Cao Ang accepted Cao Ren's suggestion. Cao Ren's concerns made sense. If he really wanted to go to Yizhou, there might not be many people willing to go with them, including Chen Gong. Without these people, it would be of little significance for him to go to Yizhou.

Cao Ang sent someone to invite Chen Gong, read Cao Cao's letter to Chen Gong, and then waited quietly. Chen Gong repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, but finally shook his head. He disagreed with Cao Ang's actions, and there were several reasons:

First, Cao Cao went to Yizhou, but why did he go? And he was so anxious. He didn't say it or ask Cao Ang to find him, which shows that he himself did not want Cao Ang to go;

Secondly, Cao Ang now has some strength, such as Pan Zhang and Le Jin, but these strengths are all because he is the prefect of Dongjun, and there is no fixed distinction between monarch and ministers. If Cao Ang left Dongjun and went to Yizhou now, the possibility of these people following Cao Ang was limited. After all, Yizhou is not Qingzhou, and it is too far away.

Third, Yuan Shao wanted to take Qingzhou, and it is still unclear how he planned to deal with Yanzhou. If there is a conflict between the father and son, whether it is open or secretly fighting, Yuan Tan must cultivate his own power. With Cao Zhan as a foreign aid, Cao Ang will be the first candidate he considers. Cao Ang has more opportunities to stay under Yuan Tan's command to develop, which is stronger than going to Yizhou.

Cao Ang felt that Chen Gong was right, so he asked Chen Gong for advice. What should I do if Yuan Shao wants to take Qingzhou? Pingyuan County has already taken most of it. Should I give it to Yuan Shao, or should I just turn to Yuan Shao? Chen Gong said, you don’t have to make a decision, let Yuan Tan make a decision. You can do whatever he asks you to do, just follow the orders. You can’t get involved in the fight between them, father and son.

Cao Ang suddenly realized and immediately asked Chen Gong to write a letter to report to Yuan Tan's work.

When Chen Gong was writing the letter, Cao Ang walked out of the tent, raised his head, and looked at Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang was covered in mud, his face was blue, and his robe was also broken, and several holes were cracked. Cao Ren was very strict in implementing military laws. Pan Zhang repeatedly violated the ban and must be severely punished. This whip was not light.

"Wen Gui, is gambling that interesting?"

Pan Zhang opened his eyes, looked at Cao Ang, and grinned. "Ming Mansion has never been gambling, and I don't know the fun of gambling. Why don't you let me down and I bet with you for a while and you will know. The rain is endless, and I can't practice. I'm stuck in the tent every day, and people are almost moldy. It's better to gamble. Winning and losing are not important. What's important is the excitement of the victory and defeat when the victory and defeat are not clear, just like climbing the city to kill the enemy, either life or death, only between the front line..."

Looking at Pan Zhang's fascinated look, Cao Ang was so amused that he asked someone to put Pan Zhang down, and asked him to give him some money to Pan Zhang, asking him to compensate the two soldiers who were beaten by him. Pan Zhang weighed the money bag and laughed: "How about...... Mingfu borrowed me a little more and simply paid off all the gambling debts, and from then on, the two cleared the country."

“How much do you owe?”

"It's more than one hundred gold."

Cao Ang widened his eyes and stared at Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang scratched his head with a silly smile, but he could not see any embarrassment. "Don't worry about Ming Mansion. When I become rich, I will pay you twice as much as possible. I will never default on the capital and profit."

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing. "You are so gambled, why don't I bet with you once. If you win, I won't want this more than 100 yuan. If you lose, follow me in the future, when will you pay off the money and when will you pay back your freedom?"

"Okay, how do you bet?" Pan Zhang nodded excitedly.

Cao Ang said word by word: "Within a year, no gambling with others is allowed, and no form can be done."

The smile on Pan Zhang's face gradually froze, his eyes widened, and he smiled and said with a wry voice: "Mingfu, your gambling method really cost me my life."

"Do you dare to gamble?"

"This..." Pan Zhang was very hesitant and scratched his head hard. The mud on his hair was wet with the rain, flowing down his neck. He looked at Cao Ang's face, which was still childish but very serious, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He also knew that this was Cao Ang who wanted to help him. He gritted his teeth. "Okay, for one year, I will never gamble with others."

"A real man will do what he says." Cao Ang patted Pan Zhang's shoulder and ordered people to withdraw money. There was too much money, which was sent by Wei Zhen himself. Wei Zhen brought two servants and carried a large box. Open the box, and there was a neatly stacked one hundred gold, which was bright and golden, making people unable to move their eyes. Below is half a box of five-zhu coins.

Wei Zhen said to Cao Ang slowly: "Mr. We don't have much cash on hand, and the price is the same every day. We can't spend that money like this."

Cao Ang said: "Thank you, Gong Zhen, for reminding me. But Ji Bu promised a thousand gold, and Pan Wengui only had a hundred gold, so I still took advantage of it."

Wei Zhen looked at Pan Zhang and looked at him disdainfully. He was in charge of the military city and knew very well what Pan Zhang was. Pan Zhang's face turned red by Wei Zhen's eyes. He picked up the box and grabbed the door. Wei Zhen was shocked. He knew how heavy the box was, so he asked the two of them to carry it. Unexpectedly, Pan Zhang could pick it up alone, and he really had the strength to do it.

Pan Zhang held the money box and returned to his tent, opened the lid, picked up a gold ingot, held it in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. After a while, he picked up another handful of money and gently rubbed it in his palm. The gold was very bright, reflecting his face, but it was a little distorted, and even his eyes became a little weird, as if he was contempt, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Pan Zhang put down the gold, held his hands behind his head, and lay on the floor. Thinking of what Cao Ang had just said, he was filled with emotion. After a while, he turned over and sat up, carried the money box, and went to pay off the debts one by one, and paid off all the debts. There was only ten gold left in the box, a thin layer of Wuzhu coins. He came to Cao Ang's big tent, placed the box in front of Cao Ang, and gave Cao Ang a deep bow.

"Mingfu, from now on, I will be a guard in front of the Mingfu tent, and I am willing to work hard for the Mingfu."

Cao Ang hurriedly left the seat and helped Pan Zhang up. "Wen Gui doesn't have to be like this. You are extremely brave and gambled. You can get rid of this problem and be rich and prosperous in the future. How can I let you be a guard?"

"There is no need to refuse in the Ming Mansion. I am worried that I am not strong in my will and cannot fulfill my contract. Being a guard in front of the Ming Mansion's tent is also to remind myself."

Cao Ang thought about it and accepted Pan Zhang's allegiance. "You can be my pre-in-charge for the time being. Your life will be entrusted to Wen Gui."

Pan Zhang responded loudly, then left the tent, changed his armor, and stood in front of Cao Ang's tent with a knife. Not long after he had just stood still, the thief Cao Lejin walked over quickly. Seeing Pan Zhang standing in front of the tent, he couldn't help but look at him more. Pan Zhang blocked his way, pointed to his left shoulder to indicate his identity logo, raised his eyebrows, and looked like he was doing business. Lejin couldn't help laughing and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, I won't break the tent. Please inform the general that Yuan Envoy is here and ask him to come out of the camp to greet him."
