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

Cao Ang pondered for a moment, then said: "We can draw a group of officials from various counties to guard Yanzhou.

At the same time, we can also recruit refugees from various counties to supplement Yanzhou."

Chen Gong and Xu Shu nodded and agreed that this idea could be considered.

After Cao Ang left, Xu Shu found Dian Wei and told him Cao Ang's idea.

Dian Wei was furious: "My Lord, you are too merciful. Who is Lu Bu, the governor of Yanzhou? He is the leader of the four great princes of the Han Dynasty.

We are already being righteous if we don't kill Lu Bu now, but we are actually letting the tiger go back to the mountains."

"What do you know?" Xu Shu glared at Dian Wei, then slowly said, "Lü Bu is very strong. Even in our heyday, our chances of winning were less than 50%.

Moreover, Lu Bu's influence is extremely wide. If we fall out with him, it will not be good for us.

We now need to consolidate our rule. Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang are all relatives of the Han Dynasty. We can use their power to consolidate our position. "

Dian Wei suddenly realized that this was the reason. He scratched his head and said, "So, we have to let Lu Bu go. What a pity."

"Lü Bu is a tyrant with great ambitions. He certainly would not be willing to be the governor of Yanzhou for the rest of his life.

I estimate that in the near future, Lü Bu will lead his men to plan a rebellion against Cao Ang." Xu Shu analyzed.

Dian Wei raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"In that case, we can help Lu Bu." Dian Wei said happily after he figured it out.

"Although Lu Bu is a bit annoying, his martial arts are amazing. With him in charge of Yanzhou, our lives will be easier."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's not just Lu Bu, there are also Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang. These two guys are not simple either."

"Hmph! Let them fight each other, I'll just focus on training the soldiers. Hehe, once I have trained the soldiers well, I'll wipe out these bastards in one fell swoop." Dian Wei said, rubbing his hands.

Xu Shu shook his head. He knew Dian Wei wanted revenge. But Xu Shu hoped Dian Wei would not forget his original intention. Cao Cao was their common goal.

Xu Shu said: "For now, forget about Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. We must hurry up and train our troops. Once our troops are strengthened, we can expand our strength."

"What Yuan Hao said is very true. I will go to train the soldiers right away." Dian Wei clasped his fists and said.

On the other side, Cao Ang was reorganizing his troops and preparing to fight against Cao Cao's army.

Cao Ang’s plan was simple: to capture Ye City directly and force Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

However, Cao Ang had just organized an exercise when he was stopped by Ju Su.

Ju Shou said with a bitter face: "My lord, Cao Cao's army is now heading south.

"If we launch an exercise at this time, it might attract Cao Cao's attention. If Cao Cao knew that the lord was planning to perform an exercise, he would definitely be on guard."

After listening to Ju Su's explanation, Cao Ang understood: "It's my fault for being careless. I didn't expect Cao Cao to act so quickly."

"My lord, I think Cao Cao's speed of moving south is beyond our expectations. Perhaps he simply does not want to continue wasting manpower on us." Ju Su expressed his guess.

"No way." Cao Ang frowned. Cao Cao actually dared to run away.

Ju Su said, "My lord, Cao Cao's reputation in Jingzhou has become bad.

Moreover, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are both wary of Cao Cao, and a large-scale conflict will break out between the two sides sooner or later."

"That's true." Cao Ang nodded in agreement. Cao Cao had already offended quite a few people.

"So, my lord, you need to conserve your strength now and it is not advisable to fight again." Ju Su advised.

Cao Ang said: "I know this, I just feel sad that Cao Cao dared to run away." "My lord, don't worry about this. Cao Cao is now in a difficult situation unless he gives up Jizhou.

Otherwise he can only move on. And the threat from you, my lord, is not small either." Ju Shou said with a slight smile.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Cao Ang asked puzzledly.

"My lord, didn't you destroy Sun Ce? Cao Cao will definitely hold you responsible for this." Ju Su said with a smile.

"I think Cao Cao is hoping that you will die in Yanzhou.

If this happens, my lord, your image in Cao Cao's eyes will plummet. It will be easier for Cao Cao to take Yanzhou."

"This guy!" Cao Ang felt terrified just thinking about it.

"So my lord, you must not lead your troops to attack Cao Cao immediately when he goes south. Otherwise, Cao Cao will doubt your sincerity." Ju Su reminded.

"So, I have to keep my troops in place now?" Cao Ang asked depressedly.

"My lord, it's not that I don't recommend you to attack. It's just that your troops are not the strongest. If you attack rashly, you may encounter unexpected events." Ju Su said, "So you have to be patient."

Cao Ang sighed. He was indeed short of troops, otherwise he would not have to wait for Cao Cao to march south.

"Then let's observe first. After Cao Cao enters Yanzhou, send someone to contact Lu Bu and ask Lu Bu to send troops to contain him." Cao Ang ordered.

"Yes." Ju Su accepted the order.

Cao Cao did not conceal the news of his trip southwards. It spread all over the country that night, and countless princes began to discuss it.

"Cao Mengde was left with nowhere else to go and chose to cooperate with Dong Zhuo."

"Cao Mengde's luck is so bad that he chose this critical moment."

"This is a must. Who told Cao Cao to have so many enemies? Dong Zhuo wanted to swallow Cao Cao up. Now Cao Cao chose to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is very happy."

Cao Ang's men were all smart people and they knew the key very well.

Cao Cao's choice to cooperate with Dong Zhuo must have been driven by interests. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have taken the risk to do so.

Xun Yu asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what do you think of the cooperation between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo?"

Guo Jia pondered for a while and said, "It is inevitable that the lord will cooperate with Dong Zhuo. But the lord will not allow Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo to cooperate. They will definitely hinder each other and guard against each other."

Guo Jia's analysis is very accurate. If Cao Ang and Dong Zhuo cooperate, both sides will definitely not let down their guard.

Xun Yu nodded slightly: "That's right. So what should we do now?"

Guo Jia said: "Wen Ruo, now that the lord is reorganizing his troops, why not take this opportunity to seize Qingzhou."

"I have to discuss this matter with my lord. After all, my lord also has to consider the situation in Yanzhou." Xun Yu said after thinking for a while.

Cao Cao had many forces in Yanzhou, and Cao Ang would certainly encounter various obstacles if he wanted to seize Yanzhou.

Xun Yu felt that he should discuss it with Cao Ang. After all, this was a big matter and Cao Ang had the right to make the decision.

Guo Jia knew Xun Yu's concerns, so he nodded in agreement.

Xun Yu came to Cao Ang with this news.

Cao Ang understood what Xun Yu meant when he saw this. Cao Ang was very satisfied with Xun Yu's approach. Xun Yu always considered things comprehensively. (End of this chapter)
