Lu Su still smiled gently, but his words were not so gentle:

"Yes, General Zhang is a good pawn for Liu Bei, but he is still too busy to take care of himself, so how can he provide food and grass to the general? And if what I expected is not bad, Liu Bei is now negotiating with Ling Di and want to move Ling Di to Xionger Mountain District to intimidate Sima Fang and Liu Biao. If so, Liu Bei will invest a large amount of funding on Ling Di, not you."

Zhang Bao subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead. In fact, this season is not hot at all in the mountainous areas of Mount Tai, and it is even a little cool. However, Zhang Bao's face is a little red, which is obviously because of the strong heart fire.

"Xiong'er Mountain!?"

"Yes, Xionger Mountain, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are now very long, so they no longer care about Tongbai Mountain. Moreover, Liu Bei also intends to fight Cao Cao head-on, so there is no need to turn his hand to take advantage of Ling Di. In fact, General, your situation is very similar to Ling Di. Therefore, here we recommend that you imitate Zhang Jiaoshou."

"But, where can I go?"

Zhang Bao's words revealed his true thoughts. At this moment, he was confused, not about the confusion about the future, but about the confusion about the retreat. When Lu Su heard this, he was secretly happy, but his expression was not revealed at all.

"So where General Zhang wants to go?"

Lu Su asked with a smile, Zhang Bao looked at Lu Su in surprise. Lu Su seemed to want to hint in his words. Zhang Bao thought about it and asked back with some disbelief: "Can I go wherever I want?"

"No, this is obviously impossible. General Zhang wants to go to Chang'an, so we won't send General Zhang to you!"

Lu Su's words were puns, which not only expressed Youzhou's position, but also drew a circle for Zhang Bao.

"Mr. Lu means that as long as we go, General Fang is willing to help?"

"So you can say that."

Zhang Bao thought for a while, turned his head and looked at Zang Bawen who was sitting behind him and said, "Xuan Gao, what do you think Mr. Lu's proposal?"

"Second General, do you think Mount Tai is good, and there is something better than Mount Tai?"

Zhang Bao looked at Lu Su and signaled Lu Su to answer.

Lu Su sneered: "Shan Tai is good. Why can't you live for a long time? Although Mobei is deserted, Zhang Jiaoshou can create another situation there. General Zhang and Zhang Jiaoshou have a deep brotherhood, and they must have communication information. Could it be that he didn't know that Zhang Jiaoshou has developed very well in Mobei?"

"Haha, what is called good is just a little better than the mountain!"

"General Zang Ba. Look, General Zhang has answered this question."

Zang Ba nodded, agreeing with Lu Su's statement, but he still refused to give in: "Even so, Mr. Lu's words just now seem to be true. General Fang's conditions are not just that simple. There are nearly three million people in Mount Tai. Will General Fang be so generous to transport them away?"

"Of course this is impossible. Although our Lord is kind, he is not that there is too much money and food. The only ones that our Lord promised to transport were the regular army of the Yellow Turban Army and its families, and all the others needed to stay."

Zhang Bao's face suddenly turned dark. Compared with surrender, it seemed that it was not much worse.

"Hmph, it's outrageous! Fang Zhiwen has a big appetite. He wants to swallow three million people with just one mouth, which is a very deceptive person! Mr. Lu, today, for you are an envoy, I will not leave you behind, but I won't discuss this matter again, please go back!"

After saying that, Zhang Bao was about to get up and leave the seat. Lu Su smiled: "General Zhang, don't be upset. He said it was just a suggestion. If General Zhang was unwilling to accept it, why bother to be angry!"

Zhang Bao stopped his movements and sat down again. Zang Ba sighed secretly. It seemed that Zhang Bao was really panicked. Fang Zhiwen offered such conditions, and Zhang Bao seemed to be willing to accept it. The withdrawal of the seat just now was probably just a negotiation strategy. This time he turned around and sat down, he exposed his bottom line.

"It's not that I don't have the energy, but Mr. Lu's statement is really annoying. These people are my believers of the Yellow Turbans, so how can they abandon them? Even if they die with them, they dare not abandon them."

"General Zhang is kind and righteous, but what if you look at it the other way around?"

"What? What is the opposite?"

"What if you are not General Zhang now, but an ordinary Yellow Turban believer? If you know that after the Yellow Turban Army lifts the burden of these three million people, they can lead their elite troops to escape from the dead and create another situation, do you think that the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army should give up this opportunity, hold them together, and wait for the disaster to come?"

Lu Su was very cunning. He understood that things had basically been done before Zhang Bao left. Zhang Bao's actions just now were just acting, wanting to get more benefits. Now Lu Su's statement is actually to help Zhang Bao find excuses so that he could not hostage these three million people to benefit him.

What people's opinions? That's all fake. Not to mention how many real Yellow Turban believers are among the people. Now the Yellow Turban is weak. There are not many people who are willing to follow Zhang Bao wholeheartedly. Even in the regular Yellow Turban army, there may be people with different minds.

