"Zhongtai, what's wrong?" Seeing that Sun Guan's expression seemed to be a little wrong, Guan Hai asked with some curiosity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Qingzhou Army, Guan Hai was the first general to follow Yan Shao, and Sun Guan was the second. Although the personalities of the two people are not so compatible, the relationship between the two is still much stronger than that of most of the people in the Qingzhou Army, and they often drank and feasted with each other when they were in Beihai in the past.

"This..."Sun Guan hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to say it.

The name Zang Ba is not very unfamiliar to him, as once said, he and Zang Ba are both from Taishan County and know each other well. And the relationship is very close, even after following Yan Shao, there will often be correspondence.

It can be said that if it weren't for Yan Shao's original provocation of Sun Guan once and let him gamble with Guan Hai, now among the Taishan generals who are accompanying Zang Ba, I am afraid that Sun Guan's name would have been there.

Noticing Sun Guan's expression, Yan Shao also remembered Sun Guan's origin.

Although Sun Guan did not say it, Yan Shao remembered that he was also one of the Taishan thieves in history, and his status was not low, and he could almost be regarded as the second person under Zang Ba.

"Isn't it Zhongtai, you know this Zang Ba?"

"Exactly..."Sun Guan smiled bitterly and nodded. I do have something to do with this Zang Ba, in the past when I was a ranger in Taishan County, I used to call this person a brother..."He is not worried that Yan Shao will be suspicious, one is because he has followed for a long time, and it can be said that Yan Shao's first batch of team. Another is that he knows Yan Shao's character very well, and knows that he is not the kind of suspicious person, which is why he was forced to follow Yan Shao at the beginning, but he didn't think about running away at all.

To be reasonable, although Yan Shao is not as eloquent as Cao Cao or Sun Ce, as the master of the people, his character is still very suitable.

In addition, Yan Shao is now powerful, and he is one of the few princes in the world, so this small flaw in character can be tolerated.

The people present were all smart people, and when they saw Sun Guan's expression, they already understood that there must be some inside story, and after getting Sun Guan's confirmation, they were even more convinced.

"I don't want Zhongtai to be an old acquaintance with this person..."Li Ru touched the beard on his chin, if there is anything on his face that has not been changed by Hua Tuo, I am afraid that there is only this beard that is not very distinctive.

But it's not surprising that how many people in this world rely on their beards to distinguish others?

In addition, Li Ru's beard is mediocre, unlike Guan Yu, so he didn't deliberately make it all of a sudden, so he kept it.

"I don't know if General Sun can persuade this Zang Ba, the lord is eloquent and strategic, and has the ambition to recruit wise men from all over the world, more than a hundred times stronger than that Tao Gongzu, if that Zang Ba votes under the lord's account, it is also a good thing, isn't it a hundred times stronger than serving under that Tao Gongzu? The ancients said: Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters to do things, isn't it exactly this truth? ”

But he moved Sun Guan to persuade Zang Ba, although it is not clear how much ability that Zang Ba has, but seeing that he can burn the grain cart that transports grain, he should not be an incompetent person, if such a person is invested in Yan Shao's account, not to mention how much role he can play, at least he can reduce a lot of trouble.

Besides, having such a troop of troops and horses wandering around is not a reassuring thing...

"This..."Sun Guan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

As an old acquaintance in the early years, Sun Guan still knows Zang Ba's character well, and he is very clear that he is not the kind of person who can easily talk and move.

"Xuangao has a resolute temperament, and I am afraid that words can be moved..."

And with Sun Guan's understanding of Zang Ba, since he is now in Langxie, I am afraid that the strategy of the Qingzhou Army will have some trouble in the future. Even if Zang Ba and the Taishan thieves under his command are not as strong as Yan Shao's Qingzhou army, Zang Ba himself is not a scheming person, and it is impossible to use his inferior forces to compete with the dominant Qingzhou army.

It is bound to avoid the real and attack the false, which is also advocated in the art of war.

It should be said that Yan Shao used the previous sentence, but Zang Ba used the latter sentence.

For Yan Shao, in the case of having superior forces, it is natural that the sooner he defeats the opponent, the better. As for Zang Ba, his own strength does not have an advantage, so the only way is to avoid the place where the opponent's strength is dominant and find the weak point.

Considering that Yan Shao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are almost all in Jucheng now, if he really wants to rush over like this, wouldn't he be looking for death.

