Chapter 297: Ganmei
For Yan Shao, the original guard of Jucheng was not very important, he was just a gift after Yan Shao captured Langxie. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info There is not much difference between him and him, after holding his arm and talking about it, he also let him retreat, and Zang Ba and the Taishan generals around him are the objects that Yan Shao really needs to woo, especially Zang Ba, who is a rare general, and Yan Shao, who is currently short of talents, is an object that cannot be let go.
After waving away some idle people and waiting, looking at the hall where only 'his own people' were left, Yan Shao smiled and said to Zang Ba.
"I have to Xuan Gao, like a tiger with wings, I wanted to have a long talk, but unfortunately there are many things in Qingzhou, and I have to go back to Qingzhou first after leaving for a long time, so the evil thing will be handed over to Xuan Gao and the generals, and I hope you can do your best, don't live up to my expectations..."
"We will do our best to repay the Lord!" Kneeling on one knee, Zang Ba and the others showed their loyalty.
At first, although I was a little uncomfortable, but after a lot of times, everyone gradually got used to it.
Zang Ba and others are very grateful to Yan Shaozhi, after all, at this time, Zang Ba and the generals of Mount Tai are not famous, and what they possess is only a city of Kaiyang, but Yan Shao entrusted the entire Lang evil to him, how can Zang Ba and others not be grateful?
Although Zang Ba has ambition and ambition now, he has not yet reached the point of later, for him and the generals of Taishan under his account, one Lang evil is enough for them to satisfy.
But...
Looking at Yan Shao with a smile on his face, Zang Ba hesitated for a moment, but still spoke. "The lord trusts, Zang Ba and the others are naturally grateful, but..."
"Just what? It's okay to preach high! Seeing that Zang Ba was a little hesitant, Yan Shao spoke.
"The lord trusts me so much, and we deserve to repay him with death, so as to live up to the trust of the lord. It's just that Lang Xie was originally owned by Tao Qian, and now that he loses it, Tao Qian will definitely lead his troops to recapture it, and it is a little difficult to hold it with Lang Xie's current strength alone. β
The so-called death of a confidant, Yan Shao's previous performance made Zang Ba and others clearly understand the meaning of this sentence, and also made them dare not live up to Yan Shao's expectationsββββββ think about it, people handed over the entire county to you, and did not impose any restrictions, if you are an ordinary person, you may be thinking about how to take this opportunity to become the master of one party. However, Zang Ba is a heroic character, and he is ambitious, but he is unwilling to be disappointed when people treat him like this.
In this way, Zang Ba had to think about how to defend the Lang Evil. Just like Zang Ba said, inexplicably without a county, Tao Qian would not be able to give up anyway.
Now that the army is stationed in the territory of Langxie, Tao Qian does not dare to act rashly, but it is impossible for Yan Shao's tens of thousands of troops to stay here forever. As Yan Shao said, the affairs of Qingzhou are very urgent, and I am afraid that I will have to go back soon.
In this way, not only will Zang Ba be left with a mess, but also an opponent who is eyeing him. It is true that Tao Qian is indeed an incompetent person, but this incompetent person has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and no matter how high Zang Ba thinks of himself, it is impossible to ignore the existence of these tens of thousands of troops. And with Langxie's current strength, if Xuzhou really wants to attack, it will be impossible to resist it no matter what.
So although he was a little ashamed, Zang Ba still had to bring up this question.
After listening to Zang Ba's words, Yan Shao also understood.
"I don't know how much strength Lang Xie has now?"
Yan Shao didn't plan to let Zang Ba use the little force at hand to defend Langxie, but now that Zang Ba has spoken, he just took the opportunity to make up for Zang Ba.
"Back to the lord, now there are more than 1,000 elite Taishan troops under the command of Langxie, and there are more than 700 people left in the Langevil defenders, more than 500 people left in the Kaiyang garrison, plus the remaining ones in other scattered cities and those who have been scattered, almost close to 3,000 people..."
After Yan Shao entrusted the Lang Evil to Zang Ba, Zang Ba began to understand the situation of the Lang Evil, and before entering the city, he understood the general situation of the Lang Evil, which is naturally very simple now.
Hearing that Zang Ba was like a few treasures, he made the situation of Lang Xie clear, whether it was Li Ru or other Gan Ning and others, they were a little surprised, and they also knew why Yan Shao would so simply hand over the heavy responsibility of Lang Xie to Zang Ba, a guy who had just surrendered and was born a thief.
"Three thousand people, it is indeed a little less, if Tao Qian's old puppet really leads the troops to attack, it will be a little more troublesome to deal with. In that case, I will send you 3,000 soldiers and horses from the army, and then 500 elite horsemen, so that you have 6,000 soldiers and horses in your hands. β
Yan Shao also sighed when he said that.
"Thinking about it, you should also know that now Yuan Shao is eyeing Jizhou, and he has occupied a county in the plains, making my Qingzhou incomplete. During this time when I led the army to attack Langxie, Tao Qian of the plain was even more abnormal, making it impossible for people to exert their full strength, and it won't be long before I return to Qingzhou this time, I'm afraid that I will have to discuss the ownership of the plain with Yuan Shao, and I can't give you too many troops..."
