"The famous tiger and leopard ride is nothing more than that!"

Seeing the tiger and leopard led by Cao Xiu returning from riding a feather, Zang Ba immediately covered his long beard and laughed.

"The main soldier is unmatched, although Cao Pi is the king of Wei, but since the death of Meng De, this king of Wei is just like this, if Meng De is here, how can he drive the tiger and leopard to attack the walled city? In my opinion, this Cao Pi is just a fist embroidered leg, a useless guy, the great king and princely foundation, in the near future! ”

In front of Zang Ba, there was a big man in armor who was about his age, who was bending over at the moment, and he was smiling to please Zang Ba.

This person is not an ordinary person, but Wu Dun, one of the four heroes of Mount Tai back then.

The four Kou of Mount Tai refer to the four leaders of Taishan who were entrenched in the area of Qingxu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, namely Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xuan.

Sun Guan accompanied his army Cao Cao to attack Sun Quan on the eastern front, but was shot by a stray arrow in the area of Misukou and died after the battle.

Yin Li originally belonged to Zang Ba and Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu was defeated and died, he returned to Cao Cao and became his military general, and was appointed as the Dongguan Taishou.

Now he follows Zang Ai, the son of Zang Ba, to guard Xuzhou.

Chang Feng was originally one of the Taishan group of robbers, and later surrendered to Cao Cao, but Chang Feng was capricious, repeatedly rebelled, and was finally broken by Xiahou Yuan with his troops, surrendered to the ban, and was finally killed.

Wu Dunnai was a dark slave, from the yellow scarf, originally a bandit, to help Lu Bu, and Lu Bu surrendered to Cao Cao after his defeat.

After Zang Ba rose to power, he used the huge profits of the business alliance to tempt Wu Dun and Yili, so that both of them were under his own account and were driven away by him.

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world."

Although Zang Ba is a little complacent, it has not yet reached the level of complete rampant.

Rengui is self-aware, and he still knows how many catties and taels he has.

"I have seen Cao Pi this person, he is not an incompetent person, there are countless capable people under him, we are in danger, if we are arrogant, it is to cut off our vitality."

He waved his hand and said: "We must beware of the Wei army cutting off my grain route, and if we hold the grain and grass, we will have the opportunity to wrestle with Cao Pi, otherwise, we will stick to this place and be defeated because of the grain and grass problem." ”

"What the lord said is very true."

Wu Dun immediately agreed.

"Then I'm going to guard the Yin Tomb? In case the Wei army cut off the grain route! ”

You...

Zang Ba glanced at Wu Dun deeply and said, "You and I are sons and daughters, and my wealth is also your wealth." ”

After saying this sentence with a deep meaning, Zang Ba nodded and said, "Then Xu Ling will take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and go to the Yin Tomb." ”

"Father!"

As soon as Zang Ba agreed, in front of Zang Ba, a young general in red armor who looked a little similar to Zang Ba got up.

"This matter is not proper, the Yin Tomb is an important place..."

In front of Wu Dun, Zang Shun, the son of Zang Ba, didn't dare to say too clearly.

But as soon as he said this, whether it was Zang Ba or Wu Dun, they all understood the meaning of Zang Shun's words.

Wu Dun's face turned pale for a moment.

"Lord, otherwise, I will stay in the village and let the son go to guard the Yin Tomb."

"Needless to say."

Zang Ba glanced at Zang Shun angrily, then laughed, stepped forward and took Wu Dun's hand very cordially and said: "I, Zang Ba, am like Mengde, I don't suspect that I don't need to use people, since you and I have become brothers with different surnames, we are living and dying together, and we are rich and noble!" Your Uncle Wu led the troops to Yinling, I don't worry. ”

After speaking, he said to Zang Shun: "Come and apologize to your Uncle Wu." ”

Zang Shun also knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wu Dun respectfully, and said, "Uncle Wu, I..."

"Huh."

Wu Dun smiled and said, "The second son is just an unintentional mistake, how can I hold a grudge?" The so-called generals are outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, and I hope that the lord will not be suspicious, if you and I have been friends for many years, if we are suspicious of each other, then this big thing will not be done. ”

Saying that, he solemnly saluted Zang Ba and said: "The little girl is married to the eldest son, and between the lord and me is a grasshopper on a rope. ”

"Good brother!"

Zang Ba was moved in his heart, and then said: "I will set up a banquet for you tonight, and the wealth in the future will depend on you and my brothers!" ”

Wu Dun nodded heavily.

"In that case, my lord, I will go to the army to make some preparations first, and tomorrow morning, I will set off for Yinling."

Zang Ba's eyes were red and he bowed slightly.

After Wu Dun walked away, the feeling of attachment and farewell on Zang Ba's face disappeared in an instant.

I saw him kick on the heel of Zang Shun's hind legs, and the latter was in pain and knelt directly on the ground.

"Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

Zang Shun knew that he was wrong, so he had to kneel honestly.

"The child knows it's wrong."

Hum!

