Chapter 407: The man who arrived home

"I don't believe it, unless he lets me fly into the sky right now!" Shi Tao was still shaking his head.

Shaking his head or not believing, he looked at his heavy body, can he really fly around in the sky?

Can you really enjoy that feeling of lightness?

"Yes, you can, when we capture Luoyang, after the adults and the big Sima get together, find a day when the wind is stronger, and it will definitely be realized." Zhang Wei hurriedly answered, hoping that this matter would be finalized.

A windy day? Shi Tao felt that Zhang Wei's words meant to joke that he was too fat, so he was unhappy and retorted: "When Zhuge was crazy at the beginning, he said that in a dream, a flying chicken can fly in the sky with many people!" ”

"Oh yes, as long as the wind is strong enough, you can take a lot of people flying. When the time comes, I hope I can fly with adults too! Zhang Wei heard that Shi Tao had a misunderstanding, and hurriedly followed his meaning.

"So where is Zhuge now?" Shi Tao seemed to be a little impatient.

Zhang Wei replied: "Da Sima, his wife and Xiaobao, should be starting from Chengdu and rushing to Luoyang now." ”

It seemed that they were about to launch a general attack on Luoyang, and Shi Tao asked again: "Say, what are your intentions when you sneak to me?" ”

So Zhang Wei and Shi Tao discussed, and Shi Tao deliberately sold a flaw, so that Ji Han soldiers could steal part of the military rations, as for Shi Tao's headquarters, he was not in a hurry to rebel against Cao on the face for the time being, and still stationed in the same place to protect the hoarded food, so as to facilitate the resettlement of the army and civilians after the war.

After discussing it, Zhang Wei got up to say goodbye, and he was busy rushing to other places.

Shi Tao got up to see him off, and before he went out of the gate, someone came to report, saying that Zang Ba was leading the army to rush here, saying that he was ordered to come to meet the enemy general Zhang Wei's department, and he specially told Shi Tao to prepare some military rations.

"yes, I see." Shi Tao nodded lightly, asked the messenger to step back, and quickly pulled Zhang Wei into the room again, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, this Zang Ba is too well-informed, how does he know that you are here with me now?" ”

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and relieved Shi Tao: "It's impossible for Zang Ba to know that I've arrived here. As you know, my army has only just entered the territory of Liang. I rushed over the starry night of the army, and not many of my subordinates even knew about it, and he Zang Ba was still two days away from us, how could he know so clearly, even if someone secretly reported the news, it would be too late in time. ”

Shi Tao thought about it too, and said with a smile: "This is too coincidental." However, since he Zang Ba is ordered to stop you, and he is about to arrive now, you should be careful. ”

"That's not right." Zhang Wei also smiled and said, "I think you should be careful to beware of this Zangba." According to my estimate, Zang Ba is not necessarily ordered to stop us, but may find a reason to go back to Xuzhou, but the road is far away, and he may have to collect some food along the way. ”

"Huh?" Shi Tao's brows furrowed.

After Zang Bawancheng retreated, he led his army to settle in Chenliu, in order to prevent the enemy from making a detour to attack Luoyang from the east, and at the same time to form a horn as Cao Ren's army stationed in Xuchang.

But he couldn't sit still for a long time, and after the Wei army was defeated and withdrew from Wancheng, he felt that he could no longer stay around Luoyang, and he had to go back to Xuzhou as soon as possible.

According to the current situation, Cao Wei can't stop Ji Han's attack at all, he was based on Mount Tai earlier, returned to Tao Qian, Liu Bei came to Liu Bei, Lu Bu came to Lu Bu, Cao Cao came to Cao Cao, let him fight outside the world, he has no damage, and he can take advantage of the situation to grow, and now he is far away from the vicinity of Luoyang, and in the future, Liu Bei will win, and he will not even have the capital to return to Shun.

Zang Ba knew Liu Bei's appeal in Xuzhou back then, and now I heard that many people from all over Xuzhou have raised troops to respond to Liu Bei, if he doesn't go back, in case Xuzhou is occupied by others first, and the little force in his hand is exhausted with the Ji Han army, even if he plans to return to Liu Bei in the future, I am afraid that people will not look down on him, but he will find himself to settle accounts.

No, we have to go back!

Anyway, now Cao Wei's side of the Wenchen generals, there are already a lot of sick and sneaky people, taking advantage of not getting involved in the final battle, to keep a little capital for their future foothold.

As soon as he said go, Zang Ba led his soldiers to leave Chenliu overnight.

In order to prevent the Wei army from obstructing along the way, he always claimed that he had been ordered to come to block Zhang Wei's troops and smash the enemy's conspiracy to surround Luoyang on all sides.

Cao Ren, who was still leading the army to confront Guan Yu in Xuchang City, received an urgent report and hurriedly sent people to chase after him overnight: "At the moment of the great enemy, the general abandoned Chen and left behind, and privately sent out the army to entangle with the enemy's small forces, so that the flanks of the army were empty, wouldn't he put the army in a dangerous place?" ”

It's my! Hit yours, I don't want to play anymore!

