Cao Ang looked at Zang Ba, waved his hand lightly, and continued: "Of course, if you want to continue to fight, then come to serve under my account, if you don't want to fight, then go to Donghai County to be an idle official, the choice is yours." ”

After Zang Ba and the others heard Cao Ang's words, they fell silent.

Seeing this, Cao Ang was not in a hurry, but said lightly: "Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it, you can choose a place to camp in this area, and when you think about it clearly, come to me." ”

"At that time, I will play Your Majesty, give you a letter of appointment from the imperial court, and then you can go to office, or if you are willing to come and serve under my account, I also welcome it!"

Hearing this, Zang Ba and the others left together.

After the leaders of these Taishan bandits left, Lu Bu snorted angrily and coldly: "That guy Changxuan, it's best not to accept the proposal of the young general, in that case, I will have a reason to do something to him!" ”

Cao Ang smiled faintly when he heard this, and didn't say anything, but he felt that Chang Xuan, the anti-bone boy, would definitely not be willing to hand over the military power, and would agree to be transferred to the East China Sea.

Just now, Cao Ang said his intention so obviously, just to provoke Chang Xuan, the second and fifth boy.

On the other hand, the situation in the camp of the Taishan army was not as Cao Ang expected.

After Zang Ba and his group of five returned to their camp, they began to discuss.

The most dissatisfied Chang Feng was the first to speak: "I said before, I don't want to have anything to do with Cao Ang, you just don't listen, now it's okay, people ask you to hand over the military power, do you pay it or not?" ”

Zang Ba didn't speak when he heard this, he just lowered his head and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

And after Sun Guan heard Chang Xuan's words, he sneered and said, "What, do you think that if we don't come today, Cao Ang won't do anything to us?" ”

"Obviously, his purpose is the whole of Xuzhou, and after Xuzhou falls into the hands of Cao Ang, then our territory will be under Cao Ang's control."

"At that time, we were a thorn in Cao Ang's eyes, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, all under Cao Ang's control, and we had nowhere to run!"

Chang Xuan pursed his lips disapprovingly and said, "Then fight with him, we have 300,000 people under our command, are we still afraid of him Cao Ang?" ”

"Didn't you see the well-groomed Cao Jun today? As far as those rabble under our command are concerned, how can they compare with Cao Jun? Sun Guan frowned and responded.

Chang Feng was about to speak, but was stopped by Zang Ba.

I saw Zang Ba waving his hand and said: "Okay, don't quarrel, what's so noisy, I decided, join the account of the major general and serve him, what about you?" ”

When Sun Guan heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand at Zang Ba and said, "I am willing to follow General Zang Ba." ”

Seeing this, Wu Dun and Yin Li also arched their hands at Zang Ba, expressing their willingness to follow Zang Ba.

As a result, only Chang Feng was left without expressing his position.

So the four of them looked at Chang Feng together.

And after Chang Xuan felt the gaze of the three people, he snorted coldly and said, "Since this is the case, then listen to you!" ”

After several people discussed the results, they dispersed, preparing to go to Cao Ang the next day.

However, after Changfeng went back, he hurriedly gathered his subordinates, left Lanling overnight, and returned to Mount Tai.

Early the next morning, Zang Ba learned the news that Chang Feng ran away with his subordinates, which made Zang Ba shocked.

"What, you said that this guy Changfeng ran away with his subordinates?" Zang Ba looked at his subordinates who had come to report the news, and his face was full of surprise.

Not long after, Sun Guan and several people also walked in with horror on their faces.

"General Zang Ba, that guy from Chang Feng ran away, and if he did this, wouldn't he put us to death!"

"So what do we do now?"

Sun Guan and the others had no master for a while.

When Zang Ba heard this, he immediately said: "Don't care about so much, let's go to the young general, show him his intentions, and tell him all the truth." ”

Everyone agreed with Zang Ba's words, so the group hurriedly went to find Cao Ang and told Cao Ang everything about Chang Xuan's escape.

Cao Ang had already been mentally prepared for the fact that Chang Feng would run away, so he was not too surprised.

It was Lu Bu, after a short period of stunned, that he burst out laughing: "This kid is really looking for death!" ”

Then, Lu Bu looked at Cao Ang and said, "Young General, please allocate me 3,000 men and horses, and I will kill this guy Changfeng for you!" ”

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this, nodded lightly and said, "Then there is Lao Wenhou." ”

Several other generals, seeing that Cao Ang had handed over the task of crusading against Chang Feng to Lu Bu, all of them wanted to speak.

Guo Jia, who was on the side, saw the thoughts of several generals, so he took the lead and said: "It is appropriate to hand over this matter to Wen Hou." ”

When several generals heard this, they did not speak.

Then, Cao Ang continued: "General Zang Ba, I still need to bother the four of you, follow Wen Hou back to the Taishan area, gather all your old troops, and bring them here, I want that Chang Xuan, isolated!" ”

"Yes!" Zang Ba and several people responded in unison.

In the end, Cao Ang allocated 5,000 men and horses to Lu Bu, and then asked Zhang Liao to be his deputy general, and took Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li to the area of Mount Tai to exterminate Chang Xuan.

After Lu Bu led the people to set off, Huang Zhong asked Cao Ang: "Young General, why did you hand over the matter of exterminating Chang Fan to Lu Bu's house?" ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "We naturally have more important tasks, such as attacking Pengcheng!" ”

Guo Jia smiled on the side, and when Cao Ang agreed to let Lu Bu go to exterminate Chang Xuan, he guessed that Cao Ang was planning to do something to Tao Qian.

At this time, Tao Qian, who was far away in Pengcheng, thought that he had united Liu Bei and Zang Ba, which was enough to compete with Cao Ang.

As a result, when Cao Ang's army was advancing, Tao Qian found that Liu Bei had been lying in Langya and was unwilling to send troops.

As for Zang Ba, he has already taken refuge in Cao Ang.

Tao Qian, who learned of these circumstances, realized that he was afraid that he would not be able to win this battle.

So Tao Qian found Chen Deng privately and instructed: "Yuanlong, that Liu Xuande and Zang Ba are both treacherous, this battle, Xuzhou is afraid that it will not be able to hold it!" ”

When Chen Deng heard this, his face was not very good, after all, he was the advisor that Tao Qian relied on, and now that Xuzhou has become like this, he is also responsible.

It's just that now, there is no way back. (End of chapter)
