With the surrender of Zang Ba, the battle of Xuzhou has basically ended. After all, looking at the whole of Xuzhou, it is difficult to find an opponent who can confront Cao Jun. The following days can be described as leisure outside the pavilion, of course, this leisure is only for Zhao Fei.

Of course, what Zang Ba did did not disappoint Cao Cao and Zhao Fei, on the battlefield of the southern front, he strongly restrained Yuan Shu, who intended to take advantage of the fire to rob, and Yuan Shu was furious. After all, there are not many such opportunities. If you can't take advantage of the chaos to get Xuzhou, then you won't have a chance at all.

Cao Jun is already famous in the world for his toughness, and now he occupies a place where soldiers like Xuzhou must fight, and his strength will definitely rise rapidly in a short period of time. The growing strength of Cao's army was definitely not what Yuan Shu wanted to see, after all, he was the prince closest to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao wants to expand his territory, his first goal is definitely himself.

But even though Yuan Shu was so unwilling, Zang Ba and the soldiers under his command were like iron shields, firmly guarding the south gate of Xuzhou, so that Yuan Shu had no way.

As time passed, the importance of Xuzhou was conquered under the strong military strength of Cao's army. When all the counties of Xuzhou were included in Cao Jun's territory, Cao Cao showed a very relieved smile.

With Xuzhou completely pacified, Yuan Shu finally withdrew his troops. After all, Xuzhou has been completely occupied by the Cao army, and the Cao army is gradually coming in reinforcements. If you continue to fight, it will be difficult for you to develop. Can't even beat a Zang Ba, if Cao Jun comes, won't he be completely defeated.

Yuan Shu is not stupid, so how could he continue to do such a thankless thing, so when the reinforcements of the Cao army had not yet arrived, Yuan Shu led all the soldiers to leave in a gray car.

After this battle, Cao's army completely pacified Xuzhou, which made Cao's army suddenly rise in strength. The importance of Xuzhou All the princes know that from ancient times to the present, Xuzhou is a strategic place for soldiers to fight. Xuzhou has a dense population and abundant material resources, which can bring a very important boost to any prince.

The war is about population and resources, and Xuzhou's dense population indicates that there are enough soldiers. Of course, in addition, Xuzhou Danyang is also a place rich in elite soldiers, which also indicates its importance.

If the determination of the Three Kingdoms started from Jingzhou, then Cao Cao's steps to the north began to take Xuzhou. If half of the history of the Three Kingdoms revolves around the competition for Jingzhou, then we also have reason to believe that the other half of the history of the Three Kingdoms revolves around the competition for Xuzhou.

After pacifying Xuzhou, Cao Cao stayed to lead the overall situation and solve the current problems in Xuzhou. Zhao Fei led the tigers, leopards, wolves and other elite troops to take the lead and headed towards Xuchang.

In fact, this is Zhao Fei's own meaning, after all, he cares about his wife and children at home, so after pacifying Xuzhou, he wants to return to the court to reunite with his wife and children. Cao Cao was afraid that something would go wrong with Zhao Fei halfway, so he specially sent wolves and tigers and leopards to protect Zhao Fei.

However, although Zhao Fei was concerned about his wife and young family, he did not rush towards Xuchang. Instead, I went to Xiaopei.

On the way to Xiaopei, Zhao Fei has been thinking about a question, that is, whether this Liu Bei will stay or not.

Even though others don't know, Zhao Fei is clear. This Liu Bei will definitely be a cloud-like figure in the future. And in the future development, Liu Bei is Cao Cao's biggest enemy.

The future Shu Han Emperor Zhao Fei did not have the ability to kill him, but now Xiao Pei is too guarded, and Zhao Fei is too easy to kill him. The last time Lu Bu crusaded against Liu Bei, he fought hard, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded.

Although Liu Bei also recruited many soldiers during this time, the overall calculation was not enough for more than 5,000 people. You must know that there are only so many families in Xiaopei City, and with these families to feed five thousand soldiers, Liu Bei is definitely under great pressure.

But even so, Liu Bei is still actively expanding his army, but these are all done in secret, if it weren't for Zhao Fei planting a lot of scouts in Xiaopei, I'm afraid he wouldn't know. So it is obvious that this Liu Bei is ambitious, even though he is very honest in Xiaopei, but his mind has never stopped running.

With Liu Bei's great ambition, Zhao Fei wanted to kill him directly. But Liu Bei has a good reputation, especially among the people, he can be regarded as a figure who has won the hearts of the people. If he really killed him, the consequences would be very difficult to bear.

Obviously, Zhao Fei also thought about the dark. But this idea flashed in Zhao Fei's mind for a moment, and then he left it behind. After all, Liu Bei has two top bodyguards by his side, and his own strength is not bad, how could an ordinary assassin assassinate him.

Neither can it be bright or dark, which makes Zhao Fei really have a headache. But Zhao Fei also knew that Liu Bei's matter could not be delayed. Liu Bei, the old boy, is very shrewd, and he can perceive it in advance at the slightest disturbance, so it is often at the most critical time that Liu Bei has already slipped away.

