After learning that Lu Bu was defeated, that Cao Cao's army occupied the entire territory of Xuzhou, and that Cao's army besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi City, Sun Guan hurriedly summoned Yin Li, Wu Dun, and Chang Xi to his residence to discuss business together.
discussion.
"Brother, fortunately we have already submitted a letter of surrender to Prime Minister Cao, otherwise our current situation would not be good." Yin Li said happily.
Sun Guan shook his head and said: "Brother! Our top priority now is how to deal with Zang Ba!"
"What? Does this dead man still want to lead his army back to aid Lu Bu?" Wu Dun asked.
"Annu (Wu Dun's alias)! You are really right! This damn guy wants to keep us to stop Zuo Aoran's army again. He led his army to Xiapi to relieve Lu Bu." Sun Guan's brother (written in the previous article)
My younger brother) Sun Kang walked in from outside the door and said.
"He wants to leave us here to die, so it's better to run away by himself, right?" Yin Li said angrily.
"Oh!" Sun Guan stood up in a hurry and said, "Brother! You are finally back. Have you seen Prime Minister Cao?"
"I saw it. There is a handwritten letter from the prime minister here. Yingzi (alias Sun Kang) should read it quickly!" Sun Kang handed the letter to Sun Guandao.
Sun Guan opened the letter and took a look. His brows were happy at first, and then slightly frowned. Wu Dun asked eagerly: "Brother, what did Prime Minister Cao write in his letter?"
Sun Guan sighed and said: "Prime Minister Cao said that we have made great achievements in stopping Zuo Aoran, so he named me the governor of Qingzhou, my eldest brother Sun Kang was the prefect of Rencheng, Wu Dun was the prefect of Licheng, Yin Li was the prefect of Dongguan, and Changxi was the prefect of Lu.
Prime Minister, Chang Ba is the school captain..."
Before Sun Guan finished speaking, Chang Xi's younger brother Chang Ba interrupted and said: "Brother Sun! This is a great thing! You should be happy!"
Sun Guan frowned slightly and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. The Prime Minister asked us to continue to stop Zuo Aoran. We must stop him until he takes Xiapi City."
"What?!" Chang Xi slapped the table and said, "How can we resist Zuo Aoran's army without adding troops or generals!"
"Yes! Now that Zang Ba is leading his troops to leave again, we won't be able to withstand Zuo Aoran's army!" Yin Li also complained.
"This is a loss-making deal! We must not do it! Otherwise, we will send Zang Ba away first and wait for Zuo Aoran to attack the city. As soon as Zuo Aoran attacks the city, we will surrender. What do you think?"
Wu Dun suggested.
"No!" Sun Kang suddenly said: "If we vote for Zuo Aoran, we will definitely offend Prime Minister Cao. Once Prime Minister Cao hands our letters to Zuo Aoran, how will we deal with this?! This matter is absolutely impossible
No! You absolutely must not!”
"Yes! What Brother said makes sense, don't mention this matter again!" Sun Guan said.
Chang Ba said: "Then what should I do?"
"How about we ask for orders to go to Lu Bu's aid, but take advantage of the opportunity to slip away halfway and return to Mount Tai, where we can still be our happy and happy king?" Chang Xi said.
"No!" Sun Guan waved his hand and said: "In this case, we will go against Prime Minister Cao's wishes. He will definitely lead his army to attack, and we will be destroyed. This plan is not as good as surrendering to Zuo Aoran!"
"I have a plan!" At this moment, Sun Kang suddenly said.
"Oh?" When everyone heard this, they all looked at Sun Kang, and Sun Guan even asked: "Brother, please tell me quickly."
"We can ask Zang Ba to challenge in front of Zuo's army camp tomorrow. If he defeats the generals of Zuo's army, we will tolerate it for a few days and persuade him to come out and fight again. In this way, Prime Minister Cao's mission can be completed.
Order." Sun Guan said with a smile.
"Well, what if he shirks the situation and refuses to fight?" Yin Li asked.
Sun Kang chuckled and said: "Then let's charge him with collaborating with the enemy and kill him on the spot!"
"Then if he is willing to fight and loses to the generals of the Zuo Family Army, what will we do?" Wu Dun asked.
"If Zang Ba is defeated, we will tear down the bridge gate and prevent Zang Ba from entering the city!" Sun Kang shook his head and said.
"If Zang Ba is lucky enough to enter the city, what will happen to us?" Chang Xi asked.
"If Zang Ba is lucky enough to enter the city, we will accuse him of cheating and defeating the enemy generals, and we will kill him with random arrows." Sun Kang said with a profound expression on his face.
"Okay!" Sun Guanjie said, "We will do this tomorrow!"
Just at this time, a soldier came in and reported: "To General Sun, General Zang Ba said that he would ask the general to go there early tomorrow morning to discuss important matters."
"Huh?" Sun Guan rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can tell General Zang that I will be there tomorrow."
"Yes!" The principal left.
After the principal left, Sun Guan looked around at the crowd and said, "We will act accordingly tomorrow!"
Zang Ba's official residence in Xiaoguan.
At dawn the next day, Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Yin Li, Wu Dun, Chang Xi, Chang Ba and others arrived one after another. They did not come together because they were afraid that Zang Ba would be suspicious and their plan would fail. When Zang Ba saw everyone gathered, he
Then let the servants serve tea.
After the tea was finished and the cup was put down, Zang Ba took the lead and said: "Tomorrow I want to lead an army of 25,000 people out of the pass to help Xiapi. Generals, you must strictly guard the pass and not let a single soldier cross the pass!"
"What does General Zang Ba mean by this? Does he want to bury our brothers?" As soon as Zang Ba finished speaking, Wu Dun asked.
Zang Ba frowned and said, "What do I mean? Of course I am leading my army to rescue General Lu Bu!"
Sun Kang sneered and said: "There are only 30,000 troops in Xiaoguan City. General Zang took away 25,000, leaving only 5,000 for us. Doesn't this mean that I will be put to death?"
"Xiaoguan is an ancient fortress, a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you defend the pass, the enemy will definitely be unable to break it. Even if the enemy forces a strong attack and wants to defeat the five thousand defenders, they will have to pay five times the price.
Unless the enemy general is a man who enjoys great achievements, he will definitely not pay a heavy price in exchange for the meaningless Xiao Pass, so leaving five thousand troops in Xiao Pass is enough!" Zang Ba said.
Just at this time, a Chengmen primary school student ran in, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Reporting to General Zang Ba, two people came out from Zuo's military camp and are now outside the pass asking to see the general. These two people claim to be your sworn brothers, general."
, I hope General Zang can come out of the city to see him."
"It's true that whatever you are afraid of comes!" Zang Ba sighed secretly, waved his hand and said: "You go down first, just say that I am seriously ill and cannot go down. After my condition improves, we can talk about old times."
.”
"Wait a minute!" Sun Kang suddenly stopped the principal, chuckled at Zang Ba, and then asked the principal: "Do you know these two people outside Guanwai?"
"I don't know." Chengmen Primary School shook his head, but the Primary School seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly said: "That's right! It was these two people who met General Zang Ba last time!"
"Haha!!" Sun Kang laughed loudly, turned around and looked at Zang Badao: "General, how can you explain this?"
"Huh!" Zang Ba snorted and said: "These two are my sworn brothers. They said they would surrender to me, but I refused to submit. After two fights, they each returned. Now General Lu is gone.
, these two people will definitely talk to me again."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right!?" Yin Li interjected.
Zang Ba raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Yin Li! What do you mean by this?"
