Speaking of which, for the sake of it.

Zhao Yun actually basically believed it.

After all, as Cao Ang said, he only needs to go to Gongsun Zhan's territory to take a look, and there are some things that can be clearly understood.

Cao Ang's lying now is useless, it is just a temporary trick on him.

And a well-cultivated and generous character like Cao Ang doesn't need to make up such a lie in order to be fooled for a while.

Therefore, it is the opposite.

Most of this is true!

Come to think of this.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "When I was in the township, everyone said that Gongsun Bogui could win the battle, and if he could make meritorious contributions, he would definitely be able to achieve a career. ”

"But as everyone knows, in my opinion, compared with making meritorious contributions, he is still a benevolent and good man who loves the people like a son and can care for the people under his rule, which is more worthy of me to follow wholeheartedly and do my best to complement each other."

"General Gongsun has military and martial arts, but he does not have a benevolent heart to love others, as Gongzi said, it is really not the master he is looking for!"

Speaking of which.

Zhao Yun stood up with a "swish".

With his hands arched in front of him, the whole person bowed down, and then thanked Cao Ang earnestly.

"If it weren't for the guidance of Gongzi and telling me all this inside story, I'm afraid Yun would have gone to Nangong County and fallen into the fire pit!"

"Anyway, please bow to the clouds!"

How could Cao Ang accept this gift calmly.

Naturally, he hurriedly stood up, held Zhao Yun up with both hands, and said again and again.

"Zilong, it's serious!"

……

After the two of them sat down again.

Push the cup and change the lamp, between words and conversations.

The relationship has clearly gone to the next level.

In Zhao Yun's heart, Cao Ang was already a very close friend of his.

So after a few small drinks.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but pour out all the troubles in his heart to Cao Ang.

"Alas!"

First sighed.

frowned slightly, with a somewhat helpless look on his face, and his eyes were full of confusion, which was quite a bit sluggish.

Next to Zhao Yun, when Cao Ang's eyes came over, he complained to him.

"I don't want to stay in the state capital, Gongsun Jun is not a good place, I can't imagine that with the size of Jizhou, there is no place for me Zhao Yun!"

I heard that Zhao Yun was so emotional.

Cao Ang couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

After doing so much verbal guidance and foreshadowing, I finally pushed things to this point.

After killing Zhao Yun's mind to defect to Gongsun Zhan, the next thing to do should be to lead him to his own path.

Cao Ang immediately thought about it for a while.

He explained to Zhao Yun: "Zilong is from Zhending County, although he knows that all the forces in Jizhou want to merge and negotiate in Nangong County, but there must be one thing you don't know. ”

"That is, in the process of this negotiation, it is not only Han Fujun, General Gongsun and Yuan Taishou who are tripartite forces."

"In addition to the three of them, there is another person who was also invited to participate in this meeting, and I think this person is the best candidate worthy of Zilong to go to!"

……

"Oh?"

"There are such things, it's really unclear below, I don't know who Gongzi is talking about?"

Looking at the puzzled look on Zhao Yun's face, Cao Ang smiled imperceptibly.

Then he said lightly.

"The person I am talking about is the son of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, the current Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Ang Cao Zi is also!"

Zhao Yun was stunned at first.

Then, after a breath, he realized who Cao Ang was talking about, and Zhao Yun's eyes instantly lit up, and the whole person was in a lot of energy.

"The Cao Zixuan you are talking about, could it be that Cao Zixuan who defeated Lu Bulu Fengxian in Yanshi County and is known as invincible in the world?"

And after getting Cao Ang's nod yes reply.

Zhao Yun was visibly excited.

There was a look of excitement on his face for a while, and there was a posture of hearing the name of an idol.

"As far as I know, this General Cao Zixuan Cao is recognized by the world as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and the beam of the sea."

"In addition to defeating Lu Bu in Yanshi County, he also has the victory of breaking more than 60,000 Yellow Turban thieves with thousands of people, and capturing tens of thousands of people alive."

"Such a person is really a hero!"

Zhao Yun's words.

did not hesitate to praise Cao Ang.

For this world-famous General Cao, the words can be described as highly respectful and undisguised.

Just after such a compliment.

Zhao Yun suddenly remembered something.

Hurriedly asked Cao Ang: "Since General Cao is now holding the position of Taishou of Dongjun, how can he participate in the affairs of Jizhou?" ”

……

Listening to Zhao Yun's praise for him.

Cao Ang's heart was even more determined.

I didn't expect that I also had such a great reputation in Zhao Zilong's heart, and with these words of evidence, the success rate of my plan to recruit Zhao Yun today must be greatly increased.

Facing the doubts in Zhao Yun's heart.

Cao Ang immediately explained.

"As the Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Zixuan has indeed stayed in Puyang County in the past."

"It's just that some time ago, at the invitation of Jizhou Mu Han Fujun, he led his troops to the north and entered the Jizhou territory to participate in mediating the contradictions between the parties."

