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

Chapter 542 The army enters Xuzhou, Tao Qian’s countermeasures

After Lu Bu heard that Cao Ang was coming, he followed Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao to the gate of the camp to greet him.

"Young General!" Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao said in unison.

Cao Ang nodded when he heard this and said: "Thank you two generals for your hard work."

Then, Cao Ang's eyes fell on Lu Bu beside him.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Ang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Young General."

Originally Lu Bu planned to ask Yi Juxiu to get closer to Cao Ang.

But when he thought about his previous bad attitude towards Cao Ang, Xiu still didn't dare to say that sentence.

Seeing this, Cao Ang responded with a smile: "Marquis Wen, it's been a long time."

Lu Bu laughed awkwardly and nodded.

Afterwards, a group of people entered the camp.

Zhao Yun took a deep look at Lu Bu, and then followed Cao Ang step by step.

After arriving at the camp, Cao Ang listened to Huang Zhong's report on the situation in the forward army, and also told Cao Ang that Chen Deng had been here.

However, with Lu Bu here, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao tacitly hid some details.

After Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao finished talking about these things, Lu Bu stood up, raised his hands to Cao Ang and said, "Major General, I want to borrow some troops and horses from the Major General to recapture Xiapi. Please agree to it, Major General!"

When everyone heard this, everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

Especially Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. Both of them knew that Lu Bu had a bad reputation. If they loaned troops to him, it would be like borrowing money but not repaying it.

Cao Ang looked at Lu Bu's serious face and couldn't help but smile and said, "Marquis Wen, do you still remember our agreement before?"

Lu Bu's face turned red when he heard this, and then he said: "Of course I remember it, but I can't swallow this breath. Tao Qian bullied others too much. I want revenge!"

When Cao Ang heard this, he waved his hand gently and said, "Tao Qian ignored the court's order and attacked Xiapi, where you are, Marquis Wen. I led the army here to deal with this matter."

"So, don't be impatient, Marquis Wen. Sooner or later, you will have a chance to take revenge. You just need to wait for some time. After I finish dealing with Zang Ba and others among the Taishan bandits, I can then take action against Tao Qian."

When Lu Bu heard this, his expression stiffened.

Seeing this, Cao Ang continued: "If Xiapi City is not lost now, then I can send troops to support you, but now Xiapi City has been lost. Besides, Xiapi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the number of Xuzhou troops is also small." Quite a few, if we attack forcefully, our army will suffer heavy losses, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

When Lu Bu heard what Cao Ang said, he could only compromise: "Okay, then Nabu will follow the young general's arrangements."

Cao Ang was a little surprised when he saw Lu Bu compromise. He originally thought that Lu Bu would get angry unhappily, but he didn't expect that this guy actually held back.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and Cao Ang began to prepare to deal with the Taishan bandits.

At this time, in Pengcheng, Tao Qian also received news that Xiapi City had been destroyed, but Lu Bu had escaped.

"This Lu Bu is really lucky!" Tao Qian couldn't help but sigh: "Now that Pi City has been breached, we still let this guy escape."

After Chen Deng heard Tao Qian's words, he said: "My lord, even if Lu Bu escaped, he has nowhere to go except Cao Ang." "We can negotiate with Cao Ang and let him Leave Lu Bu to our disposal, and we will not care about him leading an army to our Xuzhou."

At this time, Chen Deng swore firmly that Cao Ang would not go to war with Xuzhou.

When Tao Qian heard this, he thought it was feasible.

Just when Tao Qian was about to give the order, a scout ran in and said in a panic: "My lord, something serious has happened!"

At this time, Tao Qian was feeling happy about the victory over Xiapi City, but when he heard someone saying that something bad was going on, his face immediately darkened.

"What happened? If you can't tell me why, I'll kill you!" Tao Qian said angrily to the scout.

The scout was startled and said hurriedly: "My lord, Cao Ang personally led an army of 250,000 to Lanling and joined Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao!"

"What?" Tao Qian looked at the scout in shock. He never expected that Cao Ang actually led the army to Xuzhou.

"Is this true?" Tao Qian asked the scout. At this time, he still had some illusions.

The scout nodded and said, "My lord, it's absolutely true. How dare I deceive you!"

When Tao Qian heard this, his face turned pale. After he attacked Lu Bu, although he defeated Xiapi, his Xuzhou army also suffered heavy losses!

What's more, even the Xuzhou Army at its peak could not stop the 300,000 Cao Army!

At this time, Tao Qian was frightened to death.

When Chen Deng on the side saw this, he hurriedly said to Tao Qian: "My lord, don't panic. Even if Cao Ang comes with an army of 300,000, so what? He is coming from Wuming. He is going to attract all the princes in the world. Attack them in groups!"

When Tao Qian heard Chen Deng's words, he hurriedly said: "Yuanlong, do you have any countermeasures?"

Chen Deng nodded when he heard this and said: "Lord, we should now unite all the forces that can be combined to resist Cao's army!"

"Unite? Yuanlong, do you mean to unite with Liu Bei and the Taishan bandits?" Tao Qian is also the overlord of the party. Although he is older now, his mentality is a bit bad.

But after Chen Deng gave him some advice, he returned to normal.

He has been operating in Xuzhou all his life, how could he give it up to others?

Thinking of this, Tao Qian said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, if I ask you to go to Mount Tai and persuade Zang Ba to join me in the fight against Cao, would you be willing?"

Hearing this, Chen Deng cupped his hands towards Tao Qian and said, "My lord, I trust you, and I will never give up even to my death!"

"Okay! With Yuanlong and other righteous men here, why should I worry about Cao's army not retreating!" Tao Qian sighed and then continued: "This time, Yuanlong, you go to Mount Tai, I'll go to Langya, and you convince Zang Ba to send troops. , I convinced Liu Bei to send troops!"

Although Liu Bei doesn't have many troops, no matter how small the fly is, it is still a piece of meat!

Without further ado, after making the decision, Tao Qian and Chen Deng set off with their guards.

Tao Qian arrived at Langya and met Liu Bei.

When Tao Qian saw that Guan Yu was also by Liu Bei's side, he couldn't help but feel reassured.

With Liu, Guan, and Zhang here, there is no need to fear Cao Ang's generals!

Thinking of this, Tao Qian was ready to go straight to the point and persuade Liu Bei to send troops, but before he could speak, Liu Bei spoke first. (End of chapter)
