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

Seeing this, Dian Wei could only order his soldiers to cover his escape.

Dian Wei fled back to Yecheng in a panic with his cavalry. Many of his men were killed and the remaining cavalry were less than 200.

After Dian Wei arrived in Luoyang, Cao Ang summoned him immediately.

Dian Wei described the battle in detail.

When Cao Ang heard that Cao Cao had two or three thousand cavalrymen, his eyes turned red.

If Cao Ang could have so many cavalry, he could wreak havoc on the entire Liang Province.

Cao Ang decided to form a cavalry unit after returning, specifically for robbery.

Cao Ang even began to fantasize that if he had cavalry, he could sweep the world.

Of course, in this world, apart from Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu in history, no one dares to say that he can conquer the entire world.

Cao Ang was very satisfied with Dian Wei's performance and rewarded him with a lot of money and supplies.

Dian Wei gladly accepted it and did not refuse.

When Cao Cao heard that Dian Wei was captured by Cao Ang, he secretly cursed Cao Ang for being shameless.

Cao Ang's tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is so cruel.

At the same time, Cao Cao also understood why Cao Ang's army suddenly appeared behind him.

It turned out that he had already guessed that Cao Cao would win this battle, so he sent troops to ambush Xiahou Yuan in advance.

Dian Wei's capture alive by Cao Ang was also a huge loss for Cao Cao, especially in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao thought that Cao Ang was so smart that he could even guess that he would attack Xiahou Yuan.

"Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" Xun You asked with a bitter face.

Cao Cao gnashed his teeth and said, "What else can we do?
Send a message to all parties to immediately turn their attention to helping Xiahou Yuan."

Cao Cao knew that Cao Ang would definitely not let Dian Wei go, so he simply sold Dian Wei.

"The Prime Minister is wise!" Xun Yu and others admired him very much.

Cao Ang was overjoyed when he received the news that Cao Cao had surrendered.

Cao Ang immediately convened a court meeting to discuss the victory.

Cao Ang first read out the reward to Dian Wei. Dian Wei was promoted one level because of his meritorious service.

Finally, Cao Ang announced the situation in Yanzhou.

Cao Ang placed Yanzhou under the jurisdiction of Liu Xie, and it was temporarily managed by Cao Cao.

After Liu Xie got Yanzhou, he cried with joy. He finally realized his long-cherished wish of taking Yanzhou.

In the court, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that Cao Ang was planning to take over Yanzhou alone, but no one dared to question it.

"Everyone, I plan to build a temporary palace in Yanzhou. Do you have any objection?" Cao Ang said lightly.

"Our lord is wise." The ministers knelt down and praised him.

Cao Ang’s goal was very clear: Yanzhou was in his pocket and he would take it back sooner or later.

In this case, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to turn Yanzhou into his own palace.

This way there is a legitimate excuse.

All the ministers had no objection, so Cao Ang happily took Yanzhou into his arms.

Although Cao Cao felt distressed, he could not refute it. He was still thinking about taking it back in the future.

After Cao Ang took Yanzhou, he ordered someone to notify Xiahou Yuan and told him that he would enter Yanzhou as soon as possible and join forces with him to deal with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

Xiahou Yuan also received the news from Cao Ang, and his face was very ugly. Cao Ang actually occupied Yanzhou, and the hatred was deep.

Xiahou Yuan did not hesitate at all and ordered all the cavalry to move closer to Cao Cao. He wanted to join forces with Cao Cao to fight against Cao Ang together.

When Cao Ang learned that Xiahou Yuan was approaching him, a smile appeared on his face.

He was afraid that Xiahou Yuan would collude with Cao Cao. When Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao joined forces, he was no longer worried.

Cao Cao also received news that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ang were going to meet up, and he hurriedly dispatched all his troops to the vicinity of Xiahou Dun.

Seeing Cao Cao's move, Xiahou Dun was impressed that Cao Cao was really loyal and brave, and wanted to protect him at this time. "Uncle, we don't have to care about Cao Cao's reinforcements, we just need to stop Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's cavalry."

Xiahou Dun's younger brother Xiahou Shang persuaded him.

Xiahou Dun shook his head and said, "Zhongkang, you don't understand!"

"I don't understand. Do you understand, uncle?" Xiahou Shang asked curiously.

Xiahou Dun said: "I don't understand. I just don't want my sons to be killed again.

Cao Cao is a respectable monarch, and he has many generals like me under his command.

His son will be as kind and benevolent as I am and will not have the heart to hurt others.

I think they can do even better under Cao Cao's command."

Xiahou Shang was silent, he knew that what Xiahou Dun said made sense.

Xiahou Yuan led all the cavalry and rushed towards Cao Cao.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and Cao Cao was getting nervous.

Xiahou Yuan led his troops to Cao Cao's tent, stopped and shouted to Cao Cao.

"Xiahou Dun pays respect to the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao personally came out and said with a bow.

"Brother Zhongkang has come from afar, and I am very happy to welcome you."

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "Prime Minister Cao, we know exactly why we are here today.

My young master is a god of war, how can he be killed by others?

Please, Prime Minister, hand over my son. Otherwise, we would rather die than agree."

"Brother Zhongkang, we are old friends, why should we make things so awkward?

Didn't Liu Xuande say that we are allies? Now that your son has fallen into Liu Xuande's hands, I'm afraid his life is in danger." Cao Cao sighed.

Xiahou Dun roared, "The boy surnamed Liu lied to us. My master has already left with his elite troops."

Cao Cao pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Oh, so that's what you are talking about. Your young master has indeed left.

I sent many scouts to look for him, but found no trace. I think he is in danger."

Xiahou Yuan was furious and asked, "You bastard, is Cao Ang trying to trick us?"

"Alas, maybe Uncle Liu is playing a trick on us.

After all, we have a deep grudge against him, so it is normal for him to want revenge." Cao Cao continued to talk nonsense.

Xiahou Yuan almost vomited three liters of blood, and Cao Cao actually said that it was Cao Ang who was playing tricks on them.

"Prime Minister, you are insulting me!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I am just seeking truth from facts."

"Pah!" Xiahou Yuan spat, "Prime Minister Cao, I, Xiahou Yuan, am a man.

If you don't hand over my son, I will fight you to the death today."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiahou Yuan, do you think you have the ability to do this?
I admit that my cavalry is not as good as yours, but I also have tens of thousands of troops.

Even if I am not your opponent, do you think I can stop you with these soldiers?"

Xiahou Yuan was speechless. What Cao Cao said was true.

Xiahou Yuan retreated indignantly, he needed time to think it over.

Cao Cao also let his men disperse.

"Mr. Fengxiao, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.

Pang Tong laughed and said, "My lord, Xiahou Yuan has a very hot temper. This is a big taboo."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I know, but he is not alone now. He has tens of thousands of troops behind him." (End of this chapter)
