Xuzhou, a land of four wars, has been war-torn for a long time, and the people living in this land have fought one difficult battle after another, but they have never conceded defeat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if the enemy is outnumbered.

Fighting heroically until the last moment is the tradition of Xuzhou people.

The people who live in this land have never been afraid of war.

But...... They were afraid of the war brought by Ma Yue.

Because no soldier or horse in the world can beat that person's army, too many people have lost their precious lives in order to verify the truth of this sentence.

Even after Zang Ba attacked and killed Pei Hui, there were also people in Xuzhou, and King Ruoliang was willing to exchange the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the puppet shepherd commander of Sanzhou for the cavalry with a face covered with a fierce ghost armor...... Even Zang Ba, who has a long reputation in Xuzhou, is difficult to win this battlefield.

The people of Xuzhou hoped that Zang Ba would lose the war, and even Zang Ba himself sometimes thought in his heart that if he lost that war...... There wouldn't be so many disasters as they are today.

The clouds of war shrouded the heads of every Xuzhou person, and the news that Zang Ba attacked and killed Pei Hui, a relative of Liang, was like growing wings and spreading all over the countryside, and no one could stop it. Then, the political situation in Xuzhou, which had been improved by the cooperation of all the ministries, was unexpected, and there were more and more convoys of homeless people and gentry carrying books in the countryside.

People are scrambling to flee the land!

Who wants to leave their homeland if there is no other way?

The bad thing about this thing is that Pei Hui is too strong and too unconfident, and Zang Ba is too competitive and too vengeful. Pei Hui didn't even think about uniting the forces of every powerful clan, because he didn't think he had this ability, even if he was carrying the banner of the Liang Kingdom. Zang Ba originally planned to retreat from the Liangguo army, but in the war for land, he lost several cronies in a row, and he rose up in anger.

Xuzhou has two of the strongest soldiers and horses. One is the cavalry captain Zang Ba who is stationed in Kaiyang, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, Sun Li, Sun Guan brothers, Wu Dun Yin Li and others are also brave people, and they are also the first major force after the death of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou; In addition, there is also Xuzhou engaged in Mi Zhu, whose family assets exceed 100 million and tens of thousands of servants, and after Tao Qian's death, he accepted the most elite Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou as a different driver, which is also a force that cannot be ignored.

In addition to these two people, there are countless heroes in the state, such as Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son.

Xuzhou's military strength is not weak, but its disadvantage lies in the fact that there are many factions and they do not belong to each other. Zang Ba's cavalry lieutenant is a military position, and he can't control Mi Zhu's other driving, Tao Qian has a state pastoral moderation in his lifetime, and one article and one martial arts complement each other. But Tao Qian's death exposed the problem, these two were full of wings and became a force in their own right, and Tao Qian's two sons were not enough to convince everyone...... This led to the split of Xuzhou.

Xiapi, Zang Ba's camp came to a few guests today.

"Captain Zang, what's the matter with Mi Mou?" Mi Zhugui is not to drive, in today's Xuzhou can be regarded as a man of his word, although now under the command of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the dress is very casual, the sleeve robe swaying in the wind, swaying all the way into the barracks, seeing the people sitting on the smile and said: "Yo, there are so many distinguished guests in the camp today, disrespectful and disrespectful, Tao Envoy Jun has not seen everyone so together for a long time after his death." ”

Mi Zhu looked over one by one, the Taishou of each county, and the famous and powerful surnames in the state had all arrived, so he saluted everyone slowly, and then sat in front of the empty cases at the front and smiled at Zang Ba, and did not speak.

Zang Ba glanced at Mi Zhu, but he was not angry because Mi Zhu pretended to be fine, and said loudly to everyone: "Since all the gentlemen have arrived, Zang Mou will open up his heart these days. ”

"Liangguo has sent troops." Zang Ba paused as he spoke, looked at everyone's reactions and then said: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, one of the strikers is led by Xu Huang, a general in Jizhou, who has more than 10,000 troops, and he is coming from Qingzhou to Xuzhou. The other was led by General Gan Ning, and the 20,000 troops were all genuine Liangzhou troops from Luoyang to the south and took the lead in entering Yuzhou, passing through Yanzhou...... Although the combat power is strong, the battle line has been stretched too long, but there is still some room for maneuver. ”

Zang Ba said to everyone: "Zang Mou invited you to come today, just to ask, what do you mean, are you willing to fight the cool ride with Zang?" ”

"Hit! As long as General Zang wants to fight against the Liang Kingdom, my Miao clan will fight with the Liang State Army to the end! ”

A few years ago, the descendants of the Miao family were killed and injured in the melee of the five armies in Luoyang, and the clan sister-in-law was also hit by a stray arrow, although he later picked up a life but could not give birth to a child. The hatred is deep enough, and because of this, Miao is also very concerned about this matter, and he can't wait to gather the family soldiers and Liangguo soldiers to fight now!

With the Miao clan taking the lead, several big surnames and Taishou have been fighting, and these people's clans have either suffered from the military disasters of the Liangguo army, or they have a grudge against Zhenrong, and now they are all angry.

But Mi Zhu, the most powerful, kept looking at everyone with a smile and laughing silently.

