I have to say that Guo Jia is so smart that he can directly guess Pei Qing's core secret, but because this matter is really shocking, and even far beyond the thinking of normal people, Guo Jia is just an occasional jump in thinking, and he didn't really guess that Pei Qing would "turn stones into gold" and cultivate ordinary talents into top talents.

After a long period of deliberation, Cao Cao finally decided to take advantage of the victory and Yuan Shao to negotiate peacefully, and then turn around to deal with Pei Qing, so Cao Cao sent his strategist Mao Jue to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao to discuss the peace talks, and then secretly gathered troops, preparing to go south to Xuzhou, and go all out to fight against Pei Qing, Guo Jia is right, Cao Ren's current strength alone is not Pei Qing's opponent at all, he must act as soon as possible.

However, his movements were still slow, and when Yuan Shao finally negotiated peace, something happened in Xuzhou.

Just when Cao Ren was on full guard against Pei Qing in Peiguo, Pei Qing had a surprise army, he secretly appointed Xu Rong as Hongnong Taishou, and secretly transferred the original Hongnong Taishou to Liang Guo's state minister, which is not to say that Zang Ba is stronger than Xu Rong, the key is that Zang Ba himself is a native of Taishan County, and now Cao Cao's Taishan County guards several generals under the forbidden command have a deep friendship with Zang Ba in peacetime, so as long as they can successfully recruit those generals, they will be able to occupy Taishan County, and once they occupy Taishan County, The whole of Xuzhou was completely isolated, there was neither a rescue nor a supply of food and grass, and it was a matter of time before it was captured, so that Pei Qing would not only successfully occupy the entire Xuzhou, but even Yanzhou would infiltrate.

As soon as Zang Ba received the order, he knew what was going on, he was in love with Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Chang Xi, and once joined the Tun army, these four people were known as the Taishan Four Kou, first echoed Tao Qian and made Taishan County obey Tao Qian's orders in fact, and then Lu Bu came in and surrendered Lu Bu, Cao Cao came over and surrendered Cao Cao, although it looks like the grass on the wall fell with the wind, but Zang Ba believed that the relationship between them still exists, with their former friendship, It's still possible to recruit them.

So the first thing Zang Ba did after coming to Liang Guo was to secretly contact these four people after he disguised himself.

When Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Chang Xi heard the news of Zang Ba's arrival, they were also very excited, although Yu Ban was a fellow villager with them, but this person was serious, unsmiling, and a little despised for their behavior of betraying the old master and surrendering to the new master several times, and he was particularly strict with them, which made them a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

These meticulous works that had already been cultivated by Hu Zhao were inquired about clearly, and Pei Qing naturally told Zang Ba all this.

At this time, Zang Ba visited, which made them see new hope and greeted Zang Ba very warmly.

"After many years of absence, I can see my brothers in life and death again today, my heart is really happy, brothers, it's been a long time, I don't know if you are doing now?" After the greetings, Zang Ba's face was also extremely excited, and he asked these brothers of life and death.

I saw Sun Guan sigh and said slowly: "Don't hide it from my brother, we didn't pass so well, the ...... surnamed Yu"

Wu Dun saw that Sun Guan was still hesitating, and immediately said anxiously: "Now that Brother Xuangao is here, what can't you say?" Brother Sun, you have learned from your brother who is studying some mothers-in-law and mothers, and your temperament is not straightforward. ”

Sun Guan has a biological brother, this person's name is Sun Kang, of course, this Sun Kang is not the Sun Kang who studied in Yingxue in history, but the name is the same, but this Sun Kang has also read some books, and now he is a subordinate Shuzuo by Yu Ban's side, because he was also a bandit before, and he was not very valued.

Sun Guan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said: "Since this is the case, then I will say, in fact, there is nothing to hide, although this Yu Ban is also a person from Taishan County, but because he was reused by Cao Gong, he was appointed as Taishan Taishou, originally officials could not be officials in their hometowns, but Cao Gong specially appointed him as the Taishan County Guard in order to reflect the favor of the ban, and sent us generals from Taishan to assist him, but this Yu Ban thinks very highly of himself, and looks down on those of us who have repeatedly betrayed, We only need to make a small mistake, that is, we will be punished very severely, and the military pay and materials issued to us are always worse than those of other troops, so we are not doing well now, and Chang Si can meet the master, but it is not like my brother, who is so reused by Pei Gong. ”

When Zang Ba heard this, he hurriedly said humbly: "I'm just mixing a bowl of rice under the lord's command, but there is a little bit in the lord's place, as long as you are willing to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, the lord will always give you a chance, and as long as the meritorious service is made, you must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, no matter who will never discount it, the most important thing is that the reward on the lord's side is very generous, and the official is just that, after all, there are only so many in total, but the money is more generous than anywhere, of course, those who fill their own pockets, We really can't compare to those who make a fortune by risking meritorious service to receive rewards or deducting military salaries, but no official under the command of the lord has ever dared to do this, since everyone is fair, we are naturally afraid of everyone, but how can this Yu Ban not treat a few of you like this, right? Who hasn't made a mistake at all? Besides, even he himself turned out to be Bao Xin's general? Now that he has surrendered to Cao Gong, he is actually similar to you in essence, but it is only fifty steps and a hundred steps, how can it be so excessive? ”

"Hehe, who said it wasn't?" Wu Dun hurriedly interjected and said: "This Yu Ban is a crow falling on the back of a pig, just seeing others black, in fact, he is dark at night, but he advertises himself so perfectly, how high the quality is, but he sees us as traitors, who wants to be a traitor?" But if we don't do this, so many brothers who followed us into life and death will all die, and we can only choose to surrender for the sake of the overall situation. ”

Yin Li also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's right, we are not afraid of death, but we can't let so many brothers die together, so we can only choose to surrender helplessly......"

"I also believe that the brothers have a hard time, so today do not avoid danger, risk death to visit, the four brothers are heroes and heroes, but there are ambitions that are difficult to reach, not reused, I feel sorry for you, you also know that Cao Cao, although the name is Han Xiang, is actually a Han thief, the old thief stole authority, coerced the Son of Heaven, killed the imperial concubine, and made all kinds of heinous acts, my lord Pei Gong, Shun Tian should respond to the people, commanding the righteous army to crusade against the national thieves, along the way to the battle, the people are all pot pulp to welcome, and the two sides are obedient and self-defeating, As for the comparison of strengths, I guess I don't need to say it, right? Now I see that your brothers are so unwilling, and I am willing to introduce you to my lord's door, I wonder if you brothers are willing to give in? ”
