Sun Guan's side. Sun Guan took the initiative to hand him a piece of sweat wiping cloth and whispered: "Brother, have you thought clearly?"
Zang Ba took the cloth, wiped the raindrops of sweat on his head, and said, "What do you want to think about clearly?"
"Hi!"
Sun Guan was very annoyed by Zang Ba's tendency to pretend to be stupid, but he did not dare to really get angry with Zang Ba. He just suppressed his anger and persuaded: "What else can happen? It's the one written by Yuan Shu in the previous episode.
Xin and I want our brothers to join his command, attack from the north and the south, and jointly deal with the Tao family in Xuzhou! Then Xuzhou will be divided equally."
Zang Ba smiled disdainfully when he heard this and said: "To deal with the Tao clan of Xuzhou? How about dividing Xuzhou equally? When Yuan Shu was in Ruxuwu, his army of 100,000 was defeated by Jin's 40,000 troops. It was not until today that he recovered.
How dare you make another plot? Could it be that the person named Yuan wanted to take over Shouchun’s hometown, so the Tao family was willing to give up!"
Sun Guan shook his head and said: "Brother, although it is such a thing, it cannot be said like this. After all, Yuan Shu's one hundred thousand soldiers back then were all new troops and had little combat power. Now after several years of training, they are
It cannot be compared with that of the past... Now that Tao Qian has become a Xuzhou herdsman, Tao Shang has become a Yangzhou herdsman and has to worship the Taifu. Sooner or later, the territory in the southeast will be fully occupied by his father and his son! We, the five heroes of Mount Tai, have been operating in Langya Kingdom for so many years.
What is it? It is to dominate this place, but with the current development momentum of the Tao family, if they are allowed to continue to be arrogant, I am afraid that this Langya country will no longer be owned by our brothers. "
Zang Ba threw the sweat towel on the ground, his expression became a little gloomy.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taishan County in Yanzhou and the adjacent mountain and sea area, that is, the northwest of Langya Kingdom, were a special area with mountains on its back and the sea on its back.
By stationing troops here to take advantage of the danger, they can not only resist the government, but also capture the people. This is how the county connects the mountains and the sea.
It is truly a paradise for criminals such as Zang Ba.
And due to the special nature of this area, long before Zang Ba and other Taishan Five Bandits, Langya Kingdom became the birthplace of lawless elements who resisted the Eastern Han government. These people can be referred to as the Langya Gang.
In the second year of Yongxing, the Langya thief Gongsun Ju rebelled and became the number one thief on the Langya list. He was later defeated by the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Duan Xi.
In the third year of Yanxi's reign, Langya thief Lao Bing rebelled again and became the second Langya thief on the Langya list.
In November of the third year of Yanxi, the Langya thief uncle Sun Wuji attacked and killed the captain Hou Zhang, becoming the third Langya thief.
Zang Ba and others, on the other hand, continued to build on the past and climbed to the top of the Nirvana Ranking in the new era, with five in total!
Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dun, Chang Xi.
The reason why Langya Kingdom always has thieves on the list is because of its unique natural advantages. It can not only defend itself in the mountains, but also float to the sea to enter the islands. Moreover, due to the natural environment, many county residents here go to the mountains with their whole families.
"He arrived at a young age" and became, to a certain extent, the same mountain people as Shanyue.
Due to the influence of the environment, these northern mountain people are always in a state of tension and are extremely capable of fighting. Naturally, these people are the main source of troops for Zang Ba and other Taishan Five Bandits.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of Zang Ba's soldiers will increase day by day.
This is also the reason why Tao Qian has been unable to deal with Zang Ba for so many years.
But now that the power of the Tao family is getting stronger, the situation of the five Taishan thieves is becoming more and more embarrassing, and there is a possibility that the Tao family will take back the Langya Kingdom at any time.
Especially after the Jinling Army defeated Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Yan Baihu, Zuo Rong, Puyang Cao Army and other armies in a row, the Taishan Five Thieves began to feel a little timid.
