Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were childhood friends and had been sworn friends since childhood. They even worked together to steal other people's brides.

From then on, Cao Cao fell in love with other people's wives.

After hearing what Cao Cao said, Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei and the others and snorted coldly,

"You three are so bold! Come on, arrest them!"

Following Yuan Shao's order, the surrounding soldiers had already surrounded the three Liu Bei brothers!

"Who dares to touch my big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both roared and raised their weapons!

The atmosphere was tense for a moment!

Yang Ling saw it and sneered secretly in his heart.

Big-eared thief, this is what you get for offending me!

"Leader, wait!"

A dignified general in military uniform emerged from the crowd.

Yuan Shao glanced at him and frowned slightly,

"What does Grand Administrator Gongsun want?"

Yes, this is none other than Gongsun Zan, the white-horse general who was so powerful outside the Great Wall.

"Reporting to the alliance leader, this is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. He is my fellow disciple, and the other two are his sworn brothers."

Gongsun Zan quickly introduced Liu Bei's identity.

"this……"

A look of hesitation appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

On one side were Cao Cao's subordinates, and on the other were Gongsun Zan's fellow disciples. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with them.

Gongsun Zan saw this and apologized to Cao Cao with a smile,

"Brother Meng De, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Can you give me a favor? I will hold a banquet in person to express my apology to Mr. Cao and this gentleman!"

Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Bei would have a close relationship with Gongsun Zan.

As a result, if he wants to stand up for Yang Ling, he will inevitably fall out with Gongsun Zan.

Before the coalition forces could confront Dong Zhuo, would they have to split internally first?

"What do you mean, sir?"

Cao Cao looked at Yang Ling and asked in a low voice.

Now that Gongsun Zan has come forward to plead for Liu Bei, it is no longer possible for him to deal with Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

It's better to borrow the donkey down the slope and think of another way later.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling said calmly,

"Since Grand Administrator Gongsun has come forward, how dare I refuse to give him this face?"

After saying this, he greeted Dian Wei and walked away.

Cao Cao bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and quickly followed Yang Ling.

When the other princes saw this, they also dispersed.

The storm disappeared into nothing.

"gentlemen!"

Cao Cao quickly ran forward, walked to Yang Ling's side, and then smiled and said,

"What grudge do you have with Liu Bei that makes you so angry?"

"Mr. Cao doesn't know, then Liu Bei is a hypocritical villain! I am loyal to him, but he treats me like that!"

With an angry look on his face, Yang Ling told Cao Cao exactly how he had defected to Liu Bei.

After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly understood!

I see!

Most talented people like Yang Ling are arrogant and arrogant.

He was full of enthusiasm for Liu Bei, but what he got in exchange was Zhang Fei's repayment and Liu Bei's favoritism.

That's okay, today we met by chance and was provoked by Zhang Fei.

No wonder he was so angry today and lost all control!

He couldn't hurt Yang Ling's heart like Liu Xuande did.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao patted Yang Ling on the shoulder and said seriously,

"Sir, please rest assured that this matter will not go away like this. I will definitely ask Grand Administrator Gongsun and Liu Xuande to give an explanation."

Hearing what he said, Yang Ling felt much better.

Look, Cao Cao's level is far above that of Liu Bei!

The group returned to the camp and sat around for a while, when someone came to report that Gongsun Zan had sent someone to see Cao Cao.

"Let him in."

Cao Cao nodded.

After a while, a young man eight feet tall and majestic in appearance walked into the camp.

He raised his hands to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice,

"I have met Mr. Cao. My eunuch ordered me to come and invite you and Mr. Yang to a banquet."

"Sir, are you willing to go? If you don't want to go, then I won't go either."

Cao Cao looked at Yang Ling and asked softly.

Yang Ling did not answer him, and his eyes fell on the young man sent by Gongsun Zan.

This man's appearance is extraordinary, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

He said tentatively,

"May I ask your surname?"

"You're welcome, sir."

The young man once again handed over his hands and said respectfully,

"My name is Zhao Yun, with the courtesy name Zilong. I am just a young general of Baima Yicong under Grand Administrator Gongsun."

Let me go, the famous victorious generals Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong?!

Yang Ling opened his mouth wide with a look of surprise on his face!

According to the timeline, Zhao Yun should still be in Hebei at this time and has not yet defected to Gongsun Zan. How could he meet him here?

Could it be that his arrival affected the course of history?

Cao Cao on the side saw Yang Ling standing there stunned, unable to recover for a long time, and couldn't help but said,

"Sir, is there something wrong?"

"Ah? No! No!"

"Then shall we go to Grandmaster Gongsun's banquet?"

Cao Cao asked again.

"Go, of course!"

Yang Ling agreed without even thinking about it.

No matter why Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan in advance, since he encountered him, he must find ways to subdue him!

It happened that Gongsun Zan was about to step forward and act as the peacemaker for Liu Bei.

This is the perfect opportunity!

…

Gongsun Zan in the military camp.

"Xuande, look at Cao Mengde's attitude towards Yang Ling. He attaches great importance to him. When they come over later, you have to apologize to him and expose this matter."

Gongsun Zan warned.

"Xuande naturally understands my brother's good intentions."

Liu Bei nodded and smiled.

"That bastard Yang Ling, if I had known I would have stabbed him to death with a spear!"

Zhang Fei said angrily.
