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

In addition, we will call together all the princes to discuss a plan to deal with Cao Ang."

"Yes!" Chen Gong agreed.

On the other side, Cao Ang received news that Sun Ce and Liu Bei were actually in cahoots.

"They really are omnipresent. I have to speed up the capture of Xuzhou.

But before that, I have to eliminate some of the hidden dangers first." Cao Ang sneered.

"Send orders to Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and ask them to lead their troops and capture Nanyang County of Xuzhou within three days." Cao Ang ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Li Gui immediately went down to make arrangements.

Cao Ang is very busy now, and he still needs to continue attacking other places.

To the west of Xuzhou was Cao Cao's power, and Cao Ang did not want to provoke him for the time being, so he moved the battlefield to the east.

Cao Ang ordered Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun to lead troops across the river and occupy Yuyang County in the north of Donghai State. Cao Ang wanted to connect Donghai State with Nanyang County.

Cao Cao's forces were in the east, and if they wanted to cross the river, they had to pass through the Donghai Kingdom.

Cao Ang now wants to use the Donghai Kingdom to control the three port cities of Donglai, Guangling and Jiyin.

The three counties of Donglai, Guangling and Jiyin are of great importance, controlling the throat of Donglai and Donglai County.

If Cao Ang wants to incorporate it into his territory, he must hold it firmly in his own hands.

The southern part of Xuzhou was the territory of Yanzhou, and Cao Ang also wanted to bring Yanzhou under his jurisdiction.

Cao Ang wanted to establish a governor in Donglai County to specifically fight against Cao Cao.

The post of governor of Donglai County was given to Xun Yu, so that Cao Ang could free up his hands to deal with Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun led the army and occupied Nanyang County of Donghai Kingdom within three days.

After receiving the intelligence, Cao's army was shocked. Cao Ang's army had suddenly attacked from Nanjun to Dongyang County.

Cao's army immediately issued an alarm and urgently adjusted the battle plan.

The Cao army in the south of Xuzhou was still worrying about how to stop Liu's army from advancing into Xuzhou, but now they were in trouble.

Cao Cao was also frightened, and Cao Ang actually bypassed him and headed straight for Xuzhou.

"Damn Cao Ang, is my threat so small?" Cao Cao roared angrily.

"My lord, Cao Ang is now putting all his efforts into attacking Xuzhou. If you retreat now, it may be too late." Ju Su advised.

Cao Cao's face was uncertain, and he finally said.

"Order the entire army to act according to the original plan and make sure to hold Cao Ang back. I will personally lead the elite troops to deal with Cao Ang. If there is a chance, I will definitely kill Cao Ang."

"My lord is wise! I will obey your orders!" Ju Su breathed a sigh of relief, finally persuading Cao Cao.

Ju Su then ordered the entire army to prepare to fight Cao Ang, while Cao Cao took his personal guards to the northern part of Xuzhou. He needed to stop Liu Bei's advance.

The situation in Yanzhou was turbulent, but Cao Ang didn't pay much attention to it. He was busy with his own affairs.

First of all, a grand banquet was being held in Cao Ang’s palace.

The guests at the banquet were all people Cao Ang trusted, such as Jia Xu, Ju Shou and others.

Tonight's banquet was ordered by Cao Ang himself.

Of course, this banquet also had another purpose, which was to celebrate Cao Ang's ascension to the throne.

Although Cao Ang had only been on the throne for a short time, the court officials had already gotten used to it.

Cao Ang had been on the throne for so long, but there was no coronation ceremony.

Now that Cao Ang has ascended the throne, there must be a grand ceremony to show its solemnity. Cao Ang sat on the high platform, Jia Xu and others stood beside him, and beside them were Xu Chu, Dian Man, Hua Tuo, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Tian Feng, Xu Shu and other civil and military officials.

Cao Ang was wearing a red robe and a crown with dragon pattern today, a white jade pendant around his waist, and red gold shoes on his feet.

He wore a flat crown on his head, his eyebrows were slanted into his temples, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he exuded the domineering and kingly temperament.

Cao Ang glanced at everyone and finally stopped his gaze on Hua Tuo.

Cao Ang asked with a smile: "Hua Qing, do you think my appearance is the best in the world?"

"Your Highness, I dare not criticize you." Hua Tuo said modestly.

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Haha! I really can't afford to be the best in the world.

Hua Qing, you are the person I trust the most, just tell me. I am very curious. "

"Your Highness, what I said is true. You are the best in the world tonight, no one can compare to you." Hua Tuo told the truth.

"Haha! I knew you understood what I was thinking!" Cao Ang laughed.

Hua Tuo smiled bitterly, he felt that what he said was the truth.

"In that case, I will appoint you as prime minister to assist me in handling government affairs," Cao Ang announced.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Hua Tuo was overjoyed. He had heard of Cao Ang's reputation a long time ago. It was a great honor to be Cao Ang's right-hand man.

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone knelt down.

Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Everyone, please stand up. The wines at the banquet tonight are the fine wines that I have collected for many years. Everyone should not leave until they are drunk."

"Thank you, my lord!" everyone said in unison.

The meal was very enjoyable, and Cao Ang drank a lot of wine. After the banquet, Cao Ang went to rest.

Jia Xu, Ju Shou and other civil and military officials continued to discuss what to do next to stabilize Yanzhou.

When Cao Ang left the banquet, Chen Gong left quietly.

Chen Gong found a secluded corner and opened his package.

There were some things in it, all of which were things Chen Gong had secretly obtained in the past few days, including food, fodder, and money.

Chen Gong looked at his masterpiece and muttered to himself, "Cao Ang, ah Cao Ang, I hope you won't let me down this time."

Then Chen Gong stuffed the package into his arms and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The next day, Chen Gong secretly left Xiangping with a group of soldiers and headed towards Donglai.

On the way, Chen Gong met a patrolling group of Cao soldiers. He revealed his identity and indicated that he wanted to enter the territory of Jingzhou.

Upon seeing this, Cao's army hurriedly welcomed Chen Gong into the tent.

Chen Gong took out his seal and tiger talisman and spoke to the Cao army.

"I am under the order of Liu Jingsheng, a relative of the Han Dynasty, to go to Jingzhou to investigate the enemy situation. Please quickly open the camp and let me pass."

Chen Gong's identity was forged, but it worked well. The Cao army soldiers looked at Cao Ang's seal and dared not disobey, and opened the camp obediently.

Chen Gong took the opportunity to lead his men through and captured a few prisoners.

The Cao army soldiers were still a little confused when they saw that they let a stranger go so easily.

After all, Chen Gong's clothes looked ordinary and he was short, so he looked like just a servant.

After Chen Gong led his men through, he immediately sent out scouts to gather information.

Soon after, the scout told Chen Gong what he had learned, letting him know that his judgment was correct. (End of this chapter)
