Chapter 418: Zang Ba
Liu Wei was stunned, is there anything else in Xuzhou that he doesn't know.
"You two don't sell it, who are you talking about?" Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and Tao Ying and asked.
"Strategist, who are you talking about, Zilong is also very curious." Zhao Yun also looked at Zhuge Liang at this time and asked.
"Zang Ba." Zhuge Liang said with a smile and said the name.
Zang Ba, as soon as Liu Wei heard the name, he also remembered.
Zang Ba, he has naturally heard of it, although there are not many scenes in the romance, but his ability is good.
Liu Wei remembered that Zang Ba first voted for Tao Qian, and then united with Lu Bu, and when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, Zang Ba led his troops to rescue him, but the army was defeated.
Zang Ba went into hiding, and Cao Cao searched by name, and sent someone to find Zang Ba, first named him the minister of Langya, and later appointed Qingzhou and Xuzhou to Zang Ba.
"Where is this Zang Ba now?" Liu Wei looked at everyone and asked, if you can really get Zang Ba, it will not be a talent.
"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zang Ba threw himself into Xuzhou, but later he occupied Kaiyang and attacked Xiao Jian of Langya many times to ask for grain and grass."
Tao Ying looked at Liu Wei and replied, although he didn't care much about Xuzhou government affairs before, Zang Ba still knew about it.
"Zang Ba is brave, no one in Xuzhou is his opponent, and his father is helpless, so he no longer cares, Zang Ba has since stationed troops in the Kaiyang area, and has become a hegemon of his own party, independent of his father's rule."
After listening to Tao Ying's words, Liu Wei also understood instantly, and he could also understand that Tao Qian relied on Danyang elite soldiers to defend Xuzhou, and there were indeed no outstanding generals under his command.
Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to curry favor with Cao Cao so quickly after Cao Cao took Yanzhou, and the person he used to send it to each other was still a yellow turban thief.
Liu Wei understood a little at this time, why after Liu Daer saved Xuzhou in history, Tao Qian chose to give way.
I'm afraid that they know that no one in Xuzhou can resist them, so instead of letting Liu Daer take it by force, it is better to give it to him.
"Where is Kaiyang, and how far is it?" After a while, Liu Wei looked at Tao Ying and asked.
"Kaiyang is not far from Jieshi, and it is only a day's journey from Jieshi, which is explaining the southeast direction." Tao Ying replied immediately.
"Okay, since that's the case, then according to what you said, go ahead and Kaiyang to try to recruit Zang Ba." Liu Wei nodded and decided.
It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity.
"Now there are tens of thousands of horses in Kaiyang, Your Majesty should be careful when he goes." Tao Ying looked at Liu Wei and reminded, "I wonder how many people Your Majesty plans to lead?" ”
"It doesn't take much, Zilong can lead Long Wujun and Kong Ming to go with me." Liu Wei looked at Tao Ying and replied with a smile.
I didn't go to fight Zang Ba hard, so there was no need to bring tens of thousands of people with me.
Otherwise, if he fights with Zang Ba, wouldn't it be cheaper in the end, Liu Bei.
Bringing Long Wujun with him is just to ensure his own safety, after all, no one knows what Zang Ba's attitude is.
Tao Ying thought about it, and since Liu Wei had made a decision, he didn't say much.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll set off tomorrow, and this stone will be handed over to you and Zhang He." Liu Wei commanded after making a decision.
"Yes." Tao Ying and Zhang He responded together.
Especially Zhang He, he didn't expect that Liu Wei had just transferred him from Jizhou, and this time he directly asked him and Tao Ying to lead the army.
The next day, Liu Wei directly led the men and horses in the direction of Kaiyang.
According to Tao Ying, now Zang Ba has tens of thousands of people, and there are Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yili under his command to help.
"How is it, what is the movement of the Han army over there in Jieshi?" On the other side, Zhang Fei looked at the spies who came back in a hurry and said in a rough voice.
Seeing that the spy was back, Pang Tong also looked at the spy at this time and waited for his answer.
