"What's the noise? If you really attack Cao Jun in front of Brother Zang's cottage, then you will really hurt Brother Zang. The steady Liao Hua glanced at Pei Yuanshao, and said to Zang Ba with a solemn expression: "Let's listen to Brother Zang Ba first, and then let's discuss countermeasures." ”

"It's a troublesome situation right now." Zang Ba didn't say politely to everyone, and said bluntly: "The actual situation is that Mr. Cheng Yu came first, and then Cao General Xu Huang led the army to Zang Ba Cottage later. It should be that Cao Cao is not very worried about Zang, so he first asked Mr. Cheng Yu to stabilize Zang, and then sent Xu Huang separately, obviously to supervise, but actually to monitor. In this way, Xu Huang can not be restrained by Mr. Cheng Yu, and Mr. Cheng Yu can't do anything about what he wants to do to Zang. Now, Xu Huang has given Zang an ultimatum that he will recruit Taishan's army within three days at the latest to fight against the New Han army. Now, more than a day has passed, that is, the day after tomorrow, it is Xu Huang's final time for Zang, and the time is urgent, which is Zang's dilemma. You must know that if Zang recruits the army of Mount Tai and assembles it, Xu Huang may completely hold Zang's family to blackmail him, so as to seize military power. At that time, the army of Mount Tai may no longer be controlled by Zang. Therefore, everything has to be asked to General Taishi to find a way. If there is really no way, then Zang will not be able to ignore his family, so he can only ......"

When Zang Ba said this, the situation is self-evident.

Tai Shi Ci nodded silently, indicating understanding.

Immediately, Tai Shici asked, "Now, how can Xu Huang help you?" Well, that is. Is he in the camp outside your cottage now, or inside your cottage? ”

"Xu Huang and Mr. Cheng Yu are both in Zang's cottage. However, Mr. Cheng Yu has his 300 personal guards. And Cheng Yu later brought 2,000 soldiers into the cottage. At that time, Zang didn't expect Xu Huang to be so tough, and after he entered the cottage, he took protection as his life and directly surrounded Zang's residence. The meaning of what he did was self-evident, and it was clear that he didn't believe Zang and wanted to use Zang's family to blackmail Zang. ”

"I understand, Brother Zangba, this is not in a hurry in advance. Think about it. There will always be a way. Tai Shi Ci pressed his hand and motioned for the generals to sit down first.

"It's really a bit of a problem." Liao Hua sat down and muttered: "Even if we suddenly send troops to destroy the Cao army outside Brother Zang's cottage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Brother Zang's family in the cottage." This kind of thing, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, once Brother Zang's family has an accident, it will be an extremely sad thing. ”

"But no, if the more than 20,000 Cao soldiers can ensure the safety of Zang's family, then Zang would have sent someone to secretly summon the army to destroy those Cao troops." Zang Mou said with annoyance: "It's all because Zang Mou is too careless, thinking that Cao Cao has not done anything to Zang Mou." He shouldn't be Zang directly. ”

"Brother Zang, how many people are in your family? What about the situation now? Tai Shi Ci pondered for a while, and suddenly asked again.

"There are quite a lot of people, but there are three or four of Zang's mothers and children. Right now. Xu Huang has not allowed my wife and children to leave the residence surrounded by their own soldiers, and as for other close family members, they can come and go freely. After all. I haven't directly torn my face with Zang yet, so. Xu Huang only restricted the freedom of movement of the family members Zang cared about the most. Zang Ba replied.

"If that's the case, then why don't you send your lady and child away from the secret passage, Brother Zang? I believe. In Big Brother Zangba's cottage, there must be a secret way, right? Tai Shi Ci said again.

"Alas, dissatisfied with General Taishi, there is indeed a secret passage in the cottage, but there is a traitor in the village, and he actually told Xu Huang about the exit of the secret passage, and now, the entrance and exit of the secret passage are guarded by Xu Huang's people. In addition, although it is said that Zang cares most about my wife and children, it is impossible for other family members to ignore it, right? Also, once Zang sent his wife and children away from the cottage, wouldn't it be to tell Xu Huang that Zang already had a rebellious heart? When the time comes, the entire cottage people are afraid that they will suffer from Xu Huang's poisonous hands. Zang Ba said helplessly.

