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

Chapter 364: Support Liu Biao, Wu Commandery goes to war

Cao Ang knew that if he wanted to verify the true ranking of these generals, he would just let them fight. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Closer to home, Liu Biao must send someone to support him, but for this candidate, Cao Ang finally chose Cao Ren.

Cao Ren has always been good at learning since he followed Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also liked his younger brother and intended to train him.

So Cao Ang came to Cao Ren and said, "Uncle, you still need to go to Liu Biao's side in person."

Cao Ren was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that this matter would fall on him.

"Zixiu, why did you ask Zixiao to do it? His skills are not as good as mine!" Xiahou Dun was a little anxious at the side.

Cao Ang looked at the anxious Xiahou Dun and smiled helplessly: "Uncle, I am not going to Jingzhou to take the initiative, but to help Liu Biao defend the city."

"After Sun Jian defeated Liu Biao, he would definitely take the initiative to attack Jiangxia. Uncle Zixiao was there to defend the city, not to take the initiative."

Cao Ren is good at defending the city, and Cao Ang knows this.

As long as Sun Jian is held back in Jiangxia, Cao Ang can still attack Huanglong.

When Xiahou Dun heard that he was going to help defend the city, he immediately said he would not go.

"Okay, I still have to leave it to Zixiao to defend the city. I'm not very good at it. I can only lead troops to charge."

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was embarrassed to say, you can't win even if you lead the troops to attack!

In the end, the matter of leading troops to support Liu Biao was left to Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xun You. The three of them led [-] troops to Jiangxia to support Liu Biao.

Before leaving, Cao Ang told the three of them: "When we go to Jiangxia, we just need to help Liu Biao defend the city. As long as we can delay Sun Jian and prevent him from supporting Yuan Shu, then my side can win quickly!"

The three of them took the order and left to support Liu Biao.

On Liu Biao's side, after his defeat, Sun Yat-sen took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, regained the lost ground, and fought all the way to the border of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, preparing to march to Jingzhou.

However, he stopped at the border because the order he received when he set out was to support Yuzhang. Now that the task was completed, if he wanted to continue attacking Jiangxia, he still had to ask Yuan Shu for instructions.

As for Cai Mao, he was dragged into Luling by Yang Feng, who was under Yuan Shu, and could not be evacuated or beaten.

……

At this time in Shouchun, Yuan Shu was meeting with Ma Xiu.

Ma Xiu brought gifts to express Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui's willingness to recognize Yuan Shu's throne and make friends with them.

Yuan Shu was very pleased with this, but he had one request, that is, Ma Teng and Han Sui must submit to him.

Matthew was hesitant about this proposal. He didn't know whether to agree or reject.

At this time, Yuan Shu's men sent a battle report.

"Your Majesty! Wuhuan Hou Sun Jian led the Jiangdong Army and defeated the Jingzhou Army led by Liu Biao outside Yuzhang City. Sun Wentai is currently stationing troops on the border and wants to send troops to Jiangxia. I am here to ask for your Majesty's instructions!"

After Yuan Shu heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh: "What a great Sun Wentai, he deserves to be called the Tiger of Jiangdong! Weren't you Liu Biao proud before? If you are so proud, let me see if you are proud again!"

At this time, Yuan Shu was also very proud: "Jiangxia has hoarded about [-]% of Jingzhou's money and food. If we can capture it, it will be a great achievement!" "Send the order and order Sun Jian to march quickly. If we can win the final battle in Jiangxia, Okay, if you can’t take it off, give Liu Biao a good beating so that he can never stand up again!”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the ordering soldier hurriedly ran to convey the order.

Then, Yuan Shu looked at Ma Xiu: "My dear nephew, all the princes have united to attack me. Do you think I have ever been afraid of them? Now that my favorite general has defeated Liu Biao, Cao Ang, Tao Qian and his like have been defeated." It’s just a matter of time!”

When Ma Xiu heard this, he knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shu and said, "Ma Xiu, my lord, makes the decision on behalf of my father, and I would like to submit myself to your majesty!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shu smiled happily: "Go back and tell your father that as long as he hears that Cao Ang's side is defeated, he can send troops from Xiliang to Chang'an, and I will send troops to Luoyang to completely wipe out the Cao family's power!"

"Yes!" After a few days of revision in Shouchun, Ma Xiu left with Yuan Shu's handwriting.

The ministers under Yuan Shu also had the same attitude towards Xiliang as Yuan Shu.

After all, the strategy of making distant friends and attacking closely has been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During that period, the Qin State also relied on this strategy to realize the strategy of weakening Qi.

……

On the other side, Tao Qian's expression became uncertain after learning that Liu Biao was defeated by Sun Jian.

"What happened to Liu Biao? It's not good for his [-] Jingzhou troops to be dispatched together. Do they have to divide their forces to fight?"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu remained silent about Liu Biao's defeat.

Only Zhang Fei complained with surprise on his face: "Will Liu Biao know how to fight? If 5 people fight against 7 people, although it is a disadvantage, it will not be beaten so badly. Even if these 5 people are stretched out there, If Sun Jian's neck is chopped off, then Sun Jian will have to chop it off for a long time!"

When Liu Bei saw his third brother complaining endlessly, he quickly stopped him: "Okay, third brother, don't say any more. This time Ji Ling is leading the troops to stop us, so you should use your strength to deal with it." Ji Ling, you know, he is Yuan Shu’s number one general!"

"Brother is joking. I haven't taken Ji Ling seriously yet." Zhang Fei waved his hand disdainfully. He didn't like Ji Ling at all.

As long as Ji Ling dares to fight with him in front of the battle, then he is sure to take down the opponent directly.

Because of Cao Ang's appearance, the battle was advanced, and the place where the battle was fought was different from the original one.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang led troops to attack Wu County, hoping to capture Sun Jian's family and force them to surrender.

However, the attack of the three of them encountered strong resistance from Ji Ling.

Before the battle, Liu Bei looked at Ji Ling's tall appearance and couldn't help but frowned: "This Ji Ling is tall and tall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him!"

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei was about to speak.

But before Zhang Fei could say anything, he saw Guan Yu, dressed in green robe and black armor, and rushed out on horseback. Only Guan Yu's voice was left in the wind.

"Brother, later, watch me get Ji Ling's head for you!"

Zhang Fei opened his mouth, then closed it again. His second brother rushed out, so what else could he say.

In the distance, Ji Ling saw a red-faced man with a long beard riding a skinny horse, rushing towards him, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "You are the one from Hulao Pass, fighting with your eldest brother and third brother?" Lu Bu’s Guan Yu?”

Hearing this, Guan Yu made a horizontal stroke with his long sword: "Since I have heard of Guan's reputation, why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender, otherwise my Qinglong Yanyue Sword will cut off your head!"
