Chapter 1017: The Battle of Qingzhou (5)
Wang Xiu left, before leaving, put a silk package on Zang Ba's low table, Sun Guan and the four of them transferred out of the inner tent, Zang Ba lifted the silk, and sure enough, as the four expected, it was the seal of the captain.
In front of the seal of the county governor of the drama is agate, square shape, red, no impurities of the sand heart, nose button, the seal surface is larger and both hands hold it, the seal is coiled, and the seal of the county governor is engraved.
The number of words of the seal was originally four characters, since the first emperor reformed, the seal of the Son of Heaven is still called the seal alone, all the official seals are called the seal, and set the number of four words, such as the seal of the county commander can only engrave the four words of the county lieutenant seal, the four-character seal has been until the Emperor Wu Dynasty, because the former Han Dynasty to the king of Tude, and the number of soil is five, so the Emperor Wu set the seal for five characters, which is less than five words, add the word "of", or add the word "chapter" under the word "seal" to be sufficient, since then the official seal has changed from four characters to five characters, and the word "seal" has also been called since this period.
After Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, because he changed the five elements of the Han Dynasty to fire, and the number of fires was seven, the chapter of the county governor added two more words, which is the seal of the seven characters of the county that everyone sees now.
"What a tongue-in-cheek Wang Shuzhi! He really wants to take the seal of the captain of one side and let us work for him, Xuangao, you can't promise him no matter what! Looking at the seal of the captain, Chang Feng looked angry: "Let our brothers work hard, and they are not willing to spend their blood, how can there be such a good thing, Xuan Gao, you give me the seal, I will throw it away, whoever loves it wants it, you can't ask for it anyway!" ”
Zang Ba kept thinking about his thoughts, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "People have already left the seal, even if you throw it away, it's useless!" ”
"It's infuriating. Even if we don't give it back to him, it's a big deal that we won't be able to work at that time. There is no such good thing in this world! Wu Dun said angrily.
"Alas!" Zang Ba let out a long sigh and said, "Brothers." You were in the inner tent before, you all heard what I said to Wang Xiu, I can't blame him for this matter, if you want to blame me, you should also blame me, if I wasn't moved by him, how could he leave the seal of the governor of this drama county. ”
Among the four people, three of them were one of them, but Sun Guan stared at Zang Ba tightly with a pair of bright eyes, and only after a while did he smile bitterly and said, "Could it be that Xuangao was really moved by this little Confucian." In order to prove that you really want to fight to the death with the Yuan family? But, Xuan Gao, no one knows your capable brothers, even if there is anyone in the world who doesn't know, he has already been famous all over the world, so why do you need to prove yourself? ”
When the others heard this, they kept nodding their heads, and in the end, they even clamoured with Sun Guan: "Xuan Gao, Sun Lao Er (Sun Guan) is right." With your fame, why do you have to prove yourself? The four of them were very excited, and they also wanted to say that a few of them were unknown, so they agreed ten thousand, but it can be said that Zang Ba is a nameless junior. Isn't that a big joke in the world, and a few people definitely don't agree.
Only when you have fought against real masters can you be judged. I think that after we fought with Guan Hai, the number one general of the Yellow Turban, we thought that we were unrivaled in the world, and even he Lu Bu didn't take it seriously. But that Guan Hai later came to Liu Lan's account, but he only became a small governor. I met him in Kaiyang last time, and when I talked about it, I didn't expect him to be willing, and it wasn't until this moment that I knew that Guan Hai was not because the identity of the Yellow Turban could not be reused, but because his ability could be a tribal governor under Liu Lan's account at best, and there were too many capable people.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun don't talk about it, it's Zhang Jaw, when he was in Jizhou, he was a real power general, and the name of the Euphorbia General was not for nothing, but he was just a miscellaneous general, and he didn't even have real power, you said that I was higher or lower than that jaw? It's no wonder that Lao Kong Rong said that.
Hearing Kong Rong say that Liu Lan is a general, Zang Ba is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he can calm down and think about it carefully, he can gather these people around him and obey his orders, this is not a general, but what about him, don't say that he is a general, even a general, he doesn't dare to be a general, he can always remember the situation of the confrontation with Jiang Qi that day, and the sneak attack was finally beaten by the Jizhou army, plus this person is an inconspicuous small role in the Jizhou army, how can he be compared with the jaw of one of the four pillars...... can know that if he really follows Liu Lan, he is afraid that he will be mixed with the role of Guan Hai at most, and even Guan Hai will not be able to do it.
