Chapter 620: Zang Ba's Surrender to Cheng The Battle of the Western Regions

In the distance, looking at the Han army like chopping melons and vegetables to drive tens of thousands of thieves to kill, a group of more than 1,000 thieves, all of them were terrified, and at the same time secretly sighed that their own Qu Shuai had a good vision and military skills, saw the situation clearly, and did not promise other Taishan thieves to join forces with them to fight against the Han, otherwise now they are estimated to be the souls of the Han army.

"Brother is smart, the Han army is powerful, and it is not our enemy!"

In front of the gang of thieves, a thin-looking young man wearing slightly tattered armor admired a burly young man beside him and said, this thin young man is called Sun Guan, and the burly young man he admires is called Zang Ba.

They are also Taishan's gangsters, but they are the only thieves who have not joined the thieves' alliance, the reason is naturally not because they are small in number, don't look at them compared to those thieves who are as few as thousands, and as many as tens of thousands, the number is very small, but compared to the level of elite combat power, this thief can throw them a few streets.

The reason why this is so is because the leaders of this gang of thieves are not ordinary people, they all have the ability to train soldiers, and they are completely different from those chaotic thieves. And these generals, in addition to Zang Ba and Sun Guan just now, there are also Sun Guan's brother Sun Kang, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Feng and others, they all have the ability to train and govern the army, if the weapons and equipment are in place, the thieves under their command are compared with the ordinary Han army soldiers or private soldiers of the Hao family, in fact, there is not much difference in combat power.

Of course, among the few of them, if they only know the ability to train soldiers and govern the army, it is nothing, after all, at best, the soldiers under their command are very elite among the Taishan thieves, if other Taishan thieves join forces to kill them, then there will be no place for Zang Ba's gang of thieves.

However, on the contrary, in the Taishan group of thieves, although the power of Zang Ba's group is not large, but it is an existence that cannot be ignored, the reason is because Zang Ba is quite proficient in military affairs, often with a small number of elite soldiers under his command, and other thieves who covet their strength are looking for teeth all over the place, and they dare not make mistakes, what other thoughts, even when they encounter careless officials and soldiers, they can also seize the opportunity to defeat the official army, because whether it is the official army or other Taishan thieves, they can not ignore them.

Just like this time the Taishan thieves were preparing to join forces to deal with the menacing Han army led by Fu De and Lu Yi, Zang Ba vetoed it at the first time, and bluntly said that he would fight against the Han army and take his own ideas, which aroused the opposition of Sun Guan and others at first, but because of Zang Ba's prestige, it was temporarily suppressed. However, to this day, when Sun Guan and others saw that the Han army was like chopping melons and vegetables, beating those thieves to death, they naturally believed it, after all, even if they dealt with the Han army, it was impossible for them to resist the attack of the Han army in the face of the Han army with better equipment and combat power than them.

Seeing that the battle situation had been decided, Zang Ba looked at the prestige of the Han army, and then nodded: "If the thieves defend against the Han Dynasty, they will be defeated. ”

With Zang Ba's words, Sun Guan and the few people present looked at each other a few times, and responded together: "We are willing to go with my brother." ”

The Han Dynasty is unstoppable, rather than resisting to the death, it is better to surrender early, and even if they resist, with the general trend of the Han army just now, they will not be able to resist the Han army, it is better to surrender early now, and it can also be exchanged for wealth and glory, right?

When everyone agreed, Zang Ba nodded again and said: "The general trend is in the Han, guarding Mount Tai, wandering all over the world, there will be no peace, if we descend to the Han today, we will also have a home." ”

"Brother is clever, what he says is extremely true!" After hearing this, Sun Guan and the others also nodded and agreed, indeed, the days when the thieves hid in Tibet should be over, and they could resist the ordinary Han army before, but now, this elite of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves who had just been transferred from Jizhou to pacify the Taiping Road was obviously not something they could deal with.

Seeing that no one refuted, Zang Ba felt a little relieved, he was not very confident in letting Sun Guan and the others surrender with him, after all, these people are all thieves these days, and they are used to being outlaws, if they are not used to the constraints of the court, it will be difficult to do.

It's just that, no matter what, as far as Zang Ba is concerned, he doesn't want to continue to be a thief. If it weren't for the change in his family, he would have become a thief now in order to fulfill his filial piety, otherwise, in his heart, he still wanted to promote filial piety and become an official and revitalize the family.

