Chapter four hundred and fifteen
"What the hell!"
As soon as Wei Xu left, Cao Bao spat in front of the city, expressing his inner dissatisfaction.
If it wasn't for the purpose of capturing Xiapi, Cao Bao would never have done such a thing. It was so embarrassing.
"General, what should we do now?" The captain on the side asked quickly when he saw Wei Xu leaving.
"What should we do? Send someone out of the city to find Duke Xuande's people in Nancheng!"
"Remember, tell the brother who is leaving the city to go as far away as possible! Don't let others see it!" Cao Bao said, looking at the captain.
"Here!" When the captain heard what Cao Bao said, he immediately arranged for manpower to contact Liu Bei's manpower.
Just when Cao Bao was arranging his men to leave the city, none of them noticed that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him on the other side of the city wall.
When the person who came out of the city to report the news had run out for almost a hundred steps, a group of soldiers who were looking for defense suddenly jumped out.
"Someone has escaped from the city, hurry up, kill him!" the soldiers who were looking for defense shouted loudly, and then several arrows were missed, but they failed to kill the servant.
"Cao Bao! What are you doing here! Where is Wei Xu!" At this time, a sudden explosion sounded in everyone's ears.
Cao Cao, who was still happy that the people who reported the news had successfully escaped, heard this voice and immediately sighed in his heart.
He turned around and saw that it was Zang Ba, the most ill-tempered person under Lu Bu's command.
Zang Ba is somewhat related to Zhang Yan because they both came from the Yellow Turban Army.
However, Zhang Yan was hiding in Taihang, and Zang Ba was also hiding in Taishan County.
When Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou and occupied Xiapi, Zang Ba took the initiative to join Lu Bu.
Even though Zang Ba belonged to neither the Bingzhou faction nor the Xiliang faction, and had nothing to do with the Xuzhou faction, Zang Ba still gained a firm foothold in Lu Bu's camp by relying on his personal force and charm.
He became friends with Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others.
However, Zang Ba also has some disadvantages, that is, his temper is really not very good, especially when dealing with wealthy families.
After all, Zang Ba had joined the Yellow Turban Army before, so how could he have a favorable impression of a wealthy family?
Therefore, Cao Bao had a bad relationship with Zang Ba before, and it was even said that the hatred between them was worse than the hatred between him and Wei Xu and others.
At this time, Cao Bao saw that it was Zang Ba who was coming, and he stopped. This matter could not be a good thing.
So, before Zang Ba approached with anyone, he made a gesture to the people under his hands, indicating that they were ready to shoot Zang Ba at any time.
"Cao Bao! I'm asking you! What are you doing! Why are you here! Where is Wei Xu!"
"Also, who is that person who ran out just now? What is he going to do?" Zang Ba came first before anyone arrived, and he asked Cao Bao loudly.
At this time, Cao Bao saw that Zang Ba had only a few hundred people with him. He also understood that if he continued to delay, he would only attract more people.
Ever since, Cao Bao waved his hand and he stopped pretending and showed his cards.
"Kill them! Don't let them escape!" Cao Bao roared, and his lieutenants immediately rushed forward with their men.
When Zang Ba saw this, although he pretended to be a little panicked on the surface, he was ecstatic on the inside.
Isn’t this great achievement coming soon?
"Cao Bao has rebelled! Go and tell the lord!" Zang Ba shouted, then led his men and rushed forward.
Looking at Zang Ba who rushed forward, Cao Bao was a little confused. He thought that Zang Ba was stupid because he couldn't see the difference in numbers?
However, although Cao Bao couldn't understand Zang Ba's initiative, he was very satisfied with it. After all, if Zang Ba wanted to run away, he would have to spend more effort.
However, Cao Bao's happiness did not last long.
As soon as the two parties came into contact, he heard a roar from the end of the street in the distance: "Don't panic! I'm here to save you."
Got it!"
Cao Bao looked back and saw that Wei Xu was running toward him with someone.
Seeing Wei Xu, who had already left, come back so soon, Cao Bao finally felt something was wrong.
However, he did not panic at this time. After all, he still had more than 10,000 people in his hands. Even if Wei Xu came, he would not be able to break through his defense line in a short time.
And the west city gate is still in Tal's hands. He only needs to hold on for a while, and the army outside the city will catch wind of it and come over.
By then, let alone Wei Xu, even if Lu Bu came, he would have no choice but to run away.
"Quick! Separate some brothers and open the city gate for me! Get ready to welcome Duke Xuande into the city!" Cao Bao stopped hiding at this time and shouted loudly.
"Cao Bao is a thief! Did you really surrender to Liu Bei?" The brave Zang Ba heard Cao Bao's cry after killing several soldiers, and he immediately asked.
"Humph! Don't you all know this, and you still ask questions knowingly?" Cao Bao looked at Zang Ba who was surrounded by the crowd, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Why? My lord treats you well and even marries you and your daughter. Is this how you repay my lord?" Zang Ba said with a frown.
"Common man, what do you know? A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. Lu Bu is not a master, so why can't I change the court?" Cao Bao didn't take it seriously.
"Xuan Gao, why are you talking nonsense to him? Just kill him!" Wei Xu suddenly waved the long knife in his hand and said to Zang Ba.
When Zang Ba heard Wei Xu's words, although he did not answer, he waved the spear in his hand faster, which was enough to express his decision.
"Hmph! Ignorant children, do you think you can kill me? Duke Xuande's army will arrive soon. By then, it is not certain who will kill whom!" Cao Bao snorted coldly.
As soon as he said these words, he heard Dong's sound, and at the same time there was a burst of sound at his feet.
"What's going on!" Cao Bao looked at the captain next to him in confusion. The captain also had a confused look on his face.
"No, General!"
Just when Cao Bao looked confused, a captain with blood on his face stumbled to his side.
"It's not good, General! The city gate fell down! It crushed several of our brothers to death. All the blood on the general's body belongs to them!" the captain said in panic.
He felt something was wrong. Why did the city gate suddenly collapse when it was in good condition? You know, they didn't do anything, they just touched the city gate lightly.
I heard that the city gate collapsed with just a light touch. In terms of combination, I had just sent people to find Liu Bei's men, but they were captured by Zang Ba. There were also people who had already left, but came back quickly.
Wei Xu.
No matter how stupid Cao Bao was, he still felt something was wrong.
He turned his head angrily to look at Wei Xu and Zang Ba, and Cao Bao noticed that there was a vague sneer on their faces.
