Zhang Qi thought down this line of thought again, and suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. The enemy outside the city fled in confusion. However, the internal response in the city has not yet occurred!

"Zhongrong!"

Insolence shouted. Shen Fu was a few steps away and hurriedly agreed:

"My lord! Please order! ”

"Send the order down, the whole army is on alert, and carefully search every corner of the dock fort to see if there is a secret passage connecting the outside of the city!"

Shen Fu promised loudly and turned around. Xie Xun thought for a moment, and then said:

"Could it be that the leaders of those enemy armies took the lead and entered the secret passage themselves? In this way, you can understand the movement of the enemy forces outside the city. Since the enemy chief is in the tunnel, the enemy outside the city is under the command of others. The successor commander was cowardly, so the enemy army was crushed at the touch of ......"

Zhang Yan listened, secretly glanced at Chen Deng, and saw that he nodded slightly, his expression was quite admirable, and he also recognized this inference in his heart. At the same time, the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened, and the vigilance in his heart was raised, ready to meet the ferocious blow that the bold enemy leader might burst out at any time.

However, time passed, and the expected attack never appeared.

An hour later, Le Jin and Yu Ban led the soldiers and escorted more than 200 captives into the dock fort one after another. Because it was at night, although the moon stars were scarce, it was conducive to night fighting, but the enemy still absconded a lot with the help of the moonlight.

And in the process of pursuit, the Tianping Army also really understood the ferocity of these enemies. Once many soldiers are chased by the Tianping Army and cannot escape, they often reflexively strike a blow and fight the trapped beasts. These warriors who are skilled in martial arts and have complete weapons and armor have caused a lot of trouble for Yu Ban and Le Jin.

If the leader of the enemy does not run away like this, but organizes his men and slowly retreats, he is at least six or seven percent sure that he can retreat with his whole body.

The search of the tunnels in the dock fort also yielded results. In the firewood room of the residence of the lord of the Dock Fort, a soldier discovered a hole in the ground. Around the cave, a lot of fresh dirt footprints were also found.

Zhang Mad personally led people to search the tunnel entrance, and according to the traces found, he made a simple deduction about the enemy's behavior.

The enemy, about ten people, did not make any action after coming out of the tunnel, but quickly retreated from the tunnel along the same path. It is probably the reason why it was discovered that the Tianping Army was heavily guarded, and the ambush soldiers outside the dock fort were also discovered.

-- Such an enemy, courageous and not reckless, does not seem to be a simple character!

But......

Zhang Qiang smiled coldly in his heart, and thought:

"No matter how strong this local tyrant and salt lord in the countryside is, if he provokes Lao Tzu, sooner or later he will be cleaned up by Lao Tzu......"

Just when he was secretly ruthless in his heart, he was suddenly rewarded by his subordinates.

The victorious Tianping Army, counting prisoners in the dock fort, unexpectedly found a big fish.

This big fish is the acting lord of Dock Fort.

When the Tianping Army conquered the Dock Fort, this person saw a bad opportunity and slipped away very quickly and was able to escape. However, later, Sun Guan led people to attack the castle, and although the acting castle owner was also very quick to see the opportunity, he was the first to start retreating. But because of bad luck, Le Jin, who was outflanked by the enemy by a detour, took the cavalry and ran into a square.

As a result, the castle master, who was the first to retreat, was tragic.

"Bring him up!"

With an order, two of his subordinates immediately escorted a person to the city.

Xie Xun and Chen Deng were also a little curious about this unlucky castle master, and couldn't help but glance at him.

I saw that this castle master, about forty or so, was of medium stature, not very burly, but had a big bulge on his belly.

Of course, it's not a six-pack abs or anything, but a belly of oily water. In this day and age, it is not easy to grow a belly with oil and water. The fault is not that the wealthy people do not have such ability.

Seeing that although the other party was bloated, there was no panic on his face, and he couldn't help but appreciate it a little and asked:

"Who are you?"

"I am Huaxian Zang Jie, the word uncle. Who's under the feet? ”

Zang Ring? This person's name seems to be a little familiar......

Seeing this bloated middle-aged man, Zhang Yan was not a vulgar and unliterate person, but he didn't want to be too rude. Seeing that there was blood on this Zang Jie's arm, he asked the guards to bandage him. At this time, Chen Deng on the side asked:

"The son of the foot, but Zang Ba Zang Xuangao?"

