Chapter 525: As expected
Zang Hong in history is a well-known loyal and righteous person, but although Yuan Shao is the leader of the Kwantung princes' alliance and single-handedly promoted Zang Hong to serve as the assassin of Qingzhou, it is difficult to get Zang Hong's unreserved recognition.
Zang Hong is loyal to the Han family, but Yuan Shao is not the same as the Han Emperor after all!
In the battle against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao did not show the temperament and strategy that the alliance leader should have, and in that anticlimactic battle, Yuan Shao's enterprising spirit and enthusiasm for the country were far inferior to Cao Mengde, and he was not even better than Sun Jianbiao, who took the lead.
It is precisely because of Yuan Shao's mediocrity that the vigorous cause of seeking Dong ended without a problem!
Although Zang Hong's ascension to the throne benefited from Yuan Shao, in the case that Yuan Shao was not enough for him to support him wholeheartedly, he also hoped to take this opportunity to create his own career, which was also human nature.
Zang Hong, who had just taken office, should have appeased the people when he first arrived in Qingzhou, familiarized himself with the people's feelings, and gradually completed the control of the jurisdiction. But Zang Hong couldn't wait, he understood that Yuan Shao couldn't give him too much time, and sent a letter to inform Yuan Tan that he would secretly come to Qingzhou to "play", which was already an obvious signal!
Zang Hong must race against time to complete the complete control of Qingzhou before the Yuan clan wants to officially take over Qingzhou, so as to have more capital in a possible future war!
This made Zang Hong determined to take action against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army at a time when it was never suitable to send troops. Because he understood that in order to complete the actual control of Qingzhou, or to make himself have the most basic power of self-preservation, the task was to form a strong army that was absolutely obedient to his orders.
Military!
There are countless stories of heroes fighting for hegemony in all dynasties, and every QiΔ without troops is a floating cloud.
"Zang Hong knew that the combat effectiveness of the army in Qingzhou Mansion was not enough to meet his expectations, but he didn't want to miss the time to establish his prestige, so he invited us to do it at the banquet. With the help of our Feng Xiang's strength, help him complete the control of the troops. "A certain city lord said.
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the conflict between Yuan Tan and our life has fulfilled Zang Hong's wishes. If we really kill Yuan Tan on the street, Zang Hong will inevitably put all the responsibility on our Feng Xiang's head, so that Yuan Shao's eyes will not look at the position of Qingzhou Assassin for the time being, so that he can buy him some precious time, this person is indeed not simple!
But after such a fuss today, Zang Hong's wishful thinking may not work. Yuan Tan, who has suffered a big loss, does not dare to provoke us lightly, and will definitely be angry with Zang Hong, haha! β
Ah Niu smiled, "Yes, this will be more beneficial to us." If Zang Hong's life is not good, his desire to build up his strength will inevitably be more urgent, and Cheng DΓΉ's reliance on us will be even greater! β
Zhao Yun frowned, "Now our analysis of Zang Hong is just speculation, the actual situation is not yet known, if we make a mistake in judgment, it may put us in a very difficult situation." β
A certain city lord smiled mysteriously, "What's so difficult about that?" What Zang Hong's intentions are, we just need to send someone to the state capital to test it again! After I reach an agreement with the fat dragon baby, the fifth brother will run it himself tomorrow. β
The next day, Qingzhou Thorn Mansion.
When Zhao Yun saw Zang Hong, Qingzhou Thorn Shi was full of anger, and said angrily: "It turned out to be General Zilong, I don't know what you are visiting today?" Could it be that we are here for what we said yesterday? β
"Exactly!"
Zang Hong suddenly came to his senses, "Ah Niu City Lord has made a decision?" β
When talking about this matter, although Zang Hong's expression seemed to be very calm, the anxiety inadvertently revealed in his voice had already made Zilong understand how much Zang Hong attached importance to this matter. Zilong pretended to be embarrassed and didn't speak for a long time, Zang Hong finally couldn't sit still, "This matter is related to the stability of millions of people in Qingzhou, is the city lord of Aniu unwilling to help the state capital quell the chaos?" The city lord of Aniu is also the general Zhaode canonized by the first emperor, when the world is in turmoil, how can he only care about his own selfishness and forget about national affairs? β
Zhao Yun said: "Lord Assassin Shi should be impatient, my fourth brother has no intention of prevaricating the chaos. β
Zang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh? Why is that Zilong here? β
"For some reason, we want to postpone the dispatch by two or three months."
Zang Hong's face immediately darkened by half, what he needs most now is time, postponing it for a few days or ten days is not a big problem, if the postponement time is calculated in months, Zang Hong's plan will be completely frustrated.
