Chapter 30 Mount Tai Zang Ba
Lu Bu said: "Okay, follow the advice of the military advisor and not stationed Pengcheng for the time being. After the new recruits are trained, they will arrange to station. Another important thing is General Zangba of Taishan. What do you think about this?"
Zang Ba is known as the bandit of Mount Tai and is a rare powerful general. He is an ally of Lu Bu. When he fought with Cao Cao last year, he had a good relationship with Lu Bu. He fought with Cao Cao and was greatly injured.
Chen Gong said: "Zang Ba is now hiding in Huaxian in the mountainous area of the northern part of Langya. His soldiers are only about two thousand. Zang Ba is swaying and is choosing between the lord and the thief Cao."
Gao Shun came out and said, "I am willing to lead my troops to persuade Zang Ba to come and surrender."
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, and Chen Gong nodded.
Lu Bu said: "Okay, bring my sword, pull two hundred mules, carry 60,000 kilograms of cornmeal, 2,000 bags of large bone noodles, and 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes. Tell him that Lu Bu treats him like a brother, weapons, and food supplies in a unified manner in the future, and treats them equally."
"What if he doesn't come?" Gao Shun asked.
Lu Bu said: "When it is time to stop, you will have troubles. If Zang Ba is willing to come, you will let the soldiers Zang Ba come, or the general who leads the troops. If Zang Ba is unwilling to come, you will come to Xuzhou with Zang Ba's head and his soldiers to accept the adaptation."
"Yes, ensure that the task is completed." Gao Shundao.
Lu Bu arranged: "The road is far away. You must not disturb the people along the way. You will not rob the grain when starving to death, and you will not demolish the house when you are frozen to death."
Gao Shun nodded to show that he understood.
Lu Bu waved his hand and asked him to take a commander and handed it to Gao Shun, who led the camp to set off.
It takes about 400 miles from Xuzhou to the northern part of Langya, and it takes five or six days to reach the elite soldiers like the camp.
Wei Yue led one thousand troops to Xiapi, and Gao Shun led seven hundred troops to Hua County. The huge military camp was empty a lot.
Let’s talk about Gao Shun leading the seven hundred camps, pulling two hundred mules of goods, and driving them to Hua County.
The Crane Camp was the main force of Lu Bu, with excellent armor and equipment. During the Three Kingdoms period when armor was lacking, everyone in the Crane Camp had lightweight fish-scale armor, equipped with steel knives and crossbow arrows. Moreover, the soldiers in the Crane Camp were soldiers retained in several wars, and they could be said to be the elite among the elite.
Gao Shun was not at the camp and traveled a hundred miles a day. The speed of this marching alone was much stronger than that of other infantry soldiers. Not to mention fighting, he could be exhausted even if he walked.
I walked all the way and stayed overnight, walking along the way, but I saw traces of war everywhere, and the people were suffering. The huge Xuzhou is now full of devastation.
On the morning of the fifth day, Gao Shun led the camp to the Huaxian County, with a large banner with the word Zang flying above the city.
Seeing that soldiers came, the city gate had already been closed.
Gao Shun shouted under the city: "Please come and talk back."
"Wait, we report to the general immediately."
The soldiers went to report that Zang Ba was drinking in the mansion, and he lost all the land in battle. The soldiers were all lost. Now there were only two thousand soldiers. Fortunately, Huaxian Town is his hometown, and it is quite reasonable to eat, drink food and grass.
"General, General Gao Shun has arrived." The soldier reported.
Zang Ba stood up, put down his wine glass, sighed, and said, "What should be here is here, how many soldiers he has brought."
"Hundreds of soldiers, hundreds of mules, and the mules carry baggage.
Zang Ba stood up to tidy up his clothes, led a team of soldiers, and opened the city gate.
Zang Ba came out on a horse, and Gao Shun turned over and dismounted early.
Zang Ba also dismounted and bowed: "Brother Gao Shun, it's been a good time recently."
Gao Shun patted the exquisite iron armor on his body, kicked the camouflage rubber shoes under his kick, and said, "New clothes, new shoes, and you can eat and wear warmly every day."
"This is incomparable. You are the direct descendant of Wenhou." Zang Ba said as he introduced Gao Shun to Huaxian Town.
Gao Shun said: "Brother Xuan Gao, there are 60,000 kilograms of grain (Hanjin) on the mule, and 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes, the supplies for you."
Zang Ba was very happy that food is more important than life these days.
Looking at the cloth shoes again, they are camouflage rubber-soled shoes that are exactly the same as those worn by the camp.
Zang Ba was very happy and distributed his shoes to the army.
"Kill pigs and sheep, and treat General Gao."
After the banquet was held, after drinking for a while, Zang Ba said, "Brother Gao Shun, you can't just deliver things to me when you are far away."
Gao Shun said: "Mr. Wen is determined to support the Han Dynasty and needs a good player like General Zang Ba. Brother Xuan Gao is the pearl, so how can he hide in the countryside?"
"This." Zang Ba was a little hesitant.
Zang Ba himself knew that he was just a general, and he was just a good person to lead troops to fight and defend the city. He didn't have the ability to do anything else. He wanted to find a good lord, but he never could do it as he wished.
"Mr. Wen is now occupant of Xuzhou, and he can't finish his food and grass. The 30,000 army can be achieved in half a year. The most important thing is that Mar. Wen loves soldiers like his sons and respects the virtuous and the nobles. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. Although there are many soldiers in Xuzhou, there are not many people who can lead troops. It is nothing more than Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and me. If you pass by, you will be a general." Gao Shun said.
"What if I don't agree?" Zang Ba asked.
Gao Shun said: "My lord said that if Xuan Gao doesn't join Xuzhou, he will definitely join Cao's thief. He will still fight with each other. So if you don't agree, lord will ask me to take your head back."
Zang Ba said, "Don't do it, this is what a man should look like. I agree to go with you to meet Wen Hou and officially join the Xuzhou army."
"It was the time for Xuan Gao to come. The lord recently had a lot of food and supplies, and all his soldiers could get supplies. The person who came brought two thousand bone soup noodles," said Gao Shun.
The soldiers of the camp brought dozens of boxes of bone soup noodles.
Zang Ba was puzzled and said, "What is this?"
"This is the military ration made by our lord. The noodles that can be eaten with boiling water are soaked. They are so delicious and have a lot of oil and water. They are all given to the soldiers." Gao Shun said.
Zang Ba immediately followed the method Gao Shun said, letting the Huotou Army boil water. The soldiers put the noodles into the bowl and poured them in boiling water. After a while, the seasonings were added, and a fragrant smell came straight into the brain.
"It smells so fragrant. This ingredient bag is actually a precious spice. It seems that Mr. Wen is really rich, no, he is the lord. It seems that the lord is really rich." Zang Ba said happily.
"This is naturally. Most soldiers like to eat this noodles very much. Xuzhou army named it "Skin Whip Noodles, which means that they would rather get a whip than throw it away." Gao Shun introduced.
Zang Ba took a bite and said, "It smells so fragrant. Go quickly, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li called him to eat together."
After a while, the three of them arrived. Sun Guan and Wu Dun were both top-notch men, tall and big. Yin Li looked like a literati and had a thin figure.
When Sun Guan saw that it was Gao Shun, he was a little surprised and asked, "I dare to ask, General Gao Shun."
"General Sun is Gao." Gao Shun replied.
