When Chen arrived, Chen Gong's expression changed drastically. Although Zang Ba had spoken harshly to them before, they would never have expected that he would attack in public tonight and even send troops to threaten them.
Xiaopei City suffered huge losses after a hard battle yesterday. There are only 3,600 soldiers in the city. Among these 3,600 people, there are about 1,100 people from the Zang Ba tribe, about 900 people from the Chenglian tribe, and the rest
The remaining 1,600 people were under the command of Chen Dao.
Chen Dao controls an army of 1,600 men. If he is really prepared, he will definitely be able to fight. But the problem is that he has no defense against Zang Ba and Cheng Lian in advance.
The soldiers under his command were not prepared to fight at all, but the opponent had already rushed to them, raising their weapons and slashing at the soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles together during the day.
Chen Dao had managed the army well. After Lu Bu's death, the soldiers under his command were the most powerful in Xiaopei City. However, the current performance of this powerful army was panic and helplessness.
Zang Ba has already galloped towards Chen Dao. He must capture Chen Dao in the shortest possible time and completely control the situation.
Although Chen Dao's troops were caught off guard, they were elites after all. As long as they were given a moment of time, they would be able to recover from the panic. By then, the battle might be in a stalemate.
In order to ensure that the situation does not escape from your control, you must capture Chen Dao as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
However, although Chen Dao is not a first-rate general, his martial arts skills are not outstanding, and he is slightly better than Zang Ba.
It had been some time since Chen Dao led his troops into Xiaopei. Zang Ba also had a certain understanding of his strength and knew that it was difficult to defeat him with his own strength, so he shouted: "Cheng Lian, Sun Guan helps me!"
Hearing Zang Ba's call, Cheng Lian and Sun Guan rode out to kill Chen Dao.
By this time, Chen's face was ashen.
He is self-aware that even if Cheng Lian and Sun Guan come over, he will have no choice but to capture them, let alone two people rushing over at the same time?
He wanted to escape, but as long as he didn't fall into the opponent's hands, the situation wouldn't be too bad. If not, he could at least lead more than a thousand people to break out and go straight to Xiapi, even if those thieves didn't have the guts to chase Xiapi
.
Unfortunately, although Zang Ba's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Chen Dao, he is now clinging to Chen Dao with all his might, preventing him from even the slightest chance of escaping.
Cheng Lian and Sun Guan quickly came to kill him, and the three of them surrounded Chen Dao in a zigzag formation, causing him to completely lose the chance to escape.
Chen Dao was just Chen Dao, not Lu Bu. Although he had a certain degree of martial prowess, now that he was one against three, he immediately became in a panic.
Less than ten minutes into the fight, he was hit in the back and stabbed hard by Cheng Lian with a gun.
After his back was injured, Chen Dao struggled to hold on for three or four more times, but finally he couldn't hold on any longer, and the spear in his hand was shot down by Sun Guan. Seeing this, Zang Ba seized the opportunity and grabbed Chen Dao's neck hard.
In the past, it was pitiful that Chen Dao was considered a good general with poor military skills, but now he was captured by Zang Ba in such an embarrassing situation.
Now that Chen Dao has been captured, the situation in that scene will soon be completely controlled by Zang Ba and others. Of the 1,600 people in Chen Dao's army, about 600 were killed or fled, and the remaining 1,000 were
After he laid down his weapons and surrendered, he was taken in by Zang Ba.
As for military advisor Chen Gong, before Chen Dao was captured, he had been captured by Zang Ba's general and Sun Guan's brother Sun Kang.
"Open the city gate and send envoys to Cao Ying to welcome Cao's army into the city!"
——————————————————————————————————I’m afraid Cao Cao would never have thought that Xiaopei City would be under his rule like this
It's down.
"Are you the general who will open the door to the city?" Looking at the man with a resolute face and a determined look in front of him, Cao Cao felt that a person with this kind of temperament should not be a guy who betrays his master and surrenders to the enemy.
"Back to Mr. Cao, he is the last general." Zang Ba replied calmly.
"Why did you do this betrayal?" Cao Cao deliberately tried in a displeased tone. If the other party was frightened because his attitude suddenly changed, then it means that he is not a useful person.
Seeing Cao Cao's unkind tone, Zang Ba was also shocked, but he knew that he had to hold on even more at this time. He might have left a repeated impression in Cao Cao's mind. If he made the other party think he was weak again, then Cao Cao would
The camp really has no place to stay.
"The general dares to ask Duke Cao whether our lord Lu Fengxian has died in battle?" After thinking quickly in his mind, Zang Ba did not immediately answer Cao Cao's question, but asked boldly.
Cao Cao was startled, but then he felt that the person in front of him was interesting, so he said, "Indeed, Lu Bu is dead."
"I, Zang Ba, am a general of Marquis Wen. Now that Marquis Wen is dead, I am a man without a master. I can surrender to anyone I want. Can you say that my surrender is a betrayal?"
"Xiaopei is Lu Bu's city. Now that Lu Bu has just died, you are dedicating the city to him. Aren't you a disloyal person?"
"What Mr. Cao said is wrong. Xiaopei is Liu Bei's city. Our lord only lives here temporarily. Even though my lord is deceased, this city has nothing to do with it. I offer Liu Bei's city to Mr. Cao. How can I be disloyal?"
In response to Cao Cao's successive questions, Zang Ba carefully considered his words and answered carefully, but he still had to look carefree and matter-of-fact on his face.
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and stroked his beard, indicating that he recognized Zang Ba, so he stopped using words to test and embarrass the other party. He put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "General, you are really interesting!"
Later, Cao Cao worshiped Zang Ba as Zhonglang General. Zang Ba thanked him and called Cao Cao his lord.
Just when Cao Jun soldiers were escorting Chen Gong, Chen Gong and Chen Gong came. When Chen Gong saw Zang Ba, he cursed him loudly. Zang Ba was awarded the title of Zhonglang General and was in a good mood. He allowed Chen Gong to scold him and ignored him.
Then some soldiers came to report that they had captured Lu Bu's family. When he heard the news, Zang Ba's face became obviously embarrassed.
Zang Ba was so embarrassed at this time, how could he have forgotten this! Even if he dedicated the city, he had to find Lu Bu's family members in advance and send them away. Fortunately, now, they were captured by Cao Cao. If they were treated with any humiliation, what would happen if they were treated humiliatingly?
He must bear the blame himself. He had just told Cao Cao earlier that this city had nothing to do with Lu Bu and there was no harm in dedicating it to him. However, Lu Bu's family members were all still in the city. Does this mean it had nothing to do with it?
It's like giving the old owner's family members to the new owner with your own hands. Isn't this okay?
In an instant, Zang Ba's face turned extremely ugly.
Cao Cao saw Zang Ba's expression clearly, so he secretly guessed what he was thinking. In Cao Cao's view, Zang Ba was loyal to his old master and was afraid that Lu Bu's family would suffer. At the same time, he blamed himself for not caring about Lu Bu's family earlier.
problem, that’s why I reacted this way.
"A truly loyal and righteous man!" Cao Cao sighed secretly, and then ordered, "Treat Lu Bu's family well, and behead anyone who treats them unfairly!"
