Xiahou Ba was woken up by his guards in a hurry. Before he could scold Chen Zuo, he was picked up by his guards and rushed out of the house.
Xiahou Ba's personal guards wanted to send Xiahou Ba safely out of Tongguan before the Han army arrived.
But it is a pity that because Chen Zuo's rebellion happened too suddenly and it was night time, Tongguan City is now in a panic situation.
The awakened Wei army and soldiers ran on the streets in Tongguan like fish in a pond, which seriously affected Xiahou Ba's escape speed.
If that's all it is, the situation isn't too critical.
What Xiahou Ba didn't expect was that Chen Zuo was not the only one in Tongguan who had dissent.
Zhu Ling, Zhang Jun and other Wei generals who had bowed to him in the past, saw that the Han army had entered the city, so they gathered their old troops to attack his mansion.
The purpose of Zhu Ling and others is very clear, which is to either capture Xiahou Ba alive or take Xiahou Ba's head.
Only by doing this can their "loyalty" not be concealed by Chen Zuo alone.
Due to his different status, Zhu Ling could not gather many old troops, but when the old troops of several Wei generals were put together, there were hundreds of people.
And Xiahou Ba's personal guards only numbered a hundred people.
When Xiahouba saw Zhu Ling and others leading an army towards him under the protection of his personal guards, Xiahouba's first reaction was that Zhu Ling and others were here to protect him.
But when the blade in Zhu Ling's hand hacked to death one of Xiahou Ba's personal guards, Xiahou Ba realized that Zhu Ling was also one of the traitors tonight.
After knowing this, Xiahouba no longer bothered to pretend that he was being coerced and "had no choice but to escape". He decisively directed the guards around him to return the same way.
Zhu Ling and other Wei generals saw that Xiahou Ba was about to run away, so naturally their eyes turned red and they were very anxious.
Now in their eyes, Xiahou Ba is not a strong man with a height of seven feet, but a moving record of military exploits. Who can withstand such temptation?
One party wants to chase eagerly, and the other wants to escape desperately. In addition, there are many people between the two parties. Under normal circumstances, there should be a bloody scene on the street.
But what is puzzling is that whether it is Xiahou Ba's side or Zhu Ling's side, they are too scrupulous to extend the butcher's knife to the people.
The reason why this scene happened is not that Xiahou Ba, Zhu Ling and others are kind people, but that Mi Yang's oath to the Weishui River has invisibly put a layer of shackles on them.
Needless to say, Zhu Ling's side was originally planning to surrender to the Han.
Under this situation, unless Zhu Ling and others are mentally ill, they will not be cruel to the people tonight.
After all, if you can't hold Xiahou Ba down, it will be futile at best, but if you slaughter the people with bloody hands, it will be a definite death penalty.
As for Xiahou Ba, he didn't want to submit to the Han Dynasty.
It's one thing to not surrender, but it's another thing to seek death directly - who can guarantee that he will be able to escape tonight?
Xiahou Ba felt that he was not stupid.
With both parties having their own concerns, Zhu Ling's attempt to catch up with Xiahou Ba was blocked, but Xiahou Ba's escape back to his mansion was not smooth either.
While both sides were chasing each other, Jiang Wei led his army to the street in time.
Jiang Wei, who was riding a horse, could faintly see two groups of people marching on the street in front of him through the light of the fire.
Jiang Wei thought that at this moment, there were still Wei troops in Tongguan who wanted to resist.
So he quickly asked the Han soldiers beside him to shout: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
When the loud slogans of the Han army rang out in the streets, Zhu Ling and other Wei generals who found the organization were very excited.
They immediately put down their weapons to show their submission, and it was naturally impossible for Xiahou Ba to do such a thing.
Seeing that it was impossible to return to the mansion, he made a prompt decision and asked the surrounding guards to escort him into a private residence.
This residence is probably the residence of a certain gentry. It is not large in area but still has depth.
