-----------------------
Zang Ba looked at Tian Fan for a long time and said, "Mr. Tian, I understand what you mean!" But is there only one General Liu in the world who is the master? ”
Tian Fan laughed, pointed at Zang Ba and said, "Why does General Xuangao bother me? There are so many princes in the world, if nothing else, let's just talk about a few people who border you. Haha, how many people did Cao Mengde kill in Xuzhou last year and the year before last? I'm afraid that many people in your hometown Taishan County have been killed, right? Have any of your relatives been killed? Your father was convicted of unlawful murder for refusing to help Taishan Taishou, and if he had learned that you had taken refuge in Cao Mengde, he would not have died of anger? I heard that the general is a dutiful person, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to save his father! Then Lu Fengxian, do you think he is a person who can be the master? I can't listen to the opinions of my ministers, I am stubborn and self-serving, I don't know people, and I can only use people! Is he the master? Sooner or later, you will be defeated! Kong Beihai Hongru, if it is in the peaceful and prosperous era, he is a master of success, but unfortunately it is a troubled time now...... You can't see it! Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway brothers, one is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and he is most afraid that his subordinates will surpass him, and the other is stubborn and self-serving, and he has no knowledge of people. Thou art a man of courage and resourcefulness, under them...... What is the future to talk about? You don't look down on their brothers! As for the other princes, even if you like it, you can't reach it! Say, "Who will you not turn to my lord in a referendum?"
My lord Liu Xuande, a relative of the Han royal family, is the current imperial uncle, who has long been known for benevolence, can listen to the advice of his subordinates, and can make the best use of his talents! And there is the ambition to calm the world, and there is also the ability to rule the world! Don't you look at the counties of Xuzhou, how long has it been under his rule to change? I'm afraid that your Langya country has also taken a big advantage, right? If you don't take refuge in such a lord, who do you want to take refuge in? ”
After that, he smiled and continued: "General, I know what you mean! My lord is now the general of the left, and I can appoint you as a partial general, and after you make meritorious deeds, you will have a reward! All of you in the hall are generals of one side, and they can all be lieutenants or captains, or they can be guarded by one side. …… I wonder if the general has thought about it? ”
Liu Bei is now the general of Zuo and can freely appoint his generals, and now Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have been promoted to partial generals first. Tian Fan and Chen Deng have also been upgraded, both are Zhonglang generals, the difference is that Chen Deng is a Tuntian Zhonglang general, and Tian Fan is a craftsman Zhonglang general. This official position, which was not available before, was set up by Tian Fan at the request of Liu Bei.
Tian Fan said, looked at Zang Ba with a smile, I don't believe that such good conditions are offered, you are not impressed!
Zang Ba is a very assertive person, in history, although he has followed Tao Qian and Lu Bu, he has always been in a state of dissociation in these two systems. It is better to say that he has worked with these two people before. Although he later took refuge in Cao Cao, he was still in that semi-free state. At that time, Cao Cao was already very powerful, he had welcomed back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, occupied the name of righteousness, and occupied the entire territory of Yanzhou and most of Yuzhou, as well as the Sili region, to say that it was enough to be bullish, and he should have the strength to annex Zang Ba and his gang, but Cao Cao cut the two states of Qing and Xu to Zang Ba and Sun Guan and other self-control. Even later, Cao Cao got rid of his biggest enemy, Yuan Shao, and still tolerated Zang Ba's state. Maybe they had reached some agreement in private, maybe Zang Ba had a certain deterrent effect on Cao Cao, maybe the Qingxu and Xu prefectures were in tatters, Cao Cao didn't care much, and Tian Fan didn't know why. And the reason why Zang Ba wants to maintain that state may be that he is very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's slaughter of the city at every turn.
And now Zang Ba, Tian Fan generally knows his thoughts. He is definitely inclined to Liu Bei, and now the forces around him are not too successful, so Liu Bei is okay, he has the reputation of righteousness, and his overall strength is stronger than Cao Cao, and everyone else can't look down on him! The reason why he didn't move was nothing more than to stretch and get more benefits, that is to say, he wanted to get a higher position. This was understandable in those days, it was what most people thought. Tian Fan is not afraid that he will put forward conditions, but he is afraid that he will not let go. …,
Zang Ba wants to stretch it, but Tian Fan doesn't want to play with him, how good is it to go home to accompany his parents and daughter-in-law? How can I have the time to toss with you? Now Tian Fan is gambling, and the bet is that Zang Ba doesn't want to wait any longer. On the one hand, if you want to take refuge in a person, it is still impressive when you send charcoal in the snow, and what Liu Bei lacks now is that he is a general who can fight on the horse and calm the people when he gets off the horse, and he can take refuge in the past at this time, and he can be more valued! On the other hand, Tian Fan knew that his situation was not good, the army's food was running out, and the new food was ...... It's just sprouting!
Zang Ba stretched for a while, but in the end he didn't hold back, he lowered his head, bowed deeply to Tian Fan, and said, "Mr. Tian, Zang has been taught!" Zang is willing to go to Xiapi with Mr. to ask the lord for guilt in person! ”
Tian Fan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Hehe, what is the crime of Xuan Gao?" Anyone who believes that the lord will be happy to be unable to sleep for three days when he learns that Xuan Gao is sincerely coming to vote! ”
Jian Yong wiped a handful of sweat, and said in his heart that he would never go out with Tian Fan next time, this Tian Boguang is really bold enough!
Several generals under Zang Ba saw that Zang Ba had made up his mind, so they were relieved! They have discussed this matter many times, and this result is expected by everyone.
