Xu Huang's surrender surprised Yuan Shang very much. Since this man was captured alive by Ma Chao, he has always been holding his face and never admits his defeat with Yuan Shang, saying that he will never surrender.

Since Yuan Shang pacified the Central Plains, he had to be busy with a lot of things. He never cared about this good general with a stalemate in prison, but instead put him aside.

But who would have thought that under Gan Ning's persuasion, Xu Huang actually surrendered voluntarily, which is a bit surprising.

However, what Gan Ning said was unpredictable, and Yuan Shang felt that he had to ask about it himself.

"Where is Xu Huang now?" Yuan Shang touched his chin and whispered.

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Just wait outside the mansion."

Yuan Shang waved and said, "Since that's the case, let him come in."

When Gan Ning heard the order, he led a gentleman with a gentle appearance and casual clothes in blue shirt into the hall. The person who came was nothing but Xu Huang, one of the five great generals of Cao's army, was from the hall.

Although he had been in prison for a long time, Xu Huang's expression was still good. This may be Yuan Jun's food, but what he wanted in the end was Xu Huang's identity. After all, this person was the key target of the lord's recruitment. Although he was a prisoner, he still never treated him.

The prison guards in the prison paid Xu Huang not only with delicious food and drink, but also had special prison guards who gave him water, took a hot bath, kneaded, pushed and pinched him, and they were just about to have a complete set of health care.

In fact, to be honest, although Xu Huang was loyal to Cao, he was not a fool. He also understood the principle of the general trend, even more than ordinary people.

Moreover, Xu Huang's martial arts and military skills are all excellent in the world. If he dies like this, if others don't say it, he will feel that it is not worth it in his heart.

If the Cao family did not surrender, Xu Huang should have done his best to Cao family and overcome all his integrity. Although he had no resentment, even the entire Cao family, including the Xun family, surrendered to Yuan Shang. What a bullshit here? The Cao family's own people are not willing to die. Who are the Xu Huang who is here to show him?

But the reason why he is so stubborn now is not for anything else... To put it bluntly, it is because of Yuan Shang.

Compared with other Cao generals such as Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, etc. Xu Huang ate less under Yuan Shang's hands, but it does not mean that he has never eaten it!

Xu Huang can be quite experiencing Yuan Shang's methods and shamelessness. If he organizes the Cao generals to do a survey together, everyone will write their experiences on Yuan Shang's methods. Xu Huang can write less than 10,000 words, and probably can compile them to 8,000.

So, every time Xu Huang thought of joining this person, he felt so upset. He couldn't tell why, but in short, he was disgusted.

Therefore, Xu Huang's surrender has been delayed.

It was not until Gan Ning went to prison to meet Xu Huang that things changed slightly.

If Gan Ning went to see Xu Huang, it was because he wanted to recruit talents for Yuan Shang. That would be a big mistake. He was just idle and wanted to tease Xu Huang.

Gan Ning defected to Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang inadvertently told everyone a famous saying from Sun Quan in his previous life.

"Meng De has Zhang Liao, and Gan Xingba is enough to defeat each other!"

Since Yuan Shang said this, Gan Ning has always wanted to meet Zhang Liao. Later in the Battle of Xuzhou. He did see it. After Zhang Liao surrendered, Gan Ning had privately consulted Zhang Liao for martial arts and talked about military tactics. Zhang Liao's skills and unique grasp of the battlefield made Gan Ning very impressed.

Gan Ning praised Zhang Liao more and praised him as the best general in the Central Plains, but he received a humble answer from Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao said to Gan Ning: "I can't be the first in the Central Plains in this skill, but Xu Huang and Xu Gongming just deserved this title."

Zhang Liao praised Xu Huang, which was also a humble word. I didn’t expect that Gan Ning, who had a very good memory, actually remembered this matter firmly.

So, he began to think about Xu Huang again.

After Xu Huang was captured by Ma Chao alive, Gan Ning ran to the prison without any trouble, saying that he wanted to compete with Xu Huang. Thanks to Xu Huang's character, although he was a prisoner, he was also proud and unafraid of him. He immediately responded to Gan Ning's various challenges. The two of them competed in prison and discussed military tactics and formations. Xu Huang's ability surprised Gan Ning again and admired him very much. The thief leader almost wanted to hang Gaoxiang in the prison and became a brother of a different surname with Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was also very impressed by the swearing thief leader's ability. Later, during the conversation, he learned about Gan Ning's origin and knew that he was originally a gangster of the Yangtze River. Yuan Shang had to privately submit to Jingzhou and sincerely hired him before he entered the officialdom.

