Because of Yunshan's departure, Guanzhong, which had finally calmed down for a while, the competition between various forces began quietly again.

Although the people of Guanzhong knew that temporary peace would be wiped out soon, they still prayed humbly to the gods, and did their hard work and sweat, and worked hard to make a year's livelihood in the spring.

Even if there is still a little hope of survival, most people are unwilling to leave their hometown. They sincerely hope that Yunshan can return here as soon as possible and lead them to block the enemy's invasion again, so that the ravaged Han capital is as vibrant as many years ago, and that the Qiang and Hu cavalry can no longer drive here.

Yunshan in Xudu was not immersed in the gentle village as rumored.

In order to further disgust Yunshan, Cao Pi even stated that his sister would be mourning for three years and could not get married for the time being on the grounds that Cao Cao had just passed away.

This series of operations almost wrote the word "targeting" on his face. Seeing Yunshan had no choice but to bully him, Cao Pi's heart was as happy as drinking iced honey water in the dog days of autumn.

Although his confidants Xin Pi, Huan Jie and others advised him to forget it. Now he should be the first to compete with Yunshan, what should he do, the great writer Cao Pi cannot bear this kind of aura.

When I was not the King of Wei, you didn’t listen to me. Now when I became the King of Wei, you still didn’t listen to me. So why did I work hard for so many years?

Unless Yunshan bowed and cried and admitted his mistakes, Cao Pi would continue to cause all kinds of troubles for him, so that he would never be able to live in Xudu.

The military camp of Xuzhou Governor Zang Ba was outside Xudu City. When he came to Xudu to attend the funeral, he brought 300 cavalrymen and was stationed outside the city. After the Qingzhou soldiers mutiny and fled from Xudu, Zang Ba actively dispatched his subordinates to arrest people, but he did not move his troops and observed here secretly.

This famous general obviously had a lot of thoughts, and now he has begun to have a little rebellious meaning.

This is also one of the various hidden dangers left by Cao Cao's death too early.

Cao Cao was still alive, and by destroying Ma Teng and Han Sui, he used more gentle means to eliminate all kinds of rebellious officials in the court. He laughed out Zang Ba's military power little by little, and he did not dare to rebel with Zang Ba's ten thousand courage.

But because the king must die, Cao Cao's physical condition worsened. He knew that his son Cao Pi was not capable enough, so he could only force his king to be king. He forced Xun Yu, who was far above his son, to death, and then severely damaged Yang Biao with the Yang Xiu case, barely leaving Cao Pi with a situation where there were fewer opponents. But he could no longer effectively deal with military leaders like Zang Ba, and could only wait for Cao Pi to solve it himself.

After the Qingzhou army defected, Cao Pi immediately appeased Zang Ba at the suggestion of Sima Yi, saying that the court believed that this matter had nothing to do with Zang Ba. It was a group of villains who believed the rumors and ran away privately. The court's trust in Zang Ba was still as changed in the slightest as before.

This kind of nonsense must be able to maintain the situation for the time being. Zang Ba is obviously waiting and watching now. If Cao Pi can properly handle Xu Du's various things, the Great Wei really shows signs of a replacement of the Han Dynasty. He doesn't mind continuing to be a pure minister of the Great Wei and serving the Great Wei as before.

But if Cao Pi couldn't handle such a thing well and there were more and more rebellions around him, then Zang Ba wouldn't mind changing the party. It would be a pleasure to turn around and support the Han Dynasty.

Zang Ba was not so respectful to Cao Cao at the beginning. He even publicly hosted traitors, just like a prince. Later, because Cao Cao's power grew stronger and stronger, Zang Ba was forced to leave his comfort zone and maintain his position in fighting for Cao Cao.

He dreams of growing his power again, at least to return to his own state back then. The more Cao Pi is sick, the better Zang Ba's mood will be. It would be better that the world will continue to be in chaos so that there can be a way out for local warlords like them.

It is also because of this that Zang Ba was a little surprised when he heard that Yunshan was visiting. He thought for a while and had already made an idea.

"Can you know what the children in Yunshan are here to do?" Wu Dun, the prefect of Licheng under Zang Ba, asked carefully.

"What else can I do?" Mao Hui, the general of Zang Ba, said lazily, "He is Cao Pi's sister-in-law. He offended Cao Pi because of his kindness with Cao Zijian. Now he must be talking about the general's entry into the court as an official. Hey, what was the fate of Ma Teng entering the court before becoming an official? Even if he could become a three-month prince in the court, how could he be free and easy in Xuzhou?"

"A general might as well lay out five hundred knives and axes. When Yunshan enters the army, we will make him bow down together. We will definitely scare him so much that he dare not enter the camp. If Yunshan can scare Yunshan, Cao Pi has no means and will still have to order the general to supervise Xu Zhu's military as before."

The praises of these people under his command made Zang Ba quite proud, but as an old man who started to make a living in the era of competition, Zang Ba's judgment ability is still quite good.

Who is the friend and who is the enemy?