Seeing his son admit his mistake, Zang Ba's attitude improved a lot.

Of course...

The anger in my heart has not completely dissipated.

"What's wrong?"

"You shouldn't have said it so bluntly in front of Uncle Wu."

Zang Ba couldn't help but kick Zang Shun in the back again, and said, "You shouldn't say such things!" ”

Zang Ba looked at his second son, his face was full of hatred for iron.

"Our father and son, can we really occupy the land of Qingxu? It's for someone to help, your Uncle Wu and I are old friends, if this person can't be trusted, who else can we trust? ”

Hoo hoo hoo hoo huh huh ~

Zang Ba gasped and said again: "Or do you think you are smart in this world?" I don't see the risk of this? ”

"Father, child..."

"This time I went to the Yin Tomb, I originally wanted you to follow, but now, can I give this order?"

"Then why didn't my father send someone else?"

Zang Ba sneered and said, "Could it be that other people are more reliable than your Uncle Wu?" ”

Wu Dun is his in-law and a brother who has known each other for many years.

This kind of person can't believe that he really can't send anyone else.

"Wang, Uncle Wu can believe it, but in Xuzhou, Brother and Uncle Yi, can they also believe it?"

Zang Ba's eyes narrowed and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zang Shun knew that he had lost his words again.

I had to bite the bullet and said: "The king is alone in the depths, and the land of Qingxu is not suppressed by his father, then the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the king of Wei, Cao Pi, only needs to send a messenger to go to stir up the storm, if the king of Wei promises the eldest brother or Uncle Yi to be rich and noble, and allows them to be the lord of Xuzhou, and turn to Wei, what should it do?" ”

"If it were you, of course it would be possible, but your eldest brother would never do it, your Uncle Yi also had a fateful friendship with me, so he won't!"

Zang Ba said categorically.

"It's just that, compared to wealth, friendship is really important?"

Zang Shun's heart-wrenching words made Zang Ba silent.

Oh, yes!

His son said that if Cao Pi, the king of Wei, promised Yili to be the lord of Xuzhou and take his place, would he be tempted?

If the rear is gone, and the alliance is not successful, then he Zang Ba, isn't there only a dead end?

...

Shouchun City.

The main hall.

Cao Pi, who was sitting on the main seat, had a face as black as a black pot, his fists clenched, and his eyes stared at the map behind him.

The king was in a bad mood, and the ministers in the main hall naturally didn't dare to speak, even if they breathed, they all tried to be as quiet as possible, for fear of touching Cao Pi's moldy head.

"King Qiyu, General Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard to ride forward to call the battle, Zang Ba did not leave the camp, General Cao Xiu rushed to the camp in anger, but failed."

Cao Pi stared at the map in front of him, and asked the ministers behind him, "What kind of calculation is this Zang Ba camping on the east bank of the river?" ”

Cao Pi had already decided to show weakness to the enemy.

Let Cao Xiu lead the tiger and leopard to ride to the camp, which is naturally authorized by him.

Let the elite soldiers go to the siege.

Only a fool would do that.

He Cao Pi really became a fool today.

But...

Thinking about it all night, Cao Pi also came back to his senses.

I'm afraid that he showed weakness to the enemy before, and he really did it in vain.

It is impossible for Zang Ba to really set up camp on the east bank of the river because he showed weakness to the enemy.

In Cao Pi's expectation, it was just a few days of staying in Zangba's Xuzhou army.

But judging from the current situation, Zang Ba is obviously prepared.

The camp built here is very strong, and it doesn't look like it's hasty, but on the contrary, it has the meaning of staying in it for a long time.

So...

What is his dependence?

Seeing the doubts in Cao Pi's heart, Sima Yi, who was dressed in a strategist's robe, immediately got up, saluted Cao Pi, and said, "King, I'm afraid that Zang Ba wants to keep the king's army here and give Jiangdong a chance to breathe. ”

Give Koto a chance to breathe?

"What does Zhongda mean by Zang Ba uniting Jiangdong?"

Sima Yi nodded, and then said: "I'm afraid that not only has Jiangdong been united, but the heir of Liu Gonghei, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is bound to ally with Zang Ba, Zang Ba dares to come here, he is ready, he will drag the king, and wait for all reinforcements to arrive here, and deal a fatal blow to the king!" ”

Although the general trend has not yet formed, Sima Yi has already guessed the situation.

Of course...

He's not guessing, either.

Zang Ba sent several envoys, and was intercepted by the Wei army, and from their mouths, he naturally got Zang Ba's intentions.

"How dare he?"

This is the question in Cao Pi's heart.

"Going deep into danger and putting his own safety in the hands of others, how long does he think he can stop the loneliness? Ten days? Twenty days. Or a month or two months? ”

Cao Pi sneered and said: "That Jiangdong Sun Quan, who is notoriously treacherous, is a cunning person like Liu Gonghei, who is almost deflated, as for Liu Gonghei, it is even more unreliable, Zang Ba and these two people are allied, and they also put themselves in danger, and there is a way to die!" ”

After figuring out the joint, Cao Pi's whole person became relaxed.