"Since this is the case, then there is no other way but to destroy Xu Huang directly!" Tai Shici's eyes flashed, and he said with murderous intent: "There is still time, there is still time, my plan is like this, since Brother Zang has agreed to submit to our New Han Dynasty, then, it will be his own people in the future, and Brother Zang's business is our business." In this way, there is no need to be afraid to turn against Cao Jun and Xu Huang. Now, Brother Zang, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, you recruit your men and horses, and then we will make an appointment to attack Xu Huang in the cottage and Cao Jun's military camp outside the cottage at the same time. ”

"Huh? I'm afraid this won't work, once the fight starts, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the people in the cottage. Zang Ba didn't expect Tai Shici to be so direct, and said in embarrassment: "If there is a real fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ensure the safety of my family." ”

"Hehe, Brother Zang, you don't have to worry about this. After you give the order and gather the horses, the general will return to your cottage with you, and when the time comes, you will secretly gather the men and horses in your fortress to protect your family. Including yourself, you just need to make sure that your home is safe. Leave the rest to General Ben. Tai Shi Ci said with murderous anger in his eyes: "A certain New Han army with three hundred people who came to Mount Tai with me can destroy Xu Huang and Cheng Yu's men and horses in your cottage." As for Cao Jun in the military camp outside the cottage, it will be handed over to Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao. ”

"What's more......" Tai Shici gave Zang Ba a reassuring look and said: "When the time comes, we will attack together inside and outside, Xu Huang will definitely panic if he doesn't know the situation, and when the time comes, I will directly restrain Xu Huang, so that he can't deal with your family." I think, Brother Zang and the people in your village can always protect the safety of his family, right? Are you sure? ”

"Grasp? Zang didn't dare to say it, but as long as Zang was there, Xu Huang wanted to hurt my family, so he had to step over Zang's corpse! Zang Ba said fiercely.

"But ......" Zang Ba still said with a little worry: "General Taishi, you said that with three hundred New Han troops, you can destroy Xu Huang's men and horses in the cottage?" This...... After all. The people and horses that Xu Huang led into the cottage were all his elite soldiers. ”

"We are the New Han Dynasty. It's the elite who kills! Tai Shici waved his hand and said, "Without further ado, you should act immediately." Don't worry about anything else, if you are not sure, I will not do it rashly, after all, this is related to the safety of Brother Zang's family. Do you say yes? ”

"It's not ......" Zang said domineeringly: "I mean that General Taishi can lead more people, there is no need to limit three hundred people, Zang Mou, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, they can all organize one or two thousand elite people." In this way, wouldn't it be more certain to cooperate with General Taishi? ”

"Brother Zang, you are wrong, do you think that under the current situation, if you gather so many people, then Xu Huang will not be suspicious? I'm afraid that he will definitely be highly nervous now. Once there is something to do, I am afraid that he will definitely take down your wife and child directly, and when the time comes, how will we attack? We're going to do it. It's just unexpected, in a situation that Xu Huang didn't expect and was defenseless. One hit worked. Tai Shi Ci said: "I will take three hundred people to follow you into the cottage, then Xu Huang will probably be suspicious." But don't worry too much about it, and don't immediately exercise real control over your family. Let alone. When the time comes, you can say that I and the 300 men and horses I brought with me are the leaders of the various cottages in Mount Tai, and they have come to discuss the matter of sending troops. In this way, Xu Huang's vigilance can be dispelled. ”

"Besides, Brother Zang, didn't you say that you came to see me secretly? You suddenly brought people back, which can also be explained in this way, just say that you are going to gather the leaders of the cottages to your cottage to discuss matters. ”

"This ......" Zang Ba is also a person with a lot of detail, after listening to Tai Shi Ci, he also thought about Tai Shi Ci's plan from beginning to end, and finally felt that the chance of success was quite big, as long as Tai Shi Ci could defeat Xu Huang, and Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao could defeat the Cao army camp outside the cottage.

After thinking about it, he nodded abruptly and said, "It's done!" Although it is still a little unsafe, but under the current situation, this is the only way to get rid of Cao Cao's coercive control. ”

"Well, please rest assured, Brother Zang, you will definitely be able to ensure the safety of your wife and children." Tai Shici is definitely domineering to Zang.