It is obvious that his great enemy is Cao Pi, who has just become the King of Wei. Yunshan was also hostile to anger Cao Pi before, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't win over it.

"You understand but don't understand." Zang Ba said lazily, "Don't treat Yunshan as an enemy. Are we not good friends? We all cheered up my spirits and followed me to see what this young general looked like."

So, Guan Ping came to Zang Ba's camp and said he was paying homage. Zang Ba not only did not stop him, but instead quickly greeted him with a happy look on his face.

"I heard about General Yun's name for a long time, and he is really a young man.

I hadn't gone to see the general yet, but I didn't expect that the general came to the door in person, which really made me shine."

Zang Ba, who was as majestic as an iron wall, walked out quickly with a light step.

After years of ups and downs, Zang Ba was able to naturally show a look of fear and fear, and just wanted to knock on Yunshan, who was younger than his son. Guan Ping also quickly went up to meet him and bowed to Zang Ba first, saying that he had seen his uncle.

Speaking of which, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang also had a lot of friendship with Zang Ba back then. He temporarily fought with Lu Bu to fight Cao Cao. After Lu Bu failed, he defected to Cao Cao to recruit everyone and gradually strengthened his power in the name of Langya Prime Minister.

At that time, Xu Xi and Mao Hui, under Cao Cao, took advantage of the Yanzhou Rebellion and later fled to Zang Ba's subordinates. Cao Cao sent Liu Bei, who was under his command, to Zang Ba, to ask for these two people. Zang Ba stubbornly said that I was ruthless and loyal enough and had many brothers. Although I obeyed Cao Gong, he should also use his loyalty to make me admire him. Could this forced tone teach me how to do things?

Cao Cao and Liu Bei had no choice but to face Zang Ba's uprightness. In the end, Cao Cao could only pinch his nose and spare the two rebel generals and let them become county magistrates.

After all, it was an old man back then. It was good for Yunshan to call him his uncle. When he heard Yunshan call himself a junior, Zang Ba was also very proud. He quickly stepped forward and helped Yunshan up and said with a smile:

"I heard the clouds for a long time..."

But after seeing Yunshan's appearance clearly, Zang Ba's calm appearance was gone at all, and his smile suddenly froze.

"Clouds, clouds, clouds..."

Seeing Yunshan smiling quite warmly, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his back was mostly wet.

What's going on? This guy is actually similar to Guan Yunchang back then!

"Hahahahahaha, General Yun actually reminded me of an old friend! I was really shocked.

I have disappeared from that old friend for ten years, and I don’t know if he is healthy as before.” Zang Ba smiled, walked with Yunshan and gently tested Yunshan’s situation, but he never expected Guan Ping nodded slowly:

"With Uncle Lao's concern, everything is fine for the old friend."

"Well……"

Zang Ba immediately remembered many rumors. He had heard rumors that Yunshan was Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu. He had sneaked into Cao's army and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao. Before his death, Cao Cao even asked him to take on major tasks and be the iron wall of Cao Wei.

If a person is in a high position, there will definitely be various rumors that are not good for him, but Zang Ba never expected that these rumors were true.

Even though he was calm, he was still a little afraid when he walked with Guan Yunchang's son.

The two entered Zang Ba's central army tent, and the stables were next to the tent. Zang Ba had already thought that if Cao Pi wanted to raid and take him down, he would immediately use force to fight out and then run away. As a bandit, they were all top escapers, and they could always escape back to Xuzhou after a little effort.

Zang Ba asked all his generals to leave, stared at Guan Ping with deep eyes, and whispered:

"What is it..."

Guan Ping did not hesitate and fell directly in front of Zang Ba:

"My nephew is Guan Ping, please help me!"

"Ah, ah?" Zang Ba was completely confused.

For a moment, he wondered if this was Cao Pi's plan, and asked Yunshan to deliberately pretend to be Guan Ping to induce his rebellion, but he immediately thought that this plan of taking off his pants and farting was useless at all.

His fingers trembled slightly and he whispered:

"Is my nephew... really the son of Chang Yun?"

"Yes! My father once said that Zang Ba of Taishan is not righteous and has the most important thing. As long as he comes to ask for his uncle's protection, he can avoid even a big thing!"

Zang Ba:...

Zang Ba must have his own extraordinary talents when he can go from a bandit to a mighty prince.

This person is cruel and ruthless and very loyal, which allows many bandits around him to come and seek refuge.

When Xu Xi and Mao Hui came to join Zang Ba, he was also afraid of offending Cao Cao, but Zang Ba was able to recruit so many people to join him because his extraordinary loyalty character was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Guan Ping seized this opportunity, took the initiative to lower his identity, and entrust his wealth and life to Zang Ba, which immediately made Zang Ba in a dilemma and couldn't say a word for a moment.

"Nephew, you are hurting me." Zang Ba was so amazed and crying.

The fact that supporting the Han Dynasty has never had any relationship with Zang Ba. In the past, Liu Bei came and went to Xuzhou several times, but he did not take the initiative to ask for help from Zang Ba. Why did he rely on him this time?
