Zang Ba nodded and said, "General Wu is indispensable for being able to hold the East China Sea."

Wu Dun said: "General, why didn't you see the military division coming back with the army."

Zang overbearing: "There is no need to worry about the military division. Cao Jun intends to ambush his general outside the city to see through it for the military division. The military division led his pawns back to the East China Sea from another road."

"Cao Jun wants to seize the East China Sea from this general, it depends on whether they have the patience. He sent Sun Guan and sent two thousand soldiers to the East China Sea." Zang Ba commanded.

Glancing at the generals in the arena, Zang domineering: "You have been following this general for many years. Although Cao Jun is crowded and powerful, as long as you guard the city carefully, you can repel Cao Jun."

"Here." The generals in the field clasped their fists in unison, and they had confidence in Zang Ba.

Today, there are 4,000 defenders in the city, plus more than 1,000 foot soldiers led by Chen Gong, 2,000 foot soldiers sent by Langxie, and cavalry brought back by Zang Ba. The number can reach 8,000. Thousands of people is different from the defenders of Xiapi. They are the troops trained by Zang Ba in Langxie and the East China Sea for many years. Whether it is combat effectiveness or loyalty, it is not comparable to the defenders of Xiapi.

After the Xiapi incident, Zang Ba increased his vigilance towards the family. The Xiapi family could do something to betray him, and the Donghai family might also choose to do so.

"Let the family leaders in the city come to see this general." When referring to the family, Zang Ba's voice was a little low.

After everyone left, Wu Dun whispered: "Why don't the general follow the example of Jin Marquis and eradicate all the families in the city? Without the secret help of the family, it is natural to resist Cao Jun."

Zang Ba shook his head and said: "The power of the aristocratic family is not as simple as it seems. This general does not have the powerful strength of the Jinhou, so he can only fight against the family. This general has been occupying the East China Sea for a long time. I think these aristocratic families will be wise. s Choice."

"General, there are a lot of private soldiers in the hands of the family." Wu Dun reminded.

Zang Ba nodded. He gathered the family in the city for the private soldiers of the family. This time, regardless of whether the family agrees or not, he must hold the private soldiers of the family firmly in his hands first. It can consume the private soldiers of the family to the greatest extent.

Zang Ba lost the battle and lost the news of Xia Pi, spreading among the families in the city at an extremely fast speed, and Cao Jun became the biggest shadow of the family's heart.

Under the threat of Zang Ba, the aristocratic family obediently handed over the private soldiers in their hands. This is also why the aristocratic family in Donghai City had a certain confidence in Zangba. Over the years, Zang Ba has been very good to the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family is also very good. Many benefits were obtained from it, and the private soldiers were handed over to Zang Ba, hoping that Zang Ba could withstand the attack of Cao Jun.

There may be benefits after taking refuge in Cao Cao. However, there are many families under Cao Cao's rule. Once these families reach out to the East China Sea, their interests will be greatly impacted. Under the premise of being able to hold the East China Sea, they will not be easy. Surrendered to Cao Cao.

As a result, Zang Ba received thousands of private soldiers again, and the strength of the defenders increased a lot.

Cao Cao gathered troops to attack Zang Ba in Yanzhou. Lu Bu received news shortly after returning to Chang'an. However, his rule was not close to Xuzhou, and it was impossible to give Zang Ba military support, and at this time he was recuperating. The deployment of the Chang'an Army consumed a lot of food and supplies. If Ma Teng hadn't stood on the opposite side of Bingzhou when the princes attacked Bingzhou, Lu Bu would definitely not send troops to Ma Teng at this time.

Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, which made Lu Bu have a deeper concern about the situation in Xuzhou. He knew very well what kind of methods Cao Cao had. The ability of Cao Cao to lead the battle was beyond doubt.

Of course, Lu Bu also understands that Cao Cao will not let Zang Ba make trouble in Xuzhou so easily. Xuzhou is a land of wealth. If it is stable, Cao Jun will be able to get more support in future battles. Xuzhou is of great significance to Cao Jun. .

Zang Ba repelled the defenders of Xuzhou after occupying Langxie and the East China Sea before, but it did not cause Cao's aggressive attack. This time Zang Ba's seizure of Xia Pi must have caused Cao Cao's jealousy. The same thing was placed on Lu Bu's body. Wouldn't let Zang Ba go so easily, Ma Teng is a good example.

If Zang Ba's power in Xuzhou was damaged, it would be extremely unfavorable for Lu Bu to capture Xuzhou in the future.

"Shiyuan, now Benhou has encountered a trouble." Lu Bu sighed.

Pang Tong wondered: "Lord, now Liangzhou is pacified, and there are no thieves who dare to make trouble in the third auxiliary land. Why is the lord worried?"

Zang Ba's affairs are absolutely confidential in Bingzhou, and Pang Tong has just taken refuge in it, so naturally he won't know it.

"Shiyuan, now that Cao Cao is leading the attack on Xuzhou, Zang Ba is in danger." Lu Bu said.

What a shrewd person Pang Tong is. Cao Cao sent troops to attack Zang Ba. It was within his expectation. "The lord means that Zang Ba secretly took refuge in the lord ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lv Bu nodded and said: "At the beginning, Benhou rushed to Xuzhou and passed through Lang. At the time of evil, there were some conflicts with Zang Ba, and then Zang Ba recognized his lord as the master. Over the years, Bingzhou has also helped Zang Ba in secret. "

The surprise in Pang Tong's heart can be imagined. It can be seen from the planning of this matter that when Lu Bu rushed to assist Xuzhou, he had the mind to capture Xuzhou, and laid the flag of Zangba in ambush in Xuzhou. The importance of Xuzhou can be imagined, otherwise Cao Cao would not lead an army of fifty thousand to attack Zangba.

This is the time when the princes are recuperating, and blindly conquering is extremely detrimental to the stability of the governance, unless it is a time of necessity.

"In this way, Zang Ba is now in danger. Who is Cao Cao? He can certainly see through clues that Zang Ba is implicated in the lord." Pang Tong said, "Although there is no clear evidence, as long as there is a trace Possibly, Cao Cao would not let Zang Ba go down in Xuzhou."

Lu Bu nodded helplessly. Although Zang Ba's power in Langxie was not small, he did not obtain the right to rule Langxie. With the strength of his original hand, it would be difficult to seize more cities in Langxie. Yes, in order to support Zang Ba's rapid rise in Xuzhou, Lu Bu secretly sent to Langxie's war horses. Before Chen Deng led the Xuzhou army to attack Pi, he sent them to many artisans in Langxie to secretly create a thunderbolt for Zang Ba. Cars and bed crossbows, used to resist the Xuzhou Army.

"My lord, although Cao Cao broke through Xia Pi, it was a loss of soldiers and generals. The lord secretly had a connection with Zang Ba. It was only Cao Cao's guess. The lord might as well order Zang Ba to temporarily seek refuge in Cao Cao. For the stability of Xuzhou, Cao Cao might believe in Zang Ba. , And retreat." Pang Tongdao.
