I have to say that Guo Jia is really too smart and can directly guess Pei Qing’s core secret. However, because this fact is shocking and even far beyond the thinking of normal people, Guo Jia just occasionally jumps in thinking and did not really guess that Pei Qing would "turn stones into gold" and cultivate ordinary talents into top talents.

After a long discussion, Cao Cao finally decided to take advantage of the victory to negotiate with Yuan Shao, and then turn around to deal with Pei Qing. So Cao Cao sent his adviser Mao Jie to Yecheng to visit Yuan Shao and discuss the peace talks. Then he secretly gathered troops and prepared to go south to Xuzhou to fight Pei Qing with all his strength. Guo Jia was right. Just relying on Cao Ren's current strength alone is not Pei Qing's opponent at all. He must take action as soon as possible.

However, his movements were still slow. After Yuan Shao finally had a good talk, something happened in Xuzhou.

Just when Cao Ren was on full alert for Pei Qing in Pei State, Pei Qing launched a surprise soldier. He secretly appointed Xu Rong as the prefect of Hongnong and secretly transferred the former prefect of Liang to the prime minister of Liang. This does not mean that Zang Ba is more capable than Xu Rong. The key is that Zang Ba is a native of Taishan County. Now, Cao Cao's Taishan County Governor Yu Jin's generals are in good faith in Zang Ba in normal times, so as long as they can successfully surrender those generals, they can occupy Taishan County. Once they occupy Taishan County, the entire Xuzhou will be completely isolated, with neither rescuers nor food supplies, and it will be a matter of time to be captured. In this way, Pei Qing will not only successfully occupy the entire Xuzhou, but also Yanzhou will infiltrate.

Zang Ba knew what was going on as soon as he received the order. He was the same brothers as Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Chang Xi, and once formed a army together. These four people were known as the four enemies of Mount Tai. First, they echoed Tao Qian and made Taishan County actually obey Tao Qian. Later, after Lu Bu rushed in, he surrendered to Lu Bu. After Cao Cao came over, he surrendered to Cao Cao. Although he looked like a fence-bearing man, Zang Ba believed that the relationship between them still existed. With their former friendship, it was still very possible to surrender them.

So the first thing Zang Ba did after coming to Liang State was to personally disguise and secretly contact these four people.

When Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Chang Xi heard about the news of Zang Ba's arrival, he was also very excited. Although Yu Jin was a fellow villager with them, he was serious and serious. He also despised their behavior of betraying the old master and surrendering to the new master several times, and he was particularly strict in his control, which made them feel a little dissatisfied.

These detailed works that had been trained by Hu Zhao had already been asked clearly, so Pei Qing naturally told Zang Ba all this.

Just at this time, Zang Ba visited, which gave them new hope and welcomed Zang Ba very enthusiastically.

"After many years of separation, I am really happy to see Brothers of Life and Death again today. Brothers, I have been missing for a long time. I wonder if you are doing well now?" After the greetings, Zang Ba's face was extremely excited and asked these Brothers of Life and Death.

Sun Guan sighed and said slowly: "I'm not hiding it from my brother, we didn't live so well in passing, that person with the surname Yu..."

Seeing that Sun Guan was still hesitating, Wu Dun said anxiously: "Now Brother Xuan Gao is here, what can I say? Brother Sun, you have learned some mother-in-law from your brother who is studying, and you are too upright."

Sun Guan had a biological elder brother, whose name was Sun Kang. Of course, Sun Kang was not the Sun Kang who studied in Yingxue in history, but his name was the same, but Sun Kang also read some books. Now he is a disciple of Yu Jin. Because he was also a bandit before, he was not very valued.

Sun Guan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll say that there's nothing to hide. Although Yu Jin is also a person from Taishan County, he was appointed as the prefect of Taishan County because he was valued by Cao Gong. Originally, officials could not be the chief in his hometown. However, in order to show his favor to Jin, Cao Gong specially appointed him as the governor of Taishan County and sent us generals from Taishan to assist him. However, Yu Jin has a high opinion of himself and deliberately looked down on us, despising our character, and his requirements for us are particularly strict. As long as we make a small mistake, it is a very severe punishment. The military pay and supplies distributed to us are always worse than other troops. Therefore, we are not doing well now. Chang Si can meet the wise master, but he is not as valued as his brother, as he is."

When Zang Ba heard this, he quickly said humbly: "I'm just making a fortune under the lord's command. However, there is one thing for the lord. As long as you are willing to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, the lord will always give you a chance. And as long as you make meritorious contributions, you will definitely reward meritoriously. No one will be discounted. The most important thing is that the lord's rewards are very generous, and it's okay to have an official title. After all, there is only so much in total, but the money is richer than anywhere else. Of course, those who have enough pockets, through

We are indeed not as good as those who make money by taking credit for rewards or deducting military pay. However, no official under the lord dares to do this. Since everyone is fair, we are naturally all afraid of it. But Yu Jin has never treated you like this? No one has ever had any mistakes? Besides, even himself was also Bao Xin's general? Now that he surrendered to Cao Gong, he is actually similar to you in essence, but he only smiles for fifty steps. How could he be so excessive?"

"Hehe, who said that?" Wu Dun quickly interrupted and said, "This Yu Jin was a crow falling on the pig's back. Just seeing others black, he was actually dark at night, but he boasted that he was so perfect and of high quality, but he regarded us as traitors. Who would be willing to be traitors? But if he didn't do this, all the brothers who followed us through life and death would die. In order to take into account the overall situation, we can only choose to surrender. We can't clearly know that we have to fight with an egg to touch a stone, right?"

Yin Li also hurriedly said, "Yes, that's right, it's true. We are not afraid of death, but we can't let so many brothers die together, so we can only choose to surrender..."
