Chapter 393
One plus one, the effect is not necessarily less than two, but also less than one.

When Cui Che heard that Yang Guang had arranged for Yang Su a censor supervisor, he managed to hold back his laughter, and he said to the generals:

"Yang Guang uses literature to control martial arts, Yang Su is not allowed to be free, and the fighters should be here."

Cui Che's confident appearance infected everyone, and all the generals were full of confidence in the upcoming decisive battle.

Perhaps Liu Shilong, the censor supervisor, could not interfere with Yang Su's formation, but Cui Che believed that it would be easier to deal with such a person who restrained Yang Su in certain aspects than Yang Su who let his hands and feet loose.

After all, the censor and supervising army of Yang Guang's dynasty, looking at the entire history, is still quite a burst existence
The distance between Xihe County and Jinyang is more than [-] miles. Of course, Yang Su cannot maintain a daily marching speed of [-] miles. Otherwise, it would take nearly a month just to reach the city of Jinyang.

When Yang Guang blamed him, Liu Shilong couldn't afford it, so after allowing Yang Su to march slowly for three days, allowing the soldiers to have some rest time, Liu Shilong found Yang Su again and urged him to march quickly.

Yang Su was already satisfied with the precious three days, and did not have any more disputes with Liu Shilong. On the fourth day of going north, he accelerated his pace and marched [-] miles a day. Enter Cui Che's ambush circle.

It's just that Cui Che had no intention of ambush at all. While waiting patiently for Yang Su to go north, he also secretly made friends with generals under Yang Liang's command, such as Qiao Zhongkui's deputy Wang Ba.

First, the expedition to Kansai was defeated, and then he lost his troops in Xihe County. He only followed Qiao Zhongkui and led more than a hundred riders to flee back to Jinyang.

And he is also Fang Yanzao who 'met' in the restaurant.

As Cui Che's envoy, Fang Yanzao traveled to Jinyang several times to meet Yang Liang, but he was not familiar with Wang Ba, after all Wang Ba was just a small lieutenant general.

However, under Fang Yanzao's deliberate friendship, the two still quickly became acquainted. Occasionally, Fang Yanzao would ask Wang Ba to play money together, but I don't know if Fang Yanzao is a little bit of a back, or a dark face, he is always cute. Consistently lost money to Wang Ba.

It can be attributed to luck once or twice, but every time it happens, even if Wang Ba is a martial artist, he has somehow sensed that Fang Yanzao has ulterior motives.

Therefore, when Fang Yanzao invited Wang Ba to gamble again, Wang Ba couldn't help expressing his doubts:
"The enemy is now, Brother Fang is not assisting King Yan in the camp, but he enters the city every day to play games with me, why?"

Seeing Wang Ba piercing the window paper, Fang Yanzao didn't hide it, he smiled and said frankly:
"It's not that Fang has something to ask for, but that the King of Yan loves the talents of his brother, so he ordered me to have fun with my brother."

Wang Ba was dumbfounded, he said in surprise:
"Wang's official position is humble, why did his humble name fall into the ears of the King of Yan?"

Fang Yanzao smiled and said:
"Brother Wang, don't be overly modest. I have heard that your brother is in the Hedong army and has the reputation of being invincible, so how can you belittle yourself."

It turned out that although Wang Ba was only Qiao Zhongkui's lieutenant general, with his martial arts skills, he also gained a reputation as brave and invincible in the Hedong Army.

During Yang Liang's expedition to the west, Wang Ba often led a few cavalry with a spear in his hand to charge into battle, causing the Sui army to suffer a lot.

Even once, after beheading a general on the battlefield, Wang Ba scared Yang Su's vanguard back dozens of miles with only a dozen cavalry.

Quite reminiscent of Gao Aocao, the famous general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who defeated Er Zhu Yusheng's five thousand troops with just a few dozen cavalry.

Although Cui Che already has Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other famous generals of later generations under his command, how can there be too many fierce generals like Wang Ba.

Fang Yanzao persuaded Wang Ba not to underestimate himself, but Wang Ba shook his head and sighed:
"Since the sage (Yang Liang) raised his army, he defeated Shayuan first and then Xihe. How can he be called invincible? It's just to make people laugh."

It's just that Fang Yanzao didn't agree with Wang Ba's statement, he retorted:
"The king of Yan once said: 'Heroes and heroes must meet those who are confidantes. Respect them with high titles, raise them with generous salaries, and assign them powers, so that they can spread their talents.'

"The King of Yan compares Brother Wang to Ao Cao, but the mediocre master can't know people, because Brother Wang's family is not well known, he is only appointed as a deputy general, and An can make full use of Brother Wang's talents.

"It is the fault of the superiors that the warriors do not receive their talents, so how can they be ashamed of themselves.

"Among the Yan army, there is a man named Cheng Yaojin, this man is young and not well-known, but the King of Yan knows this man's talent, so he does not stick to one pattern, promotes him by leapfrogging to make him a general.

"Since raising his troops to the south, Cheng Yaojin has been fighting in all directions with Duke Yan, and his reputation has gradually grown.

"Brother Wang asked himself, how can you be inferior to this man in terms of your bravery, but today's situation is very different. It is nothing more than what King Yan said: 'If you want to do something, you need a gentleman to see the opportunity and know your fate."

"Brother Wang is not valued by the mediocre master, but he is appreciated by King Yan and makes friends with him. Now is the time for Brother Wang to play by ear!"

Fang Yanzao's words, to Wang Ba, were like a blow to the head, to wake him up.

As Fang Yanzao said, Wang Ba was born in poverty, otherwise he would not be known for being good at using spears.

Because of his obscure family background, he had to serve as a lieutenant general for Qiao Zhongkui, who was far inferior to him. It was hard for him to rise to the top. On weekdays, Wang Ba had long been indignant about this, but he was born in such an age that valued blood. This kind of injustice is really powerless and has to be endured.

But now with Cui Che as a comparison, Wang Ba is not willing to suffer this kind of anger anymore, he said seriously:

"Brother Fang's words awakened the dreamer, Wang Ba's humble generation can be appreciated by the King of Yan, how dare he not do his best to repay the kindness of his knowledge, and ask Brother Fang to tell the king, Wang Ba will do like a dog and a horse !"

Fang Yanzao was overjoyed, he encouraged Wang Ba to regain his strength, it will be of great use in the future.

Wang Ba was just one of the generals of Bingzhou that Cui Che secretly wooed. Yang Liang suffered a disastrous defeat in Kansai. Now that the situation in Bingzhou is at stake, there are many people who are dissatisfied with him.

Conspiracy is a felony, and it is difficult to protect oneself by surrendering to the imperial court. Facing the olive branch that Cui Che secretly throws, how many people can refuse.

After all, although Yang Liang claimed the title of emperor by arrogance, but because the main force of Hedong was destroyed in Shayuan, he had no corresponding strength. This emperor was a grasshopper after autumn. When Cui Che and Yang Su decided the winner, he also jumped In a few days.

Of course, for Cui Che, preparing for the battle with Yang Su is the most important thing, so he will send Fang Yanqian and other scribes to win him over for him, instead of coming forward himself to be distracted by this matter.

Even if Liu Shilong was beside Yang Su as the censor and supervisor, Cui Che would not take it lightly.

When Yang Su cautiously came twenty miles outside Jinyang City and set up camp here, the battle between him and Cui Che would also be on the verge of breaking out.

 There are two more chapters, both should be in the early morning.
