Xiao Pei has guarded it!

When Cao Ang led more than 20 horsemen into the city in triumph, at the gate of the city, Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang also hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other in fear.

"Childe was in danger before, and I didn't go out of the city to save him, so I ask Childe to forgive me!"

When Cao Ang was ambushed by the forbidden, Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang on the city wall were not enough troops, and they would definitely be wiped out if they attacked rashly, so they did not come out.

It is precisely because of this that now that Cao Ang has successfully triumphed, the two of them are naturally full of horror and have pleaded guilty to this Cao Ang.

It's just that after really seeing these two generals, Cao Ang didn't have any displeasure, not only that, but also laughed.

"Haha! The two generals put the overall situation first, and they really have the style of generals, if you rashly went out of the city at that time, I am afraid that Yu Ban would not have withdrawn from the army, what are you guilty of! ”

Cao Ang can also understand that these two did not go out of the city to rescue him at that time, after all, if it weren't for the two of them being sober-minded, I'm afraid that even if Liu Qin threatened the forbidden phase, then Yu Ban would not necessarily retreat.

What's more, from such a response, Cao Ang also saw the ability of these two people, with such a cool mind, these two people will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future!

Because of this, Cao Ang naturally did not have any displeasure with these two people at the moment, and hurriedly pulled the two of them up.

"Today, Xiao Pei was able to successfully collect it, and the two generals contributed a lot!"

After finishing speaking, this Cao Ang took the two of them back to Xiaopei City together.

The people in the city saw that Cao Ang led the soldiers defending the city to repel Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army, and they all showed surprise at this time, obviously they didn't expect that under such a disparity in strength, the famous Yu Ban would retreat.

For ordinary people, this is just a topic of chatter after dinner, but for others, Cao Ang's repulsion at the moment is closely related to them.

Almost when Cao Ang returned to the palace with the two generals Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang on the front foot, Cao Anmin also hurriedly came and reported something to Cao Ang.

"Childe, there are more than a dozen businessmen outside the mansion who presented a letter of worship, saying that it is to celebrate the victory of the Childe's army, and they plan to discuss with the Childe about the contribution of the army!"

Cao Ang invited these merchants to fund the army before, and the merchants who really came to Cao Ang's mansion were only three people, and even if they were these three people, the reason why they came was also because they were worried that Cao Ang would kill them.

In fact, in the eyes of those extremely shrewd businessmen who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they are not optimistic about this Cao Ang, and although this Cao Ang is currently in Xiaopei, after Cao Cao sent troops to suppress it, he could only be captured and taken back in disgrace.

However, the battle under Xiaopei City turned out to be that Yu Ban led the army to retreat, which did not worry those merchants.

They ignored Cao Ang before, because they felt that this Cao Ang couldn't stay in Xiaopei for too long, so they were not afraid of him.

But now that Cao Ang has guarded Xiao Pei, he will definitely take root in this Xiao Pei in the future, once they are still so indifferent to Cao Ang, Cao Ang will hold a grudge against them in the future, will they still be able to mix in this Xiao Pei?

These people are smart businessmen, and because of this, they know that there are many people who seem to be running around for profit.

Once Cao Ang suppressed them, there would definitely be other merchants who would follow them one after another, and when they joined forces with Cao Ang, perhaps the Nuo Da foundation they occupied in this Xiaopei would be lost!

Naturally, these shrewd businessmen could not let such a thing happen, so almost at the same time as Cao Ang's triumph, they came to the outside of Cao Ang's mansion.

At this time, Cao Ang heard that this group of businessmen was coming, and the corners of his mouth also showed disdain.

When they needed businessmen to fund recruitment, they ignored themselves, but now they still want a piece of the pie, how can there be such a good thing.

"Let them wait in the hall now, dry their sharpness, and call the three merchants who helped Ben Gongzi before!"

Regardless of the reason for the three merchants to help Cao Ang before, the result was that they funded Cao Ang, so that Cao Ang could recruit troops and build weapons during this time.

So for these three businessmen, Cao Ang is naturally grateful.

At present, in order to discourage other businessmen, and to show that he is a person who has repaid his kindness, Cao Ang also directly asked Cao Anmin to call the three businessmen who had helped him before.

Half an hour later, in this Xiaopei County Ya Palace, more than a dozen merchants had been waiting for a long time, but Cao Ang still had no limit to come out.

Even so, none of them showed impatience on their faces, and when one of the maids came to serve them tea and water, a shrewd merchant called the maid over.

"This girl, may I ask Lord Cao Ang why he is free, and how long will he keep us waiting?"

An obese middle-aged man also squeezed out a little smile on his face at this time, and while asking, he also took out some broken silver and handed it to the other party.

The maid saw that she still had money to take, and her face was also happy at this time, and she hurriedly told what she knew.

"You don't have to worry, our lord said that as long as the three merchants of Wang Li Fang come here, he will discuss the matter of sacrificing the army with your lordship."

The three Wang Li Fang in the mouth of this maid were the three businessmen who had helped Cao Ang before, and because they had already assisted Cao Ang before, they were naturally happy when they learned of Cao Ang's victory, which was completely different from these panicked businessmen in front of them.

Because of this, the three merchants did not come to disturb Cao Ang.

After hearing what the maid said, the other merchants present also understood what Cao Ang meant at this time, and finally after the maid left, a middle-aged man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a hooked nose also complained at this time.

"Humph! At the beginning, I said that we should more or less mean to Cao Gongzi, after all, he is the eldest son of Prime Minister Cao, and he is courteous and affectionate. ”

"But it's good for you to be stingy with the little money in your pocket, and your eyes are so short-sighted, I'm afraid that the people of Wang Li Fang will step on their heads now!"

Although the middle-aged man had complained, it was not Cao Ang who was complaining, but the businessman who had come with them.

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he didn't agree with their indifference to Cao Ang.

"Humph! Liu Quan! When we proposed to leave it alone, you voted yes, and now what are you putting in the afterthought? ”

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and now their interests are damaged, so they naturally fall into arguments.
