Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The cold weather caused a lot of trouble for the Xuzhou Army to attack Xiapi, and Xiapi City had defensive equipment that was no weaker than that of the Xuzhou Army. In this regard, the Xuzhou Army did not have an absolute advantage, and suffered a lot of losses for a while.

After Zang Ba's late-night sneak attack, their morale was also in a low state.

However, Hua Xiong felt a certain degree of satisfaction. After this period of hard work, he had managed to subdue the generals in the cavalry. Hua Xiong had superb martial arts and rich experience in cavalry combat.

"Mr. Chen, the weather is cold today, and the army has captured Pi for a long time, but there is not much gain. The morale of the soldiers is low. If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to our army. In the opinion of the general, it is better to retreat temporarily and wait for the future.

." Hua Xiong said. At this time, his strength in Xuzhou was greatly weakened, and he no longer had the confidence he had in front of Chen Deng.

Chen Deng sighed helplessly. Zang Ba was extremely strict with the aristocratic families in the city, and Zang Ba promised huge profits to the aristocratic families in the city, so that the aristocratic families did not act excessively. After Zang Ba occupied Xiapi, it did not affect them.

existing interests.

Although Cao Cao gave the Xuzhou Army a lot of support in terms of siege equipment, there was a big gap between the elite level of the Xuzhou Army and Zang Ba's soldiers, and Zang Ba had the advantage of the city. According to the current situation, even if

Even if we attack Xiapi for two more months, it will be difficult to defeat Xiapi. The army's expedition will consume a huge amount of food and grass. Even though Xuzhou is rich in food and grass, it can be said that its vitality has been greatly reduced after successive turmoils.

"Withdraw your troops, I will make this matter clear to the lord." Chen Deng said. He originally thought that conquering Xiapi was a sure thing, but who would have expected that Zang Ba actually had such sharp weapons as a thunderbolt chariot and a bed crossbow.

Two days later, there was no trace of Xuzhou's army outside Xiapi City. After more than two months of fighting, Zang Ba defended Xiapi. As a result, Zang Ba's prestige in Xiapi increased day by day, and Zang Ba's generals became more and more popular.

They are very motivated. If they can capture Xuzhou, they will get more benefits.

The aristocratic family was not willing to be lonely. If there was an opportunity to improve their strength, they would not let it go. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Xiapi, the aristocratic family frequently took action and gained a lot of benefits. Zang Ba seemed not to be aware of it at all.

On the contrary, he comforted the aristocratic families in the city with kind words. The status of the aristocratic families in the officialdom did not change much, but the military power was firmly controlled by Zang Ba.

Seeing this, the aristocratic family despised Zang Ba, but they did not have any thoughts of betraying Zang Ba. A reckless Zang Ba was of great help to their interests. Besides, the strength of Zang Ba's subordinates was not weak, so the aristocratic family had confidence.

Gradually taking control of Xiapi, the family became the dominant force in Xiapi City.

Just like Hua Xiong who settled in Xiapi back then, he was no weaker than Zang Ba in terms of personal force and army strength. However, the aristocratic families in the city still played a significant role. However, due to Hua Xiong's recklessness, the aristocratic families did not dare to do anything.

Such an excessive move, but they saw hope in Zang Ba.

After Chen Deng withdrew his troops, Zang Ba showed a scene that surprised the aristocratic families in the city. He took action one after another to clean up the aristocratic families in the city. At this time, there was no threat from the army outside the city, and Zang Ba had absolute prestige in the city. The aristocratic family

They didn't dare to make any other changes. Only then did they realize that it was not Zang Ba who didn't understand officialdom, but because of the Xuzhou Army outside the city.

Under Zang Ba's suppression and win over, the aristocratic families in the city temporarily stabilized. During this period, Chen Gong was naturally making suggestions.

Then Zang Ba left Wu Dun in Xiapi and led an army of five thousand back to Langxie. Langxie was the foundation of Zang Ba, and after Yuan Shao occupied Qingzhou, he was a big threat to Langxie.

Yuan Shao's methods were much more sophisticated than Chen Deng's, and Yuan Shao's counselors were resourceful. Although Yuan Shao was defeated by Lu Bu, Zang Ba did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.

Once Yuan Shao takes action, it will be a big disaster for Xuzhou.

However, now Xin Pi secretly took refuge, giving Zang Ba an extra layer of protection when dealing with Yuan Shao.

The situation in Xuzhou worries Chen Gong. The main thing is that Xuzhou is not close to Lu Bu's territory. Once a war breaks out, it means he has to face it alone. Although Zang Ba owns three counties in Xuzhou, he has nothing to do with Cao Cao.

, compared with princes like Yuan Shao, their strength is still weak.

However, Chen Gong is confident of establishing a foothold in Xuzhou. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are definitely at odds with each other. The strength of the two sides is not on the same level. If Yuan Shao relies on Zang Ba to contain Cao Cao, he will not sit back and watch Cao Cao pacify Xuzhou. In this way, they will

Given the chance to survive in Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not dare to push too hard.

After returning to Langye, Zang Ba sent Sun Guan to the counties to invite Guan Hai.

The background of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans led by Guan Hai in Qingzhou cannot be ignored. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have suffered a big loss in this operation. If he could get Guan Hai's help, facing Yuan Shao's

At that time, there was a greater chance of winning, and Yuan Shao drove Guan Hai out of Qingzhou. Guan Hai must have hated Yuan Shao in his heart and could not stand on the same camp as Yuan Shao.

It is said that after Yuan Shao returned to Linzi, he did not realize that the jade seal was missing. However, a few days later, Yuan Shao had a whim and wanted to go to the treasury to take a look at the jade seal, but found that there was nothing under the hidden compartment, and there was no trace of the jade seal.

The anger in Yuan Shao's heart can be imagined. The jade seal represents destiny, and if he can get the jade seal, it means God's will. People of this era attach great importance to this.

"Let the general guarding the treasury come to see me." Yuan Shao suppressed the anger in his heart. It is impossible to tell the matter about the jade seal. Even if it is lost, he can only investigate in secret. People who can enter and leave the treasury

It is limited, and anyone who enters the treasury must obtain his order and be accompanied by the generals guarding the treasury.

Before he led the troops to Beihai, the jade seal still existed, which shows that the loss of the jade seal occurred after he left Linzi.

"I ask you, who went to the treasury while I was away?" Yuan Shao asked coldly. This treasury is different from the treasury in Qingzhou, but is owned by Yuan Shao privately.

Feeling the coldness in Yuan Shao's tone, the general was shocked and hurriedly replied: "After Yehou left, two people entered the treasury."

"Who?" Yuan Shao couldn't hide his murderous intent in his eyes.

"They are the eldest son and the third son." The general did not dare to neglect and replied hurriedly. Neither Yuan Shang nor Yuan Tan could compare with Yuan Shao in terms of status. He had already felt the strong murderous intention from Yuan Shao.