After rushing into the mansion, Xiahou Ba yelled angrily for everyone in the mansion to escape quickly, and ordered his guards to guard the door.
And he himself came to the highest attic in the mansion and looked at the Han troops below who had surrounded the mansion.
Jiang Wei didn't know Xiahou Ba, but when he saw that there were many people guarding Xiahou Ba until now, he knew that the Wei general who climbed up to the attic had an extraordinary identity.
This speculation was confirmed before and after Zhu Ling came to Jiang Wei.
Although Zhu Ling discarded the weapon in his hand, he did not come to Jiang Wei empty-handed.
In his hand he was holding tightly a hastily cut red military flag.
Holding the red military flag in his hand, Zhu Ling came to Jiang Wei's side. Zhu Ling, who knew what he was looking for, quickly bowed to Jiang Wei and then raised the red military flag high in his hand to show his loyalty to the big man.
Jiang Wei, who knew that Zhu Ling would be of great use in the future, would certainly not harm Zhu Ling's life easily, but the humble look of Zhu Ling bending down and holding the red military flag still made Jiang Wei laugh a little.
If Lu Zhizhong is here and can paint the current scene and pass it on to future generations, it will definitely be a good story in the future.
Zhu Ling came to Jiang Wei and immediately revealed Xiahou Ba's identity to Jiang Wei in order to claim credit.
Xiahou Ba, who was sitting on the attic, had a clear view of Zhu Ling's movements, so he was inevitably furious.
How can people be so shameless?
Xiahou Ba felt that his "pure" heart had been hit hard.
And after learning Xiahou Ba's identity, Jiang Wei would not let him go.
On the one hand, Jiang Wei ordered the Han army to besiege the mansion, and on the other hand, he summoned Chen Zuo and asked him to persuade Xiahou Ba to come down.
But after Chen Zuo arrived, before he could say the first sentence, Xiahou Ba pointed at Chen Zuo's nose and cursed:
"Chen Zuo! You are such a wolf-hearted person!
In vain for my trust in you, you actually colluded with the rebels to betray the Wei Dynasty. Is this worthy of Duke Chen and the cultivation that the Wei Dynasty has given you?"
Xiahou Ba knew that Chen Zuo would be promoted to the governor of Beihai soon, and Xiahou Ba also knew that with Chen Zuo's relationship, he would not be unaware of this matter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Xiahouba didn't understand why Chen Zuo betrayed Wei.
Facing Xiahou Ba's curse, Chen Zuo didn't care at all.
From the Wei Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, the more Xiahou Ba scolded him, the less he was afraid of his own reputation.
But he still had to complete the task given by Jiang Wei.
Chen Zuo, who was under the attic, raised his head and looked up at the sky. The dark sky did not allow him to accurately see Xiahou Ba's figure, but Chen Zuo still bowed to the sky:
"If the general situation is like this, does the general think that a loft and a few courtyards can save the general?
Now that the man has a good life and is mindful of the fact that you did not wield the butcher's knife just now, he asked me to come and advise the general.
A general should not try to disobey the laws of heaven. If a general insists on having his own way, he will destroy himself from heaven and earth."
Chen Zuo opened his mouth for a long time and kept silent for a few days, making Xiahou Ba unable to refute even if he wanted to.
Why not talk about righteousness with the big man today?
Xiahou Ba thinks he is not stupid.
Xiahou Ba, who could not refute Chen Zuo, could only hold up the torch and wave it in his hand:
"The great Wei Dynasty has been as kind to me as a mountain. I will never betray the great Wei Dynasty. Even if your clever tongue is a sharp blade, you can't touch me in the slightest."
Seeing Xiahou Ba pretending to immolate himself, Chen Zuo couldn't help but feel troubled.
He didn't know why Jiang Wei insisted on persuading Xiahou Ba to surrender, but it seemed that the task Jiang Wei had given him could not be completed.
