At this moment. Zang Ba's body had already recovered seven or eighty eight. He and Xu Sheng jumped out of the bullock cart together. Coming to the outside of Pengcheng and shouting loudly: "Listen to the people in the city. Mou is an old friend of your prefect. The surname is Zang Mingba. Open the door quickly and let me wait to enter the city."
The answer to him was a mess of arrows. If not, both of them have some abilities. Dodge in time. Almost shot into a hedgehog.
Xu Sheng sighed fiercely at the head of the city. Turning around, he said, "Brother Zang. I don't think you are thinking about old friends anymore. Pengcheng seems to be unable to get in. Why don't you join me in Wu Jun and join Mr. Mi."
These days. The two stayed together all day. We are familiar with each other. Talk to each other casually. Zang Ba was willing to take refuge in Cao Cao. but. Now he has no soldiers in his hands. I don't know whether Cao Cao would accept him. Desperate. I had no choice but to say: "That's all. Let's go to Guangling and see before talking."
Close the county gates. Don't let the people who are fleeing in. It was indeed an order from Ruo Rong. Ruorong knew the combat effectiveness of these soldiers under him. Shou Shoucheng don't know if it can do it. Not to mention going to a field battle with Cao Jun. This is no longer a time of peace. Although the city can withstand the enemy's momentary attack. But the materials in each city are limited. One more person consumes one more. He naturally refused to let the fleeing people into the city.
Xu Sheng and Zang Ba got in the bullock cart again. Bypass Pengcheng. It's getting late. Came to a manor.
Zang Ba said: "Xu Zhuangshi. You and I can go to Zhuangzi to spend the night."
Although they have a bullock cart. But these days I can't get into the city. Can only sleep in the wilderness. Xu Sheng really wanted to find a place to sleep well. Immediately agreed. but. As soon as they entered Zhuangzi. It's greeted. It was also a scene of chaos. People are also busy packing up. Ready to escape.
original. This is Zhang Zhao's Zhuangzi. He took his family to live in Zhuangzhong a few days ago. As a result, rumors spread. It is said that Cao Jun is going to commit the crime in a big way. Next. The gates of all counties were closed tightly. No one is allowed to enter or leave. They can't go back even if they want to go back to the city.
this circumstance occurs. Zhang Zhao never thought of it. He couldn't help fidgeting. It's better if it's in the city. After all, there is a tall city wall blocking it. The government will also transfer Ding Zhuang to guard the city. Maybe it can be resisted for a while. but. His manor is not good enough. There is not even a fence. How can I withstand thousands of troops.
Zhang Zhao also thought about fleeing. One is that the homeland is hard to leave. The second is the hardship of family business. In a dilemma. I heard that two people came from Zhuang Shang to stay. At first sight. Shocked and said, "Isn't this the prefect of Langya, Lord Zang Ba Zang?"
Zang Ba also knew Zhang Zhao. Know that he is a celebrity in Xuzhou. With a bitter smile on his face, he said, "Zang is not an adult anymore. It's just a fleeing person. I hope Mr. Zhang will take him in."
After listening to the narration of Zang Ba and Xu Sheng. Zhang Zhao was also embarrassed. He didn't know that Zang Ba had ever thought of surrendering Cao Cao. Just know that this person still has some abilities. If he is in Langya. Cao Cao might not be able to attack easily. When Tao Qian entered Xuzhou. Once sent someone to ask Zhang Zhao to come out to help. But Zhang Zhao felt that Tao Qian could hardly make a big difference. Therefore did not agree. Now he has seen him destroy the Great Wall. I admire how wise my original decision was.
Zhang Zhao has secretly made up his mind. We will flee to Wu Jun with them. Although a few days ago. He also heard that Mi Zhu had set up a refugee camp in Wu County. But he is still not sure that the news is true. Now that these two people have said the same. Maybe it really happened. but. Even if there is no refugee camp. The Zhang family also has a lot of money in this manor. Although less than one-tenth of the entire Zhang family's property. But it's better than too many people like Zang Ba and Xu Sheng who are almost penniless. Since even they dare to go to Wu Jun. How can I not go for my own family
and. The arrival of Zang Ba and Xu Sheng. Zhang Zhao also relieved his worries. Although Zhang Zhao had many slaves in this manor. but. There are not many who can really use knives and guns. And as it is today, there is chaos. The thieves are rampant. Legend has it that there are countless water bandits and mountain bandits in the Jiangnan area. I am a big son. Bring a lot of belongings. It is inevitable that they will not fall into the eyes of those thieves. Now that I have these two people, I am not afraid. Zang Ba was able to hurry to the Yellow Turban. Needless to say Wu Yi. And Xu Sheng also looked like a powerful force.
I heard that Zhang Zhao is willing to go south with them. And Zhang Zhao also knew Mi Zhu. Xu Sheng was naturally extremely happy. Thus. There was no hindrance to the refugee camp. Zang Ba groaned: "It's just that Mr. Mi's refugee camp is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Nowadays. There are so many people who have fled. I'm afraid it will not be easy to find a boat by then. Crossing the river is really difficult."
Zhang Zhao thought for a while. Said: "Zhang has a close friend. Also surnamed Zhang. The single name is a Hong character. He is from Guangling. Maybe there is a way to get a boat. It is better to go to Guangling to vote for him first. Then I will discuss the matter of crossing the river. Two people What do you think."
