The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Zang Ba is not a hesitant person. On the contrary, he is very decisive in his actions under normal circumstances, but this time the matter is too involved, so it is difficult for him to make a decision.

"Brother, what is there to hesitate?" Sun Guan still tried his best to instigate Zang Ba, "Even if we retreat into Xiapi with Chen Gong and the others, when the city is broken, we will not only die in battle or There are two options to surrender. The elder brother had nothing to do with Liu Bei originally, so naturally there is no need to die for him. Surrendering to Duke Cao would be the best choice at that time. Then Liu Bei is at odds with Cao Cao, but it is really time to hold on. Maybe He and his brothers will demote Mr. Cao all at once. If this is the case, Mr. Cao may value Liu Guanzhang and others the most. In addition, there is no shortage of generals in Cao Ying, and it will not be easy for the eldest brother to win a high position. It is a matter. And if you open the city and surrender at this time, it can be regarded as a great contribution, and when you meet Duke Cao in the future, you may be able to be promoted and reused by him.”

Zang Ba gritted his teeth and kept pacing, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.Although Zang Ba is not as ambitious as Lu Bu, and the idea of ​​competing in the world has nothing to do with him, but this does not mean that he is content with mediocrity.For Zang Ba, his utilitarianism is not weak, and he belongs to the kind of person who is determined to achieve great fame.After joining Cao Ying, spending the rest of his life in a mediocre position with a modest status is absolutely unbearable for him. This is his ultimate goal.

Sun Guan's words can be regarded as speaking of Zang Ba's heart.Originally under Lu Bu's account, he could be regarded as one of the best generals, but even if Cao Cao's account was not a fierce general, he was not much worse.If I wait until Xiapi City is broken before being "surrendered", I am afraid that I will not have much chance to make contributions.If you want to attract Cao Cao's attention immediately, I'm afraid the only way is to invite Cao Jun to join Xiaopei as Sun Guan said.

But will things really go as smoothly as Sun Guan thought?I have never had any dealings with Cao Cao, so I have no idea what his temperament is?Kaesong to meet the enemy, will such capricious behavior be disliked by Cao Cao, and even make him loathe him, and thus dislike him even more? In that case, he would really be self-inflicted.

Zang Ba shared his doubts with Sun Guan, and Sun Guan frowned after hearing this, which he hadn't considered just now.That's right, I don't know Cao Cao at all. If Cao Cao is a bit of a righteous person, it is not impossible to treat Zang Ba's actions as villainous and indifferent to him.If so, what should we do then?

"The matter has come to this point, whether to fight or not, it is up to the elder brother to decide." After thinking for a while, Sun Guan couldn't think of any other better way, so he could only say, "If you fight, elder brother has a certain chance to be attacked by Cao Cao." If it is used by the public, it may be detested and alienated by it. If you don’t fight, you may suffer from the heavy responsibility forever in the future.”

When Zang Ba heard what Sun Guan said, his mood became more complicated.If Sun Guanfang hadn't mentioned surrender to him at all, perhaps Zang Ba wouldn't have any other ideas.But now his heartstrings have been plucked, and it will not be so easy to restore the clarity of Lingtai.

What should I do? Seeing the passage of time bit by bit, it will soon be the agreed time to leave the city.

"Fight!" Zang Ba finally slapped his thigh suddenly and made his own choice.

"How does the elder brother decide to act?"

"Assemble the troops of the headquarters, take advantage of the unpreparedness of Chen Gong and others, capture him in one fell swoop, and then open the city gate to welcome Cao's army into the city!" Zang Ba said firmly.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Ba and Cheng Lian are quite embarrassing to say the least.

Regarding Cheng Lian, Zang Ba intends to win him over to his side, and he is absolutely sure that he can persuade the other party to support his decision.The reason is very simple. Firstly, there is a gap between Cheng Lian and Chen Gong, and secondly, he and himself are close friends, no worse than the relationship between himself and Sun Guan.

Sure enough, when Zang Ba and Cheng Lian mentioned capturing Chen Gong and opening the city gate to welcome Cao Jun, he only agreed to act with him after thinking for a while.

When it was time to leave the city, everyone led their troops to the north gate that had been agreed in advance, ready to abandon the city and flee.

"All the generals are here, let's go..." Chen Gong looked around at the generals and said.

"Military division, we have changed our minds and don't want to leave Xiaopei!" Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Zang Ba shouted suddenly.

Chen Gong was surprised, and then became annoyed.Didn't we all discuss it before, how could you change your mind at such a critical moment!

"Why is this?" Chen Gong asked in a deep voice, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Xiaopei retreated to Xiapi if he couldn't defend, but we all saw the strength of Cao's army. Could Xiapi be able to defend? When Xiapi can't be defended, where should we retreat?" Zang Ba said carelessly. Said, the tone is extremely bad.

"Then what do you do?" Chen Dao asked coldly after hearing Zang Ba's words and knowing that something was going to happen.

"In my opinion, the only way out is to surrender to Duke Cao!" Zang Ba said straight to the point without hiding his thoughts.

"Zang Xuangao! In the past, when the lord was here, he treated you very well. Don't dare to think of rebelling against the enemy!" Chen Gong heard this, his face flushed with anger, and he immediately cursed.

Surrender to Cao Cao, what a joke, in the whole of Xuzhou, who has the deepest dispute with Cao Cao besides Lu Bu?Not Liu Bei and others, but Chen Gong!It can be said that the whole Xuzhou can surrender Liu Bei, only Chen Gong can't!

"My lord has treated me well, but if you ask me, I am more ashamed of my lord to vote for Liu Bei than to vote for Cao Cao!" Zang Ba had torn his face at this time, and he was not polite to Chen Gong in his words, "The death of my lord Liu Bei's responsibility is far greater than that of Cao Cao. I waited for the remnant soldiers to join Liu Bei, but he abandoned our army here in Xiaopei, and the Lord suppressed it at the slightest move, so that our army's strength could not be replenished for a long time. When Cao Cao came to attack, the other He also pushed the lord to die at the forefront. His vicious thoughts are well known to all women and children. Everyone knows that the military division and Duke Cao are not on good terms, but the military division has also received the lord's kindness after all, and now he has gone to vote for Liu Bei. Poor lord. At this time, if there is a spirit under the spring, it will die without peace!"

"Nonsense!" It was Chen Gong and Chen Dao who yelled at the same time.Chen Gong was extremely annoyed because he did not want to surrender Cao, while Chen Dao was ashamed and angry when he heard Zang Ba slander Liu Bei in this way, even though what Zang Ba said was not far from the truth.

"The matter has come to an end, it's useless to talk!" Zang Ba didn't intend to persuade them with a single tongue, and immediately shouted, "Where are our soldiers and horses, quickly capture Chen Dao and Chen Gonger people!"