Next, there was still time, Tai Shici immediately called his three hundred personal soldiers, told them some things to pay attention to, and asked everyone to change into the clothes of the thief soldiers in the cottage. Of course, it is better to make them look more like a copycat leader, and deliberately let those soldiers make their outfits more different, at least, at a glance, people will feel that everyone is not an ordinary simple goods, like a leader.

Zang Ba, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao and others also acted separately, and went to gather their trustworthy men and horses, and at the same time, they also had to negotiate how to attack the Cao army camp. Tai Shi Ci also gave some advice from it, so that by the afternoon, everything was ready.

Tai Shici and Zang Ba made an appointment with Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, and after they started inside the cottage, they launched an attack on the Cao army camp outside the cottage. At that time, based on the fireworks signal set off by Tai Shici, together with the fireworks in the cottage, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao will immediately attack, even if they can't attack for a while, they must make the momentum bigger, so that Xu Huang in the cottage can panic.

In the evening, Zang Ba led Tai Shici and three hundred soldiers to slowly return to his cottage in the hinterland of Mount Tai. A cottage with a very dangerous terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Among them, Tai Shici didn't want to meet Cheng Yu and Xu Huang who knew him in advance, so he mixed in with the three hundred personal soldiers.

The cottage is built according to the mountain, stretching to the mountain layer upon layer, all the way, there is only one mountain road spiraling up, among which the checkpoints are heavy, many checkpoints, there are a lot of dangers.

Zang Ba suddenly left the cottage privately for a whole day, without explaining it to Xu Huang and Cheng Yu, so when Zang Ba took Tai Shici and others back to the Juyi Hall above the cottage, Xu Huang and Cheng Yu were waiting. Xu Huang's face was gloomy, but Cheng Yu looked a little complacent, pouring himself tea.

"General Zang Ba, where have you been today? The army of the New Han Army is pressing, and I am afraid that it will soon attack the county town of Taishan, and once Mount Tai is lost, Jinan will be attacked by the army of the New Han Army. I believe that you can hand over such an important area of Mount Tai to General Zang Ba for your independent governance. Now, it's also time to worry about the prime minister. It's been two days, and tomorrow, I think General Zang Ba should be able to send troops, right? Xu Huang had an attitude of scrutinizing Zang Ba, like interrogating Zang Ba.

"General Xu, please rest assured, Zang will definitely be able to send troops tomorrow, as for today, didn't you see it? Zang went to summon the heads of our Taishan cottages to discuss the matter of sending troops. After all, you have to be prepared to gather so many military horses at once, right? If the cottage is so big, it is impossible for the army to come directly to the cottage to assemble, right? And the most important thing is that it has only been winter now, and most of the food stored in the cottage has been eaten, so we also have to discuss the situation of food supply, right? We said how many people and horses there were, how much grain and grass we would have to get at that time, and we had to ask Mr. Cheng and General Xu to report the situation to the prime minister and allocate grain and grass as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if our army arrives in Taishan County, it is impossible to defend Taishan County with a hungry stomach, right? What is the nature of our mountain people, or Zang's people and horses, I think you also know in your hearts that before, they were just some mountain bandits and thieves, who have always been lazy, and they can't afford to be unprofitable. Zang Ba seemed to be spitting bitterness at Xu Huang.

"General Zang doesn't have to worry about grain and grass, it won't take a few days to transfer from Jinan to Taishan." Xu Huang listened to Zang Ba's words that seemed to be extremely uncooperative with him, and he was secretly annoyed, but he didn't have a good seizure for a while, but he didn't doubt the three hundred or so people that Zang Ba brought back.

"That's good, then, can you ask General Xu and Mr. Cheng to move the jade step and give this meeting hall to Zang to discuss some important matters with the leaders? I'm afraid that like General Xu here, it is too majestic, and everyone doesn't dare to speak. ”

"Hmph......" Xu Huang snorted lightly, flicked his long sleeves and turned to leave.

It was Cheng Yu, looking at the people who came into the Juyi Hall with Zang Ba, his eyes flashed, as if he was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything, he arched his hand towards Zang Ba, and also grabbed his teapot Shi Ran and left.

It's all their own, and everyone is relieved.

Tai Shi Ci didn't want to waste time, so he immediately asked Zang Ba to explain the detailed terrain in the cottage, and asked him to find a way to secretly gather his men and horses, and when he was completely ready, he could start acting. (To be continued.) )
