Chang Xi is the prefect of Donghai County and the parent official of this place.

There are many varieties of parent organs.

Just like parents, there are parents who worry about their children and work hard to squeeze out the last drop of bone marrow to nourish their children. Of course, there are also parents who are aloof and gesticulating all day long, scolding and scolding, saying that it is not a big deal.

Okay, let’s open another small account type.

In reality, blood-related parents come in many forms, some good and some bad. So how can we ensure that the officials, who are only called "parents" in name only, will adopt an attitude towards the more vulnerable "children"?

Obviously, no one can guarantee it.

Even in the same country, in different counties, people's experiences will not be the same.

In the process of serving as officials, will these common people understand what is causing their hardship in life? They will not know at all, let alone think that sometimes it is the political game above that leads to the occurrence of certain incidents.

, will let his life be wasted in an inconspicuous place.

Just like in Tan County.

Under the city wall, which is not very high, various damaged siege and defense equipment are scattered everywhere. Next to these broken wooden boards and wooden piles, there are corpses that have been soaked in the rain and turned white. The city wall

Underneath, there are gaps dug everywhere, like groundhog holes.

There are several ways to attack the city wall, and Zang Ba chose the dumber ones. On the one hand, these subordinates of Zang Ba cannot be said to be elite soldiers and can master many complex tactical changes. On the other hand, they are stupid.

Of course the method will take more effort...

After all, sometimes stupid methods can make people look like they are diligent.

There is also hard work without credit, right?

Especially the holes dug out at the base of the city wall are enough to prove Zang Ba's "merit" in attacking Tan County. But when this "merit" may not be what others want, it also changes from "merit" to "merit".

"laughing stock".

Zang Ba's men were covered in mud, rain, and blood, and they withdrew in embarrassment. On the high ground of the mound, the soldiers of Cao's army stretched out their heads and looked over. Then someone said something, and there was a sudden burst of excitement.

The roar of laughter is like the crowd standing around the Monkey Mountain in later generations, staring at the monkeys passing under the Monkey Mountain.

"Hey! Look at that red ass!"

These soldiers of Cao Cao's army are naturally the trusted soldiers directly under Cao Cao, responsible for suppressing the formation.

Compared with Zang Ba's soldiers, the soldiers directly under Cao Cao are of course better equipped, with more sophisticated tools, sharper swords and guns, and more armor. To put it simply, they are a group of soldiers wearing clothes and armor.

A group of people without clothes or armor laughed at them.

"Ha! There's a black ass over there!"

"Oh haha……"

so happy.

On the highland slopes, there is a military formation surrounded by a cloth curtain. In the military formation, there are Cao Jun guards who are wearing raincoats and look extremely strong. These personal guards who belong directly to Cao Cao look at them with cold eyes.

Zang Ba's soldiers struggling in the mud and water were like looking at a stone without any emotion.

Cao Cao was sitting under the Chinese army's curtain. Although the rain was pouring, the area around him was indeed relatively dry. He was sitting on a bench with a slight smile on his face, as if he was not alone this time.

Not here to fight, but just out for a hike.

Chang Xi rebelled, and Zang Ba surrounded the city with his army and attacked.

Seeing Zang Ba's posture of besieging the city, Cao Cao was not impatient at all, and even gave Zang Ba some advice, asking Zang Ba to lead his men to recruit all the nearby people into the army, and plunder all the villages, towns and villages around Tan County.

Loot, and burn everything that cannot be taken away...

As a result, Donghai County, especially around Tan County, suddenly became a purgatory on earth!

Zang Ba's troops also discussed it, but in fact the ordinary soldiers did not know Cao Cao's intentions. However, after the big hats were pressed down, Zang Ba had to lower his head, pinch his nose, and tuck his tail.

Follow Cao Cao's "suggestions" and step into the abyss.

At least follow Cao Cao's "suggestions", and you can delay it to some extent, but if you don't do it, you will die faster!

Zang Ba suspected that Cao Cao had already understood everything he had done. Zang Ba even felt that Cao Cao might have already thought about it when he set out, and never wanted to see a Taishan Army swinging in the middle and possibly threatening...

…

Even if it turns the East China Sea into a white land!

But only the people will have the land. How much land can withstand such burning and killing? What kind of idea does General Cao have? Even if Chang Xi is killed, the East China Sea will definitely be over, and then such an area,

What ability does it have to defend Jiangdong? Does it mean that even Jiangdong doesn't matter?

Zang Ba deliberately delayed the attack from the beginning, and then Cao Cao's step-by-step "suggestions" forced him to accelerate the intensity of the attack. As a result, it rained again...

This made Zang Ba really want to vomit blood.

The siege in the rain obviously made the siege party suffer even more losses, but they could not stop. So far, even Zang Ba didn't know how many Taishan troops would be included in Tan County!

Zang Ba's face turned a little blue.