This has changed Xu Huang's prejudice against Yuan Shang a little. Just imagine that even Gan Ning has great skills, he is willing to accept it as a general with the family of Yuan Shang's fifth generation and three dukes. I think that the only one with the surname Yuan is really talented, not as good as ordinary people.

In this way, after Gan Ning's persuasion of several visits to the prison, Xu Huang agreed to try to talk to Yuan Shang.

…………

…………

"Xu Huang is here, I have met the general." Xu Huang asked casually and asked casually, not calling Yuan Shang an official position in the court, nor calling Yuan Shang the lord. He just called the word "General", which shows that he was still a little disgusted.

What kind of person is Yuan Shang? After so many years of pulling out the roots, his hair is empty. How could he not hear the Ming Zun in Xu Huang's words?

Sure enough, it was a fool to rely on the barbarian Gan Ning who wanted to recover this good general.

"Sit down."

Yuan Shang casually raised his hand and pointed to the collapse of the seat on the side of the hall.

Xu Huang stood stubbornly and shook his head and said, "General is noble, Huang is just a prisoner below the level, how dare you sit with the general?"

Yuan Shang leaned his chin and said happily: "The person sitting in front of you today is not the Grand General Sima, and you are not a prisoner. Let's just sit down quietly and chat, what do you think?"

Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Although you and me have many meetings, they have no friendship. Is this inappropriate title?"

Yuan Shang said seriously: "So, I use the word "old friend" rather than friends."

Xu Huang pondered for a moment, then threw away his robe and sat quietly on the side of Yuan Shang.

"In my impression, our first meeting should be in Wuchao, right?" Yuan Shang said with a smile.

Xu Huang touched the three long beards and thought for a while, then nodded.

"At that time, General Xu Huang and General Xu were in his prime, he was so majestic and invincible. At first glance, he felt like he was a good general, which was very enviable."

Xu Huang glanced at Yuan Shang and said bluntly: "At that time, Yuan Shang was young, he was treacherous and cunning. He was insidious and vicious. A cold arrow shot straight on Xu Chu's butt, but he didn't dare to forget it."

Yuan Shang: “…………”

After a long silence.

"General Gongming has prejudice against me?"

Xu Huang looked directly at Yuan Shang and said, "Don't I have prejudices against you?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be."

Xu Huang couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Why?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Your prejudice against me is just because I use any means and do things insidiously. But I dare to ask General Xu, who is the one who is the main person today, does not act ruthlessly or insidiously?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang paused and said, "If you don't say it far away, just say that the two masters you served were Yang Feng, who was under Li Jue. He was just dissatisfied with the reward and rebelled with Song Guo, and then defected to Yuan Shu, and was killed by Liu Bei for disturbing the people. What he did was not insidious, not a villain?"

"Let's talk about Cao Cao, Meng De is the most important thing in the world! The means of coercion of the Han Emperor belong to him are his deepest. I would rather let me betray the people of the world than let the people of the world betray me. The power to cut hair is the first to betray him, and the first to betray him, and to quench his thirst is his deceit. Let me ask General Gongming... Compared with your two old masters, what I, Yuan Shang, did is really so unforgivable? It is not necessarily?"

When Xu Huang heard this, he remained silent and said nothing.

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, the treacherous and cunning you are talking about is just because you have been plotted by me and have nowhere to vent. This is not a prejudice, but a kind of resentment, but I like this resentment. The more you stubbornly blame me, the more you can say that I am the real winner!"

Xu Huang opened his mouth when he heard this, trying to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "If the general does not want to be a general in our army, I will not force you. However, there is a lack of guard under my tent. If the general wants to, he can temporarily fill this position. After all, the general still needs to support his family. It is inappropriate to be idle at home, especially since I heard that the general has a son and a daughter. The general can hunger himself, but he can't starve his children, right?"

Xu Huang was stubborn for a moment when he heard this, but finally sighed and nodded.

