96. Zang Ba returns to Tai'an
Zang Ba received Tian Feng's urgent order and did not dare to neglect it at the moment. He ordered his troops and came to Taishan County. He walked all the way and finally entered the city on the evening of the third day.
After Zang Ba entered the city, he immediately took people straight to Changxi's mansion. Changxi was discussing with his confidant subordinates how to preserve his status and wealth after surrendering to Cao. At this time, Zang Ba broke into the door.
It turned out that Zang Ba went straight to Changxi's mansion and found that there were not many guards here and they were subordinates of the Taishan bandits back then. These people did not dare to stop them when they saw that Zang Ba did not say anything nonsense, so Zang Ba directly controlled the guards, and then rushed into the yard with his people. Changxi was still dreaming at this time, and he never expected that anyone would dare to come to his nest to capture him.
Chang Xi was shocked when she saw Zang Ba. When Zang Ba came back, wouldn’t it mean that the plan was exposed! All kinds of thoughts passed by, but in an instant, Chang Xi saw that Zang Ba was the only one who came, and there was no one behind him. He immediately turned his heart to Chang Xi winked at his confidants, and several of them pulled their weapons and rushed to Zang Ba.
This was actually done by Zang Ba on purpose. He wanted to try Chang Xi and did not care about his brotherhood. Now it seems that Chang Xi is indeed a man of bad heart. Zang Ba was furious. He pulled out his sword with him, resisted the sword of the person who rushed over, and kicked him to the ground with one kick.
When Zang Ba came, eight people were used in the house, seven of whom were Chang Xi's confidants, and the other was Chang Xi himself. At this time, Zang Ba just kicked one person, and two more swords were slashed over.
Zang Ba snorted coldly, and swept two swords to force the two of them back. At this moment, Chang Xi shouted, "What are you afraid of going together? Are you alone if you don't see him?" After drinking, he ignored the others and rushed to Zang Ba and stabbed him.
Zang Ba looked at Chang Feng with a ferocious look and cursed: "Okay, Chang Feng, I have always regarded you as a brother! You dare to treat me like this. Do you really think I can't kill you?"
"Bah! Taishan is mine, but you, an outsider, stole the boss's position. Do you think I, Changxi, will convince you and be a dog for you forever? Impossible! I am the real master of Taishan County. You will die in my hands sooner or later!" Changxi said as he was not merciless, and stabbed three swords in a row, but Zang Ba avoided them.
Zang Ba was also furious at this time. He originally wanted to show mercy and not hurt his life. Now it seems that this person is probably crazy. He has left his care for him for many years behind him! At this time, Chang Xi slashed with another sword. Zang Ba no longer dodged but turned the sword in his hand and ran towards Chang Xi's arm.
Chang Xi didn't expect Zang Ba to shoot like this. He wanted to change his moves but was slower. Zang Ba's sword was picked up on his forearm. "Ah!" Chang Xi screamed, his body retreated quickly, and blood flowed down his arm.
Seeing Chang Xi being injured, several confidants beside him rushed up again. At this time, Zang Ba had lost his patience, so he took two steps back and dodged the door. The people in the room didn't know that there were still people outside the door, so they chased out with swords. But as soon as they left the door, they were killed by the swords stretched out from both sides of the door.
After killing the people, the few people who were ambushing out turned out. It was Zang Ba's personal guards. They pulled all the bodies into the yard. One of them was not dead yet, but was then repaired. At this time, Zang Ba walked into the house again. Chang Feng had already retreated to the wall and looked at Zang Ba in horror! He didn't expect that Zang Ba would ambush his subordinates at the door. If he rushed out just now, he would have died at the hands of those people.
Zang Ba looked at Chang Xi's eyes full of disgust. Chang Xi suddenly threw away the sword and knelt down at Zang Ba, saying in tears: "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong! For the sake of my brother for many years, please give me a way out!"
Zang Ba did not speak but walked slowly two steps and stood in front of him, looking at Chang Xi condescendingly, as if he wanted to see him thoroughly. After looking for a long time, Zang Ba said, "What agreement do you have with Guo Jia?"
"Brother, I really know I'm wrong! I swear I will never betray my lord again. I am willing to be your and your lord forever. Brother, please spare me!"
"Shut up!" Zang Ba shouted sternly. "I will say whatever I ask you! Then why did Guo Jia make an agreement with you?"
"Brother, we agreed that I will announce my separation from the lord tomorrow, and then open the city gate and let Cao's army enter the city." Chang Xi said tremblingly.
Zang Ba knew the information he wanted, and then he turned around and left. He didn't even want to see Chang Xi again! When Chang Xi saw Zang Ba was about to leave, he was anxious. He crawled two steps and grabbed Zang Ba's trouser legs and said, "Brother, you can't leave, you promised to forgive me! I really know I was wrong!"
Zang Ba sneered, "I wasn't your elder brother when you set out a sword at me! Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will send you to my lord's place. I won't care whether the main attacker wants to kill you!" After that, he kicked him away, and then Zang Ba waved his hand and ran over to tie Chang Xi up.
There is still one day when Zang Ba dared not hesitate at the moment. He had to quickly prepare for the city defense! Cao's army will arrive tomorrow. How can we defend Tai'an City well? This is what Zang Ba is most worried about.
After turning around, Guo Jia and Xiahou Yuan entered Taishan County. The two did not stop, but led their troops to the vicinity of Tai'an City.
Guo Jia frowned at the city, and there were a lot more soldiers on the city than in the previous few days! What changes could have happened if the stump was made? However, he still did not expect that Chang Xi had been taken down by Zang Ba at this moment, and the person in charge of Tai'an City became Zang Ba.
It was almost evening, but no one was sent out in the city to welcome them into the city. Guo Jia knew that something must have happened!
Turning around the sky, Xiahou Yuan called out under Tai'an City. Chang Xi did not appear on the top of the city, but a black-faced man appeared. When Guo Jia looked at this person behind Xiahou Yuan, he thought to himself: It's over! How could he be here? It seems that Chang Xi is in danger!
Sure enough, the black-faced man shouted to Cao's army at the city: "I am Zang Ba, and Chang Xi has been taken down by me. If I retreat quickly, otherwise this city of Tai'an will be the place where you can bury your bones!"
When Xiahou Yuan heard this person say that he was Zang Ba, he was also stunned. However, when he heard what happened, his face instantly became much ugly. He pointed a big knife in his hand and shouted immediately: "Look at you, you are also a general, dare to fight with someone!"
Zang Ba sneered at the top of the city: "You can just attack the city if you have the ability. If you can attack the city, I will fight you!"
When Xiahou Yuan saw that there was nothing he could do, he led his men to retreat and went to find Guo Jia to have an idea. Guo Jia looked at Tai'an City and saw that there were not many defenders in the city, and Zang Ba was preparing for the city in a hurry, so he finally decided to attack the city!
