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

Chapter 310 Where is the way out?Can't go down the mountain?
Without seeds, no matter how much manpower and how many fields are cultivated, it will be useless after all.

"Going down the mountain to plunder? Maybe there will be spring seeds under the mountain!"

Seeing Zang Ba's boredom almost overflowing, Sun rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

In the end, Zang Ba gave him a blank stare, and he almost didn't take care of this kid.

Downhill looting?

Damn, aren't you afraid to go down the mountain and bring back a large group of mouths that open their mouths and beg for food?

This is not without precedent!

Right now there are hundreds of thousands of mouths on Mount Tai, and almost [-] of them follow up the mountain when the Taishan bandits go down the mountain again and again!
In the early years, Zang Ba and others were quite happy, hey, it’s a good thing to be able to bring so many strong people up the mountain without coercion!

As a result, gradually this group of people came back to it.

Hold the grass, since when did there be such a beggar mouth in the house?

This can only be attributed to the innate weakness of the peasant uprising army, without a complete system and perfect planning.

All he does is only looking at the present, even if occasionally there are a few characters who can jump out of the fence and see farther away.

Often, due to various factors, a plan that could have been operated by a god eventually turned into a plan operated by a neuropathy.

Zang Ba led the Taishan bandits to migrate to Qingxu, which is a typical example.

"Going down the mountain to plunder is definitely not an option. We must find another way. Fortunately, the army still has enough food and grass to last for two months. Let the brothers save some food, and it is not impossible to last for three months."

The advantage of being in the mountains and forests is probably that there are a lot of prey. If it really fails, hundreds of thousands of Taishan bandits will switch to become hunters together, and it is still possible to grit their teeth and persist for four months.

As for what to do after four months, that will be discussed elsewhere.

At that time, the hundreds of thousands of starving people must find a place to live. No matter how unwilling he is, Zang Ba can only take these hundreds of thousands of hungry mouths down the mountain, and use the knife in his hand to beg for a share that can save his life. rations.

It's just that such a situation is not what Zang Ba wants to see anyway.

Still the same sentence, the world has changed.

Zang Ba once thought that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command and the Xiliang cavalry were the elite who ruled the world, and it would be easy to annex the world and sweep Kyushu.

But in the blink of an eye, Lu Bu, who was once famous in Megatron, became a prisoner, and died in the Baimen tower in a useless manner.

And Cao Cao, who appeared on the stage in full bloom, used his ingenuity to make Zang Ba realize that sometimes fighting in battle cannot determine the life and death of princes along the way.

While strategizing, there is also the power of landslides and ground cracks.

And Cao Cao is obviously a figure who can grasp this kind of power.

It's just that the results aren't too pretty.

When Zang Ba thought that Cao Cao would rule the world, he was even ready to go down the mountain and serve as Cao Cao's independent army guarding the rear according to the conditions given by Cao Cao.

There was news from Guandu that the great battle that determined the trend of the Central Plains finally came.

Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao failed, and the winner of the battle of Guandu, after all, was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

This news extinguished Zang Ba's desire to formally enter the combat sequence of Cao Cao's army and transform from a bandit to a regular army.

Instead, he began to continue his original plan, that is, on the basis of ensuring his own independence.

Just according to the agreement, help Cao Cao guard the southern gate, so as not to be stabbed in the ass by the little bully in Jiangdong.

Besides, he didn't want to do any more things, lest he end up with the same ending as when he was working under Lu Bu.

And Cao Cao's next ending seems to confirm Zang Ba's speculation.

Starting from the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's army began to go downhill continuously as if a switch was pressed.

In just a few years, all the land of the family was lost, and only the earliest Chen Liu was left lingering.

It can be seen that while Zang Ba's heart is throbbing, his enthusiasm for going down the mountain to join the princes is completely extinguished.

The outside world is too chaotic, the princes come and go, you sing and then I come on stage, Zang Ba feels that it is difficult to see the right man with his own IQ.

So I just stayed on Mount Tai and couldn't come down.

Just wait until the world is settled before leaving the mountain. Anyway, no matter which emperor sits in the country, hundreds of thousands of refugees are not a small number for any emperor.

It's just that Zang Ba's tragic discovery now, his previous idea seems a bit too good.

With hundreds of thousands of mouths, they can still follow Zang Ba's command when they can fill their stomachs.

But when they couldn't even guarantee one meal a day, Zang Ba sadly discovered that even if he didn't want to jump into the maelstrom of troubled times.

Had to jump in too.

But now, the cruel reality before Zang Ba is that he is likely to perform a show and has to dance.

"Go to Qihou?"

In fact, Zhuge Jin's proposal to recruit Zang Ba was not a rare, or clever, strategy in the current world.

The momentum of Taishan bandits is getting bigger and bigger, with hundreds of thousands of refugees, this number alone has already attracted the salivation of the princes from all walks of life.

Jingxiang Liu Biao, Jiangdong Sun Ce, and even Cao Cao couldn't help sending envoys to Mount Tai several times after the defeat of Chenliu, wanting to ask this former ally to "help brother again"!
Of course, even though Zang Ba's head was hurt by hundreds of thousands of his subordinates, even a few strands of his hair turned gray.

But when he calmed down, he still made a very wise decision.

Regarding Cao Cao's envoys, although Zang Ba had met with them, he did not respond to the recruitment conditions that Cao Cao's envoys said from the beginning to the end.

As for the envoy from Jingzhou, Zang Ba treated each other with courtesy, but he only said that the time had not come, and he deeply felt the envoy's kindness.

It was also polite, and after saying a lot of unnutritious words, he sent it out of Yunzhong Mountain.

Zang Ba saw it clearly.

The Taishan bandit can defect to the princes, but it is impossible to say that he has turned a thousand miles away - let alone a thousand miles.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees, even a hundred miles away would be an incomparably huge loss!
For no other reason.

It's all because Zang Ba's control is quite limited.

When the refugees were all staying on the mountain, if they wanted to eat, they could only listen to Zang Ba's command.

But once down the mountain, the Taishan Army, which is just an army of young men, is fine.

If all those old, weak, women and children were brought down the mountain, among other things, just marching all the way would be a waste of soldiers and rations.

In just half a month, Zang Ba's family property can be wiped out!

And once the family is clean.

Zang Ba could have been used to negotiate, and the treatment he could fight for the brothers of the Taishan Army was gone.

Without soldiers and rations, people have reached the boundaries of others.

It is impossible to turn around and go back to Mount Tai. For hundreds of miles, a group of hungry people without food can cause much damage to the local area.

The losses along the way alone cost at least [-]%!
This is not a 10% loss of tens of thousands, but a [-]% loss of tens of thousands of people!

For Zang Ba, who has always regarded himself as loyal, he is unwilling to see this situation anyway.

This is also a very sad point of Zang Ba.

Because whether it is Liu Biao or Cao Cao, in order to persuade the leader of the Taishan generals, the price paid and the conditions offered are almost hype.

As long as Zang Ba nods, one of the generals of Mount Tai counts as one, and the last one is the Marquis of Guannei!

But Zang Ba knew that if he really nodded his head.

The titles of Cao Cao and Liu Biaoxu will definitely be there.

But there are hundreds of thousands of Taishan bandits, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands or even thousands of people left in the end, which can be regarded as the kindness of these two princes.

As for the remaining refugees?
If they were lucky, they might be able to last until they arrived at the boundary of Xudu and Jingzhou, where they were classified as tenant farmers by the Guanzhong family and the Jingxiang family who had already set up their knives and forks.

Unfortunately, it is estimated that most of them have died before moving to Jingxiang and Xudu.
