That night, the plain camp.

"There is a very important task, and the general who can stand alone must be the general..." As Taishi Ci expected, not long after seeing Wang Yu, he heard the familiar and kind words.

He curled his lips and continued, "Zang Ba, is it Zang Ba? Needless to say, lord, you must have wanted to fool me to guard the retreat again."

"Uh, you actually guessed it." Wang Yu stumbled slightly, then glared at Jia Xu, who was smirking, and shouted: "What's ridiculous?"

Taking advantage of this vacancy, he thought for a moment, and then remembered that when the Yellow Turban Army attacked Mount Tai in large numbers, he had already used the same rhetoric. Obviously, Taishi Ci had learned his lesson and refused to be fooled.

The same trick cannot be used repeatedly, Wang Yu sighed in his heart.

My thoughts were turned and when I turned around, Wang Yu had already changed back to his amiable appearance and continued to fool him: "Ziyi, this is a very important task, you must!"

Taishi Ci shook his head as if he was stunned, but he didn't believe it: "Isn't Yuan Zhi there? With him, how could he be able to make a good trip? If he doesn't go, Yuan Zhi's ghost elves are so fierce that he can do things with him. He can only steal the limelight from being called to be a coolie!"

Hearing the strong resentment in Taishici's tone, Wang Yu Daqi: "Ziyi, have you made up? You have all become sworn brothers, why are you still like this..."

"Hey, lord, you don't know what kind of swornship is? Zilong and someone are in a similar mood. Swedish are what they want, but Yuanzhi... Hey, in the chess game that day, I just wanted to use Zilong's ability to suppress him and slash his spirit. Who would have thought that this man was shameless and climbed up along the pole, and this was also a mistake, one step was wrong, one step was wrong."

Looking at Taishi Ci's expression with a frustrated expression and listening to his helpless tone, Wang Yu and everyone smiled. Could this be something that is something that is brought down by something, or is it that the evil ones will be punished by evil ones?

Well, Taishi is not a bully, and Xu Shu is just good at seizing opportunities, whether on the battlefield or dealing with interpersonal relationships. However, the situation Xu Shu is facing at this moment is indeed not optimistic.

After laughing for a while, Wang Yu skipped the topic. Taishici was unwilling to go. Xu Shu's situation was complicated and it was not possible to solve the problem with one more powerful general.

Wang Yu didn't say that, but Taishi Ci came to the door again. He asked, "Lord, Yuan Zhi needs reinforcements? Is the situation very bad?"

Wang Yu looked at Taishi Ci's face and found that although he tried to make an indifferent expression, the concern in his eyes was hard to hide. It seemed that the joking swornment was not as indifferent as some people said, and it was a fake to become true, right?

That's fine.

"Yuan Zhi's side is indeed a bit tricky..." Wang Yu nodded and talked about the battle situation behind him.

Zang Ba was not a famous figure in the history of his previous life. Although this man had the strength to dominate one side, he never had the ambition to compete for the world. It can be said that he had self-knowledge or had no ambitions.

If you want to talk about his basic conditions, he is much better than Liu Bei.

He was born in a powerful family and was quite famous in Taishan County. Later, he made a lot of contributions in the war against Qingxu Yellow Turbans, successfully obtained an official position, and accumulated considerable strength. He then gained a foothold in Langya Kingdom and obtained a considerable piece of territory.

However, because he had no ambitions, he never made any expansion. In his previous life, Xuzhou even changed hands after Tao Qian's death. Every time he seemed to have seen the general trend clearly, he was easy to be quick, but he always followed the tune but not the publicity, and did not work hard.

Because he knew this person’s experience, Wang Yu didn’t take him much to heart. He felt that even if this fence-bearer was unstable, he would not cause too much trouble. At most, he would just rob some money by being robbed by him.

Of course, there are many reasons why Wang Yu did not wipe out Zang Ba as soon as possible. After all, the latter was a nominal general in Xuzhou. Rampantly crossing the border may affect the relationship between Qing and Xuzhou.

In addition, Zang Ba was named Taishan Bandit, but in fact he was indeed a bandit. To wipe out such a large number of bandits, the military force and time it took to be used and the time spent were difficult for Wang Yu to bear.

More importantly, the benefits that can be obtained by destroying Zang Ba are too few. It is not very cost-effective to consume military resources for a mere Langya country. If Zang Ba uses magic weapons for guerrilla warfare again, the Langya occupied by it will never be peaceful, and it will be even more cost-effective.

According to Zang Ba's experience, Wang Yu believed that he should take a temporary defensive position. When the situation in Hebei is clear and the general situation is settled, 80% of this person can be directly subdued.

In history, after Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and occupied Xuzhou, Zang Ba surrendered. Wang Yu did not think that his strength would be worse than Cao Cao, and his deterrence to Zang Ba should not be lower than Cao Cao. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Zang Ba had been working but not working hard. Now he had no reason to fight with him.

But facts have proved that just because of the ability of a prophet and lack of understanding of details will become a fatal flaw.

The relationship between Cao Cao and Zang Ba is far from as simple as it appears.