Although Yan Shao said very helplessly, Zang Ba's eyes were full of surprise.
Originally, when he said this, it was decided that Yan Shao could give one or two thousand people, but he didn't expect Yan Shao to give him three thousand troops and five hundred elite horsemen.
Yan Shao's Qingzhou army is very elite, Zang Ba knows it clearly, although he took advantage of the battlefield before, but it was in the case of sneak attacks and ambushes, even so Zang Ba still lost a lot of manpower.
Compared with such an elite, the Xuzhou soldiers and horses are much weaker, and Zang Ba is even confident that he can use these three thousand soldiers and horses to deal with twice the number of Xuzhou soldiers. What's more, Yan Shao also gave him five hundred fine cavalry, needless to say about the role of the cavalry, the value of these five hundred cavalry is even higher than the three thousand soldiers and horses, so Zang Ba also felt Yan Shao's trust and attention to him.
It's just that...
"Why does the lord trust us so much?"
Although he knew that this was not suitable for such an occasion, Zang Ba couldn't help but ask. It's no wonder that he is like this, he really doesn't ask this question, and his heart is itching.
That's right, if Zang Ba is confident in his ability alone, he will definitely not be inferior to anyone, especially in leading troops in battle. But in the end, he is not famous now, he is just a small person, let alone Tao Qian, even the officials in this Lang evil country actually don't look up to him very much.
Of course, this is also related to Zang Ba's identity, Zang Ba's early identity is a ranger if it sounds good, and it is a thief if it is ugly. It's just that this era is the era of the head of the family, how can these upper-class people from the family be able to look down on a mere thief?
With the comparison of these people, it is even more rare for Yan Shao's behavior.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
I have to say that Zang Ba's question stumped Yan Shao somewhat, that is, the generals behind Yan Shao also looked at it one by one, and they were very curious, and they didn't understand why Yan Shao would actually entrust Lang Xie to a person who not only had no reputation, but was also the only one who was not very famous.
Looking at the people who were looking at him, Yan Shao smiled bitterly in his heart.
"I can't tell you because I've seen the Three Kingdoms rendition, right?"
The world says that Yan Shao has the wisdom to know people, so he can discover Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and other heroes. Before these people met Yan Shao, they could almost be said to be unknown, and the most famous was Gan Ning, or the notorious ββββββ the reputation of a Jinfan thief, but no matter how you think about it, it can't be called good.
However, these people who were originally unknown were recognized by Yan Shao after meeting Yan Shao.
Needless to say, Zhao Yun's performance before the Tiger Prison had already surprised everyone who was still wondering why Yan Shao was specifically asking for a pawn. Gan Ning was even more active in the Battle of Xuzhou, killing many generals of the Cao army in a row, only to lose in the duel with Dian Wei later.
As for Huang Zhong?
Although there don't seem to be any special deeds now, judging from the two examples of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, no one dares to underestimate him. And this is only an external opinion, only the members of the Qingzhou Army know how terrifying Huang Zhong is.
Maybe he is still a little rusty in all aspects such as the art of war, but in terms of martial arts, he is above everyone else, that is, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who once fought with Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, are also much inferior to Huang Zhong in martial arts.
In a way, Huang Zhong was probably the only person in this period who could compete with Lu Bu in terms of force, not only in martial arts, but also in archery. If you want to say that the only drawback, I'm afraid is the riding skills.
For a general, martial arts are of course very important, but riding skills are even more important.
Li Ru once listed blades, armor and good horses as the three most important things for military generals, the first two are related to martial arts, and the latter one is related to horsemanship.
Huang Zhong has been in Jingzhou in his early years, even if he knows some riding skills, he does not have a magic horse like Chitu, and he may have more boats than horseback riding on weekdays, and you can imagine how you ride them. Although it has been made up for some over the years, compared with Lu Bu, this gap is still a bit big.
When the day comes, Huang Zhong can really have riding skills like Lu Bu or Zhao Yun, and he will also become a peerless fierce general who can really reach the same level as Lu Bu.
As for now?
Huang Zhonghui is the best challenger for Lu Bu, but if he wants to win, he is afraid that he will need to make some more efforts.
No matter what, the performance of Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others made people think that Yan Shao had the ability to recognize people. It's a pity that Yan Shao knows his own affairs, he has never had the ability to know people, and he has such an ability just because he has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But this matter can never be said, looking at the appearance of everyone, Yan Shao smiled bitterly, and could only speak.
"Since Zhongtai followed me, he has praised Xuangao a lot, listened to it a lot, and naturally understood something. Besides, although I am not familiar with Xuangao, let alone trust, but Zhongtai has followed me for many years, how can I not believe his words..."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Guan suddenly burst into tears with excitement, his hands clenched into fists, and his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Other onlookers were also shocked, especially Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others, remembering their attitude towards themselves and others on weekdays. Maybe Yan Shao has this or that shortcoming, but if such a person can't be called the master, what kind of person can be called the master?
