The pursuit of Cao Cao was completely delayed because of this bamboo note, and by the time Tai Shici and Tao Qian reached an agreement, they had missed the best opportunity to pursue.
By the time Tao Qian reacted, Cao Cao's army had already withdrawn from Pengcheng County and retreated to Yanzhou, and it was difficult to pursue it at this moment.
Tai Shi Ci began to pack up, the army traveled, naturally there are still some trivial things to deal with, and there are still grain and grass to be consumed on the road to be escorted, Pengcheng's grain and grass before in order to avoid leaving too much grain and grass for Cao Cao after breaking the city, has been emptied, he needs Tao Qian to allocate enough grain and grass for him to go back, although it is not far from Qingzhou, but it also has to be a few days away, this time Tai Shi Ci brought 12,000 soldiers and horses to support, although there were many battles with Cao Cao, but the loss was not too much, and now there are still more than 10,000 people, so many people, people eat horses and chew, Even if it is a few days, there is a lot of food and grass needed.
Tao Qian is not stingy, Xuzhou is a grain production resort, the most important thing is grain and grass, in addition to the grain and grass required for the march, Tao Qian also gave another 100,000 stone grain and grass as a thank you gift, no matter how suspicious he was before, now Tai Shi Ci patted his ass and wanted to leave, which means that the previous doubts are self-defeating, Tao Qian has already understood in his heart that he is afraid that he is afraid of Lao Cao's discord plan, but he is a prince, naturally it is impossible to pull down his face to apologize, and only in this way to ease the contradiction between the two sides.
In fact, Tao Qian wants to fight for Zang Ba, after this battle, he can see that even if there are many soldiers and horses, if there are no one or two powerful generals in charge, it is still not strong, although there is some dirt between him and Zang Ba, but in troubled times, as a prince, there is not even a military general under his hand, and he has to ask for help, which makes Tao Qian very uncomfortable.
It's a pity that Zang Ba obviously doesn't know much about Tao Qian, no matter how he tries to win him over, Tai Shi Ci summons him, Zang Ba immediately packed up, took his men and horses and left with Tai Shi Ci, and Tao Qian, who was watching, could only sigh.
Looking at the mighty grain team, Zang Ba couldn't help grinning, looked at Tai Shici and said, "This Tao Qian is generous this time, 100,000 stones of grain and grass."
Tai Shi Ci nodded, looked at the mountain road in the distance, after this mountain road, it was the territory of Taishan County, and when he got there, he and Zang Ba were about to part ways, turned his head to look at Zang Ba and said: "Xuan Gao, I have something I want to say to you." ” "General, please."
Zang Ba sat on horseback, looked at Tai Shici, and probably knew what the other party was going to say.
"Xuan Gao's martial arts, the art of war, are not under me, it is rare to be a general, now the court is the time to employ people, His Majesty sent me out of the town of Qingzhou, but around Cao Cao, Tao Qian and Yuan Shao, are all heroes, Ci alone is difficult to support, I want to ask Xuan Gao to help me, his Majesty will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Ci will recommend to His Majesty."
Tai Shi Ci said solemnly.
Now although Zang Ba is entrenched in Taishan County, his name is not right, but he has a lot of soldiers and horses, and this time he was invited to resist Cao Cao, the combat power of the Taishan thieves also impressed Tai Shi Ci, worthy of the title of elite soldiers, coupled with the ability shown by Zang Ba himself, so that Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but have the heart to recruit.
He was entrusted by Liu Xie to help Kong Rong sort out the military affairs of Qingzhou, and at the same time assisted Gan Ning in establishing the Henghai Division, which can be regarded as a one-man position, and he is also very grateful for Liu Xie's trust in his heart, but when he really comes to this point, he can feel how heavy the burden on his shoulders is.
Yuan Shao in the north has to worry that Cao Cao in the Central Plains has been lobbying the Qingzhou generals recently, Tao Qian's side is an alliance, but this alliance really can't count on anything, and many times, he has to help in turn.
It is said that Tao Qian is a pure and thick man, but when he sees it today, he is very disappointed, think about it, a prince, has not paid tribute for a long time, and killed his father for no reason, how can such a character really be a good gentleman The Ganning Navy is newly built, this Navy is different from the infantry, it takes a long time to form combat effectiveness, and it cannot be counted on in a short period of time, and Tai Shici has only one person, even if Li Ru helps, in the face of this chaotic situation, it is also a thousand things, there is no manpower, he can only find a way to recruit.
Zang Ba is a good general, and the friendship and cognition established by the cooperation for several months have made Tai Shici very optimistic about Zang Ba, and now that he sees that the separation is imminent, he finally can't help but invite.
Whether it can be achieved or not, he will try his best to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, even if he fails in the end, there is a saying in front of His Majesty.
"This" Zang Ba heard this, and couldn't help but be silent, Qingzhou is a place of four wars, surrounded by enemies on three sides, if it weren't for Taishi Ci being appointed by the imperial court, in addition to Qingzhou, there is also the support of the imperial court, this time to support Xuzhou, he will definitely not get involved.
But it's just to help, form a good fate, that's all, although he is not a prince, but entrenched in Taishan County, there are tens of thousands of Taishan Kou under his command, and he also bears the hope of 100,000 Taishan people, now the situation in the Central Plains is chaotic, before the situation is clear, he will not put all his belongings on it.
