Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

This was the result of Zhuge Liang's careful consideration.

Cao Ang fell silent. If Zhuge Liang's plan could work.

Then the situation in the south would become more chaotic, and Cao Ang would be able to control the overall situation more easily.

However, Cao Ang felt that a hero like Cao Cao would not be so easily deceived and might hold back.

"Wenhe, you are in charge of this matter. Make sure that everything goes well!" Cao Ang decided to trust Zhuge Liang.

After Cao Ang's order was issued, Xun You and Chen Gong immediately began to arrange the troops and allocate food and fodder to prepare for emergencies.

As for Zhuge Liang, he left Xiangyang City with his personal soldiers.

Zhuge Liang’s goal was very clear. Cao Cao would encounter various dangers when he went south, so he had to make some arrangements.

As soon as Cao Ang's order was passed on, Cao Cao in Yanzhou received the news.

Cao Cao's face became solemn. Cao Ang suddenly attacked him. What was going on?

Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, but he knew that Cao Ang must have some conspiracy.

"Brother Mengde, could it be that Uncle Liu has discovered our intention to go south?" Guo Jia guessed.

Cao Cao shook his head and denied it. No one knew about his secret plan except a few core personnel, and it was absolutely impossible for Cao Ang to discover it.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he thought of another possibility.

Guo Jia said: "Brother Mengde, since Cao Ang doesn't know our whereabouts, then this sudden attack is most likely to test our strength."

Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's analysis was correct and it was indeed possible that Cao Ang would launch a sudden attack.

"Fengxiao, how do you think we should solve this problem?" Cao Cao gave the power of choice to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "Brother Meng De, we can let Xi Zhicai pretend to be our scout. As long as our scout's identity is not exposed, there will be no problem.

If our scouts reveal their identities, we can use the strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and cheered: "Fengxiao, you are still smart."

Guo Jia said: "Brother Mengde, if our scouts disguise themselves as relatives of the Han Dynasty, they will not arouse suspicion. After all, our army has very few troops in Nanyang County."

Cao Cao praised: "As expected of Feng Xiao, he even thought of this."

Guo Jia said modestly: "Brother Meng De, you are too kind. This is just my job."

"You did a good job. Notify Xi Zhicai immediately and let him carry out the plan." Cao Cao ordered.

"Yes! I obey your command!" Guo Jia took the order and left.

On the other side, Cao Ang was very happy when he learned that Cao Cao was heading south.

Cao Ang had always been worried that Cao Cao's move south would affect his war plan. Now with the intelligence provided by Zhuge Liang, everything was solved.

Cao Ang couldn't wait to see what the plan Zhuge Liang was talking about was.

Cao Ang gathered a group of soldiers and prepared to go to the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion to discuss matters.

When Cao Ang walked out of the room, he saw Lu Bu standing at the door waiting.

"My lord, I have something to report!" Lu Bu said respectfully.

"Oh? Zilong, please step aside for a moment. I have important matters to discuss with Fengxian." Cao Ang made a gesture to Lu Bu.

"I'll take my leave." Lu Bu bowed and left.

Cao Ang took Lu Bu into the house and closed the doors and windows.

Lu Bu understood and said, "My Lord, do you want me to do something?" Cao Ang said with satisfaction, "Fengxian, I really like you more and more. You really understand my feelings."

When Lü Bu heard Cao Ang praising him, he was immediately flattered and said, "My lord, you are too kind. I don't deserve it."

"You are my favorite general, and I am at ease with any decision you make.

I came to you today to ask about the situation during this period." Cao Ang went straight to the point.

Lu Bu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Cao Ang came to him just to ask these trivial matters.

However, Lu Bu knew that Cao Ang trusted him very much, so he did not hide anything and reported everything that had happened during this period.

"Fengxian, you have worked hard during this period. I will remember it!" After hearing this, Cao Ang sighed at Lu Bu's loyalty.

Lu Bu was so excited by Cao Ang's words that he finally gained Cao Ang's recognition.

Lu Bu knelt on one knee and said excitedly: "My lord, this is all I can do. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

"Haha... Fengxian is too polite. If you have anything to say in the future, just let me know."

Cao Ang pulled Lu Bu up and continued, "Your ability is no worse than anyone else's. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely become a martial saint famous throughout the world in the future."

"Thank you for your high expectations, my lord!" Lu Bu was overjoyed.

"Okay, I have other things to deal with. Fengxian, go back first." Cao Ang saw Lu Bu out.

After Lü Bu left, Cao Ang instructed Jia Xu and Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi, Fengxiao's ability is not inferior to Ziyi. I hope you can train him well."

Cao Ang regarded Lu Bu as his future right-hand man, so naturally he could not ignore him.

Jia Xu and Xu Shu looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely teach Fengxiao well." Jia Xu promised.

Xu Shu also said: "My lord, rest assured, I will definitely assist Wen Ruo in teaching Feng Xiao well."

"Well. You all go down and get busy." Cao Ang waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.

The two said goodbye and left.

After Lu Bu returned, he immediately found Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai was sorting out the recent military supplies. When he saw Lu Bu coming back, he knew that he had something to ask him, so he said, "My lord, how come you have time to look for me?"

Xi Zhicai is very busy now. He has to work overtime every night to make various plans for fear of omissions.

Lu Bu sat down and drank a glass of water: "Wenhe, how many troops do you think we should send into Yuzhou?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and said: "My lord, I suggest that our army send 5,000 elite soldiers, 30,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry to Yuzhou.

Although Yuzhou is Liu Bei’s base camp, it is not Liu Bei’s home ground, and our army has the advantage.

Not to mention that our army also has strong bows and crossbows and shield soldiers, which are more than enough to protect ourselves."

Lu Bu said: "Five thousand men and horses are not many. It's just that the cavalry is too conspicuous."

"My lord, we don't have time to slowly select suitable cavalry.

Now Cao's army is focusing on Jizhou. If our army does not seize the opportunity to take Yuzhou, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity. "Xi Zhicai advised.

After Lu Bu pondered for a while, he said firmly: "Okay, then five thousand elite soldiers, thirty thousand infantry and ten thousand cavalry. The victory or defeat of this battle depends on this one."

"I will definitely live up to your trust, my lord." Xi Zhicai said with a fist clasped. (End of this chapter)