Zhang Hong is also a celebrity in Xuzhou. Zang Ba and Xu Sheng had also heard about it for a long time. And to this point. They are desperate. How could he not agree to Zhang Zhao. But where do you know. Zhang Zhao has made up his mind. Use them both as bodyguards.
No words for a night. Early the next morning. Zhang Zhao let people lead two majestic horses. Handed it over to Zang Ba and Xu Sheng and said, "This is left here by the Jingzhou Army. Quan and serves as a mount for the two. I have my own equipment in this village. The two choose each. Let's get on the road. "
Zang Ba and Xu Sheng also knew that the road would not be peaceful in the past. Naturally, I am grateful. Wait for them to change clothes. When they each carried their swords and guns and stepped on their horses. A young man suddenly rode his horse and came to them. He said: "Two generals. This horse is not ridden like this."
Zang Ba was taken aback. Immediately he laughed and said, "Zang has practiced riding and shooting since he was a child. Now he wants a little doll to teach him how to ride horses. Isn't it funny? Haha..."
Zhang Zhao shouted from the side: "Cheng'er Xiu is rude."
That boy was Zhang Cheng, Zhang Zhao's eldest son. Although he was drunk by Zhang Zhao. But his face was unconvinced. Throwing away the reins with both hands. Put a horse belly on your legs. He even performed riding skills in front of Zang Ba and Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng already knew that this boy was Zhang Zhao's son. Seeing that he was really good at riding. He couldn't help but praised: "Unexpectedly, Zhang Gongzi is young. But he has such riding skills. I must have practiced since childhood."
Zhang Cheng galloped around with a horse. Has returned to them. Hearing Xu Sheng's words. He smiled and said: "Don't hide the truth from the two generals. I only practiced horse riding for less than a month."
Zang Ba didn't believe him: "Young Master Zhang is joking. Even if he is quite talented in this area. Without three or five years of effort, he can't achieve such a skill."
Zhang Zhao listened to them complimenting his son. Also stroked his beard with satisfaction. He smiled and said, "Inuzi didn't say anything. He did practice riding a horse more than a month ago. The trick in this is on the two hoops under the saddle."
Zang Ba and Xu Sheng looked down. There are really two iron rings hanging under the saddle. They followed Zhang Cheng's appearance. Step into the hoop carefully with your feet. Control the horse again. Sure enough, it was much easier. He couldn't help but praised: "Mr. Zhang is really very human. He can come up with something like this."
Zhang Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "This is not what Zhang came up with. It is the original equipment of the Jingzhou Army. Let's hurry up on the road. I heard that Wu Jun is also under the control of the Jingzhou Army. Maybe it will be there again. There are other surprises."
at this time. Cao Cao's army has passed Langya. All the way to Xuzhou. Wherever he went, there were really corpses all over the field, blood flowing into rivers. Tao Qian heard the news. Anxiously broke out in a cold sweat. Jing Er fell ill.
His body was originally healed by Zhang Qing. It has improved a lot. But still need to pay attention to conditioning. Practice Wu Qin Xi diligently. It's just recent events that made him irritable and distraught. Wu Qin Xi has long been unable to practice calmly. Even meditation can't be done. to be frank. Tao Qian still cares more about the people below. Now I heard that it was because of a momentary mistake. Caused the death of tens of thousands of people. Suddenly angrily attacked his heart. Finally fell ill again. Can't get up.
Liu Bei stayed in Xiaopei for two years. This news is waiting. I thought I was treated by that little genius doctor. All my own plans fell through. Is planning to gradually grasp the military power of Xuzhou. Then forcibly seize the entire Xuzhou. That's why he would first provoke Tao Qian to send troops to pursue Zhang Liao. Take the opportunity to kill Sun Guan. Receiving Langya's soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, happiness came too suddenly. Tao Qian unexpectedly fell ill again. I knew it was such a result. He doesn't need to spend so much thought.
in fact. If it weren't for Liu Bei secretly used a trick to kill Cao Song. Also calculate Zang Ba and Sun Guan. The gateway to the north of Xuzhou was opened. How could Tao Qian suddenly fall ill.
Liu Bei heard the news of Tao Qian's illness. Did not go to visit immediately. Instead, he was sitting in the mansion that originally belonged to Mi Zhu. Waiting for Tao Qian's call. He can also take the initiative to visit. But he didn't plan to do that. because. he knows. After these two years of suffering. If Tao Qian once again proposed to give up the position of Zhou Mu. He must not be able to control himself. Then the good reputation he worked so hard to build is gone. and so. When his mind calmed down. He can't go.
but. Tao Qian didn't let Liu Bei wait long. Counted from when Liu Bei learned the news. But half an hour. Sun Gan appeared in this former Mi Mansion. In front of the current Liu Mansion. Jian Yong welcomed Sun Gan into the hall. I saw Liu Bei kneeling and burning incense there. There are words in the mouth. Something like praying.
Sun Qian was about to speak. But Jian Yong made a silent gesture toward him. Lead him to the door. He whispered: "Gongyou. Xuande Justice is praying for Ambassador Tao. It has been kneeling there for half an hour. Let's wait a little longer."
originally. For Liu Bei, Sun Qian did not take the initiative to visit Tao Qian for a long time. Quite a bit of criticism. Now I heard that Liu Bei has been praying for Tao Qian to burn incense. Can't help but feel that I blamed the good guys. Feel guilty. He also whispered: "Xianhe. Can you persuade Xuan Degong. Tao Shijun's time is running out. Waiting to see Xuandegong for the last time."
