Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 309
"It ran pretty fast."

On Mount Tai, Yuan Tan, who has penetrated into the heart of Mount Tai, has discovered traces of the bandits living here.

However, this place is already empty.

Of course, the Taishan bandits have hundreds of thousands of people, and if they say they will migrate, they will migrate, even though they have Zang Ba's prestige.

After all, there will be people who are reluctant to leave their homeland.

There are also some old people and some children who are too young to keep up with most of them, and Zang Ba left them on Mount Tai.

Anyway, the Taishan bandits have been operating here for many years. Although it is difficult to open up fertile farmland in the mountains and forests, they cannot withstand the large number of Taishan bandits.

In the end, hundreds of acres of Susukida were cultivated, scattered all over the mountains.

As a result, unique mountain households are formed one after another on Mount Tai.

And standing in front of Yuan Tan at this moment, the old man shivering tremblingly was one of the Taishan thieves left on Mount Tai by Zang Ba.

However, when Yuan Tan went up the mountain, he didn't have the idea of ​​attacking the Taishan bandits.

Naturally, it is impossible to embarrass an old man who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

The Taishan bandits are very complex, including the Yellow Turban Army, the bandits, and the refugees fleeing famine.

And this old man was a refugee family who fled to Zang Ba's command after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

There was no blood on his hands—in fact, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended and Zang Ba's Taishan bandits officially became famous.

These Taishan thieves' dragsters, the old, the weak, women and children, etc., rarely go to the battlefield again.

More often than not, after the battle was over, they collected the corpses of the Taishan bandits who died in battle, and cleaned the battlefield to see if there were any missing spoils.

Other than that, they just sew military uniforms for the army of Taishan bandits, occasionally hunt and fish, and do whatever work they can.

So Yuan Tan can't make things difficult for this old man, even if such an old man is caught by the government at the foot of the mountain.

He would definitely not be able to escape being dubbed a "year-old gangster" and "heinous crime", and then he would be sent to the execution ground without hesitation to be killed or hanged, making a contribution to the local chief official.

But for such feats, Yuan Tan is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, after a brief period of comfort, the old man who barely calmed down finally gave Yuan Tan some instructions.

In fact, this is Zang Ba's explanation before leaving.

He also knew that it was impossible to hide the news that the Taishan bandits had left Yanzhou for too long, and there would definitely be officers and troops entering the mountain to check the details.

And these old and weak people he left on Mount Tai will definitely be the first to find out.

In order to prevent them from being killed by the officers and soldiers as thieves, and at least have a bargaining chip to save their lives, Zang Ba tacitly allowed these people to explain the whereabouts of the Taishan thieves.

"In the mountains and forests of Qingxu and Xuzhou?"

This answer is obviously too broad for people like Zhao Yun.

After all, the vastness of the mountains and forests handed over by Qingxu is not comparable to Mount Tai.

You know, Zang Ba placed Taishan bandits on Mount Tai in the past, not just a Mount Tai, but occupied all the dangerous areas around Mount Tai.

Only then did the Taishan bandits roar in the mountains and forests and shake the power of the Central Plains.

As for the mountains and forests in the Qing and Xu realms, their vastness is more than enough to accommodate the entire Mount Tai thief, and even more can be found.

Therefore, this answer makes Zhao Yun feel that there is no difference between yes and no.

On the contrary, Yuan Tan, after hearing this reply, his eyes moved slightly, he shook his head playfully, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"This Zangba, Zang Xuangao, is a really smart person. Unfortunately, his luck is so bad."

Compared with Zhao Yun, Yuan Tan had a more accurate grasp of Zang Ba's thoughts, and a more accurate prediction of Zang Ba's choices.

Therefore, when the old man said that Zang Ba was going to Qingxu Mountain Forest.

Yuan Tan had already guessed what Zang Ba, the leader of the Taishan generals, had planned.

Taishan County is where the Taishan bandits started their business. What temptation can make Zang Ba abandon this foundation and go to Qingxu?
Just compare the terrain.

Although Mount Tai is steep, it took tens of thousands of people and several years to cultivate only a hundred acres of land that could be used for farming.

On the other hand, the two realms of Qing and Xu, although they cannot be compared with Mount Tai in terms of steepness, the fields available for reclamation are far from being comparable to Mount Tai.

Therefore, if you want to find Zang Ba, you only need to go to those mountainous areas suitable for reclamation.

"Your Majesty is indeed unparalleled in his calculations, and he calculated Zang Ba's thoughts with incomparable accuracy, but why did you say that Zang Ba's fortune is not good?"

Zhao Yun had been following Yuan Tan, and he heard Yuan Tan's sighs and analysis clearly. Although he admired him, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

He has a close relationship with Yuan Tan, so he didn't put away the question, but asked it directly.

Yuan Tan waved his hand, and slowly spit out a word:

"Without him, there are no seeds for spring plowing in the hands of the Taishan thieves."

……

At this moment, Zang Ba, who was in Yunzhong Mountain, was always on fire in his heart, wishing he could bring Taishan army down the mountain directly.

Take it one time.

It's just that the remaining rationality in his mind prevented him from taking any further steps.

Yuan Tan's analysis was correct.

When Zang Ba came to Yunzhong Mountain, gearing up, ready to start his planned spring plowing.

It was sad to find out that the original plan was to buy the seeds directly from the people and merchants at the foot of the mountain.

With the severe drought sweeping across the Central Plains, it was impossible to buy.

The people of Qingxu Erzhou, who had just regained some vitality, didn't even know where to get the spring seeds in their own land.

I can only wait eagerly for the government to distribute it.

Where can there be more species to sell to Taishan thieves?
Therefore, when Zang Ba was ready to go, with great ambitions, he thought that he could finally find a paradise for the people under his rule to live and work in peace.

I was hit head-on by the cruel reality.

This can't be blamed on Zang Ba's lack of thoughtfulness.

Having been active on Mount Tai all year round, Zang Ba was not very well-informed.

In addition to the migration of hundreds of thousands of Taishan bandits, and Zang Ba's subordinates are all generals like Sun Guan and Chang Xi, it can be said that there is no one who can give him advice and solve problems.

The entire migration process was fully supported by Zang Ba alone.

To put it bluntly, Zang Ba hadn't bothered to pay attention to the outside world at all in the past year.

It can support tens of thousands of Taishan bandits up and down, and transport them to the Qingxu realm with no more than 10% loss.

It has already exhausted the mental energy of the Taishan leader.

But in the end, God seemed to play a joke on him.

Since the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, Qingxu and Xuzhou, which have not had natural disasters for more than ten years, have not escaped the drought this time.

All states in the Central Plains were swept by drought, making the Central Plains once again shrouded in dark clouds and blood in the seventh year of Jian'an.

And when the spring of the first year of Ding'an returned to this land.

Zang Ba's sad discovery, as the ancients said, the so-called wise man is destined to fail.

It seemed to finally land on top of his head.