"And the general under his command has now been appointed as the Taishou of Wei County, so in the final analysis, this General Cao can be regarded as half of Jizhou."

As Cao Ang explained.

Zhao Yun was even more excited.

Earlier, he also thought that Cao Ang was from Dongjun, and even if he wanted to defect to him, there would be many inconveniences in the process.

But that's no longer the case.

Cao Ang has arrived in Jizhou, and his power under his name spans Jizhou and Yanzhou.

It's very convenient to run by yourself.

It's just that after these physical obstacles were removed, there was still one thing in Zhao Yun's heart, making it difficult for him to make a decision immediately.

……

After much hesitation.

Zhao Yuncai arched his hand to Cao Ang, and then said with some concern.

"General Gongsun, who is famous all over the world and powerful in all directions, also has a side that people don't know."

"I really don't know, what kind of person is this General Cao behind his back?"

"If it is another person who has great martial arts, but treats the people under his rule indifferently and ruthlessly, then it is better not to go than not to go."

Having said that, it has come to an end.

In fact, it has already entered the stage of playing meat.

This place is said to be perfect, and what Zhao Yun is said to be tempted, so as to get rid of all kinds of concerns, then it can basically be declared a success.

Therefore, after the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

Cao Ang depicted it meaningfully.

"Don't hide it from Zilong, I have been to the land of Dongjun, and its county governs Puyang County, and I have lived there for a long time, and I have seen some things with my own eyes."

"Since beating this General Cao and taking up the post of Taishou of Dongjun, he has actively cracked down on bandits in the territory, led the people to reclaim farmland, and even brought tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to implement the military cantonment system."

"In just a few months after his arrival, the entire eastern county has taken on a new look, the county is too peaceful and stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, at least in the various cities in the county, there are absolutely no displaced people."

"Even people who travel hundreds of miles have to come to Dongjun to do business, just because Dongjun is properly governed and the territory is stable."

"Based on that alone, what do you think of General Cao?"

……

What else?

Didn't you see Zhao Yun at this moment, did he already look like a brilliant look in his eyes?

The magnificent scene depicted by Cao Ang really attracted him a little, and he was fascinated by it, and he couldn't wait to fly to Puyang County now and see it with his own eyes.

Just do what you say.

Zhao Yun immediately said to Cao Ang: "If it is really as you said, then this Cao Zixuan is really a master, and it is worth going to the next place." ”

"I don't know if you know, Childe, where this General Cao is now, or if you have a way, can you introduce you to him?"

Hear that.

Cao Ang showed a sunny and cheerful smile.

Then he shook his head at Zhao Yun.

Before Zhao Yun could be disappointed by Cao Ang's reply, he pointed his finger at himself.

Then he said happily.

"Far away, close at hand."

"Don't dare to hide it, my surname is Cao Mingang, and the words are good, and now it is the Taishou of Dongjun!"

Zhao Yun: "??? ”

……

Zhao Yun was stunned!

The boss with both eyes stared, and his mouth was a little unclosing, obviously full of horror in his heart.

He was directly manipulated by Cao Ang like this, and he was a little confused, confused, and was stunned on the spot.

Can you still play like this?

You have just painted so many beautiful scenes for me, and you have been praising yourself for a long time!

It's no wonder that when he reported his name before, this son didn't say a word, it turned out that he was waiting for us.

What a ...... That's a ......

The master is by my side!

Just when Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart, he didn't know what to say.

I saw Cao Ang suddenly stand up.

While bowing to him, he said earnestly: "As I said before, today I and Zilong hit it off at first sight, and I feel like I have a lifelong confidant. ”

"I look at Zilong's words and deeds, it is true that he is like-minded with me, and now I sincerely solicit it, I wonder if Zilong is willing to enter my account and serve me?"

Cao Ang issued a blunt invitation.

In an instant, Zhao Yun's retreat was blocked.

Let's be honest.

If Zhao Yun is given a certain amount of time, let him personally go to Dongjun to see the situation and understand the living conditions of the people under Cao Ang's rule.

At that time, Cao Ang extended an olive branch to him again, then he would definitely agree without hesitation.

It's a pity that Cao Ang doesn't have so much time at the moment.

I don't decide to settle down today.

There are too many variables going forward.

Therefore, after some foreshadowing, you can only choose to hit a straight ball.

……

After hesitating for a long time.

Zhao Yun did not choose to agree.

but he appealed to the doubts in his heart.

"General Cao, please forgive me for being blunt, why did you hide your identity before?"

Cao Ang pretended to smile helplessly.

Then he brought out the rhetoric that he had prepared earlier.

"It's not that I deliberately concealed my identity, but I really didn't find a suitable opportunity to say it."

"After all, I took the initiative to invite Zilong to come up and drink together, and said so many things inappropriate about General Gongsun, if I show my identity again at that time, wouldn't it seem that I have ulterior motives?"

Hearing is such a reason.

Zhao Yun suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"General Cao is really worried, you are a heroic person who moves the world, and you are just an unknown person below."

"It's an honor for you to appreciate me, and how dare you say anything with ulterior motives."

