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

If there is any change in Cao Ang, we can contact several other princes to encircle Cao Ang together. Cao Ang has nothing to fear! "

"I will obey my lord's orders!" Others agreed one after another.

Cao Cao continued: "Gu decided to personally command the elite troops and stationed in Hejian to assist Wenyuan in resisting Yuan Shu's attack.

In addition, envoys were sent to inform Xu Huang, Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun, ordering them to prepare to send troops to attack Yanzhou in two days. "

"Lord, if this happens, Yanzhou will be in danger." Xun Chen's face changed slightly.

"Yanzhou is the most fertile area under the Gu rule. If it falls, our morale will fall to the bottom.

Therefore, Gu must be taken back. "Cao Cao said with firm eyes.

After hearing this, the others were secretly shocked.

It is really rare that Cao Cao has such deep feelings for Yanzhou that he even wants to take it back at any cost.

Xun Chen understood Cao Cao's obsession with Yanzhou.

Yanzhou is the hometown of his father Xun You, and Cao Cao has long coveted Yanzhou for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to capture Yanzhou this time, even if Cao Cao lost some troops, it was still worth it.

"If you have Wen in Yanzhou, you should be able to block Yuan Shu's attack. But on the other side of Jizhou, I think Yuan Shao will definitely not give in.

When the time comes when we are faced with a two-pronged attack, we will be in trouble. " Xun Chen reminded.

"What Gongda said is true. So I sent someone to deliver a message to Yuan Shao." Cao Cao agreed with Xun Chen.

"Also, Lord, we should send troops to Qingzhou as soon as possible to stop Liu Biao's conspiracy." Xun Chen reminded.

Cao Cao frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to send troops to Qingzhou right now. Liu Xian was in a weak state now, and he had no certainty of victory.

"I will think about it first, and then I will make a decision after I have the results!" Cao Cao rejected Xun Chen's request.

"My lord is wise!" Xun Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Cao Cao would directly agree to send troops to Qingzhou.

Yuan Shu also received news of Cao Ang's victory, and Yuan Shu suddenly became anxious.

Cao Ang is becoming more and more powerful now, and Yuan Shu begins to worry.

"Cao Ang, you forced me to do all this." Yuan Shu said through gritted teeth.

Yuan Shu originally wanted to fight Cao Ang to the death.

But now he felt something was wrong. Cao Ang was so powerful, so Yuan Tan and Sun Ce had no chance of winning.

Yuan Shao had no way to deal with Cao Ang, and Yuan Shu had no need to send troops to Qingzhou.

Yuan Shu suddenly remembered that Cao Ang had just defeated Xiliang and still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so he thought about running away quickly.

Just doing this would make Yuan Shu feel embarrassed.

Yuan Shu could give up Jizhou, but he could not give up his pride.

"Hmph, the lonely emperor, how can you just leave like this? If you want to leave, you have to wait until you win the battle." Yuan Shu muttered to himself.

Later, Yuan Shu called Tian Feng and Shen Pei.

"Yuan Tu, please help me find out more about this. What should I do next?" Yuan Shu asked.

Tian Feng and Shen Ping looked at each other, and then said together: "My lord, I think it is not appropriate for my lord to stay in Yecheng anymore."

Yuan Shu glared at them: "Of course I know that it is not appropriate to stay in Yecheng, but if I leave like this, how can I save my face?"

Tian Feng and Shen Pei both admired Yuan Shu's shameless spirit.

"My lord, Cao Ang has strong troops and horses now. Moreover, he has just conquered Xiliang and his soldiers are tired.

Our army is full of energy. If the lord continues to stay in Yecheng, he may suffer a loss.

The subordinates thought that the master should stay away from the edge for the time being.

Wait until the lord recuperates before making a comeback. "Tian Feng advised.

"Recuperate?" Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "If I want to rest, I have to wait until Cao Ang is unlucky, then I can rest peacefully. Yuan Tu, you are still a little young."

Both Tian Feng and Shen Pei were despised by Yuan Shu. This guy is still as mean as ever.

"Lord, although we are enemies, we have to admit that your lord is talented and powerful. I kindly ask your lord to leave Yecheng as soon as possible." Tian Feng and Shen Pei knelt in front of Yuan Shu and begged.

Yuan Shu sighed: "That's all, for Yuan Tu's sake, just leave."

Yuan Shu finally chose to leave.

Seeing that Yuan Shu finally agreed to leave, Tian Feng and Shen Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, Tian Feng found Xun Yu and told him about Yuan Shu's decision to retreat.

"My Lord is actually withdrawing his troops." Xun Yu was extremely surprised.

As Yuan Shu's adviser, Xun Yu naturally hoped that Yuan Shu would stay in Yecheng and fight Cao Ang to the death. Yuan Shu actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops now, which made Xun Yu very puzzled.

"We can't influence your lord's decision," Tian Feng said bitterly.

Xun Yu remained silent.

Tian Feng and Shen Pei raised their hands to Xun Yu and said, "Master Xun, please persuade my lord.

After all, our army has just experienced a defeat and it will take some time to recover before it can regain its strength.

If the lord leaves Yecheng, it will be very detrimental to our army. "

Xun Yu sighed: "You two, please get up."

"Thank you, Mr. Xun!" The two stood up.

"Xun Yu understands the loyalty of you two." Xun Yu said.

"My lord has made a decision now, no matter what we say, it will be useless.

Let's discuss the specific details of the Lord's retreat later. "

Tian Feng and Shen Pei both nodded in agreement, and then began to discuss Yuan Shu's retreat.

Cao Ang won a great victory and his morale was high.

Cao Ang summoned all civilian and military generals to discuss a plan to deal with Yuan Shu.

Cao Ang first asked Li Gui: "Fengxiao, what is Yuan Shu's situation now?"

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu has been huddled inside Yecheng these past few days and has not gone out. I guess Yuan Shu is afraid." Li Gui said respectfully.

"Haha, I'm scared. He Yuan Benchu ​​is also afraid of death!" Lu Bu laughed.

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu is not easily intimidated. Yuan Shu is timid and fearful, but he is just afraid of the strength of our army."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone praised.

"Yuan Shu is a softie. But where does his strength lie? I decided to let Meng Yan lead the Flying Bear Cavalry to harass Yuan Shu's logistics supply line." Cao Ang decided.

Liu Bei, Guo Jia and others did not refute. They knew that Cao Ang's intention was just to let Zhang Fei perform well and teach Yuan Shu a lesson.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone agreed.

"In that case, let's prepare to go to war." Cao Ang ordered.

Cao Ang decided to immediately lead 500 tiger and leopard cavalry and 1,000 infantry to go on an expedition.

Because Cao Ang still has 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry.

Except for a small number of these cavalry who were dispatched back to Xu County to protect the palace and defend other aristocratic families, the remaining cavalry were all handed over to Cao Ang.

As for Zhao Yun's cavalry, since they were used at critical moments, Cao Ang was unwilling to let them go out and take risks.

Cao Ang believed in Zhao Yun even more, so he left these cavalry in Xu County to prepare for any eventuality. (End of chapter)
