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

In this way, he would be able to relax a lot and wouldn't have to travel back and forth between Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Zhang Liao's current plan is to first move the people of Qingzhou to Youzhou, and then slowly develop it. After there are enough talents, he will consider other places.

However, Zhang Liao did not expect that his decision would put him in trouble.

Zhang Liao had more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, and with his own strength, he could easily sweep across the entire Qingzhou. But he happened to encounter an enemy like Cao Ang.

Cao Ang had a group of counselors under his command, as well as the mysterious Jia Xu, which made him dare not act rashly.

Zhang Liao also wanted to leave Qingzhou, but how could Cao Ang give him the chance?

Cao Ang now hated Zhang Liao so much that he dreamed every night that he was killed by Zhang Liao.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Liao left Qingzhou, Cao Ang would immediately mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was really fed up with such days.

Zhang Liao wanted to leave Qingzhou, but was afraid of Cao Ang's ambush, so he did not take any action and accumulated strength.

Zhang Liao was in the dark, Cao Cao was in the light, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

Cao Cao believed that he now had absolute control and he had the card of Yuan Tan in his hand.

Yuan Shao also needed his help, so he ignored Yuan Shao for the time being.

However, Zhang Liao believed that Cao Cao was not worth his troops' dispatch, and that he also needed to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou and should not be distracted.

The two heroes, each with their own ulterior motives, lived in peace.

At this time, Cao Ang received an urgent message.

"My lord, Cao Cao is recruiting soldiers and horses on a large scale in Qingzhou." Li Ru handed the letter to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang took a look at it and immediately cursed: "Damn it, this Cao Cao actually stabbed us in the back?
No wonder he didn't fight back during this period. It turns out he was planning to take advantage of the situation. Humph, what a despicable and shameless thief. "

Cao Ang was very angry. This situation made Cao Ang very annoyed. If Cao Cao continued like this, then Cao Ang's plan would easily be destroyed.

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "My Lord, have you forgotten? There is still Yuan Shao in Yanzhou."

Cao Ang slapped his head and cursed with a smile: "Look at my head, I actually forgot that there is such a guy in Yanzhou."

Cao Ang thought of Yuan Shao in Yanzhou. Yuan Shao was an old fox, and he must have noticed that there was something wrong with Cao Cao during this period.

However, Yuan Shao did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would be tricked by Cao Cao.

So Yuan Shao kept dragging his feet without making any statement, allowing Cao Cao to let down his guard.

Now Yuan Shao didn't want to delay any longer. He wanted to strike Cao Cao a heavy blow before he rose to power.

"Is Yuan Benchu ​​finally unable to sit still?" Cao Ang said with narrowed eyes.

In Cao Ang's impression, Yuan Shao has always been sinister and cunning. This time Yuan Shao took action, which means that Yuan Shao has made up his mind to deal with Cao Cao.

"My lord, Yuan Benchu's move this time must be stopped. Otherwise, your plan will fail." Li Ru suggested.

Cao Ang nodded and said, "I understand."

Yuan Shao is now at the most critical moment, Cao Ang can not sit idly by. After all, Cao Cao is his opponent, can not let him develop.

Cao Ang instructed Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, go and discuss with Xun Yu and Tian Feng to see if they have any way to stop Yuan Shao from attacking Yanzhou."

"I obey your order!" Guo Jia said with a bow.

After Guo Jia left, Li Ru reminded him, "My lord, Cao Cao has been recruiting soldiers in Qingzhou for a while.

I'm afraid he has set his sights on Jizhou. I suggest that you send an elite force to Jizhou to stop Cao Cao's actions."

Li Ru finished speaking, and the other counselors also agreed. With Cao Cao in Jizhou, they had no way to implement their strategies and could only retreat and defend.

Although the battle in Yanzhou is important, the battle in Jizhou is also very urgent.

Cao Ang frowned. This was actually very simple, but it would require a lot of supplies and money, which Cao Ang was reluctant to do.

"My lord, now is a critical moment for the survival of the country. We cannot hesitate." Chen Gong stepped forward and advised.

Cao Ang pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Pass on my order to appoint Zhao Yun as the General of the Western Expedition.

He led 3,000 Flying Bear troops to Jizhou to assist Jizhou Governor Yuan Shang in defending Jizhou."

When Zhao Yun heard that he was going to lead the army to war, his face lit up with joy, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will obey your order."

"Also, let Huang Zhong and Lu Bu lead 20,000 cavalrymen south to assist Zhao Yun in resisting the invasion of Cao's army." Cao Ang gave the order again.

Cao Ang planned to use these three armies to attack Cao Cao from both sides, hoping to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop, thus eliminating his worries.

The counselors had no objection.

Chen Gong suddenly said, "My lord, since the General of the Western Expedition has gone out to fight, why not let Taishi Ci lead the troops north?

Taishi Ci is a famous general, and with him guarding Yecheng, the lord can rest assured. "

Cao Ang shook his head and refused, “No, Taishi Ci is my right-hand man and cannot leave my side.

Besides, I have many brave generals under my command, not even Taishi Ci. I don’t believe Cao Cao is that powerful.”

"My lord is wise." The ministers had no choice but to obey Cao Ang.

Cao Ang looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai, if I go to war, will you assist me?"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, although Gongtai is capable, he is too old. My lord, please find someone else."

Cao Ang knew that Chen Gong was doing this for his own good, but Cao Ang knew even more clearly that it would not be appropriate for Chen Gong to stay in Luoyang.

"Gongtai, you are my right-hand man. If you leave, I will lose my right-hand man." Cao Ang said firmly.

Chen Gong knew that Cao Ang would never agree to his request, so he had no choice but to give in and said, "In that case, Gongtai will respectfully obey your order."

Chen Gong's attitude satisfied Cao Ang. He liked people like Chen Gong who were tactful.

Moreover, Chen Gong was indeed talented, and Cao Ang felt more at ease having him by his side.

Cao Ang continued, “Since Gongtai is willing to stay, he will be responsible for the logistics support.

Kong Ming and Wen Ruo will be in charge of Yanzhou, and I will personally lead the troops to the north to fight Henei County."

"Yes!" Chen Gong and Jia Xu responded at the same time.

"I will take good care of those aristocratic families. I don't believe that I can't defeat them." Cao Ang said in a cold voice.

"The lord is benevolent and virtuous, and the people will surely sing praises to his wisdom." Jia Xu said.

Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "I do things without seeking praise from others. I just hope to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice."

Chen Gong and other counselors sighed in their hearts, thinking that Cao Ang was too kind, which was not a good thing.

"My lord, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Li Ru said at this time.

"Please speak, my dear minister!" Cao Ang said with a smile.

"My lord, these aristocratic families not only have huge interests, but also have huge influence. My lord, please do not underestimate them. Otherwise, you will let the wolf into the house." Li Ru said cautiously. (End of this chapter)