Xiahou Ba's reaction also fell in Jiang Wei's eyes. It can be seen from Xiahou Ba's reaction that he had no intention of surrendering to the big man.
But this did not make Jiang Wei angry. He wanted to persuade Xiahou Ba to surrender, not because he valued him much, but simply because he wanted to save Xiahou Ba's life.
Jiang Wei is not Deng Ai, but he still has some political emotional intelligence.
Jiang Wei knew that the current Crown Princess was the daughter of the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family had a close relationship with Xiahou Ba. From a relationship point of view, Xiahou Ba was the uncle-in-law of the crown prince Liu Chan.
With this relationship, if Xiahou Ba is forced to die, it will have a bad impact on Mi Yang after all.
Of course, this relationship would not allow Jiang Wei to compromise with Xiahou Ba.
Jiang Wei signaled Chen Zuo to step back, and he himself shouted to the attic:
"General Xiahou is very righteous, but does it mean that General Xiahou will risk his life tonight to protect your relative and die?"
When Jiang Wei's words reached Xiahou Ba's ears, the hand holding the torch stopped swinging.
The current bodyguards are different from ordinary soldiers. In order to ensure the loyalty of the bodyguards, current generals usually choose clan members to serve as bodyguards.
In other words, Jiang Wei asked Xiahou Ba to consider the safety of his people.
Of course Xiahou Ba even heard the implication of Jiang Wei's words.
Jiang Wei's words were actually giving him a step down, and Xiahou Ba definitely didn't want to die, so he wanted to step on this step.
Xiahou Ba looked at the direction of the sound below, and shouted to the bottom:
"I don't want to surrender, but I am willing to be captured for my people!"
As soon as Xiahou Ba said these words, his bodyguard below immediately burst into tears.
Amid the painful cries of the guards, Jiang Wei's assurance then reached Xiahou Ba's ears:
"If the general puts down his arms, I can guarantee that your life and that of all your people will be safe."
After receiving this assurance from Jiang Wei, Xiahou Ba finally put down the torch in his hand.
And he signaled the guards below to put down their weapons.
After Xiahou Ba and others put down their weapons, the surrounding Han army immediately rushed into the mansion and captured them.
Soon after, Xiahou Ba was brought to Jiang Wei. Due to Jiang Wei's special instructions, Xiahou Ba was not tied to a rope.
Looking at the dejected Xiahou Ba, a meaningful smile appeared on Jiang Wei's face.
Jiang Wei seemed to inadvertently ask about Xiahou Badao:
"Where is the general's seal?"
Seeing Jiang Wei asking about his seal, Xiahou Ba, who was downcast, didn't think much about it. Since he had become a prisoner, of course he had to cooperate with some matters.
Xiahou Ba took out the seal from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Wei's hand.
When Xiahou Ba's seal fell into his hands, Jiang Wei carefully observed the authenticity of the seal in the firelight.
When Xiahou Ba saw that Jiang Wei was so focused on his general's seal, he couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart.
A mere lieutenant...
But before Xiahou Ba's disdain could last, Jiang Wei's next words instantly made Xiahou Ba furious.
"I heard that Cao Rui asked you to cover up the battle situation in Guanzhong?"
Xiahou Ba watched Jiang Wei's actions and listened to Jiang Wei's words, and gradually understood what Jiang Wei wanted.
He is playing tricks on me!
The angry Xiahou Ba was about to pounce on Jiang Wei and snatch the seal, but how could it be so easy to get back what he handed over?
Before Xiahou Ba took a few steps forward, he was pinned to the ground by the Han army behind him.
Is Xiahou Ba really not stupid?
The furious Xiahou Ba looked up at Jiang Wei with a smile on his face:
"It turns out that the most evil person is not Chen Zuo, but you!"
Looking at Xiahou Ba who was belatedly realizing what he was doing, Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh.
Simply blocking the river may have a temporary effect.