After all, your arms can't resist your thighs. Since you have no meaning of death, you have to let go of some things.

Sima Yi was behind Yuan Shang, and suddenly had a whim when he heard this, saying, "Lord, I heard that General Xu's daughter has never been married. He is beautiful and virtuous. The brother of the lord Yuan Mai has not married yet. Today, in front of the two families, I might as well be a matchmaker and set a link for General Xu's daughter and Yuan Mai. The Yuan and Xu families have a relationship with each other and Qin and Jin. What do you think?"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized what Sima Yi meant.

Since ancient times, we have formed clans and formed clans for personal gain and won people's hearts. In addition to using money and official positions as bait, marriage is also a very common way. After all, two families formed a family of children and relatives, even if they are related, they are tied to a boat. If they turn against each other in the future, they will never kill their in-laws or brother-in-law, right? That's too inhumane.

Yuan Shang thought about it and felt that based on Xu Huang's character, the girl he educated should be wrong. He then said, "What do General Xu think of Zhongda's proposal?"

Xu Huang frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "General, it's not that I, Xu Huang, is it just that your younger brother Yuan Mai's reputation is really not very good. Although the Xu family's identity is not as good as the Yuan family, I will not push my daughter into the fire pit."

Xu Huang said he didn't want to, and Yuan Shang didn't care. After all, he still had a barrier in his heart and he never surrendered himself. How could he marry you so easily?

But if Xu Huang doesn't want to do it, but if he talks about his brother's virtue, Yuan Shang was a little unhappy at this moment.

Although what Xu Huang said is true, Yuan Shang also knows what kind of bullshit his brother is, but only because he found it himself, what is the matter with others saying it?

My brother, it doesn’t matter how hard it is when you close the door, no one else can do it!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but get angry.

"General Xu, I don't like to listen to you, what does it mean to push your daughter into the fire pit? I think my brother should look good, be of quality, not to mention both civil and military. The most rare thing is to respect benevolence and righteousness! He is the prince charming and dream lover of all girls in Hebei. I don't agree to many famous girls from aristocratic families to come to be his concubine! Why is he not famous when you are here?"

Xu Huang grinned when he heard this, thinking that Yuan Shang's face was really thicker. The reputation of Yuan Zhui was so stinky that he was not alone. Why did he get into Yuan Shang's mouth turn black and white, and there was no distinction between right and wrong?

"General Yuan, don't blame me, but my name is really not very good. Besides, the forced melon is not sweet either..."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "General Xu, most of the things he heard about are false. How can the rumors in the market be believed? Have you ever seen my brother? Don't talk nonsense before..."

"Report!"

Yuan Shang was just talking, but he saw a guard hurried to the hall and bowed to Yuan Shang, saying, "Lord, something is not good! A fire broke out in the Qingstone Street west of Xuchang City! The fire was very big! He also quickly dispatched troops to the lord to put out the fire!"

"A street in the west of the city caught fire?" Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this and said, "What's going on? Who did it?"

The guard swallowed and said, "It's the fourth young master Yuan Mai..."

“…………”

After hearing this, Xu Huang's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and Yuan Shang staggered and almost fell from his seat to the ground. Fortunately, Sima Yi supported him in time and comforted him repeatedly.

"Yuan...Yuan Mai? He has something wrong! Why are you setting fire to the street?"

The guard said carefully: "The west of the city is the local prostitute and the gathering place for brothels. The fourth young master and Deng Ai and Jiang Wei just arrived in Xuchang today. They thought of seeing the people's conditions. As a result, the brothel girls on that street looked unsatisfactory. They either had three pounds or two ounces, or had bumps on their faces, or had big noses and clowns with clowns, the fourth young master was furious and said that in Xuchang's big city, they couldn't even find a serious bitch. They were such a despicable bad guy, and they were also embarrassed to come out to prostitute. So the celebrity ordered all the kilns and sons on Qingshi Street to comfort Confucius' spirit in heaven..."

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face suddenly turned into pig liver color, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were giggling.

Xu Huang, who was beside him, glanced at him gently, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a "snap" sip, which was very comfortable.

After a long time, when Yuan Shang sighed, he said helplessly: "General Xu is right. The forced melon is not sweet. I'll forget about the marriage."

"What the general said is very good."