When Zang Jie heard this, he was not surprised, but said a little proudly:

"Has the dog's name reached your ears as well?"

Chen Deng smiled:

"Zang Xuan is only eighteen years old, but he dares to lead more than ten guests from the hands of more than 100 people under the command of Taishan Taishou, and rob the foot, and the prisoners are afraid to move when they see this. This was only last year, how could I not know? ”

Zhang was surprised by his heart.

-, misled by the captives!

-- Thinking that the captives were illiterate, they turned the word "Zang" into the character "Zhang." If he had known that the surname of this castle lord was "Zang", Lao Tzu would have thought of Zang Ba Zang Xuangao!

Zang Ba, the word Xuangao, nickname Nukou, Taishan Huaxian people.

This name is not very brilliant in the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the Three Kingdoms series of games. However, Zhang Qiang turned out to have read a book called "The Legend of the Slave" on the Internet.

Although he has completely forgotten the content of this book, he consulted some information out of interest back then, and he still knows a little about Zang Ba.

Not to mention anything else, this Zang Ba, in history, was a strong man who once competed with Lu Bu, who was known as the "flying general". Even if he was once subordinate to Lu Bu, he was similar to the identity of his ally Keqing, and his status was much higher than that of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others, who were generals.

When Lu Bu and Cao Cao, the "first person of the Three Kingdoms", fought in Xuzhou, with Cao Cao's strength, he also suffered a lot from the Taishan soldiers led by Zang Ba. So much so that whenever Cao Cao talked about "Mount Tai Qunkou", he really hated it.

Later, Lu Bu was defeated, and Cao Cao, in order to stabilize his eastern front, had to pinch his nose when dealing with Zang Ba, and demarcated the territory of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which were handed over to Zang Ba for jurisdiction. This kind of status, in Cao Cao's camp at that time, was unparalleled.

Of course, Zang Ba's return to Cao Cao is also quite large.

When Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's eldest son, the tens of thousands of troops of Qingzhou Mu Yuan Tan, were thousands of elite soldiers led by Zang Ba - Taishan soldiers, pinned down at the border of Qingzhou, unable to move, unable to realize the strategic concept of attacking Cao Cao's main force on both sides.

In this way, Yuan Shao had to personally lead the army and fight Cao Cao in Guandu. Thus was born the first strategic decisive battle of the Three Kingdoms period - the Battle of Guandu.

So, in front of Zang Ba, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao or something are all weak. People are real talents in all aspects, if they are not strong people such as Lu Bu and Cao Cao, they are strong people who cannot be tamed at all. And once tamed, Zang Ba can be loyal to people, guard one side, and let people have no worries from now on.

As a result, the thoughts in Zhang Qiang's heart turned sharply, and in an instant, he had already thought about three or four attitudes towards Zang Jie, and what the possible consequences were. In the end, Zhang Qiang showed a laughing look on his face, and happily stepped forward in person and gave Zang Jie, which surprised Chen Deng on the side:

"Hahaha...... It turned out to be the father of Nu Kou [Zang Ba's nickname]! I said, how can you be so kind? Good...... Brother Uncle Bei, it's really 'the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family'! ”

Zang Jie was inevitably taken aback. After he was captured, he had several possible consequences in mind. However, the hand of the arrogant came greatly beyond Zang Jie's expectations.

- Is it a relative? But you're not impressed at all, huh?

"This ...... Chief, do we know each other? ”

Zhang laughed wildly:

"Under the surname Zhang Mingmad, the word is unscrupulous. Although I don't know me, I know that I am the natural auxiliary stars of my 'Taiping Dao'! ”

ps: Character - Zang Ba.

Son of Zang Jie. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", another strongman who has been overlooked. Just think about it, in historical records, he can be qualified to be regarded as an ally by the rampant Lu Bu, and he also served Cao Cao's subordinates for more than ten years with a semi-independent attitude. How can such a character be called a hero, right?

Therefore, the author sets that Zang Ba's force will be quite strong. Otherwise, it is not enough to show how strong this strong man who has been in Qing and Xu Erzhou for more than ten years is.
