Baima Pavilion is about fifty miles away from Mayi County. Because during the reign of Emperor Huan, there was a horse farm here, especially the abundant white horses, hence the name. The so-called pavilion, ten miles per pavilion, is equivalent to the town of later generations. According to the thinking of later generations, Baima Pavilion is also the Baima Town.

Zhang Liao was very famous in Mayi County when he was young. Because of his skillful bow and horse skills, he was elected as a county official, which was equivalent to the captain of the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau in a very long time. Ding Yuan served as the governor of Bingzhou and recruited soldiers in Bingzhou. Zhang Liao brought dozens of fellow villagers to join him and was appointed as a captain and under the command of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who was a fellow villager in Bingzhou, was from Wuyuan County. He was six or seven years older than Zhang Liao. Because of his outstanding martial arts and bravery, he was deeply loved by Ding Yuan. He was accepted as his adopted son and served as the general to fight against rebellion. Zhang Liao has served as his men since joining the army. Zhang Liao admired Lu Bu's martial arts and courage from the bottom of his heart, so he always followed Lu Bu's leader.

Even though Lu Bu assassinated Ding Yuan under Li Su's Red Rabbit Horse and a lot of money, he surrendered to Dong Zhuo, although he was dissatisfied with what Lu Bu did, Zhang Liao still did not abandon Lu Bu. No matter how embarrassed Lu Bu was like a stray dog, Zhang Liao always followed him and served him, never leaving him. As for Zhang Liao's opinion on Lu Bu's behavior of first rebelling Ding Yuan and then assassing Dong Zhuo, it is unknown.

"Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan first and then assassed Dong Zhuo later. Both of them were his adoptive fathers. Since Zhang Liao was a loyal and righteous person, he might be dissatisfied with Lu Bu. Is it possible to recruit him under his command?" Yuan Mai stopped in front of the White Horse Pavilion, thinking in his heart, his eyes firm and persistent, "No matter what, I will try my best!"

Early this morning, Yuan Mai asked Qu Yi to lead the army to continue north, and he led the Fan brothers and Zhou Cang, who had just recovered from injury, to lead 200 cavalry to visit Zhang Liao's family. After the matter was completed, he would catch up with the brigade. After the horse was completed, he galloped for an hour and a half and found the Baima Pavilion under the guidance of the guide.

"Young Master, we came to visit Zhang Liao's family from such a long distance. Is this man very capable?" Zhou Cang asked, riding a yellow-maned horse, holding a big knife in his hand.

"Yes, Zhang Liao is an amazing person. Although he has not made any contributions yet, as long as he is given the opportunity to display his talents, he will definitely shine." Yuan Mai said to Zhou Cang with a smile.

"Does the young master know this Zhang Liao? If you don't know him, how can you know that Zhang Liao has all his skills?" Zhou Cang's face was full of doubts.

"I heard from a fellow villager of Zhang Liao. Zhang Wenyuan is definitely a rare general, otherwise I would not have been able to visit his family." Yuan Mai casually said, instructing Zhou Cang to take his men outside the pavilion, and he took the Fan brothers to Baimating Street to ask where Zhang Liao's relatives lived.

After a short while, Yuan Mai took the Fan brothers into the street of the Baima Pavilion. When he saw a meat shop on the side of the road, he dismounted and asked, "I'm sorry, where can Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan's brother live on the pavilion?"

The shopkeeper looked at Yuan Mai and the other two, with a look of vigilance: "I don't hide it from you. I am Zhang Liao's second brother Zhang Mao, and my eldest brother Zhang Qian lives at the end of the street. What kind of Gui are you doing when you ask us for? Although Wen Yuan has served for Lu Bu, he hasn't been home for three or four years and has nothing to do with us. You are here to cause trouble for us, right?"

Seeing the butcher's appearance with an ordinary person, Yuan Mai was surprised. Unexpectedly, the famous Zhang Liao's brother was actually a butcher. Businessmen were keen on profits and were all petty people. Can he use him as a breakthrough to establish a relationship with Zhang Liao and then recruit him?

Although there were many difficulties, there was no hope. Looking at the second brother Zhang Liao in front of him, Yuan Mai suddenly saw a glimmer of hope and strengthened his determination to recruit Zhang Liao.

Although Zhang Liao was a loyal and righteous person, he was not as stubborn as Chen Gong and Gao Shun. This can be seen from the fact that he surrendered to Cao Cao. An ants cherish their lives, let alone mortals. The reason why he surrendered to Cao Cao was that in addition to being captured, he also saw the hope that he could make achievements and become a marquis and generals with Cao Cao. He was willing to drive him, traveling on the battlefield, and made great achievements.

To conquer Zhang Liao, Yuan Mai now has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that as a time traveler, he has a clear understanding of Zhang Liao's abilities, can treat him well, and use the most pious attitude and highest standard treatment to tempt him and attract him.

Zhang Liao’s reputation is only average now. He is ranked alongside Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others under Lu Bu, far less famous than Hebei’s Four Courts, nor is he as good as Cao Cao’s brothers, Cao Ren, Yu Jin and others.

In fact, even after surrendering to Cao Cao, Zhang Liao's fame and status were always in the Battle of Hefei, and Xu Huang and others, not to mention Cao Cao's clan generals. It was not until the Battle of Hefei that Zhang Wenyuan became famous in the battle, and thus established his position in the Cao Wei army.

At this time, as a minor general under Lu Bu, few people would look up to him, and naturally there would not be any princes trying their best to recruit him thirsty. As described in the Romance, if Guan Yu and Liu Bei had not had the pleading of mercy, Zhang Liao might have become the ghost under Cao Cao's sword, and there would have been no story that would have been a mighty Xiaoyaojin later.

This is a huge opportunity for Yuan Mai. It is a prophecy to know that this is the golden finger God opened for him. It would be a pity if he didn't make good use of it!

In addition to knowing Zhang Liao's abilities more than anyone else, another advantage of Yuan Mai is that he has come into contact with his family. Although he doesn't know what Zhang Liao has to do with his two brothers, he is a brother of a mother and a fellow brother. As long as this guy who claims to be Zhang Mao is willing to lobby for him, with his brotherly feelings, he will have more hope to bring Zhang Liao, a good general in the world.

In addition to the above advantages, Yuan Mai also has weaknesses. For example, he does not have his own territory now, but just a miscellaneous general. Not to mention that he cannot compare with military tycoons like Cao Cao and Lu Bu, he is even worse than his own brothers. Yuan Tan is the governor of Qingzhou, and the high-ranking officials are the governor of Bingzhou. They all have the land of a state, have an army of 60,000 or 70,000 and millions of people, and what do they have? Why did Zhang Liao abandon Lu Bu and surrender to him?

"No matter what, I will try my best to try. It depends on others and the success of heaven. I will be blessed if I get it, and I will be lost if I lose it!"

Yuan Mai made another vow in his heart, and then bowed to Zhang Mao: "It turns out that brother is Zhang's second brother. I am Yuan Mai, the fourth son of Yuan Benchu, the current Jizhou Muslim, and I am polite here." After saying that, he turned around and said to the Fan brothers behind him: "Premended the prepared gift!"

"promise!"

The Fan brothers took the order and put the prepared gifts on Zhang Erge's butcher's shop from the horse. However, they were ten pieces of cloth, three pieces of silk, fifty taels of silver, and some five-zhu coins. They were all prepared when they came.
