Xu Huang's submission surprised Yuan Shang very much, since he was captured by Ma Chao, he has always held a dead face, and he will never admit defeat and consume Yuan Shang, saying that he will not surrender to his heart.

And since Yuan Shang pacified the Central Plains, he has a lot of things to do, and he has a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he has never taken care of this good general in the prison, but has put him aside.

But who would have thought that this time, under Gan Ning's persuasion, Xu Huang actually took the initiative to surrender, which was a little surprising.

However, what Gan Ning said was not scored, and Yuan Shang felt that he had to ask it himself.

"Where is Xu Huang now?" Yuan Shang touched his chin and said in a low voice.

Gan Ning Ha Luha smiled and said, "Just wait outside the house." ”

Yuan Shang beckoned and said, "Since that's the case, then let him in." ”

Gan Ning heard the order and went, and when he was young, he led a man with an elegant appearance and a green shirt into the hall, and the person who came was none other than Xu Huang, one of the five good generals surnamed Cao Jun.

Although he squatted in the prison for a while, he still looked good at Xu Huang's complexion, which may also be Yuan Jun's good food, but in the end, it was Xu Huang's identity that he wanted, after all, this person was the key target of the lord's recruitment, and although he was a prisoner, he still did not treat him lightly.

The prison guards did not say anything about Xu Huang's delicious food and drink, and there were special prison guards who brought him water and hot baths every day, kneading and kneading, and sent a set of full health care.

In fact, to be honest, although Xu Huang is loyal to the Cao family, he is not a fool, and he also understands the truth of the general trend, even better than ordinary people.

And Xu Huang's martial arts and martial arts are excellent in the world, if he dies like this, if others don't say it, he himself feels that it is not worth it.

If the Cao clan had not surrendered. Xu Huang should have done his best for the Cao clan and did his best to fulfill his ministers' festivals, although he died without resentment, but now even the entire Cao clan, including the Xun clan, has surrendered to Yuan Shang, and he is still here to be loyal to the festival. The Cao family itself doesn't want to die, who is he going to die or live here?

But the reason why he is so stubborn now is not for anything else...... To put it bluntly, it's because of Yuan Shang.

Compared to Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and other Cao generals. Xu Huang ate a lot under Yuan Shang's hands, but it didn't mean that he hadn't eaten!

For Yuan Shang's methods and shamelessness, Xu Huang can be regarded as quite knowledgeable, if the generals of the Cao family are organized to do a survey together, everyone writes about Yuan Shang's slut methods, Xu Huang can write less than 10,000 words, and it is estimated that he can make up to 8,000.

Therefore, every time he thought of taking refuge under this person, Xu Huang panicked in his heart. I can't say what it is, in short, it's a diaphragm.

Therefore, the matter of Xu Huang's return to obedience has been delayed.

It wasn't until Gan Ning went to the prison to see Xu Huang that things took a slight turn.

If you want to say that Gan Ning went to see Xu Huang, it was because he wanted to recruit talents for Yuan Shang. That's a big mistake, he is purely idle and has no fart to find Xu Huang to tease the shell.

When Gan Ning defected to Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang once inadvertently said a famous sentence of Sun Quan in his previous life to everyone.

"Meng De has Zhang Liao, and a certain has Gan Xingba. That's more than enough! ”

Since Yuan Shang had this sentence at that time, Gan Ning has always wanted to meet that Zhang Liao, and later in the Battle of Xuzhou. He really saw it, and after Zhang Liao returned to Shun, Gan Ning also had Zhang Liao in private to try martial arts, and talked about the art of war and tactics, Zhang Liao's skills and unique grasp of the battlefield made Gan Ning feel very admired.

Gan Ning highly respected Zhang Liao and praised him as the first good general in the Central Plains, but he received a humble answer from Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao said to Gan Ning: "This ability is not the first in the Central Plains, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming are worthy of this title." ”

Zhang Liao admired Xu Huang, which was also humble, and he didn't want Gan Ning to have a very good memory, so he actually remembered this matter firmly.

So, he began to think about Xu Huang again.

After Xu Huang was captured by Ma Chaosheng, Gan Ning ran to the prison without any trouble, saying that he wanted to learn from Xu Huang, forgive Xu Huang's character, although he was a prisoner, but he was also arrogant, and he was not afraid of him, so he responded to Gan Ning's various challenges at the moment, the two tried their fists and feet in prison, and discussed the art of war.