The most direct evidence is that Cao Cao's father and his family were evading disasters, and they went to Langya Kingdom! The hostile relationship between Tao Qian and Cao Cao was formed after the two Yuans formed a gang. However, Langya Kingdom was under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and Cao Song was a man who had served as the Grand Marshal. How could this connection be unrecognizable?

Although Tao Qian was kind, his war against Cao Cao was not going smoothly. How could he have no idea of ​​taking hostages? The reason why he didn't take action was just because someone protected Cao Song.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao started to contact Zang Ba, Zang Ba just agreed for the moment, and still maintained the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. When Cao Cao sent Xizhicai to Langya, he really became ready to move and took practical actions.

Of course, Cao Cao's power was not as powerful as Yuan Shao. The timing of Zang Ba's action also corresponded to Wang Yu's time to take time in Qingzhou's troops. But even so, the influence Cao Cao had on Zang Ba due to his personal friendship cannot be ignored.

Wang Yu couldn't figure out when Cao Cao and Zang Ba formed a friendship, but Cao Cao had traveled many places from studying in the world to becoming the prime minister of Jinan, so it was not surprising that he had contact with Zang Ba.

Jinan and Taishan County are actually close neighbors.

With this relationship, the role of Xi Zhicai playing within the bandits of Mount Tai is unusual.

He is not a guest official who can only make suggestions and make references; he is not a staff member who can only make suggestions and accept them in times of trouble, and whether he accepts them or not depends entirely on others' moods; he is an important and important role who can make the decision for Zang Ba and decide the direction of the Taishan bandits' strategy.

Whether the opponent is Zang Ba or Xi Zhicai, the pressure on Qingzhou is definitely different.

In dealing with Zang Ba, Wang Yu's defense direction was mainly in Beihai. The social composition here is relatively simple, with only the people who farmed and the officials in Qingzhou. Zang Ba could let go of the crowd and stolen it without any scruples.

The early military deployment of the Taishan bandits was indeed aimed at the Beihai.

But after Xi Zhicai arrived in Langya, the strategic focus of the bandits of Mount Tai quickly changed and their actions became decisive. After receiving the news that Wang Yu rushed to the north, Xi Zhicai took decisive action and attacked Mount Tai with lightning speed.

That's right, it's Mount Tai.

This is a quite unexpected choice. Qingzhou's new policy did not cover Taishan County. The poor local people could freely move to Qingzhou to farm, while Wang Yu was completely unfair to the powerful. To describe it in later generations, Qingzhou and Taishan are one country, two systems.

This system greatly soothed the uneasy emotions of the powerful Taishan. In a series of foreign wars, the powerful Taishan was determined to stand on the side of Qingzhou.

With these powerful men here, it is not a good idea to guide Taishan.

The powerful fortresses are even taller and stronger than many county towns, and the powerful private soldiers are even more loyal and will fight to the death for the interests of the master. Compared with the empty and prosperous Beihai and the counties of the East China Sea, Mount Tai is undoubtedly a hard stone.

Moreover, the strategic value of Taishan County is far less than that of Beihai.

If the Beihai is lost, the capital Linzi will be threatened. The families of civil and military officials in Qingzhou are concentrated in Linzi. If there is any loss, it will be the same as Guan Yu being attacked by Lu Meng by Jiangling. No matter how strong the army is, it will only fall apart.

Attacking Beihai can greatly restrain the Qingzhou army.

But Mount Tai has no such value. Even if it is really lost, it will only lose a piece of territory, but it is still a relatively uncommon territory. In Wang Yu's strategic concept, Mount Tai is a buffer, a buffer against military pressure in Yanzhou.

"Then, what else can be tricky? If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, you can give up. Let's go back and settle the score with Zang Ba." Taishi Ci scratched the back of his head, quite puzzled.

The war in Mount Tai may last for a long time, but the winners and losses in Hebei can be divided in a short period of time. There is no need to be too many at that time, and that battalion will be sent back to rescue. Isn’t it just a matter of invincibility among the bandits of Mount Tai?

"How is that simple?" Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Zang Ba is still very connected in Mount Tai. Our army is strong. Although local tyrants have to follow, our army is empty, and these people may not be moved to take things from it and cater to Zang Ba. The process of Zang Ba's seizing Mount Tai may not be as long as I imagined."

Taishi Ci blinked, obviously not yet figured out what was going on. Zang Ba had something to do with Mount Tai. Qingzhou's investment in Mount Tai was quite limited. Except for the need to relocate the academy, there seemed to be no other trouble.

Besides, won’t it be able to be regained soon?

Jia Xu continued to explain: "It may be more difficult than expected to regain Mount Tai. Zang Bagu is not worth worrying, but since he is willing to take the chestnut for Cao Cao, he may have made up his mind to use Mount Tai as a gift to find a new backer."

"Is it Cao Cao?" Taishi Ci understood.

Jia Xu nodded: "It's Cao Cao! In this way, even if our army wins the Battle of Hebei, Linzi will be under the threat of Cao Cao at any time. At the same time, the connection between our army and Xuzhou has been completely cut off, and the strategic situation will become extremely bad."

"Tsk, Yuan Zhi is really troublesome now." Taishi Ci smacked her tongue, frowned, and was worried. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
