"Well, General Zang Ba, do you have any doubts, or any requirements, or even any difficulties, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Tai Shi Ci sat with a golden knife and said sincerely to Zang Ba: "No matter what, I believe that General Zang Ba is a reasonable and straightforward person. Therefore, I am not afraid to tell General Zang Ba directly, this time, our New Han Dynasty's use of troops against Cao Cao is the general trend of the world, and the unification of the world is inevitable. If you have any questions or difficulties, we will do our best to answer and solve them for Zang Ba, and there will be no time off. ”

"Okay, actually, Zang can also trust your New Han Army and General Tai Shici." Seeing this, Zang Ba muttered for a while and said: "General Taishi, first of all, I want to know clearly, if Zang Mou leads the army of Mount Tai to submit to the New Han Dynasty, then, how will your New Han Dynasty deal with us?" In addition, will we people in the Taishan region be treated differently by the New Han Dynasty? The people in our Taishan area, even in the entire Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the beer is not good, and everyone in the world regards us as thieves. I wonder how your new Han Dynasty will treat our people in Mount Tai? ”

"Haha, General Zang Ba, you asked these questions well!" Tai Shici laughed, looked at Zang Ba with sincere eyes, and said: "General Zang Ba, originally, these questions of yours should have been discussed with you by my father-in-law. However, now that Taifu Liu Yi is still in Luoyang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop to meet the general for the time being. However, General Ben can now tell the General the answers to these questions very clearly. ”

"Zang listens!" Zang Ba said solemnly.

"First of all, first question." Tai Shi Ci said: "Our New Han Dynasty has always been lenient towards the military horses who surrendered. Sometimes. Don't say that those who surrender, even the enemy soldiers we captured. The same is done with leniency. Even, he was classified as a prisoner of labor by our New Han Dynasty. We in the New Han Dynasty did not take them seriously as servitude, we will give them a certain amount of personal freedom and rights, and after making a certain contribution to our New Han Dynasty, we will also completely return their freedom and remove slavery. Generally speaking, depending on the situation, we will reorganize the military horses of Toucheng, and then send people to come for training, and then after that. It will become the regular combat unit of our New Han Army. Well, I don't know General Zang Ba, how many centaurs do you have on hand? ”

"About 200,000 horses." Zang Ba said without thinking.

"Hmm......" Tai Shici nodded, as if he was thinking about it, and said, "General Zang Ba, these 200,000 horses of yours are probably the largest people you can recruit General Zang Ba, right?" Among them, it is estimated that there will be some old, weak, sick and disabled. Is that so? ”

"Ahem...... This, haha. Our Taishan military horses, naturally, are counted as those who can fight, and we don't hide it from General Taishi, Zang can recruit people and horses. Most of them are bandits in the mountains, and they usually have their own territory to work on, as long as Zang gives an order. They will move out and come to answer orders. Zang Ba did not hide the situation. Ming said.

"So, let me tell General Zang Ba like this." Tai Shi Ci said: "General Zang Ba." After you surrender to the New Han Dynasty, you don't want to be a general, you don't want to stay in Mount Tai for the rest of your life, right? A man's husband should serve the country, make meritorious contributions, and glorify his ancestors. Therefore, your military horse will be your headquarters military horse in the future, and it will inevitably go out with General Zang Ba. Therefore, General Zang Ba, your military horses must be the most elite military horses, and those old, weak, sick and disabled must be eliminated. In addition, General Zang Ba, you can't bring the people of the entire Taishan region outside to fight the world, right? Some only children, as well as young people who have to support their family life, must also stay. In this way, after deducting seven and deducting eight, will General Zang Ba be able to form two integrated divisions, that is, an elite division with a total of 50,000 horses? Therefore, I can promise that General Zang Ba's Taishan military horses can be reorganized into the two armies of the New Han Army and included in the official order of the New Han Army. If General Zang Ba wants more establishment, it depends on what our lord wants. Of course, if necessary, all the armies and horses of our New Han Army will be transferred to General Zang Ba under your command. In this way, did General Zang Ba make it clear? ”

"Two armies? 50,000 horses? Zang Ba's face twitched, and he seemed to feel that Tai Shici was just a little too little for the establishment of the two armies.

