After Cao Ang said this, the ministers were shocked. The news was so scary that rebellions broke out in various states.

Cao Ang said: "The situation in Yanzhou is special, and Yuan Shu will definitely send a large number of troops to Yanzhou for reinforcement.

So I decided to let Ziyi go to Yanzhou to cooperate with Gongtai and others to suppress the rebellion. As for Runan County, Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Chen Gong are enough. "

Cao Ang made the decision immediately and dispersed the tasks.

"Our lord is wise!" the ministers shouted in unison.

Cao Cao secretly cursed Cao Ang for being treacherous and using this trick. However, Cao Cao also understood that this strategy was indeed very effective.

"Gongjin, you will have to work harder during this period." Cao Ang ordered Xun Yu.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best."

Cao Cao was unhappy and wondered why Cao Ang didn't give him any advice.

"My lord, I have something to report." Cao Cao said suddenly.

"Zhongde, what do you want to report?" Cao Ang said lightly.

"My lord, Yuan Shao, the governor of Xuzhou, has defected to Dong Zhuo and has sent someone to deliver a letter.

I beg you to send troops to Xuzhou to wipe out the traitor Yuan Shu together." Cao Cao handed the letter written by Yuan Shao to Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang opened the letter, he saw that Yuan Shao had indeed said in the letter that Xuzhou was Dong Zhuo's fiefdom, and hoped that Cao Ang would give up Xuzhou, and then the two sides would work together to suppress the rebellion.

Cao Ang snorted coldly: "This Yuan Shu is really ambitious. He actually dares to negotiate with me."

"My lord, Yuan Shao is just a common man. Why bother with him?" Cao Cao advised.

Cao Ang shook his head: "No, Yuan Shao is a sinister and cunning man. I must not let him succeed. Otherwise, he will definitely be a big trouble in the future."

Although Cao Ang was a time traveler, he had been influenced by the Han emperors since childhood and had great respect for them.

Cao Ang didn't want to become emperor in the future, but he was killed by Yuan Shao.

"My lord, you are the emperor, are you afraid of Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao pretended to be angry.

Cao Ang scolded, "Zhongde, stop talking nonsense."

"Yes!" Cao Cao shut up. He knew that Cao Ang was angry.

Cao Ang then said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, get ready. I plan to personally lead an expedition to Xuzhou to pacify Yuan Shu."

"Yes, sir!" Guo Jia was shaking with excitement.

He had long wanted to quell the scourge of Yuan Shu, and Cao Ang's order just met Guo Jia's wish.

Cao Cao was extremely jealous, because his suggestion just now would help Cao Ang eliminate dissidents and gain benefits.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ang rejected his suggestion and decided to lead the army to Xuzhou in person.

Cao Cao does not have the strength to pacify Xuzhou now, and his troops are not enough to fight against Yuan Shao's army.

Cao Ang said again: "Kong Ming, I order you to be in charge of Yuzhou and Jizhou. Do not let Dong Zhuo succeed."

"I will obey the emperor's order!" Jia Xu bowed and accepted the order.

Cao Ang then turned to Cheng Yu and said, "Gongyou, how is the training of the navy I asked you to organize going?"

"My lord, the navy has been basically completed. The soldiers have been trained and can go to sea at any time." Cheng Yu reported.

"Haha. I knew Gongyou was the best." Cao Ang praised Cheng Yu.

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord." Cheng Yu said modestly.

Cao Ang said to all the civil and military officials: "You are all my loyal subjects. I believe you will work hard and save me the trouble."

"We will devote our lives to this cause until our death!" Everyone knelt on the ground again.

"Good! Today's morning court session ends here. All the ministers, please leave." After Cao Ang finished speaking, he walked towards the imperial study. The ministers left one after another, and Cao Cao walked slowly, feeling very depressed.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Xun Chen said in a low voice.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Let's go too. Alas, we are still too weak."

"My lord, please do not underestimate yourself. You are a man of great talent and ambition, but you just lack an opportunity.

If the lord is willing to calm down, I will definitely be a hundred times stronger than you. "Xun Chen comforted him.

Cao Cao shook his head: "Gongda, I understand what you mean. It's a pity that the world does not belong to my Cao family. Alas."

Xun Chen was silent. Cao Cao was telling the truth.

"My lord, now you want to deal with Lu Bu. You and I can take this opportunity to seize Yizhou." Xun Chen said.

"Gongda, do you mean that we should unite with Lu Bu?" Cao Cao asked puzzledly.

Xun Chen said: "My lord, although Lü Bu is a reckless man, he is loyal.

If we win him over, he will definitely agree.

Moreover, Liu Xie was still young, and Cao Ang was powerless.

If we occupy Yizhou, we can threaten Cao Ang and even control his lifeline, which is extremely beneficial to the future of our Cao family."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Gongda, your plan is very good. I agree with it."

Cao Cao didn't have any feelings for Liu Xie. What he hated most was Liu Xie's pretentious appearance.

Cao Cao took Xun Chen away.

Cao Ang summoned many advisers to discuss matters. These advisers are all people who are related to the future of the entire China.

Chen Gong took out a parchment scroll and said, "My lord, this is what Liu Qi sent."

Cao Ang took the parchment scroll, examined it carefully, and his expression became very solemn.

"What is this thing that makes the lord so solemn?" asked Guo Jia.

Cao Ang handed the parchment to Guo Jia, and then slowly said: "Liu Qi recorded the evidence of Liu Zhang's crimes on this parchment."

Everyone was shocked. They all knew that Cao Ang had a good impression of Liu Zhang and thought that Liu Zhang was not a bad guy.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Cao Ang were brothers, and Cao Ang once granted Liu Bei an official position.

But now the contents of the parchment shocked them all. Cao Ang's greatest worry had finally come true.

Liu Zhang actually colluded with Yuan Shu, set up an ambush, and almost killed Cao Ang.

"This traitor Liu Zhang deserves to be cut into pieces. Our lord is so merciful that he actually wants to forgive him. It's simply wishful thinking." Tian Feng cursed.

Others all agreed with Tian Feng. They all thought that Liu Bei had done such a beastly thing and that Cao Ang should immediately behead him in public.

Chen Gong frowned and said, "My dear friends, Liu Zhang has committed such a serious crime that his entire clan should be executed.

But the lord spared Liu Zhang's life. Is the lord hiding something by doing this?"

Chen Gong's words expressed everyone's thoughts. They all felt that Cao Ang might be hiding something by sparing Liu Zhang's life.

Cao Ang laughed and said, "Gongtai guessed correctly, Cao Ang did spare Liu Zhang's life.

When Liu Bei led his army to attack Xuchang, Liu Bei and his son Liu Cong both tried to kill me. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died at the hands of Liu Bei and Liu Cong.

I love Liu Yan deeply, so I spared Liu Zhang's life out of consideration for our old friendship."

When everyone heard that Cao Ang spared Liu Zhang's life because of Liu Yan, they felt a little complicated. (End of this chapter)