In the awning behind Zang Ba, dozens of Zang Ba's soldiers with dejected expressions were maintaining order inside and outside the shed. Inside the shed were those slightly injured soldiers, which were filled to the brim, and blood flowed from the ground of the awning.

It winds out like red snakes crawling on the ground.

There is no way to treat serious injuries, and there is no good treatment for minor injuries, but we cannot leave them alone next to uninjured soldiers, as this will cause the military morale that was not very strong to begin with to collapse again.

Moans kept coming from behind.

Soldiers with fever caused by wound infection were moaning in discomfort even when they were sleeping, and some were calling their mothers...

Zang Ba didn't have to look back to see clearly that his men, even if they were slightly injured, were lucky to survive in such weather.

The rain seems to be working hard to wash away the evil in the world, but the corpses that have been soaked white are like mountains of iron evidence, frozen in the mud, motionless.

From the city gate to the trench, from the trench to the military camp, there are corpses at almost every step. Some of these corpses have been tidied up, but most of them are left lying in a mess because there is no time or the intention to tidy them up.

Fell on the ground in muddy water!

"General Zang!" A messenger from Cao's army stomped on the red snake-like liquid crawling on the ground, "General, please come!"

Zang Ba concentrated slightly, "I understand..."

The soldiers who ordered Cao Jun didn't say much, turned around and left, as if they would get some bad luck if they stayed too long.

"General..." Zang Ba's close guards were somewhat worried.

"..." Zang Ba pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's see if there are any other medicines and bandages, and gather some more for brothers... I'll come as soon as I go..." Cao Cao won't do anything to him now. At this point,

At this level, verbal criticism and rebuke are meaningless. If you take action, it will be a matter of life or death.

"I've seen the general!"

"Xuan Gao..." Sure enough, Cao Cao smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Zang Ba's battle, "Come on, sit down! Sit down first!"

My vision is much worse when I stand up, but almost the same when I sit down.

"I wonder if the general has summoned me..." Zang Ba sat down and asked, "What are your orders?"

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao smiled, "It's no big deal...Haha, I just wanted to ask Xuan Gao, how are you doing? Are you tired? Can you still hold on?"

This question is not something that can be simply said casually in the workplace in future generations, let alone today?

Cao Cao smiled happily, like a big boss full of affinity.

Zang Ba had a stiff smile on his face, like a project manager who couldn't complete the task but had to report on his work.

At such a moment, it seems that there are several choices, but in fact...

If the answer is "yes" and you can continue to hold on, it means that Zang Ba will continue to devote his soldiers to the siege and continue the siege operations like a meat grinder!

So the answer is "no". Since it can't be done, is it normal to let Cao Cao take command? So once Cao Cao takes over the command, is it equivalent to depriving Zang Ba of his military power? Even after this battle is over

, those soldiers other than Zang Ba’s headquarters naturally became Cao Cao’s subordinates...

The answer "I don't know if I can" is still not much different from the answer "can't". After all, this is in the military. On the one hand, ambiguous answers will not be accepted by Cao Cao, and he will definitely be pressed until he can only choose "can" or "can".

No, and on the other hand, the time given is not enough. It's not that you can't complete insignificant workplace tasks, but that you can't do it well, or you'll die on the battlefield!

Because the East China Sea is not the only one fighting at the moment, Xiapi is also facing the Jiangdong Army. If the passage cannot be opened in Tan County and the troops cannot reach Xiapi in one day, then it means that Xiapi will have to fight for one more day.

risk!

So what if you answer "yes" and then secretly delay? Just like what Zang Ba did before.

It seems possible.

This is the only way, but it can't be delayed for too long. After all, the people around Tan County have been basically wiped out, and they have been consumed. No matter how much you delay, Zang Ba's troops will still be consumed.

Unless the spring rain becomes heavier and turns from drizzle to heavy rain, then the offensive can naturally be stopped.

Things like the weather cannot be controlled by human beings, so Zang Ba cannot be blamed for it, but who knows how long this rain will last?

Once the spring rain stops, I believe Lao Cao will immediately force Zang Ba to fulfill his promise. After all, this is not the workplace of later generations. Subordinates beat and scold them when they cannot complete their tasks and call the police. This is in the Han army. If Zang Ba talks nonsense,

If he makes a promise but fails to fulfill it, Cao Cao can use it as a military method!

If Zang Ba does something serious and resigns, I will stop working. Hehe, if Zang Ba really does this, Cao Cao will definitely laugh out loud.

As mentioned before, there is water on the left and right of Tan County, Yishui and Mushui are blocking it on the left and right, Tan County is blocking the front, and Cao Cao's army is blocking the back! Zang Ba blocked Changxi, and Lao Cao blocked Zang Ba!

What Cao Cao hopes most is for the Taishan Army to fall apart, and if Zang Ba does this, it means that the Taishan Army is really doomed. Zang Ba himself may be able to survive for a while, just like Xu You, but he will never live long.
To be continued...
