Chapter 181. On pretending to be a grandson
After waiting for more than forty minutes, Wang Hou was annoyed. Finally, he made a gap between Taishan Army guarding the mountain pass and moved the sharp wooden deer village that blocked the intersection. Xu Ling, the bodyguard just now, shouted weakly.
"My general has an order, you can come in! But be honest!"
"Prepare to go in!"
While yawning, Wang Hou was still confused and was about to walk towards the carriage. Who knew that Jia Xu, who had just walked halfway, got off the car and watched, reached out and pulled Wang Hou's sleeves.
"Dongweng, wait! We can't enter this village!"
“Why?”
There was no intention to come to find him, Zang Ba, but he was moved by Jia Xu. When he arrived at the door, the guy said he could not enter. Wang Hou was really depressed and asked in surprise.
"Just just now, Zang Hong reported his own family that you had already informed you that the Prime Minister had appointed you as the governor of Qingzhou. He was the governor of Qingzhou. He was nominally the same as you, but he should have come out to greet you in person, but he did not go to court and sent a subordinate to rule you into the city. This is very disrespectful! If the lord goes in like this, it will be even more difficult for him to recognize the lord Zhouzhu's identity!"
"So, we have to wait! When Zang Ba comes to greet him in person! If he doesn't come, we will rush in to kill you!"
He is worthy of being a poisonous man. Yi Ce said it was so murderous. Wang Hou really thought about it with his chin in agreement. However, after thinking for a while, he waved forward.
"Enter the village!"
"Master!"
I couldn't help but feel anxious. Jia Xu hugged his fist in a hurry, but Wang Hou yawned hard again.
"You have analyzed it for me. The Prime Minister photographed me as a confidant. The main task is to try his best to urge these Taishan bandits to march towards Qingzhou to restrain the power of Yuan Tan in Qingzhou to support Jizhou! No state patriarch is important. Besides, those who have no soldiers or generals in their hands are grandsons! If you are grandsons, you have to pretend to be grandsons! Just coax Zang Ba to send troops! Why are you so stubborn with him?"
"I don't want to sleep in the carriage tonight! Go in!"
Impatiently, Wang Hou pulled open the door of the four-wheeled carriage again and put Cao Hongjie's little head on his thighs. His head tilted and began to sleep. But he didn't notice, his shocked expression was calm. Jia Xu actually showed a satisfied and amused look. He didn't even enter the carriage and pulled a horse from his side. Following the swaying group of infantry soldiers, he stepped on the winding mountain road. While walking, he also looked at the soldiers of the Taishan Army on the mountain, armor, weapons, and the broken houses built on the hills they guarded. It was barely called Shangguan Pass.
This place has actually been released from Taishan County, which belongs to Ju County in the southeast of Chengyang County. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ju and Qi and Lu were once standing together on the land of Shandong, each claiming to be the hero. However, after all, Houyi, who was Jiang Ziya, was even more powerful and destroyed Ju. Four years ago, when Lu Bu was still there, Zang Ba sent troops to Taishan South, attacked Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, captured Ju County, and then moved his base to Ju County.
However, it makes sense to move here. Later generations belong to Ju County, Rizhao. The hills in southern Shandong happened to be wrapped in a large circle near here, with only a few broken gaps to enter. In the era of Cold Weapons, this terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. When walking in, it was a hilly plain. I don’t know if the branches of the Haihe River flowed here, and it was a good place to cultivate.
In June, the small plains were already covered with rare lushness.
However, for Wang Hou's newly arrived team, the residents on the small plain were obviously full of hostility and defense. Seeing the big banner of Wang's character walking by on the official road, the farmers who were still farming in the fields immediately threw away the guy and ran away. In the villages, the children who ran away were also gathered up. The men took hoes and shovels to guard Wang Hou's team carefully until the team passed by.
Another detail came into Jia Xu's eyes. In Xudu, Wang Hou, the farmers in Chenliu of Yingchuan almost used brand new and sturdy steel farm tools. However, the Taishan Army of Ju County were still using wooden hoes. Even the plows that opened the ridges and ditches were made of wood, and only the front was shabby wrapped with iron tips.
Zang Ba is short of iron!
The place is quite large. After entering Jushankou to the west, it took more than half an hour before the convoy arrived at the location of Juxian County. Although it was a land king and he hated Wang Hou's arrival, Zang Ba still didn't do too much. At the gate of Juxian County, he brought more than a dozen generals and a thousand personal soldiers. He finally showed up and waited there.
Not to mention, those who can become heroes at least have good faces. Zang Ba is like this. A typical Shandong man, a big man of more than 1.9 meters taller than Zhao Yun, without a helmet, with a hairband on his forehead, and long hair criticized him from both sides of his face, making his long face look a little square, thick eyebrows, big eyes, nose like a hanging gallbladder, and beard on his chin all add a bit of solemnity to him.
The voice was like a bell. At the convoy parked at the gate of the county town, Zang Ba bent over and shouted loudly.
"Langya Prime Minister Zang Ba! Meet the envoy!"
This title is cleverly used. When Zang Ba surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao gave him the official position of the Prime Minister of Langya. During the Guandu War, he entrusted him with the matter of Xu Bei Qingzhou. Although he did not say that he had officially accepted the title of the governor, it was equivalent to appointing him as the governor of Qingzhou!
However, after all, there is no real name, and Zang Ba did not want to recognize Wang Hou as the governor of the state, so he still used his old official position as the prime minister of Langya, and called Wang Hou the vague envoy.
Indeed, the governor can be called the envoy, but like a small field recruiter in Cao Hongjie, he can also be called the envoy.
However, just when Zang Ba was still waiting for the battle with a cold face, Wang Hou ran off the carriage with great excitement. He was like a victory meeting of 25,000 miles. He rushed to Zang Ba with extremely passionate tears, and held his hand and shook it heavily with great enthusiasm.
"General Zang, I can see you!"
"General, you don't know! This way, the bandits are everywhere, and the untouchables are living well, but they run to the mountains to be robbers! They robbed every day, and I almost couldn't see the general!"
As if he was still in shock, Wang Hou asked guiltily again while looking around.
"General, you are safe in Ju County? There will be no bandits coming in, right?"
It's so embarrassing! Zhao Yun's cheeks were thrusting straight, and he wanted to kick Wang Hou up, so he gave an advice..., but was pulled by Jia Xu. On this end, Zang Ba also had an unexpected look on his face. But after a moment, he regained his indifference. He clasped his fists gloomyly.
"Don't worry, I have a 100,000 army stationed in Ju County. Not to mention the small bandits, even the Yuan bandits cannot be attacked!"
"It's good! It's good! By the way, I've rushed one, and a bird has faded out of my mouth! General Zang, will there be a reception banquet tonight?"
"Go back to the envoy, there is! Please enter the city!"
Turning his burly body coldly, Zang Ba immediately led the way in front, with his back facing Wang Hou. Listening to his frivolous footsteps, a sense of contempt appeared on his square face!
