At the end of Chapter 52, General Zhang Liao is willing to go through fire and water for the general!
Zhang Liao could have such a reaction.
Cao Ang felt that half of the effect had been achieved by suppressing his desire first.
Now that the suppressing part is done, the next step is to see how to lift it up.
This part is easier to handle.
Because Cao Ang possesses a magical weapon that no one else has - the Emperor!
After Zhang Liao bowed, Cao Ang quickly stood up and held Zhang Liao's arms with both hands.
"That's so polite, that's so polite! Wen Yuan, sit down quickly!"
"Now that you are under my command, you will be one of my own from now on. Now I have a big task to entrust to you. I wonder if you dare to do it?"
After pressing Zhang Liao back to his seat, Cao Ang simply wiped the table, then poured Zhang Liao another bowl of tea soup and said with a smile.
Zhang Liao immediately sat upright.
With a serious look on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "As long as it is the general's order, no matter whether you dare to do it or not, Liao will obey the order!"
Cao Ang patted the back of Zhang Liao's hand and said with an even brighter smile: "This matter is quite dangerous. Please listen to what I have to say before making a decision."
After Zhang Liao nodded solemnly.
Cao Ang casually turned out the map of Luoyang City that he carried with him every day, and then spread it out in front of Zhang Liao.
"According to the information I learned from Dong Zhuo, he plans to put the emperor and the queen mother under house arrest in the North Palace after forcing him to abdicate."
"Although I don't know exactly when he will attack the two venerables, it must be within the next few months."
"After all, if the King Chenliu he recommended wants to secure the throne, he must eliminate all other factors that may lead to instability, and a few months is already long enough, so long that the eyes of all officials in the court may no longer be paying attention.
The Queen Mother and her son."
"So I estimate that he will take action within the next three months, and what I have to do is to rescue the Queen Mother and Jin Shang from the North Palace within three months."
"Do you dare to do this?"
In fact, Cao Ang knew the specific time.
Dong Zhuo was not a man who could endure his temper.
At the beginning of the abolition, it was only September and he had already taken action to kill Queen Mother He.
In January of the following year, Liu Bian was poisoned and killed.
He said three months to Zhang Liao just to make things sound more reasonable.
…
One word comes out immediately.
It’s as if it’s earth-shattering!
Zhang Liao looked at Cao Ang with shock in his eyes, and suddenly felt his scalp was numb.
This is too courageous!
How dare you secretly seize the Queen Mother and Her Majesty from the palace?
Dong Zhuo was not a fool.
Given this guy's cautious character, since the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are under house arrest in a certain place, they must be under strict supervision and heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave easily.
How can we transport two living people out from under heavy guard?
This is definitely a very technical and extremely difficult matter.
To be honest, it's very dangerous.
Participating in something like this is definitely like licking blood on the edge of a knife and dancing on the tip of a spear.
If you are not careful, your body will be broken into pieces, your head will be missing, and even your family and friends will be implicated.
But after the shock.
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Liao's face again, and even the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This matter is both a danger and an opportunity.
What a huge opportunity!
As long as the task of rescuing His Majesty and the Queen Mother from the palace is completed, as a person involved in it, my name will definitely go down in history.
Moreover, if the two sages have a chance to return to the court in the future, Zhang Liao will definitely be promoted to an official position, a noble title, and be granted the title of Marquis.
As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.
If you want to achieve success and become famous, you will inevitably do dangerous things.
Isn't it dangerous to lead troops to fight?
Arrows were flying randomly on the battlefield, and even the general in the army who was stationed at the rear might be shot, let alone a small army commander like him.
In this case, wouldn't it be more worthwhile to do a bigger thing and gain more achievements under the same premise of experiencing danger?
Besides, Zhang Liao believed that this matter was not that dangerous. Since Cao Ang dared to make such a plan, he had a certain degree of confidence.
It's impossible to do it blindly with your eyes closed.
It's more or less a careful plan, and a bit of good hands and eyes, but if you execute one part of it yourself, the risk is at most half and half.
Then the price/performance ratio is too high.
He was a martial artist with no family background, and he didn't know any powerful teachers or classmates. If he didn't have the opportunity, how many years would it take for him to rise from a small army to become a commander?
Now that General Cao puts such a big thing in front of him and lets him choose, this is not only a test, but more of a gift, a sign of great importance to himself.
After all, with his father's position as the right-wing general, it is definitely not difficult to select some loyal and capable soldiers under his command.
Who doesn’t want opportunities?
Even if they risk their lives, there will definitely be people rushing to complete such a task.
This shows how much General Cao trusts him. What reason does he have to live up to others' high expectations?
Of course, if Cao Ang knew what Zhang Liao thought, he would probably snicker.
He dared to choose Zhang Liao as soon as he met him, just because he knew this character well.
If it were a military commander whose name he didn't know, and given him ten courages, he wouldn't dare to entrust such a big thing to him. It would just be an old man who hangs himself because he doesn't want to live too long.
Not to mention others.
In short, Zhang Liao has made up his mind.
You must take on this mission.
Somewhat excited, he took two deep breaths and licked his dry lips with his tongue. Then Zhang Liao stood up resolutely and once again cupped his hands and said.
"Thanks to the general for being so important to me, and not giving up my humble status, I am willing to entrust you with such a big thing. Liao is willing to go through fire and water for the general, no matter what!"
…
Beat it with a stick and feed it with sweet dates.
Using a two-pronged approach, Zhang Liao was instantly brainwashed by Cao Ang, and now he was really submissive.
He was originally a person who abided by the rules and was loyal to his superiors. Now he was even more loyal to Cao Ang and full of the spirit of being willing to dedicate himself.
Presumably, as long as Cao Ang gives the order, Zhang Liao will definitely be willing to fight bravely for the benefit of him and even the entire Cao family.
Seeing Zhang Liao in such a state.
Cao Ang was so happy that he couldn't help laughing three times in his heart.
In this way, the younger version of a famous general has stood firmly behind him.
This will become the strongest foundation for him to build his team.
He stood up.
He also bowed to Zhang Liao and bowed in return.
Then he said sincerely: "Since you are willing to follow me sincerely, then you and I should be like brothers in life and death, and we don't want to be in trouble with each other!"
After that, the two of them replaced the wine with tea and drank it all in one gulp.
…
The relationship between king and minister has been determined.
Cao Ang rerolled the map and then solemnly warned: "You must keep this matter secret. Now you have to wait for the opportunity. I will send someone to inform you when I need you!"
After Zhang Liao solemnly agreed.
General Cao Ang entrusted him with all the big and small things, then turned and left the camp.
…
Chapter completed!