Xu Huang was also very impressed with the skill of the thief leader who was full of swearing, and later in the conversation, he learned about Gan Ning's origin, and knew that he was originally a water coward of the Yangtze River, and he had to be hired by Yuan Shang privately and sincerely hired by Jingzhou before he entered the office.

In this way, Xu Huang's prejudice against Yuan Shang has changed slightly, imagine that even if Gan Ning is very skilled, with the family of Yuan Shang's fifth and third dukes, he is actually willing to accept him as a general, and he is indeed a meritocracy, not as ordinary people.

In this way, under the persuasion of Gan Ning to visit the prison several times, Xu Huang agreed to try to talk to Yuan Shang.

…………

…………

"In Xia Xu Huang, I have seen the general." Xu Huang was not salty or light, and asked casually, not calling Yuan Shang an official position in the court, nor calling Yuan Shang the lord, just using the word 'general' as the title, which shows that he still has a little disgust in his heart.

What kind of person is Yuan Shang? After so many years, the hair is empty, and the Mingzun in Xu Huang's words is really sparse, how can he not hear it.

Sure enough, relying on Gan Ning, a barbarian, wanted to recover this good general, but it was tantamount to an idiot's dream.

"Sit down."

Yuan Shang casually raised his hand and pointed to the collapse of the seat on the side of the hall.

Xu Huang stood stubbornly, shook his head and said: "The general is noble, Huang is just a prisoner under the first order, how dare he sit with the general." ”

Yuan Shang rubbed his chin when he heard this, and said happily: "The one sitting in front of you today is not a great general, and you are not a prisoner, let's just sit down quietly and talk about it like two old people, what do you think?" ”

Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Although there are many meetings between you and me, there is no friendship, but it is inappropriate to call it like this, right?" ”

Yuan Shangzheng said: "Therefore, I used the word old man, not a friend." ”

Xu Huang groaned for a moment, then threw off his robe and sat quietly on Yuan Shang's side.

"In my memory, our first meeting. It should be in the black nest, right? Yuan Shang said with a smile.

Xu Huang touched the three locks of long beard and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"At that time, General Xu Huangxu was in the prime of life, he was really majestic and invincible, and at first glance, he felt that he was a good general, which was very enviable."

Xu Huang glanced at Yuan Shang and said unceremoniously: "At that time, Yuan Shang was young and treacherous and cunning. Insidious and vicious, a cold arrow shot straight at Xu Chu's buttocks, but he didn't dare to forget it. ”

Yuan Shang: "............"

After a long silence.

"General Komeito has a prejudice against me?"

Xu Huang looked directly at Yuan Shang and said, "Shouldn't I have prejudices against you?" ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xu Huang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What is it for?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Your prejudice against me is just because I am unscrupulous and do things insidiously, but dare to ask General Xu, today." Who is not ruthless or insidious in his actions? ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang paused. said: "Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that the two masters you once served, first Yang Feng, was under Li Dao back then." Only because of the dissatisfaction with the reward, he cooperated with Song Guo to rebel, and later defected to Yuan Shu, and was killed by Liu Bei for disturbing the people. Isn't what he does insidious, not a villain? ”

"Let's talk about Cao Cao, the traitorous male in the world should be Meng De the most! The means of coercing the Han Emperor belong to him, and he would rather let me bear the people of the world, Hugh let the people of the world bear me as ruthless, the head of the hair cutting right belongs to him as a traitor, and Wangmei quenches his thirst as a deceit, try to ask General Gongming...... Could it be that compared to your two old masters, what I Yuan Shang did was really so unforgivable? Not necessarily, right? ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was silent and didn't say anything.

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, what you say is treacherous and cunning, but just because you have been calculated by me and have nowhere to vent, this is not a prejudice, but a kind of resentment, but I like this kind of resentment, the more stubbornly you resent me, the more it can show that I am the real winner!" ”

Xu Huang opened his mouth when he heard this, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said: "If the general is unwilling to be a general in our army, I am not reluctant, but I am now lacking a guard under my account, if the general is interested, he can temporarily fill this position, after all, the general still needs to support his family, and it is inappropriate to be idle at home, especially when I heard that the general has a son and a daughter under his knees, the general can starve himself, but he can't starve the child, right?" ”

Xu Huang was stubborn for a moment when he heard this, but finally sighed and nodded.

