Chapter 266: I Let Him Go
Zang Ba has to be more difficult in his heart, how difficult it is.
Of course, he didn't want to make trouble, and the best way was to hand over Guan Ping directly.
But many people have reported that Yunshan is Guan Ping, Chen Qun has not succeeded, and he Zang Ba is even more unlikely to succeed, which will also directly damage his reputation for valuing righteousness, and when he wants to rebel against Cao Pi, these people under his command will not necessarily take the risk to stand with him.
But if you don't report Guan Ping......
This is clearly to embarrass himself, Zang Ba doesn't want to be pinched by Guan Ping.
After pondering for a moment, Zang Ba said with a gloomy face:
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Uncle is willing to help me?"
"Uh......" Zang Ba pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Yes, many years ago, I drank with Lingzun Guan Yunchang and agreed to help the Han family together. Now that the virtuous nephew is in trouble, how can he be an uncle, tell me, what do you want to do? If my uncle can do it, I will do my best. โ
Zang Ba has already made up his mind, if Guan Ping threatens him, or persuades him to become an official in the court, he will let people serve wine, and you will have to pour it into you.
Guan Ping looked at Zang Ba with an expectant look on his face, and said with a smile:
"I ask my uncle to return to Xuzhou quickly and don't stay, my uncle is gone, and I will take care of things here."
"Huh?" Zang Ba was stunned, and said in his heart that Cao Pi must have dreamed that he would hand over his military power and stay in Xu Du to be a dog for the Cao family, if he didn't say a word, patted his ass and left, Cao Pi would definitely be furious, and if he couldn't do it with his stinky temper, he would kill Yunshan directly.
It doesn't matter if you die or not, Lao Tzu has been observing here because he is worried that he will be directly charged with rebellion, Zang Ba just wants to get a little benefit from Cao Pi as much as possible, and he doesn't want to turn his face directly with Cao Pi, Guan Ping's move makes him a little bit of a loss.
Guan Ping observed his words and looks, knowing that Zang Ba had taken the bait, and said quickly:
"Uncle, don't worry, I have already thought of a way, there will be a big war after my uncle returns to Xuzhou, and it is expected that Cao Pi will not dare to pursue it."
"You said that you raise your own self-respect, right?" Zang Ba rolled his eyes, "How can it be so easy?" If this had worked, I had done it many years ago, but ......"
But the Cao family is not stupid.
Zang Ba now said that he would go back to suppress the bandits, he must be treating Cao Pi as a fool, which is basically equivalent to directly telling Cao Pi that I am too lazy to stay here and want to go home, and I will pull all Cao Pi's hatred on himself. Zang Ba's philosophy of life is Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, you do Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, I come, he is really a little lustful, even if he has made up his mind to oppose Cao Pi, he does not dare to take the lead, for fear of being set on fire.
Guan Ping smiled and said:
"It's because those thieves are not worth mentioning, but what if it's the elite of the Wu army?"
"Wu Jun? Elite? Zang Ba tasted the product carefully, and he was almost happy, "Jiangdong rats, what elite can you speak of?" I see them like chickens and dogs! โ
Speaking of which, Zang Ba should indeed have such self-confidence, in history, this bandit-born prince is a rare genius in water warfare in the Cao army, and once crossed Chaohu Lake to break through the Wu army's heavy nest, forcing Sun Quan to surrender. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to be beaten like this by a bandit in a water battle, and it is natural for Zang Ba not to take the Jiangdong Army in his eyes.
And if the main force of the Wu army really came, Zang Ba would definitely not dare to tell them that the brothers should not beat me, and when the time comes, Sun Quan will be sold backhand and there will be no place to cry.
"Jiangdong Lu Yi, has my uncle ever heard of it?"
"Well, I've heard a little." Zang Ba still knows the situation of Wu Jun quite well, "This is Sun Quan's cronies, and he is considered a general." But I am stationed in Xuzhou, Sun Quan has not dared to attack, he is now fighting in Hefei, and I can't save him without a military order. This, how can this be good? โ
"If Jiangdong fights Hefei, of course, it is not my uncle's business, but if they go deep into Xuzhou and establish a base in the mountains of Xubei, like that Huo Jun, if such a person enters Xuzhou, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can deal with it, and it has to be my uncle's father."
When Guan Ping and Lu Yi were separated before, Lu Yi had already decided to follow Guan Ping's method and establish a base in the hinterland of Cao's army in Xuzhou to echo Sun Quan's northward movement.
It's just that Sun Quan's long-term war in Hefei was unfavorable, his own side suffered heavy losses, and major problems also appeared in the country, and he had lost the momentum of the Northern Expedition for a while.
But Lu Yi has actually arrived in Xuzhou......
"How do you know?" Zang Ba asked anxiously, obviously quite moved.
Guan Ping hit the railway while it was hot:
"I am close friends with Lu Yi, before we planned to raise troops in Jingzhou, Huo Jun and I joined forces to open up a base in Wancheng, which has been quite effective.
Lu Boyan is kind to me, knows my identity, and is ready to open up a base in Xuzhou, as long as the general can return to Xuzhou and join forces with Lu Boyan, the big thing will be decided! โ
Zang Ba suddenly remembered that he had greeted Yun Shan before with the idea of joining forces with Yun Shan to carve up one side and seize more power.
He had a good influence around Qingxu, but it was only in the military, and his grasp of the local area was quite insufficient.
If it can really be proved that Lu Yi arrived in person, then Zang Ba can not only leave Xu Capital smoothly, but also openly gather his previous army, and even have a chance to get involved in local civil affairs.
