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

Huang Zhong rode up to Cao Ang and said, "My lord, how do you know that Yuan Shu can't sit still?"

"I have worked with Yuan Shu before, so I know what kind of person he is. He is arrogant and likes to show off.

If he didn't have any trump cards, he would definitely hide in the cave and let Liu Biao do nothing to him.

It is impossible for such a person not to be fully prepared. Now that Yuan Shu is so active, it proves that he has enough cards in his hand to defeat our army. "Cao Ang said with a smile.

Huang Zhong touched his head. He didn't understand this kind of thing.

"Fengxiao, Gongtai, what do you think?" Cao Ang turned to ask Li You and Guo Jia for their opinions.

Li You smiled and said, "My lord is wise. Yuan Shu must have a trick up his sleeve. But what trick does he want to use against us?"

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu will definitely use his poison or some strange tricks.

Regardless of which method we use, I think we should take the initiative and eliminate some of Yuan Shu's threatening troops before he launches his attack."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Li You.

Li You laughed loudly, patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "Feng Xiao, you are really smart, this is a good idea."

Cao Ang also nodded: "Feng Xiao, you go and make the arrangements."

"Yes!" Guo Jia excitedly went to carry out the order.

Yuan Shu's men were all very confused as to why these two men were so mysterious.

Cao Ang's eyes swept around and finally stopped on a forest of trees. He spoke lightly.

"Yuan Shao, you've been hiding for so long. Wouldn't it be rude if you don't come out to see me?"

Cao Ang's voice was not loud, but there were experts all around and they could all hear it.

Yuan Shu was shocked. He didn't expect that Cao Ang could find him hiding nearby so easily.

He knew that the place where he was hiding was very secluded, but Cao Ang could actually find him. This Cao Ang was really not an ordinary person.

Yuan Shu was not stupid either. Since Cao Ang had discovered him, he had to get out.

Yuan Shu came out, bowed to Cao Ang and said, "My lord is truly a god. He actually found my whereabouts."

Yuan Shu was also a heroic man. Even when he was down and out, he never lost his composure.

"Haha, this is not important. What's important is that you are now standing against me, so prepare to die!" Cao Ang said coldly.

"Haha, Cao Ang, I admit that you are powerful. But do you think you can capture Yecheng with just 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers and horses? You are underestimating me, Yuan Shu." Yuan Shu said arrogantly.

"Really?" Cao Ang said with a smile.

Yuan Shu was shocked to see Cao Ang so calm. He suddenly felt that he had underestimated Cao Ang.

"Yuan Shu, I advise you to surrender. I don't want to hurt innocent people!" Cao Ang warned Yuan Shu again.

Cao Ang knew that Yuan Shu must have something powerful in his hands. However, Cao Ang was confident that he could suppress Yuan Shu.

"Hmph, Cao Ang, forget it." Yuan Shu shouted angrily, then drew his sword and stabbed towards Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was prepared. He reached out and grasped Yuan Shu's sword-holding right wrist, pulled it to the side, and at the same time raised his knee and hit Yuan Shu in the abdomen.

Yuan Shu screamed and flew backwards, holding his stomach and wailing in pain.

Cao Ang walked slowly towards Yuan Shu and said, "Yuan Shu, oh Yuan Shu, let alone you, even if it was Lu Bu back then, I would have easily defeated him."

Yuan Shu’s face was pale. He wanted to get up, but his body was too weak.

"Cao Ang, don't go too far." Yuan Shu stared at Cao Ang viciously. He was filled with anger.

"I just bullied you, what can you do about it?" Cao Ang said sarcastically, "Go back to your lair, useless bastard. I'll let you know the price of angering me."

"Just wait! I, Yuan Shu, will take revenge sooner or later." Yuan Shu roared. "Revenge?" Cao Ang mocked, "Then you can try now. I'm always here to accompany you."

"Let's go!" Yuan Shu, supporting his guards, left in embarrassment.

Cao Ang had a smile on his face. He said to Huang Zhong, "Yuan Tu, you lead the army into Yecheng. I will destroy Yecheng today!"

"I obey your command." Huang Zhong said with a fist salute.

Cao Ang then said to Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan: "You lead the cavalry to follow Yuan Tu and make sure he is safe. If Yuan Tu is in danger, I will only hold you responsible."

Zhao Yun and his companions quickly agreed.

Huang Zhong also looked at Dian Wei, Wei Yan and others with anticipation.

After Cao Ang personally sent Huang Zhong away, he asked Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, how is the research I asked you to do going?"

Pang Tong took out a piece of metal from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Ang, saying respectfully, "My lord, this is the armor I had someone make."

Cao Ang took the armor and examined it carefully: "Shi Yuan, can this thing resist arrows?"

"This is the simplest one." Pang Tong explained: "My lord, this kind of armor has much stronger defense than ordinary steel, and is invulnerable to swords and spears.

Once worn, it cannot be damaged unless it is a special weapon."

"This armor is really good. You are worthy of being Shi Yuan." Cao Ang praised Pang Tong's method.

Pang Tong said modestly: "My lord, you are too kind. This armor can only protect against ordinary swords and axes, and is useless against weapons that transcend the ordinary."

"Shi Yuan is right. But having something is better than having nothing. I believe in your vision." Cao Ang said.

"Thank you for your trust, my lord." Pang Tong said gratefully.

"Where is Yuanzhi?" Cao Ang asked.

Pang Tong pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "Yuanzhi is studying artillery, and it is estimated that it will be completed soon."

"Oh, how long will it take?" Cao Ang was very concerned.

“According to Yuanzhi’s design, it will take at least half a year.

My Lord, don't worry, I will send elite troops to help Yuan Zhi during this period of time." Pang Tong promised.

Cao Ang said with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave it to you and Kong Ming."

"Yes!" Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang both agreed solemnly.

Afterwards, Cao Ang returned to the palace.

As soon as Cao Ang returned to the palace, Cao Cao sent someone to report to Cao Ang.

"Meng De, do you have something to ask me?" Cao Ang asked.

"My lord, Meng De invites you to Shouchun for a chat." The visitor replied.

Cao Ang frowned and said, "Shouchun? Why did Meng De summon me to Shouchun? Could it be that Meng De wants to fight me?"

"I don't know about that." The messenger shook his head. He was just a messenger under Cao Cao and he didn't dare to interfere in other matters.

Cao Ang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will go to Shouchun."

After the messenger left, Cao Ang called Chen Deng, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and Ju Su.

"My dear ministers, Meng De wants to summon me to Shouchun for a gathering. What do you think?" Cao Ang said this matter.

Everyone looked at each other, all with expressions of watching the fun. (End of this chapter)
