Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

After Gongsun Kang was taken away, Cao Ang asked Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lead the army to repair, leaving only Zhao Yun behind.

After Zhao Yun saw Cao Ang leaving him behind, he curiously asked: "Young General, you asked Wen Hou and Wen Yuan to lead people to repair it, but you only left me, but you have a task for me?"

Cao Ang smiled and nodded when he heard this and said, "Yes, I do have someone here who wants to give it to you. Of course, I think only you can complete this task."

"Major General, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Even if I have to go up a mountain of swords and into a sea of ​​fire, I will make sure to complete it!" Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Cao Ang and made a sworn promise.

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's not that serious. I'm not willing to let my beloved generals go up the mountain of knives and into the sea of ​​fire."

Zhao Yun laughed when he heard this.

Cao Ang continued to talk to Zhao Yun about business.

"It's like this. At present, the Yuan Group has been completely destroyed, Gongsun Kang has also been captured alive, and the only prince left in the two counties of Liaodong is Gongsun Zan."

"According to Gongsun Kang's words and the news sent back by the scouts, Gongsun Zan is now hiding in the territory of the Wuhuan clan."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun asked curiously: "Young General, do you want me to lead troops to attack Gongsun Zan?"

When Cao Ang heard this, he gently shook his head and said: "The two counties of Liaodong are located in remote areas. The three brothers of the Yuan family have been fighting here for so long, and the people must have been miserable. If we could not fight this battle, it would be a disaster." Try not to fight.”

"I kept you, Zilong, because I actually wanted you to be a lobbyist to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender."

"Persuading you to surrender?" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this and said: "This Gongsun Zan was defeated by you, the young general, and he must be dissatisfied with you. Will he still choose to surrender?"

Cao Ang thought for a while and explained to Zhao Yun: "Actually, all the two counties in Liaodong have been taken back by the imperial court. I want to subdue Gongsun Zan, mainly because I don't want the two counties in Liaodong to have another local emperor. "

"If Gongsun Zan doesn't solve the problem and lets him stay with Wuhuan, he will definitely return to Liaodong and become the overlord after our master returns to the court."

"In this case, all our efforts in Liaodong will be in vain, and we will make Gongsun Zan's wedding dress."

"In the current situation, for Gongsun Zan, he has no other choice but to surrender. After all, if we have a large army to attack the border, it would be just like playing games to deal with him, a desperate prince stationed on the grassland. .”

After Zhao Yun listened to Cao Ang's words, he nodded and said, "Major General, I understand. What you mean is that you want me to go to Gongsun Zan as an envoy to use coercion and inducement to force him to surrender, right?"

Hearing this, Cao Ang responded: "That's right, but for this trip, I will ask you to lead an army of 20,000 people. If Gongsun Zan does not surrender, you will directly lead the army to annihilate him!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yun accepted the order, and he set off with his army the next day.

After a day of rapid march, the scouts sent by Zhao Yun discovered a camp thirty miles away from them.

And the characteristics of that camp are not like the characteristics of the Wuhuan camp, but like a camp built by the Han people.

After Zhao Yun got the news, he smiled and said: "So, this camp is where Gongsun Zan will be stationed! Send the order and the whole army will camp where it is!"

Soon, Zhao Yun's camp was completed.

The camp was handed over to several lieutenants to garrison, and Zhao Yun himself came to the outside of Gongsun Zan's camp with a hundred personal guards.

After Zhao Yun arrived outside the camp, he asked the soldiers guarding the gate: "Is this the camp of White Horse General Gongsun Zan?"

When the soldier heard Zhao Yun calling Gongsun Zan by his name, he immediately became unhappy. "Who are you? You dare to call my general by his first name?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled and said: "I am the vanguard general under Major General Cao Ang. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, you go and inform your general that I want to see him!"

The soldiers guarding the gate, as Gongsun Zan's subordinates, had naturally heard those veterans say that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had both been defeated by Cao Ang.

Even the generals under Yuan Shao were killed by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

Xiaobing looked at Zhao Yun, stunned for a moment, and then hurried in to report.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was still reading the military manual in his Chinese army tent, and had no idea that Zhao Yun had arrived here with his army.

The soldiers hurriedly told their commanders the news of Zhao Yun's arrival.

After reporting at all levels, a deputy general finally told Gongsun Zan the news.

"Lord, it's bad, Zhao Yun is here!"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he put down the military book, frowned and asked, "Zhao Yun is here? With a large army?"

"This... shouldn't be the case. He is already at the gate of the camp!" the deputy general responded hurriedly.

After Gongsun Zan heard these words, he was stunned with surprise on his face, and then ordered: "Then what are you waiting for, invite people in quickly!"

Soon, Zhao Yun was invited to the camp, and Gongsun Zan stood at the door of his tent to greet Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun saw Gongsun Zan, as his former subordinate, he took the lead in greeting him and said, "General Gongsun, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time. General Zilong, come and invite me inside." Gongsun Zan responded, made an invitation gesture, and invited Zhao Yun into the Chinese army's tent.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down separately.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan took the lead and asked: "General Zilong, why are you doing this sudden visit?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he responded politely: "I have been ordered by the Major General to persuade General Gongsun to surrender."

"Surrender? So, have all the two Liaodong counties been captured by Cao Ang?" Gongsun Zan asked with curiosity on his face.

"Then Gongsun Kang, didn't he already marry Goguryeo and bring in 100,000 reinforcements? Why was he defeated so quickly? I thought that this battle would not be over until the end of autumn and the beginning of winter."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled and said: "The time, place, and people are favorable, and Gongsun Kang doesn't take advantage of it. How can he win?"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately became interested. He wanted to know what Zhao Yun meant by the right time, place, and people.

On the way here, Zhao Yun was thinking about how to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender.

Thinking of what Cao Ang said before, Zhao Yun drew inferences from one instance to another, and this was how he came up with the right time, place, and people! (End of chapter)