This is what Lu Su said. To put it bluntly, I hope Zhang Bao will leave behind how many people will fight to the end with everyone. Zhang Bao himself may also know in his heart.

"this"

"Actually, this is not difficult to know. As long as General Zhang makes some noise, everyone will naturally see what they think. Now what is happening in Mount Tai, I'm afraid the Yellow Turban people and soldiers are very clear. If General Zhang is not good at making a decision, why not let the people decide for themselves!"

“Let the people decide themselves?”

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that Lu Su was not giving him an idea, but told him that Fang Zhiwen could do this, and spread the rumors first, so that the people of Mount Tai were turbulent. At that time, Zhang Bao could only choose to accept Fang Zhiwen's "suggestions".

Zhang Bao looked at Lu Su hatefully. This young man who looked gentle and smiling was very dark in his heart, which was completely inconsistent with the gentle smile on his face.

Lu Su calmly picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank the tea. He turned a blind eye to Zhang Bao's resentful gaze, but cared about Zang Ba's slightly disappointed eyes.

Zang Ba, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Su and said, "Mr. Lu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may be worried that our army will be unreliable, so they want to attempt to swallow our army, but the existence of our army has indeed provided a cover for Kong Rong in Qingzhou. Don't General Fang think we have the value of existence?"

"Haha, General Zang Ba, since you are here, it means that your army is really unbearable in the eyes of our master."

"Although our army is indeed not as powerful as your army, it is not a soft persimmon. As long as there is food supply, it is no problem to use the Taishan Mountains to block Cao Cao and Yuan Shao."

"Haha, I believe this point. However, we must support three million people and provide your army with at least two to three hundred thousand troops to the effect of blocking Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. If these three million people belong to me, we can make them farm on the vast land of Youzhou, and then arrange about one hundred thousand mountain infantry in Mount Tai. Two to forty thousand cavalry can achieve the same effect. General Zang Ba, if you make a decision, what would you choose?"

Zang Ba opened his mouth, but didn't know what to use to refute it. At the same time, Zang Ba also understood one thing. The benefits of mountainous areas need no explanation, but with the foundation of mountainous areas, there must be a reliable extension to support mountainous areas. If the Yellow Turban Army could take over Qingzhou behind it in one fell swoop, relying on the land of Qingzhou and the steepness of Mount Tai, it might have been able to grow slowly, but it is obviously not possible now.

In fact, Zang Ba thought so, because he regarded the sea as a natural barrier. In fact, the sea is now a smooth road for the people of Youzhou. Even if Qingzhou is given to Zhang Bao, if Fang Zhiwen likes Qingzhou, Zhang Bao will have to move his nest, and there is no other choice.

Zhang Bao completely understood what "suggestions" he said. Lu Su was here to give him an ultimatum. He either waited for the complete annihilation in Mount Tai, or quickly got out of the bag without leaving Zhang Bao. It was already considered as Fang Zhiwen's kindness. Instead of cheating here, it would be better to quickly think about where to start a new situation.

After thinking through this, Zhang Bao suddenly felt much more relaxed. People’s worries were too many choices. When there was no choice, most people would quickly accept reality and at the same time relieve their worries.

"Mr. Lu, according to your opinion, where is the right place for us to go?"

Lu Su said: "Don't General Zhang want to go to Mobei to meet with Brother Ling? There are many believers there and the foundation is good. I think Brother Ling will definitely welcome you very much, after all, he is not young!"

Zhang Bao's heart thumped suddenly. What does Lu Su mean? Could it be that he supports his own struggle for the inheritance rights of Mobei? Think about the age of his elder brother Zhang Jiao, and the fact that he has no descendants, is it that the Zhang family's foundation really going to be handed over to those irrelevant adopted sons? The more Zhang Bao thought about it, the more he was dissatisfied, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Su's words were very reasonable.

Mobei has a huge foundation, and the world is open. Although the climate is relatively cold, it still has development potential. No matter how bad it is, as long as it can defeat the Hu tribe, it can still form a self-contained family in Mobei, which is better than going to another bitter and cold place to build a family from scratch.

Zhang Bao narrowed his eyes and said, "This matter concerns the life and death of millions of soldiers and civilians. Let me think twice. I will also consider what Mr. Lu mentioned just now."

"Of course, such a major matter must be considered and discussed carefully. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be moved thousands of miles at any time. If people are uncoordinated, they may suffer. Therefore, these things cannot be forced. General Zhang will think slowly and wait for General Zhang's decision for a few days."

“So great!”

After seeing Lu Su off, Zhang Bao and Zang Ba were speechless, thinking about their own thoughts. After a while, Zhang Bao said, "Xuan Gao, please call everyone to discuss. Lu Su is right, and this matter cannot be forced at all." (To be continued...)
