Lu's relatives

Chapter 447 Zang Ba curses, Tao Gen is rampant

Various legends about Qin Xu are not uncommon on the ground in Xuzhou.Heroes are also admired these days. As a Danyang soldier who once guarded the first army in Xuzhou, for his former boss, he received the yellow scarf, broke the Kanxuan, won Xuzhou, saved the emperor, and defeated Xiliang bandits to become a marquis in Xuzhou. The deeds, spread by caring people, are also familiar.

What's more, many Danyang soldiers in Guangling City also followed Qin Xu to experience the battles with the Yuan family of the Zhong family and the Sun family of Jiangdong. Therefore, when Qin Xu's guard of honor arrived, he hadn't made any moves yet, which made the people in Guangling City Danyang rebels, there was a little riot.

In fact, Qin Xu treated Danyang Bing very well.When in Xiapi, the military supplies were all based on the standards of the Flying Cavalry and Xiaoqi Battalions of soldiers in the front-line battle sequence of the Lu Bu Army in Qingzhou; and Cao Bao, the commander of the Danyang Army at that time, was really thinking about his own cheap son-in-law, and for the first time, he did not cut back. The amount of food and fodder that the Danyang soldiers actually had in their hands was more than double what Tao Qian had given before.This also became the reason why the pottery merchants used Tao Qian's Danyang soldier talisman, but only tricked a small number of Danyang soldiers who paid great attention to the relationship between villagers and neighbors to defect to Xiapi.These years the world is in chaos, soldiers eat food, and the matter of repaying kindness and revenge, each has a benchmark in everyone's heart.

"Brother Tao, my lord... oh no, Qin...Xuzhou is wearing a full guard of honor, and it is only less than... ten miles away from Guangling County!" The news that Qin Xu led his troops here finally came from the Danyang soldiers who were guarding the city wall When he found out, he rushed to Tao Gen who had instigated the rebellion of all the Danyang soldiers in one fell swoop.

"Wh... what? Qin... Qin Xu is here! How long has it been?" Tao Gen, who was drinking in the Guangling prefect's mansion that originally belonged to Chen Deng, couldn't help throwing the wine glass far away, his eyes wide open. Staring straight at the Danyang Bingxiaowei who came to report the letter, he asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's true! There may not be tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers all over the mountains and plains. Brother Tao, you should think of a way!" The captain of the Danyang soldier stuttered a little!It was really hard for Tao Gen to believe that this well-known ruthless character in the army in front of him had once single-handedly killed more than ten soldiers during the battle against Yuan Shu, and was promoted to be a captain of the Danyang Army because of his meritorious service. , to be so afraid of such a "weak" person like Qin Xu.But what Tao Gen didn't realize was that even he himself, after hearing the news that Qin Xu had arrived and was not discovered until ten miles away from Guangling City, behaved in a panic, and even couldn't hold the wine glass firmly in his hand. the facts.

"What are you afraid of! Didn't Qin Xu say when he was in command of Xuzhou that all Xuzhou soldiers can go or stay as they please! Never force it! Now that Danyang's hometown has suffered repeated military disasters, it is urgent for me to return to the army to defend it. Go out of the way, with his Qin Xu's words before, there's nothing I can do about it, unless he, Qin, thinks that he's contradicting what he says, and is... a capricious villain!" Tao Gen suppressed his face. Looking at the panic on the table, he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Besides, don't we still have Cao Bao as our trump card. Although Cao Bao is not very capable, he is also Lu Bu's father-in-law. Qin Xu, as Lu Bu's son-in-law, How can he be unscrupulous? Zhou... Cough cough, haven't you heard that it's called a mouse-throwing weapon! Qin Xu didn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fight the Xuzhou governor's honor guard in ten miles. This is... ...Yes! This is because he has a guilty conscience!"

"Yes..." I don't know if the reason in Tao Gen's words convinced the Danyang soldier, or if he believed what Tao Gen said at the beginning, and the fact that someone spread Danyang County was ruined by Yuan Shu is now ten thousand years old. The tragic situation of more than one household aroused the weakness of these Danyang soldiers who had a deep-rooted concept of kinship and nostalgia. Since the captain of the Danyang soldier passed on Tao Gen's words, many Danyang soldiers have indeed stabilized because of Qin Xu. The arrival of the army and the restless military spirit.

