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

Zhao Yun smiled and explained to Gongsun Zan what he meant by the right time, right place and right people.

"First of all, this person is under the command of the young general. There are like clouds of generals who are good at fighting, and like rain of people who can make plans. And there are many capable people under the general and Gongsun Kang. I don't need to say more, right? "

"The second is the geographical advantage. The major general came from the sea with his troops, and General Wenyuan came from western Liaoning. The east and west sides are all controlled by the major general. Under attack from both sides, Gongsun Kang has nowhere to escape."

"Finally, it's time. The Major General said that most of the troops he led this time were drawn from Xuzhou and Huainan. They are not good at fighting in the cold winter."

"But now, there is still a long period of time before winter begins in Liaodong. This gives the young general enough time to take control of Gongsun Kang. This is the right time."

After Gongsun Zan heard what Zhao Yun said, he fell silent.

Zhao Yun continued: "The time, place, and people are favorable, and neither the general nor Gongsun Kang takes advantage of them. How can we win?"

Gongsun Zan had nothing to say at this time. After all, Zhao Yun's analysis was sound and he could not refute.

When Zhao Yun saw that Gongsun Zan was silent, he began to persuade him: "General Gongsun, let me tell you the truth. The two counties of Liaodong are now under the control of the major general."

"If you, general, are stubborn, then the young general also gave me the next order, which is to lead troops to destroy the general."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he frowned even deeper. He didn't want to go to war with Cao Ang at all, because he knew that he couldn't win at all, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Wuhuan with his troops.

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Zan continued to speak: "General Zilong, do you mean to start a war with me?"

Zhao Yun shook his head when he heard this and said: "It was because General Gongsun was stubborn that I would take action against the general. If the general could figure it out, then I would naturally not take action against the general."

When Gongsun Zan heard what Zhao Yun said, he lowered his head and began to think.

He was thinking about whether he had a chance to win against Zhao Yun at this time.

After much thought, Gongsun Zan still couldn't think of a way to defeat Zhao Yun.

However, he was not willing to surrender just like that.

"General Zilong, can I meet and have a talk with the Major General?"

Gongsun Zan tried to ask Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he realized that Gongsun Zan had already planned to surrender.

So he smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, as long as General Gongsun will not use weapons for the sake of the people of Liaodong, I think the young general is willing to talk to you, General Gongsun."

Gongsun Zan was relieved after hearing this, and then ordered his army to return to Liaodong County.

At noon the next day, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan met Cao Ang in Xiangping.

Gongsun Zan looked at Cao Ang, who was sitting on the throne, with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to say for a while.

When Zhao Yun saw this, he sighed. After all, he had served under Gongsun Zan, and since he had brought him here, he could only remind him bravely.

"General Gongsun, why don't you recognize the young general after we haven't seen each other for a few months?"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he sighed, cupped his hands to Cao Ang and said, "I've seen the young general." At this time, Gongsun Zan felt that he had been lamenting and sighing these days.

After all, it's not a pleasant life being oppressed by the Cao family.

When Cao Ang saw Gongsun Zan coming, he responded with a smile: "It turns out that General Gongsun is here."

After saying hello, Cao Ang signaled Zhao Yun to come back: "Zilong, you have done a great job by bringing General Gongsun here this time."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he felt a thump in his heart.

What does it mean that bringing him here is a great achievement?

Could it be that Cao Ang wants to take action?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan looked back and forth between Cao Ang and Zhao Yun, his eyes full of disbelief.

After seeing Gongsun Zan's reaction, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile and said: "General Gongsun, when you were the governor of Youzhou, why are you so timid now?"

When Gongsun Zan heard these sarcastic words, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Now you are a swordsman and I am a fish. Fear is also natural."

Upon hearing this answer, Cao Ang knew that Gongsun Zan was really scared.

So he smiled and comforted the other party: "General Gongsun, don't worry. Seeing that you responded positively when the imperial court attacked the foreign tribes in the north, I will not take your life when it comes to attacking Wuhuan." of."

Gongsun Zan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that an unintentional move would come in handy at this time.

At this time, Cao Ang also put forward his own conditions: "General Gongsun, although I can spare your life, I can't leave you here in Liaodong."

"Then... what are the young generals going to do with me?" Gongsun Zan asked Cao Ang.

Cao Ang had already thought about how to deal with Gongsun Zan, so after hearing this question, he answered without hesitation: "My arrangement is that General Gongsun, you, hand over your military power and go to the Central Plains."

"Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, the counties under these four states, General Gongsun can serve wherever he wants. I can guarantee that you will be the largest official in the local area, but..."

Having said this, Cao Ang paused.

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "But you only have an official position but no real power, right?"

When Cao Ang saw that Gongsun Zan had figured it out, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I meant. Although you surrendered and gave up military power, you are not mine after all, and I cannot trust you 100%. "

Hearing what Cao Ang said, Gongsun Zan asked unconvinced: "Then why can people like Lu Bu, who betray their master and seek glory, be able to serve under the major general and lead troops, but I can't?"

When saying this, Gongsun Zan also glanced at Lu Bu who was standing aside.

Originally, Lu Bu was still playing soy sauce, and Gongsun Zan's matter had nothing to do with him anyway.

As a result, he stayed aside well, and the topic came to him.

After Gongsun Zan asked the question, Lu Bu became unhappy before Cao Ang could speak.

Lu Bu slapped the table and stood up: "Gongsun Zan, you'd better understand your identity. What kind of relationship do I have with the Major General? Can you compare?"

"Back then, when the Major General and I were brothers, you didn't know where you were, and you still wanted to compete with me. You were really daydreaming!" (End of Chapter)