The only weak point is the grain road.

This is also the reason why wars have always liked to rob grain routes, one is to hit the other side's supply lines. No matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, if they run out of food and go hungry, they will also collapse. Another is that if you can really push the opponent's camp, why bother looking for any weak points?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

To be reasonable, Yan Shao's command can now be regarded as full of talents, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Sun Guan, Pei Yuanshao and Wu Anguo, etc., and there are also Li Ru, Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao in terms of strategists.

Coupled with Guo Yuan, Wang Xiu and other celebrities, the lineup of civil and military forces alone is not inferior to any prince, even if it is not inferior to Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, in addition to the number of talents under his command, it is not the same.

However, Yan Shao's thirst for talents is the same as Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi.

I don't like Jingzhou, I like it...

There is also Pang Tong, who is talented, but his ugly face is not liked by Liu Bei and Sun Quan...

Zang Ba's talent Yan Shao is still clear, and the Taishan thieves in history are by no means limited to thieves. This can be seen from the fact that Yuan Tan has always taken Zang Ba to guard Xuzhou in history, and there is no way to see that Yan Shao's account is full of talents, but there is also an urgent thirst for talents.

For example, right now, because three of the four generals of Qingzhou are gathered in Langxie, only one Huang Zhong is left in Qingzhou. Although Huang Zhong is brave, he is not very good at strategy, and he is only barely competent to take charge alone. Of course, there is no problem in dealing with ordinary opponents, but after all, Yan Shao is facing Yuan Shao, an extremely troublesome opponent.

If it weren't for Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao, Yan Shao probably wouldn't be so relieved.

And what about Zang Ba? Historically, he was able to take charge on his own, even if he was not very good at martial arts. The most important thing for a general is not anything else, but strategy, the ability to lead troops into battle.

What's more, Zang Ba is not unskilled in martial arts, although there is definitely no way to compare with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and even Tai Shici and Gan Ning, generals who are not only excellent in martial arts, but also have strategies, the ability to protect themselves on the battlefield is still there, and the preliminary estimate of the force value is at least more than eighty, which may be slightly inferior to Guan Hai and Zhou Cang...

And the real generals, but rarely lead the troops into battle in person...

Thinking of this, Yan Shao already had a heart of love. Anyway, Zang Ba in history didn't see Tao Qian or Lu Bu in the end, but fought hard when he was under Cao Cao's tent, which shows that neither Tao Qian nor Lu Bu is the master in his eyes...

"That's true, but Zhongtai you can also try more, there are no eggs under the nest? Now that Lang Xie is under the front of my army, it is easy to seize it, this Zang announced that if he continues to resist stubbornly, how can there be any good results, if this person is really as Zhongtai said, he should understand the truth that those who know the times are handsome..."

If someone else spoke, of course Sun Guan could shirk one or two, but since it was Yan Shao's mouth...

Sun nodded his head, indicating that he understood what Yan Shao meant.

"It just so happens that the siege of the city has little to do with the Dare First Army, you can take some soldiers and horses to contact Zang Xuangao..." I, Yan Shao, am not a stingy person, you can tell him that if he is really willing to invest in my account, I can completely entrust this Lang Evil County to him..."

Everyone around Yan Shao was stunned when they heard this, especially Sun Guan was even more moved when he heard the words.

As I said before, there is some connection between him and Zang Ba, knowing that Zang Ba is now a deployment under Tao Qian―――――― of course, it is a semi-independent state.

However, today's Zang Ba is not as breezy as in history, but he has Kaiyang City as a stronghold. The place where Lang evil is governed is Jucheng, and a city like Kaiyang is just an ordinary small city, and even the Xiaopei that Liu Bei has now is not as good.

At all, Xiaopei can be regarded as a county, and there are countless cities in the territory, which are much stronger than a Kaiyang County.

If Yan Shao is really so generous, maybe he can really say that he can move Zang Ba―――――― in fact, what Sun Guan is most worried about is that Yan Shao wants to make people surrender again, and he is unwilling to share some benefits.

It is not surprising that on the one hand, Yan Shao is now in a high position, and according to Sun Guan's understanding, Yan Shao is not a generous person, although there are many rewards on gold and silver brocade silks, but they are limited to this, not like other princes in this period, they like to reward fields or other better things, and the control of the rights in the hands is also relatively strict, not the kind of free-range.

