It's just that Cao Ang said modestly: "Where, where, my uncle and grandson are not unclear." ”

"Hehe, virtuous nephew, don't be presumptuous, even I'm afraid I'm not as good as you." Sun Jian continued.

Cao Ang didn't even dare to say that Sun Jian's eyes flashed with mortal danger, while Cao Ang pretended not to be aware.

Sun Jian smiled and patted Cao Ang's shoulder and said, "Virtuous nephew, do you know why I came here?" ”

"Uncle Sun, my nephew doesn't know, please let Uncle Sun make it clear." Cao Ang pretended not to understand and said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, I want to join forces with you to go to Xiangyang." Sun Jian said with a smile.

"Joint expedition to Xiangyang?" Cao Ang's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect Sun Jian to make such a request.

Sun Jian said with a smile: "That's right, it's a joint army to Xiangyang." I know what you're worried about, don't worry, Xiangyang is not like Xuzhou.

There are very few warriors in Xiangyang, so I will mobilize the elite of Jiangdong to assist you in conquering Xiangyang.

As for the grain and grass, you can rest assured, I will collect grain from the counties and send it over to ensure that you have enough grain and grass. And all you need to do is to cooperate with me to defeat Liu Biao, and then capture Xiangyang. ”

Cao Ang pondered for a moment and then said, "Uncle Sun, I can take the liberty of asking, why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”

Sun Jian laughed: "Virtuous nephew, when the time comes, after conquering Jingzhou, wouldn't it be beautiful for half of us?" ”

Cao Ang's eyes rolled a few times, and then said, "If Uncle Sun agrees, my nephew naturally has no objection, but my nephew hopes that my uncle can agree to a condition for me." ”

"On what terms?" Sun Jian wondered.

"After conquering Xiangyang, can Uncle Sun hand over Xiangyang to his nephew to take care of?" Cao Ang said with a smile.

Sun Jian's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't expect Cao Ang's question to be so sharp.

"Are you trying to blackmail me by doing this?" Sun Jian suddenly asked rhetorically.

Cao Ang smiled: "Uncle Sun is serious, my nephew is not that kind of person.

It's just that since it's cooperation, it's better to negotiate some conditions.

The nephew wants his uncle to promise that if I can capture Xiangyang, then everything in Xiangyang will be under my control.

And if the uncle believes in the nephew, the nephew dares to guarantee that after the capture of Xiangyang, the uncle will not only be able to get the support of the people of Xiangyang, but even take the opportunity to control the entire Jingzhou. ”

Cao Ang continued to lure, and he didn't believe that Sun Jian could refuse this bait, unless Sun Jian didn't want the wealth of Jingzhou.

After all, Sun Jian is not an ordinary person, he is Sun Ce's elder and the lord of Jiangdong, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, Cao Ang saw through the other party's ambitions at a glance.

Sun Jian was silent, he was a little unsure of Cao Ang's details.

"How can you guarantee that after conquering Xiangyang, you won't attack my Sun clan." Sun Jian stared at Cao Ang and asked tentatively.

Cao Ang smiled and said: "Uncle Sun is too worried, after conquering Xiangyang, you and I are allies, so how can we betray it?" ”

"Besides, if the uncle thinks that the nephew does not have the strength to capture Xiangyang, he will leave now, and the nephew will never force it."

With that, Cao Ang arched his hand and left.

And Sun Jian, who stayed in place, fell into a tangle.

The conditions that Cao Ang just threw out are indeed very attractive, but at the same time, they are also very dangerous, and if they are not careful, they may end up in the end of death.

And Cao Ang's words also made Sun Jian hesitate.

"That's it, let's see the situation first!" In the end, Sun Jian decided to take one step at a time.

But he felt that he couldn't see through this Cao Ang son more and more.

The next day, Cao Ang continued to sit in the army outside the city, and he was very curious about why Liu Biao in Xiangyang City had not moved since the last attack.

"Childe, someone wants to see you." At this time, Xiahou Yuan walked in, and he said to Cao Ang.

"Who?" Cao Ang asked with a frown.

Xiahou Yuan's expression was a little excited, as if he had encountered some happy event: "Son, please look!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang took it and looked at it, and found that it was written very clearly, as long as Cao Ang was willing to send troops to help, all conditions could be negotiated.

Cao Ang smiled, then waved his hand and said, "It's that Liu Cong who wants to see me, he's really persistent." ”

"Childe is really wise." Xiahou Yuan patted his ass.

"In that case, I'll go see him." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he stood up.

"Childe, don't you think about it? What if the enemy sets up an ambush in the shadows? Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked.

"It doesn't matter." Cao Ang waved his hand, he was confident.

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he no longer dissuaded him, and he followed Cao Ang and protected him as he went outside the camp.

Since Liu Cong was secretly out of the city, he did not bring his guards, but came to the outside of Xiangyang City alone, ready to negotiate with Cao Ang.

Cao Ang rode his horse and led dozens of guards to a place about 100 meters away from Liu Cong and stopped.

He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Cong, this Liu Cong should be in his twenties, wearing brocade clothes, handsome appearance, looking polite, like a scholar.

But he knew that this Liu Cong was a typical straw bale, otherwise he would not have escaped from the battle at the beginning, which eventually led to the current situation.

For such a person, Cao Ang didn't need to bother at all, because he knew that the easiest way to deal with such a person was to crush it with strength.

"You're Cao Ang?" Liu Cong asked first.

Cao Ang bowed slightly: "That's right, it's down." ”

Hearing Cao Ang's admission, a smile appeared on Liu Cong's face, and he said.

"I am Liu Cong, the son of Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou, I hope that General Cao can help me regain the power of Jingzhou, and I will thank you again in the future!"

Cao Ang smiled indifferently: "General Liu is too polite, General Liu has personally committed himself to come to ask for help, if he stands by and watches, won't it make the world laugh." ”

"Then is General Cao willing to send troops to Xiangyang City?" Liu Cong asked, his words were very direct, as if he was afraid that Cao Ang would regret it.

"Of course!" Cao Ang replied without hesitation: "Since General Liu sincerely invited, how could X refuse." ”

"Hahaha...."Liu Cong couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly after hearing this.

"General Cao is really happy!" As soon as Liu Cong was about to continue speaking, he heard Cao Ang's voice coming: "This is not the place to speak, General Liu, please!" ”

Liu Cong was stunned, he felt as if he had been tricked.

But soon he calmed down again, Cao Ang must have been pretending, he didn't believe that the other party dared to leave him in front of everyone.

"Good!" Liu Cong responded and took the lead in walking forward.

Cao Ang looked at Liu Cong's back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an evil smile.

Liu Cong came to Cao Ang's large army camp, and he went all the way unimpeded, and he did not encounter the slightest danger at all.
