"General, rumors have spread in the city."

Just after noon, the lieutenant general rushed over in a hurry.

Zang Ba gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that Lu Bu deliberately laid it out, and I can't wait to kill him immediately." ”

The adjutant general said: "The last general has already sent someone to Yuan Jun to inquire about the situation, and there will be news back tonight at the latest." ”

"There is no room for failure in this matter, you go down to block the city gate first, in case Lu Bu plays conspiracy again, Chen Gong beside him is a complete villain, and it is extremely shameless to achieve his goal."

Zang Ba scolded indiscriminately, in the past, he suffered several times in the hands of Chen Gong.

"No!"

After the deputy general retired, Zang Ba was unable to sit still, and now he was entangled by Lu Bu in a dilemma, perhaps as Lu Bu said, Cao Cao was born as an official eunuch, how could he tolerate him, a thief of the rebels, but Lu Bu is not a good person, and now he is in danger.

"Husband, why are you so worried?"

A middle-aged woman came slowly, it was Zang Ba's wife Luo, who said to Zang Ba's blessing.

Zang Ba's heart tightened, and he recalled what Lu Bu said, in the past, Cao Cao lost the son of the general Dian Wei for a widow, Cao Ang, such an impetuous and indiscriminate thing was not done by a master.

"What did you hear?"

Luo replied: "Today in the city, I heard that Cao Cao was jealous and hateful, and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, I don't know ......."

Zang Ba nodded and said: "A few days ago, there was a spy report, and the land of Pengcheng in Xuzhou was full of corpses and bones, I'm afraid it's true." ”

"Ah...... Husband, if you miss my sister, I'm afraid you ......"

Luo Zhi sobbed, and the crying Zang Ba was so confused that he had to be appeased for most of the day before he stabilized.

That night, news came back to Juxian that Yuan Shao had indeed been sending troops in the direction of Guandu recently, and he had a great motive to start a war in the near future.

"Isn't Yuan Shao attacking Gongsun Zan in Youzhou? Could it be..."

"Prepare your horse and go to see Lord Junhou."

Zang Ba immediately made a decision, and now under the general trend, in his opinion, ten Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao's opponent.

Even the title of Lu Bu became polite.

The moon stars are scarce, Lu Bu walks back and forth in the courtyard, he is anxious, he doesn't know if he can win the bet this time, if Zang Ba doesn't come after tonight, he can only implement another plan, but the success rate is less than half.

Until the second half of the night, there was no news, Lu Bu was sleepy, got up and went back to the house to sleep, Zang Ba could not succeed, the road in the future was even more difficult, he needed to recuperate.

"Junhou, Zang Ba is here!"

Just when Lu Bu's heart was cold and sleepy, Lu Zhong woke him up completely.

"Slow down, put on your shoes first."

Lu Zhong cared for the shoe, but he didn't know that Lu Bu didn't listen at all, and whispered to himself: These shoes can't be worn.

"Zang Ba is guilty, I hope the prince will be punished!"

Outside the house, Zang Ba couldn't kneel.

Lu Bu took three steps and two steps, helped Zang Ba up, and said, "Brother Zang Ba, hurry up, it's Ben Hou who is sorry for you." ”

"Junhou, these shoes are good! Where can't I wear it? ”

Lu Zhong ran over.

Only then did Zang Ba notice that Lu Bu was barefoot, and now it was freezing cold, how cold it was barefoot.

Lu Bu said angrily: "As long as you talk a lot, don't you go to the house to light a fire, don't you see General Zang Ba getting cold outside." ”

According to the script, these little tricks, Lu Bu wants to trick others, and he is very handy, but this time it is Cao Cao's wild way.

Zang Ba was extremely moved in his heart, and he was a confidant, even if Lu Bu was a broken prince now, but it was also rewarded by the imperial court, and his name was justified, how could he be compared to him.

The fire in the house was flourishing, and Lu Bu said meaningfully: "Cao Cao is about to come to a catastrophe!" ”

Zang Ba listened attentively at the guest seat.

"Yuan Shao's mercenaries are one million, in fact, there are no less than 700,000, sitting on the four states in the north, and he will go south to attack Xudu in the near future, and Cao Cao will be defeated in more than a month."

Lu Bu said slowly: "I intend to join forces with Yuan Shao to hunt Xudu, and then I will be defeated again and again, dragging his army in Xuzhou." ”

Zang Ba was amazed, he never thought that all this was a strategy.

"I didn't tell you beforehand, and I hope General Zang Ba won't be surprised!"

Zang Ba replied: "Thanks to the value of the prince, Zang Ba will never give up." ”

Lu Bu was waiting for this sentence, secretly admiring his ability to sell and boast, it seems that strategy is still better than brute force, this person still can't be too honest, especially in this era of closed news in ancient times, even if you run a carriage with your mouth, others can believe you half a point.

