"My lord,"
"Lu Bu, who is ranked first, is a servant of the three families. Even if we manage to plot it, it will hinder the lord's foundation.”
"There's no need to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.”
"Ranked fifth is the son of the rebel general Ma Teng, Ma Chao.”
"Therefore, among the six, only the second and third ranked Zhao Yun and Dian Wei can be used by the lord!”
Zhao Ming analyzed carefully.
Ma Teng and his sworn brother Han Sui were currently in Liangzhou to rebel and had yet to accept the imperial court's amnesty.
That was why Zhao Ming said that Ma Teng was a traitor.
Hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
He had never expected that after missing out on the fourth-ranked Guan Yu and the sixth-ranked Zhang Fei, he would still be able to win the second-ranked Zhao Yun and the third-ranked Dian Wei.
This was not bad.
"Ziyang, what should I do?”
"Where are Zhao Yun and Dian Wei now?”
"What price should I pay to take them under my wing?”
Zhao Ming glanced at Cao Cao, who seemed to be in a hurry. He naturally understood what Cao Cao was thinking, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Zhao Yun will be Gongsun Zan's bodyguard.”
"If my lord is willing to give up his beloved horse, Ziyang will have a way to bring Zhao Yun back for my lord.”
"As for that Dian Wei, he is currently an ordinary soldier under the command of Governor Zhang Miao of Chenliu, one of the 18 dukes.”
"My lord only needs to send someone to send Zhang Miao some gold and silver, and Dian Wei will be transferred to his side in a few days.”
Although Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was one of the eighteen feudal vassals, he did not have the ability to recognize people. Thus, in Zhang Miao's eyes, Dian Wei was just a boorish man who only knew how to eat and drink.
Hearing this, Cao Cao was extremely happy and slapped his thigh.
"Someone, bring me my Vanishing Shadow!”
Outside Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao placed the reins of the Dayuan horse, Jueying, in Zhao Ming's hands.
Vanishing Shadow was one of the four famous horses of the Three Kingdoms.
It was as famous as Red Rabbit, Yellow Claw Flying Lightning, and Lu.
However, for Zhao Yun, Cao Cao handed over the horse without hesitation.
"My lord, just wait for my good news.”
Zhao Ming held Vanishing Shadow's reins and jumped onto the Ten Thousand Miles Cloud Dragon Stallion, leaving in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, Zhao Ming arrived at Gongsun Zan's camp.
When Gongsun Zan learned that the chief military advisor of Cao Cao's camp had arrived, he hurriedly walked out of the tent to welcome him.
It had to be said that after his Charm exceeded 100, even the dukes 'attitudes towards Zhao Ming became much better.
Of course, this had something to do with the relatively relaxed atmosphere of followers.
Zhao Ming was capable of both literature and martial arts. Wouldn't it be great if he could rope him in?
After some small talk.
Zhao Ming straightforwardly stated his intention.
"Governor Gongsun, I'm here.”
"The main reason is that my lord and you hit it off at first sight and wants to form an alliance with you in private.”
"Tomorrow, our two families will join forces and attack Tiger Cage Pass!”
"As a show of sincerity, my lord has ordered me to bring a precious horse from Dawan to present to the prefect!”
Zhao Ming naturally wouldn't be stupid and directly proposed to use Vanishing Shadow to exchange for Zhao Yun. What if Gongsun Zan went back on his word?
Thus, Zhao Ming fabricated a story about a private alliance.
When Gongsun Zan heard this, his facial muscles twitched slightly.
Cao Cao, who was ranked at the bottom among the 18 dukes, actually wanted to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan?
I have a white horse, but what do you have?
Hehe, what a joke!
You, Cao Cao, are the descendant of a first-grade eunuch. What right do you have to form an alliance with me, Gongsun Zan?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan put on a fake smile and cupped his hands at Zhao Ming.""Haha, you're too polite, Military Advisor Zhao. Didn't the eighteen feudal vassals already form an alliance to attack that old bastard Dong Zhuo? Meng De, why do you have to do this?"
"Oh?"
"Since Governor Gongsun has said so.”
"Then I'll bring Vanishing Shadow back to report to my lord.”
Zhao Ming did not stand on ceremony. He stood up from the table and pretended to leave.
Before he stood up, Zhao Ming emphasized the word "Vanishing Shadow".
"Military Advisor, wait!"
"May I ask about the Vanishing Shadow that Military Advisor mentioned?"
"But that Eunuch Cao, oh no, the Great Wan Treasure Stallion that Minister Cao brought out of the palace?”
Gongsun Zan loved horses as much as his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate a cavalry force like the White Horse Righteous Army.
When Gongsun Zan had just welcomed Zhao Ming, he had already noticed that one of the warhorses Zhao Ming had brought was in high spirits. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary breed, and he was already tempted.
Now that he heard the name "Vanishing Shadow".
Gongsun Zan could not sit still anymore.
"How can a mere Dawan precious steed catch Lord Gongsun's eye?”
"I'll take my leave first!"
Zhao Ming pretended to leave.
Not far away, Gongsun Zan's subordinates immediately revealed fierce gazes. They moved forward, wanting to stop Zhao Ming.
As long as one was a soldier or a general, which one of them didn't have their heads hanging on their belts?
To the generals of this era, killing and robbing were nothing new. It was fine as long as they were clean!
"Stop!"
"Do you want to kill the lord?"
"That Cao Cao's chief strategist can be said to be the enemy of ten thousand people. If we anger him, all of us here will die!”
Yan Gang, the general under Gongsun Zan, sensed the unusual movements of the generals and was immediately shocked. His face revealed an extremely terrified expression!
Immediately, Yan Gang lowered his voice and decisively shouted at his subordinates to stop.