Although the imperial court has mastered the righteousness, but after all, it is too far away, and the far water can't save the near fire, if one day, Qingzhou is captured by other princes, Tai Shici can pat his ass and leave, and return to the imperial court, he is the same general, but it is impossible for him Taishan County to move away with him.
Therefore, in the face of Tai Shici's invitation, Zang Ba could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "General Ziyi, don't force me, he will have a useful place in the future, just a letter, he will go to the soup and fire, Zang Ba is duty-bound, it's just" "Got it."
Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci sighed, after all, they had known each other once, and they had fought side by side, and at this moment, seeing that Zang Ba was unwilling to include Taishan County in Qingzhou, Tai Shi Ci could only nod helplessly.
"Naci will say goodbye first, but" Looking at Zang Ba, Tai Shici shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I don't want to meet Xuangao on the battlefield." ” "General Ziyi, rest assured, Qingzhou has a general for one day, and the tyrant will never touch half an inch."
Zang Ba said solemnly.
As for the future, if Tai Shici is no longer in Qingzhou one day, then this promise will be useless.
Tai Shi Ci didn't say anything, after the two armies arrived in Taishan County, they went their separate ways, Tai Shi Ci left 20,000 stone military salaries for Zang Ba, although this is a thank you gift to Kong Rong, but as the top general of Qingzhou, this right, Tai Shi Ci still has.
Yanzhou, Chengyang.
A villa located in the west of Chengyang, Liu Bei is sitting opposite Chen Gong, there is a small table in the middle, a pot of wine is boiled on it, for Liu Bei, Chen Gong is still very satisfied, some skills, but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this person can carry things clearly, in the face of problems, can quickly judge the most beneficial direction for himself, and quite decisive.
Decisiveness, many times is the most important ability for the superior, and this person also has a lot of means, just look at these days, Chen Gong helped Liu Bei recruit a few talents in less than half a year, and he was convinced by Liu Bei, you can see that this person is quite talented in the way of the emperor.
"Big Brother" In the sound of hurried footsteps, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came in from outside the courtyard, came straight to the two of them, didn't look at Chen Gong, and bowed directly to Liu Bei.
"Yun Chang, Yide, why don't you pay a salute to the public stage" Liu Bei's face sank, and he was a little displeased.
"He" Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Gong, and snorted coldly: "Cao Cao has already withdrawn from the army, if we had waited for the trouble before, there would still be a few chances of victory, but now, Cao Cao will be back soon, how can we still have a chance" "The public station has its own reasons."
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei helplessly, turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said, "The public platform is not strange, Yide is anxious, and he didn't mean to collide." ” "It doesn't matter."
Chen Gong waved his hand, turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and said, "I know that Yide blames me for dissuading the lord from postponing the use of troops, and missed this opportunity, but Yide can know it, but now it is not a good opportunity." ” "Then Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, and the interior was empty, how could it not be a good opportunity" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.
"Cao Cao is short of food and grass, long before he set out on the expedition, I expected that he would return in vain."
Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Isn't this a good thing," Zhang Fei felt a little confused when he listened.
"For Tao Gongzu, it is naturally a good thing, but for us, Cao Cao's lack of food and grass is not a good thing."
Chen Gong shook his head and smiled.
"Can you finish the words at one time" Zhang Fei glared, every time he talked to this Chen Gong, he could hold back his illness.
"Cao Cao's strength is great, Tao Qian is invincible, and if he finds that there is a shortage of grain and grass, he will definitely withdraw his army."
Chen Gong said with a smile: "The vitality is not damaged, the morale is high, if our army is in trouble at this time, won't it be right against Cao Cao, who is in the prime of the army, Yide thinks that we have a few chances of winning."
"Why can't you win" Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, don't you look down on my brother" "The two generals both have the courage of ten thousand people, and the palace will not have such intentions."
Chen Gong shook his head helplessly: "It's just that General Yide knows that under Cao Cao, there are 50,000 divisions of hundreds of battles, and our army is now only 8,000 soldiers and horses, and they are not trained, let alone go through a battle, the two generals have the courage of 10,000 people, with these soldiers and horses, how can they resist Cao Cao's army of 50,000 tigers and wolves."
"It's just that if you recruit more soldiers and horses, it will inevitably be noticed by Cao Cao."

Guan Yu frowned and said, these 8,000 soldiers and horses, scattered all over the place, Cao Cao can't detect it, if he moves again, it will inevitably leak the traces, it is better to fight at this time, as long as he can block Cao Cao's round of attacks, after Cao Cao's food is exhausted, the army of 50,000 tigers and wolves will naturally collapse without a fight.
"The palace estimates that the grain and grass in Cao Cao's army can last for at least half a month."
Chen Gong shook his head: "Eight thousand soldiers and horses, it is impossible to garrison all the cities, if it is concentrated in one place, Cao Cao avoids not fighting, and instead subdues other counties, the total amount of grain and grass is not a problem, if the eight thousand soldiers and horses are scattered, how can Cao Cao be able to block the counterattack" "Don't worry, everyone."
Chen Gong said with a smile: "Although this battle is retreated, after Cao Cao raises enough grain and grass, he will inevitably attack Xuzhou again, this time is enough for us to make enough preparations, and at that time, it is the best time for us to occupy this place." ” "The soldiers and horses," Guan Yu asked with a frown.
"The palace has its own way."
Chen Gong sighed helplessly, this is also Liu Bei's weakness, there are only more than a thousand people under his command, this person can't do anything at all, and now he can only rely on him to find a way. t1706231537:
