Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 427 Conquering Zang Ba
After Zang Ba fell into the pit, the thousand cavalry quickly followed in Zang Ba's footsteps.

Pieces of caltrops and pits became an unforgettable nightmare for the thousand cavalrymen.

Afterwards, thousands of Cao Jun crossbowmen appeared around.

After the Taishan bandit cavalry got Zang Ba out of the pit, Zang Ba smiled miserably: "Forget it, Zang Ba is watching the sky from a well."

At this time, Cao Cao appeared in Zang Ba's field of vision wearing a robe.

"General Zang, I never thought you and I would meet in this way! I am Cao Cao whom you want to capture alive!" Cao Cao laughed.

"Cao has heard of General Zang's reputation for a long time, but he never got to meet him." Cao Cao cupped his hands towards Zang Ba.

"Zang is just a defeated general, so you don't have to be like that!" Zang Ba said with a wry smile.

"If Zang's guess is correct, the Cao Mansion Lord sent someone to set the fire off?" Zang Ba asked.

"Yes, exactly!"

"Then dare to ask the Lord, but Zang leaked the news, and the Lord knew that I would come to rob the camp before Zang robbed the camp?" Zang Ba asked resolutely, even if he died, he had to be a fool!
"That's not the case. Cao didn't get any information beforehand. All the arrangements were made after General Zang's subordinates appeared." Cao Cao replied truthfully.

"So that's it! That's all, Mr. Cao's plan is exhaustive, and Zang is not wronged!" Zang Ba laughed bitterly, and shook his head bitterly.

"If you want to kill or cut, please, Mr. Cao!" Zang Ba said very bachelor.

"Cao wants to ask General Zang to work for Cao, but what does General Zang want?" Cao Cao said surprisingly.

"It's all at this juncture, Mr. Cao Fu, don't make fun of Zang." Zang Ba didn't believe Cao Cao's words.

"Everything Cao said is true. General Zang is both civil and military. He is a rare general. Would General Zang be willing to work for Cao?" Cao Cao said sincerely.

"Zang Ba is just a bandit, how can He De be valued so much by Lord Cao?" Zang Ba sighed and said slowly.

"Cao is still an eunuch, so what about bandits? Haha!" Cao Cao laughed.

"Then I don't know how Master Cao intends to deal with these brothers under my command?"

When he asked this question, Zang Ba had already been moved by Cao Cao, but he was not alone, he had to think about his brothers.

"Those who are willing to work for Cao will be included in the battalions; those who do not want to work for Cao will be sent back to their hometowns with money!" Cao Cao said.

"Zang Ba, meet the lord!" Zang Ba saluted.

"Xuan Gao, please get up!" Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the crossbowmen to put away their crossbows, and then Cao Cao wanted to go to help Zang Ba.

"My lord, no!" Cheng Yu persuaded.

"It doesn't matter! Since Xuan Gao has promised to work for me, how can he go back on his word?" Cao Cao shook his head.

"Throw away the weapon!" Zang Ba said loudly after hearing this, his eyes were already red before he knew it.

Cao Cao went straight to help Zang Ba, and Zang Ba saluted Cao Cao again after standing up: "From now on, Zang Ba's life will be the lord's!"

Cao Cao patted Zang Ba's shoulder in relief: "With Xuan Gao's help, we can win thousands of troops!"

Later, under Zang Ba's order, Sun Guan and Yin Li led their troops to surrender, and Cao Cao's troops increased again.

Of the [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry led by Zang Ba, except for those who did not want to continue serving as soldiers, the rest were dispersed by Cao Cao and distributed to various departments.

That night, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Zang Ba, Cao Ren and others gathered in the central army tent to discuss matters.

"Cao Ren, as the guard on duty at night, can you be convicted?" Cao Cao was the first to attack Cao Ren.

"The general will be found guilty, please punish me, my lord!" Cao Ren came out and said.

"Fifty army sticks, can you accept the punishment?" Cao Cao shouted.

"The final general is willing to receive fifty batons!" Cao Ren said loudly.

"Okay! Come on, come! Drag Cao Ren down and punish the fifty army sticks, so as to rectify the military rules!" Cao Cao ordered.

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Zang Ba said.

"What's the matter with Xuan Gao?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Cao wanted to punish Cao Ren, and Zang Ba felt very uncomfortable.

After all, the instigator of all this was him, Zang Ba, and Cao Ren was just lying down with a gun.

"My lord, General Cao Ren was punished because of the last general, who was willing to lead the fifty army sticks for General Cao Ren." Zang Ba came out and cupped his hands.

Cao Ren originally complained to Zang Ba, but when Zang Ba said this, Cao Ren immediately lost his resentment, and even felt like having a drink with Zang Ba.

"No need! Brother Xuan Gao, this is Cao's dereliction of duty. What has it to do with you?" Cao Ren refused.

Seeing Zang Ba come forward, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction. This Zang Ba is indeed a smart man, very good!

Especially the unconcealable gratitude on Cao Ren's face made Cao Cao very happy.

After the two argued for a while, Cao Cao made a final decision: "Since Zang Ba is pleading for Cao Ren, then I will send the fifty army sticks first, and punish after Yanzhou is pacified!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Cao Ren and Zang Ba clasped their hands together.

"My lord, what I mean by this subordinate is to put this aside for now, let's discuss how to destroy Changyi City!" Xun Yu said with his hands clasped.

"Wen Ruo is right! Everyone is here, let's talk about how to get rid of Liu Dai who is stationed in the isolated city! The weather is getting colder every day, and if we don't take down Changyi City, we will have to wait a few years to deal with it! " Cao Cao said.

After a pause, Cao Cao went on to say: "If we attack by force, we can take Changyi City within five days, but the damage caused by a strong attack is too great, and I feel a little bit reluctant to part with these soldiers."

"That's right! If you keep attacking, at least half of the 2 soldiers will be lost. But if you can't break through Changyi City in the near future, after a few days, Liu Dai will send someone to pour some water on the city wall, and the water will freeze. The soldiers of the army can't attack the city at all!" Cheng Yu sighed.

"Wen Ruo, Zhong De, what's your plan?" Cao Cao asked.

While asking Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao was also thinking about how to break the city in his mind.

Unlike Lu Bu, most of Lu Bu's strategies were based on the trend of major events and the foresight of the traversers. Boss Cao came up with his own hard work!
After Cao Cao's words fell, the civil and military personnel in the big tent fell into silence. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were thinking about countermeasures, and so was Cao Cao.

After being silent for a while, Cao Cao said, "Liu Dai doesn't know that Xuan Gao has joined me, can we make a fuss about it?"

Xun Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "My lord, do you mean to let General Zang lead Liu Dai out of the city?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's right! My idea is to ask Xuan Gao to write a letter to Liu Dai, and ask Liu Dai to go out of the city to attack our army. Liu Dai has been cornered, and most likely he will not refuse this matter."

"Once Liu Dai leaves the city, he won't even think about going back! Taking a step back, even if Liu Dai doesn't leave the city, all the soldiers and horses he sent must stay behind. In this way, Changyi City can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes. road.

"My lord, this plan is very clever!" Cheng Yu clapped his hands and applauded.

But while applauding, Cheng Yu was also a little ashamed. As a military adviser, he didn't come up with an idea, and the lord had to work hard and do it himself. Is it plausible?
