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

"If that's the case, why did you lie to me and say that you were captured by Cao Ang?" Cao Cao asked.

Lu Bu showed a bitter expression: "I don't want you to take risks, my lord."

"You!" Cao Cao pointed at Lu Bu angrily. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would deceive him.

Cao Ang stood up and walked towards Cao Cao, saying calmly: "Sikong Cao, your subordinates seem to be a little dishonest."

"Cao Ang, don't do anything rash." Cao Cao stared at Cao Ang vigilantly.

Cao Ang said, "Don't worry, Cao Sikong, I won't hurt you. I just want to know why Lu Bu wanted to deceive you."

Cao Cao felt relieved. Lu Bu had just deceived him. Cao Cao was really afraid that Cao Ang would kill him in a rage.

Now Cao Cao finally understood why Lu Bu had deceived him.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and said, "Brother Meng De, tell me why you deceived the lord."

Lu Bu said, "My lord, I did not mean to deceive you.

I originally wanted to surrender to Cao Sikong, but as soon as I arrived at Xudu, I was discovered by Cao Ang's Jinyiwei.

I knew I could not escape Cao Ang's pursuit, so I pretended to be a defeated soldier of Cao Ang's army and followed them to Beihai State. "

Cao Cao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lu Bu had been delaying time. It turned out that he was just delaying time.

"Brother Meng De, do you know where the Beihai Kingdom is?" Cao Ang asked.

"I know." Cao Cao replied.

"Okay. I will send you to Beihai Kingdom now. You can rest there for a while, and after I pacify the world, I will find a chance to recall you." Cao Ang said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew very well that Lu Bu was now Cao Ang's prisoner and it would be very difficult to rescue him.

Cao Cao did not refuse, since Cao Ang could not escape anyway.

"Thank you, my lord." Cao Cao bowed in thanks.

"Have a good rest." Cao Ang turned and left.

Cao Ang led his army further south, aiming to capture Jiangdong.

In Jiangxia County, Sun Ce was overjoyed when he received the news of Lu Bu's surrender.

The tough guy Lu Bu finally surrendered, and Sun Ce could rest assured. At the same time, Sun Ce was a little worried.

Cao Ang will definitely rely on Lu Bu's power to attack Jiangdong.

What should Jiangdong do then?
However, Sun Quan thought that Sun Ce was worrying too much. Although Lu Bu was very strong in combat, they were not weak either.

Outside Jiangxia City, Zhang Zhao, Guo Tu, Ju Su and others were discussing how to resist the attack of Cao Ang's army.

“My dear ministers, our army is running out of food and grass. If we can’t hold on for long, I’m afraid we’ll be in trouble,” said Sun Ce.

Zhang Zhao suggested, "My lord, we just need to hold Jiangxia. Cao Ang's army has been conquering all the way, and the soldiers are exhausted. It will be difficult for them to recover in a short time.

If we occupy Jiangxia Water Fort, we can stop Cao Ang's army and make it difficult for Cao Ang to break through. This is a steady and cautious approach."

Ju Su shook his head and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao is right. But Cao Ang is a tyrant and cannot be judged by common sense.

In my humble opinion, it would be best to send an envoy to Beihai to ask for help and request Cao Ang to withdraw his troops. Otherwise, Jiangdong may be in danger."

"What you said, sir, is absolutely right." The others agreed with Ju Su's words.

Zhang Zhao was a little hesitant. If the strategies proposed by the three of them were all refuted, wouldn't it be a complete loss of face?

Ju Shou and Guo Tu smiled at each other. Zhang Zhao was a tough guy, but he had actually agreed with it in his heart a long time ago.

"My lord, I am willing to lead 10,000 naval forces across the Yellow River and join forces with military advisor Xu Shu to fight against Cao Ang." Ju Su proposed.

"This is a great plan." Ju Su was the commander of the Jiangxia navy, a position appointed by Sun Ce.

"In that case, I will trouble you, Lord Ju." Sun Ce said gratefully. "My lord, you don't have to be polite. This is my duty." Ju Su said respectfully.

Ju Su was indeed an able official who knew how to judge the situation.

Before Cao Ang sent out his troops, he sent a fleet from the north, sailing south along the Yellow River, directly attacking the Beihai Kingdom.

This move was a typical air raid tactic, catching Cao Ang off guard.

The North Sea Kingdom was completely unprepared and suffered heavy losses, so it had to shrink its defense line.

Ju Su's plan worked, and Cao Ang's army had to stop advancing.

Cao Ang was furious when he heard the news. He didn't expect Ju Shou to dare to attack him. He was so bold.

"Remember this fellow Ju Shou. Pass the order down, immediately organize the troops and prepare for the attack." Cao Ang gnashed his teeth in hatred for Ju Shou.

After Cao Ang's army was reorganized, it began to advance towards Jiangxia. Meanwhile, Ju Su's navy had quickly crossed the Yellow River and was approaching the Beihai Kingdom.

Ju Su did this after careful planning. After his navy reached the shore, they began to look for a suitable harbor for stationing.

Due to the rapid flow of the Yellow River, there are not many islands near Jiangxia.

Ju Su decided to choose the northern waters far away from Jiangxia as a temporary base, to observe the enemy situation and avoid encountering Cao Ang's army.

After marching for several days, Cao Ang's army finally arrived at the border of Beihai Kingdom.

Ju Su led the navy to temporarily settle in a small fishing village on the border of the North Sea Kingdom.

"The army should set up camp on the spot and do not disturb the people." Ju Su ordered.

Cao Ang came to Ju Su's tent and said, "Meng De, I heard that your subordinate Lu Bu has surrendered to Cao Ang."

"Yes." Ju Su said, "Cao Ang did use Lu Bu to buy my loyalty."

"In this way, the obstacles facing our army in attacking Jiangdong will be greatly reduced." Cao Ang said with a smile.

"My lord is wise!" Ju Su praised.

Ju Su thought to himself, Cao Ang is really powerful. He can even deal with a tough guy like Lu Bu.

Ju Shou admired Cao Ang even more, but at the same time he was a little worried. Ju Shou felt that Cao Ang was too ambitious and actually wanted to become emperor.

Cao Ang had the idea of ​​dominating the Central Plains back then. Now he already owns Jingzhou, Yizhou, and the northern border.

It can be said that Cao Ang has a quarter of China's land. Cao Ang should be satisfied now.

But Cao Ang's appetite was still as big as before. Ju Su thought that Cao Ang should strike while the iron is hot and destroy Liu Biao to seize Guanzhong.

With Cao Ang's current military strength, it should not be difficult to capture Guanzhong.

Moreover, Cao Ang's troops were heading straight for Jizhou. Once successful, Cao Ang's troops would be qualified to march into Youzhou.

In this way, Cao Ang's power expanded a lot, posing a threat to Yuan Shao.

Ju Shou hoped that Cao Ang could calm down and not mess things up.

"Meng De, do you think I am a bit cruel and ruthless?" Cao Ang sighed.

"My lord, your kindness is unmatched by any other prince in the world," said Ju Su.

Cao Ang laughed: "You are really good at talking."

"I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have advised my lord." Ju Su said with his head down.

Cao Ang knew Ju Su's character well, he was a stubborn person.

"Never mind, I understand your thoughts. But I won't give up easily." Cao Ang said. (End of this chapter)