Zilong didn't care about Zang Hong's reaction, and continued proudly: "It's not that the fourth brother is unwilling to join the war as soon as possible, Feng Xiang has a last resort. First, in the battle between Luoyang and the Yellow Turban Army, although our Fengxiang achieved a great victory, many troops suffered losses and have not been able to recover their vitality until now;
Second, after all, Fengxiang is only a territory with a population of tens of thousands, and its troops are limited. Except for the Yamagi Battalion, which is responsible for the daily defense of the territory and has ordinary combat strength, there are only two troops that can be used a little, one is the cavalry of my flying wing battalion, and the other is the crossbowmen, but now neither of these troops can fight...... The meaning of the fourth brother, Lord Assassin Shi takes a fancy to Feng Xiang's strong soldiers, and if he sends some ordinary troops to help in the war, he may not be entrusted by the adults. β
Zang Hong's whole face darkened, and he frowned, "Why can't Zilong's flying wing battalion and that crossbow unit go into battle?" β
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Lord Assassin Shi should know that Feng Xiang took over the task of rebuilding Luoyang, and in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, I used to lead my troops to garrison it. In the battle of Luoyang, the flying wing battalion had to return to Qingzhou to rest and recuperate, and the crossbow troops took over the defense of Luoyang, and it was impossible to transfer back in a short time.
As for the Flying Wing Battalion, it is because the number of the entire army is less than three hundred, how can it help the state capital to quell the chaos.
The fourth brother asked Zilong to ask Lord Assassin Shi, as long as Lord Assassin Shi said a word, Feng Xiang immediately sent troops to Luoyang to exchange for the crossbow troops, so as to help the state capital clear the Yellow Turban Rebellion! β
The first deceased had already returned to the special territory of Liangzhou, but obviously he couldn't tell Zang Hong the truth, anyway, as long as he knew the fact that "the crossbowmen were not in Qingzhou".
Zang Hong gasped, he knew that Feng Xiang's Flying Wing Battalion had been successfully promoted to a special class in the Battle of Luoyang, but he didn't know that Feng Xiang's sacrifice was so heavy. In such a situation, there was really no reason for him to force Feng Xiang's remnants to fight.
"Transfer the crossbowmen back from Luoyang...... Forget it, the state capital also has crossbow troops, in fact, the most needed force in Hong's mind is the flying wing battalion led by Zilong! Why is the Flying Wing Battalion so far so many, is it because of the lack of war horses? "Zang Hong has long been aiming at the Flying Wing Battalion, a unique special type of troops, a peerless general, which makes Zang Hong very fond of it.
Zhao Yun shook his head, "That's not it, Feng Xiang still has some spare war horses, the difficulty is that the selection conditions of the Flying Wing Battalion are very harsh, especially after the Flying Wing Battalion is promoted, it may not be possible to pick one out of a hundred people." Fengxiang has a limited population, and it is quite rare to be able to add dozens of people into the army after the war, but it's a pity that ......"
Zang Hong had a whim, and said in a lost voice: "Zilong just said that the Flying Wing Battalion can't fight now because it is difficult to select materials, so there is a shortage of soldiers?" β
"Exactly."
"Haha", Zang Hong laughed and said: "Fengxiang City has a population of tens of thousands, and the number of soldiers available for selection is limited, so it is difficult to make up for the needs of the troops in a short period of time. But the huge Qingzhou Mansion has a large population, and Zilong is still afraid that he will not be able to select enough strong pawns that can be reused! β
"What do you mean?"
"If Zilong can select the soldiers he needs in Linzi City, once he is selected, he will be Fengxiang's people, and he doesn't need any price! In that case, I wonder if the Wings Battalion will be able to fight in ten days? Zang Hong's eyes flashed, in order to achieve the goal of fighting as soon as possible, even if Feng Xiang was cheaper, Zang Hong had to admit it, but the premise was that Feng Xiang had to attack in a short enough time.
From yesterday to now, Zang Hong has not been less angry with Yuan Tan!
The expression on Zilong's face was stunned, as if he didn't expect such a good thing, and said vigorously for a long time: "Ten days, it's okay!" Absolutely! β
"Okay, soldier noble god, I will send someone to accompany Zilong to select soldiers, and then take the new soldiers back after completion. I'll send someone to inform you, Lord Niu. Zang Hong immediately became angry.
"That's not necessary, just send an entourage back to report it."
"Very good!"
Ten minutes later, one of the winged cavalrymen waiting outside the Assassin's Mansion whipped away. At the same time, a player of the Zilong Club, who seemed to be wandering on the street, quickly dialed Ah Niu's communication bracelet after seeing Zhao Yunbi's gesture.
"As expected!"
A certain city lord had a smile on his face.
Even if Zang Hong didn't take the initiative to let Feng Xiang recruit troops in the state capital, Zilong would have tried to "remind" him that he thought of this, and he was too stupid to say it.
Zang Hong's intention to be unwilling to continue to be subject to the Yuan clan has become clear, and Feng Xiang, who has figured out the situation, will be able to make a series of arrangements for this point and reduce mistakes!
Another gain is that after being promoted to a special class, the difficulty of selecting troops is comparable to that of the Flying Wing Battalion in the camp, and it can finally be expanded!
"It's a pleasure to use other people's resources to do your own thing!" A certain city lord sighed.