After all, the arms can't hold the thighs, and since there is no meaning for the dead festival, there are some things that should be let go.

Sima Yi was behind Yuan Shang, and when he heard this, he had a whim, and said: "Lord, I heard that the daughter of General Xu's knee has never been out of the cabinet, both beautiful and virtuous, Yuan Mai, the brother of the lord, has never married, today in front of the two families, I might as well be a matchmaker, for General Xu's daughter and Yuan Mai to pull a line, Yuan and Xu's two families are close to Qin Jin, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he knew what Sima Yi meant.

Since ancient times, the Latin gangs have formed factions, formed parties for personal gain, and won the hearts of the people. In addition to using money and official positions as bait, marriage is also a very common way, after all, two families formed by men and women to form a family of children and daughters, even if it is a relationship of relatives, it is equivalent to being tied to a boat, and if there is a turn of face in the future, it will not kill his own in-laws or brother-in-law, right? That's too inhumane.

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and felt that according to Xu Huang's character, the girl educated should not be wrong, and then said, "What does General Xu think of Zhongda's proposal?" ”

Xu Huang frowned, thought for a moment and said: "General, it's not that I, Xu Huang, am hypocritical, it's just that the reputation of your younger brother Yuan Mai is really not very good, although the identity of the Xu family is not as good as the Yuan family, but I will not push my daughter into the fire pit." ”

Xu Huang said no, Yuan Shang doesn't care, after all, he still has a gap in his heart now, and he has never belonged to him, how can he marry you so easily.

But Xu Huang was unwilling, but he could talk about his brother's virtue, and at this moment, Yuan Shang was a little unhappy.

Although what Xu Huang said is also a fact, what kind of bullshit virtue his brother is Yuan Shang also knows, but only when he finds it, what does others say?

My own brother, it doesn't matter how you cut it behind closed doors, others can't!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but get angry.

"General Xu, I don't want to listen to you like that, what do you mean by pushing your daughter into the fire pit? I want my brother, to look good, to have quality, not to mention both civil and military, the most rare thing is to advocate benevolence and righteousness! He is the prince charming and dream lover of all the girls in Hebei, and I don't agree to how many girls from famous families want to come to him as concubines! How did you get infamous when you came here? ”

Xu Huang grinned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that Yuan Shang's face was really thicker, how smelly Yuan Mai's reputation was, and it wasn't what he Xu Huang said alone, why did it turn black and white upside down in Yuan Shang's mouth, and there was no distinction between right and wrong?

"General Yuan, don't blame it, it's just that Brother Ling's name is really not very good, and the twisted melon is not sweet......"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "General Xu, most of the things that are hearsay are false, how can you believe the rumors in the market?" Have you seen my brother? Don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it......"

"Report!"

Yuan Shang was talking, but saw a guard hurriedly come to the outside of the hall, and said to Yuan Shang: "Lord, the big thing is not good!" The bluestone street in the west of Xuchang City is on fire! The fire is very big! Also go to the main public to quickly dispatch troops to put out the fire! ”

"There is a fire in the west street of the city?" Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What's the matter?" Who did this to you? ”

The guard swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "It's the fourth prince Yuan who buys ......."

“…………”

Hearing this, Xu Huang's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and Yuan Shang stumbled and almost fell to the ground from his seat, but fortunately, Sima Yi supported him in time and comforted him again and again.

"Yuan ...... Yuan buys? There's something wrong with him! What are you doing by setting fire to the streets? ”

The guard said cautiously: "The Qingshi Street in the west of the city is a gathering place for local brothels/houses and Qinglou, the fourth prince and Deng Ai and Jiang Wei just arrived in Xuchang today, and they wanted to go there to observe the people's feelings, but they looked at the Qinglou girls on that street who were not satisfactory, either three catties or two taels, or they had pimples on their faces, or clowns with big noses and eyes. Are you embarrassed to go out of the mountains to be a prostitute? So the celebrities lit all the kilns/children on Qingshi Street to comfort Confucius's spirit in the sky......"

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, his fists clenched, and his teeth chattered.

Xu Huang on the side glanced at him gently, then picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of "hiss", which was very pleasant.

After a long time, but seeing Yuan Shangchang sighing, he said helplessly: "General Xu is right, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I will forget about getting married." ”

"The general's words are very good."

"............" (To be continued......)
