The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 162: The Captain of Kaiyang is fake and hesitant

A pottery merchant asks to see Zang Ba.

Zang Ba did not see him immediately.

You don't need to see it, you know why the pottery merchants came here.

Therefore, Zang Ba first summoned the generals in the Taishan army to discuss what kind of response should be given to the pottery merchants.

Usually, the generals of Mount Tai have their own camps, but now during the war, Tao Qian has urged them to leave their camps and go south. .

Not long after, Sun Guan, Chang Xi, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Sun Guan's elder brother Sun Kang all came.

Among the generals of Mount Tai, Sun Guan's status was second only to Zang Ba. When he entered the hall, he asked, "Why did you ask us to do this in the morning?"

At this time, it was already past the hour, and it could not be said that it was a big morning, but the winter days were short, and it was indeed just over an hour after dawn.

"The pottery merchant is here."

The generals took their seats.

Sitting down, Chang Xi said, "What is he doing here?"

Chang Xi, whose real name is Changba, is his nickname, "Xi", which was originally the name of the giant wild boar in ancient times, but people in the East China Sea and Mount Tai still call pigs "Xi", so Chang Xi have this nickname. Although "Xi" is his nickname, it is quite similar to his natural ability. Among the generals of Mount Tai, in terms of reputation, Zang Ba is the leader, while in terms of bravery and fighting power, Chang Xi is the crown.

Zang Ba said: "What else can I do? I haven't seen him yet, but it's just another order from Uncle Fang, urging me to wait for the south."

Chang Xi didn't care, and said, "It's enough to send it away, why ask me to wait again!"

"That's not what you say."

"how?"

Zang Ba pondered and said: "Uncle Fang has already sent me three letters in a row to urge me to wait for the south. This is the fourth time that the pottery merchant has come back."

"You want to send troops?"

"It's not that I want to send troops, but I can't."

"how do I say this?"

"You and I were destined to die in Mount Tai, and it's all thanks to Uncle Fang. Today, Pi and Donghai are in an emergency. Uncle Fang has been urging me to wait for the south, but I have been waiting for nothing..."

Yin Li interrupted him: "Who said I'm waiting for the troops to stop moving? Didn't they send an army to the south? ... Besides, if I can have today, there is inherent Tao Xuzhou's strength in waiting for me, but Why did he show me waiting? Wasn’t it because we fought hard for him and cleared the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou for him? Otherwise, he would show me waiting for no reason? Give me Langya to be stationed?”

Chang Xi slapped the table and said, "Exactly, Yin Luer is right, that's the truth. If I hadn't waited to fight to the death for him, would he be able to secure his seat as the prefect of Xuzhou?"

"Lu" is Yin Li's nickname, which means "black", but Yin Li has been black since he was a child, so he got this nickname. Chang Xi and the others were mostly juveniles from light chivalrous and vicious backgrounds. They didn't read much, and they didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so they often referred to each other by nicknames.

Compared with the people in Changxi, Zang Ba was from a higher background. His father was a prisoner in the county. Although he was also a good chivalrous person by nature, he was considered a person with a higher education level. Therefore, although Yin Li and Changxi rashly fought, After cutting off his words, he was not angry, and said calmly: "Although you are right, without me waiting to fight to the death, Fang Bogu would not be able to pacify the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans, and he may not be able to sit firmly in the seat of Xuzhou prefect, but No matter what, I was waiting for today, but it was still thanks to Uncle Fang's recommendation." He paused, and then said to Yin Li, "As for what you said, I have already sent an army to the south. , but only sent hundreds of people, and when they arrived at Jiqiu, they stopped before they entered the Donghai County, ... let me ask you, can this also be called sending troops to the south?"

Wu Dun said: "So, what should I do with the intention of the commander?"

Zang Ba picked up the words interrupted by Yin Li just now, and said, "I am waiting for Fang Bourne to be very righteous, and now Fang Bo is in trouble, I will urge him again, and this time I will send Tao Zicheng here. It's really outrageous, ... in my opinion, I really can't delay any longer."

Chang Xi said carelessly: "What if it is delayed?"

"A man is born and established in the world, don't be merciless!"

Zang Ba said these words, and the generals looked at each other.

Sun Kang couldn't help but say: "Captain, are you really going to send troops?"

Tao Qian had previously urged the generals of Mount Tai to go south, not one or two, there were already three. The generals had discussed it together clearly, and they all understood that Xun Zhen was unstoppable, and that Sun Jian of Yuzhou was helping. Tao Qian was by no means his enemy, but When they went south, they would certainly not be able to stop Xun Zhen's army, and they would lose their own way. In the end, they would only end up with a big defeat. If they were better, they might be able to surrender to Xun Zhen. Couldn't even save his life. Now that it has been discussed clearly, how could Zang Ba say such words as "a gentleman must not bear his debts" at this time? Of course, this will inevitably cause the generals to be stunned, so Sun Kang will have this question.

