The next day's time.
Located in the military camp on the eastern outskirts of Luoyang City.
Cao Ang held high the seal of Captain Huben and took out the documents appointed by the imperial court to show them to the many officers present.
In order to let Cao Ang seize the time to help him with things, Dong Zhuo was so considerate that he sent someone to visit the house early in the morning and delivered these things.
Cao Ang had nothing to do, so he naturally took his things to the military camp to select soldiers and horses.
Thanks to Lu Bu's leadership and help, the whole process did not take much time, and the officers and generals everywhere did not dare to obstruct it in the slightest.
After all, their twists and turns are of no use in front of Lu Bu, the God of War. If they delay his brother's work, he can just poke him with a halberd.
Quite unreasonable.
But when he read out the order and showed his legitimacy, Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd under his arms, folded his hands in front of his chest, and stood firmly behind Cao Ang, like a big bodyguard.
How dare anyone in the army make a mistake?
As soon as he saw the document, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Cao Ang, looking like he was already impressed by him.
Despite this, Cao Ang still said loudly: "In the future, we will all be brothers Paoze, and I won't talk so much nonsense, just a few sentences."
"First, my father, Cao Mengde, currently holds the position of Lieutenant General in the Right Center. If you follow me, you will have a bright future!"
"Second, you have enough money and food. As long as you follow my orders and obey orders, you will have everything that belongs to you. I, Cao Ang, will never treat my own people badly!"
Just two sentences to do what you say.
Everyone in the camp was immediately convinced.
None of them are senior generals. Among such a group of people, the one with the highest military rank is a military commander.
For middle- and lower-level military officers, any talk of lofty ideals, titles, titles, or generals are all fictitious.
As long as they can get military pay, have food to eat, kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield, and be promoted to a minor official and receive some rewards, it is enough to be called a very promising army.
Who should I follow?
Some of the officers who appeared here were formerly under General He Jin and defected to Dong Zhuo, and some were from the Imperial Guards in Beijing.
No matter what the composition is, compared to Dong Zhuo's direct descendants of the Xiliang Army, they are all second-class soldiers.
Instead of doing this, why not follow Captain Cao and have a good time, regardless of his rich background, money and food?
In an instant, the loyalty and morale of the generals soared, and they wanted to bow down and worship again.
…
After all the generals got to know the new boss, they exited the camp one by one. Only the military commander was stopped by Cao Ang and sat aside before he could go out.
Then Cao Ang turned around, raised his hands and smiled at Lu Bu, who had been putting up a front for him as a protector.
"If it hadn't been for my brother's help today, I might not have been able to take charge of the military camp so easily!"
Lu Buhun waved his hand carelessly.
"Between you and me, brothers, what are you talking about? Besides, you command an army as a foster father, so it's only natural for me to help you."
"These old veterans in the army are difficult to deal with, but I will hold the line for you, and you just beat them up a lot. I think they will become more honest in the future."
"Today is over. Brother Yu still has important things to attend to, so I won't waste any more time here. I'll invite you to my house for a drink someday, and you'll definitely appreciate it!"
In fact, Lu Bu had nothing important to do.
He was now familiar with the business, and Dong Zhuo controlled everything in Luoyang City. There was no conflict, so there would be nothing important happening.
Simply because I don't want to be in the same room with that military commander.
I felt awkward and uncomfortable.
Although he had abandoned a lot of things since the moment he swung Fang Tian's painted halberd and slashed it at Ding Yuan's neck.
But facing old friends from the past, Lu Bu still couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
In order to prevent himself from staying any longer, the scene became a bit unpleasant and it was difficult for Cao Ang to behave himself, so Lu Bu simply chose to run away.
Everyone will not meet each other from now on, just pretend that they didn't know each other before, so that they won't make themselves feel uncomfortable.
…
After Lu Bu leaves.
Cao Ang waved his hand and motioned for the army commander to sit in front of him, and then asked with a smile on his face.
"Does Wen Yuan know who left just now?"
Yes, this military commander is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the nemesis of the Wu Kingdom, the lifelong psychological shadow of Emperor Sun of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and the existence that can stop the children of Jiangdong from crying at night.
It is said that he is the nemesis of Dabao, Zhang Liao is the nemesis of Sun Shiwan, and the Kingdom of Wu is completely defeated.
The land of Jiangdong can be determined with a snap of the fingers!
Closer to home, Cao Ang asked Dong Zhuo to choose his own troops this time, for Zhang Liao.
As the saying goes, eight hundred tigers marched across the river, and one hundred thousand Wu soldiers returned in fear. In the battle of Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao directly entered the Wu Temple.
In addition, there is the famous Battle of Bailang Mountain, which is even more famous all over the world.
In addition to these two classic battles, Zhang Liao had countless battles, large and small, in his life, enough to qualify him as a top-notch general in the world.
Although he is still young now, less than two years older than himself, he will definitely not be able to lead troops in battles to the heights he will later achieve.
But this is where my talent lies!
After being trained in wars under his own hands, he can become the pillar of his own strength.
For such a powerful and easy-to-recruit general, how could Cao Ang let him go so easily? He had to leave Luoyang City with him no matter what.
I heard Cao Ang's question.
Zhang Liao did not hesitate and answered very decisively: "General, the person who has just been talented is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. He was an old friend with his subordinates. They served together under the command of Lord Ding Yuan of Dingfu."
"In the fifth year of Zhongping, General Mo was ordered to lead his troops to Luoyang to support General He Jin. Since then, he has had little contact with him."
Regarding Cao Ang's questions, Zhang Liao answered in great detail, including his relationship with Lu Bu and some subsequent developments.
This is not to say that Zhang Liao is very eager to talk.
But out of respect for the superior, he answered honestly when asked by the leader.
That is to say, a person who follows rules like this will always stick to his bed. If He Jin dies, he will be with Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo dies, he will be with Lu Bu. If Lu Bu dies, he will be with Cao Cao.
They usually follow passively and are directly recruited together with their own troops, without taking the initiative to choose.
Such a general is very troublesome in the hands of others, because he will not surrender and kill his master, so he will not get such a strong general.
But when he is under his command, it is enough to surprise people, because he does what is forbidden and will not betray.
Unless he hangs in front of him, Zhang Liao will not declare surrender.
He's good at fighting, he's obedient, and his recruitment threshold is low.
This is really... an all-powerful general!
Of course, the most important thing right now is to calm down.
After all, it is not enough to be obedient. What Cao Ang wants is for Zhang Liao to exert his own initiative, gradually grow into a famous general, and be able to take the initiative on the battlefield.
This requires Zhang Liao to agree with Cao Ang from the bottom of his heart.
After thinking about it for a while.
Cao Ang slowly said: "Wen Yuan knows that it is a blessing for you to switch to my subordinates today!"
Zhang Liao: "???"
…
