"My army is now led by Sun Guan, Yili and others, and this time I just came to Mount Tai to recruit soldiers."

Seeing that Zang Ba hurriedly explained, Qin Hua hurriedly waved his hand.

"I don't need your army in Ju County, I just want you to persuade those Taishan thieves to surrender."

"I don't know your honorable name?"

"Haha, it's me who gives the salute."

Qin Hua hurriedly saluted Zang Ba and said, "I am Qin Hua." ”

"What, you are Qin Hua, who now occupies the eastern capital of Chang'an?"

Originally, Zang Ba saw that this person's popularity was extraordinary, and he should be the son of an official eunuch, either from Cao Cao or Yuan Shao from Yizhou, but he didn't expect that this person would actually be Qin Hua. The forces of Taishan County and Qin Hua did not have the slightest intersection, and they could even be said to be far apart.

"Is it unbelief?"

Seeing Zang Ba's surprised expression, Qin Hua just wanted to do something to prove his identity, but Zang Ba immediately stopped him, and respectfully knelt down to Qin Hua and saluted, "I've seen the lord." ”

"Xuangao believes this?"

This time it was Qin Hua's turn to be surprised, no matter how he looked at it now, he was just a bandit leader.

"If you can defeat me so easily, except for Lu Bu, it is estimated that there are only rumors that you can draw with Lu Bu."

"Haha, that time it wasn't actually a draw, I still lost in the end."

Qin Hua didn't seem to want to hide that past, so he said generously to Zang Ba. However, this not only did not make Zang Ba's impression of Qin Hua discounted in the slightest, but admired Qin Hua even more.

Now Zang Ba has made up his mind to devote himself to Qin Hua's command.

The reason why Zang Ba came to Mount Tai this time was also to recruit the bandits as much as possible and expand his strength.

Although he now occupies Ju County, and has formed an alliance with Sun Guan, Yili, Wu Dun and other former Yellow Turban Army, and also coexists peacefully with Lu Bu, Zang Ba knows that Xuzhou has long become a land of right and wrong, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are staring here.

According to Zang Ba's prediction, there will be a war in the short term, so he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

Only if the strength is strong enough, can he have the capital to sit on the ground, although he has not yet decided who to turn to, but at least others dare not rashly attack him.

In Zang Ba's mind, Cao Cao is a candidate, and he is not arrogant enough to establish himself as king.

However, to say that the most satisfying thing for Zang Ba is Qin Hua, with the gradual increase of Qin Hua's strength, his deeds have long been spread in the world, although there are many exaggerated or deleted plots, but Qin Hua can become the current master of the three states in just a few years, it is already a legendary story.

And Zang Ba had heard of Qin Hua's legend and became interested in him. If the legend is true, then this man is undoubtedly the most suitable monarch for his refuge.

Whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others, or even Cao Cao, they still attach importance to their background, only Qin Hua, he doesn't seem to care about his background at all, whether it is Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ma Teng or Jia Xu, they are not from a family.

Even Han Sui and others are just some small families, and Han Sui also participated in the Liangzhou Rebellion, and now he can still become the pastor of Bingzhou.

Zang Ba himself was born as a bandit, and when his father was wronged, Zang Ba led people to rescue his father in prison and took them into Mount Tai to fall into the grass.

For the sake of his identity, Zang Ba's favorite person is Qin Hua, especially after seeing Qin Hua with his own eyes today, this is why Zang Ba joined Qin Hua so easily.

"So Xuan Gao and go wash and bathe, I'm going to be busy from tomorrow."

"Yes, the last general will retire."

After speaking, Zang Ba left under the leadership of the soldiers.

He didn't ask why Qin Hua was in such a hurry, nor did he ask why Qin Hua was here.

"Fengxiao, I'll bother you from tomorrow."

Qin Hua said to Guo Jia on the side.

"It's a matter of subordination."

For business, Guo Jia will never run away, and immediately replied seriously.

"By the way, Fengxiao, you haven't taken those five stone powder recently, right?"

Qin Hua had long heard that Guo Jia had died young because of taking Wushi San, so he immediately asked Guo Jia about it, but Guo Jia was taking Wushi San, Qin Hua immediately ordered him to stop taking it, and Guo Jia talked for a long time before he could barely convince him.

You must know that Wushisan was a kind of atmosphere at that time, it was a formal hobby, just like smoking, and taking Wushisan would not affect others, Qin Hua ordered Guo Jia to give up this hobby, which is a bit of a dog taking a mouse.