"The news from the front has arrived, who will guard the land of Qingxu? In Zang Ba's army, is there anyone available? ”

The front is hard and can't be beaten... Oh no, it's too much damage.

Let's take a different approach.

My Cao family has been running the land of Qingxu for decades, and how can I cultivate some of my own forces, and you Zang Ba suddenly rebelled.

How many people dare to drag their families and rebel against you?

Even if I rebel against you, can I be determined?

To deal with this kind of person with an unstable foundation, there is no need to fight hard at all, and play some tricks, and the seemingly powerful force may fall apart in an instant!

Wu Zhen, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, stepped forward and said: "In the land of Qingxu, the guardian is Zang Ai, the eldest son of Zang Ba, and the Taishou Yili of Dongguan County. ”

This Dongguan is naturally not the Dongguan of later generations.

According to the Hanshu Geographical Chronicles, there is Dongguan County in Langxie County. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of Jian'an, Dongguan County was established, which is located in the northern part of Yishui and Ju County, Linyi City.

"Zang Ai, Yili?"

Cao Pi muttered to himself and asked, "Who is this Zang Ai?" ”

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

Although Zang Ai is the son of Zang Ba, is there still less of a father and son turning against each other?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how did the Jin Kingdom decline?

In myths, why did Buzhou Mountain collapse?

Under the temptation of absolute power interests, what is the relationship between father and son?

Even before Cao Cao's death, in Cao Pi's heart, there were great rebellious thoughts from time to time.

That's not enough for outsiders.

"Zang Ai is known for his talent, he was originally Huangmenlang, and he joined the government in Xudu, but because of Zang Ba's fraud, he returned to Xuzhou."

There was a period of time before, Zang Ba claimed to have been sick, and he earned his son Zang Ai to return to Xu.

"What is his mind?"

Wu Zhen replied honestly: "I heard that I am quite scheming, not a stupid person." ”

Wise man?

Cao Pi's eyes flickered.

"Then Yili, can you exchange letters with my Wei country?"

Wu Zhen nodded and said, "There was a month ago, but this month, there has been no news." ”

That's weird.

Cao Pi rolled his eyes and said: "Send a powerful envoy to Xuzhou, saying that Zang Ai or Yili will surrender, who is willing to set things right, I will allow him to assassinate Xuzhou!" ”

The office of state pastor is rarely appointed.

The history of the assassin can be regarded as an official position that nominally balances a state.

Cao Pi felt that he had given enough benefits.

"Who wants to be a messenger for this?"

After Cao Pi finished speaking, his eyes swept at the ministers under the hall.

It's just that many people are secretly bowing their heads and dare not answer.

The previous envoy crossed the river to see Zang Ba, and the end is still vivid!

Now go to Xuzhou to the Longtan Tiger's Den?

I'm afraid that if I take a wrong step, I will have no bones left.

No one in the hall dared to be a lobbyist, Cao Pi clenched his fists, frowned, and was about to go crazy, but among the ministers, one person finally came out.

The man was gray-haired, and looked to be of a certain age.

"If the king does not give up, the old minister is willing to go."

It was none other than Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi who spoke.

Once upon a time, he was also a celebrity and debater in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. has good looks, is known for his talent, and is alone between the river and Huai, and is not right.

As a result, when he persuaded Zhou Yu to surrender, he fell for his counter-plan.

Cao Cao was furious, and ordered to kill Cai and Zhang, which indirectly caused Cao Jun and Jingzhou to have a gap between each other.

Fortunately, Cao Cao did not punish him for his crimes, and he survived so far.

But now, it's time to clear his name.

Going to Xuzhou, it's dangerous, isn't it?

The big guys don't want to.

Then my old bones, come!

Seeing that it was Jiang Gan, Cao Pi hesitated at first, but soon burst out laughing.

"Jiang Gong is willing to go, this matter will be done!"

Jiang Gan naturally knew that Cao Pi was hesitant in his heart, but he just said sonorously: "If you don't succeed, you won't return!" ”

"Good, good!"

Jiang Gan is like this, Cao Pi is naturally happy in his heart.

"Then I will give full authority to Jiang Gong."

After the matter of the envoy to Xuzhou was ordered, Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhen again and asked: "Then now on the east bank of the river, in the Zang Ba army, is there anyone who can use it?" ”

Wu Zhen nodded, said: "I got the news this morning, Licheng Taishou Wu Dun led the troops and horses of the headquarters to go to Yinling Town to guard the Xuzhou Soldier Grain Road, this person is one of the four Kou of Mount Tai, although he has a friendship with Zang Ba, but for several months, he has been in contact with me by letter, and even sent soldiers to transport grain and grass to Hefei. ”

Wu Dun?

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Speaking of this person, don't be stingy with the official reward!" ”

This punch has been done for twenty years.

Zang Ba?

Can you stop it?!
