Cao Ang knew that Cao Cao was thinking about himself, but he felt that Cao Cao should discuss these things with Sun Quan.

"Brother Meng De, do you really want to give up this piece of fat meat, Jingzhou?" Cao Ang asked.

"Yes. I want to find a wider world." Cao Cao said firmly.

Cao Ang hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, I will agree to your terms. But you must remember that I will never treat my friends unfairly."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Cao Cao was overjoyed. He finally won the bet this time.

Cao Ang and Cao Cao reached an agreement, and both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao was not an idiot and knew the consequences of doing so.

But Cao Cao had no choice, he didn't want to die under Cao Ang's sword.

After Cao Cao left, Jia Xu and Guo Jia entered the hall.

"My lord, I do not understand Cao Cao's intention.

Why did you agree to Cao Cao's conditions?

You must know that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are old enemies, and Liu Bei is Cao Cao's enemy.

My Lord, if you cooperate with Liu Bei, wouldn't that be like seeking the skin of a tiger?" Guo Jia said worriedly.

Jia Xu also shook his head and said, "I don't understand Liu Bei either.

Liu Bei's character was too weak and he was simply incapable of shouldering any important responsibility.

My Lord, instead of cooperating with Liu Bei, it would be better for you to support a more powerful person."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Wenhe is absolutely right.

Liu Bei is not suitable, but his son is very suitable."

"My lord, you are referring to Cao Pi?!" Guo Jia reacted instantly.

"Yes. Cao Pi has the qualities of an emperor. He will definitely become a great sage in the future.

I can't bear to see the people of the world suffer." Cao Ang said.

"My lord is merciful!" Jia Xu said admiringly.

Cao Ang said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, go and inform Cao Cao immediately.

Tell him to gather his troops as soon as possible and then head to the North Sea."

"I obey your order!" Guo Jia immediately went to make arrangements.

After Guo Jia left, Jia Xu asked, "My lord, why should we help Cao Cao?
Isn't Liu Bei better?"

Cao Ang said calmly: "I believe in Liu Bei's ability, but he is not suitable to lead an army.

Cao Cao was different. He could call on heroes from all over Guanzhong.

The threat from Liu Bei is not something to be feared, the only one I really need to guard against is Cao Cao."

Jia Xu understood that Cao Ang was planning to support Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was indeed a talented person, but Cao Ang was worried that Cao Cao would betray him.

Cao Cao was such a person in history. He surrendered to Liu Biao in order to survive, which eventually led to the demise of Cao Wei.

Cao Ang did not dare to gamble his country's destiny on Cao Cao's loyalty.

Cao Ang would rather take the risk to support a new prince.

What Jia Xu didn't know was that the news that Cao Cao had defected to Liu Bei in Yanzhou had spread to the ears of all the major families.

When Liu Bei received this news, he was furious.

"Asshole! Cao Mengde is so ungrateful!
If I hadn't helped him, Cao Mengde would have starved to death. How dare he betray me?" Liu Bei was furious.

“Don’t be upset, uncle, this has not been confirmed.

Xingba may just be acting on impulse." Liu Qi dissuaded him.

Liu Bei calmed down and said, “That’s right, Xingba is not that kind of person.

But why did Cao Ang choose to cooperate with Cao Cao? Is he trying to annex Jingzhou? "

"Uncle, you're worrying too much. Cao Ang is not a fool. He knows the importance of his uncle and will never do this." Liu Qi analyzed.

Liu Bei was convinced. He felt that Cao Ang did not need to do this, because Jingzhou was already in his pocket. Cao Ang had no reason to do this.

"In that case, I will wait for good news from Cao Mengde." Liu Bei calmed down and said, "Gonglu, you will lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the camp tonight. I will practice martial arts in seclusion.

If Cao Ang dares to attack the city, shoot him with a bow and arrow."

Liu Bei was a martial arts expert, and he was confident that he could escape even when facing tens of thousands of soldiers.

During this period, Liu Bei cultivated his inner strength and made rapid progress. He was confident that he could defeat Huang Zu and seize Xuzhou.

What Liu Bei needs to do now is to improve his combat effectiveness to avoid being tricked by Huang Zu.

"Yes!" Liu Ye said respectfully.

Liu Bei was preparing to go into seclusion to practice, but someone didn't want him to do so. Liu Qi hurriedly ran in and shouted.

"Uncle, something bad has happened. Cao Ang has sent a letter to you, asking you to open it in person."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Liu Bei's face changed.

Liu Qi handed the letter to Liu Bei: "This is from Cao Ang's guards."

When Liu Bei unfolded it, his face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily, "This is too much!"

It turned out that it was Cao Ang who wrote a letter inviting Liu Bei to a banquet in Xiangyang, and also said that the two had a close relationship.

After reading it, Liu Bei almost tore the letter into pieces.

This is a direct humiliation for Cao Ang.

Liu Bei had known Cao Ang for so long, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as Cao Ang.

"Uncle, Cao Ang is going too far! What should we do?" Liu Qi said anxiously.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Gong Lu, you must lead 5,000 soldiers to Xiangyang immediately.

Never conflict with Cao Ang, and obey Cao Ang's instructions in everything.

In addition, I think Cao Ang is deliberately provoking me, so you should be careful and not be fooled."

Liu Qi said hesitantly: "Uncle, if Cao Ang is bad for my nephew, then we are also bad for him."

"Gong Lu, don't worry. Cao Ang wouldn't dare to hurt you easily.

If something happens to you, he will have no hostages."

Liu Bei had a sharp eye and knew that Cao Ang's target was him. Liu Bei believed that if he disappeared, Cao Ang would not dare to continue to target Liu Qi.

"Nephew, I understand. I'll prepare it right away." Liu Qi said with a fist salute.

Just as Liu Qi was about to go out, Liu Bei stopped him.

"Road, remember, if you encounter an emergency, you must protect yourself." Liu Bei warned.

Liu Bei was very clear about his fate, and he didn't want anything to happen to Liu Qi.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now." Liu Qi said gratefully, and then led his soldiers to Xiangyang.

After Liu Qi left, Jia Xu said with a smile: "My lord, you are so cruel.

They actually used the eldest prince as bait."

"I had no choice." Liu Bei sighed.

"Cao Ang's ambitions grew, and we all underestimated him.

If I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he'll go even further."

"My lord, I think you should go see Cao Mengde.

Although there are some misunderstandings between the two of you, you are still friends after all." Jia Xu suggested.

"Not appropriate!" Liu Bei refused.

Jia Xu was a little puzzled and said: "Why? Cao Mengde is very outstanding in both character and ability.

If we can win him over, he will be a great help to me, the Han people."

"Cao Aman is a smart man. He must have guessed that someone wanted to negotiate with him.

But he refused. Liu Bei sneered, "Cao Aman wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
He wants to use Cao Ang to get rid of me! How can I be fooled? (End of this chapter)
