Zang Ba is not a person with a hesitant personality, on the contrary, under normal circumstances, he is still very decisive, but this time the matter is too big, so it will be difficult for him to make a decision.

"Big brother, what else is there to hesitate about?" Sun Guan still tried hard to instigate Zang Ba, "Even if we retreat into Xiapi with Chen Gong and them, when the city is broken, there are not only two options: die in battle or surrender. The eldest brother originally had nothing to do with that Liu Bei, so naturally there was no need to serve him to the death, and surrendering to Cao Gong would be the best choice at that time. That Liu Bei is inseparable from Cao Cao, but it is really time to hold on. Maybe he and his brother will descend to Cao Gong in one go. If this is the case, then Cao Gong probably values Liu Guanzhang and others the most. In addition, Cao Ying originally had no shortage of generals, and it was not easy for the eldest brother to win a high position. And if the city is surrendered at this time, it can be regarded as a great merit, and when he sees Cao Gong in the future, he may be able to be promoted and reused. ”

Zang Ba gritted his teeth and kept pacing, obviously doing a fierce ideological struggle. Although Zang Ba is not as ambitious as Lu Bu, and ideas such as chasing the world have nothing to do with him, this does not mean that he is willing to be dull. For Zang Ba, his utilitarianism is not strong, and he belongs to the kind of person who has the heart to achieve great fame. After entering Cao Ying, he spent the second half of his life in a non-high and low-level identity, this kind of life is absolutely unbearable for him, and this is his ultimate goal.

Sun Guan's words can be regarded as talking about 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, it was not much worse. If he waits until the city of Xiapi is broken and then "surrendered", I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities to make contributions. If you want to attract Cao Cao's attention immediately, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to invite the city to surrender and invite Cao Jun into Xiaopei as Sun Guan said.

But will things really go as smoothly as Sun Guan thought? I've never had any dealings with Cao Cao, so I don't know what his temperament is at all? Kaicheng to meet the enemy, will such capricious behavior be disliked by Cao Cao, and even make himself disgusted by him, so as to dislike himself even more, in that case, it is really self-inflicted and cannot live.

Zang Ba told Sun Guan about the doubts in his heart, and Sun Guan also frowned and pondered after hearing this, which he did not take into account. Yes, I don't know anything about Cao Cao, if Cao Cao is a bit upright, and regards Zang Ba's actions as villains, so as to be indifferent to him, it is not impossible. If so, what then?

"The matter has come to this point, whether to fight or not to fight, it is all up to the eldest brother to decide." After thinking for a while, Sun Guan couldn't think of any other better way, so he could only say, "Fight, then the eldest brother has a certain chance to be reused by Cao Gong, and it is also possible that he will be disgusted and alienated." If you don't fight, I am afraid that you will never be able to bear the heavy responsibility in the future. ”

Zang Ba heard Sun Guan say this, and his mood was even more complicated. If Sun Guan hadn't mentioned anything like surrender to him at all, maybe Zang Ba wouldn't have any other ideas. But now that his heartstrings have been plucked, it is not easy to restore the clarity of the Lingtai again.

What should I do, seeing that time is passing bit by bit, it will soon be the agreed time to leave the city.

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

"What did Big Brother decide to do?"

"Gather the people of the headquarters, take advantage of the unpreparedness of Chen Gong and others, capture them in one fell swoop, and then open the city gate to welcome Cao's army into the city!" Zang Ba said in a firm tone.

————————————————————————————————

Lu Bu used to be a top eight general, but now he is still in Xiaopei City, only Zang Ba and Cheng Lian are left, which is quite embarrassing to say.

For Cheng Lian, Zang Ba intends to draw him to his side, and he is absolutely sure that he can convince the other party to support his decision. The reason is very simple, firstly, Cheng Lian has a gap with Chen Gong, and secondly, he is a good friend with himself, no worse than the relationship between himself and Sun Guan.

Sure enough, when Zang Ba and Cheng Lian mentioned capturing Chen Palace 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 headquarters to the north gate as agreed in advance, preparing to abandon the city and flee.

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

"Strategist, we have changed our minds and don't want to leave Xiaopei!" Before Chen Gong's words fell, he only heard Zang Ba suddenly shouting.

Chen Gong was surprised, and then became angry. Haven't we all discussed it before, how can you change your hexagram at such a critical moment!

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

"Xiao Pei can't defend it, so he retreats to Xiapi, but we can see the strength of Cao's army, can we hold it in Xiapi? At that time, if we can't defend it, where should we retreat? Zang Ba said with a grin, his tone extremely unkind.

"And how are you doing?" Chen Zhi heard what Zang Ba said, and he also knew that something was wrong, so he asked coldly at the moment.

"In my opinion, the only way out is to surrender to Cao Gong!" Zang Ba did not hide what he was thinking, and said straight to the point.

"Zang Xuangao! When the lord was in the past, he was not thin on you, and he dared to have the idea of rebellion! When Chen Gong heard this, his face turned red with anger, and he immediately scolded.

Surrender to Cao Cao, what are you kidding, in the entire territory of Xuzhou, who is the deepest in the festival with Cao Cao except for Lu Bu? It's not Liu Bei and others, it's him Chen Gong! It can be said that the entire Xuzhou can descend Liu Bei, but only he Chen Gong can't!

"The lord treats me well, but if you want me to say, I am more ashamed of the lord than Cao Cao!" Zang Ba had already torn his face at this time, and he was unceremonious to Chen Gong between his words, "For the death of the lord, Liu Bei has to bear far more responsibility than Cao Cao." We waited for the remnants of the army to take refuge in Liu Bei, but he abandoned our army in this Xiaopei, and the lord suppressed it at the slightest move, so that the strength of our army could not be replenished for a long time. Cao Cao came to attack, and he pushed the lord to death at the front line, and the viciousness of his mind can be said to be known to women and children. Everyone knows that the military advisor and Cao Gong are not on good terms, but after all, the military advisor is also favored by the lord, and now he goes to vote for Liu Bei, poor lord I is heroic, at this time, if there is a spirit under the spring, but he will die without turning a blind eye! ”

"Nonsense!" At this time, Chen Gong and Chen Zhi opened their mouths and scolded at the same time. Chen Gong was annoyed because he was unwilling to surrender to Cao, and Chen Zhi was ashamed and angry when he heard Zang Ba slander Liu Bei like this, although what Zang Ba said was not far from the truth.

"It's come to this, it's useless to talk about it!" Zang Ba didn't intend to be able to move them with a single tongue, so he immediately shouted, "Where are our soldiers and horses, quickly capture Chen Zhi and Chen Gong!" ”
