"Oh? No matter what Tao Qian said, he contributed his own strength when quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it stands to reason that he should not be stupid enough to do such a thing that harms the people! If he really did this, then there must be some kind of purpose that made him have to do it, for this purpose, I have some curiosity, I wonder if General Zang Ba is willing to solve a puzzle for me? After hearing this, Lu Rui suddenly became interested and asked Zang Ba.

"This issue is confidential, unless General Lu is willing to agree to take me in, otherwise I will be charged with disloyalty and injustice, Zang Ba is not willing to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person even if he dies, if General Lu does not agree to take me in, then even if he dies, I will never say a word to General Lu." Zang Ba looked at Lu Rui and said to Lu Rui.

"Oh? It seems that you are here to negotiate terms with me, so I'll listen to what your conditions are, I don't think it's as simple as letting me take you in! Come, tell me your terms, and I may be glad that I will come to this agreement with you. Lu Rui said with interest to Zang Ba.

"Hehe, General Lu is really a happy person, so in this case, I won't talk nonsense, I have three requirements, first, that is, I want to join General Lu's command, and it must be a position that can be under you alone." When Zang Ba heard this, he told Lu Rui his first condition.

"Oh? I'd love to know how General Zang Ba was able to get to this position, but you have to give me an explanation, or I don't know how to convince my brothers. Lu Rui suddenly became interested when he heard this, he wanted to know why Zang Ba would say such a thing, in terms of Zang Ba's strength, joining his command was a bottom-of-the-line existence, why could he sit on top of those who were thousands of times more capable than him.

"Don't worry about this General Lu, the next thing I want to say is something that can help you take Pengcheng, you should know that Pengcheng can be said to be the core of the entire Xuzhou, if Xuzhou is in his hands, for General Lu it is equivalent to mastering half of Xuzhou, I know that General Lu has sent someone to occupy Xuzhou not long ago except for Pengcheng, and now if Pengcheng can be taken, this Xuzhou is General Lu's bag." Zang Ba didn't explain too much when he heard this, but just said to Lu Rui.

"Well, if that's the case, you have some point, well! If what you say can be done, then I promise you, with such merits, to be above this position, it is indeed worthy of the name, well, I will promise you the first condition, then what is your second condition? Lu Rui didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this, but he readily agreed to Zang Ba's request, so Lu Rui said to Zang Ba.

"My second condition is also very simple, that is, there is something I want in this Pengcheng, after conquering Pengcheng, I hope that General Lu can give me that thing, of course, General Lu, please rest assured, it is definitely not about the ownership of Xuzhou and gold, silver and jewelry and the like." Zang Ba nodded and continued to say to Lu Rui.

"Okay, I'll promise you that." Lu Rui didn't even bother to ask what it was, anyway, the status had already been promised to him before, so how could he care about the gain or loss of an item.

"General Lu is really refreshing, then in that case, I will tell you my third condition, my third condition is that I want General Lu to swear that you and your subordinates will not come to me for trouble for anything in the future." Zang Ba said to Lu Rui.

After hearing this condition, Lu Rui did not immediately agree, because this promise is not very fun, once agreed, it will be a tight spell for himself, and Lu Rui does not want to be bound by the tight spell like Sun Wukong.

"This condition of yours is too harsh, change it." Lu Rui calmed down, and his tone was no longer what it was before, and he said directly to Zang Ba.

"No, my conditions are these three, all of them are indispensable, if General Lu can't promise me, then I'm willing to die, once I'm dead, then General Lu can't know what Tao Qian wants to do." Zang Ba completely looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and insisted on the three conditions he had put forward before, and said to Lu Rui.

Lu Rui is now thinking about resisting the urge to kill, and after thinking carefully for a while, Lu Rui has already thought of a way, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and then said to Zang Ba: "Okay, I promise you all three conditions, you can tell me everything you know now!" ”

"No, General Lu said that there is no evidence, and he must make a note and hand it over to me for safekeeping." Zang Ba obviously didn't believe Lu Rui very much, and said to Lu Rui.

"Okay, you can wait a minute." Since Lu Rui had already agreed, naturally there would be no way to deal with it, so after saying a word, he took out his pen and ink, wrote down what Zang Ba wanted, and handed the note to Zang Ba.

"Okay, since General Lu is so refreshing, then I, Zang Ba, am not a person who is untrustworthy, then I will tell General Lu what Tao Qian is going to do, because ......" After getting the note, Zang Ba had a bottom in his heart, and told Lu Rui why Tao Qian did what he did, and told Lu Rui that tomorrow morning, Tao Qian will lead his death squad out of the city to fight to the death with Lu Rui's army, and this battle is completely a situation where you die or I die.

After Lu Rui heard Zang Ba's information, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer, although he had been avoiding frontal conflict in the past few days, it was impossible for Lu Rui's army to do nothing and wait here, so everyone would harass Peng Cheng several times, and this time consumed part of Tao Qian's strength, besides, even when Tao Qian was in his heyday, Lu Rui was never afraid of fighting him, so Lu Rui was very disdainful of Tao Qian's thoughts.

Of course, disdain is disdainful, since there is a chance to win the final victory at a smaller cost, then Lu Rui will naturally choose this more cost-effective way of fighting, so he walked out of the camp and gathered everyone, and at the same time, sent a few soldiers to inform others to prepare for battle, tonight, Peng Cheng must be taken down, because everyone in Peng Cheng knows that tomorrow will be a life-and-death fight, so if nothing else, he must adjust his mood well tonightIn this case, now is the time when the soldiers in Pengcheng are the most lazy, and this time is the best time to attack.

After everyone was gathered by Lu Rui, he told everyone everything that Zang Ba had explained, and after Liu Bowen heard it, he couldn't help frowning, he was not very relieved about Zang Ba's person, Liu Bowen, so he asked Lu Rui: "Virtuous nephew, is this news reliable?" Can that Zang Ba be trusted, or is this another trick of Tao Qian. ”

"I can't guarantee to be honest this time, but I think we are worth a try, now the combat effectiveness of our army is far better than Tao Qian, even if he Tao Qian no matter how he uses means, the absolute disparity in strength is here, he will definitely not be our opponent, in this case, we can gamble once, win, then we can take Xuzhou at a smaller price, if we lose, then it is to pay more sacrifices, but the importance of Xuzhou must be known uncle, If this matter is true, Tao Qian will inevitably give us a heavy blow before he dies, in that case, it will be even more difficult for us to keep Xuzhou, after all, the people who are staring at Xuzhou are not only us, the worst is such a result, since there is a possibility of a better result, so why can't we gamble once? Lu Rui said to Liu Bowen.
