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

When he arrived at the banquet venue, Cao Cao was shocked to see that not only Yuan Shu was there, but Yuan Tan was also there.

When Yuan Tan saw Cao Cao and Guo Jia, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle. May my uncle live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Nephew, please stand up quickly. Today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be formal." Cao Cao helped Yuan Tan up and said.

"Thank you, uncle!" Yuan Tan stood up.

When Yuan Shu saw Cao Cao coming, he laughed and said, "Zi Chu, you are here, come and sit down!"

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shu's face, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

This guy is really not a good person. When he saw Cao Cao coming, he actually showed a flattering smile.

If it were in the past, Cao Cao would definitely have a good impression of Yuan Shu.

But things were different now. The relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had deteriorated beyond repair.

Cao Cao greeted him calmly: "Brother Bofu, long time no see."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time. Zichu, don't just stand there, take a seat!"

"Thank you, Brother Bofu!" Cao Cao was not polite either.

"Today is a family dinner, don't go home until you are drunk!" Yuan Shu raised his wine glass and said to Cao Cao.

"Brother Bofu, this time if you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to defeat the thief Cao. Then you and I will share the world equally!" Cao Cao said loudly after taking a few sips of wine.

"Hahaha! Great! It feels great!" Yuan Shu laughed.

"Come on! Brother Bofu, let's drink!" Cao Cao said proudly.

The two men clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu chatted very happily, as if they had forgotten the hatred between them.

Yuan Tan, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

While Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were chatting happily, they did not notice the strange behavior of Yuan Tan beside them.

The two of them drank happily, and soon, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were a little drunk.

Cao Cao said to Yuan Shu, "Brother Bofu, I am a little drunk. How about you?"

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "I am drunk too!"

"Brother Bofu, let's stop here today. I will take you back home to rest!" said Cao Cao.

"No hurry, no hurry!" Yuan Shu waved his hand to stop Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu in confusion, wondering what Yuan Shu was up to.

"Zichu, I heard that you are proficient in strategy. Why don't you help me deduce how to repel the Cao bandits?" Yuan Shu said bluntly.

Cao Cao cursed in his heart: Old fox!
Yuan Shu asked me to help him deduce the plan, which was obviously to test me.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said in a pretentious manner: "My lord, our chances of winning this battle are not great."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!" Yuan Shu said.

"Liu Jingsheng is powerful, while Cao Cao has a strong army and horses. Their strength is equal. It will be difficult to determine the winner in the short term. If we want to win, there is only one way.

Cao Ang went north, captured Yecheng from Jizhou, and then captured Yuzhou from Nanyang County. He then went north to join Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was outnumbered and unable to resist.

Cao Cao has Liu Bei to hold him back, so he has no time to worry about our army. Therefore, our army can cross the river smoothly from Nanyang County and Xuzhou."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stared at Yuan Shu, waiting for his answer.

Cao Cao's gaze was so sharp that Yuan Shu did not dare to look him in the eye.

Yuan Shu cursed in his heart: This Cao Cao is really not a simple person, he actually saw through my intentions.

Although Yuan Shu was afraid of Cao Cao in his heart, he still spoke toughly.

"Zichu, your strategy is indeed good. But you have overlooked one problem, that is, Cao Ang cannot go north." "Brother Bofu, why is it impossible for Cao Ang to go north?" Cao Cao asked.

"Because Cao Ang is now fighting in Jizhou, he has no time to spare. If Cao Ang wants to destroy Youzhou, he will need sufficient military support.

It is impossible for Cao Ang to abandon Youzhou and march south. Unless Cao Ang has lost his mind, Yuan Shu said confidently.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "This is just your guess. Perhaps Cao Ang has already found some free time."

"Humph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, and then said: "Cao Ang will not go north."

"Then how do you know that Cao Ang will not go north?" Cao Cao asked.

Yuan Shu said: "If Cao Ang does not go north, he will be seeking death! If Cao Ang does not go north, Liu Bei can attack Xiangyang from Nanyang County.

Then we can easily seize Nanyang County. Cao Ang is not stupid and will never do such a thing. "

Yuan Shu's words made Cao Cao fall into deep thought. According to Yuan Shu, what he said seemed to make sense.

But Yuan Shu had no idea that Cao Cao had already anticipated this.

"In that case, let's get rid of Liu Bei and Chen Gong first." Cao Cao finally stated his goal.

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Liu Xuande and Chen Gong are both smart people. They will definitely hide. I'm afraid we can't do anything to them."

"Haha, this requires your assistance, Brother Bofu." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"How to assist?" Yuan Shu asked.

"First, you have to tell me the location of Liu Bei and Chen Gong. Second, you have to pass this news to Cao Cao." Cao Cao stated his purpose.

Yuan Shu's expression changed slightly: "Zi Chu, are you trying to sow discord?"

"Brother Bofu has misunderstood. Zichu, you and I should form an alliance to fight against Cao Cao.

Cao thief, Liu Xuande and Chen Gong are all enemies, how could I do such a thing? "Cao Cao said righteously.

Yuan Shu complained in his heart, if it weren't for your instigation, would I have gone to so much trouble to bring down Cao Ang?

Yuan Shu hated betrayers the most, so he shouted at Cao Cao: "If you dare to leak any information, I will kill you!"

"Brother Bofu, are you threatening me?" Cao Cao asked back.

Yuan Shu was suddenly speechless.

"Brother Bofu, you and I are both straightforward people. Let's not play this kind of childish game." Cao Cao said contemptuously.

"Okay, I won't bother with you anymore." Yuan Shu said.

"Then please tell me the exact location of Chen Gong and Liu Bei, Brother Bofu. I will take my leave now."

Cao Cao stood up and prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off!" Yuan Shu also stood up, then pointed at the wine on the table, motioning Cao Cao to take it, and filled a glass for himself.

Cao Cao looked at the wine on the table and suddenly said, "Brother Bofu, are you testing me?"

"Haha, there's no need to be so hypocritical between you and me. Aren't you just testing me?" Yuan Shu admitted without hesitation.

"As long as Brother Bofu is happy." Cao Cao picked up the wine and drank it.

After putting down the wine glass, Cao Cao said, "Brother Bofu, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.

Cao Cao turned and left.

"Cao Mengde, my Yuan family will not lose." Yuan Shu murmured as he watched Cao Cao's receding figure.

Yuan Shu had just returned to his mansion when he found his younger brother Yuan Shang looking for him.

"Zhongzhi, do you have anything to ask your father?" Yuan Shu asked. (End of this chapter)
