Chapter 379 – Cracks Among Yuan Shao's Sons

June 1st, 190 A.D.

Qiao Army of Cao Cao attacked Xiaopei County, which was defended by Zang Ba and Cao Bao of Yuan Shao.

Zang Ba and Cao Bao were once a subordinate of Tao Qian, and they were a part of Mi Zhu's faction. As they had been coaxed by Guo Jia beforehand, both of them opened the city gates and surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's initial 30,000 soldiers increased to 45,000, but he was not satisfied.

Inside Xiaopei government hall, Cao Cao met with all former subordinates of Tao Qian.

Zang Ba and Cao Bao were the only generals in this city. Each commanded an army of 7,500 men, which had been transferred to Cao Cao's main force.

Wang Lang, a minor official, also served here.