His heart was pounding, and his mind was already blank.
Although there is an excuse in this way, if he takes one step, there will be no chance to turn back after that, and he will completely play the role of Ma Chao Han Sui in the future, and he will always be a big trouble for the court.
"Uncle, now there is General Le in Jingzhou, and there is a little nephew in Guanzhong, if there is an uncle in the east and Sun Quan in the south, when the time is ripe, we will attack together, then the Han Dynasty can be prosperous, and the national thieves will be removed, and my uncle is also a hero of the Kuang Fu Han family, and he can go down in history, and future generations will always be worshipped, why not do it?" Please also ask my uncle to make it clear! โ
Theoretically, Guan Ping's conditions are really not too tempting.
Zang Ba can mix up to now, and balance is especially important.
If he becomes a Han dynasty unified, no one will allow him to continue to divide one side and claim hegemony, and a half-dead man is the best man for him.
But if you think about it carefully, if Cao Pi succeeds in acting for Han, he will definitely not be allowed to continue to mix in Qingxu.
Should you hand over power and rest assured that you will be Cao Pi's subject for the rest of your life, or will you take a risk and risk your entire family being killed for a chance to go down in history?
Zang Ba thought for a long time, and finally smiled:
"What the virtuous nephew said was really underestimating me.
I have long wanted to support the Han family, but I have been missing the opportunity because I am not familiar with Liu Yuanjun.
Now that we know that Liu Yuanjun's army is ready to stop, why can't Zang Ba be born as a thief and rush to the front for the people of the world? Who doesn't want to do something for Kuang Fu Han, I am inseparable from Cao Thief! โ
"Hey, uncle, where are you talking about this?" Seeing that Zang Ba had made up his mind, Guan Ping immediately climbed up the pole, "Uncle is still hiding from me now?" Uncle and father must have had a deep meaning in trusting their uncle so much. Did my uncle ask my uncle to hold back for a while and wait for the right time many years ago? Otherwise, he would not have let the little nephew come to find his uncle at such a moment. โ
"Uh......"
Zang Ba scratched his head, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
But after a while, his face returned to calm and resolute, and he said solemnly:
"Not bad! When Liu Yuanjun broke away from Cao Cao and went to Xuzhou, I wanted to defect, but Liu Yuanjun said that if I went but lost together, it would be better to control Qingxu for the time being, and then make plans for his Northern Expedition! Well, I didn't expect Tan Zhi to be so smart, and he could even guess this matter, there really is a long wind! โ
It doesn't matter what the facts are, anyway, Zang Ba and Guan Ping looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied with this matter. From Guan Ping's voice, Zang Ba could hear that he was full of confidence in his return to Guan Zhong, which meant that all the fears he had pretended to have before were fake.
This kid is really cunning, Cao Pi is frivolous, it seems that he will be defeated by this kid soon, I have to hurry up and pave the way back.
Guan Ping and Zang Ba talked and laughed and walked out of the camp, which made all the generals under Zang Ba, who was originally tense, breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Guan Ping riding away from the dust, Zang Ba's expression was slightly gentle, and he hurriedly ordered the whole army to pull out the village and withdraw to his hometown as soon as possible.
Wu Dun asked in surprise:
"General, what did this kid say? I'm waiting for this to go, what if Cao Pi comes to conquer us? โ
Zang Ba gritted his teeth and smiled:
"No, this kid is very capable, I ...... Hey, our chance to develop is coming! โ
ยท
Guan Ping returned to Xudu, leisurely came to the Wei Palace, and lightly informed Cao Pi of the news that he had ordered Zang Ba to leave.
Cao Pi heard that Yunshan had returned and was in a good mood, and thought that Yunshan had bluffed Zang Ba, and he was immediately extremely happy.
He excitedly lined up the pomp and called Sima Yi, Xin Bi and others to witness this moment together, but he didn't expect Yunshan to say that he let Zang Ba go back......
Zang Ba came to Cao Cao's funeral, and saying goodbye without saying goodbye was no different from rebellion, especially when the Qingzhou Army defected en masse before, he fled back to his hometown, and it was even more like a thief.
But Yunshan went on behalf of Cao Pi, and he ordered Zang Ba to leave, and Zang Ba could of course push the boat down the river and run away.
Cao Pi was suddenly angry, and he couldn't wait to jump up and slap Yunshan hard.
Darn...... What else do you want you to do if Zang Ba leaves?
Cao Pi took the case and sneered:
"General Yun, Zang Xuangao is a shepherd, and it is up to the court to decide, who made you make a claim?
Zang Xuangao left like this, what should the dispatch of the imperial court do? Yun Tanzhi, have you still put this king in your eyes? โ
Cao Pi is really angry this time.
Zang Ba didn't dare to stay or return to his hometown, this was a good opportunity to pinch him, but he didn't expect Yunshan to push the boat down the river and directly let Zang Ba escape, but it became a favor for Zang Ba!
He pressed his hands on the table, slowly supporting his body, and his pale face was already full of hideous color.
"Tanzhi, are you really the son of Guan Yunchang as Chen Qun said? Answer me, no! โ
Cao Pi's voice was like a wounded wolf, Sima Yi and Xin Bi couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly gave Yun Shan a look, asking him to quickly apologize to Cao Pi, don't make Cao Pi unhappy at this time.
Guan Ping looked at Cao Pi's almost bloodless face, and said with a smile:
"Yes, so-and-so is Guan Ping!"
