Chapter 249: An angry negotiation at the beginning? [Please subscribe and vote for the big chapter]

The next morning.

After a short communication.

Several forces jointly agreed to place the meeting location to the north of Nangong County, ten miles away.

Gongsun Zan must retreat his army to the north of Jiangshui. There is such a river blocking it, thus ensuring that even if Gongsun Zan has any evil intentions, other parties will have enough time to respond.

After ordering the army under his command to move on standby, Zhang Liao and others were asked to send out scouting horses to keep an eye on the movements at the meeting place.

Cao Ang immediately took Dian Wei and the person who was involved in Jizhou affairs this time, namely Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, and the three of them went there together.

Behind him were a group of personal guards.

With the horse galloping.

The journey of more than ten miles passed by in a flash.

When Cao Ang arrived at the temporary discussion tent ten miles north of Nangong County, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, who were relatively close, were already waiting quietly in the tent.

It's just that the two of them are in the same room.

But they were watching each other's eyes, nose and heart, just drinking tea and wine, or pretending to look at a scroll in their hands.

Don't say a word to the other person at all.

Just think that there is no one else in this camp except yourself.

"Hush!"

There was a sound of reining in the horse.

Cao Ang rolled over and landed in front of the tent, and after leaving the horse to his personal guards, he took Cao Ren and Dian Wei to the tent.

But just as he was about to step inside.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

"General Cao, but General Zixiu in person?"

This voice sounds familiar.

Cao Ang suddenly turned around.

Suddenly, he discovered that not far behind him, there were three men with strange appearance, rushing towards him.

It was the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

…

Saw these three brothers.

Cao Ang was not in a hurry to go in. Han Fu hadn't arrived yet anyway, so there was no harm in waiting.

"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so charming, which makes me so happy!"

"Yun Chang, Yide, you are fine!"

Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very fond of each other, especially regarding their eldest brother Liu Bei.

When the princes gathered for an alliance, Cao Ang showed kindness and kindness to the three brothers. How could this be something that can be easily forgotten?

So faced with Cao Ang's greeting.

Both Guan and Zhang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed slightly to Cao Ang, and bowed their hands in salute.

"I have met General Cao. Thanks to the general's concern, my two brothers are living with my eldest brother, and they are living a comfortable life!"

Cao Ang laughed.

Just when he was about to say something, Liu Bei's words floated into his ears.

"I've heard that General Cao will also lead his troops to Nangong County for an appointment, so I'm waiting here just to meet the general first."

Suddenly I heard this.

After looking at the slightly anxious look on Liu Bei's face and the urgency contained in his words, Cao Ang suddenly understood.

He immediately looked around a few times.

Then, together with Liu Bei, they moved slightly away from the camp. After such operations.

Just now he asked Liu Bei solemnly: "Brother Xuande, if you have anything to say to me, please just say it."

…

Liu Bei also acted like a thief.

After looking around for a while, he approached Cao Ang, lowered his voice, and spoke to him quietly.

"As far as I know, Bogui is determined this time and has determined that Jizhou must be included in his pocket. He will not give up until he achieves this goal."

"For this reason, we have sent tens of thousands of people to rush back to Youzhou to convey the order and mobilize the remaining nearly 10,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry to prepare to use all our strength to fight to the death with all the forces in Jizhou."

"Bogui and I were classmates in the past, but you, General Cao, were also kind to me. I am not ungrateful. I can only give a warning against my classmates."

"I hope General Cao can be more careful and don't let anything happen here!"

Between a few words.

This made Cao Ang look surprised.

He was not shocked by Gongsun Zan's actions, because he had already guessed that Gongsun Bogui was not a peaceful person.

On the surface, they pretend to negotiate with everyone, but behind the scenes they mobilize troops and fight with all their strength. This is something that can be calculated on the fingers of one's fingers.

And the reason why Cao Ang was surprised.

It was purely because of Liu Bei's attitude.

Liu Xuande is still a loyal person!

This guy is really capable. Even though he is still working under Gongsun Zan, he is able to inform him on important issues.

Based on this alone, the embarrassment that I had saved for him during the alliance in Xingyang was not in vain.

And when I thought about how a few days ago, I had just recruited Zhao Yun, who would have met Liu Bei, under his command, and completely severed this connection.

A slight feeling of embarrassment emerged in Cao Ang's mind.

But there is only a trace of it.

It disappeared without a trace in an instant.

…

"Thank you Brother Xuande for your kindness. I am aware of this matter and will find a way to deal with it next."

After understanding something.

Cao Ang then turned to Liu Bei with great interest: "Speaking of which, since the original alliance against Dong Zhuo was disbanded, I have never heard about Brother Xuande's movements."

"I wonder if you currently hold any position under General Gongsun?"

Talk about this.

A look of embarrassment was visible on Liu Bei's face, and he coughed helplessly.

Then he said softly: "To make Zixiu laugh, I am still under Bo Gui's command, and no other commander has made any changes."

Got the answer I wanted.

Cao Ang immediately showed a smile on his face.

He patted Liu Bei's arm somewhat affectionately, and then made a promise to Liu Bei.

"If Xuande no longer wants to stay under Gongsun Bogui in the future, you can come to me and I will arrange a good job for you."

"Whether it's to be the leader of a county or to lead an army alone, it's more convenient than this other commander!"

certainly.

Cao Ang meant to arrange a job for Liu Bei, not to recruit Liu Bei as his subordinate.

After all, Liu Beike's leadership is one of the three iron laws of the late Han Dynasty. Like Lu Bu's worship of his adoptive father, they are both causal weapons with powerful destructive power.

Cao Ang has no intention of breaking with this iron law yet.

…

After hearing the promise made to him by Cao Ang.

If Liu Bei said he was not moved, he would definitely be lying.

After all, although he and Gongsun Zan are classmates, he is now sitting on the bench among Gongsun's army, with neither actual power nor reputation.

In the past, when marching and fighting, Gongsun Zan always relied on his subordinates Yan Gang, Tian Kai and other generals. Like Liu Bei's small auxiliary commanders, he could only take his two good brothers to follow the above generals.

But now Cao Ang opened his mouth.
