Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Strategist Chen Gui
Yu Ban's face was a little sallow, it seemed that he had thought of this ending a long time ago, the sins he had committed were too serious, I am afraid that Xuzhou would not forgive him!
The house was a little shady, the autumn wind blew on the windows, and the fallen leaves outside the window were scattered everywhere, as if late autumn was coming. Yu Ban lay on the bed and looked up at Xu Sheng, the young Xu Sheng had a majesty on his face that he didn't dare to look at.
"The lord said that I was born to be the general of Xuzhou, did the lord lie to me?"
It seems that he is unwilling to die, and after Yu Ban asked, he shouted to see Tao Ying, otherwise he would not be blind to death! Xu Sheng hurriedly pressed his mouth and said: "Don't make a sound, the lord doesn't want to kill you, let me settle you well, I guess I will reuse you after the limelight." For your safety, you'd better go to the prison with me, you can rest assured, food and shelter will not treat you badly, with my brother guarding the prison door, no one can kill you! ”
Yu Ban nodded hurriedly, and Xu Sheng left in a hurry after explaining a few words. He knew that his glory and wealth were tied to Tao Ying, no matter what Tao Ying asked him to do, even if he was spurned by the entire Xuzhou people, he didn't care.
In the main hall, after Xu Sheng left, in order to ease the atmosphere, Tao Ying hurriedly quipped: "Thanks to Captain Zang Du coming to the rescue today, if my father had sent Captain Zang to come as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Cao Thief would have withdrawn from the army long ago!" ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, all the generals laughed, only Zang Ba said with some embarrassment on his face: "I can't hide it, the reason why I sent troops was not ordered by anyone." ”
As soon as Zang Ba spoke, there was silence in the hall again.
You know how much fear is there for those who hold power and don't listen to orders in this dynasty of strict laws!
"The reason why I sent troops was to persuade Mr. Chen Gui, and he wrote to me that the second son was able to watch the heavens with the help of the gods. I have been in Xuzhou for many years, and Lord Thorn Shi has always refused to reuse, he only reuses people from the family, so I want to come here to ask the second son to count a hexagram for me, and see if I have the opportunity to glorify my ancestors in the future? ”
Of course, Zang Ba didn't just want to ask about his own future, he knew that he was from a poor background and wanted to climb the elites, but those elites were all powerful eyes. Chen Gui wrote a letter to Zang Ba, saying that the second son had promoted him many times in front of Tao Qian, saying that Zang Ba was a usable talent, so Zang Ba wanted Tao Ying to try his luck here.
Zang Ba said, Tao Ying was very disappointed. I didn't expect my father to still refuse to reuse Zang Ba, does a person who can't control his own background have to be unsuccessful in this world? The family clan is able to consolidate their power in Xuzhou, because it seems that everything is controlled by the family clan, they control the land, they control everything.
But he Tao Ying didn't believe in this evil!
He just wants to say to the world, whether they are from humble backgrounds or poor, they are all dignified, at least in the future, on the land under his Tao Ying's jurisdiction, as long as they are talents, Tao Ying will not bury them!
Tao Ying got up and walked to Zang Ba, bowed deeply to Zang Ba and said: "My father is noble, and I often persuade him, but I am soft-spoken, and he has never listened to me. Today's words of Mr. Chen Gui are looking forward to the general today, if the general helps, I will not let anyone slaughter Xuzhou again! ”
Zang Ba was moved for a while and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Childe thinks too highly of me Zang Ba, if Childe is interested, Ba is willing to help Childe!" ”
Tao Ying was also very excited, holding Zang Ba's hand and saying: "If Xuan Gao is willing to help me, I have to Xuan Gao, I Tao Ying will have no regrets in this life!" Tao Ying said very sincerely, he really dreamed of thinking about Zang Ba, there are not many talents in Xuzhou, especially those who can fight like Zang Ba, although there are too many people who are better than Zang Ba in leading the army to fight, but those seem to have nothing to do with him.
Seeing Tao Ying look at himself like this, Zang Ba also knelt on one knee with emotion for a moment and said, "I am willing to be sent by the lord!" ”
After receiving Zang Ba, Tao Ying couldn't stop the joy in his heart, and pulled Zang Ba Tao Ying to look at the soldiers in the hall and shouted: "Today I gathered in Pengcheng with all the soldiers, it is really my Tao Ying's three lives are fortunate, there is an army of Cao thieves in front of the border, and there are families chasing each other, and the soldiers are still not afraid of life and death to attack Pengcheng to capture Xiaopei, and capture the ban."
Today's merits, I will report to Lord Assassin Shi, if he repels the Cao thief one day, he will be rewarded for his merits! Today, I am willing to swear in front of the gods with the soldiers who follow me, I am willing to advance and retreat with you, and I will be prosperous and lose in the future! He will drive away the Cao thief one day, eradicate the chaos of the court and the demons, and we will help the Han family together, and the generals will tear the earth and seal the marquis just around the corner! ”
Tao Ying's impassioned speech instantly inspired the hot hearts of the generals in the hall, and for a while, the sound of cups in the hall was heard one after another, and all the generals shouted: "May I serve death!" ”
Following Tao Ying, it seems that they also see hope, Xuzhou is so afraid of Cao Cao, but Tao Ying led them to defeat strong enemies one by one, and they also regarded Tao Ying as an invincible god of war!
However, Zang Ba is a shrewd person, he didn't want to come to this troubled water, he had long heard that the second son of Picheng was stubborn, but one day Tao Ying's temperament suddenly changed, and his story suddenly spread throughout Xuzhou Mansion, and Zang Ba was also full of curiosity about this legendary figure who suddenly became everyone's talk.
And the second son often recommends himself in front of the Xuzhou Thorn History, in the troubled times, who doesn't want to win a reputation for the glory of the ancestors? Even if he doesn't want to, his soldiers don't want to be mediocre. So after a letter from Chen Gui, Zang Ba finally raised an army and marched to Pengcheng under the thirst of the generals.
When Zang Ba wanted to put his fate on Tao Ying to gamble, there was misfortune in the sky, as soon as he arrived in Pengcheng, he found that Tao Ying's three soldiers and horses were trapped in the forbidden encirclement, Zang Ba found out the news but did not move, and all the generals persuaded him to save him at this time, like sending charcoal in the snow!
But Zang Ba said: "If you save it today, you will definitely offend the powerful." We have the responsibility to defend the land, if we are punished as a crime, if the second son does not help us, who can we vote for? ”
His subordinate Sun Guan replied: "If the assassination is strange, we can go north to vote for Yuan Shao, or go south to vote for Yuan Shu, and we must not vote for Cao Thief!" ”
Zang Ba didn't say anything, and Yin Li said for a long time: "I know the meaning of the lord, according to the soldiers, everything depends on the will of heaven, if the second son really gets the help of the gods, presumably he will not die in battle, let him gamble with Yu Ban, if he wins the strong enemy Yu Ban, it is the will of God to let me wait for him to take refuge, and in the future, if the mixed earth is not in vain, if he is defeated, it is not too late for me to return to Kaiyang!" ”
So Zang Ba did not move until he heard that the second son was killed and Zang Ba wanted to lead the troops back, Sun Guan and others were still unwilling to wait for several hours.
