Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 24 023, Zhuge Gui's edge

Taishan County City is not far from Mount Tai, it can be said to be very close.

Zang Ba had just returned to the mountain and had just settled everything, when someone in his confidant came to report that Liu Bei's messenger had arrived.

Zang Ba was suddenly puzzled.

It took only half a day, why did you send a messenger here, what happened?

When Liu Bei's messenger came in, he opened Liu Bei's letter and read it.

Zang Ba immediately understood.

Zang Ba was very excited about Liu Bei's arrangement.

This guy doesn't have a good impression of powerful landlords in his heart, and Zang Ba is naturally happy to see it happen if he can make them bleed.

It's just that Zang Ba didn't order troops to go out immediately.

After all, he had just returned, and sending troops at this time must be full of complaints.

Therefore, it was not until the second day that Zang Ba mobilized his troops and headed straight for Taishan County.

Previously, Zang Ba also attacked Taishan County, but because of the existence of Yu Jin and Bao Xin, he did not capture it.

This time, Zang Ba made a gesture of not giving up until the county was taken, and directly pulled out [-] soldiers and horses to besiege Taishan County.

Most of these [-] are young and strong, and the old and weak, women and children are all left in Mount Tai.

Although most of these people have not received training, the momentum of 5 people is overwhelming.

Both Bao Xin and Yu Jin were well-informed soldiers, and they received the news from the scouts when Zang Ba came down Mount Tai.

In the prefect's mansion, the three of them all had serious expressions on their faces.

"It seems that Zang Ba really wants to take down the county this time. The [-] soldiers are all young and strong, and they are more powerful than the previous few times. Can Captain Bao and Wen Ze be sure to hold the county? "

Bao Xin looked at Yu Jin, the last few times he defended the city was basically relying on Yu Jin to defend.

At this time, of course, it still depends on Yu Jin.

Yu Jin has always been resolute and stable, and never speaks loudly.

He thought for a while and said, "This time Zang Ba is different from the past. He doesn't bring the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but only the young and strong. With his [-] Xuanwu soldiers, it may be very difficult to hold the county city. It may take the strength of the powerful people in the city. .”

At this time, Taishan County did not have many troops. There were three thousand soldiers in the county, and Bao Xin's one thousand soldiers and horses were added, and it was only four thousand.

When Zang Ba attacked the county city earlier, there was also a loss, but it was made up by Zhuge Gui and Bao Xin.

It's not that they don't want to pull out more soldiers and horses, it's that the powerful people in the county don't support it.

These tyrants only care about the interests of their own families. If it is not true that the county is about to fail, they will definitely not contribute.

At most, it is just to take out a little food for show.

Their purpose of doing this is very clear, just to grab more benefits from the government at critical moments.

Such as land, population, official position and so on.

In fact, among the three present, Bao Xin was the most powerful.

Although Zhuge Gui's family background is extraordinary, but their Zhuge family started from their ancestor Zhuge Feng, and they learned the techniques of Legalism, of course they are also Confucianism on the surface.

Their family's property is not much, so it is inevitable to have no worries about food and clothing, but if you want to talk about how much land you have and how many private soldiers you can pull out, that is nonsense.

In a word, Zhuge's family is shallow.

Moreover, the hometown of Zhuge's family is in Langya County, not Taishan County.

Therefore, among the three, only Bao Xin had the strength to pull out one or two thousand troops.

But Bao Xin has already contributed a thousand soldiers and horses, and if he is asked to contribute, the family will not be able to pass the test.

Zhuge Gui sighed and said to Bao Xin: "Captain Bao, the Haoqiang side still needs you to deal with it, let them pay more money, food, soldiers and horses, I don't think they want to see the county city being breached Bar."

Bao Xin nodded: "Don't worry, the county city, I will deal with the powerful side, but you also know the nature of these people, if there is no benefit, I am afraid they will not definitely do it."

Zhuge Gui, who has always been gentle, showed a sharp edge at this time: "You just say that I agree to their conditions, but if you make further progress, don't blame me, Zhuge Gui, for not being sympathetic. Haven't heard of it."

Zhuge Gui's words were murderous and cold.

Bao's confidence suddenly jumped.

Good guy, I have always heard that Zhuge's family has the essence of Legalism. It used to be a rumor, but now it seems that it is probably true.

Bao Xin didn't dare to underestimate this Juncheng, who seemed gentle and gentle on weekdays. Maybe this guy really dared to lead the county soldiers to do some extreme things.

At that time, it's really hard to clean up.

Although Zhuge's family doesn't seem to have much property, but their connections are not built.

The ancestor Zhuge Feng was the captain of Sili in the Western Han Dynasty, and it has been passed down for two or three hundred years. For such a long time, the disciples, old officials, in-laws and relatives have long formed a big network.

Even if Zhuge Gui led his troops to slaughter a few small tyrants, with this net in place, it would probably be nothing in the end.

Therefore, Bao Xin didn't dare to be negligent, and was going to contact those tyrants, and let them contribute a little bit, at least to keep the county.

Yu Jin spoke again at this time: "Zhuge County City, Captain Bao, we still have someone to borrow at this time."

Hearing this, the two looked at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin nodded: "Liu Xuande's three thousand troops are just outside the city."

The two of them suddenly realized that they only thought about the strength of the troops in the city, and they didn't think of Liu Xuande for a while.

"This Liu Xuande defeated the [-] Yellow Turban army with [-], and he was still fighting in the field. It can be seen that he is very brave. If he is there to help out, the city will be safe."

Bao Xin hesitated: "Juncheng, we just refused to provide him with food and grass earlier, will he be willing to help us defend the city?"

Zhuge Gui thought for a moment: "In my opinion, Liu Xuande is a kind-hearted person who is devoted to the country and has a kind heart. In this critical time, he will definitely take action."

Although what Zhuge Gui said was very certain, Bao Xin felt that it was still not safe.

If he was rejected by someone on his front foot, he would be pulled over to defend the city on his back foot, and he absolutely refused.

However, it is not impossible.

Didn't he, Liu Xuande, want food and grass?

OK, then give it to him.
Give twice, you will always be satisfied.

As for where the food and grass come from, the county is powerful.

Originally, Bao Xin was a little worried about how to persuade them to send troops and food, but now it was all right, all they needed was food.

If you want to come to the county, Haoqiang must be willing.

The three of them had no doubt at all that Zang Ba was recruited by Liu Bei.

Because, in the previous conversation, they already knew that Liu Bei had fought with Zang Ba, and the fight was very fierce.

In addition, Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, how could such a person have anything to do with the Yellow Turban, isn't this a joke?

But they never imagined that Liu Bei had already transformed under Chen Yuan's brainwashing.