But Qin Hua knew that Guo Jia would eventually die young, so he could only try his best to prevent his strategist from passing.

"Not really."

Guo Jia's expression moved slightly, and he immediately said goodbye and left.

Qin Hua, who was watching, frowned, this guy probably took it secretly again, is this still going to find a way to solve it.

"By the way, go back and invite Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and others back, and let them set up a hospital or something. By the way, a medical university was also established, and there were so few doctors in this era, and the infrastructure of the hospital had to be built. ”

Qin Hua originally only knew Hua Tuo for the famous doctors in the late Han Dynasty, and by chance he heard that there was a basic book of modern Chinese medicine called "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and the probability of this book appearing was quite a lot, so he searched curiously, and the author was actually a figure in the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Ji, whose name is Zhongjing, is a saint of traditional Chinese medicine who is no less than Hua Tuo.

There was a lot of confusion in his mind, and Qin Hua suddenly remembered how could he let Guo Jia take Zang Ba to persuade him to surrender?

Although he believed that Zang Ba was sincerely taking refuge, he still didn't dare to use Guo Jia to gamble.

"Yan Xing, Ma Chao, Jiang Yu."

"The end will be."

When the three of them saw Qin Hua calling their names, they knew that there must be a task down, and they immediately accepted the order.

"You and the three of you will lead fifty Xuanjia cavalry to escort Guo Junshi tomorrow, and you must protect the safety of Guo Junshi, you can hear clearly."

"Yes, the last general commands."

"Well, remember, pay attention to the annihilation of the whole army, and also send Guo Junshi back."

After speaking, Qin Hua was about to get up and leave, but suddenly he turned his head and continued to say to the three of them and Beigong Che: "In the future, you can wear Xuanjia, I think there is no need to hide this matter anymore." ”

"Okay."

Ma Chao shouted happily first, as a Xuanjia horseman, he could only fight in cloth clothes, obviously with powerful equipment, but he could only be packed in a package on horseback.

"My lord, so..."

Beigong Che was a little worried, and just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Qin Hua.

"It doesn't matter now, I think Meng De already knows I'm here."

Qin Hua received news from Wang Da Niu in the past few days, and suddenly many people who came to investigate the thieves in Mount Tai suddenly appeared in Mount Tai, including Cao Cao's scouts and unknown people.

These people didn't seem to want to attack the Taishan thieves, but had another purpose, so Qin Hua and Guo Jia discussed and thought that they had been exposed.

Now that the relationship between Qin Hua and Cao Cao is quite harmonious, he thinks that Cao Cao will not come directly to attack him, so he is ready to pass through Cao Cao's territory and go to Luoyang.

Of course, this is based on the fact that Qin Hua has a strong enough army, if Qin Hua only has three thousand Xuanjia horses, then Cao Cao's idea is estimated to be different.

Zang Ba really has a lot of influence among the thieves in Taishan, and as soon as he comes out, there are immediately four cottages willing to surrender.

These four cottages had already been persuaded by Zang Ba and were willing to go to Ju County with him, but now they just changed places.

In fact, Zang Ba had already persuaded five cottages, but the fifth one was the one who was attacked by the Xuanjia Cavalry, and Zang Ba was also captured in that battle.

This made Qin Hua's command increase by 2,000 soldiers again, and his strength was rapidly improved.

And after the Xuanjia Cavalry was equipped with equipment, their fighting style became more unrestrained, and their combat effectiveness was also greatly improved.

Any cottage that is selected by the Xuanjia Rider will be easily destroyed in a short period of time.

The title of the Black Wind Army also spread quickly among the Tarzan thieves, they didn't know the number of the Xuanjia Cavalry, they only knew that this army swept the land like a black whirlwind, and there was no grass where they passed, so they gave them the title of the Black Wind Army.

After having the equipment, the speed of the Xuanjia Cavalry to subdue the cottage has increased a lot, and while Zang Ba and others persuaded him, the Xuanjia Cavalry also brought a lot of soldiers to Qin Hua.

Recently, there have even been Xuanjia cavalry who have just arrived, and the other party has directly surrendered.

"Lord, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers under Qin Hua's command."

Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao worriedly, he didn't expect the soldiers under Qin Hua's command to grow so fast, and he began to believe that Qin Hua's efforts to conquer the land of Sanzhou were all on his own.

In just a few months, he actually harvested 20,000 soldiers, what a capability.

