Zang Ba was silent.

If there hadn't been General Fei Qian of the Hussars, perhaps there would be no need to think too much about this issue. As a general, Cao Cao had the power to control the court. Even if he knew that the son he sent out would become a hostage, he could only bow his head obediently and respectfully.

Send it to Yecheng.

Even though Cao Cao said that he was not a "hostage", he just established a new academy in Yecheng and invited promising young people of "appropriate age" to study together and make progress together...

Zang Ba had a hunch that if he really sent his children to Yecheng, in a few years, even if he could keep the inheritance in his hands, his children would not be able to afford it in the future!

Yecheng!

Zang Ba has some idea of ​​what his child is like. By then, he will probably become a weak scholar with no power. If he wants to lead an army again... Haha, I'm afraid he doesn't understand anything, he just knows a few things.

Just a verse!

But if you don't send it...

Xiahou and Cao's children have all gone, why can't Zang Ba's son go?

Sun Guan squatted aside and put his hands on his knees, "Why can't we stay here? We just want to be in our hometown... other places, they can take them if they like, and we won't stop them."

them……"

"Because he is afraid..." Zang Ba also sat down next to Sun Guan and looked into the distance, "He is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that we will rebel?" Sun Guan sneered, "We are not fools!"

Zang Ba nodded and said: "We are indeed not... but they think we are all..."

"We are not!" Sun Guan stared, "Why don't they believe it?!"

Zang Ba smiled bitterly, "Yes, why don't you believe it?"

In fact, this answer can be understood more or less in both people's minds.

Not a stranger.

Although Cao Cao has repeatedly emphasized that he is recruiting talented people from all over the world, the "talented people" under Cao Cao are more or less from some family backgrounds. They really have no background, or they are just like Zang Ba Sun Guan. Because of the Yellow Turban

The relationship between thieves and the characters who grew up under the opportunity of the storm cannot truly become their "own people".

To put it simply, under Cao Cao, the civilian side was the Yingchuan clan headed by Xun Yu, and the general side was basically the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Where was there any room for other people?

On the other hand, in Xijing, under the Qiusi, both civil servants and generals came from many places. Although the Jingxiang family may account for a slightly larger proportion, they are still much better than those under Cao Cao!

What's more, under the Hussar, there are a large number of children from poor families who can pass exams to obtain official positions. Instead of having to find people, have connections, and have connections to enter the department, otherwise, even if they are

Once you enter, you will soon be treated as an outcast, and you never know when you will be thrown out to pay for your sins.

Comparatively speaking, in Cao Cao, the "upper class" live happily, while in Fei Qian, the middle and lower class people have more opportunities...

If he really wanted to send his son somewhere, Zang Ba really thought it would be better to send him to Xijing than to Yecheng.

It's a pity that Qiusi doesn't seem to have much interest in Shandong.

At least not at the moment...

"Alas..." Zang Ba sighed.

Sun Guan turned his head and looked at Zang Ba, "What should we do now? Are we just dragging it out like this?"

"..." Zang Ba raised his head and looked in another direction, "Of course I can drag it, but I'm worried that I won't be able to drag it any longer..."

"Why?" Sun Guan asked.

Zang Ba didn't speak, just looked into the distance for a long time, and sighed again.

……(〒︿〒)……

Guangling is a relatively peripheral county in Xuzhou, because during the Han Dynasty, the coastline along the coast had not expanded so much, and some alluvial plains were still being formed, so Guangling was actually relatively close to the coastline and relatively remote.

.

To the north of Guangling is Xiapi, the base of the Chen family. It is a relatively important city, and it is also a prosperous place second only to the Xuzhou Prefecture.

In the age of cold weapons, water source was a very important factor. The army could not leave the water. Therefore, although the land to the north of Guangling was not compensated by the hills in the south of the Yangtze River, there were many hills and it was considered a relatively open area. However, for Sun's soldiers,

In other words, water sources are still indispensable, and attacking along the river is the safest choice.

That is, Huai River and Sishui River.

