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

"Cao Ang is quite smart. He must have seen through the flaw, so he tried it on purpose." Cao Cao sighed.

Cao Cao himself did not believe that Cao Ang had the ability to guess the existence of this loophole.

But none of his subordinates were fools. After Cao Cao said this, they thought this was the case.

Xiahou Dun angrily cursed: "Cao Ang is so damn cunning."

"Since they have chosen to retreat, let's have a good rest tonight," said Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's decision made everyone feel relieved. Although Cao Cao kept warning everyone, he was the commander after all.

We still need to obey orders. If Cao Cao really gets angry, it will be troublesome.

The next day, Cao Ang finished his breakfast early and came to the big tent.

"Fengxiao, do you think that old villain Cao Cao will make any move today?" Cao Ang asked a little worriedly.

Last night Cao Ang sent people to investigate, and found that there was still no unusual movement in Cao Cao's camp.

This made Cao Ang worry that Cao Cao might have noticed his whereabouts.

"My lord, according to the spies, there was no movement inside Cao Cao's camp last night." Guo Jia reported.

"It would be strange if there was no movement. Could it be that the old villain Cao Cao is plotting something?" Cao Ang frowned.

"Cao Ang, ah Cao Ang, you are still too naive. If I were Cao Cao, I would have sent spies to investigate your movements in the dark of night."

Jia Xu arrived at the big tent at some point and said with contempt.

"Wenruo, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us quickly." Cao Ang urged.

"In fact, the reason why Cao Cao didn't send out spies to investigate was mainly because the soldiers had been fighting continuously for the past few days and their physical strength had been greatly depleted.

Sending out spies to investigate at this time would easily expose our whereabouts.

More importantly, the spies never came back. So Cao Cao simply pretended not to know about it. "Jia Xu explained.

"I know that. What I mean is, does this old fox Cao Cao want to lure us out of the city to attack?" Cao Ang continued to ask.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Well, my lord, you might as well wait for the news from the spies."

"Oh, then you drink your tea slowly. I will leave first." Cao Ang was unhappy. Jia Xu was actually keeping him in suspense.

Cao Ang waved his sleeves and left.

Jia Xu saw Cao Ang leaving and laughed, "What a quick temper!"

In Cao Cao's camp, Xun You reported to Cao Cao with the intelligence: "My lord, Cao Ang has sent people to investigate."

"Haha, they finally can't hold it in any longer." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Pass the order down and prepare to meet the enemy."

"My lord, aren't you afraid that Cao Ang will cheat again? What if he is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Xun Yu reminded.

"Wen Ruo is worrying too much." Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Cao Ang wanted to cheat, he wouldn't have sent scouts to investigate.

Isn't this just a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt? Besides, his spies only number a few thousand and they can't pose a threat to our fortress."

Xun Yu felt that his intelligence was insulted, so Cao Ang sent people to investigate.

The purpose was not to pose a threat to them, but to find out the defense of the camp so as to take targeted measures.

Cao Cao's camp was the granary of the entire Yanzhou. Once Cao Ang occupied the granary of Yanzhou, the Cao family would be in danger. Cao Cao could not afford such a loss.

"In that case, Wenruo, let's proceed according to the original plan," Cao Cao said.

"Yes!" Xun Yu responded.

The scouts sent out by Cao Ang returned soon, and Cao Ang personally led the team to inquire about the harvest.

"Sir, we have already figured out Cao Cao's defenses.

Cao Cao's defense is very strong and cannot be destroyed unless it is bombed with artillery. In addition, Cao Cao's military discipline is extremely strict, and it is impossible for us to sneak into the army." The scout reported.

"Waste, all waste." Cao Ang shouted angrily.

"Don't be angry, my lord!" Guo Jia advised.

"Fengxiao, what do you think we should do?" Cao Ang said depressedly.

"My lord, these scouts have done their best. They have not infiltrated Cao Cao's army.

We have nothing to say. But my lord, don't worry.

Even without scouts, the troops we have are enough to fight Cao Cao.

My Lord, please relax." Guo Jia consoled him.

Cao Ang nodded. This was the only way now.

Inside Cao Cao's camp, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu were discussing something.

"Uncle, can we set out now?" Xiahou Yuan was eager to try.

Cao Hong shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see.

I have a feeling that Cao Ang's spies have not left yet."

"Uncle, do you think Cao Ang wants to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our camp?" Xiahou Yuan asked doubtfully.

"It is very possible. Our spies have already found out the enemy's deployment. If they want to attack, it is definitely best to launch a surprise attack during the chaos." Cao Hong said.

"Uncle, what you said makes sense. Let's wait and see how Cao Ang reacts." Xiahou Yuan nodded.

Cao Hong was right. Cao Ang did want to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Cao Cao's camp. This was also the reason why he was angry just now.

However, Cao Ang's spies had already left, and the scouts in Cao Cao's camp were no longer a threat.

Cao Ang's goal remained unchanged and he headed straight for the heart of Yanzhou.

Cao Ang came to a city called Huangxian in Yanzhou. This city was located near Cao Cao's camp and was an important town.

"Huang County is only thirty miles away from Cao Cao's camp." Cao Ang murmured as he stood on the city wall of Huang County.

"Sir, Cao Cao's scouts have spotted us approaching." Dian Wei beside Cao Ang reminded.

Cao Ang sneered, "These bastards are really alert. Kill them. Remember to leave some alive. I want to interrogate them."

"I obey your command." Dian Wei accepted the order.

Cao Ang led his elite troops and attacked Cao Cao's camp.

"My lord, the Han army is invading on a large scale. Please give your orders!" Xu Sheng hurried to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face turned pale. He had expected Cao Ang to choose this route, but he did not expect Cao Ang to be so fast.

"Yuan Rang, you lead the cavalry to Huangxian to block the enemy immediately. At the same time, notify all units to get ready and follow up." Cao Cao commanded.

"I obey your command." Xu Sheng turned and left.

Not long after Xu Sheng left, Cao Cao heard a burst of rapid drumbeats. Cao Cao understood that Cao Ang had begun to attack the city.

Cao Cao led his men to the top of the city wall and saw a huge army charging towards them in the distance.

"Liu Xuande is really amazing. He found this place in such a short time. It seems we have to change our strategy." Cao Cao sighed.

"My lord, do you want to sound the retreat?" Xun Chen suggested.

"It's useless. If we retreat, even if our army wins, we will be pursued by Liu Xuande and suffer heavy casualties.

Pass the order down, and send out the whole army to resist Cao Ang's invasion. Cao Cao rejected Xun Chen's suggestion. (End of this chapter)