Everyone sat down again, Tian Fan called Chen Zhi in, everyone talked while eating, considering that Tian Fan and his party had a long journey, and finally agreed that three days later, Sun Guan and Sun Kang brothers would guard the city, and the others would follow Tian Fan to return to Xiapi to meet the lord.
Zhang Fei is a straight person, and he is happy to see that things have been done! Shouting and fighting with Zang Ba and others, Zang Ba had an intention to make friends with Zhang Fei, the two fought each other, and Zang Ba fell gloriously! Zhang Fei shouted to continue to fight with others, Sun Guan and the others were all rectal people, and when they saw Zhang Fei's appearance, they also liked it, so everyone was heroic. Tian Fan had no interest in drinking, and even less in fighting wine, he and Jian Yong, the two literati, toasted each other a glass of wine, and then stopped drinking more. The two of them had a drink with Sun Kang, who was partial to Wenchen in Zang Ba's hands, and chatted about the future while watching several generals fight wine.
That night, Tian Fan was in the room. He drank a little too much, although he didn't dare to drink more, but he was shallow, and he was still a little uncomfortable. Half lying on the couch, under Xiaoqing's service, drinking water. Xiaoqing complained: "Childe, don't drink so much if you drink too much!" ”
Tian Fan said: "You think I'm willing, but the other party has just surrendered, how can I not drink like words?" ”
Xiaoqing didn't say this question again, she said: "Childe, there is a sentence, Xiaoqing doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”
Tian Fan smiled, and he said, "Hehe, Xiaoqing, you can say it if you want to!" You don't have to be polite with your son! ”
Hui'er interjected: "That's it, Xiaoqing, you don't know who Childe is?" Say what you have to say! You're welcome! Tian Fan glared at her, and Hui'er reciprocated with a charming smile.
Xiaoqing grinned and said, "Hehe, Childe really doesn't have the consciousness of being a superior, it's too easy-going!" ”
Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said to the two girls: "According to what you say, do you like me to be strict?" Well, good! Tian Fan lowered his face and said to Hui'er: "Hui'er, go!" Get me some footwater! Hui'er burst out laughing, and Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh!
Tian Fan waved his hand and said, "Look, I speak majesticly, you just behave!" What a disappointment for me! ”
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Childe, hehe, what did you do just now...... Hee-hee! ”
"Alright, don't talk about that! Didn't you say you had something to say? ”
Xiaoqing nodded, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said solemnly: "Childe, today in the hall, when General Zang and the others decided to surrender, I found that the person named Chang Feng had a little flickering eyes!" I think he might have something else in mind! ”…,
After hearing this, Tian Fan suddenly sat up and asked, "Xiaoqing, are you sure?" This is no joke! Xiaoqing nodded solemnly and said, "Xiaoqing is sure!" ”
Tian Fan looked at Hui'er and asked, "Hui'er, have you paid attention?" ”
Hui'er said: "No, I don't even know which one is Chang Xuan, how can I pay so much attention?" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "It's better to be careful, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" Hui'er, you brought General Zhang, General Chen, and Mr. Jian! Hui'er agreed, went out and called a guard, and after a few words, the soldier nodded and turned away.
After a while, Chen Zhi and Jian Yong came. Chen is not good at drinking, although the atmosphere is very lively during the day, but he does not drink much. Although Jian Yong is a literati, the amount of alcohol is not small, and he drinks about the same as Tian Fan, but he doesn't feel it at all.
The two nodded to Hui'er and Xiaoqing, and Jian Yong asked, "Boguang, have something to do with us?" When Tian Fan saw that Zhang Fei didn't come, he asked, "What about General Zhang?" ”
Chen Zhi said: "Oh, Yide drank a little too much, a little confused, he said to freshen up first and wake up." ”
Tian Fan nodded and explained the situation, and Chen Zhi and Jian Yong realized the seriousness of the matter. If Chang Feng took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and directly sent people to attack here and kill all the people here, then Liu Bei would definitely not be able to spare them, and Zang Ba would definitely go to Lu Bu when he was desperate! I didn't expect that this rough man could come up with such a solution! This is in the class super!
In ancient times, each general had dozens to hundreds of personal soldiers in his hands, and the most important responsibility of these personal soldiers was to protect their own commanders. They are treated better than ordinary soldiers, and if they die to protect the general, their families will receive the compensation they deserve, but once the general is killed, their fate is in danger. Therefore, these pro-soldiers are completely loyal to their confidants and commanders! If Chang Fan used his own soldiers to attack the compound where Tian Fan and they lived, it would not be terrible. Tian Fan and Zhang Fei had more than 200 soldiers under him, as well as Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Yan Qi, who were perverts, and a few hundred people would not pose a threat to them at all.
Ke Changfeng's situation is a bit special. Nominally, Chang Xuan, Sun Guan and others are Zang Ba's subordinates, but in fact, they are in a state of cooperation. That is, their soldiers are loyal to themselves and will not be loyal to others! Under normal circumstances, everyone listens to Zang Ba, but once it comes to special circumstances, these soldiers will only be loyal to their generals. As far as Tian Fan knows, Zang Ba has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Sun Guan and Sun Kang have 2,000, Yin Li and Wu Dun have 1,000 each, and Chang Feng has about 1,500 soldiers and horses, including 500 cavalry!
If Chang Feng was determined to kill Tian Fan and the others, with his 1,500 people rushing forward, a seven-to-one power comparison, he would still be very likely to succeed! Thinking about this, Tian Fan couldn't help but feel a little worried!