As soon as he thought of this, the lack of confidence in his heart made him want to prove himself even more, even if he didn't take the article ugly, he would have to make Jiang Qi suffer a lot!
The four of them couldn't persuade Zang Ba to fully support him, after all, they were all old brothers for many years, living and dying together, since he had made up his mind, it was possible to become a deserter for 10,000 dollars, not to mention that among them, Zang Ba was the most brainy, and he had always been the only one who looked forward.
Since Xuangao has made up his mind, then our brother will accompany you to the soup, although Yuan Tan Wenchou is famous, but Xuangao is not an easy person, and he fought with the Jizhou army that day, although the combat power is quite strong, but the Langya army is not a local chicken and tile dog, if it were not for Xuangao's reluctance to fight with the Jizhou soldiers, it was not so easy for the Jizhou army to escape that day.
"Xuan Gao, just say, what should we do now?"
"Simple, let's go straight to Linzi!"
"Straight to Linzi? Wouldn't it be better for us to work at ease in the drama county? ”
Zang Ba didn't explain, but asked Sun Guan instead: "Zhongtai, do you think it's better for us to stay in Xixian County and wait for Wen Chou to attack, or take the initiative to find Yuan Tan's bad luck?" ”
"It was Yuan Tan that day, he is now the chief general of the Jizhou Army, and he is the eldest son of Yuan Shao, and that Wen Chou is just a fierce general under Yuan Shao's account, how can he be compared with Yuan Tan......" Sun Guan said and immediately understood what Zang Ba meant, no wonder Zang Ba insisted on going to the door to find Yuan Tan's bad luck, this is why he wants to become famous in a fight, this is to make a desperate bet, and settle Qingzhou in a war.
"It seems that Zhongtai has figured it out."
"I figured it out, but there are still some doubts, didn't we force the Jizhou Army to fight with us in the past?"
"Will Yuan Tan do it?" Zang Ba was confident, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuan Tan will never fight with us, but Wen Chou!" ”
"This ......" Sun Guan couldn't give an answer, but in his heart he wanted to know what Zang Ba thought.
Zang Ba patiently explained, "I don't know if you've heard of it. That Yuan Shao likes his third son Yuan Shang the most, and this eldest son Yuan Tan has led troops to the battlefield over the years in order to make his father look at him differently. But their father and son are all such dumb boys, and they are flying eagles. On the war is only afraid that even a small subordinate governor is not as good, especially the battle of Jizhou fell into the desert and fled back to Yecheng, I heard that he was almost cut down by Yuan Shao on the spot, you say that it is just such a straw bag, if it is really a desperate time, but it is Wen Chou and other perennial generals who are more decisive, and that Yuan Tan is estimated to have run early. ”
Sun Guan was meaningful and said: "Although what Xuan Gao said is reasonable. But there is one thing that Xuan Gao forgot, this time Yuan Tan entered Qingzhou, it was precisely because of the defeat of Jizhou that he needed to prove his ability like Yuan Shao, otherwise he would have something to fight with Yuan Shang, so I am afraid that Xuan Gao's wishful thinking will be difficult to start. ”
"No, no, no, I just said that Yuan Tan is a timid straw bale. Since the Jizhou army entered Qingzhou, has he ever commanded the battle array? It's just that he hasn't even been to the battlefield, and he has been staying in the plain until after Wen Chou broke through Linzi. Only then did he cross the river and enter Linzi City, and even Wen Chou handed over the right to the army and obeyed his command to attack Beihai County, but he refused. Instead, he found an excuse to say that Beihai was self-defeating, as long as Jiang Qi led his troops to go over and dangle a circle under the city of Drama County, Kong Rong would surrender under the excuse that he would stay in Linzi. Like such a fool, do you think he will fight us to the death? ”
"How did Xuan Gao know about these secret things?" It's only been a few days since they arrived in Xi County. I didn't even understand the situation in Beihai, so Xuan Gao already knew everything about Yuan Tan? I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart, not that I didn't believe his words, but I suspected that Zang Ba had an eyeliner next to Yuan Tan, otherwise how could he know such top-secret information?
"It's Liu Lan."
"Liu Lan?"
"Yes, it's him, in fact, these words were said to me when I went to see him that day, when we were alone, originally I thought it was because he had fought with Yuan Tan, so I understood his heart, but then the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, how could these secret things be discovered after a few battles on the battlefield? It wasn't until Wang Xiu said that Kong Rong said that he was a general, and I woke up to the fact that it was no coincidence that Liu Lan could come to this day. Do you know that what Liu Lan said at that time was called an oath, and even said wildly that if Yuan Tan was not what he said, he could withdraw his troops. ”
"He said something like that?" The four of them are stupid, what kind of confidence is this, if the two of them are old friends for many years, how natural their hearts are, but this is too mysterious, right?