So if he didn't hurry up, Liu Bei would definitely disappear easily.

In Zhao Fei's thoughts, Zhao Fei led the army and finally slowly came to Xiaopei City.

At the east gate of Xiaopei City, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lined up in front of the city gate early to greet Zhao Fei.

In this regard, Zhao Fei did not have the slightest surprise. After all, his identity is different, and he is a lieutenant at this time. Even if he didn't want to put on any pomp, his identity was already the biggest pomp, so no matter where he appeared, the Taishou there would go out of the city to greet him. Even though the Han Dynasty has fallen to the end of imperial power and the royal prestige has been lost, none of them dare to touch the bottom line and do things that are contrary to ordinary morality. Of course, Yuan Shu's fool is an exception.

Zhao Fei rode his horse to the city gate, and Liu Bei led Xiao Pei's officials to bow down one after another: "The last general will see Lord Taiwei." ”

Seeing Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei kneeling in front of him one after another, Zhao Fei was indeed very satisfied in his heart. Although this matter will not come once, every time it encounters it, Zhao Fei will be happy in his heart for a while. After all, whether it is Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, they are all the top people in the Three Kingdoms. And he is nothing.

However, that thought was just a passing scene in Zhao Fei's mind, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helped Liu Bei up and said: "Xuande, you and I have known each other for a long time, why do you need to make such a big gift, if you take me Zhao Fei as a friend, then get up quickly!" ”

And Liu Bei was very frightened, and hurriedly said: "Etiquette is immutable, the lord is the captain of the court, and I am just a little Pei Taishou." As he spoke, Liu Bei suddenly showed an expression that was about to cry.

"Xuande is a descendant of the Han family, and his status is noble, how can I compare." Seeing this, Zhao Fei hurriedly praised.

"Alas~~" Liu Bei sighed, and then said: "What kind of Han descendant, it's just a name." And it's just my own admission. The world is so big, there are so many descendants of the Han family, is there still one less one who is not right? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fei hurriedly kept an eye in his heart. He knew that he couldn't continue to follow Liu Bei's words at this time, if he was not careful, he would fall into Liu Bei's trap.

Liu Bei's words are not false at all, he, a descendant of the Han family, is just a matter of saying it to him, but no one admits it. Because Liu Bei has no evidence at hand to prove that he is a genuine descendant of the Han family.

A descendant of the Han family who only has no name at all, he can only deceive the poor people, and his name as a descendant of the Han family has no deterrent effect on the princes. Because they think that he is a descendant of the Han family, he is, but if they think that he is not a descendant of the Han family, then he is not.

"Don't mention these sad words, I've been tired for so long, and I finally feel that Xiaopeicheng, does Xuande let me spend the night at the city gate?" Zhao Fei hurriedly changed the topic and said.

Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly spoke: "What did Lord Taiwei say, the post house for adults to rest has been prepared early next morning, and my lord will come with me." With that, Liu Bei took Zhao Fei and walked towards Xiaopei City.

After only a few steps, Zhao Fei's eyes were attracted by a man beside Liu Bei. This man is very faceless, Zhao Fei said that he has never seen or heard of such a person by Liu Bei's side.

Seeing that this person was following Liu Bei, it was obvious that this person was one of Liu Bei's guards. But if it was just that, Zhao Fei would not be attracted to him. What really attracted Zhao Fei was that this person gave Zhao Fei the feeling that he wanted to be alone, and that was his brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

"This general is magnificent, a talent, and I don't know the name of Gao?" Zhao Fei suddenly said to the man.

The man was stunned by Zhao Fei's words, and then hurriedly said in a panic: "My lord has tormented the last general, and the last general is the chief guard of the Taishou Mansion Chen Zhizi Shuzhi." ”

"It turned out to be him." Zhao Fei was secretly shocked in his heart.

Chen had heard of the daimyo himself, and of course he had heard it in later generations. Chen Zhi can be said to be a military general buried by history, especially the well-known "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he did not mention a word. But Chen Deng is a well-known figure.

He was known for his loyalty and courage under Liu Bei, he was the second best general after Zhao Yun under Liu Bei's account, and he was also Liu Bei's henchman. Because Liu Bei's personal soldiers, the big-eared elite soldiers, were led by Chen Zhi.

can't help but be superior in martial arts this time Zhao Yun, and he has won Liu Bei's trust, how can such a person be despised. It can be said that such talents are the most difficult to deal with.

For Liu Bei, Chen Zhi was willing to hide his strength. If it weren't for Zhao Fei's more questions today, I don't know how long such a person would have been hidden in the snow.

This is definitely a fatal problem, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can not be defeated. I inadvertently missed such an important person, if war really broke out in the future, because of this small negligence, I would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

And in addition to Chen Dao, Zhao Fei also needs to be careful, that is, Liu Bei's personal soldiers, the big-eared elite soldiers. This is Liu Bei's most elite combat power, and their combat effectiveness will definitely not be worse than that of the wolves. After all, these people are Liu Bei's old bottom.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fei's murderous intent towards Liu Bei became stronger and stronger, and it was obvious that Liu Bei was hiding a lot of things. These things can't be found by scouts alone.