The Danyang soldiers were originally one of the veteran elite soldiers in the world. Tao Qian relied on them to determine the five counties of Xuzhou.Although this time he was "forced" to turn against the former master, but in the face of the enemy, he also showed the demeanor of the Danyang elite soldiers who once shocked the world.With Tao Gen's order, the entire city of Guangling County was under martial law. Except for the [-] soldiers who remained on the wall of Guangling County, which was not very big, the entire army was mobilized almost immediately and formed a formation outside the city.

After all, he has been working with the Qingzhou soldiers for more than a year. Although the two armies do not interact much with each other on weekdays, from the actions of the Danyang soldiers, it can be seen that Tao Gen, the current "leader" of the Danyang soldiers, is dealing with the Qingzhou soldiers. There is still some understanding of tactics.The walls of the small city of Guangling County are thin, which is not conducive to defending at all. If you hoard troops in the city, although the number of soldiers far exceeds that of Qingzhou soldiers, it is tantamount to tying your own hands and feet. Only by going out of the city to fight in the field can we give full play to the field capabilities of the Danyang soldiers and revitalize the way out.

Tao Gen's idea was very good, and his tactics were correct, but he overestimated the face of Danyang soldiers.Although these Danyang soldiers have raised their banners to rebel, after all, they have eaten Qin Xu's military rations for two years in name. It can be seen from the fact that they refused to harm Guangling County. In fact, these Danyang rebels still feel a little guilty. Yes, it wasn't until Qin Xu's big beetle could be seen from a distance that he barely set up a formation on the vast plain outside Guangling County. It was obvious that Qin Xu's Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers' overall morale was not very good. high.

"It's Danyang Tao Gen! I'm the leader of the Danyang army, please come forward and answer the envoy of Qin!" Tao Gen still had some tricks.Otherwise, he would not be elected as the "temporary" leader of the Danyang soldiers.Seeing that the number of Danyang soldiers accounted for the vast majority and were continuously sending troops from the city to the two wings, the number of Danyang soldiers gradually increased, and the previous anxiety in my heart was gradually replaced by a strange feeling.As Tao Qian's relative, Tao Gen also had some understanding of how Qin Xu was in command of Xuzhou back then.From Tao Gen's point of view, the reason why Tao Qian was "forced" to exchange the land of Xuzhou for the safety of the Tao clan was to a large extent due to Yuan Shu's overwhelming forces and his own lack of strength. Only then did Qin Xu take advantage of it.Think about it carefully, if it is really about combat power, the Danyang soldiers, who are veterans of the world, may not be weaker than these Qingzhou soldiers who have formed an army not long ago, but were just a group of bandits.Furthermore, the current situation is very similar to today's situation, except that now Tao Gen is the one who has the superior force, as long as Qin Xu can suffer even a small loss here, it's nothing to say It can't reproduce the prestige of the Tao clan in Xuzhou, but it can also "help" Tao Gen's development to a large extent.Whoever has the biggest fist in these years will have the higher initiative in speaking power, maybe the "that person" behind him, after seeing his "ability", will return Xuzhou to the Tao clan's control Maybe.After all, the foundation of "that person" is in Jiangdong. In a short period of time, he may not have the strength and ability to stretch his hand too far, let alone confront Lu Bu head-on.And this is exactly his opportunity for Tao Gen.At any rate, he was from a wealthy family, and with the confidence that he had tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers in his hands, Tao Gen might not be afraid of anyone, as long as he could occupy Qingzhou to supply blood to Qingzhou before the news that Lu Bu, who was "trapped" in Jizhou, returned to his army. In Xuzhou, who can deny that the world might not be without Tao Gen?

How else can you say that if you don't die, you won't die.After Tao Gen was taken aback by the thought in his mind at first, he felt more and more that his thought was very "reasonable".The more I thought about it, the more itchy my heart became. When facing Qin Xu's army approaching, I was not as hopeless as before.Thinking about how Qin Xu still had scruples in his hands after all, Tao Gen was sure that Qin Xu would never dare to do anything to him before he got the confirmation of Cao Bao's life and death. , directly called for Qin Xu to come out and answer.

"It's interesting!" Qin Xu tilted his head and said to Zang Ba.Tao Gen's call made Qin Xu feel a little strange.He had thought about what would happen to him when he met the Danyang soldiers, but he did not expect that Tao Gen, who called himself the "leader" of the Danyang soldiers, would have such a weird move that he would directly ask himself to answer.Qin Xu regretted for a moment why he let Cao Xing take away all the archers he trained.Even if there is only one person here, it would be much easier to shoot an arrow at this idiot who dared to fight alone.

