Wild jujube, the main camp of the dukes!
Just as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were complimenting each other, Zhao Yang had already arrived beside Gongsun Zan.
"Zhao Yang has long heard of the White Horse General of Youzhou.”
As the saying went, flattery would not penetrate even if one was exposed. Although Zhao Yang and Gongsun Zan had never met before, one would not hit a smiling person.
When Gongsun Zan heard Zhao Yang's words, he immediately smiled and looked at Zhao Yang.
"May I know who you are?"
At this moment, Zhao Yang had already taken off his tattered cloth clothes and changed into the brocade Confucian robe that Cao Cao had prepared for him. Coupled with Zhao Yang's youthful yet elegant and easy-going temperament, he looked like a scholar.
"I am a strategist under the command of Cao Cao. Today, I am here to visit General Gongsun.”
"This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Zhao Yang took out an exquisitely carved jade pendant and handed it to Gongsun Zan.
"Good jade."
Gongsun Zan took the jade from Zhao Yang and said in surprise.
"A good jade matches a hero. This jade was obtained by the Duke of Cao by chance. Today, it is in the hands of General Gongsun.”
Zhao Yang smiled and flattered Gongsun Zan.
"Hahaha, little brother Zhao is too polite.”
Gongsun Zan's good impression of Zhao Yang quickly increased under Zhao Yang's deliberate wooing. He even addressed Zhao Yang as Little Brother Zhao.
Just like that, under Zhao Yang's deliberate guidance, Gongsun Zan could not help but play with the jade pendant in his hand. Then, he said to Zhao Yang straightforwardly,
"Little Brother Zhao, as the saying goes, one should not receive rewards without merit. Today, big brother received your jade pendant, and he really felt guilty.”
"How about this, if there's anything you want, as long as big brother can do it, I'll do it for you.”
"It's done."
When Zhao Yang heard Gongsun Zan's words, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes, but he said it righteously on the surface.
"General Gongsun, although Zhao Yang gave you the jade pendant, he didn't do it to get anything in return.”
"I'm here today to get to know the petrifying White Horse General Gongsun Zan!”
"Seeing General Gongsun today, you really live up to your reputation!”
Zhao Yang declined righteously.
"How can I do that?"
Gongsun Zan felt even more embarrassed when he heard Zhao Yang's praise. A pained expression flashed across his face.
"How about this? Now that the world is chaotic, big brother has nothing to give you. I'll give you a white horse for ten people.”
Gongsun Zan was moved by Zhao Yang's words and actually offered to give the white horse to Zhao Yang.
"Is this the White Horse Righteous Servant that made the Outsiders tremble in fear?”
Zhao Yang pretended to be shocked.
"That's right."
Gongsun Zan looked at Zhao Yang's shocked expression, and the pain in his heart almost disappeared. He said proudly.
Everyone in the world knew that Gongsun Zan loved white horses, and he even created a special army, the White Horse Servant!
This special army had a slogan: where righteousness goes, life and death follow! The heavens could testify, and the white horse could testify!
That was how the name White Horse Yicong came about.
At the same time, Liu Bei, who was standing not far behind Gongsun Zan, revealed a look of envy and jealousy when he heard that Gongsun Zan was going to give Zhao Yang ten white horse followers.
Thinking back, as Gongsun Zan's classmate, he had once asked for a white horse for Gongsun Zan, but he had been rejected without hesitation.
Now, Gongsun Zan had actually taken the initiative to give Zhao Yang ten white horse followers.
What made Liu Bei even more upset was that Zhao Yang actually declined!
"F * ck, don't give it to me!”
At this moment, Liu Bei shouted in his heart!
He wished he could kick Zhao Yang away and take it for himself!
Unfortunately, no matter how uncomfortable Liu Bei was, he could not get the white horse to follow him.
Even Zhao Yun, one of his future generals, was immediately poached by Zhao Yang.
"Brother, don't say anything else. I'll give you this white horse.”
Gongsun Zan saw that Zhao Yang still refused after knowing the name of the white horse, so he waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
He even addressed Zhao Yang as his younger brother.
From this, it could be seen that Gongsun Zan really treated Zhao Yang as a brother.
Zhao Yang looked at Gongsun Zan, who treated him as a brother with just a few words, and a touch of gratitude flashed across his heart.
If he had praised Gongsun Zan just to win Zhao Yun over, then Zhao Yang had truly acknowledged Gongsun Zan.
Although Gongsun Zan was a mixed person, he was a true nemesis of the Outsiders when he was in Youzhou. He had killed countless Outsiders.
"Big Brother, I'll accept it then!"
Zhao Yang said solemnly to Gongsun Zan.
"Haha, good!"
"Men, bring the wine."
Gongsun Zan smiled when he saw Zhao Yang agree.
"Big brother, I owe you a favor this time. If you have any problems in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you.”
Zhao Yang said solemnly to Gongsun Zan.
"What are you saying, brother? You're just a scholar, what can you do to help?”
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and didn't take Zhao Yang's words to heart. Zhao Yang smiled and didn't say anything.
Soon, after the soldiers brought the wine, Zhao Yang raised his glass and said to Gongsun Zan.
"Big brother, let me give you a toast."
Zhao Yang finished his drink.
"Haha, my brother is straightforward."
When Gongsun Zan saw this, he smiled boldly and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh right, big brother, can I choose the ten white horse followers myself?”
Although Zhao Yang acknowledged Gongsun Zan, he did not forget the purpose of his visit.
"No problem. I'll get the deputy general to take you to choose later.”
Gongsun Zan said without hesitation.
"Haha, thank you, big brother.”
Zhao Yang smiled at Gongsun Zan.
"What's there to thank between us?"
Soon, after Zhao Yang and Gongsun Zan finished drinking, he selected ten white horse followers under the lead of the deputy general.
One of them was Zhao Yang's target this time, Zhao Zilong from Chang Shan!
At this point, one of Liu Bei's future Five Tiger Generals had been exchanged for a jade pendant by Zhao Yang.
