There was a name for war in later generations called agent war!

You don’t have to go barefoot in person and fight with a group of gay men with shirtless hands is called a battle for hegemony. Spend some money and send others to work. When they fight to the point of losing both sides, you come over and pretend to be a savior. This is what the wise man does.

Now that Wang Hou does not have the strength to annex Zang Ba, this rich man, then he will benefit him and increase his strength so that he can't suppress his desire to attack and attract enemies everywhere. You know, he often walks by the river, where can he not get wet his shoes? When he falls apart, Wang Hou can take action!

I'm so bad!

While following the horse, Wang Hou laughed out loud, but before he could laugh, a crisp and curious voice rang beside him again.

"What is Zhou Mu laughing at? It looks so evil!"

Wang Hou's smile couldn't help but choke there, and then he rolled his eyes impatiently.

"It's evil! You'll know when you get married!"

"Hmph, forget it, stingy!"

Following his horse, the eldest lady of Zhuge family, who was holding the reins and wrapped in a big scarf, turned her head and her mouth rose again.

I really don’t understand why Cao Hongjie sent this girl to see him. Isn’t she afraid that she would be caught by him as she looked at him like Lu Ji last time? She glanced at this girl with a strange look, and Wang Hou focused on her attention in front again.

Zang Ba mobilized a lot this time, mobilizing more than 20,000 Taishan bandit infantry and cavalry, and dispatched another 5,000 Sun Guan and 4,000 Yin Li. He originally wanted to transfer Chang Xi's troops, but last time the two families had a feud, Chang Xi did not give Zang Ba face this time.

The armored weapons he brought were also equipped by Zang Ba. The horse army's newly-drawn horseshoe stomped on the frozen snow and clattered. The heavy infantry of the vanguard wore two turtle shell-like plate armor given by Wang Hou, carrying the new steel halberd. While walking, he was rubbing his hands. The steel armor could indeed provide a good defense, but he was powerless against the biting cold weather.

Seeing the white air rising and falling like chimneys, Wang Hou couldn't help but shook his head secretly while sighing at the anti-freeze of the ancients in this era.

Cotton! It must be made next year!

The target of this expedition was Zhucheng. After the division of Langya Kingdom in the late Han Dynasty, the central area of ​​Chengyang County was about the area around Weifang City in later generations. Here, from Nanju County, Rizhao City and other places were all desolate areas, and from the north were Pingchang, Gaomi, Dongwu, Gumei and other counties. Whether it was a city or a population, they became rich all of a sudden.

It is not Wang Hou's whim to fight here. Geographically, Zhucheng and Ju County and Rizhao are close to forming an isosceles triangle. In terms of strength, it can threaten his newly built Rizhao City anytime and anywhere. In terms of economy, Zhucheng County and Wang Hou's urban cluster in the middle of Lu are very rich. Once the Tai bandits pass by, it will definitely cause a large number of local population to flee. As long as one-fifth of them flee south, Wang Hou will make a profit. His Rizhao Port City is too lacking in population labor, especially after winter, he still wants to reclaim cotton fields, which requires a lot of manpower!

It would be better to get another ten thousand strong men! Unconsciously, Wang Hou fell into his own world again, breathing in the air conditioner and pondering.

But at this time, his cold hands suddenly warmed up, and he turned his head in surprise and grabbed his hand. Zhuge Ying was already in a silly and sweet-white image as usual, screaming in a hurry and sharp manner.

"Shield array! Protect the state governor!"

Wang Hou could only hear this clearly when two Taishan bandits riding horses in front of him were whistling in the snow-rolled sword wind, and his shrill roaring.

"The forward encounters the Eagle Claw Grandson and pulls the living side by side!"

Have you met an enemy here?

…………

Like in the performance, a gong sounded a gong and a squatted out! Or in the anti-Japanese drama, the Japanese squatted into the grass, and the Japanese walked in step and crawled into the encirclement, basically it was to pull! First, there were not many big mountain kilns everywhere, and marching generally avoided entering these dangerous places. Second, sending reconnaissance cavalry is the basic quality of every qualified military commander. For example, when Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north, the scout cavalry could even explore the march route within three days in advance. For example, in southern Shandong, they were spared by Mount Tai and marched in central Shandong, and more often they walked on the flat plains. The ambush they encountered was also the one side taking advantage of the other side's unpreparedness and suddenly arranged an attacking formation to break into the other's military field.

After all, they have been a thief for many years. Zang Ba's Taishan Army, in terms of organizational level and morale, were much stronger than those of Taishan bandits who went south to plunder Langya Kingdom. Listening to the roar of the whistle-snooping horse guards, the small leaders also started to yell. The marching team that had originally pulled the long strips quickly became thick and flat like the dough, and turned into a horizontal line.

The bandits holding shields or spears and armor walked to the front of the team, and light infantry bandits wearing short swords and cloth clothes were huddled behind. At the front was the most coveted army that Wang Hou had, the Taishan bandit archer!

In this era, Mount Tai was rugged, with many deer, wild boars and tigers. Many old hunters in the mountains had mastered their skills in shooting. Among Zang Ba's command, the archery troops were the most outstanding. Training archers took too much time and expense, and this part was also the most in short supply of Wang Hou.

Although it cannot be called a strong formation, it is still a battle formation. Zhang Wang Li Zhao and Liu's flags of various leaders poured forward. The Taishan formation, which had been in full force for more than 20 minutes, finally pressed forward like a black wall.

这次王厚一共带来了三百多近卫,不过他可不想把自己这点实力耗费在这里,他也是很猥琐的将部队尽量塞到后面,足足又行进了十多分钟,大队伍这才抵达战场.

Riding on the horse, Wang Hou stretched his neck to visit, and several small hills were thinking below. There were also a dense array of yellow lines, densely packed with flags with Yuan characters dancing in the wind, and a large flag with Jiang characters hit the forefront of the entire army.

The troops of Jiang Qi, the prefect of Chengyang!

At this time, the vanguard of the Taishan Army had already had a fire with the opponent. Just as the horse army was crisscrossing, thousands of Taishan riders rode to Jiang Qi's formation, and suddenly shot an arrow, then turned around and ran away. The heavy rain of arrows was crackling. Even the heavy army array of Jiang Qi's troops could only walk slowly, and the vanguard was also archers and crossbowmen repeatedly shot arrows and counterattacks. From time to time, you could see that Taishan cavalry was shot down.

Relying on the cavalry, Zang Ba finally delayed enough time to survive the arrival of his main infantry force.

Just as Wang Hou was stunning, Zhuge Ying behind him was curious and stared at the telescope in his hand with greed. A sound of horse hooves sounded, and a large banner of Zang also moved to the center of the military formation. He handed Wang Hou the telescope at hand, and did not care about Zhuge Ying's cheers. He rushed to the front, and stared at the thick Yuan army side by side with Zang Ba, Wang Hou asked hurriedly.

"What's the situation?".

"have no idea!"

Shaking his head, Zang Ba's bearded face was indescribably gloomy, and his tricks were full of murderous intent!
Chapter completed!
