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

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Xiahou Yuan is indeed good, but he lacks a sense of the overall situation. He is no match for Cao Ang."

Cao Cao nodded. The gap between Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ang was really too big.

Pang Tong analyzed: "My Lord, do you think Xiahou Yuan will let Cao Ang go?"

"Of course!" Cao Cao said without hesitation.

"My lord is wise! Xiahou Yuan's character means he won't give up.

Now that Cao Ang and Lu Bu are gone, Xiahou Yuan has enough reason to attack Cao Mengde. "Pang Tong continued.

"But can we stop him?" asked Cao Cao.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Of course not. Xiahou Yuan is a fierce general. If he persists, Cao Cao will be in danger.
. We can't let Cao Cao get into trouble.

However, we must also be wary of Xiahou Yuan and Yuan Shao both suffering losses.

Yuan Shao's army is strong, but our army is short of food and grass. If Yuan Shao and Xiahou Yuan are both defeated, we will be able to reap the benefits."

After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Mr. Fengxiao is indeed very thoughtful. Let's do it according to your idea."

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away." Pang Tong bowed and left.

Cao Cao looked at Pang Tong's departing back and felt very conflicted. He really wanted to help Cao Cao, but he didn't want to be an enemy of Liu Bei.

Cao Ang felt relieved when he received the news that Xiahou Yuan had withdrawn his troops.

"My lord, I have fulfilled my mission. Xiahou Yuan decisively chose to withdraw his troops." Xu Shu said happily.

Cao Ang looked at Xu Shu with appreciation. Xu Shu had performed outstandingly in recent times, especially this time he successfully instigated Xiahou Yuan to rebel, which made Cao Ang look at him with new eyes.

Cao Ang said: "Wencai has had a hard time on this trip.

Pass on my order that all generals return to their respective garrisons immediately to rest and guard the city strictly to prevent Cao Cao's surprise attack.

I will also send an envoy to tell Xiahou Yuan that I will leave him several thousand soldiers as compensation.

As for Yuan Shu, since he dared to invade my territory, I will make him pay the price.

I am going to send Lu Bu to attack Yuan Shu. You should immediately notify Lu Bu and Huang Zhong and have them gather their troops quickly. I want to destroy Yuan Shu!"

Lu Bu and Huang Zhong had long wanted to destroy Yuan Shu. Now that they had the chance to beat Yuan Shu in broad daylight, they were both very happy.

After Cao Ang gave the order, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong were extremely excited and immediately gathered their troops.

Both of them are extremely brave. Although the troops they lead are not many, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 of them, which is not a small number.

Cao Ang looked at the troops of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong and a smile appeared on his face.

The troops of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong are definitely a group of tigers and wolves that can dominate the world.

Cao Ang said to Lu Bu, "Fengxian, you and Huang Zhong lead 30,000 troops to Shouchun to join me."

"Yes!" Lu Bu and Huang Zhong hurriedly accepted the order.

With 30,000 soldiers and the mounts of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, they are faster.

Moreover, Cao Ang was worried about the situation in Shouchun, so he sent a cavalry unit led by Zhao Yun to assist Lu Bu and Huang Zhong in going to the rescue.

Cao Ang had just finished arranging matters for Lü Bu and Huang Zhong when Cao Cao also sent someone to deliver the news.

"Cao Cao sent me a letter, inviting me to visit Cao's camp!" Cao Ang said with a smile.

Xu Shu was surprised and said, "I didn't expect Cao Cao to want to win over the lord."

"He is trying to test my attitude." Cao Ang said lightly.

"I think it is unlikely that Cao Cao wants to test our attitude." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"My lord, I suggest you reject it directly."

“Well, Yuanzhi is right, I’m not someone who can be easily fooled.

How about this, Yuanzhi, you take the Jinyiwei and tell Cao Cao my attitude.

"See what choice Cao Cao will make!" Cao Ang ordered. "Yes, sir!" Xu Shu took the order and left.

When Cao Cao received the reply from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"It seems that Cao Ang still has doubts about me." Cao Cao said with emotion.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to arrest the Jinyiwei?" Xun You reminded.

"It's useless. The Jinyiwei are the secret line in the hands of the lord. Unless the lord himself issues an edict, no one else can touch the Jinyiwei." Cheng Yu sighed.

"Then what should we do? Cao Ang is not a easy person to deal with." Xun Yu said worriedly.

"I have a solution! I have already thought of a strategy to deal with it. I just hope Cao Ang won't be scared." Cao Cao said confidently.

Xun Yu and others looked at Cao Cao's expression, and had no idea what Cao Cao's plan was.

"Someone, come to the palace! I want to see Cao Ang!" Cao Cao ordered.

Cao Cao's advisers looked at each other in confusion. Was Cao Cao going to negotiate with Cao Ang in person?
Soon, Cao Cao came to Cao Ang's palace with a smile on his face.

Cao Ang was surprised by Cao Cao's sudden visit, but he still greeted him politely: "Brother Meng De, what can I do for you?"

"Liu Xuande, I come here to surrender to you." Cao Cao said cheerfully.

"What?" Cao Ang was shocked.

Cao Cao actually came to his side.

"Brother Meng De, are you joking with me?" Cao Ang felt that his brain was a little confused.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Xuan De, I always keep my word."

"Then I wonder why Brother Meng De wants to do this?

You should know that Liu Bei is the best ally. Perhaps you can rely on Liu Bei to fight against Cao Ang."

Cao Ang said doubtfully.

Cao Cao explained: "Xuan De misunderstood. I saw that Liu Bei was quite capable and ambitious.

If we can join forces, we will surely win.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei is ambitious but incompetent, and he simply doesn't have the courage to do so. He even disdains to cooperate with me, so I decided to give up on him."

Cao Cao belittled Liu Bei in order to increase Cao Ang's favor and make Cao Ang believe in his sincerity.

Cao Ang was also a little touched when he heard Cao Cao say this. Cao Cao's words made sense and he could not doubt them.

"I wonder why Brother Meng De wants to give up Liu Bei?" Cao Ang asked.

“Because I need a stronger ally.

Although Liu Xuande is quite capable, he is too indecisive.

But Cao Ang is different. He has great ambitions and will definitely become a heroic figure in the future. He also has wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

I think such a talent is worthy of my cooperation.

Besides, I am no longer qualified to stay in Jingzhou.

I want to retire from society." Cao Cao said with emotion.

Cao Ang frowned. He didn't expect Cao Cao to make such a decision. Cao Cao was Liu Zhang's son, and his identity was very embarrassing.

If he left Jingzhou, Liu Zhang would definitely become suspicious of Cao Cao.

After all, Liu Zhang still has some reputation now, and many aristocratic families support him.

Once Cao Cao left, the Cao family would be in danger.

Cao Ang was a little confused about Cao Cao's thoughts. (End of this chapter)
