The sky was slightly bright, the city gate of Xiapi slowly opened, but the shouts in Liang's mansion shook the sky, and a guard saw that Liang Gang did not appear for a long time, but after entering Liang Gang's room, he saw Liang Gang and two maids lying in a pool of blood.

And the army in Xiapi City also inexplicably left more than 2,000 people.

In a dense forest not far from Xiapi City, there were thousands of cavalry hidden, all of whom were under the banner of Zangba's army.

"Do it!" Zang Ba shouted, he didn't expect Wang Yue to have such ability, he really assassinated Liang Gang in Xiapi City, and mobilized Xiapi's army, so that it would be easier to capture Xiapi.

When Zang Ba led a thousand cavalry to kill violently, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not have time to close the city gate, and the cavalry swarmed in.

After Zang Ba entered the city, he quickly controlled the city gate of Xiapi, and seized the Taishou Mansion, and the family in the city saw that it was Zang Ba who led the cavalry to come, and was surprised at the same time and could only express allegiance, for the deeds of Zang Ba, the family in the city had heard of it, after all, Zang Ba led the troops to repel the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, and seized Donghai County, which was also a figure in Xuzhou.

Of course, the reason why the family is so honest is because they are afraid of Zang Ba, if they anger Zang Ba at this time, they will have a knife in their hands, and there will be no place to redress their grievances.

After easily seizing Xiapi, Zang Ba immediately put up a list to calm the people, and the people in the city saw that the army under Zang Ba's command did not commit any offense to the people, and gradually resumed their previous lives.

Twenty miles from Liangcheng was a very dangerous valley, through which only three people were allowed to pass together.

The generals who led the troops to Liangcheng did not think too much about it, after all, this was in the territory of Xiapi, and this road they had passed through in the past, and it only took half an hour to pass.

After the army had completely entered the valley, a dense pile of boulders suddenly fell at the entrance, causing chaos in the rear, and thousands of cavalry appeared in front of the army.

There was no way to retreat, the front was the enemy's cavalry, and the leading generals directly chose to surrender.

After getting the city of Xiapi and absorbing the army in the city, Chen Gong selected some people from it and went to Liangcheng, the guards of Liangcheng saw that they were their own soldiers and horses, and there was no problem with the wording, open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, at this time, the army that entered the city gate showed a hideous face, but for a moment, the defenders at the city gate were killed, and then most of the soldiers and horses swarmed in.

Using the same method, Zang Ba captured Xiapi at a very fast speed, and when the news of Pi's capture for Zang Ba reached Pengcheng, Chen Deng was still a little incredulous.

Chen Deng wanted to take Xiapi from Huaxiong's hands more than once, but Huaxiong also left thousands of soldiers and horses when he went out to fight and annex the state, Liang Gang was a cautious person, and did not leave Chen Deng with an opportunity to take advantage of, what puzzled him the most was why Zang Ba was able to silently seize Xiapi.

At this time, Chen Deng had to pay attention to the power represented by Zang Ba.

In the past, Chen Deng just thought that Zang Ba was a big threat, and did not regard Zang Ba as a real opponent, but now he wants to re-examine Zang Ba, how terrible it is for a military general to be able to seize the land of the three counties, if such a character is allowed to develop, he may become the next Lu Bu in the future.

Liang Gang was assassinated in the mansion, which made Chen Deng more vigilant, and the number of people he secretly protected increased to three times.

Xuzhou has Peng Chengguo, Xiapi, Langxie, Donghai, Guangling, at this time in the hands of Zang Ba have Xiapi, Langxie and Donghai, this strength is definitely a huge threat to Xuzhou.

After reading the letter sent by Zang Ba's order, Chen Deng sneered: "Just Zang Ba, with some soldiers and horses in his hands, he dares to think of going against Cao Gong. ”

For Zang Ba's rhetoric, Chen Deng directly refused, the reason why he took refuge in Cao Cao, is to take a fancy to Cao Cao's huge potential, as long as he can do things hard under Cao Cao's rule, the Chen family has the opportunity to soar, especially after learning about Cao Cao's plans, Chen Deng is full of confidence in Cao Cao, and Zang Ba is just a captain, with some soldiers and horses in his hands, he wants to occupy Xuzhou and Cao to operate right, in his opinion, it is completely a fool's dream.

Zang Ba is a restless person, from Zang Ba's actions over the years, you can see one or two, Chen Deng has to admit that Zang Ba is a powerful figure, Zang Ba only had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he was able to defeat the Xuzhou army and seize Donghai County.

When Zang Ba learned of Chen Deng's actions, he was furious.

Chen Gong persuaded: "General, the reason why Chen Deng rejected the general's intention is that Chen Deng believes that the general is a little weaker than Cao Cao, which is understandable, if he can fight with the Xuzhou army with real swords and guns, and defeat the Xuzhou army head-on, the general's prestige in Xuzhou is unparalleled." ”

Although Chen Gong's original plan was to occupy Xiapi and then occupy the entire territory of Xuzhou, he understood how difficult it would be if such a strategy was thoroughly implemented, and Zang Ba's success in seizing Xiapi was beyond his imagination, and the most important reason was Wang Yue, a crucial figure.

If Liang Gang is not dead, even if Zang Ba has an absolute advantage against Liang Gang, Liang Gang will be able to ask Chen Deng for help, and Chen Deng will inevitably send troops to help, so it will become impossible to capture Xiapi.

Lu Bu's intentions, Chen Gong can guess one or two, let Xuzhou fall into the war, it can involve Cao Cao's energy, as for whether Xuzhou can be captured, it depends on Zang Ba's strength and luck, this is also understandable, after all, Lu Bu is standing on the overall situation of the state, even if Zang Ba is defeated in the future, he can go to the state.

And once Zang Ba's action in Xuzhou fails, the ensuing consequences are not something that the current Zang Ba can bear, and it is possible that years of hard work will be completely wiped out, but if Zang Ba is determined to take refuge in Lu Bu, everything is worth it.

In Chen Gong's view, the most powerful enemy among the princes is Cao Cao, Cao Cao with Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou in his hands, and his fierce generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, after Cao Cao returns to the army, I am afraid that the first thing to deal with is Xuzhou.

Under the persuasion of Chen Gong, Zang Ba did not rush to lead his troops to attack Pengcheng, but after Xiapi fought steadily and steadily, preparing to stabilize Xiapi's operation, he would plot against Pengcheng again.
