Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 364 Mount Tutai

"Since you have become members of the Zhou clan, you have to share my worries and set an example for others. I am not afraid that people will say that I am selfish, but I would rather see you do things that will make me look good. In the past few years, Zhou Chong has done a good job in errands, and he has recruited many talents for Xuzhou. This is obvious to all. I am very relieved of your errands, but I hope you can make more achievements, so I sent you to Liaodong, where there is a greater scope for prowess."

"The head of the family has been waiting for me, but Zhou Xi can't share the worries of the head of the house, and feels guilty."

"Okay, there is no need to say guilt. Doing things well is the greatest reward for me. I heard from Zhou Chong that your wives are already married, and I will name your eldest son."

Zhou Xi burst into tears.

"I shouldn't have sent you to Liaodong at this time, but Liaodong really has a lot to do with it." Zhou Cang paused, staring at Zhou Xi and said, "There is no one now, so I might as well tell you first: maybe one day Xuzhou They will all be moved to Liaodong. Do you understand? Don't tell anyone about this!"

"Ah?" Zhou Xi was startled suddenly, then his responsibility was too great. "Patriarch, don't worry."

"Okay then, go to the academy to find Mr. Guan Ning." Zhou Cang waved his hand, "By the way, it's unfortunate that there are only orphans and widows left in the family. You can send your wife to your younger sister so that you can take care of each other."

"Yes." Zhou Xi withdrew in tears.Zhou Wen waited at the door for a long time, and sighed in his heart: My lord is really a good means, how can I not compete for the top of the world with this means?
"My lord, Xin Ping has been sent away. I wonder who the lord wants to send to convince Zang Ba?"

"Zang Ba is also a hero in the world. It is not easy to convince him. I have to do it myself."

"Ah? My lord wants to go to Mount Tai in person?"

"Hehe, that's not necessary. I want to invite Zang Ba. Tomorrow you bring the potters and brothers Tao Ying to see me."

Zang Ba’s life in Taishan was not satisfactory. Most of Taishan’s brothers were originally from grassroots and used to being free. After surrendering to Cao Cao, there were many more rules. Now they are huddled in one place and cannot rob their homes.He fought with Yuan Tan several times, but his brother was injured but Cao Cao didn't see any rewards.In short, very aggrieved.

Sun Guan has complained to him several times about Cao Cao's injustice, and only knows how to use them as spearmen. Sun Guan is also worried about how Cao Cao will treat them in the future. At least Xiahou Dun, who is guarding Yanzhou now, does not want to see Taishan soldiers.

On this day, Sun Guan came to Zang Ba again and said that the granary sent by Xuzhou this time was [-]% less than before.

"General, it's not okay to go on like this, how can the brothers have the strength to fight if they don't have enough to eat?" Sun Guan said.

Zang Ba sighed, "I'll send someone to send a letter to Mr. Zhou, asking him to think of a way. The autumn harvest will not be long, hold on, and take your brothers to hunt in the mountains to replenish some food."

The two were still discussing a plan, and they came to Malai to report: Qingzhou Yuan Tan personally commanded an army of [-], and generals Zhang Yan and Ma Kai were leading the way to Mount Tai.

"Yuan Tan is so brave, he dared to take the initiative to attack." Sun Guan was furious, "General, give me a team, and I will meet him."

"Don't underestimate Yuan Tan. We had the advantage because Pei Yuanshao was in Donglai to help me attack. We may not have the advantage in a direct confrontation. He is aggressive and prepared. Don't underestimate the enemy. Pass the order and stick to it everywhere." Zang Ba ordered, "Send another person to Xudu and Xuzhou to ask for help. Please Cao Sikong send troops to Qingzhou, and Zhou Shijun to rescue Mount Tai."

Yuan Tan received a report from Xin Ping, and the two of them, together with Guo Tuyi, believed that capturing Mount Tai would be beneficial to them. The only worry was that Zhou Cang would use himself to steal Mount Tai.Xin Ping believes that if Zhou Cang occupies Mount Tai, he will offend Cao Cao, so he will not do so.Guo Tu thought that Zhou Cang would not be able to get up early without profit, and he must have a plan. If Zhou Cangzhi was not in Mount Tai, he would be in Zang Ba and Zang Ba's soldiers.Yuan Tan believed that Zhou Cang wanted to show his goodwill to himself and consolidate the defense lines of the two companies so as to compete with Cao Cao.So the three of them decided to send troops, making a big noise but slowing down their attack.

Zang Ba did not wait for Zhou Cang's reinforcements, but welcomed the Tao brothers. "Ah, why are you brothers here? How have you been doing in Xuzhou?"

"TOEFL, we are fine. We have a vacancies job in Xuzhou. There is no shortage of money and food. We live a carefree life." Tao Ying said.

What he said was right, the two of them lived a comfortable life like a rich man, and they were the ones who lived the most comfortable life in Xuzhou. The most they had done over the years was that they each gave birth to seven or eight children.

Tao Shang said: "I heard that Yuan Tan sent troops to Mount Tai, Master Zhou is going to make peace with you, he has sent people to see Yuan Tan, and sent us two brothers to see the general, and would like to invite the general."

"Zhou Cang wants to invite me to Xuzhou?" Zang Ba asked in surprise.

"General, don't go to Xuzhou, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck!" Sun Guan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Zhou Cang is not that kind of person." The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "I have known Zhou Cang for more than [-] years, and he is not like Liu Bei in his honesty."

Tao Ying also said: "Exactly, Zhou Cang is the most righteous person I have ever seen. Without him, our two brothers and Xuzhou would not know what we would be like. It's not just the two of us, look at Mi Fang or Chen Deng Not reused."

Zang Ba bowed his head and remained silent. He didn't have much contact with Zhou Cang when he was in Xuzhou, but he was really good, and he was highly regarded by Tao Qian, but he couldn't leave Mount Tai at this time.

"Actually, the general doesn't need to go to Xuzhou. We left Xuzhou with Zhou Cang. He is waiting for the general at Mount Tai." The potter said again.

"Huh? That's good to see."

"General, I'll go with you and see what Zhou Cang says."

"Okay, prepare your horses immediately, and bring thousands of people with me to see Zhou Cang!"

In less than half a day, Zang Ba and Sun Guan came to the small stronghold that Zhou Cang set up temporarily. It seems that Zhou Cang only brought a hundred people with him.

"Zang Jiangjun and General Sun have passed for more than ten years, but the two generals still have the same demeanor." Zhou Cang greeted them out of the camp gate in person.

"What is Zhou Shijun talking about? Zhou Shijun is proud of guarding Xuzhou and winning Liaodong."

"Haha, please talk to the two inside the tent."

The three entered into the big tent and sat down together, only Sun Da accompanied Zhou Cang.

"I heard that the envoy of Zhou intends to make peace with me and Yuan Tan, but I don't know how the envoy intends to make peace?" Zang Ba asked directly.

"I want to ask the general, what have you been doing for more than ten years?" Zhou Cang asked back.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were speechless for a while, and they thought about it, yes, what have they been doing for more than ten years?It seems that nothing has been done, as if it has moved from Langya to Mount Tai.

"What advice does Mr. Zhou have?" Zang Ba clasped his fists and asked.

"I can't talk about advice. When I became an official, I followed Lord Tao in Youzhou. At that time, I had the ambition to set a long distance. I once fought against the Xianbei people with Gongsun Zan. Afterwards, I followed my lord to Xuzhou. I went to Liaodong a few days ago. The old aspirations sprouted." Zhou Cang talked about the past, completely without routine, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were at a loss.