"It's just that since you are General Cao, are the many magnificent scenes in Dongjun you described earlier telling the truth or false?"

This is the biggest concern in Zhao Yun's heart.

After all, boast about yourself.

I am afraid that the credibility of such words and their content will be marked with a question mark.

……

accompanied by Zhao Yun's slight doubts.

Cao Ang turned to face the window of the private room, looking out the window at Gaoyi County, which looked a little dilapidated compared to Puyang County.

Then his right hand clenched into a fist.

Then he swung down heavily.

"Although what I said earlier is a suspicion of boasting, how the people of Dongjun are living is a fact that words alone cannot deceive."

"If I'm telling a lie, then I just need to go to Dongjun and see it with my own eyes, and then I can debunk it."

"Can you deceive for a while, can you deceive for a lifetime?"

"If Zilong surrenders to me today, and when you return to Dongjun with me in the future, what you see is different from what I said, then you can leave on the spot, or even point at my nose and scold, I will not obstruct it!"

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang turned around.

stared at Zhao Yun with blazing eyes, and then said word by word, in an impassioned voice.

"Don't hide it from Zilong, since I took office as the Taishou of Dongjun, I have a clear conscience, and I am worthy of the people in Dongjun."

"It's not just a county in the East County, my life's wish is that all the people in the world can live and work in peace and enjoy peace."

"It's the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the people all over the world can eat well, wear clothes, don't have to fear the robbery of bandits, don't worry about the oppression of the government, that's all!"

"And if you want to do this, it is absolutely not enough for me alone, so I need Zilong, and more talents like you, to help me and achieve great things!"

……

The inflammatory nature of this statement is too strong.

Even Zhao Yun was still suspicious just now.

It was gone in an instant.

Instead, he was full of enthusiasm and excitement in his chest, Cao Ang's grand ambition was not his lifelong wish?

If you can make the world, which has now fallen into a state of turmoil, return to peace, you can let the people be well fed and clothed.

You don't have to go through the same miserable life as you are now.

Isn't this what he Zhao is looking for?

As for Cao Ang's concealment of his identity and boasting of himself, now in Zhao Yun's place, it is no longer a matter at all.

General Cao is a loyal and honest person.

Such an open-minded, broad-minded, and heroic person, can he tell lies?

As the saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid family hatred.

You can't just say something humble because you're talking about yourself, and you can't say shortcomings even if you don't have shortcomings, right?

Good is good, bad is bad.

What's wrong?

General Cao governed Dongjun so well, and ruled the people with a good life, and he didn't let people talk about it? !

……

Come to think of it.

Zhao Yun also bowed to Cao Ang.

Then he said sincerely.

"The general's grand ambition is exactly what Yun has wanted all his life, thanks to the general's unabandonment and sincerity."

"I have to be with you today, and I am very comforted in my life, although I am willing!"

Hear that.

Cao Ang was overjoyed.

immediately exchanged respects with Zhao Yun.

Then he helped him up, patted Zhao Yun's arm one after another, and nodded his head in praise again and again.

"I have Zilong, it's really dry and rainy!"

So far.

Zhao Yun officially joined Cao Ang's command.

Cao's Group has added another fierce general.

As for Liu Bei's side......

That buddy was quite miserable at first, and it was the same with or without Zhao Yun.

It's none of my business!

After leaving the wine house, Cao Ang temporarily arranged Zhao Yun in the military camp, and together with the hundreds of village youths he had brought with him, they were also merged into the army led by Zhang Liao.

And Zhao Yun saw with his own eyes that in the army led by Cao Ang, the soldiers were all in good spirits, and their morale was high.

And even the food in the army on weekdays can be regarded as a little bit of oil and water.

In my heart, I was concerned about what Cao Ang said.

Naturally, it is a little more believing.

……

Early the next morning.

After doing some mobilization.

Han Fu and Cao Ang immediately led their troops from Gaoyi County and went straight to Nangong County, which was located in the southwest, in Anping, and one hundred and fifty miles away.

It's just because of the previous agreement with Han Fu.

After the two sides put it all together.

The decision was not to be put together.

They marched together one after the other.

In this way, in front of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, they can be somewhat confused.

Due to the large number of troops on both sides combined, the speed of action was also much slower.

It took six days to arrive at the outskirts of Nangong County.

And when Cao Ang and the others arrived.

The forces of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are already in the north of Nangong County, as well as in the east of the city, and they have set up camp in each other, and they have one side.

Several forces, without exception, all chose not to enter Nangong County.

What I'm afraid of is that if there is an ambush in the city, it will become a turtle in an urn.

Or once you encounter any situation, you will be trapped in Nangong County, and it will be difficult to respond in time.

Therefore, they were stationed outside the city.

The Quartet forces occupy three directions, all separated by a certain distance from each other, which can be regarded as a sign of being vigilant and defensive against each other.

And on the night of arrival.

Cao Ang led Dian Wei and a group of guards to quietly come to Yuan Shao's camp.