Of course, this can't blame Zang Ba for having such thoughts. After all, he is used to being the king of the mountain, and he consciously feels that the more people there are, the stronger the soldiers. Besides, he verbally submitted to Cao Cao at the beginning, and Cao Cao did not use his sword against his Taishan military horses, allowing him to develop freely. Now, if you return to the New Han Dynasty, the first thing is equivalent to using a knife on your own military horse, which makes Zang Ba's heart a little unhappy.

Tai Shici was naturally observing Zang Ba's expression, and seeing that Zang Ba seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his statement, he couldn't help but smile and said: "General Zang Ba, in your heart, do you think that you only give you the establishment of two armies, and let you go from the original general of 200,000 military horses to only command 50,000 horses in the end, which makes you feel a little downgraded?" Hehe, actually, it's General Zang Ba that you don't know enough about our New Han Army. ”

"Oh? What does this say? Zang Ba was a little unimpressed by Tai Shici's statement, and asked unnaturally.

"General Zang Ba, do you think that now our Xinhan soldiers are numerous, and when we fight, we all win by numbers? If General Zang Ba thinks so, he is wrong. Tai Shici waved his hand and said: "To tell you the truth, our New Han Army, since the time of its formation, has adhered to the loyalty of soldiers who are not expensive. In the past ten years, every time we go to war, our Xinhan army has actually won more with less, and rarely uses a large number of superior forces to attack the enemy. Moreover, our way of fighting has always required our armies, no matter what kind of battle, must achieve the final victory with the least casualties. So far, in every war of our New Han Army, the final casualty cost is very low, and in many cases, even zero casualties. Let's put it this way, maybe you don't believe General Zang Ba, and if you say it, it may hit General Zang Ba's confidence. You have 200,000 Taishan troops and horses, and I, Tai Shici, only dispatched 50,000 horses, and I am completely sure to defeat you. Even, if you have to go through and then select the elite soldiers among the elite from several armies. It only takes one army to defeat you. Or, you Tarzan horses. I am very familiar with the topography of the Taishan area, and. You people who have been mixing in the mountains all the year round will have your own set of battles, but even so, I can lead an army into your Mount Tai, just an army of more than 20,000 people, you can be smashed upside down, General Zangba, do you believe it or not? ”

What Tai Shici said is by no means a lie. Taishan bandits, good at fighting in the mountains and forests. However, the New Han Army had long been trained specifically for mountain and forest operations. The mountain and forest combat horses of the New Han Army entered Mount Tai, and they could indeed defeat Zang Ba. After all, Mount Tai is so big, it is impossible for Zang Ba to gather an army in the mountains to fight a decisive battle with the New Han Army, and there are more opportunities for the New Han Army to break them one by one. What's more, isn't there Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, who are also active in the Taishan area, to assist?

"I respect General Zang Ba's personality too much. knows that General Zang Ba is a good man. That's why General Ben is willing to talk so much to General Zang Ba. I can guarantee that General Zang Ba finally selected 50,000 military horses. Its combat effectiveness will definitely not be worse than that of a ragtag army of 200,000. It's not like telling General Zang Ba that the two generals Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, their men and horses in Mount Tai should also be more than 100,000 people, right? But they can only be integrated into an army. This one. You can confirm it to Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao. ”

Whether Zang Ba believes it or not is a matter of time, but when he came to see Tai Shici this time, he actually had a plan in his heart. Over the years. I really yearn for the new Han Dynasty. The matter of military horses, although a little pimple. But it will not make Zang Ba completely veto the matter of returning to the New Han Dynasty.

He looked at Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, and saw that the two generals nodded to indicate that what Tai Shici said was true. He nodded silently, indicating that he had tacitly agreed to the plan for the reorganization of military horses that Tai Shici told him.

Seeing this, Tai Shici continued: "Secondly, for General Zang Ba's worries, it is unnecessary, after General Zang Ba submits to our New Han Dynasty, then there should be no forces against our New Han Dynasty in the entire Taishan region. When the time comes, the government of our new Han Dynasty will directly send people into the mountains to open official offices and directly govern the people in the Taishan area. That is to say, we will regard the people in the Taishan area as the same as the people in any part of the outside world, and we will definitely not regard the people in the Taishan area as thieves. In the future, the people in the Taishan area can go outside at will, and the people outside can also enter Mount Tai at will. Well, I have heard Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao talk about the current situation in Taishan, and I also know the difficulties in the development of people in your Taishan area. But these will not be a problem in the future, and when the time comes, you will no longer have to go through the relationship between Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao to trade with outside traders, and you can trade freely and independently. In the future, the people of your Taishan area will only get better and better. ”

"Well, I hope so......" Zang Ba was quite satisfied with Tai Shici's answers.

