Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, strictly speaking, were not the core figures of Lü Bu's power.
Especially Zang Ba, who was also a small warlord on the side of the hegemon, also fought with Lü Bu, and later submitted to Lü Bu.
Therefore, neither Zhang Liao nor Zang Ba had the consciousness and determination to coexist and die with Lü Bu.
Therefore, when Lü Bu's soldiers were defeated and captured, both of them took the initiative to lead their troops to surrender to Cao Cao.
When Zhang Liao arrived, cao cao consulted Liu Bei, and Lü Bu wanted to surrender.
Liu Bei responded that Ming Gong did not see Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao understood this and ordered to be pulled down and strangled to death, Lü Bu was so angry that he scolded Liu Bei for "big ears", Zhang Liao saw the old leader's bear-like appearance, and reprimanded, Lü Bupifu, if he dies, he will die with dead ears, why be afraid?
Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao, seemed to be familiar, and asked: "This person is a bit good-looking"?
Zhang Liao responded, forgetting the encounter in Puyang City?
Cao Cao remembered the Dianwei who was desperately trying to save himself, just like today's people are separated, a little sad.
Zhang Liao went on to say that he only hated that the fire was not big that day, and did not burn you a thief of this country!
Compared with Zhang Liao, Zang Ba was one level higher.
He engaged in Tao Qian in the early days, and later recruited troops in Xuzhou, gathering soldiers with Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others, and since then he has become a hegemon.
In Xuzhou, Zang Ba's network of relations is very deep, even if Tao Qian, the main lord of Xuzhou, has no way to take him.
Later, Lü Bu proposed to lead Xuzhou, and Zang Ba, because of the attack on Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, was unevenly divided with Lü Bu.
Further, the soldiers fought against each other, and Lü Bu led a heavy army to besiege Zang Ba and others, but the result was fruitless.
Cao Cao left Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, but why couldn't he tolerate Gao Shun?
Because Gao Shun was too principled, he was a soldier with true faith and backbone.
Such a man cannot be retained, and there is no word surrender in his mind, and he would rather die than renege on his principles and live in humiliation.
