The truth is that even Zhang Liao didn't believe the reason Tsao Tsao had given him. He has served two lords, fought for their banners and received naught but sick guilt and sticky blood on his hands. What was the point in serving a third? But the Lord of Wei had refused to kill him; that spoke something about Tsao Tsao. Tsao Tsao did not do mercy and yet he had given it so freely to Zhang Liao. The least Zhang Liao can do is serve him, at least till he has done enough that he can leave with a clear conscience.]
Tsao Tsao spared my life. He refused to order my execution and accorded me the freedom of fighting under his banner or leaving. By a warrior's code I am indebted to him.