"Yes, so I didn't believe Liu Lan very much from Langya to Qingzhou, but it wasn't until I received the news that Wen Chou led his troops to Beihai that I could be sure, so I would tell you Liu Lan's words!"
"Wen Chou led troops to attack Beihai??" The four of them were confused.
"At this time, Yuan Tan didn't dare to personally bring troops to Beihai, what do you say Yuan Tan is not a cowardly mouse?"
"Yes, yes." The four of them immediately laughed: "Instead of us waiting for Wen Chou, let's take the initiative to find that straw bag!" ”
Zang Ba smiled: "Yes, that's the reason, and at that time in front of Liu Lan, I had exactly the same expression as the few now, but ah I still have concerns, after all, Yuan Tan came to Qingzhou to attack, how could he run away easily, isn't he afraid to go back and cut Yuan Shao?" But guess what Liu Lan said, Liu Lan said that Yuan Shao wanted to kill Yuan Tan the last time, that is, to make a show, how could he kill his own son with his character? I immediately said that these things may be visible to outsiders, but Yuan Tan may not be able to understand, so Yuan Tan may not dare to go back this time, but Liu Lan shook his head and said, no, this time, Yuan Tan will not only not be as hard as in the Battle of Jizhou, but will withdraw and withdraw as soon as there is something wrong, no matter how it is disposed of, as long as it is not the same, as long as he is not the eldest son of Yuan Shao, he still has hope of fighting with Yuan Shang, but once he really dies in Qingzhou, then he will have nothing. Now everyone knows, where is the battle of Jizhou Liu Lan was lucky, picked up a bargain, he calculated the Yuan father and son to this point, you are the battle of Jizhou, can he win! ”
The four of them smiled bitterly, isn't this the reason, Wu Dun suddenly realized something, and subconsciously said: "Xuan Gao, do you say that we are also in Liu Lan's calculations from beginning to end, and we have always been a chess piece in his hands, and it is all up to him?" ”
"......" Zang Ba was speechless, because since the day he promised Liu Lan, such thoughts have appeared in his mind from time to time, but now he is not even sure whether to be a chess piece in the hands of others, or he is not even qualified to be a chess piece.
"It's pointless to think about these now, if we are really a chess piece in Liu Lan's hands, then we are just an outcast, of course, if we can hold out until Liu Lan pacifies Guangling, maybe he will come to protect us, but if it can't be delayed, then our life and death Liu Lan doesn't care at all, we're just cannon fodder to drag the Jizhou army south."
Sun Guan understood that if he wanted to live, he couldn't rely on others now, so he got up and said: "Although Xuan Gao has analyzed Yuan Tan thoroughly, he has forgotten the most difficult one, Wen Chou!" As long as he is there, even if Yuan Tan really runs away, the Jizhou army will not be scattered because the dragons have no leader! ”
"This possibility is not impossible...... Zang Ba smiled lightly, he really forgot to ask Liu Lan at that time, but since he came to Qingzhou and promised Wang Xiu, what if there was no mention from Liu Lan?
On the battlefield, and his real sword and gun competition, who wins and who loses to know, the battlefield is far from the number of troops in the eyes, the right time and place are the factors that may determine the outcome of a victory, he is convinced that as long as in the battle, the Langya army can be killed, will inevitably win the final victory.
At that time, it is not just Yuan Tan who will run, it is likely that there will be Wen Chou, of course, whether he can escape alive is another matter.
And over the years, Zang Ba has experienced countless small battles, what difficult and dangerous situations have not been seen, even when Cao Cao attacked Langya, he still repelled the elite Qingzhou army, which is known as the elite, on the other hand, the Jizhou army, the real elite are dealing with Gongsun Zhan, and the troops who come to Qingzhou cannot be compared with it, when the Langya army goes all out, and the four old brothers around him can not care about the gains and losses of the battle, just like the original battle against the Qingzhou soldiers with the same hatred, not to mention the small Jizhou army, even if it is the elite main force of the Jizhou army, and he is also confident to fight with one.
This is not his blind self-confidence, but the confidence that has been fought over the years of hundreds of battles, not to mention that cowardice before fighting is not his style of Zangba! (To be continued.) )
