Chapter Eighty-Five: The Occupation of Xiaopei (Part II)
Chen Dao and Chen Gong's faces changed greatly, although Zang Ba had spoken ill of each other before, they would never have expected in advance that he would attack in public tonight, and even send troops to threaten each other.
After a bitter battle yesterday, Xiaopeicheng suffered huge losses, and there were only 3,600 soldiers in the city. Among these 3,600 people, there are about 1,100 people in the Zang Ba Department, about 900 people in the Cheng Lian Department, and the remaining 1,600 people are under the command of Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi controls an army of 1,600 people, and if he is really prepared, he will definitely have the strength to fight. But the problem is that he was defenseless against Zang Ba and Cheng Lian in advance.
The soldiers under his command were not ready to fight at all, and the other party had already killed him, raised his blade and slashed at the robes who were still fighting together during the day.
After Lu Bu died, the soldiers under his command could be said to be the strongest in Xiaopei City today, but now the performance of this strong army is panicked and helpless.
Zang Ba has already galloped towards Chen Dao, and he must capture Chen Dao in the shortest possible time and completely control the situation.
Although Chen Zhibu was caught off guard now, they were elite after all, and as long as they were given a little time, they might be able to recover from the panic, and the battle situation might fall into a stalemate at that time.
In order to ensure that the situation does not get out of his control, he must take down Chen Zhi as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
However, although Chen Zhi is not a first-class general, his martial arts are not covered, and he is slightly better than Zang Ba.
Chen Zhi led his troops into Xiaopei for a while, and Zang Ba also had a certain understanding of its strength, and knew that it was difficult to defeat it alone, so he shouted: "Cheng Lian, Sun Guan help me!" ”
Hearing Zang Ba's call, Cheng Lian and Sun Guan rode out together and killed Chen Dao.
By this time, Chen was already dead.
He is self-aware, even if Cheng Lian and Sun Guan come over again, they will only have to be caught, not to mention that the two of them rushed over together?
He wanted to escape, as long as he didn't fall into the hands of the other party, the situation wouldn't be too bad. No matter how bad it is, he can at least lead more than 1,000 people to forcibly break through and go straight to Xiapi, and those thieves don't have the courage to chase Xiapi.
But although Zang Ba's martial arts are not as good as Chen Dao's, he is now pestering Chen Zhi with a desperate posture, not allowing him to have the slightest chance to escape.
Cheng Lian and Sun Guan quickly killed in front of them, and the three of them surrounded Chen Zhi in a finished glyph, so that he completely lost the opportunity to escape.
Chen Zhi is just Chen Dao, not Lu Bu, although he has a certain degree of martial bravery, but now with one enemy and three, he immediately became in a hurry.
Before the battle, he was hit in the back and was stabbed by Cheng Lian with a gun.
After being wounded in the back, Chen Zhi struggled to hold on to three or four times, but in the end he couldn't support it, 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 as soon as he grabbed it. Poor Chen Zhi, who is also a good general with a military strategy, was captured by Zang Ba so embarrassed at this time.
Chen Zhi has been captured, and the situation in that scene will soon be completely controlled by Zang Ba and others. Of the 1,600 people in Chen's army, about 600 were killed or fled, and the remaining 1,000 were taken in by Zang Ba after laying down their arms and surrendering.
As for the military advisor Chen Gong, before Chen Zhi was captured, he had been captured by Sun Kang, the general of Zang Ba and the brother of Sun Guan.
"Open the city gate, send an envoy to Cao Ying, and welcome Cao Jun into the city!"
————————————————————————————————
I'm afraid Cao Cao would never have thought that Xiao Peicheng would fall under his rule like this.
"You're the one who opened the door and offered the city?" Looking at the man with a resolute face and a determined expression in front of him, Cao Cao felt that a person with this kind of temperament should not be a guy who turned his back on the enemy.
"Hui Cao Gong, it is the last general." Zang Ba replied calmly.
"Why did you commit such a rebellion?" Cao Cao deliberately tried to say in a disapproving tone, if the other party was frightened by the sudden change in his attitude, then it meant that he was not a usable person.
Seeing Cao Cao's unkind tone, Zang Ba's heart was also cold, but he knew that he had to hold on at this time, he might have left a repeated impression in Cao Cao's mind, if he made the other party feel that he was cowardly, then Cao Ying really had no place to live.
"The last general dares to ask Cao Gong, has my lord Lu Fengxian already died in battle?" After thinking about it roughly and quickly in his heart, Zang Ba did not immediately answer Cao Cao's question, but boldly asked rhetorically.
Cao Cao was stunned, but then felt that the person in front of him was a little interesting, so he said, "Indeed, Lu Bu is dead. ”
"I, Zang Ba, am Wen Hou's general, Wen Hou is dead, I am an ownerless person, I can vote for anyone I want, can An can say that he is a betrayal?"
"Xiao Pei is the city of Lu Bu, and now that he has just died, you will sacrifice his city, are you not a disloyal person?"
"What Cao Gong said is false. Xiaopei is Liu Bei's city, my lord only lives here temporarily, but my lord is deceased, this city has nothing to do with it. I dedicate Liu Bei's city and Cao Gong, why not be loyal? In the face of Cao Cao's successive questions, Zang Ba carefully considered his words and replied cautiously, but he still had to make a big and natural appearance on his face.
When Cao Cao heard this, he stroked his head and beard, which was regarded as recognizing Zang Ba, so he no longer used words to test the other party, and stroked his palms and laughed: "The general is really interesting!" ”
Then Cao Cao worshiped Zang Ba as the Zhonglang general, and Zang Ba thanked him, and then called Cao Cao the main prince.
Just as the soldiers of the Cao army escorted Chen Gong and Chen to the two, Chen Gong scolded Zang Ba again as soon as Chen Gong saw it. Zang Ba had to be awarded the Zhonglang general, and he was in a good mood, so he didn't pay attention to Chen Gong no matter how he scolded.
Then another soldier came to report, saying that he had caught Lu Bu's family. When he heard the news, Zang Ba's face obviously became much more embarrassed.
Zang Ba was embarrassed at this time, how could he forget this stubble! Even if you sacrifice the city, you have to find Lu Bu's family in advance and send them away. Now it's good that they were captured by Cao Cao, and if they were treated with any humiliation, they would definitely have to bear the guilt themselves. I just told Cao Cao that this city has nothing to do with Lu Bu, and it doesn't hurt to sacrifice it, but Lu Bu's family is still all in the city, is this called irrelevant, dedicating the city is equivalent to giving the family of the old lord to the new lord with his own hands, is this called okay!?
In an instant, Zang Ba's face became extremely ugly.
Cao Cao saw Zang Ba's expression clearly, so he secretly guessed the other party's thoughts. In Cao Cao's view, Zang Ba was loyal to his old master, fearing that Lu Bu's family would be punished, and at the same time blaming himself for not worrying about Lu Bu's family earlier, so he reacted this way.
"True Righteous Ear!" Cao Cao sighed secretly, and then ordered, "Treat Lu Bu's family well, if there is any neglect and mistreatment, behead!" ”
Zang Ba felt a little relieved at this time.