If you have the trust of Zang Ba, then you have to appease him, gold, silver and jewelry are too tacky, anyway, the ancients are good for fame and fortune.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu said: "Wei Xu and others have openly rebelled and have been executed by me, I have ordered Zhang Liao to be the governor of the left army to resist Cao Cao head-on, I intend you to be the governor of the right army, and I will take charge of the land of Xuzhou with me." ”

Zang Ba was overjoyed, and no matter how big an official this empty right army governor was, he thought it should be better than the current one, and hurriedly replied: "Xie Junhou, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Langya Kingdom are sent by Junhou." ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, not to mention 20,000, it was 5,000 soldiers, and at this time, a sudden blow from the back was enough to make Cao Cao restless.

Grain Road, in the past, Chen Gong made a statement to let Lu Bu attack Cao Cao's grain road, but unfortunately Lu Bu listened to the woman's words and missed the best opportunity, and now the opportunity is here again.

Nowadays, Cao Jun's grain and grass are scarce, whether there is supply in the surrounding areas, Cao Jun's grain and grass are all relieved from Xudu, and it takes ten days to come and go, even if it is only broken once, it is enough for Cao Jun to collapse.

Lu Bu said bluntly: "Without further ado, please General Zang Ba divide two thousand troops with me, and Benhou will go to get Cao Cao's grain." ”

Anyway, he doesn't have to be cheeky anymore, and Lu Bu doesn't care what Zang Ba thinks of him, thinking that two thousand people shouldn't be too much, right? Lu Bu thought in his heart.

"No! The last general is willing to join the prince and marquis in the crusade against Cao Cao. ”

Zang Ba said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice.

Zang Ba's performance amazed Lu Bu, is this really the halo of the protagonist? It was so easy to recruit a general, so wouldn't the world be able to get it.

But if you think about it, all this may have a lot to do with Zang Ba's background, his background is not high, and he was a thief, when Lu Bu was the assassin of Xuzhou, he surrendered again, if he is capricious, he is a villain, once this villain's reputation is confirmed, who will dare to use him in the future.

Lu Bu stopped: "Cao Jun is not afraid, at present, there are few soldiers in Xuzhou, and I also asked General Zang Ba to return to Langya to recruit troops and sell horses, so as to wait for the future." ”

What Zang Ba thinks, Lu Bu doesn't know, but he must show favor to Zang Ba and let him willingly lend him the soldiers and horses.

"At the end of the day, he will return to the city and raise troops, and send them to the prince before dawn."

Heroic and hearty, Lu Bu valued Zang Ba in his heart, and thought in his heart how to pull him into the water and tie him up.

Looking at Zang Ba's departing figure, Lu Bu's heart finally fell, and said to Lu Zhong: "After this matter, this Zang Ba must be wooed." ”

"The little one is written down."

Lu Zhong silently wrote it down.

Majestic and high-spirited, looking at the two thousand soldiers and horses, Lu Bu's heart was extremely comfortable.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zang Ba personally brought the soldiers and horses, including three hundred cavalry.

Now this cavalry is a baby bump, and Lu Bu has a stronger impression of Zang Ba.

Lu Bu stepped on the red rabbit horse and arched his hand to Zang Ba and said, "When Cao Jun is broken, you and I will talk about wine." ”

The army was marching out, and Zang Ba looked at Lu Bu's figure, unable to let go for a long time.

"Has the prince changed?"

The adjutant general replied from the side: "It's become unpredictable, if it weren't for his momentum, the last general would think that he was another person." ”

Zang Ba thought so, but he didn't know where it had changed, thinking about it, and finally suddenly found that Lu Bu's eyes had changed, he used to be empty-eyed and didn't put anyone in his eyes, but now it has become extremely profound, making it impossible to guess.

"It's been good, it's been good, and I hope it didn't disappoint us this time."

The deputy general naturally understood what Zang Ba said, if Lu Bu really lost, they would also perish, and Zang Ba was also gambling.

Cao Jun's camp was a different scene, Cao Cao had a head stroke again, and it was difficult to sit still.

"What is the wave today?"

Guo Jia hurriedly replied: "I have already attacked three times, and there are heavy casualties, so it is better for Mingjin to withdraw his troops." ”

Cao Cao sighed, and somehow, the morale of the soldiers guarding Xiapi suddenly rose, and more people joined the defense of the city, and there was a rhythm of swearing to die together, and several times he attacked the city tower and was killed and retreated, and there were 5,000 casualties in two days, and he really had a headache.

"Is there a good way to be filial piety?"

Guo Jia said without thinking: "The embankment is flooded!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes were dim, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can do it!" It means to be lonely. ”