"Lord!"
There was a loud noise, and everyone in the hall knelt down in unison.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
As I said before, Yan Shao's chicken soup for the soul in his previous life was not for nothing, and he knew how to win people's hearts between words. Although it can't reach the realm of Liu Bei, but it is better to use it usuallyββββββ crying every day, crying every night, it's okay at first, who doesn't bother after a long time?
In any case, Yan Shao's previous words made Sun Guan and the others' loyalty value explode. Even those half-hearted people under Zang Ba felt that Yan Shao was indeed a master worth following, and they had the idea of doing a good job.
Although he wants to leave Langxie, he should rush back to Qingzhou.
But no matter how soon you can, you can't go back immediately as soon as you take down Langxie, it would be too hasty. The Qingzhou Army under Yan Shao has just finished a big battle, and it needs to take a good rest, and it is impossible to do it for three or five days.
In the case that the whole territory of Langxie has been occupied, it is somewhat inappropriate to continue to live in tents.
Of course, the original Jucheng guard vacated the residence of the Lang evil minister in front, and then welcomed Yan Shao and others into it.
I have to say that the original Lang Xie Xiang is a person who knows how to enjoy, and the mansion is also splendid, especially in the courtyard. At least after moving in, both Yan Shao and Gan Ning and the others were very satisfied, and even Zhao Yun, who was the least particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, also had a soothing face.
There's no way, it's really not inhabited outside...
Living in tents every day, and in the wilderness, it is conceivable that mosquitoes alone are a big problem.
If it's fine for a day or two or a few days, but if you stay for ten days and a half month, then it's not human. What's more, living outside, you have to always be on guard against possible attacks by the enemy, even if you know that the Xuzhou army is hundreds of miles away and it is unlikely that you will really come over, there is still a string in your heart that is tight.
Now that there is a place for people to rest and relax, Yan Shao and others still can't ask for it. Why did so many heroes die in the gentle countryside in the past? It's nothing more than that when leading the troops to fight, they suffered a lot, and suddenly returned to Gentle Township, so it was difficult to struggle back.
"Are they still happy, my lord?" Looking at Zang Ba, who had just returned, Yin Li and the others hurriedly asked.
If it is said that before, they still had the slightest doubt about Yan Shao, the lord, then after the previous events, of course, these doubts are gone. They had never seen such a monarch before, especially after comparing it with an old guy like Tao Qian, it was even more unusual.
"Yes, it's not that you don't know how insatiable the original Lang Evil Appearance is, especially relying on Tao Qian's favor, he is even more wanton to collect money, in addition to the area of the Xiangfu is inferior, it is not inferior to the State Pastoral Mansion in other aspects, of course the lord will not be picky..."Zang Ba said with a relaxed expression.
During this period of getting along, Zang Ba felt more and more that Yan Shao was a master worth following, not only wise and martial, but also easy-going.
Just when Zang Ba was thinking that his decision was correct, Yin Li next to him spoke. "That's right, Chief."
"Didn't I tell you, don't call me the leader in the future, call me the general!" A little displeased, Zang Ba said.
Yan Shao did hand over Lang Evil to Zang Ba, but it was not complete, at least in political affairs, it was handed over to the original Lang Evil local officials and some officials from Qingzhou to manage, Zang Ba was only responsible for military affairs, and at the same time gave Zang Ba the title of Cavalry Captain.
Don't look at it as a cavalry lieutenant, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the generals were not yet overflowing, the cavalry lieutenant was actually the kind that really had the right and belonged to the highest military governor of a county. Compared with the cavalry captain, the so-called miscellaneous general is actually nothing at all.
As for Yin Li and others under Zang Ba, they were also awarded official positions one by one.
Seeing Zang Ba seemed a little displeased, Yin Li was as kind as flowing.
"General."
"Tell me, what's the matter?
"When do you think we're going to send that gift?" The expression was a little mysterious, Yin Li asked.
"This..."Zang Ba seemed a little hesitant, not to say that he was reluctant to send the gift. Maybe for ordinary men, this is a gift that should be possessed alone, but Zang Ba is not a mortal after all, so he doesn't have this kind of thought.
Just giving such a gift is still a little embarrassing for a big husband.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zang Ba still nodded. "I'll send that gift tomorrow..."
Hearing Zang Ba's words, everyone suddenly smiled.
There's no way, whoever let them mix under Yan Shao's hands now, they still need to curry favor with their own monarch. And if you want to please your own monarch, I am afraid there is nothing better than giving a gift that is desirable.
Looking at the girl standing in front of him, looking a little timid, Yan Shao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It's too white...
From the previous life to this life, Yan Shao has seen a lot of beauties, even Diao Chan is also a person in her room, but she has never seen such a beauty.
Although in terms of appearance alone, it is Zhang Ning's level, but the white and smooth skin like milk is something he has never seen before.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yan Shao asked softly.
"What's your name?"
"Slave Ganmei...", as if he knew who the person in front of him was, and knew better what he meant to him, although he was still a little shy and afraid, he still spoke.
"Ganme?"