Chen Jue, who was over sixty years old, gathered his gray beard, paused his cane heavily on the ground, and symbolically arched his hand to Mi Zhu when the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and asked, "But what does it mean not Mi Beijia?" ”

"Huh? Why does Gong Chen need to ask me, most of these people here have enmity and grudges with the Ma clan of the Liang Kingdom, but my Mi clan has no enmity with the Ma clan, and I have no grudges with the Liang country...... "Mi Zhu said with a smile: "This is not our war. ”

Mi Zhu said, seeing Zang Ba's somewhat disappointed eyes, and then arched his hand and said: "Captain Zang, if you win this battle, Mi will not account for the slightest of the battle." But if you really reach the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, whether it is the twenty-seven dock forts of the Mi clan on the boundary of Xuzhou, or the two thousand hectares of fertile land, where you are, Mi will ensure that you are there. Just to go to war...... Mi really didn't have a reason to fight to the death with Liang Guo with a large family. ”

Zang Ba took a deep breath, although he was a little unhappy with this result, he couldn't complain about Mi Zhu. As he said, the Mi clan has a large population, and a big clan like them will probably not bet themselves on any war without deep hatred.

"In addition to the Mi clan, if there is anyone who is unwilling to participate in this war with the Liang Kingdom, you can bring it up here."

Although Zang Ba asked like this, no one wanted to withdraw from this war except Mi Zhu, but Chen Qi's son Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong asked Zang Ba seriously: "I think there is no objection to participating in the war, although the reason for this war is that Zang Duwei beheaded Pei Hui in battle and caused trouble, but even if Pei Hui does not die, Liang Guo will also seek to seize our state, so this battle is inevitable." I just want to ask, how does Captain Zang think this battle should be fought? ”

"To be honest, Zang has no good way for the time being, he can only come to cover the water and cover the earth, and everything will have to be done until Xu Huang leads the army into Xuzhou."

"Yes, the battle did not start until the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom entered Xuzhou, but the war has already started now, and Captain Zang has sent two soldiers and horses from the Yunliang Kingdom before, so please ask Captain Zang to calculate the time." Chen Deng said with a confident face: "I can participate in the war in Xuzhou to 30,000 soldiers, and if I recruit troops on the spot, I can recruit another 30,000, so before Xu Huang arrives, can I train another 30,000 troops with combat power?" ”

"According to the footsteps, King Liang's edict was transmitted to Jizhou, even if he could send troops. In the past two years, Liangguo has recruited troops in Jizhou with great fanfare to recover the decline of the war, and it is conceivable that Xu Huang will bring out a well-trained recruit to participate in the war. By the time he arrived in Qingzhou to receive help from the puppet Qingzhou Mu Duji, it should have already entered the summer, and the war was likely to start in the summer. Zang Ba said in an orderly manner: "Gan Ning's soldiers and horses went south all the way through Luoyang, passing through Yuzhou and Yanzhou, the road is far away, but the soldiers and horses are more elite, among them, there are probably not a few old soldiers of King Liang who have been in battle for a long time, that is, they are the real terrible enemies such as us." ”

"Their arrival is likely to be after autumn, and the people of Liangzhou have long been accustomed to the cold, and I have heard that in the past, when the Han Sui rebelled, they even fought against the Han counterinsurgency army in winter...... Once we enter winter, it will be the hardest time for us, and this battle may be decided next spring, and if not, we will not win. ”

"Captain Zang, first of all, we need to resist Xu Huang's attack, if we can't defeat Xu Huang before the autumn, then the autumn will face the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, Chen dares to ask the captain...... What are the odds? ”

Zang Ba shook his head, "Xu Gongming is a rare general under Ma Yue, and he is ranked under Guan Yunchang, the military attache of the Liang State, along with Yan Yanming, not to mention that the tiger and wolf of the Liang State have always been good at fighting, even if they have twice the strength...... Zang was also not sure that he would defeat more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in three or four months. ”

"Since we are not sure to defeat Xu Gongming, we must try to delay Gan Ning's marching speed, so that the dilemma of suffering from the enemy will come later, who can help us?" Chen Deng said to the people of Xuzhou: "Cao Mengde has many generals and prestige, and Yanzhou is also under his control, if he wants to, he can help, it can be regarded as one of them; Liu Xuande of Jingzhou, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ji Ling, and Liu Pi are all warriors who can fight well, which can be two; We should start from these two directions and send messengers to communicate more so that they can help us buy time. ”

"Jiangdong's Sun clan, isn't it closer and stronger?" A Xuzhou scholar asked, "Why don't we ask the Sun clan to send troops, so that we have a chance to win!" ”

"Sun? In their eyes, it is probably the best situation for us to start a war with the Ma clan outside their territory, and if we can hold back the main force of the Liang Kingdom, they are very likely to open the battlefield in the direction of Yizhou again, just like Gongsun Chan attacked Yizhou when he asked for help. Chen Deng said with a smile: "But if you lose the battle, it is a good choice to give up the land of Xuzhou to the Sun family." ”

"In that case, let us send messengers. The survival of Xuzhou is at stake. Zang Ba bowed his hand to everyone, and then said: "These days, please don't slack off in recruiting and training, at most May, Xu Huang of Liangguo is coming!" ”