"Yes, I have decided that after meeting the pottery merchants, I will pull out the camp and send troops south to the East China Sea!"

Generals, you look at me, I look at you, for a while, I don't know what to say.

Zang Ba's background is higher than that of the generals, and at the 18th year, he gathered more than ten diners to rob and kill halfway, and rescued his father, who was being escorted to the county government because of the crime of being surrendered by the prefect, from more than a hundred county officials and soldiers. The deeds of Xiaolie, and his trust in the generals, and the importance of righteousness over wealth, so his prestige among the generals and the soldiers of Mount Tai is unparalleled, and everyone is convinced. Therefore, at this time, I heard him say "determination." "Send troops", although all the generals opposed it, no one was able to speak out for a while. Chang Xi and others all turned their attention to Sun Guan.

At this time, only Sun Guan could speak up and persuade Zang Ba.

Sun Guan was in the Taishan army, although his courage was not as good as Chang Xi and Zang Ba, but his courage was only second to Chang Xi and Zang Ba in his outlook. Moreover, his elder brother Sun Kang, although his works were not as good as Chang Xi and others, However, he also led one by himself. From the side, this also strengthened his momentum. Therefore, he is the well-deserved second-in-command in the Taishan Army.

Sun Guan said: "What the commander said is true. However, although Tao Xuzhou was kind to us, Xun Guangling was not kind to us. Since he entered Guangling, he has sent his trusted officials to Kaiyang to see the capital many times. Wei, expressing the meaning of admiration, humble self-proclaimed lack of kindness, and affectionate, indescribable. My husband is in the world, and he should be gracious and righteous. Tao Xuzhou is kind to me, but I can't be unjust to Xun Guangling! "

Zang Ba stroked his knees with a long sigh, and said, "What you said is exactly what I am facing! If it wasn't because of Xun Guangling's deep love for me, how could I have been hesitant and haven't gone south yet?"

Zang Ba's answer, including Sun Guan's analysis of "kindness and righteousness", none of the generals here would believe it.

The word "kindness" is placed on one's own people, such as within the Taishan Army. Of course, it should be said, but to Tao Qian and Xun Zhen, there is absolutely no need to say it, because all the generals know it, and to put it bluntly, Tao Qian treats them bluntly. It was taking advantage of them, so why wasn't Xun Zhen taking advantage of them? Tao Qian treated them well, but only raised them as eagles and dogs; Xun Zhen's letter of modesty was only to win them over, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening Tao Qian. In this regard, the generals are all aware of it, and they are all clear. And at this extraordinary time, the two armies are fighting. If one accidentally chooses the wrong team, then it is not a question of whether the fame and wealth can still be achieved, but whether the net worth can be saved or not. Therefore, at this time, when we talk about "kindness and righteousness", no one believes it.

But even though he didn't believe it, seeing Zang Ba's words seemed to be loose, the generals also held back their temper and listened to them continuing to talk nonsense.

Sun Guan said: "Since the commander is hesitant because of this, why don't you just give yourself more time, and then decide whether to send troops to the south after you understand it?"

Zang Ba said what was in his heart at this time, he said: "Uncle Fang has been kind to me, but now he is in danger, he has been urged again and again, and even now he has sent the pottery merchants here, I am still waiting for the danger. Help, don't move, just think about it: what would Xun Guangling think?"

All the generals suddenly woke up.

What would Xun Zhen think? I will only think that the Taishan army is unreliable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So after defeating Tao Qian and occupying Xuzhou, what will Xunzhen do?

Of course, this unreliable force that cannot be used at a critical moment is to be wiped out.

Sun Guan suddenly got up and said, "The commander is wise! Since that's the case, I'll call the pottery merchant in and tell him that I will leave the camp and go south!"

Sun Kang smiled and said: "I am not in a hurry to pull out the camp. The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. Although our division is eager to save the East China Sea and Xiapi, but the military rations are insufficient, but the Dezhou government needs to allocate a batch of military rations first. , and then we can go south....What do you think?"

Tao Qian gave the entire county of Langya to the Taishan Army, and he often gave them rations and ordnance. How could the Taishan Army's rations be insufficient? Sun Kang's words were just to get some benefits from Tao Qian.

All the generals laughed and said, "That's how it should be!"

When the plan was settled, Zang Ba sent an order to go out and called a pottery merchant to see him.
