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

The news that Cao Ang led the army south quickly spread throughout the country.

Liu Biao and others were quite shocked after learning the news.

"What does Cao Ang mean? Doesn't he know that Zhang Xiu has taken refuge with me?"

"If that's the case, doesn't he mean to break up with me?"

Liu Biao was angry in the main hall. At this time, he had not yet made a decision.

After all, the person Cao Ang wanted to fight was Zhang Xiu.

If he had drawn a clear line with Zhang Xiu before Cao Ang arrived, then Cao Ang would not have been angry with him.

But if he really does this, who will dare to seek refuge with him in the future?

After Liu Biao got angry, he said loudly: "Come on, let's talk about it. What should we do in this situation?"

After hearing Liu Biao's words, a group of generals led by Li Yan stood up one after another.

"Lord, at this time, we are fighting happily with the Sun family father and son. We must not antagonize the young general again."

"That's right, lord. The Sun family father and son also have some friendship with the young general. If they join forces to deal with you, lord, because of Zhang Xiu's matter, things will be very bad."

"My lord, I think we should give up Zhang Xiu and save the chariot by losing our soldiers!"

All the generals agreed with Li Yan's words.

Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and other counselors were firmly opposed to abandoning Zhang Xiu.

"My lord, I just joined my lord's army not long ago. If I just abandon it because of such a trivial matter, I am afraid that no one will sincerely join my lord in the future."

"Yes, lord, and Zhang Xiu is a first-rate general. He serves under the lord, which can be said to make the lord even more powerful."

"What's more, if the lord supports Zhang Xiu, with his reputation as the spear king of the North, he may really be able to stop the young general!"

"Yes, as long as Zhang Xiu can resist the young general, his reputation will be greatly enhanced this time, which will also be good for the future lord to expand his power!"

All the counselors felt that as long as Liu Biao supported Zhang Xiu, Cao Ang would not fight with Zhang Xiu.

All of them believed that Cao Ang came here just to get an explanation.

After all, logically speaking, Zhang Xiu should have sought refuge with Cao Ang, but instead he came to Liu Biao's side halfway.

According to Kuai Yue's idea, it should be that Cao Ang came here and asked for some money and food, so that he could send the other party away.

Kuai Yue told Liu Biao and everyone his thoughts.

"According to my opinion, the Major General Cao Ang came here just for the sake of face."

"The imperial court issued an edict, requiring all the Xiliang troops who fled to surrender to the imperial court."

"But the Xiliang army, the largest in number, led by Zhang Xiu, came to the Lord. This made Cao Ang feel that he couldn't keep his face."

"He came here for two purposes, one is reputation, and the second is the money and food."

"As long as the master writes an honest letter of apology to the major general and gives him some money and food, this matter will be over."

When Li Yan heard this, he angrily said: "According to seniority, when Cao Ang sees his lord, he still needs to call him uncle!"

"What's more, even Cao Ang's father, Grand Sima Cao Cao, needs to be polite when meeting our lord and let the lord apologize to Cao Ang. Why?"

When Kuai Yue heard this, he smiled and said, "General Li only knows about the battlefield, but not about the diplomatic relations." "There is no deep conflict between us and Cao Ang, not even between the lord and him. There’s also some friendship.”

"With a few soft words and some money and food, you can exchange for a fierce general like Zhang Xiu. Isn't this a very cost-effective deal?"

"What's more, the lost money and food can be recovered from the Sun family and his sons in the future!"

After hearing this, all the generals were a little unhappy.

At this time, Li Yan also wanted to refute.

Then, before he could speak, Liu Biao spoke first: "Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. Don't give up on Zhang Xiu for the time being, and negotiate with Cao Ang first."

When everyone saw that Liu Biao had already made his decision, they said nothing more.

Soon, Liu Bian's peace request letter was delivered to Cao Ang.

At this time, Cao Ang, together with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, led 50,000 front troops and marched into Nanyang County.

As for Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong followed behind with a hundred thousand troops, food, grass and baggage.

At the border of Runan County, Cao Ang led the army to station.

Inside the Chinese army's tent, Cao Ang took Liu Biao's letter and chuckled: "Liu Biao, do you think that if you say a few soft words to me, I will let him go?"

After saying this, Cao Ang handed the letter in his hand to Guo Jia on the side.

Guo Jia took the letter and after reading the contents, he chuckled and handed the letter to Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

Afterwards, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Liu Biao really thinks that he is a bit mean to the young general and wants to intercede for Zhang Xiu?"

At this time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun also finished reading the letter.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "This Liu Jingsheng's thinking is really simple. He doesn't think that we are really here for Zhang Xiu, right?"

Zhao Yun also echoed at this time: "Young General, the general and Zhang Xiu can actually be regarded as the same sect. If we really talk about it, he can also be regarded as my senior brother."

As Zhao Yun finished speaking, everyone else also looked at Zhao Yun.

Only Cao Ang tilted his head and thought about it.

According to the original history, it is difficult to say whether there is a relationship between Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, so he has never connected the two people.

But if one goes by what is said in various novels, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun are indeed brothers from the same school.

Cao Ang looked at Zhao Yun and asked softly: "Zilong, are you and that Zhang Xiu indeed brothers?"

Everyone was looking at Zhao Yun curiously at this time, wanting to hear the origin of Zhao Yun's martial arts.

Zhao Yun nodded to Cao Ang, and then started talking about the origin of his martial arts.

"The last general learned from Tong Yuan. Before that, my master also taught two apprentices, one was Zhang Ren and the other was Zhang Xiu."

"It's just that the general is a close disciple accepted by the master in his later years. The general has never seen these two senior brothers of mine."

When everyone heard this, they were relieved.

No wonder Zhao Yun, at such a young age, has such strong martial arts skills. He turned out to be a close disciple taught by Tong Yuan. (End of chapter)
