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

However, Cao Ang shook his head, stopped Xia Houyuan, and said: "There is no need to mobilize troops like this. These bandits are not weak. We need to act cautiously, lest we scare the snake and be set up by the bandits to escape again."

"Young Master is absolutely right." Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said, "Young Master is wise and thieves are cunning. We must not underestimate our enemies."

Cao Ang nodded slightly and said, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Since these bandits are quite powerful, it may not be easy to encircle and suppress them. Therefore, I suggest that I lead the troops to attack the bandits' lair."

"fair enough."

Cao Ang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Guo Jia led the troops on the expedition and had the highest success rate.

Guo Jia added: "My lord, I am willing to be the vanguard."

"Your injury." Cao Ang looked at Guo Jia worriedly.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "No problem."

"In that case, then this battle will be left to you." Cao Ang said happily.

"Follow the order." Guo Jia agreed.

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news." Cao Ang nodded, then said goodbye to Guo Jia and went straight back to his tent.

However, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Shu stood there without moving, as if they had something else to say.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Cao Ang smiled.

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, why did you choose to trust Military Advisor Guo?"

Cao Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "This man is not simple. He has great ambitions. His goals are not limited to Xudu. He has no ambition here."

"What?" Xu Shu widened his eyes in shock and looked at Cao Ang in disbelief.

Cao Ang nodded and sighed: "Guo Jia is not a simple person. I have observed him several times, and every time he talks to other counselors.

There is always a sense of superiority in his words. This sense of superiority makes me think that he is a proud and complacent person, and he is not a person who is willing to be mediocre.

If he wants to conquer the world, his personal bravery alone is not enough. I guess there may be a larger force behind him.

As for who is behind him, I can't find out yet, but I can guarantee that it is definitely from a super wealthy family. "

Xu Shu said with a complicated expression: "If this is the case, then his ambition is too great. My lord, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Haha, how could I not know." Cao Ang smiled heartily and said: "But we can't take action rashly. After all, we are still not sure about the power behind Guo Jia. It is very dangerous to take action rashly."

"It's because the general didn't think well." Xu Shu said quickly.

"It doesn't matter, you care and it will cause chaos." Cao Ang waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go down and rest."

"Here."

After Xu Shu left, Xiahou Yuan asked, "My Lord, are we really going to leave Guo Jia alone?"

"Well, don't pay attention." Cao Ang said lightly: "His existence is a threat to us.

If he really has strong strength, or has strong support behind him, it may not be good news for us.

So I decided to send envoys to Yingchuan, hoping to get some news from Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and many other forces. "

Xia Houyuan suddenly realized.

Yingchuan, a county under Yuan Shu's rule, is located in the north of Jizhou and borders Yanzhou. It is a fertile land and the place where Zhuge Liang rose to power.

Cao Ang once sent people into Yingchuan and tried to contact Yuan Shu, but unfortunately failed, and was even made things difficult by Yuan Shu's subordinates.

"Young Master Shengming." Xia Houyuan said with admiration.

"Haha, I'm just taking precautions and taking precautions before they happen." Cao Ang laughed and then said seriously.

"I'm going to ask Zilong to accompany you. Zilong's martial arts skills are strong enough to help you complete this mission."

"Then thank you, lord." Xia Houyuan smiled.

"Haha."

Cao Ang laughed, patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder, and said: "You are my general, how could I sit idly by if something happens to you? Okay, hurry up and get ready. Zilong will leave Xudu with you tonight and go to Yingchuan.”

"No!" Xia Houyuan immediately turned and left.

As night fell, candlelight danced in Cao Ang's handsome tent.

Cao Ang sat behind the desk and closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent.

"Sir, there's something going on." Zhang Xiu rushed in and reported, "A spy has discovered traces of thieves."

"Oh, the bandits have indeed sneaked into our army." Cao Ang opened his eyes and said with a sneer on his face.

"Go on, the whole army is on alert, including the scouts. We must find out the traces of the bandits and make no mistakes." "Here!" Zhang Xiu agreed and made arrangements immediately.

Soon, the entire military camp was on alert.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled.

In the darkness, there were shouts of killing.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of killing were deafening, like a landslide and a tsunami.

This is clearly a large-scale battle, and it is also a very large-scale battle.

As the shouts of killing rang out, Cao Ang suddenly became energetic and immediately led 300 elites out of the camp.

"kill!"

"Kill all Cao's troops."

Waves of roars came, and the shouts of killing became more and more intense.

Cao Ang led the people up the high slope and looked up.

"hiss!"

Cao Ang took a breath and looked horrified.

Because Cao Ang clearly saw the number of enemy troops.

five hundred!

And they were all cavalry.

The densely packed cavalry blocked the moonlight and blocked Cao Ang's sight, making it impossible to see the specific number.

"Quick, blow the horn." Cao Ang shouted.

"Ugh."

The sharp and piercing whistle instantly resounded through the night sky.

The battalions of Cao's army responded quickly, and trumpets sounded one after another.

"Da da da!"

A large number of infantry came out of the camp and ran towards the high slope where Cao Ang was.

"Archer, shoot!"

Cao Ang roared angrily.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Feather arrows were flying all over the sky, covering the forward positions.

"Pfft!"

The arrows fell on the horses and nailed them to death.

The cavalrymen rolled off their horses.

But they were wearing armor. Although a few arrows hit the gaps in the armor, they did not hurt their lives.

They all drew out the horizontal knives from their waists, and then wielded the horizontal knives to kill the approaching Cao army.

Blood spurts.

In a short time, the cavalry from both sides were fighting together.

Cao Ang frowned. He didn't expect that the bandit's strength was so terrifying.

It is indeed the most powerful army under Yuan Shao's command, with strong combat effectiveness. Even if Cao's army is an infantry, it seems a little vulnerable to the impact of cavalry, and is retreating steadily.

"Shield bearers, hold off the enemy. Spearmen, line up to meet the enemy."

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of shields clashing was heard, and Cao Jun's soldiers immediately held their shields to resist.

"what!!"

Screams suddenly sounded.

The shield of Cao Jun's soldier hit the enemy's sword and killed the enemy on the spot, dripping with blood. (End of chapter)