"It's okay, Mao Jue and Manzhong have already gone out, let's see their performance."

Saying that, Cao Cao tidied up his clothes and continued to say to Cheng Yu: "Tomorrow, Zhongde would like to go to Taishan County with me?" ”

"I would like to be at the mercy of my lord."

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded, and then thought that it was rumored that Qin Hua had the courage of Lu Bu, so he still brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him, just in case.

The time entered December of the fourth year of Xingping, and the weather became colder and colder.

Qin Hua's return date was postponed again, this time not because of Xiu'er's condition, Xiu'er has almost recovered recently. The reason for the postponement is that under this climate, it is difficult for him to bring back all the nearly 100,000 people he now has back to Luoyang.

In order to avoid public resentment, Qin Hua still decided to wait for the spring flowers to bloom before setting off.

Because of the outstanding performance of Zang Ba and Xuanjia Cavalry, when Qin Hua's power reaches a certain level, there is no need to lobby and attack, and those small cottages will directly take the initiative to take refuge.

During this period, the Taishan thieves did not think about resisting Qin Hua's annexation, and they even contacted to prepare for an alliance. As a result, among the major cottages, one was persuaded to surrender by Zang Ba, and the other was defeated by the Xuanjia cavalry, and the bandit alliance that continued to be held died in this way.

On the eighth day of December, the first snow fell in Taishan County.

In the white wind and snow, a military horse is slowly advancing, and the leader is Cao Cao.

Behind Cao Cao, followed by Cheng Yu and Liu Bei.

Originally, Cao Cao just wanted to bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here, but what he didn't expect was that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were reluctant to leave Liu Bei, and even said that if they had to leave Liu Bei, the two would abandon their officials directly.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only take Liu Bei with him.

"Gong Cao, is Qin Xuanhu really in Taishan County?"

At first, Cao Cao did not say the purpose of this trip, until after entering Taishan County, Liu Bei and others knew that they were actually going to see Qin Hua.

Taishan County is located at the junction of Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, or even farther, how could Qin Hua, as the lord of the three states, suddenly come to this kind of place?

Although Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's words, he didn't want to pay attention to them, continued to look ahead, and hurried forward.

"You..."

Zhang Fei saw it clearly in the back, and just wanted to get angry, he was held down by Guan Yu.

"Third brother."

Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and shook his head slightly, and Zhang Fei stopped talking angrily.

The two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, who were watching this scene from the side, both snorted lightly, and they were very dissatisfied with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Cao Cao treated the two of them so well, but they were not interested, which made many of Cao Cao's generals very dissatisfied, of course, they were dissatisfied with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, especially Zhang Fei.

They have also heard about Zhang Fei's words and deeds, Zhang Fei has been disrespectful to Cao Cao many times, and Cao Cao has forgiven him every time, but Zhang Fei's attitude is still the same.

However, Cao Cao once ordered not to embarrass the two, so the Xiahou brothers and those generals of the Cao family were not easy to do.

"Lord, Cao Cao is here."

Qin Hua, who was waiting for Guo Jia to come to the meeting, suddenly heard Guo Jia who came in say.

"What Mengde came to me directly? How many soldiers and horses did he bring? ”

"Less than a hundred. and Liu Bei's three brothers. ”

"Good manner, I'm still thinking about how to go back to his realm, and he dares to come directly to my realm. Then let him in. ”

After saying to the guards, Qin Hua suddenly remembered something, pulled Xiaoxiao who was waiting on the side to his side, whispered a few words in her ear, and then saw Xiaoxiao go to the back hall with a red face.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, nothing, just a little thing."

Qin Hua didn't mess around with Xiao, and Xiao's blushing was just because Qin Hua was exhaling in her ear.

There is actually only one thing to explain to Xiaoxiao, that is, let her hide with Xiu'er and don't show up before Cao Cao leaves.

The title of "Cao Cao's good wife" was not for nothing, for Zhang Ji's wife, Cao Cao lost Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang; For the sake of Qin Yilu's wife, Cao Cao lost Guan Yu's trust; For the sake of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's wife, Cao Cao suffered a crushing defeat at Chibi (of course, this is a secondary reason); If he was allowed to see Xiu'er, things that might have been able to return to Chang'an peacefully would become complicated.

Especially Guan Yu, who came with him this time, was the one who prayed to Cao Cao one after another before the big war to marry Qin Yilu's wife to him after the city was broken.

In terms of lust, even if it is not as good as Cao Cao, it is not far behind.
