After Mi Fang listened to Guan Yu's words, she stood stunned on the horse for a moment.

He looked at the backs of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei marching forward together, and suddenly recalled what Mi Zhu had specially instructed him before he came to pick up Liu Jian this time.

These local families in Xuzhou, if they want to take refuge in Liu Jian, they must treat each other sincerely and don't play some senseless ghost thoughts, after all, Liu Jian's means of rectifying Haoyou in Hebei are well known.

Since the Mi family has brought Liu Jian to Xuzhou, then treat yourself sincerely and don't have other thoughts.

Otherwise, with Liu Jian's strength and wisdom. In the future, if you want to cut off the Xuzhou clans, it is also a matter of hand-to-hand capture.

After all, in Hebei over the years, there are countless families that have been destroyed by Liu Jian.

And now, Zang Ba has touched Liu Jian's scales.

Zang Ba wanted to take refuge in Liu Jian, and the biggest mistake he made was to rely on himself to be the overlord of Kaiyang County, Langya State, and he wanted to use this identity to sit on the ground with Liu Jian.

Zang Ba felt that if Liu Jian didn't have him, it would not be so easy to recover the northern border of Xuzhou.

After all, by pacifying the Yellow Turban, there were many Taishan heroes here who had greatly increased their power, and they had all become local overlords, with sufficient troops and horses, and considerable combat power.

Mi Fang originally felt that there was nothing wrong with Zang Ba sitting on the ground and starting the price.

As a party, it is natural to want to sell itself for a good price.

Since it is a conformity, it is natural that there is some value in the obedience.

However, this matter is not good for Liu Jian.

In the case of Liu Jian who had just taken office in the local government, he might feel that it was reasonable to reach a certain exchange of interests and bargain with the local forces, after all, at that time, Liu Jian's forces were weak, and no matter where he went, he needed the support of the local forces.

But now, the situation is different.

Liu Jian was already the most powerful prince of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Jian's own goals and ambitions are ambitious, and the world he wants is not a world obtained through compromise with local heroes!

What he wants is a strong Han nation, a Han nation that can concentrate on doing great things!

The local heroes have no room to bargain with themselves, they just need to follow their own footsteps, what they let them do, what they do, it is enough!

Follow yourself, and they will prosper as a family.

Liu Jian will not let them pay for nothing, and will definitely give them benefits.

But what Liu Jian wants is absolute command, and the Xuzhou clans have no bargaining power in themselves.

This rule has to be set at the beginning and laid a good foundation, so that they don't get used to it in the future.

This is true for the Mi clan of the East China Sea, and it is also the same for Zang Ba, the overlord of Kaiyang.

Zang Ba is in the wrong position.

……

……

The news of the arrival of Hebei reinforcements in Langya State, Zang Ba has long been clear.

But Zang Ba didn't know that Liu Jian came in person, he only knew that it was the general of Hebei who led the troops.

Zang Ba had made up his mind in advance, he asked the Mi clan of the East China Sea to lead the Hebei army to be stationed in Linyi County, near Kaiyang, and then he would be the elite soldiers under his command, while practicing in Kaiyang, while sending people to Linyi to negotiate with the Hebei general about returning to Shun.

said that it was a return to obedience, but in fact, he hoped to take advantage of the matter in Xuzhou to invite Liu Jian to an official position.

Although Zang Ba is now the overlord of Kaiyang, he has never had a serious position.

You must know that Zang Ba spent so much effort to dominate Kaiyang, monopolize Langya County, and dominate the northern part of Xuzhou, not to be a thief.

He wanted a decent official position, obtained the official canonization of the imperial court, and rightfully took over the Langya State.

At present, there are only two forces that are officially qualified to appoint Tibetan tyrants as the minister of Langya, one is the imperial court in Chang'an, and the other is Liu Jian, the general of Fuyuan.

In fact, the local officials that could be appointed by the Hebei regime established by Liu Jian should have been set up for foreign ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang.

In a state like Xuzhou, which does not border foreign ethnic groups, Liu Jian should not actually participate in the appointment of local officials, but there is an exception to everything, it depends on how you explain it.

As long as you want to, there must be a way to solve it.

Although Zang Ba had power in the north of Xuzhou, he had no access to the people of the Chang'an court.

This time, Liu Jian sent elite soldiers to Xuzhou, and Zang Ba wanted to take this opportunity to catch Liu Jian's line.

However, Zang Ba is still very arrogant, even if he wants to take refuge in Liu Jian, he has made up his mind to join the Hebei Army in style.

He wanted Liu Jian to take the initiative to invite him because of his power in the north of Xuzhou, and to treat him as an important person and appoint him to the official position he wanted.

And he also wants to maintain his independence.

He didn't want to bend his knees and flatter Liu Jian.

He had to stand and earn his position!

It's a pity that Zang Ba made a wrong idea, and Liu Jian just wanted him to kneel.

