But then, he said seriously,"
"However, I wasn't the one who protected Si Kong yesterday.”
"It's Young Master Cao Ang and General Cao Anmin.”
"Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Cao Ren, and the others.”
"They are the ones who are charging and fighting.”
"If that's the case, I definitely won't dare to take credit.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was moved.
Talented, low-key, and open-minded!
Where could he find such a talent?
He even took the initiative to come to her!
The more Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yang, the more handsome he became.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
She didn't have any other thoughts. She just wanted to eat and marry Qinghe.
Wasn't this a small matter?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao chuckled,"
"Sir, don't be too modest!"
"If you hadn't prepared for this, how could there have been a follow-up?”
"You're the first to make a contribution. This is highly recommended by the generals!”
"Don't refuse!"
Zhao Yang smiled bitterly and said,"
"Then if Sikong Mo wants to promote me, I'll just be the main registrar.”
"I'm free and have no official business."
"However…Sikong, don't forget what you just said.”
Cao Cao was stunned.
What words?
But soon, he understood.
"Hahahaha!"
"Sir, don't worry. I'll definitely consider it carefully!”
……
Although Zhao Yang had made a great contribution this time.
However, after careful consideration, Cao Cao was still suspicious of Zhao Yang's identity as a 'transmigrator'.
After all, this was too unbelievable.
Compared to the excuse of a transmigrator.
Cao Cao was more willing to believe that Zhao Yang was a talented strategist with foresight.
However, Cao Cao couldn't understand why Zhao Yang kept hiding his talent despite being so talented.
He was even only willing to be the main registrar and not want any official position with real power?
Otherwise, Zhao Yang's contribution in the battle of Wan City would have been enough.
It was not an exaggeration to make Zhao Yang the commander of the army.
If he still had merit in the future, Cao Cao even wanted to give the position of Military Advisor Chancellor to Zhao Yang.
However, Zhao Yang was unwilling to do so. It seemed like he really didn't want to.
After returning to his tent, Cao Cao was puzzled.
At this moment, Cao Ang strode into the tent.
He cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said,"
"What should we do now?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said,
"Lock him up first."
Hearing this, Cao Ang was stunned.
"Father, Zhang Xiu has done such a thing. Shouldn't we punish him on the spot as a warning to others?”
Cao Cao shook his head,
"Right now, our army has yet to completely control Wan City.”
"Before we completely take down Wan City, let him live first.”
"Also, have you found Jia Xu?”
Cao Ang was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said,
"Jia Xu is still in the city, but he has gathered a portion of the remaining soldiers.”
"Guard Wan City."
"However, if we attack forcefully, we can also break it.”
"Alright."
Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked,"
"Ang 'er, let me ask you."
"Why do you think Mr. Zhao has repeatedly rejected my idea of promoting him?”
This question made Wang Caoang slightly stunned.
After a moment of silence, he said,"
"I'm not sure either…"
"Mister Zhao is the strangest person I have ever met.”
"He clearly has such a great talent, but he refuses to accept power.”
"If there's no other explanation…I think it's really as Mister Zhao said.”
"He just didn't want Father to suspect him.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's mouth twitched.
Fortunately, Cao Ang said this.
If it was anyone else, Cao Cao would have changed his face on the spot.
"Could it be that my suspicions are really that heavy?”
"Even such a talented strategist doesn't dare to face him directly, right?”
Cao Cao said coldly.
There was no emotion in his tone.
But as soon as he said that, he fell silent.
Perhaps that was the case…
Before the battle last night, Cao Cao had suspected Zhao Yang.
They even suspected that Zhao Yang was a spy sent by Yuan Shao and the others.
Only now did he dispel this doubt.
Cao Ang lowered his head, not daring to answer.
He did not know what to say.
Even if he knew how to say it, he definitely couldn't say it!
He knew his father's personality very well.
He was wrong, but no one could say anything.
This was Cao Cao.
This was Cao Cao, who would rather betray others than let others betray him.
"Alright, you may leave."
"Right, pull Zhang Xiu and the others out.”
Hearing this, Cao Ang could not help but be stunned.
Didn't they say that they wouldn't punish Zhang Xiu?
Did Father suddenly change his mind?
However, Cao Ang was still doubtful, so he definitely wouldn't say anything. Instead, he cupped his hands and said,
"Here."
……
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Cao Cao sat in the main seat, and Zhao Yang sat beside him.
The rest of the generals lined up on both sides.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Cao Cao turned around and said to Zhao Yang,"
"Mister, tell me, how should we deal with Zhang Xiu?”
Hearing this, Zhao Yang was stunned at first, then he smiled and said,"
"Such a decision requires Sikong to make the final decision.”
"However, Zhang Xiu will surrender again.”
After saying that, Zhao Yang stopped talking.
The final decision was naturally left to Cao Cao.
Killing Zhang Xiu would definitely have its pros and cons.
However, Zhao Yang couldn't weigh the pros and cons of this, and Cao Cao knew it very well.
As for their surrender, Zhao Yang was not spouting nonsense.
It was true.
Now, he had even defeated Zhang Xiu.
If Zhang Xiu had a brain, he would not dare to rebel again.
Soon, Zhang Xiu and his captured soldiers were tied up and kneeling in General Cao's tent.
"Zhang Xiu, let me ask you."
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly said,"
"Since you chose to surrender to me, why did you rebel?”
"When I return to Xudu, I will ask the emperor for the position of Marquis of Wancheng for you.”
"In the future, in Wan City, you can still be the City Lord. Isn't that good?!”
Although Cao Cao's voice was emotionless, it made Zhang Xiu shudder.
Terrifying, too terrifying!
The current Cao Cao only made Zhang Xiu feel fear.
It was too terrifying.
Zhang Xiu did not know that Zhao Yang was the mastermind behind all of this.
In Zhang Xiu's eyes.
Cao Cao was trying to lure him out, using him as bait!
Such boldness, such methods.
And this ability to encircle and annihilate them was too terrifying.
After a night of battle, Zhang Xiu had completely lost his confidence.
He was no match for Cao Cao!
He looked at Zhang Xiu, who had his head lowered and did not dare to breathe.
Cao Cao was even more convinced of Zhao Yang's thoughts.
The current Zhang Xiu was a completely different person from the one he saw yesterday.
Their essence, spirit, and energy were completely different.
Obviously, this battle had scared him.
"Sigh…"
"I treated you sincerely, but you treat me like this.”
"I'm very heartbroken."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and muttered.
