Chang Xi and others have been in the mountains for a long time and know what it means to be a superb archery technique.

But what is more threatening than Taishici's archery technique is Taishici's record. Taishici didn't arrive in Mount Tai for a long time, just one or two months, but he fought with Qingzhou Governor Yuan Xi and maintained a record of winning all the battles. His baggage was stolen, which made Yuan Xi very embarrassed and even affected the war in Xuzhou. He had to transfer Yan Liang, the most war-going general under his command, to the mountains to fight.

What would be the consequences of being an enemy like this? Chang Xi was unwilling to imagine it. Besides, Taishi Ci also made it clear that it was not that I couldn’t defeat you, but that General Sun would not allow him. With his achievements and archery as the basis, this sentence has excellent threat effect.

Chang Xi made a wise decision and took Taishi Ci to see Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was nearby. After Lu County fell, he did not return to Xuzhou. He knew very well how important Lu County was to Xuzhou. He was originally stationed in Bian County. When he learned that Sun Jian had entered Yanzhou, Cao Ang transferred his main force from Lu County, he led his people to the nearby, hoping to have the opportunity to retake Lu County.

Ji Ling was surprised to see Taishi Ci. He looked at Taishi Ci, then looked at the two guards behind Taishi Ci, and nodded. Taishi Ci had the courage to say no more, and the two guards around him could be calm in the face of changes, which was not easy.

"I heard the name of the lieutenant for a long time. When I saw it today, I am well-known and full of courage."

Taishici was very relaxed and bowed back. "General Ji was joking. The reason why I dared to come is because we are friends but not enemies."

Ji Ling laughed. He could understand Taishi Ci's words. "The lieutenant said that Tao Xuzhou and Sun Yuzhou are old friends, allies, not enemies. I heard that Tao Xuzhou had ceded several counties in Pengcheng and Donghai to General Sun. I guess Lu State has returned to Yuzhou, right? So, can I let go?"

Taishi Ci looked at Ji Ling, who was forced to smile but couldn't hide her loneliness in her eyes and shook her head. Liu He entered Xuzhou, and Tao Qian's status was in danger. Ji Ling turned to others and was contrary to loyalty and righteousness. Following Tao Qian's future was worrying. It was a dilemma.

"General, if you have plans to seek rebellion, the Yuan father and son brothers should not be involved in Xuzhou. The Sun Tao alliance is as stable as a rock. Am I here to ask General Ji for help? Whether the State of Lu will return to Xuzhou or Yuzhou, two envoys will discuss. As generals, we can do our own things and complete the mission entrusted by the two envoys. "

Ji Ling was relieved and asked Taishi Ci to take his seat. Taishi Ci explained his purpose. Sun Ce was planning to take Shanyang and hoped that Taishi Ci could support Sun Jian to capture Rencheng. He did not make any specific requests and authorized Taishi Ci to act cheaply. Taishi Ci thought of Ji Ling as soon as he received the order. He immediately crossed mountains and ridges from Laiwu to Bian County to find Ji Ling, hoping to cooperate with Ji Ling to support Sun Ce's plan.

After hearing this, Ji Ling was a little worried. "Can you take down Lu County?"

"In terms of Lu County alone, it is difficult to attack in a short period of time. If you expand your vision a little, it is not possible at all."

"I would like to ask the lieutenant to give advice."

Taishi Ci did not refuse, sat opposite Ji Ling, folded a branch [Update Fast], and pointed it on the ground. Lu County is the capital of Lu State, with a strong city and deep pool. If there is not enough troops and time, it will not be taken down in a short period of time. However, Lu County is not an isolated city, and its role is reflected in the transportation route between Yanzhou and Xuzhou. If the cities around Lu County are taken down and the front line is pushed into Yanzhou, the significance of Lu County to Yanzhou will be weakened, and Cao Ang will likely give up Lu County on his own initiative.

This condition was not met before, but now it is met. After Sun Jian was attacking Rencheng, he could easily advance into Dongping, Jibei, and Lu County were already in it. Cao Ang had to retreat even if he did not retreat.

Taishi Ci didn't say anything, but Ji Ling understood it. If this plan could be realized, Lu would be connected with Dongping, Jibei, Rencheng and Shanyang. Obviously, it would not be controlled by Tao Qian anymore. Lu would be returned to Sun Ce's rule, and Ji Ling could naturally become Sun Ce's subordinate and get rid of the current predicament.

Ji Ling understood the truth, agreed to Taishi Ci's request, and promised to persuade Zang Ba and others to send troops together.

——

Zang Ba is in his early thirties, with a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and always has a kind smile on his face. He doesn't look like a decisive warrior, but rather like a rich man. He is of medium size and a little fat, and is somewhat alternative among most slim and concise bandits.

But when Taishi Ci met, he felt that Zang Ba was not easy to deal with. Zang Ba was able to become the leader of the thieves in Mount Tai because of his martial arts, but his mind. This man was neither able to tempt or threaten with glory and wealth like Chang Xi, nor could he persuade him with achievements like Ji Ling. Of course, he also hoped to achieve success and prosperity, but these were not enough. He had a different pursuit than ordinary people.

But he didn't know what kind of pursuit Zang Ba would pursue.

"The Grand Historian Ziyi has long heard of the famous name." Zang Ba bowed his hand and smiled. "Aren't you fighting in Qingzhou? Why did you come to Lu?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Zang to help him and send troops to attack Dongping."

"You are a brave soldier, and Yuan Qingzhou can't do anything to you. You still need our help?" Zang Ba rubbed his thighs with his hands. His hands were very thick. "Besides, we are just a group of bandits. It's okay to walk around the mountains. Go out of the mountains and wait for someone to cut them down?"

Taishi Ci was thinking about how to persuade Zang Ba, but suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Zang Jun is right. Actually, I am about the same as you. It's okay to walk around the mountains and can't go out. Once you leave the mountains, Yuan Xi can defeat me. There is no way. The children of aristocratic families have a high vision, many knowledge, and wide connections. How can we poor children compete with the Yuan brothers without losing their favor? "

Zang Ba's mouth moved for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but his eyes eased a lot.

"However, General Sun fought very hard. Without the support of the powerful family, he had only Yuzhou, but only 20,000 to 30,000 people. Now Yuan Tan has made all the Yanzhou counties and strong, and has obvious military strength advantages. He had to gather the heroes of the world and fight to the death with the Yuan family. Zang Jun is the leader of the tycoons of Mount Tai, so he must not be out of trouble, right?"

Zang Ba blinked, put his arm on his thigh, touched the beard on his lips, and looked at Taishici, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes. He had heard of Taishici's achievements and knew Taishici's martial arts, but he did not know that Taishici had such good eloquence. But Taishici was right, the battle between Sun Ce and Yuan Tan was definitely not a struggle between two separatist princes, but a struggle between two classes.

Sun Ce is a poor family and Yuan Tan is a noble family. The strength of the two sides is very different. The Sun family father and son nominally occupy the three states, but they do not have the support of the powerful family, and the troops they can afford are limited. The Sun family may not be Yuan Tan's opponents together, and Yuan Shao has not even taken action.

The strength of the aristocratic family is so strong. The poor family can be as unique as the father and son of the Sun family. If they are defeated, no one can challenge Yuan Shao again. Yuan Shao will win the world, and the poor family in the world will have no chance to make a comeback. At that time, he will only be in the mountains and be a bandit for the rest of his life, and may even have no chance to be a bandit.

This is not only a battle between the Sun family father and son, but also a struggle between poor families.