Facing such a powerful army, if you want to continue to be independent between Langya Kingdom and Taishan County, it will definitely not work if you continue to be so autistic.
But at this time, Yuan Shu's letter inviting the Five Taishan thieves to attack Xuzhou was passed through the hands of Sun Guan and delivered to Zang Ba's hands.
Originally this was a breakthrough point for the five Taishan thieves, but Yuan Laoer made another mistake at the critical moment. In his letter, he did not invite Zang Ba and others to be his allies, but asked them to lead the crowd to join him.
In Yuan Shu's perception, Zang Ba and others were just a group of low-profile thieves gathered in the mountains and forests.
As the empress general, the direct descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince, he made a group of Taishan thieves surrender, which was really a huge shame for them!
If Zang Ba and others were able to receive his invitation, they should actually burn incense to thank their ancestors for their manifestations, and rejoice that their family is blessed.
But obviously, Zang Ba didn't think so. He regarded himself as on the same level as Yuan Shu.
Therefore, the matter was delayed for a while.
Zang Ba was not in a hurry, but Sun Guan was. His vision was not as far-sighted as Zang Ba's, so he kept trying to persuade Zang Ba and quickly reply to Yuan Shu.
But in fact, Zang Ba didn't want to agree to Yuan Shu, let alone become Yuan Shu's vassal or subordinate. In his opinion, Yuan Shu was not qualified to be his ally.
He wanted to wait for a hero like Yuan Shao or Cao Cao to send someone to invite him.
…
Just when Zang Ba was hesitant about whether to join forces with Yuan Shu, Pengcheng's elite Jinling army led by Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici quickly headed towards Kaiyang while Pengcheng's soldiers and civilians were preparing for the pottery merchant's wedding.
Move forward.
"The soldiers and generals of the five Taishan thieves are all warriors recruited from the Taishan Army and the Langya Mountain people in the past. Their combat power should be comparable to our Taishan Army in Jinling City!" Taishi Ci commanded the soldiers to move quickly.
While advancing the army, he explained to Xu Chu and Zhao Yun: "The five thieves divided their forces and formed a strong force. Normally, it is difficult to defeat them. However, now that the Taifu is getting married, both the army and the people inside and outside Pengcheng are celebrating, so Kaiyang's defense must be certain."
The level must have been weakened. We are taking the opportunity to conquer Zang Ba's camp this time. As long as we can capture this person, the other four thieves will be able to pass on the message. By then, the Langya Kingdom will be able to return to Xuzhou smoothly."
After hearing Tai Shici's explanation, Xu Chu chuckled and said in a naive voice: "Although you two are Taifu's sworn brothers, Zang Ba's head belongs to a certain family, so you two don't need to have any illusions."
.”
Compared with the competition with Xu Chu, Zhao Yun's performance was obviously much calmer.
"As long as Zang Ba can be captured as planned, it doesn't matter who captures him."
…
Indeed, as Tao Shang, Guo Jia and others had guessed, Zang Batun's troops stationed in Kaiyang, after learning about the current celebrations in Pengcheng, relatively relaxed their vigilance and reduced some of their defense forces.
After dinner in the evening, except for a few who were on night watch, most of the Taishan bandits basically fell asleep.
Kaiyang County is very quiet at night. The cool summer night wind occasionally blows the sneezes of war horses into the air and floats in the air, while various unknown insects in the grass are chirping unbridled.
There is no moon in the sky tonight, so it feels like I can't even see my fingers.
In order to be able to see farther away clearly, the Taishan bandit soldiers who were patrolling at night lit more than a dozen bonfires around the military camp to assist their vision.
The burning bonfire emitted a scorching light, illuminating hundreds of steps around it.
Suddenly, the rapid and intensive sound of horse hooves, like thunder from the sky, suddenly sounded from a distance.
The soldiers who were patrolling everywhere were startled and hurriedly gathered in groups outside the camp. The shrill sound of horns rang through the dark night sky.