"Could it be that Qin Shijun has no guts to come forward and answer?" Tao Gen saw that he had shouted for a long time, but he just silently watched the Qingzhou soldiers on his side, and no one answered. The hesitation flashed in his heart, but He shouted even more arrogantly.He was so proud that many of the Danyang soldiers behind him showed disdain.

The son of a daughter can't stand in the hall, and the so-called fighting generals mostly exist in the usual bragging, which is rarely seen in front of the two armies. What's more, everyone knows that Xuzhou governor Qin Xu is a weak person, how can there be such a thing? The reason for answering blindly.He didn't even know this bit of common sense, so he brazenly claimed to be the leader of the Danyang army, and the rest of the fellow Danyang fellows felt blush at this moment.

The self-satisfied Tao Gen laughed wildly for a while when the two armies were silent, but no one responded, and he also felt a sense of disharmony.Although it was really strange that Qingzhou soldiers didn't attack right away, it didn't make Tao Gen feel any abnormality. After all, the number of soldiers on his side was more than half of that. I heard that Qin Xu acted cautiously. Although there were not many battles, but they were not defeated, they must have scruples, but I have nothing to say; but the same is true for soldiers under their command in name like their own, but it made Tao Gen feel a little embarrassed.As early as when the captain of the Danyang army came to report Qin Xubing's arrival, Tao Gen clearly felt that the morale of these comrades who had joined the rebellion at the beginning was not very high after the news spread that Qin Xu's army had arrived here.Tao Gen understood that many Danyang soldiers still felt a little guilty towards Qin Xu who had never done anything wrong to them.But in Tao Gen's mind, no matter what, as long as the two armies face each other, it will be a life-and-death struggle, and he can't help but have other ideas. This is why Tao Gen dared to provoke with words first, but, Looking at it now, the effect does not seem to be very ideal.

"Where is the mad dog barking here? Tell your uncle Zang your name in human language?" Just when Tao Gen couldn't advance or retreat, and suddenly felt that he couldn't get off the stage, a voice from the Qingzhou army was very "kind" to Tao Gen Gen broke the siege, although the verbal sarcasm almost made Tao Gen lose his breath, but after all, it also broke the scene of a one-man show, so that Tao Gen would not be so embarrassing or embarrassing as a clown.

"Zang Ba is so daring! You are just a Taishan thief, and relying on the power of your father's family to join the army, what face do you have to answer in front of our generals! Call Qin envoy...cough, Qin Xu come up to answer!" Tao Gen naturally knew the several deputy commanders of Qingzhou soldiers who were often in Xuzhou, and Tao Gen was able to confirm that Zang Ba must know himself.After all, the Danyang soldiers were Tao Qian's private soldiers before. After the Tao merchant abducted more than one-third of the Danyang soldiers for Yuan Shu, Cao Bao, the commander of the Danyang soldiers, also noticed the special nature of the Tao clan among the Danyang soldiers. Moreover, after Cao Bao realized that he was re-appointed by Lu Bu as the commander of the Danyang soldiers, his ability to control the Danyang soldiers had declined a lot due to the previous incident. The clan mentioned a higher position to consolidate its influence on Danyang soldiers.Before that, Zang Ba "replaced" Cao Bao in charge of the Danyang soldiers for a period of time, so how could he not know that he had already had a considerable influence on the Danyang soldiers at that time.

"Tsk tsk... Why is this dog barking getting harsher and harsher! How could such a thing come out of the famous Danyang soldiers? The former Xuzhou Mu Taogong is such a righteous person, if he knows that such a person has appeared in his clan If it harms Xuzhou, which he worked so hard to manage, I don't know if I will talk to you in detail at night!" Zang Ba slowly pulled his horse out of the battle, and said calmly.