"Report to the three generals and military divisions, today our people saw that there was a Han army going in the southeast direction." The spy looked at Zhang Fei and Pang Tong and replied.
It is precisely because of this that he will hurriedly come back this time to report and pass the news back.
"Southeast? What are they going to do there, if they want to take Xuzhou, they should not go directly to the east, it is difficult that he still wants to take a long detour. ”
Zhang Fei was confused after hearing this, and then said puzzled.
Pang Tong looked thoughtful, frowning and not speaking immediately.
He knew how Liu Wei could do such a useless thing, it couldn't be just for a detour.
And even if Liu Wei was so confused, Pang Tong believed that Zhuge Liang would not do such a stupid thing.
So there's a reason why they're doing it.
"Kaiyang." Soon Pang Tong thought about what was going on.
"To the southeast of Jieshi, the closest to Jieshi is Kaiyang, I think Liu Wei must want to subdue Zang Ba."
"Zang Ba? It's just a thief, what's the use of asking them to be a rabble? Zhang Fei said disdainfully after hearing Pang Tong's words.
"Third general, don't underestimate this Zang Ba, don't forget it, it's just this thief, he has been independent of Kaiyang since Tao Qian's time, but now he is still like this, which shows this person's talent."
Pang Tong shook his head, looked at Zhang Fei very solemnly, and said.
"This matter is not trivial, if Liu Wei really recruits Zang Ba, then he will have more strength at that time."
Zhang Fei also frowned after listening to Pang Tong's words, but he was a little impatient.
"And what are you going to do with this?" Zhang Fei looked at Pang Tong very displeased.
In his opinion, it is better to study so much than to directly lead the soldiers and horses to rush over, and when the time comes, it can be said that he will avenge himself for the revenge of the Jieshi.
"If we rush to Kaiyang at this time, it will definitely be too late, we can quickly send a message to General Guan and ask him to go to Kaiyang to stop Liu Wei."
Pang Tong thought about it and said, Now that he can get out of Yang today, he can only get out of Guan Yu.
"Second brother?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Since that's the case, then you can say it yourself." ”
I don't know why, during this time, he always felt that his second brother had something on his mind, and he was a lot colder about everything.
Pang Tong naturally didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed, and then asked people to send the letter after he wrote it.
Of course, Liu Wei didn't know that the matter of his trip to Kaiyang was known to Pang Tong's people so quickly, and he also guessed his intentions.
But even if Liu Wei knew, he wouldn't care, because he wouldn't give up so easily.
"Kong Ming, this time to persuade Zang Ba, I don't know how sure you are?"
Halfway through, during the break, Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"You don't know until you try."
Liu Wei thought that he could hear Zhuge Liang's confident answer, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to just smile and then speak painlessly.
"Do you say that I should separate you from Fengxiao, so that you will not be affected by it." Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Zilong thinks that this is not Guo Junshi's problem, in fact, Zilong thinks that Guo Junshi was not like this before."
At this time, Zhao Yun on the side looked at Liu Wei and added.
"Zilong, what do you mean by this, why do I think you are talking about me again." Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun on the side and smiled.
"Your Majesty, Zilong didn't say this." Zhao Yun smiled and replied directly.
Liu Wei listened to it, this is worth it, these people are all so slippery now.
But this feeling is still very good, at least there is no barrier, and there is no need to be so restrained about them.
After about half an hour, several people led the men and horses to continue in the direction of Kaiyang.
In the evening, at this time, Liu Wei and the others had already rushed to the Kaiyang area except for a break halfway.
"You can see Kaiyang City not far ahead, and this Zang Ba is in the city." The man who knew the way pointed to the front and said.
Liu Wei nodded, "Let's move on." ”
Since he is about to arrive in Kaiyang City, how can there be a reason not to go in.
Everyone advanced some distance, and then came to the foot of Kaiyang City.
When Liu Wei was about to call to open the city gate, before he could speak, Guan Yu led the people to Kaiyang City.
"Yun Chang, it's really been a long time." Liu Wei looked at Guan Yu on the side and said with a smile.
"It seems that Yun Chang is also here for this Zang Ba?"
