Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 180
Wang Hou doesn't want to go to Taishan County!

In his point of view, an army is only called an army if you pull it up with your own hands. With the help of other people's army, you have to command the troops through generals. One soldier and one soldier can't command, so he would rather go to Guangling County to ask Chen Deng for help than to join the Taishan army that has already surrendered to Mr. Cao.

However, the situation did not allow it. Cao Cao had already launched an attack on Jizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River. He urgently needed Cao's allied forces in Qingzhou to restrain Yuan Shao's flanking forces, so there was no time for Wang Hou to go to Guangling to form Danyang's elite troops.

It’s no wonder that Cao Cao accepted Wang Hou as the state herdsman and entrusted Qingzhou to take Jia Xu’s place. After listening to his analysis, Wang Hou slapped his thigh helplessly and headed for Mount Tai!

Fortunately, there was a leading party in the team, Zang Ba's clan brother, with him leading the way, Wang Hou would not get lost when he walked through the vast Mount Tai, which he had never been before.

However, the traffic in this era is really bad, especially in Qingzhou, which has experienced the riots of millions of Yellow Turbans, and Taishan County, which is full of mountains in the northeast, is even more desolate. I often walk for two or three days without seeing a single inhabited village. Even sometimes it is better not to meet people.

Because what I encountered was a robber!
It's a chaotic world, to what extent?The people and the thieves are completely indistinguishable. The plowed land at one end is well plowed, and the robber at the other end picks up a knife.

The order has completely collapsed, there is no danger on the plain, and there is a flat and fertile plain in the south of Mount Tai, where most of the villages fled and were destroyed. Gathering refugees to farm in the ravines, while attacking and plundering the nearby villages, it is no wonder that the court called them Taishan bandits.

Even Zang Ba's reputation here is not completely easy to use. When meeting someone who is easy to talk to, Wang Hou is a Xuzhou Mu who has accepted the fate of the imperial court. It is still possible to give some face, invite him in for a meal, and more is jealous Wang Hou sent people to snatch the belongings brought by Wang Hou. Fortunately, there were two fierce generals in the army, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, so Wang Hou was not snatched by any mountain king to become the wife of the village.

I set off in April, but fought all the way, and when I arrived at Zang Ba's garrison through Taishan County, it was already June. The distance that later generations can travel by train in one day took Wang Hou 48 days, and even the one he brought out 2000 people were killed and injured to more than 700.

It was true that more than 700 people were killed and injured, and more than 60 people were killed or injured. However, they defeated four cottages together. They dragged their families and followed behind Wang Hou's convoy, and they couldn't drive them away. When they encountered thieves, their young men also followed. Anyway, they needed manpower, so Wang Hou simply recruited them.

Another afternoon, the luxurious four-wheeled carriage was confiscated by Mr. Cao. After finally getting through the stage of being beaten into extreme poverty again, Wang Hou was about to be swayed and schizophrenic in a temporary carriage without shock absorption. Withered in the carriage, like a Mundo, with his big tongue and eyes dangling absent-mindedly, Cao Hongjie lay on his lap and slept soundly.

On the opposite side, Jia Xu has obviously already adapted to this long-distance migration, shaking so violently, he can still read the book, a book of "Zuo Zhuan" over and over again, occasionally admiring a little brain.

It is worth mentioning that the "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand is Wang Hou's book collection, and it has been printed with movable lead type. How precious are books in this era?Wang Hou promised to give him a set, and the happy Jia Xu almost married his daughter to him.

In the drowsiness, at the front of the team, a simple and honest shout suddenly came from afar.

"My lord, you have already entered the territory of Ju County! We will be there soon!!!"

It was Zang Hong who spoke, and Wang Hou finally recovered his energy after listening to the voice. He put Cao Hongjie's little head aside, and he himself opened the car door and jumped down hastily.

This place is located in the hills of Shandong Province in the south of Shandong Province, and there is another continuous piece of hills and depressions in front of it. The official road that has been rotten into a mess winds around the gap to the hills, and you can vaguely see the nearest hills near the final gap. On the ground, a large flag was hung on it, but the words could not be read clearly, but when Wang Hou was fascinated by it, suddenly there was a bang of a gong, and there was a sharp sound on the ground.

This kind of situation has been encountered too much these days, almost never passing by a village Wubao, all have to go through this experience, the convoy immediately followed suit, Zhang Liao led the cavalry directly to meet it, and Wang Hou's personal troops followed suit. The front of the big shield was black and dark, and the fastest runner was Zang Hong. He was full of sorrow. He rode his horse and galloped to the front of the team, shouting anxiously at the top of his voice.

"I am Wufang Zang Hong, which general is guarding here? Come out and see me!
But even so, the Taishan army at the mountain gap did not lower their vigilance, still holding wooden shields and pulling wooden bows to defend nervously. After a long time, only a man with a white scarf on his head and a worn-out iron armor rode The horse descends from the hilly mountain pack.

"The fifth child of the Zang family?"

"Didn't you go west to seek refuge with the Prince of the East Commandery? Why are you here?"

I have to mention that it is difficult to transmit information in this era. The mayor of future generations will know it as soon as the photo is posted on the Internet. Here, Wang Hou has been the shepherd of Qingzhou since April. It is more than June, and Qingzhou does not know yet!Zang Hong had no choice but to shout again.

"My lord, Dongjun Taishou Wang Hou, was promoted by the Prime Minister to Qingzhou Shepherd. I hereby entrust my lord to take up the post! Is it General Xu Ling? Please tell my family's chief elder brother to welcome the Qingzhou Shepherd to take office!"

Futinghou, Qingzhou Mu, sounds like Hanshoutinghou, the former General Guan Erye, and he is a big name, right?Hearing Zang Hong sign up for himself behind the infantry, Wang Hou couldn't help puffing out his chest again, but the brash man who appeared on the hill almost didn't let him spit out his next sentence.

"Which state shepherd came out of a hole again?"

He lowered his head and muttered that even Zang Hong, his own person, would not be able to help. After a moment of hesitation, this guy with a height of more than 1.8 meters and two dirty beards on his face grinned again.

"You wait here, don't run around, I'm going back to Juxian County, and report to the leader!"

As he spoke, he dragged his horse and galloped back to the hill.

Wang Hou was very depressed. Watching TV dramas, imperial envoys, private visits in disguise, when his name was revealed, corrupt officials, ordinary people and gentry all had to kneel down, but it was good to come to him, and the door was closed.

Especially what made Wang Hou dignified was the attitude he encountered in this way.

Even Zang Ba, the biggest Taishan bandit leader, was nervous to this extent. In the land thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, the order had been completely broken. The people of the same Han Empire attacked each other, and defending each other was like defending against robbers. In that way, with such a deep estrangement, is he, Wang Hou, capable of putting together the scattered pieces of Qingzhou?

Difficult!