Tao Gen's intention was to anger Zang Ba. As long as Zang Ba couldn't help but make the first cut, no matter how guilty the Danyang soldiers behind him were towards Qin Xu, they would have to fight desperately with the Qingzhou soldiers to protect themselves. The purpose of Gen is also achieved.Unexpectedly, Zang Ba didn't take Tao Gen's provocative words seriously at all.In fact, Tao Gen really picked the wrong place to say that, if he said this in front of Lv Bu's frontline battle order, Zang Ba would really get angry.But the current situation is that if we talk about the previous background, the [-] Qingzhou soldiers present here were from real Yellow Turban soldiers, and they were serious Yellow Turban bandits; , and it will not have much effect on Zang Ba.Although everyone knows that the chief officer here, Qin Xu, came here entirely by relying on a few terrific military achievements, but after all, there is a father-in-law who is known as the world's most powerful general and has only one daughter. No matter what, I can't take it off in this life.General Qin didn't care, and although Zang Ba's father was the number one person in Qingzhou's government affairs department, after all, his official position was only Qingzhou Sima, and his rank was only a thousand stones. Strictly speaking, compared with his highly qualified Qingzhou soldier deputy Commander, Qin Xu specially stated that the "imperial court" confers a rank lower than the two thousand stone riding captain, Zang Ba can't wait for someone to speak out from time to time, how can he listen to Tao Gen's ears? Do you listen to words that are obviously compliments as insults?
"Hmph! Could it be that Qin Xu's subordinates are all thick-skinned people like Xiang Er? Do you have the guts to fight with your army?" Seeing Zang Ba's grinning expression, Tao Gen felt as if It was as if a punch had hit the cotton, and there was no effort, and the chest was very tight.He simply tore up his face and called out directly. He only hoped that Zang Ba would respond immediately, and then Tao Gen would be done.

"Is there such a shameless person like you in the world?" Unexpectedly, Zang Ba was not fooled at all, as if the army behind him was not brought to fight, or ignored Tao Gen's provocation, but seemed to be fooled by Tao Gen Pointing to the Danyang army formation that is several times larger than his own, he yelled: "Previously, Tao Xuzhou, adhering to the righteousness, expressly handed over Xuzhou to the Qin envoy, and the whole world knows You, as Tao Xuzhou's pro-army, disobeyed the lord's will, how can you say justice? The Qin envoy has the merit of saving him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally appointed the Xuzhou governor, the general who conquered the east, and ruled Qing, Xu, Yu, and Yang. How can you say you are loyal? Since Qin Shijun took over Xuzhou, has the military food and military salary been one point less than yours? Armors and equipment may have been deducted from you a little, but you waited to hold Xuzhou The salary of Xuzhou, armed with weapons in Xuzhou, turned his head into chaos in Xuzhou, and now the soldiers are pointing at the benefactor, what is benevolence? The Qin envoy heard that there was chaos in the east of the river, and he traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to the general to quell the chaos. Rescue your hometown, but you listen to the words of the villain, secretly detain yourself from the army, rebel and rebel, obstruct the elders of your hometown who are suffering from ambition and ravages, and hinder the rebel army here, how can you talk about filial piety? Danyang elite soldiers? Hmph! What an elite soldier from Danyang! Raising a dog is better than you knowing how to repay kindness! If Mr. Qin hadn't told me and the Qingzhou barracks officer several times that you were just being deceived by villains and intending to stir up hatred between Xuzhou and Yangzhou, you would have misunderstood From the bandits, I can’t say, I waited for the soldiers of the Qingzhou Barracks, and I have already drawn your sword against a group of unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous thieves! I also tolerated you, a thief who was trapped in the same clothes and fellow countrymen. Bark here! Pooh!"

If you talk about scolding, Zang Hong used a stick to read books before, and he "colluded" with Taishan bandits when he was in the market, so how could he be afraid of Tao Gen, who came from a wealthy family? As soon as he exited, Tao Gen was almost blocked and speechless, and the Danyang soldiers who were a little bit angry because of the fierceness of Qingzhou soldiers before, at this moment, many people were indignant and lowered their heads .

"Hmph! Zang Ba! Don't you have to show off your tongue here! Do you dare to fight against a certain one?" Tao Gen naturally saw the scene in his own army, and his heart jumped. Zang Ba, who was born as a thief, has such a good eloquence. Tao Gen is also deeply afraid that if Zang Ba continues to talk like this, there will be many Danyang soldiers who have not yet lost their conscience. , said angrily and pointed at Zang Ba.

"Huh?" Zang Ba really didn't expect that Tao Gen would catch the real fire in just a few words without saying anything.But the problem is that the "things" that Qin Xu explained have not been completed yet, how could Tao Gen provoke the two armies to fight so easily.While Zang Ba was staring at Tao Gen with contemptuous eyes, he was muttering in his heart.Suddenly, in Guangling City behind the Danyang rebel army, a puff of smoke rose into the sky at some unknown time, and there was also a commotion behind the Danyang army formation.

"Ah! Not good!" Tao Gen naturally also noticed the abnormal state of the army. He turned his head to look at the waiter, but his eyes widened violently, and he yelled loudly, and the long sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.In Guangling County, the place where the long smoke rose straight up because of the lack of wind, wasn't it the place where Tao Gen's biggest reliance on his life, Lv Bu's father-in-law Cao Bao, was imprisoned!