Zang Ba is a native of Huaxian County, Taishan County, and his family is actually a well-known figure in the county. When Zang Jie was eighteen years old when Zang Ba was eighteen, he had already served as the county jailer because of his family's power in the county, and it stands to reason that if he acted honestly and obediently, there would be no major incident, but because Zang Jie adhered to his own duties, obeyed the law, and did not obey Taishou's orders, and changed the prisoner who should have been sentenced to death to other punishments, so in the end Zang Jie chose to kill the prisoner privately.

After this incident, Taishou was furious when he knew about it, and asked Zang to be taken into custody and sent to the county office for punishment. When Zang Ba learned that his father was imprisoned, in order not to let his father suffer, under a filial piety, he gathered more than a dozen diners at home to go to Xishan in Fei County, and rescued Zang Jie, who was escorted halfway, and took advantage of the situation to kill the Taishou who was not clear.

However, although Fuquan was rescued, it also means that Zang Ba and Zang Jie will not have a good serious identity, and after that, the two of them took refuge in Donghai County in order to escape to the government's wanted government, and after this incident, Zang Ba's deeds in the name of filial piety and courage were also heard all over the countryside, which also made him and Zang Jie flee when the two fled, many people took the initiative to shelter them because of Zang Ba's filial piety. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be difficult to escape the wanted government by simply fleeing to Donghai County next to Taishan County, however, Zang Ba can, and naturally he can't escape the help and protection of others.

Later, with the Taiping Road incident, Zang Ba had a premonition that the world would be chaotic, so he wanted to make a profit from it, so he used his filial piety and courage in the mountains of Mount Tai to gather people and fall into the grass, Sun Kang, Sun Guan and others were also at this time, heard the name of Zang Ba to come to defect.

Of course, Zang Ba fell into the grass, in fact, he wanted to accumulate his own strength, so as to sell it for a good price, he knew that in today's situation, with the elimination of the main force of the Taiping Dao that would threaten the foundation of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court would definitely accept the recruitment of thieves from all over the country in order to avoid unnecessary losses, and Zang Ba's opportunity was naturally here.

This is also the reason why Zang Ba sternly rejected other thieves who wanted to join forces against the Han army, and even Zang Ba used his prestige as a thief under his command to suppress their traitorous thoughts, because, from the very beginning, Zang Ba established this thief not for the purpose of overthrowing the Han family and being at ease, he actually wanted to use it as a step to advance.

For Zang Ba, who is not from a poor family, if it weren't for his father's accident, he wouldn't be lucky at the moment, and he was raised by the county to be filial piety and prosperous. Even if you are unlucky, it is estimated that you can rely on your family relationship to mix the identity of a county official or county official in the county or county, and when the time comes, and then accept the recruitment of high-ranking officials in the court, it is better than doing this thief who will only hide in Tibet all day long, afraid of encountering a large number of Han Dynasty officials and soldiers, and fleeing in all directions.

Therefore, in his heart, Zang Ba actually wants to accept the court's recruitment, because only in this way can he become a leader in another way. It's just that for a long time, Zang Ba has been suffering from no chance, or no Han Dynasty thief master who has weight in the court, so Zang Ba has never wanted to lead people to be good, but uses his elite to deal with him.

But now it is different, the chief general of the Han army, Fu De, is a prince, his father is the captain of Jiuqing of the dynasty, his mother is the eldest daughter of the first emperor, and his brother is a famous general of the dynasty, Liangzhou Assassin History, this family background is enough to make Zang Ba tempted, and he wants to take the initiative to surrender and take refuge. In Zang Ba's opinion, even Sun Kang, Sun Guan and others also took a somewhat fancy to the family background of Fu De, the chief general of the Han army, coupled with the strength of the Han army, so they asked to surrender.

At some point, Zang Ba even wanted to go to his now-reclusive father, Zang Jie, and join Fude together, but in the end he canceled this plan. After all, after the two of them died in the East China Sea, with Zang Ba falling into the grass, Zang Jie scolded Zang Ba well, saying that he did not abide by the law of the Han Dynasty and was a thief privately, and Zang Jie, who had never liked others to interfere in the law, explained at that time that he would not fall into the grass with Zang Ba, and now thinking that he was about to become an official Han army, Zang Ba was very excited no matter what he thought.

Ambition and self-motivation, everyone has it, this time, whatever he says, Zang Ba has to take back everything he has heard, instead of cowering in this Taishan and being a thief who can't see the future, this is never his ambition.

In order to show his sincerity, this time he surrendered, and it was Zang Ba who took Sun Kang, Sun Li and others, without any soldiers, and took the initiative to enter the Han camp to return to Shun and take refuge. When Zang Ba and them arrived outside the Han army camp, Fu De was still immersed in the great military exploits built for him by Ju Yi, and when he knew that there was a rebel leader who wanted to take the initiative to surrender, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to recruit them into the middle tent to receive them.