Zang Ba ordered troops in Kaiyang, and was about to let the Hebei reinforcements know the majesty of his soldiers and horses, but soon, Mi Fang's envoy hurriedly arrived and told Zang Ba that the Hebei reinforcements did not plan to be stationed in Linyi County, but they went to Yangdu County in Langya to garrison troops.

After Zang Ba heard the news, he couldn't help but be furious!

He was not angry that the Hebei Army did not go to Linyi according to his assignment, but that he was angry that the Hebei Army was not stationed well, but that it was going to Yangdu!

The Hebei Army's arrangement is a naked political provocation.

Zang Ba is now the real power figure of Langya State, and his goal is to become the Minister of Langya, take over the entire Langya State justifiably, and become the overlord of northern Xuzhou.

But who is there in Yangdu City now?

It is the current Langya Prime Minister Lu Fen, and the Langya King Liu Rong.

The power of these two people is not enough for Zang Ba to pay attention to, but the two of them are indeed the rightful rulers of Langya State!

The main reason why Zang Ba wanted to take refuge in Hebei was to nominally take over the post of Langya Minister Lu Fen.

However, the Hebei army rejected his kindness, and instead went to Yangdu City to get close to Lu Fen......

Isn't this a clear indication that you don't take yourself seriously?

Zang Ba immediately asked Mi Fang's envoy who the commander of the Hebei army's army from the sea was.

The messenger told Zang Ba that the main general was Zhang Fei, the general of Jizhou!

Zang Ba immediately sent people, and Starry Night summoned several of his allies to Kaiyang to discuss how to deal with "Zhang Fei"!

In addition to Zang Ba, there are also Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Xuan, each gathering one side and becoming its own climate.

Zang Ba immediately told everyone about Zhang Fei's introduction of the army to Xuzhou.

After finishing speaking, all the heroes of Taishan were furious.

"Zhang Feipifu, just relying on Liu Jian's interests, has made some contributions in the north, he thinks he is a famous general, and he doesn't take Brother Xuan's kindness in his eyes, it's really hateful!"

Among the generals of Mount Tai, Chang Feng is the oldest.

So Zang Ba asked Chang Xuan: "How does Chang Gong think this matter should be handled?" ”

Chang Feng squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Since Zhang Fei doesn't attach importance to us, why don't you vote for him, attack and kill his army, behead him, and sacrifice Yuan Shao?" ”

Zang Ba shook his head and said, "No! Although we are independent of the side of Qingzhou and have our own climate, we are too close to Liu Jian, and Fei is the brother of Jian, if we kill it, Liu Jian hates us and swears to destroy it! ”

"Tao Qian is old and not enough to serve, only to return to Liu Jian, we have a future."

Chang Feng sighed: "But Liu Jian is far away in Hebei, and Zhang Fei doesn't take us seriously, so what can I do?" ”

Zang Ba was also a little hesitant.

At this time, I heard Yin Li say: "Fly to Langya, but thousands of people, if you unite with Mi Fang, design to capture it, and then take the flying crowd, take it as a hostage, go to Hebei to ask Liu Jian to invite credit, Liu Jian saw that I am in Xuzhou such forces, must rely on, can ask Liu Jian to Langya and Qingxuzhou County to defend the position, and then drive the army south, for Liu Jian to help, one can make Liu Jian rely on us, the other can remain independent, have military power in hand, can build their own foundation! ”

When Zang Ba heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Actually, that's his real purpose!

Historically, after Zang Ba and Taishan generals defected to Cao Cao, they still maintained relative independence.

When Cao Cao first received the surrender of Zang Ba, he was entrusted to the hegemony of Zang Qing and Xu Erzhou, and Zang Ba surrendered in name, but in fact he was still the sole hegemon.

It is no wonder that Cao Cao in history handed over everything in the East to Zang Ba in order to deal with Yuan Shao's southward movement, which was also to relieve the pressure when he fought against Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Cao was fighting, he led his troops directly into Qingzhou, killing all sides in Qi, Beihai and Dong'an counties, and beating Yuan Tan in Qingzhou all over the place.

The relationship between Cao Cao and Zang Ba is obviously - everyone is mixed up on the road, I call you a big brother, it is to give you face, don't go too far, you really treat me as a little brother.

It is precisely because the generals of Mount Tai have a strong independence that some of them have repeatedly rebelled, such as Changfeng.

Zhuge Liang said: Cao Cao's five attacks on Chang Ba are not down, which shows that Chang Feng has rebelled many times.

But to put it bluntly, it was also because of the confrontation between Yuan and Cao, Cao Cao didn't want to anger the generals of Mount Tai led by Zang Ba, so Cao Cao would tolerate Chang Feng jumping around in Xuzhou.

But Liu Jian in this era is not Cao Cao.

The current Liu Jian does not have the difficult situation in history when the "Yuan Cao confrontation" occurred.

Although Liu Jian confronted Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, he was by no means at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Zang Ba and other Taishan generals want to maintain their independence under his command...... When pigs fly!

……

Zang Ba asked the people: "How can you capture that Zhang Feiye?" ”

Chang Xuan immediately said: "This matter is easy, I can go and deceive Yu Feiye!" ”
