Before Yang Ling left Jingzhou, he told Cai Yu that when Liu Biao sent people to Wancheng in the future, he must strongly recommend Cai Hao as the general.
the reason is simple.
Cai Mao and Cai Yu are siblings, and they are greedy for money.
If he leads the troops, Yang Ling can capture Wancheng without any effort.
But I didn't expect that Liu Biao would send his nephew Liu Pan to come with him.
"Why did Liu Biao send Liu Pan as your deputy to General Degui? Could it be that he was suspicious of you?"
Yang Ling said with surprise.
"In the final analysis, this is still your fault, sir."
Cai Mao said helplessly,
"It was you who asked Huang Zhong to accompany you, but Zhou Mu simply asked Liu Pan to accompany you."
have to.
It turned out to be my own fault.
Yang Ling suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
He had previously written a letter to Cai Yu, asking Huang Zhong to come to Wancheng with Cai Mao, in order to win him over.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
"General, relax, even if there is an extra Liu Pan, there won't be any big problem."
Yang Ling smiled, took out a box from the side and opened the lid.
I saw that it was golden inside and full of jewels!
Cai Mao almost lost his eyesight!
"These are all greeting gifts for the general."
Yang Ling handed the box over with a smile.
Cai Hao was not polite to him, he hugged him directly, patted his chest and said,
"Sir, please don't worry. I will cooperate as you ask me to."
Yang Ling pouted.
What a money-minded guy.
But if Cai Mao hadn't been such a person, he wouldn't have been able to easily capture Wancheng.
Whatever.
Just think of it as your betrothal gift to Cai Yu.
Yang Ling thought for a while and whispered,
"What would you think if Liu Pan was killed?"
Cai Mao was immediately surprised, waved his hands quickly and said,
"This... this is inappropriate. How should I report to the state pastor after I go back?"
"General Degui, don't be anxious, just listen to me coming slowly..."
Yang Ling expressed his thoughts in detail,
"What do you think, General?"
"this……"
Cai Mao was still hesitant.
After all, Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew. If he really kills him, the risk is really high!
When Yang Ling saw this, he smiled and said,
"General Degui, after all, we are one family. Mr. Cao won't treat you badly even if he takes Wancheng."
"Besides, after Liu Pan dies, you can annex his troops!"
Cai Mao looked at the treasures in the box, thought about Yang Ling's words, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded,
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
"So good!"
Yang Ling was very happy.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Cai Hao stood up and left.
Just when Yang Ling was about to go to Cao Ang and tell him the content of his conversation with Cai Mao, he heard a powerful old voice outside the hospital,
"General Huang Zhong, please see Mr. Chen Jinnan!"
Huang Zhong is here?
Yang Ling's heart moved, then he got up and walked out, opening the courtyard door.
"After I said goodbye to General Huang a few days ago, I was very concerned about the old general. I didn't expect that the old general would come to visit me now."
He said and warmly welcomed Huang Zhong in.
When the two sides separated last time, Yang Ling said that the two would meet again soon, but Huang Zhong didn't believe it at the time.
But they didn't expect that less than half a month later, the two would meet again.
"How did sir know that we would meet again?"
Huang Zhong couldn't help but said curiously.
Nonsense, your job transfer was all arranged by me, how could I not know?
Yang Ling just smiled without explaining.
When Huang Zhong saw this, he stopped asking questions. Instead, he pondered for a moment and directly stated his intention.
"Last time, sir, he said there was a way to cure the dog's disease. I wonder what it was?"
Sure enough, just like in history, Huang Zhong, who had a son at an old age, valued his only son Huang Xu very much!
In this way, it shouldn't be a problem for me to win him over.
Yang Ling did not answer directly, but chuckled and said,
"I wonder if the old general has heard of the saying that there is no free lunch in the world?"
Huang Zhong had naturally never heard of this sentence, but he immediately understood what Yang Ling meant.
"If you want money, sir, just ask for it, and I will sell it to you, and I will get it for you."
"No! What I want is not money."
Yang Ling shook his head.
"what is that?"
"What I want is far away but right in front of me."
Yang Ling said, his eyes falling on Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was startled when he heard this.
"I?"
"Yes, what I want is you, General!"
"This this……"
Huang Zhong murmured for a long time, his face turned red and he said,
"Sir, I'm old and really can't do it anymore. Why don't I go back and find a few handsome young men and then deliver them to you, sir?"
"The old general misunderstood!"
Yang Ling looked dumbfounded and quickly explained,
"I want you to come over and serve Duke Cao!"
"So that's it!"
Huang Zhong was also relieved!
Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, he has heard that many dignitaries have the habit of Long Yang and the habit of cutting off their sleeves!
Hearing what Yang Ling said was so ambiguous, he just assumed that Yang Ling was also that kind of person, and that he had stronger tastes and liked a lot of older people.
Fortunately it was a misunderstanding!
"What do you think, veteran general?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"I'm afraid my general won't let you go."
He now belongs to Liu Pan, who admires him very much and will never let him go to Cao Cao.
"This is easy to say, I'll take care of it!"
Yang Ling patted her chest in response.
After a while, Liu Pan will be dead, so there is no need to worry.
Huang Zhong showed hesitation on his face and couldn't help but said,
"Why would sir make such a request?"
"It's very simple. I appreciate the bravery of the old general! The old general will be over fifty soon. Is he just willing to serve under Liu Pan and do nothing, instead of making great contributions and achieving great achievements?"
Yang Ling advised.
Due to disease, war, famine and other factors, ancient people could not live long.
For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the average life span of people was only twenty-two years.
Huang Zhong will be fifty years old soon. He will still be considered a prime man in later generations, but he is already an old man in this world!
After listening to Yang Ling's words, Huang Zhong remained silent, but his eyes flickered and his expression was complicated.
He has been diligently practicing martial arts since he was a child, so naturally he is aiming to make achievements!
Yang Ling saw that Huang Zhong was a little moved and continued to smile,
"Surely the old general has also heard that Duke Cao is thirsty for talents? With your ability, as long as you go to join him, you will definitely be reused!"
In fact, for Huang Zhong, whether he is loyal to Liu Biao or Cao Cao is actually the same.
Although Cao Cao's reputation is a little bad, he still welcomes the emperor and represents the orthodoxy of the court.
If it is true as Yang Ling said, if he goes to seek refuge in the past, not only will he be reused, but his son's illness will also be cured!
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong no longer hesitated and nodded heavily,
"Okay, I promise sir!"
When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
The Five Tiger Generals were overjoyed to win over Huang Zhong, and even poached the big-eared thief in advance.
What a pleasure!