However, he was stopped by Koji Yi, who did not know his intentions and ordered Fude to prepare and meet again, which was agreed by several of Fude's advisers. At that moment, Fu De ordered the soldiers to be under martial law, just in case of accidents, and then recruited Zang Ba and others into the camp.

However, it was said that Zang Ba and the others entered the camp, and with a respectful attitude, they had already made Fu De, Li Yi and others understand that they were sincere and sincere, and they were overjoyed at the moment, and after enthusiastically praising a few people, they were organized into the command and formed an army alone.

Of course, at the beginning, Fu De, Koi Yi and others obviously did not take Zang Ba and these active defectors to heart and did not reuse them. If Fu Quan is here, he will definitely have to perform a scene of talent, but Fu De and the others obviously do not know the history of later generations as Fu Quan, and everything has to wait until some time in the future to make them shine completely.

The general trend is a very illusory thing, it seems to be out of reach, but it really exists, just like Zang Ba can see clearly that the world is in the Han Dynasty, whether it is the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth Thief or the Taishan Qunkou, in front of the Han Army, it is the same as the grasshopper shaking the tree, this is the general trend, and the Han Dynasty has subdued the world with momentum since the Taiping Road Incident, even if there are moth thieves in various places, but it is no longer a matter of worry.

Zang Ba, who has seen the situation clearly before the Han army here, is far away in Liangzhou, and has already fought against several rebel coalitions with the Liangzhou Han army under Fuquan, and there are also some people who can see the general trend of the world today.

Among those people, there are Han Sui, Koji Sheng, and Cheng Gongying...... Anyone who has understood that after the Han army has won a series of victories against the rebels, they have changed the rebels from the original disadvantages to many advantages, and they understand that unless there is a miracle, the rebels have no hope of victory in the face of the Liangzhou Han army, which now has the rich Central Plains of the Han Dynasty as its backing.

Liangzhou is bitterly cold, don't look at the rebels basically occupied half of Liangzhou, but far away in the west Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties, the population is actually not much, these counties are often because of the lack of population, three or four years can only be allocated a filial piety quota, it can be seen that the population is at least. Therefore, even if the rebels now occupy and control them, there are still too few to replenish the rebels, and the majority of the rebels still come from Jincheng County and Wuwei County, where the Han army is located.

The second county is located in the middle of Liangzhou, and the population is not as good as that of Hanyang, Anding and other places in the east of Liangzhou, but it can also supply tens of thousands of rebels in front of it, so that the rebels who are not engaged in production can repeatedly fight against the Han army. Now, Jincheng County was attacked by Fuquan into Yunwu County, and Wuwei County was also led by Guan Yu's Han army's partial cavalry, and the chaos of the city was a pot of porridge, which had fundamentally weakened the strength of the rebels, and if the rebels wanted to turn defeat into victory, they had to find other ways to survive the crisis, otherwise it would only be a way for them to destroy.

However, Han Sui and the others understood the general trend, and after some discussion, they decided to agree with Han Sui's suggestion, withdraw from Liangzhou, and attack the prosperous Western Regions, hoping to obtain a rich area to use as their logistics base, and then wait for the world to change, and then enter Liangzhou.

After all kinds of considerations, the Western Regions have become their first choice, after all, the reason why the Huns, who rose and expanded in the former Han Dynasty, have been not engaged in production, but there is no shortage of logistics, among them, there is a great contribution to the squeeze of the Western Regions. Moreover, before the land Silk Road was not broken, everyone knew the wealth of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions was definitely not far away from many Liangzhou people present.

It's just that there are pros and there are opposition, Han Sui and they want to change the junior high school, but some people still insist, counting on the so-called hatred of the Han people, to mourn the victory of the army, and kill the Han army, which is not too many for them now, and then kill into Sanfu and attack Chang'an Luoyang.

These people have always had the spirit of adventure in their bones, and since the beginning of this dynasty, they have only understood the general trend when they have been completely exhausted. Now, they have not yet realized the mood of their ancestors who descended to the Han Dynasty as a people, and they are still looking forward to the glory of their ancestors in the past, hoping to fulfill the unfulfilled dreams of their ancestors.

That's right, these people are among the rebels, the Qiang people from all over Liangzhou, especially the Wuge Haojian led by them, most of them are disgusted to go to the Western Regions, even if they know that the Western Regions may be better than the Northwest, but they still don't go. In addition to the inconsistency between this and their original intentions, the bigger reason is naturally that their wives and children are all in Liangzhou, and some are even in the hands of people with ulterior motives, ready to send them to the Han army and report their lives, so they want to leave, but they can't leave at all.
