Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181 On pretending to be a grandson
After waiting for more than 40 minutes, Wang Hou got tired of waiting. Finally, the Taishan army guarding the mountain pass opened a gap and moved away the sharp wooden deer village that blocked the pass. It was the guard Xu Ling just now, He yelled weakly at the top of his voice.

"My general has an order, you can come in! But be honest!"

"Get ready to go in!"

Yawning, while giving orders, Wang Hou was still in a daze to walk towards the carriage, who knew that just halfway there, Jia Xu, who got out of the carriage to watch, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Hou's sleeve.

"Dong Weng, wait! We can't enter this stockade!"

"What?"

Zang Ba hadn't planned to come to him at first, but came only after being persuaded by Jia Xu. When he arrived at the door, this guy said he couldn't get in. Wang Hou was really depressed when he heard that, and asked in amazement.

"Just now Zang Hong self-reported his family, and he has already reported that you were appointed by the prime minister to take over as Qingzhou governor. He Zang Ba is the governor of Qingzhou. He is on the same level as you in name, but his identity is half-hearted. , he should come out to greet you in person, but he didn't pay attention, and sent a subordinate to rule you into the city. This is disrespectful! If the lord goes in like this, it will be even more difficult for him to admit the identity of the lord Zhou Mu Difficult!"

"So, we have to wait! Wait for Zang Ba to greet him in person! If he doesn't come, we will march in with our troops!"

As expected of a poisoner, what Yi Ce said was full of murderous intent, and Wang Hou really thought about it with his chin clenched, but after thinking for half a minute, he still waved his hand forward.

"Enter the village!"

"Lord!"

Really couldn't help being anxious, Jia Xu clasped her fists hastily, but Wang Hou yawned heavily again.

"You have analyzed everything for me. The prime minister took me as a confidant. The main task is to try our best to urge these Taishan bandits to march to Qingzhou to restrain Qingzhou Yuan Tan's support for Jizhou! It doesn't matter what state shepherd is. Besides, there are no soldiers in hand now. Yes, that is the grandson! If you are a grandson, you have to have the consciousness to pretend to be a grandson! Just coax Zang Ba to send troops! Why are you so stiff with him?"

"I don't want to sleep in the carriage tonight! Go in!"

Impatiently, Wang Hou pulled open the door of the carriage again, and put Cao Hongjie's little head, which was still sleeping soundly, on his lap again. When his head was tilted, he also started to sleep, but he didn't notice it, and was stunned. Jia Xu showed a satisfied and dumbfounding expression. He didn't even get into the carriage, and directly dragged a horse by his side, followed the swaying infantry group, and set foot on the winding road together. On the mountain road, while walking, he also focused on the appearance of the soldiers of the Taishan Army on the mountain, their armor, weapons, and the few broken houses built on the hills they guarded, which could barely be called the upper pass.

In fact, this place is already out of Taishan County, and belongs to Ju County in the southeast of Chengyang County. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there used to be the three kingdoms of Ju, Qi, and Lu. , and destroyed the country of Ju.Four years ago, when Lu Bu was still alive, Zang Ba sent troops to the south of Mount Tai, attacked and killed Langya Prime Minister Xiao Jian, captured Ju County, and then moved his base camp to Ju County.

However, it makes sense to move here. Later generations here belong to Rizhao Ju County. The Lunan hills just wrap around a large circle around here, and there are only a few broken gaps to enter. In the cold weapon era, this terrain belongs to Yi. It's hard to defend, and if you walk in, it's a hilly plain, and I don't know if the branch of the Haihe River flows through here, it's a good place for farming.

In June, the small plain is already rare and lush.

However, for Wang Hou's new team, the residents on the small plain are obviously full of hostility and precautions. Seeing the banner with the word "Wang" strolling by on the official road, the farmers who are still cultivating in the fields immediately threw them away and walked away. Just run, in the village, the children who had run away were gathered up, and the men guarded Wang Hou's team carefully with hoes and shovels until the team passed by.

Another detail caught Jia Xu's eyes. In Xudu, thanks to the existence of the old guy Wang Hou, almost all the farmers in Yingchuan and Chenliu used brand-new and sturdy steel farm tools, but the Taishan Army in Ju County These villagers are still using wooden hoes, and even the plows that open the furrows and plow the soil are made of wood, and only the front is shabby covered with an iron tip.

Zang Ba lacks iron!

This place is quite big. Entering from the Jushan Pass in the west, after walking for more than half an hour, the convoy finally arrived at the county seat of Ju County. After all, Ba still didn't go too far. At the gate of Ju County, with a dozen generals under his command and a thousand or so soldiers, he finally showed his face and waited there.

Not to mention, to be a hero, at least he has a good face. Zang Ba is like this, a typical Shandong man, a big man of more than 1.9 meters, a head taller than Zhao Yun, without a helmet, with a headband on his forehead, and long hair From the two sides of his face, it made his long face a bit more square, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a nose like a gall, and a beard on his chin, which added a bit of solemnity to him.

His voice was like a bell, facing the convoy parked at the gate of the county seat, Zang Ba bowed heavily with his fists clasped, and shouted loudly.

"Langya Prime Minister Zang Ba! Greetings to the envoy!"

This appellation is ingenious. When Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao bestowed him with the official position of Minister of Langya. During the Guandu War, he entrusted him with the affairs of Qingzhou in Xubei. up!

But after all, he didn't have a real name, and Zang Ba didn't want to recognize Wang Hou as the state shepherd, so he still used the old official position of Langya Prime Minister, and called Wang Hou a vague envoy.

Indeed, the governor can call the envoy, but like Cao Hongjie, a small wind-collecting envoy, can also be called the envoy.

But when Zang Ba was still waiting for the battle with a cold face, Wang Hou had already run down from the carriage in an extremely excited manner, just like the [-]-mile triumphant reunion, rushing to Zang Ba with extremely passionate tears In front of him, the hand holding him was shaking heavily with great enthusiasm.

"General Zang, this envoy can be considered to have seen you!"

"General, you don't know! This way, there are bandits everywhere, and the untouchables live a good life, but they go to the mountains to be robbers! Every day they come down to rob, and I almost don't see the general!"

Seemingly still in shock, looking around, Wang Hou asked again with a guilty conscience.

"General, is your Ju County safe? There won't be bandits coming in, right?"

How embarrassing!Zhao Yun's cheeks twitched, and he wanted to go up and kick Wang Hou. Er..., he made a remonstrance, but was pulled back by Jia Xu. On this end, Zang Ba also had an unexpected expression on his face, but after a while , and regained his indifference, he clasped his fists gloomyly.

"Don't worry, I have [-] troops stationed in Ju County, not to mention small bandits, even Yuan bandits can't get in!"

"That's good! That's good! By the way, we've already caught up, and a bird has already faded out of his mouth! General Zang, is there a welcome banquet tonight?"

"Return to the envoy, yes! Please envoy into the city!"

Gao Leng turned his burly body around, and immediately Zang Ba led the way in front, with his back to Wang Hou, listening to his frivolous footsteps, a wave of contempt could not help appearing on his square face!
