Chapter 17: The Banquet
Hearing that Zhang Zhao wanted to serve, Gao Cheng was immediately overjoyed, the other party was a real top talent, and his internal affairs ability was not inferior to Xun Yu, which was equivalent to Xiao He of Wu State, and the only drawback was that the military was slightly inferior. The prediction of the general trend of the world and the ability to lead troops are mediocre.
However, what Gao Cheng lacks now is such a talent, with Zhang Zhao joining, the logistics of the entire army and all kinds of cumbersome and trivial things can be handed over to the other party to deal with, Gao Cheng only needs to train the troops well.
"Zibu is willing to join, and the army of 50,000 will be like a tiger with wings!"
Gao Cheng laughed, he also knew that Zhang Zhao's purpose at this time was to exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels to take revenge, and he didn't really take refuge in himself. If the Yellow Turban Rebellion is put down, it is highly likely that he will leave.
Zhang Zhaonai was born in a Xuzhou family, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Cang are very different, if they don't have the ability, they are not qualified to make friends with each other, and Gao Cheng has no hope of success if he recruits the other party if he does not have an official position.
Gao Cheng was self-aware, so he didn't reveal the slightest hint of this, but simply welcomed Zhang Zhao. There will be a long time in the future, and since Zhang Zhao appeared in front of him, he will definitely not miss this talent in vain.
Mi Zhu was also delighted: "Zibu is my Xuzhou celebrity, his ability is a hundred times better than mine, and in the future, the grain and grass of the army including other things, please entrust it to Brother Zibu!"
Gao Cheng has long known Zhang Zhao's ability, and Mi Zhu has also heard of his reputation for a long time, and knows that Zhang Zhao is best at sorting out government affairs and pacifying the people, and has the talent of Wang Zuo. Such a person joins the army, of course, to borrow what he is best at.
......
With Zhang Zhao joining, the military law, military regulations, weapons and armor, grain and grass of the 50,000 army suddenly became orderly, Gao Cheng was training the soldiers, the grain, grass and weapons were continuously transported, and there was sufficient supplement, plus Jiang Qin, Pei Yuanshao and a hundred elite soldiers as the training team, and soon the 50,000 army was trained with a little military momentum.
During the training, Tao Qian also took Zhao Yu and Wang Lang to the barracks to check, and was very satisfied with Gao Cheng's ability to train soldiers. In his opinion, when Zang Ba comes to Xiapi, the 50,000 army under Gao Cheng will be able to go into battle preliminarily.
At that time, the 50,000 army plus Zang Ba's more than 40,000 subordinates will add up to 100,000 troops. With such a force, there is a seventy percent certainty that they will win against hundreds of thousands of rabble.
As long as hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels are exterminated, Tao Qian's position in the history of assassination will be as stable as Mount Tai. And can take the opportunity of the big victory to suppress the momentum of all the families in Xuzhou.
Time was in a hurry, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao were in the military camp, and Mi Zhu sent many servants of the Mi clan to collect information on the Yellow Turban rebels according to Gao Cheng's instructions. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and before sending troops, Gao Cheng must find a way to figure out the details of the opponent.
While he was waiting for information in the barracks, a herald sent news that Zang Ba was coming! He and more than 40,000 of his men were placed in a large camp in the north of Xiapi City.
"Ziming, Zibu! Thorn Shi sent someone to send a post, inviting us and many family elites from Xuzhou to go to the Thorn Shi Mansion for a banquet!" Mi Zhu held three posts in his hand and came to the camp to say to Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao.
Gao Cheng took the post and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Tao Gong really values Zang Ba, as soon as the other party comes, he organizes a banquet to pick him up and wash the dust, is it because he wants to win him over and make him a confidant?"
Zhang Zhao heard Zang Ba's name, his expression was a little unswerving, in his opinion, Zang Ba was born as a bandit, no different from the Yellow Turban rebels, but he didn't have time to harm the party.
Mi Zhu sighed and said: "No way, our army of 50,000 has just been recruited, and its strength is not as good as the elite under Zang Ba, and against the main force of the Yellow Turban, we have to rely on the soldiers in his hands." At this time, Thorn Shi must show that he values him. ”
Gao Cheng pinched the post and patted it, and said: "The assassin sent a post, I'm afraid that the entire family of Xiapi will send people there, we can't help but go, since this is the case, let's see what this Zang Ba looks like!"
The three of them prepared their clothes, then asked Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao to guard the camp, and then drove the carriage in the direction of the Thorn Mansion. On the street, in addition to the carriage of the three, there are also the carriages of the children of many wealthy families.
Now that the Yellow Turban soldiers have poured in, the wealthy families of the entire Xuzhou have suffered a lot of losses, and many of their fields and shops in other cities have been swept away by the Yellow Turban soldiers. In this case, Thorn Shi summoned many families to the banquet, and it was definitely not simply to pick up the dust for Zang Ba.
is just a thief, and he doesn't have such a big face. The more important purpose of the assassination history is to let the major families have people to make a strong contribution, and by the way, announce the strategy of fighting thieves, at this important time, the entire Xuzhou family will not be absent and ignored.
When Gao Cheng, Mi Zhu and Zhang Zhao came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, many children of the family had also arrived, and the most eye-catching thing was Cao Bao, who was surrounded by several children of the family.
In addition to Cao Bao, there was also a young man with a dashing demeanor, and after this young man saw Zhang Zhao and Mi Zhu, his eyes immediately lit up and he took the initiative to greet him.
"Zibu! It's great that you're okay! These two are Gao Ziming and Mi Zizhong, right? The two of them recruited an army of 50,000 not long ago, but they shocked me a lot! I heard that the money and food for recruiting the army were all borne by the Mi clan himself? They are worthy of being rich businessmen in the world!"
Zhang Zhao shook his head a little helplessly, turned his head and introduced Gao Cheng: "This is Chen Lin, who is from Guangling like Ziming!"
Guangling Chen Lin, one of the seven sons of Jian'an! Gao Cheng met another famous man who left a name in history, but Chen Lin was most famous for his literary talents, and he was not proficient in internal affairs and military strategy. With a slight sense, Gao Cheng found that the other party's spiritual power was strong, but compared with Zhang Zhao and himself, it was much inferior.
"I haven't been back to Guangling for a long time, and I don't know if the scenery of my hometown has changed, but today I can see my fellow villagers and friends safe and sound!
A few people chatted a few words. We had a great conversation.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, the township party is also a very close relationship, Gao Cheng and Chen Lin are both Guangling people, so they are naturally closer. Cao Bao, who was not far away, saw this scene and hated it so much that his teeth were about to be clenched.
He clearly remembered at this time that when he first picked up Wang Lang, both Zhang Zhao and Chen Lin were very repulsive to themselves, but now they are so close to Mi Zhu and Gao Cheng, which is obviously looking down on him Cao Bao and Xia Pi Cao!
