What Cao Cao expected was basically correct, but it cannot be said to be completely accurate, because he really underestimated Zang Ba's loyalty to Pei Qing.

Since his first battle in Chang'an, Zang Ba has been slowly impressed by Pei Qing's charm. Although the contributions he had received before were made by these troops under his command, he would never have made such great contributions without Pei Qing's support. It was just that because he had been working for Tao Qian before, and his morality and reason in his heart did not make allegiance to Pei Qing, he felt depressed after coming to Wuguan to see Xu Rong and others loyal to Pei Qing. He was drunk with Pei Qing and others while drinking.

When Zang Ba went to Chang'an for the second time to serve the king, Zang Ba shined even more and was directly appointed as the position of Hongnong Prefect and General Xingyi. Zang Ba had already returned to Xuzhou at this time. After hearing the appointment, he was ready to refuse the appointment and continue to assist Tao Qian with his whole heart.

However, he did not expect that Tao Qian was afraid that his contribution would be too great to cover his light, so he held a banquet and gave him a farewell party. This made Zang Ba suddenly smile bitterly. It seemed that not everyone in the world had the mind of Pei Qing. Since that was the case, why should he stay in Xuzhou? So Zang Ba went to Hongnong to accept the appointment.

When Zang Ba left, he only took away 3,000 soldiers from his headquarters. These were all private parts that he had been following during his time in Taishan County and had no relationship with Tao Qian.

Zang Ba relied on these 3,000 people to build defense and train hard, but he made great contributions again. With three thousand people, he first defended Yang Ding, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others' attacks, and then defeated the Baibo army's Henan Huns coalition. From then on, this army was so powerful that even Cao Cao felt very afraid.

Pei Qing was happy after receiving the news from Zang Ba. He had originally thought of causing trouble for the little emperor, but because of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, he did not do so. Now Yang Ding and others took the initiative to stretch out their faces and ask for a beating. If Zang Ba did not beat him, he would be sorry for him.

"This time, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others will definitely be remembered on my head, but so what? You are provoking first, what does it have to do with me?" Pei Qing was secretly proud in his heart, but at the same time he was not arrogant, because as Cao Cao took over Luoyang, he believed that he would be able to completely control the situation soon, so he had to find a way to defend Hongnong. With Zang Ba's ability, he would naturally have no problem with resisting Yang Feng's attack, but whether he could defend Cao Cao's attack was a bit uneasy.

So now we can only find ways to improve Zang Ba's abilities.

To improve Zang Ba's ability, the best way is naturally to match him with the genes of famous generals.

Although there are few famous generals in the Zang family, there are not none. For example, Zang Gong, the founding general of this dynasty, was one of the twenty martial arts of Yuntai, and he also said that his abilities will grow rapidly.

Pei Qing then matched Zang Ba with Zang Gong's genes. After a while Zang Ba was sleeping, Pei Qing checked Zang Ba's latest attributes on the computer screen: "Congratulations to Zang Ba for successfully matching Zang Gong, the famous general in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. His latest attributes are military generals, 92 military talents, command 91, intelligence 81, internal affairs 78, characteristics doubt soldiers, characteristics effects... Characteristic pressure, characteristics effects..."

"It's true that it's a double characteristic." Pei Qing was ecstatic when he learned about Zang Ba's new attributes, because Zang Ba was actually perfectly matched and had a double characteristic. In this way, Zang Ba's strength would definitely have a qualitative leap.

"Haha, with Zang Ba now, you have the ability to defend Hongnong, right? As long as he is here, let alone Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, even Cao Cao sighed at him, right?" Pei Qing was very proud. Now Zang Ba is much stronger than the one in history, and even stronger than the famous general Zang Gong. With him, he is like an extra strong Great Wall.