Another is that Zang Ba at this time is not very famous, but just a thief who occupies a small city. For this kind of person, the people or princes of this period are somewhat contemptuous, which is why Tao Qian accepted such a talent as Zang Ba, but only let him occupy a small city in Kaiyang.

If Yan Shao is still the original Beihai County Guard, it would be better to say that now he is a Qingzhou Mu, and he is the overlord of one party, and the gap between him and the Taishan thieves in terms of identity and status is too great.

At this time, it is somewhat impossible to expect Yan Shao to still be as polite and virtuous as in the past.

This is not Sun Guan's own imagination, but a fact in his own eyes.

In the past, when he was in Beihai, Yan Shao would always send someone to inquire if there were any negligent talents in the local area, and after confirming that there would be such people, Yan Shao would even visit the door, and sometimes he would resort to the means of visiting the thatched house.

And the result of this is a lot of results, such as Zhao Yun, who was originally just an ordinary pawn, and now he is already a general of the Qingzhou Army. Gan Ning and Tai Shici, the former is just a water thief, and the latter is a fugitive, and before being recruited by Yan Shao, he was still thinking about whether to run to Liaodong to avoid the limelight.

There is also Huang Zhong, who was not very famous in Jingzhou, and in the end, he was also used by Yan Shao to take care of the means of the thatched house, and finally he was cleaned up and obedient, and now he has become one of the four generals in Qingzhou.

This series of examples can prove how serious Yan Shao's desire for talents is, but after Yan Shao became the pastor of Qingzhou, he obviously owned the whole Qingzhou, but he didn't see him as a corporal of Lixian as in the past. The spirit of looking at the thatched house and lying on the face of dead skin is of course gone.

Even if someone came to Mao Sui to recommend himself, or someone under Yan Shao's account recommended some wise men to him, Yan Shao only nodded when he heard this, oh, and said that he understood, and then what should he do, as for the wise men he recruited? It's not like Huang Zhong or Zhao Yun in the past, who can soar into the sky and occupy a high position in the Qingzhou Army...

In fact, this is because Sun Guan misunderstood Yan Shao, not that Yan Shao is really not as eager as he used to be. To be reasonable, if there is really any talent appearing, even if it is only at the ordinary level, Yan Shao can also show the demeanor of Corporal Lixian, the key is...

Nope...

There are so many talents in Qingzhou, and most of them have gathered under Yan Shao's account. After Yan Shao occupied Linzi, someone recommended a lot of talents, and Yan Shao did check it carefully, but none of them were familiar to him, almost all of them were unknown...

To be reasonable, it may not be that there are no capable people among them, maybe there is one like Huang Zhong who has been buried. But there are too many such people, and Yan Shao doesn't have that kind of discerning gaze, how can he pick out real gold from a large number of 'talents'?

Instead of dwelling on what talents are in it from time to time, Yan Shao should focus on more meaningful things. What's more, after becoming a Qingzhou pastor, Yan Shao has indeed become busy, no longer as relaxed and idle as in the past, and even the time spent with his wife and concubine at home has been reduced a lot because of this.

And now, Yan Shao's generous demeanor surprised Sun Guan and at the same time gave him a lot of confidence. He knew very well that Zang Ba, like him, was a person with big ambitions.

It is impossible to meet his needs with just one **, although Zang Ba has not complained in the letters he usually exchanges, but Sun Guan can read some of his meaning.

What is now in front of Zang Ba is the entire Langxie County.

This not only proves Yan Shao's sincerity, but also a huge opportunity.

During this period of time in Xiapi, Sun Guan could see very clearly, that Tao Qian was indeed not a person who could tolerate people, and he mainly looked at his background, and his talent was not very important in comparison.

Zang Ba wants to be reused under Tao Qian's account, which can almost be said to be unrealistic. Not to mention being entrusted by Tao Qian with a county, not to mention the strength of the Qingzhou Army, Sun Guan, as one of them, couldn't be clearer.

Zang Ba is indeed powerful, maybe a little stronger than Sun Guan. But no matter how powerful Zang Ba is, he is just one person, and what about the Qingzhou Army?

Whether it is Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, or Li Ru who accompanies Yan Shao, they are definitely not inferior to Zang Ba. It's really inferior, I'm afraid there's only one Guanhai...

Thinking of this, Sun Guan was already holding his fists. "Don't worry, the lord, I will go to persuade Xuangao, and I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!"

"Hmm!"
