"Let's observe for a period of time."
"Even if Mister isn't a transmigrator, with such great talent, you must stay in my military camp.”
"If we find out that he has disloyalty, we must get rid of him as soon as possible!”
"We can't let such a person become the enemy of our Cao army!”
As he spoke, Cao Ang clenched his fists.
He couldn't help but look at the shining sword at his waist.
The more outstanding Zhao Yang was, the more determined he was to intimidate him.
Such a great talent, he absolutely could not stand on the opposite side of the Cao army.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
…………
Wan City.
Early in the morning, Wan City's gates were wide open. Over a hundred soldiers lined up on both sides as if they were waiting for someone.
Zhang Xiu personally stood guard in front of the city gate, with Poison Warrior Jia Xu by his side.
It was obvious that his face was flashing with impatience.
"It's just a mere vanguard unit, only five hundred people.”
"That Cao Cao didn't even want to come personally to accept the surrender. We still have to rush up and open the city gates to welcome him.”
"Wouldn't our actions make Cao Cao look down on us even more?”
Zhang Xiu looked into the distance, but he did not see a single person. He could not help but speak in dissatisfaction.
Although surrendering was a helpless move.
However, a real man should have some backbone when surrendering.
How could he be so servile?
If that was the case, he might as well die.
However, Jia Xu shook his head and said,"
"Cao Cao can't completely trust us.”
"Sending the vanguard this time is also to test us.”
"General, don't be impatient. Cao Cao will come in a few days.”
Zhang Xiu was about to say something.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away.
"He's here."
Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,"
"That Cao Cao actually sent his most beloved eldest son, Cao Ang, as the vanguard.”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll directly threaten her son as a hostage?”
Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said,
"If that's the case, then the thing that the general is worried about will probably happen.”
"Cao Cao will use this as an excuse to repeat the matter of Xuzhou to Wancheng.”
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu's expression clearly became somewhat ugly.
However, he did not say anything else and waited for the arrival of the Cao army's vanguard.
"We will reach Wan City in another five hundred steps.”
"Zixiu, we still have to be careful.”
Looking at the faintly discernible Wan City in the distance, Cao Chun spoke slowly.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't give them a chance to take advantage of me.”
"If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately.”
Cao Ang said self-deprecatingly,
"General Xu, have you arranged the retreat route?”
Xu Huang nodded.
"Don't worry, Young Master.”
"But there are no signs of an ambush nearby. It's almost impossible for Zhang Xiu to chase after them in this situation.”
Everyone was discussing, but Zhao Yang was still expressionless.
It was as if everything was under his control.
Zhao Yang was certain that Zhang Xiu would not make a move, at least not before Cao Cao's army arrived.
If he didn't want Wan City to become the next Xu Prefecture, he wouldn't be so stupid as to attack Cao Ang.
This was also why Cao Cao was so assured to let Cao Ang go.
Soon, they were only a hundred steps away from Wan City.
At this moment, the welcoming team outside Wan City was clearly visible.
"That Zhang Xiu didn't have the guts to resist.”
"I led the troops to welcome him at the door early on. This person is not worth worrying about.”
Cao Ang could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this situation.
Wasn't Zhang Xiu showing weakness by opening the city gates to welcome them?
Soon, Cao Ang and the others arrived in front of Zhang Xiu.
"I've heard a lot about you, General Zhang!"
Cao Ang stepped forward politely.
Although he did not care about Zhang Xiu, he did not look down on him.
Cao Ang's personality was like this, and he wasn't stupid.
Being too arrogant would only cause one to fall badly.
"This is Young Master Cao Ang, right? Is he really a talent?"
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu immediately squeezed out a smile and said,
"May I know where the Sikong Army is now?”
"When will you come to surrender?"
Zhang Xiu was most worried that Cao Cao would not come.
If Cao Cao refused to come and surrender.
Then, even if he planned to act alone in the future, he would lose his prestige.
"Father has already led the army to Weishui.”
"He sent me to lead the vanguard to Wan City.”
Cao Ang replied calmly.
Zhao Yang saw his reaction.
No wonder people said Cao Ang was Cao Cao's favorite son.
Thinking of his younger brother's future behavior, he was really far inferior to him.
If Cao Ang didn't die in the official history, would the final outcome of the Three Kingdoms be changed?
At this moment, Zhang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yang who was beside Cao Ang and asked in confusion,
"This is…"
Zhang Xiu naturally recognized Cao Ang and Cao Chun.
Xu Huang sensibly rode his horse behind Cao Ang.
Only Zhao Yang was a new face. He was so young, but he was actually on par with Cao Ang.
Could this person be Cao Cao's other son?
However, Cao Cao's eldest son was Cao Ang, and his second son, Cao Pi, was only in his teens. His age was not right.
Zhao Yang didn't just attract Zhang Xiu's attention.
Jia Xu, who was standing behind him, also noticed this.
"I am Zhao Yang, also known as Qingfeng. I am the chief clerk under Sikong.”
"Greetings, General Zhang."
Zhao Yang introduced himself calmly.
The registrar?
Zhang Xiu could not help but be stunned when he heard this.
It turned out that this young man in front of him was the main registrar, Zhao Yang, who had attracted Jia Xu's attention!
Zhang Xiu never expected Zhao Yang to be so young!
He looked even younger than Cao Ang.
Normally, Zhang Xiu would not be interested in a mere registrar.
But even Jia Xu could not help but mention this person, presumably he was also a talent.
"So it's Mr. Zhao. You're really a hero.”
Zhang Xiu chuckled.
When the two sides met, it didn't seem like they were accepting a surrender. Instead, it was like they were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
However, Zhao Yang knew very well that it was usually very calm before the storm.
Zhang Xiu surrendered earlier than Zhao Yang had expected.
No one knew if his surrender was sincere.
He had to be careful.
"I have already prepared a banquet in the city.”
"How about we wait for Sikong in the city?”
Zhang Xiu said indifferently.
"Thank you."
Cao Ang naturally had no reason to refuse.
Even though it might be dangerous to enter the city.
However, since Zhao Yang didn't say anything, Cao Ang was relieved.
From the looks of it, Zhang Xiu seemed to have surrendered wholeheartedly.
"When did Mr. Zhao invest in Sikong's account?”
"I haven't heard of your name before.”
" Zhao Yang!" On the way, a slightly weathered voice called out to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.
The person who spoke was none other than a middle-aged man with a small mustache!
This person was following behind Zhang Xiu. Who else could it be other than Jia Xu?