The important node on the Huai River is Guangling, and the node on the Surabaya River is Xiapi, and through the Yishui River, it connects Donghai County and Langya County. Now Guangling has been invaded by Sun Quan's army, and the war is about to extend to Xiapi

Pi, of course, sent countless messengers to report and ask for help, and they all headed towards Xu County and Yecheng.

Of course, among these messengers, there are also those who go to Donghai County to ask for help...

Zang Ba is the Prime Minister of Langya, and Chang Xi is the Prime Minister of East China Sea.

Letters from Xiapi requesting reinforcements were piled on Changxi's desk.

The city defense of Guangling was originally in disrepair. Sun's army advanced by land and water on board, and the buildings and boats arrived directly at the foot of Guangling City to assist in the attack. Even with the help of Man Chong, they could not hold it, and finally evacuated Guangling and retreated to Xiapi.

Then, on the other side of Changxi's desk, there was a letter from Yecheng, saying that the quality of education in Yecheng was very good, and that he wanted to invite Changxi's son to "visit and provide guidance"...

If I really go, I guess I’ll say goodbye forever, right?

The reason why Chang Xi and Cao Cao did not deal with each other before was because Cao Cao only gave Chang Xi a name but no specific things. At first, Chang Xi thought that he did not explain it clearly, or that he had given it to him by himself.

The report was still in the queue, but eventually I got really impatient with the wait, so after asking around and asking someone, I found out that Lao Cao had no intention of approving his application!

Not only Changxi's application, but also all Taishan Army's demands for territory from Dongguan to Langya, from Donghai to Chengyang, were invisible and unheard. Cao Cao had no intention of giving any support from the beginning to the end!

Of course, other aspects of Lao Cao’s classmate are actually tight, but the problem is, don’t people only know how to look at problems from their own perspective?

This made Chang Xi very disappointed.

Very, very disappointed, because Chang Xi thought that his status as Donghai Xiang meant that he had successfully cleared his name and landed ashore, but in fact, in the eyes of those people, he was not a local official worth two thousand dan, he was still a thief!

Taishan thief!

So even those people who know these places in Xuzhou and Qingzhou have suffered a certain amount of damage due to the previous wars, whether it is city defense, water conservancy, or Zhuanghe cultivated land, and these people also know that Changxi's applied craftsmen are

Repair for agricultural and mulberry water conservancy...

This is good for the people, right?

But because Chang Xi was a Taishan thief, he refused to approve it!

Therefore, there are other facilities in Donghai County's city defense, and the repair process is slow...

Chang Xi scolded Cao Cao countless times for this reason, and even almost got killed because of it.

Chang Xi was more or less aware of this. He even heard people say that Cao Cao originally wanted Zang Ba to come and kill him, but Zang Ba refused.

The reason, of course, is brotherhood...

Brother, what the hell!

Can brotherhood be used as food?

Is brotherhood more important, or is it the soldiers in one's hands that are more important? If there are no soldiers in one's hands, can brotherhood still save one's life?

Zang Ba was unwilling to take action because Zang Ba was not a fool. Everyone knew that this was just a divorce plan, and it was an open plan. Zang Ba and Chang Xi did not have a good relationship.

It's just a name for "Taishan Army", so if Zang Ba takes action, the situation that was still able to be maintained will immediately collapse!

The reverse is also true.

Chang Xi would not take action against Zang Ba. Even those who didn't understand the allusion of lip death and teeth cold would understand this truth. Regardless of whether the Taishan Army could get along with each other, at least they should be consistent externally, so that they could live stably.

But now, it's getting more and more troublesome...

Although it was said that Zang Ba refused, Chang Xi was murmuring in his heart, who knows if Zang Ba really refused?

What if...

So even though I knew it was a stratagem, there was already some distance in my heart.

Now, it's even more troublesome.

If we rescue Xiapi, it means that the troops in Donghai County will be empty, and Langya County is right next door. Who can guarantee that Zang Ba will not receive any orders again?

If you do not send troops to rescue Xiapi, it is almost equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Cao Cao. Regardless of whether Xiapi can be defended in the end, this crime will be serious. If it is not a minor offense like scolding Cao Cao a few times, it will be a serious crime.

When Cao Cao shouts to kill again, even Zang Ba may not be able to stop him...

what to do?
