Chapter 65: Is Capturing Zhao Yun Really That Easy?

  Zhang Rui thought of a plan to subdue this man after thinking about the White Horse Plain.

  "General Yan, I've heard that the White Horse Righteous Army is a model of chivalry. I'm truly envious. My lord has also been wanting to build a cavalry unit modeled after the White Horse Righteous Army. Would General Yan be willing to share how they were trained?" Zhang Rui asked.

  When did I think of forming a cavalry team like the White Horse Righteous Army, how didn't I know? What is Zhi Bo playing with? Cao Cao looked at Zhang Rui in confusion, and Zhang Rui blinked at Cao Cao fiercely, making Cao Cao even more confused. What does Zhi Bo want to say?

  "Haha... this is actually not a secret. The White Horse Guards were selected by the master himself, equipped with precious horses, and slowly trained to achieve absolute obedience." Yan Gang's words were simple, but everyone understood that achieving this was even more difficult than ascending to heaven, otherwise there would be many White Horse Guards all over the world.

  It seems that Yan Gang's position in Gongsun Zan's heart is indeed quite heavy, and such a confidential matter has been revealed, and Gongsun Zan did not intend to interrupt Yan Gang's words at all, which shows Yan Gang's position in Gongsun Zan's heart.

  "What about General Gong Sun? Rui has an impolite request and doesn't know whether to mention it or not." This thing must be beaten to the root, for this person's sake Zhang Rui thought.

  "Zhi Bo is too polite, in the past when the Yellow Turbans were defeated, you personally beheaded Zhang Jiao, and your name was known throughout the land. If it weren't for Meng De's brother acting quickly, I would have also invited you to come to Beiping for a visit! Whatever requests you have, just say so."

  "Gongsun General is indeed bold, my master also wants to form a cavalry team like the White Horse Righteous Army, but unfortunately doesn't know the battle tactics. I wonder if Gongsun General can spare some troops and lend me an officer to train in this tactic? Don't worry, it doesn't need to be someone as talented as General Yan, just a small officer from your camp will do." Zhang Rui's heart skipped a beat thinking that he was about to succeed.

  "Yes, brother Bo, Meng De has had this idea for a long time. Unfortunately, there hasn't been anyone under him who understands military strategy. I wonder if he can spare someone from a small school." Cao Cao finally understood now that Zhi Bo had been planning this all along and was hinting at it when he winked at him earlier. It was about the matter they discussed just a few days ago, and he couldn't believe how slow-witted he was.

  "Now that Brother Mengde has spoken, let's not say it's borrowed. I, Gongsun Zan, will directly give a small school to Brother Mengde, so that Brother Mengde's cavalry team can take shape as soon as possible. Which of the small schools under your command do you think is suitable, Brother Zhibo?"

  Gongsun Zan was originally from a noble family and had a generous temperament. It was common for nobles to give each other door guests as gifts. As long as it wasn't to borrow Xian Guang, there were so many small schools under the account that one more or less wouldn't make a difference. Of course, Gongsun Zan didn't know the value of this person, and if he had known, he might not have been so quick to give him away.

  "General Gongsun is indeed straightforward, I'll toast General Gongsun another cup." After finishing the wine, it's natural to talk about the main issue. "Then I'd like to ask General Gongsun to send that last general to my lord."

  Gongsun Zan took a look, didn't recognize him, and was surprisingly young. It seemed that he also had some skills, but as long as it wasn't Yan Gang, then it was fine. With such a small school, his subordinates were probably just a handful.

  It was actually me, Zhao Yun initially joined the White Horse Righteous Army to find his own brother Zhao Feng. He rose to this position because of his bravery in battle. However, Yan Guang saw that Zhao Yun was too capable and feared that he would take his place, so he deliberately kept him at a distance.

  Power is really scary, turning a good general into a petty one. After Shang Yan distanced himself from Zhao Yun, the other generals naturally distanced themselves from Zhao Yun as well. Those who used to think they had potential and intentionally approached their friends are now also silent.

  Cao Cao and Zhang Liao's big name Zhao Yun naturally also heard, seeing Zhang Liao so valued himself, so many people only one eye just picked out himself, can follow Cao Cao of course than follow Gong Sun Zan here suffer strong ah. Just his own when first came to join the army was also for seeking their own brother, oneself do not want to leave with brother but how to do?

  Zhang Rui also saw Zhao Yun's hesitation, but he didn't know what made Zhao Yun hesitate and it wasn't easy to respond.

  Yan Gang felt relieved this time, finally not having to worry about his own position. He must think of a way to keep Zhao Yun at Cao Cao's place. "Zhao Zilong, it's your good fortune that Lord Cao has taken a liking to you. Why aren't you hurrying to thank him? What are you still hesitating for?"

  Z Zhao Yun looked at Yan Liang, he was not a fool, on the contrary, he was extremely intelligent. If he continued to stay in Gongsun Zan's camp, he would inevitably face Yan Liang again. But if he stayed in Cao Cao's camp, he would miss his brother even more. Forget it, he might as well just say it and let Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan decide for themselves.

  "Zhao Yun has been an orphan since childhood, and it was his elder brother who brought him and his sister up. Now that Zhao Yun has joined the army, he is also searching for his brother. If he stays in General Cao's camp, he will not be able to see his brother."

  " Cao's most cherished is the filial person, how can you let General Zhao not see his own brother because of personal reasons? General Zhao should just take what Meng De said as a joke."

  Zhao Yun was deeply moved, and Cao Cao had actually given up his long-held dream of a cavalry unit for this reason. What a kind and sentimental good lord he is! How wonderful it would be if Zhao Yun could serve under him.

  "It's just your brother Zhao Feng, you can rest assured and stay here to help Lord Cao train the elite soldiers. When I return, I'll have your brother and family sent to Chenliu." Yan Guang heard that Cao Cao was going to take back his order, how could this be possible? This Zhao Yun must stay here at all costs. As for Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Feng, in terms of ability, he can only be considered second-rate, a deputy general is nothing to you anyway.

  "Thank you, General Yan." Although Yan Gang was a bit petty and jealous of others' talents, he still kept his word. Zhao Yun, who had followed him for some time, knew this naturally, so these words of gratitude were not false.

  "Alright, since this matter is settled, Zhao Yun, you can stay in Meng De's camp. Your belongings will be sent to you naturally. Meng De, we'll be leaving tomorrow and still have some luggage to pack, so I'll take my leave first." Gong Sun Zan got up after eating his fill and was about to leave.

  "Thank you, brother Bo Gu, this time. Meng De owes you a favor. If there's anything in the future, just give me a shout and I'll do my best to help."

  Gongsun Zan felt that he had gotten a good deal by trading one small fort for a single promise from Cao Cao. While the small forts were as numerous as hairs on an ox, promises from Cao Cao were not easily obtained!

  Gongsun Zan, who was very satisfied with what he had done, naturally did not stay and led his subordinates to walk towards his own camp.
