The war is most likely not to have much to do with Qingzhou.

If Cao Cao was captured, Qingzhou would not be able to defend it, so there would be no need to fight.

If Cao Cao kept it, then Qingzhou would be fine.

Anyway, I won't suffer any loss.

The people and scholars all think so.

There is another situation in Zang Ba's governor's mansion.

In the study room.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan sat opposite each other, their faces full of solemnity. A simple and sloppy topographic map was spread in front of them.

"Although Master Liang used Zhang Yong as a general, I was a little surprised. But on the other hand, Master Liang confronted him with 300,000 elite soldiers. It was reasonable to confront us with Zhang Yong, Yan Liang, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others as partial troops, right?"

Zang Ba sighed and said.

He looked down at the topographic map and wanted to say that these people were mobs. But even the mobs of the Liang army seemed to be much better than them.

If he had fought in the field, Zang Ba knew that he would lose.

He still has confidence in guarding the Yellow River now.

"What Xuan Gao said is that their strength cannot be underestimated. And although we had an agreement with Master Liang before, we had to be careful."

Sun Guan nodded and said with a serious look on his face.

Zang Ba thought for a moment, pinched his chin full of rudes, looked down at the map, and said, "Now there is Liu Bei in Jinan County. If the Liang army wants to cross the river, then you can only cross the river from Le'an and Mount Tai. Brother. You will take 20,000 elite troops to defend Taishan County. Order Yin Li and the two generals Wu Dun to lead 20,000 troops to camp in Le'an. Sun Kang leads 10,000 troops in Zhangqiu as support. I will station 20,000 troops in Linzi to watch the situation."

These are all the famous generals of Mount Tai that Zang Ba can take action. Among them, Sun Kang is Sun Guan's brother, but his talent is not as good as Sun Guan.

"promise."

Sun Guan agreed and stood up and left.

"Zhang Xiu. I hope you don't have any idea about me." Zang Ba sighed, stood up at the door, facing north, stood with his hands behind his back, feeling a little worried.

Although they had an agreement before the war.

If Lord Liang defeated Cao Cao, then Qingzhou naturally obeyed.

But war and deception are also important means. Zang Ba did not let go of his vigilance.

And if the main battlefield really happened in Qingzhou, then many of them, such old brothers, would probably die.

................

Jibei County.

Chen Deng was responsible for building many more camps outside the original Liang army camp to welcome the soldiers of Zhang Yong, Fan Chou and Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Yong arrived first.

Zhang Xiu's three armies and ten thousand guards and Fan Chou's elite soldiers arrived on the morning of this day.

The generals leading the troops on the surface were Ma Dai, Fan Chou, Zhang Xiu, Dian Wei and Wei Shi, who were always sitting in the carriage and never showed up.

After the army arrived at the camp, their respective deputy generals led their troops to the camp. Zhang Xiu, Ma Dai, Fan Chou, Dian Wei and others arrived in the central army's tent.

"His Majesty."

The civil and military ministers stood on both sides and bowed to Zhang Xiu, who was walking towards the commander.

"You guys are exempted from courtesy, sit down." Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and came to the coach's throne to sit down.

After sitting down, Zhang Xiu's expression was still very relaxed. He looked up and said to everyone: "Zang Ba is worthy of being Zang Ba, he did not relax his vigilance. Our strategies and actions before the war were basically in vain."

"I am incompetent, please punish your Majesty." Chen Deng, as the person in charge of this matter, quickly bowed his head to apologize.

"Don't be afraid of Yuanlong, I am not scolding you." Zhang Xiu waved his hand. Then he said with a smile: "What I want to say is. Even if Zangba defends with all his strength, can he defend it?"

Chen Deng immediately became tactful and didn't say anything more.

"General Fan and General Zhang He. You lead 30,000 elite troops from the headquarters to confront Liu Bei across the bank. Once the time is right, you will cross the city south. Don't fight with Liu Bei, but only be responsible for protecting our flanks."

"Liu Bei should not be underestimated."

Zhang Xiu's face was extremely serious.

Although Zhang He was one of the five good generals, Fan Chou was the best in the three armies in the former Xiliang group. However, Zhang Xiu estimated that the two were not the opponents of the three brothers.

When this fight, the persimmons need to be soft, and Zang Ba will be much easier to bully. Dealing against Liu Bei is defense, and dealing with Zang Ba is offensive.

"promise."

Zhang He and Fan Chou agreed, stood up and walked out.

"General Fan wait a moment." Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand and waved Fan Chou.

"What are your Majesty's instructions?" Fan Chou asked. The general of Xiliang, Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, are the old subordinates of Dong Zhuo who are still leading troops.

Hu Zhen has many ghost ideas, and Hua Xiong and Fan Chou are not stupid, but among the famous generals, they are really brave but not wise.

"Come here." Zhang Xiu waved again.

Fan Chou couldn't understand the meaning and could only come to Zhang Xiu's side and squat down.

"General Fan. You are my old general, and of course you have a high status. But Zhang He is a man with inappropriate courage and resourcefulness. Although he is the deputy general, he is actually the head coach. Do you know?"

Zhang Xiu reached out to wrap his hand over Fan Chou's shoulder and said seriously.

Fan Chou was very dissatisfied, but Zhang Xiu’s prestige was nothing to say. He didn’t dare to resist, so he had to nod and said, “No.”

The ministers pretended not to hear the conversation between Zhang Xiu and Fan Chou.

Gao Lan and Yan Liang were very happy. Although we were surrendered, we were also highly valued.