Zang Ba retorted: "The enemy's army is afraid of the might of our army and does not dare to approach Chenliu, but it is rampant on the border between Chenjun and Liang. I led the army to attack just to protect the rear of the Xuchang army, how can it be said that I disregard the safety of friendly troops? ”

Afraid of your might? Obviously, they have just retreated from Wancheng, okay? The chasing general persuaded again: "Our army's initial battle was unfavorable, and at the moment it is gathering heavy troops in an attempt to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but the general leads heavy troops out, isn't it against the original intention of the war?" ”

"The enemy is harassing everywhere and constantly sending troops to attack our rear, why can we only passively wait to be beaten?" Zang Ba didn't want to be verbose anymore, and directly lost his heavy words, "Back then, Emperor Wu ran to Wuchaoguan to defeat Yuan Shao, blitzed Xuzhou and Liu Bei, and ran on the trail to force Liu Cong in Jingzhou, why can he only defend passively now?" In addition to blocking the sneak attack, I also had to make a detour to attack the enemy's rear and break the enemy's offensive momentum. Okay, don't talk about it, I attacked this time by the emperor's will, do you want to resist the decree? ”

The Emperor's will? No way? It's far from Luoyang to here, such a big transfer, will the emperor not let the great Sima Cao Ren know?

The chasing general was still scratching his head and didn't figure it out, Zang Ba had already turned his horse's head and led the army to leave quickly.

Rushing to Suiyang, he was in a hurry to find Shi Tao: "Hurry up, we rushed to the rescue overnight, and the grain and grass we brought were insufficient, so hurry up and allocate a batch to me." ”

"Why are you here at this time? It's too late! Just the night before, the enemy attacked our stockpiles and almost ran out of them! Shi Tao looked like he hated iron but not steel.

"Huh? No way? The enemy is not ......" Zang Ba was too surprised, didn't he say that the enemy had just entered the territory of Liang State? They even rushed ahead of me and snatched the food first?

Oh, you also knew that the enemy's army was still far to the south, but you ran to me first to ask for food? Shi Tao felt that Zhang Wei's judgment was correct, but he couldn't break it directly, but instead gave people down the steps: "We have all been deceived by the enemy!" The enemy is bluffing far away from us, but in fact the army has sneaked here overnight and robbed all the food! ”

Zang Ba was still a little unconvinced: "Won't it?" The enemy marched so fast? ”

Shi Tao had no choice but to explain his words a little more clearly: "Since the general thinks that the enemy is still far away to the south and is still a few days away from here, why don't he go to meet the attack, but he is in a hurry to come to me to ask for food?" Since the general is ordered to stop the enemy, he should go directly to the south. However, fortunately, the general got the wrong enemy situation and rushed here first, although it was a little late, but there should still be a chance to catch up with the enemy army and help us get the food back. ”

Help you get the food back? Zang Ba frowned, I don't want to get involved in the fight between the two of them now! After thinking about it, he said to Shi Tao: "You said that the enemy attacked the night before and robbed all the food?" Then let me go and look at the robbed granary, and let me judge what the size of the enemy is? I think it's so dark at night that you might be in a state of confusion and not figure out how many enemies there are. ”

Shi Tao replied angrily: "I am the Tuntian sergeant of less than 2,000, how can I compare with the general's brave army in battle." What about the general? ”

Zang Ba hurriedly shook his head and said: "You are such a smart person, and you have the heavy responsibility of hoarding grain, how can you let the enemy sneak attack succeed in one fell swoop and grab all the food?" ”

It's a combination of hard and soft! Shi Tao replied: "The enemy has just left after grabbing food, whether the general wants to destroy the enemy or food, hurry up and lead the army to catch up." ”

Zang Ba also simply made it clear: "We came overnight, exhausted, we have to eat something to replenish our strength quickly, so we can catch up with the enemy." ”

It seems that he can't send this god away without some food, but fortunately, Shi Tao was also prepared, and deliberately shouted loudly at the moment: "There is only a little bit left in total!" You can't let us grow grain and starve to death without food, right? ”

Haha, it's good to admit that there is food, Zang Ba hurriedly took advantage of the situation: "Let's borrow a little bit first, and when we catch up with the enemy army and snatch the food back, we will return it all to you." ”

Shi Tao was very helpless, so he had to lead Zang Ba to a granary, and repeatedly declared: "This is really the only thing left, you can't empty it all." We have to eat ourselves! ”

Zang Ba happily commanded his troops to carry grain, and joked with Shi Tao: "This grain seems to be new grain, so it was collected, right?" Oops, it seems that Suiyang is indeed a good place in Tuntian. ”

"Of course it's new! This is what the sergeants desperately grabbed yesterday. The old grain has been robbed by the enemy! Shi Tao didn't have a good face.

Most of Zang Ba's nearly 10,000 soldiers came to move, and a granary was quickly emptied.

Zang Ba was still a little unsatisfied: "This is gone?" Can you borrow a little more? ”

Shi Tao was so angry that he wanted to jump up again: "Why did you all move away and leave us at all?" ”

Zang Ba didn't see it: "You are such a smart person, of course it is impossible for others to move all the grain." Hey, really, can you borrow a little more? ”

"Still grabbing? It's really not greedy. These grains are enough for you to go to Xuzhou! Shi Tao blurted out in a hurry.

Zang Ba was suddenly told by Shi Tao that he was in his heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, it turned out that people understood everything, so they were embarrassed to speak again.

"Xuzhou? Are you saying that the enemy stole your grain and ran to Xuzhou? Zang Ba reacted, immediately waved his hand, and shouted to his subordinates, "Soldiers, we must no longer let the enemy rampant plunder, everyone hurry up and get on the horse and pursue the enemy to Xuzhou with all your might!" ”
