"The general is not good, just now there is news from the scouts outside the city, saying that Cao Cao personally led the army to arrive not far outside the city." A soldier hurriedly ran to Zang Ba's side and said in an impatient tone. Cao Jun came to help, it seems that this city can't be defended. The soldier was a little confused about his future prospects.

Hearing this news, Zang Ba was extremely happy. I was fortunate to have suffered for so long a day, and I was acting for Cao Cao to see. Now that Cao Cao is finally here, his play can finally come to an end.

In this way, I can finally stop worrying. But before that, I still need to play the final curtain play well. Only in this way can it not be regarded as anticlimactic. Since you want to act, you can act well over there, whether it is the beginning or the end.

However, Ling Zang Ba felt uncomfortable that after the arrival of Cao Jun's reinforcements, he did not launch the attack he expected. For half a month, Cao Jun didn't make any big moves, except for training every day, and spent the rest of the time in the barracks.

I thought that a war would end soon. Cao Jun arrived and attacked Kaiyang City in a big way, and when the time came, he was surrendering with the situation, which was a happy thing.

But Zang Ba thinks so, and Du Chen actually thinks so. You must know that under the premise of a strong advantage, Du Chen likes to use psychological warfare the most. Psychologically put pressure on the enemy, so not attacking in advance is Du Chen's consistent practice.

In Du Chen's view, Zang Ba should be a person who knows the times and is a handsome person. Therefore, under the strong pressure of Cao Jun, Zang Ba will definitely choose to surrender. But who would have thought that Zang Ba would refuse to surrender.

In this way, because of their respective views, the war was dragged on for so long, which also made Du Chen very helpless. Because Du Chen swore that day that Zang Ba would raise the city and surrender. But half a month has passed. Zang Ba has been holding on to the city.

Du Chen shook his head helplessly, it seems that Zang Ba is determined to defend Kaiyang, so he can only attack strongly. As far as Du Chen is concerned, he hates strong attacks, after all, strong attacks will really lose soldiers.

Just when Du Chen was thinking like this, Zang Ba also figured it out. It's not a good idea to drag it out like this. After all, there are not many defenders in Kaiyang City now. If Cao's army is resolute, then the battle can eliminate its own soldiers in the city.

The next day, Cao's army set out as a whole army, and Du Chen Cao Cao also went into battle in person, which means that the victory and defeat of the battle were decided and Kaiyang City was taken. However, when Cao Jun was led to Kaiyang City nearby, the situation that occurred made Du Chen very confused.

At this time, the gates of Kaiyang City were wide open, and there were no guards in the city at all. On the city wall, white flags were also hung. At a glance, it was clear that Zang Ba wanted to surrender. For this, Du Chen was very puzzled, why he didn't surrender sooner or later, and had to surrender now.

If this is Zang Ba's trick, Du Chen also has reason to believe it. After all, if Zang Ba really wanted to surrender, he would also send an envoy to inform him in advance. But under the premise that there was no sign at all, Du Chen was not sure in his heart.

Sit on horseback. Du Chen looked at Kaiyang City suspiciously. He was struggling in his heart, whether to enter or not. Go in. I'm afraid that this is a trap set by Zang Ba, and if he doesn't enter, if it is spread out, Cao Jun will be ridiculed. Du Chen looked at Cao Cao, and then asked in a low voice, "Meng De, are we going to enter or not?" ”

Hearing Du Chen's words, Cao Cao was also in a dilemma. Because he couldn't figure it out. What exactly is Zang Ba going to do? Staring at the open gate of Kaiyang City, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Enter, why don't you enter, if you don't enter, you will soon lose the prestige of our army." I'd like to see. What exactly does Zang Ba want to do? After speaking, Cao Cao rode his horse forward.

Seeing this, Du Chen was not ambiguous, he had a fierce general like Dian Wei Xu Chu by his side, and an elite body like the Golden Viper Army, even if Zang Ba was secretly ambushed, what could he fear.

Finally came to Kaiyang City, Cao Cao and Du Chen found that a big man was standing there with a smile on his face. Behind the Han were a group of generals, but none of them wore weapons, they were all dressed in plain clothes.

"I've heard Prime Minister Cao's name for a long time, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today." The big man came to Cao Cao, knelt down and said.

"Get up and speak." Cao Cao waved his hand. After the big man got up, Cao Cao asked, "You must be Zang Ba, right?" ”

"If you go back to the prime minister, the last general is Zang Ba." Zang Ba bowed and said.

Du Chen stared at Zang Ba for a long time, and then said, "Zang Ba, I have a question I want to ask you." ”

Zang Ba raised his head and looked at Du Chen, and then asked: "Taiwei has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Zang Ba must know everything and say everything." ”

"You have been fighting against our army for so long, why did you choose to surrender at this time?" Du Chen said with a slightly playful expression.

Zang Ba seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, so he said without thinking about it: "Although Zang Ba is only a martial artist, he also knows how to obey the destiny of heaven. In fact, as early as the prime minister conquered Xuzhou City, Zang Ba had plans to surrender, but you also know Lord Taiwei. Zang Ba is already used to being free in Kaiyang, and suddenly a lord comes out, Zang Ba will be somewhat unaccustomed to it. As he spoke, Zang Ba scratched the back of his head.

"Hehe, as long as you are a talent, the prime minister will not be stingy. But I still have a question, since you have already resisted our army, and you are still looking forward to the arrival of the prime minister, why don't you surrender directly? Du Chen asked one after another. Obviously, he was obsessed with it.

But it's no wonder that Du Chen is like this, after all, he has been smooth sailing for so long, and most of the things he deduced will not be wrong.

"My lord, the last general also needs a step down." Zang Ba said with a bitter face: "If you come, I will surrender without the slightest resistance, and I am afraid that this reputation will not be good." ”

Du Chen also smiled bitterly when he heard this, his own pressure was enough, but he didn't think of the hearts of others.

"The little Kaiyang City, if it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Si Lang is right, as long as you are talented, I will not treat you badly." Cao Cao laughed loudly. Obviously, he was still very happy, after all, this Zang Ba was indeed a talent.

He still understands his own soldiers, and he can block the offensive of his soldiers for so long, it is obvious that this Zang Ba has a certain strength. In addition, Cao Cao also admired Zang Ba very much. Outspoken, daring to act, such people are rare.

"The prime minister praises falsely, in the eyes of the last general, the prime minister is the real hero. Zang Ba can get an official position under the command of the prime minister, which is obviously Zang Ba's blessing. Zang Ba bowed down and said, obviously, he also agreed with Cao Cao abnormally.

Originally, Zang Ba also wanted to surrender directly, but after he found out about Cao Jun's movements, he temporarily changed his mind and prepared to test Cao Cao's difference from what was rumored.

Therefore, Zang Ba specially ordered someone to remove the soldiers on the city wall, and then opened the city wall of Kaiyang City, he just wanted to see if Cao Cao had the courage to walk in. If he really dared to come, then Zang Ba decided to follow Cao Cao.

Cao Cao really didn't let himself down, just paused outside the city for a moment, and then swaggered into Kaiyang City. Cao Cao's mind and courage made Zang Ba admire, which also intensified his heart to join Cao. 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 Du Chen.

Of course, what Zang Ba did did not disappoint Cao Cao and Du Chen, on the battlefield of the southern front, he strongly contained Yuan Shu, who intended to take advantage of the fire to rob, which made Yuan Shu angry. 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. (To be continued......)
