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

I cannot guarantee that every citizen will have enough to eat, but at least I can ensure that more people have access to food.

Let them not suffer from hunger." Cao Ang said in a deep voice.

"Your lord is so benevolent and virtuous!" All the ministers knelt down.

Chen Deng also lowered his head and dared not question anymore.

"My dear ministers, please stand up." Cao Ang helped them up.

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone stood up.

"My lord, the Xuzhou family is willing to surrender, but they have put forward a condition, hoping that my lord can retain the name of the Xuzhou family.

And the land of the Xuzhou noble families should be allocated to their fiefdoms to protect them from being attacked by bandits." Ju Su stood up and said.

Cao Ang's eyes lit up. This Xuzhou family was really cunning. They wanted to use this to exchange for their own land. Perhaps they also wanted to take this opportunity to reorganize their forces.

Cao Ang thought for a moment and finally said, "Yes.

I can agree to the Xuzhou family's request, but I will never treat the Xuzhou family unfairly.

The noble families of Xuzhou can offer me the grain, gold, silver and daughters in their fiefdoms.

As long as I ascend the throne and become emperor, all these things will belong to the Han Dynasty."

Of course Cao Ang could not take these things, but he could use them to win over the Xuzhou families.

Chen Gui almost vomited blood when he heard this. Cao Ang was too evil. He took the daughter of Xuzhou's noble family as a dowry. Xuzhou's noble family must have hated Cao Ang.

Others also thought that Cao Ang was too cruel, but they did not dare to refute him because Cao Ang was still the emperor and had tremendous power.

Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Ang ordered, "Come here, pass the order immediately and ask Ju Su to prepare the documents and materials for the migration of the Xuzhou nobles."

"Yes!" Pang Tong left immediately.

Soon, Ju Su came back with the document and handed it to Cao Ang respectfully.

Cao Ang glanced through it and after confirming that it was correct, he asked Ju Su to stamp it with his seal, and then ordered people to circulate the document.

This document from Ju Su was signed and sealed by Cao Ang himself.

The Xuzhou noble families soon received this order and they immediately became panicked.

"Has Lord Ju gone mad? He actually asked our entire tribe to migrate."

"We can't leave. If we leave, Xuzhou will be gone. Then won't the property of those noble families fall into the hands of others?"

"Mr. Ju is really dishonest. Why didn't he inform us first? Isn't this cheating us?"

The Xuzhou noble families were all angry, although many of them were loyal to Cao Ang.

But they had their own selfish motives after all. They were not like the others who worked sincerely for Cao Ang.

"Don't panic, gentlemen. Lord Ju is a wise leader and will definitely not treat us unfairly.

I believe him." Ju Hu, Ju Shou's father, Ju Shou's younger brother, said calmly.

Ju Hu had a very high prestige, and as soon as he spoke, the other families calmed down.

"Lord Ju did this for our sake. Lord, you are wise and powerful. If we don't obey, we will surely die.

Ju Gongyou did this for our own good." Ju Hu's cousin Ju Shou said with emotion.

Ju Hu nodded with a smile, and then said to his family members: "My uncles, you must hold on. Our Ju family depends on you for support."

Ju Hu's words made everyone solemn.

After Cao Ang's order was issued, the whole Yanzhou was in an uproar.

Cao Ang wanted to change history. The Yanzhou aristocratic families had been suppressed by Cao Cao and could not raise their heads. If they moved to Chang'an.

Then the Yanzhou family will be able to take control.

Moreover, many aristocratic families are related to Cao Ang, or have interests involved with him.

If Cao Ang succeeds, they will also gain huge benefits. "Cao Ang is finally taking action! We must rise up."

The various noble families in Yanzhou were secretly accumulating strength, waiting for Cao Ang's imperial edict.

Cao Ang was also busy and started to build a transport team.

Cao Ang asked Ju Su to select elite troops to serve as guards for the transport team. At the same time, he ordered the purchase of a large number of weapons and armor, enough to equip an army of 50,000.

Cao Ang then sent someone to send it to the Xuzhou family's mansion. Cao Ang had already sent someone to clean up the Xuzhou family's mansion.

Cao Ang also dispatched the Embroidered Uniform Guard to monitor the Xuzhou aristocratic families to prevent them from making any mischief.

When the Xuzhou noble families saw what Cao Ang gave them, they all smiled happily.

Cao Ang was trying to win them over. This made them feel that Emperor Cao Ang was indeed magnanimous.

The Xuzhou noble families also surrendered to Cao Ang as agreed.

Cao Ang was very satisfied with this outcome. The surrender of the Xuzhou family was a great help to Cao Ang.

These noble families control a large amount of resources, such as food, blacksmiths, timber, medicine, etc. These are all money.

However, Yuan Shu was very depressed because the Xuzhou noble families actually rebelled.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the stalemate between Cao Ang and Cao Cao to attack Cao Ang and occupy Xuzhou, but who knew that the Xuzhou nobles would actually turn against him.

Yuan Shu knew that he was doomed, and the only way to escape Cao Ang's clutches was to surrender to him.

Yuan Shu found Cao Ang and said this while crying bitterly.

"My lord, please save me. I am willing to offer the entire Jizhou to you. I beg you to save my life."

"Yuan Tu, this is not a joke." Cao Ang frowned.

Yuan Shu said hurriedly: "How dare Yuan Shu deceive my lord?

Yuan Shu is willing to offer the entire territory of Jizhou. Please, my lord, save Yuan Shu."

Cao Ang knew that Yuan Shu would not dare to deceive him, and he would not give up this trump card of Yuan Shao.

Cao Ang said: "Yuan Tu, I told you long ago that you must not harbor illusions about Yuan Shao, otherwise you will surely die. Now you know you were wrong."

"Yes, yes." Yuan Shu wiped his tears and continued to wail: "My lord, Yuan Shu knows he was wrong. Please give Yuan Shu a chance."

"I'll give you a chance too." Cao Ang said suddenly.

"Thank you, my lord!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed. The fact that Cao Ang gave him the opportunity meant there was hope.

"Lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Yecheng and surrender to me now. I will spare your life." Cao Ang said coldly.

Yuan Shu's face turned pale. This was simply forcing him to betray Yuan Shao, but he had to do it.

"My lord, we have allies.

"My lord, if you kill me, Yuan Shang will not let it go. My lord, please think twice." Yuan Shu pleaded.

"Do you think Yuan Shang has the guts to seek revenge against me?" Cao Ang said with disdain.

Yuan Shang was blocked by Yuan Shu, and he really didn't have the courage to fight Cao Ang to death, not to mention that he couldn't defeat Cao Ang at all.

"Didn't you say that Yuan Shang and you have a deep hatred?
Since you two are old enemies, if I kill you, you will definitely fight to the death.

Wouldn't it be nice for me to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Cao Ang sneered.

Yuan Shu was horrified that Cao Ang could even say such words.

Only now did he realize that Cao Ang was much more sinister than Cao Cao. Even if Cao Cao wanted to kill someone to silence him, he would not have said it so clearly.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is willing to surrender." Yuan Shu finally surrendered.

He would rather fight against Yuan Shao, at least Yuan Shao could guarantee his life. (End of this chapter)
