"It turns out that he knew who Hu Zhen was, and he had already made relevant arrangements. It seems that I underestimated him and did not really understand him." After hearing Pei Qing's explanation to Zang Ba, Xu Rong then realized Pei Qing's plan. Now Pei Qing did not hide his secret from him, which shows that he did not regard himself as an outsider, which made Xu Rong both ashamed and moved.

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, the last general had some prejudice against Grandmaster before..."

Xu Rong took the initiative to apologize without waiting for Pei Qing to say anything.

However, Pei Qing immediately interrupted his words and waved his hand and said, "General Xu, don't say much. I know that General Xu is also loyal to the emperor and the country. Our purpose is the same. At this time, how can I not believe in such a loyal and kind person as you?"

"Thank you, the last general, the last general..."

"Okay, General Xu, next we should pay close attention to Tokyo outside the city. Of course, we cannot relax our vigilance against Xinfeng City at any time. Hu Zhen's problem was brought by me, and I will find a way to solve it. However, the defense of the city will be left to the general. Please be sure to guard against it and not relax at any time. Only when we work together can we complete this impossible mission."

Pei Qing said very sincerely. After hearing this, Xu Rong was also in awe and warm-blooded manner. He said to Pei Qing in a deep voice: "No, don't worry, the Grand Commander, I vow to live and die with Xinfeng City. As long as the General of the General is still standing here, the bandits will not be allowed to step onto the city!"

At this moment, the proud Hu Zhen certainly didn't know what Pei Qing and the others were talking. He was thinking about how to contact the Xiliang army to successfully surrender, and to trick Pei Qing into another trick.

As for Zang Ba, he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, this person only had three thousand people under his command, and it seemed to be a miscellaneous army, so it was not worth worrying about.

So Hu Zhen did not wait for Zang Ba to lead his troops out of the city, then set up camp and waited for the opportunity to surrender to the Xiliang army.

For him, surrender is inevitable, but he has to find a way to win the greatest benefit for himself.

Therefore, after Zang Ba led his army, he arranged Zang Ba's army as the chief general to the rear of his camp. On the surface, it was said that Zang Ba's number was relatively small, which was conducive to protecting them, but in fact it was convenient for his army to leave.

However, how could Zang Ba not know Hu Zhen’s thoughts? He pretended to obey his orders with gratitude, but in fact he had already sent his spies to pay close attention to the other party’s movements.

However, even so, he would have been delayed in getting the news. It would be difficult to react immediately when he received the news. In order to avoid delaying the matter, Zang Ba decided to invade the enemy and pretend to surrender with Hu Zhen to deceive Hu Zhen's trust. In this way, he would be able to grasp Hu Zhen's situation at any time, and the reaction would naturally be more timely.

So on the night he entered the camp, Zang Ba took the initiative to host a banquet to entertain Hu Zhen.

In fact, Hu Zhen was unwilling to go, but the other party invited him warmly, so he couldn't refuse. Besides, after some consideration, Hu Zhen felt that it was a bit of a big deal to just cheat Zang Ba's army. If Pei Qing could be cheated, the best result would be, so he decided to explore Zang Ba's bottom. If the other party had a surrender together, it would be better. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing him first and then plotting against Pei Qing.

So Hu Zhen hesitated for a moment and agreed.

After coming to Zang Ba's tent, both sides exchanged cups. After a while, Hu Zhen found that Zang Ba was 70 to 80% drunk, so he spoke and tentatively: "Brother Xuan Gao, why did you come to Chang'an to wade into the muddy waters? But I shouldn't say anything, the Xiliang army has more than 100,000 people, and the money is extremely fierce. With our old, weak, sick and disabled, we are no match for them at all."

Zang Ba suddenly said seriously after hearing this: "General Hu, what do you mean? It is natural for us to eat the king's fortune and share the worries for the king. No matter how brave the Xiliang army is, we only need to do our duty. At most, we can learn from Ma Fubo, Ma Liang's body, and die on the battlefield. This is also the destination of our soldiers."

Hu Zhen suddenly sighed after hearing this, "Yes, I don't know what you said? But the key is, are we really sharing the worries for the king? In fact, we are just sharing the worries for Wang Yun and Lu Bu, especially Wang Yun. Even if we try our best to die in the battlefield, there is no hope of victory at all. Even if a miracle really happens, we will win. In the end, let alone let Wang Yun be powerful and blessed in the court? Can the emperor really make the decision? So on the surface, we are just working hard for the emperor, but in fact we are just working hard for Wang Yun. If he can value us, we will be considered a soldier and a confidant. But Old Wang Yun didn't take us seriously at all. If this is the case, wouldn't we die very unfairly?"

Zang Ba was silent after hearing this. He thought for a long time and finally sighed: "General Hu understood what he said, but what can we do? With the current situation, even if we escape, we can't escape. It's better to fight the enemy to the death. Perhaps we can still have a glimmer of life in this way."

"Hehe, don't think about vitality or something. Brother, think about it. Now that the Xiliang army has an absolute advantage, we have no chance of winning at all, so where can we have any vitality? Sometimes the fish dies, but the net may not be broken."

"What should we do?" Zang Ba smiled bitterly and murmured: "Are we just waiting to die like this?"

"That's not necessarily true. There is actually a way to avoid disaster." Hu Zhen wanted to say something, and then sighed: "Forget it, this idea is too difficult, so let's not talk about it. Anyway, you were planning to sacrifice your life for the country, and it's useless to know."

"No, Brother Hu, I'm going to hide it. Those words I said before were just jokes. Who is not afraid of death? Who is still a hero? If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly. At worst, the idea you said doesn't work. What else can you do?" Zang Ba said to Hu Zhen with a look of begging KFC, "If Brother Hu can find a way to help me escape this disaster, I will definitely be deeply grateful for Brother Hu's kindness and will never dare to forget it in my life."

"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will say it, but we have made an agreement in advance, and even if I say something wrong, you can't make me a name. Even if you really sue me, I will never admit it."

"Brother Hu, don't worry, you can't give me kindness, and then I will go out to you ruthlessly? At most, it's just a matter of not hearing it."

"Since that's the case, then I'm fine. I'm actually a sudden idea. I don't know whether it's feasible. So I'll take it out for you to study it. In my opinion, we might as well go to the Western Liang army. Now that the Western Liang army is powerful, we will definitely be able to successfully capture Chang'an. At that time, the emperor is in the hands of the Western Liang army. Wouldn't you be any official? Isn't it much better than being an ordinary general under Tao Qian's command? Anyway, they are just imitating Taishi Dong at most, so you and I are actually working for the court. What's the difference?"

"Brother Hu, what you said makes sense, but I don't know Xiliang Army. How could they believe that I am a true partner?" Zang Ba shook his head and said with a bitter face.