"Well, General Ben added a little more." Tai Shi Ci thought for a while and said: "Actually, this will involve the governance of the Taishan region. Strictly speaking, in the future, every cottage of mountain bandits must be banned, that is, there will be no more robbers in Taishan in the future. The people in the mountains can no longer gather in the mountains and forests for no reason. This is just to facilitate the governance of our new Han Dynasty government, the so-called state has national laws, and families have family rules. In our new Han Dynasty, the people of Mount Tai are regarded as equal Han people, so the people of Mount Tai naturally have to obey the governance of our government, right? Of course, if our government is too dark and oppresses the people of Mount Tai, then if you rise up to resist and kill the officers and soldiers of the government, then only those officers and soldiers deserve to blame, and I Tai Shi Ci will also say that it is good to kill, and even, I will personally take action to kill those corrupt officials and bad officials who harm the people. ”

"Good! Well, there is no big problem with Zang. As long as General Taishi can do what he says, I Zang will not say a word, and only Taifu Liu Yi's order will be obeyed in the future. Zang Ba said.

"Okay, Brother Zang is quick to talk, here, on behalf of my lord and the New Han Dynasty, Taishi Ziyi welcomes and admires Brother Zangba's surrender!"

"Don't dare to be!" Zang Ba stood up, bowed to Tai Shi Ci, then gritted his teeth and said, "General Tai Shi, in this way, we will be a family in the future, so the family will not speak two words." For now, Zang still has a difficulty. ”

"Please!" Tai Shi Ci said firmly.

"General Taishi didn't know that before Zang, nominally, he was indeed submissive to Cao Cao, and nominally, he had to be controlled by Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao sent people to contact Zang from time to time, and Zang couldn't avoid it, right? The day before yesterday, Cao Cao sent Mr. Cheng Yu, who had an old relationship with Zang, to come, and he was still in Zang's cottage, and the purpose of his visit was to urge Zang to defend Mount Tai for him, and send the army of Mount Tai to enter the county town of Mount Tai to block the army of your new Han army from the west of the Yellow River port. Zang Ba said with a difficult face: "Mr. Cheng Yu is kind to Zang, and I naturally don't want to embarrass Mr. Cheng Yu." Before, Zang was nominally Cao Cao's subordinate, but now, he is his own master......"

"Mr. Cheng Yu? Taishi Ziyi has also seen him, he is a knowledgeable gentleman, and I admire him quite a lot. In this case, General Zang Ba, you might as well tell him directly that you have the heart to submit to our New Han Dynasty and do not want to be the enemy of our New Han Army, and then choose to send him away, what is the difficulty? Tai Shi Ci said.

"Hehe......" Zang Ba spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "If it's just Mr. Cheng Yu, it's easy to deal with, after all, Mr. Cheng Yu is a wise and open-minded person, but the people who come with Mr. Cheng Yu are not so easy to dismiss." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Cao Cao's general Xu Huang, he led an elite army of horses, about 20,000 people, and is now stationed in front of Zang's cottage, the purpose of which is to monitor and supervise Zang's army to enter Taishan County." Zang Ba said to Pei Yuanshao: "When Brother Pei Yuanshao went to invite me, I believe I also saw that in front of Zang's cottage, there was a Cao Cao's military horse. In fact, Zang sneaked out of the village this time to see General Tai Shici. After a while, Zang had to hurry back. ”

"Zang's wife and family are still in the cottage, so I'm afraid that Xu Huang and I will turn against each other and harm Zang's family." Zang Mou said the concerns in his heart.

"What? Now that Cao Jiang is in Brother Zang's cottage? Damn, actually, we already knew that a Cao army was coming, but I thought it was caused by Brother Zang, but I didn't expect that I wanted to harm Brother Zang. General Taishi, give the order, let's kill the past and destroy this Cao army! Pei Yuanshao immediately shouted anxiously. (To be continued.) )
