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

On the sea, the huge fleet has stopped.

Soon, on the big ship, small boats began to be launched into the sea. Groups of soldiers stood on the small boats and began to dock.

When Chen Dao and his men came to the offshore in a small boat, he saw Cao Ang waiting for them there from a distance.

"Major General? How did you know that the general will arrive at the coast today?" Chen Dao greeted Cao Ang with a surprised look on his face.

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "I guess today is the day, but what I didn't expect was that you actually brought so many ships and people."

Chen Dao smiled when he heard this, then turned to look at the big ships on the sea, and murmured: "Actually, I didn't expect that we actually have so many ships!"

Lu Bu on one side put his hands on his hips and looked at the big ships on the sea. He couldn't help but ask Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, where did these ships come from?"

When Chen Dao heard this, he glanced at Cao Ang first, and then explained: "Before, the Major General built the shipyard on the riverside of the Second County of Huainan. Under the governance of Zijing, the production of treasure ships there was very fast and the quality was good. It’s also guaranteed.”

"I went back this time and told Zijing that he would immediately have all the completed treasure ships put into use. That's why there are so many treasure ships."

"As for the three five-toothed ships, they were built in Qingzhou's shipyard. These five-toothed ships were larger than the treasure ships, so only three were built."

After everyone listened to Chen Dao's explanation, they all suddenly understood.

Guo Jia asked straight to the point: "Uncle Zhi, how many capable soldiers did you bring with you on this trip?"

"Fifty thousand elite soldiers and ten thousand cavalry!" Chen Dao said with a hint of arrogance.

The elite troops he brought with him on this trip were Cao's troops drawn from Qingzhou, and the 10,000 cavalry were light cavalry trained by him personally.

These cavalry are different from the heavy cavalry like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Their main focus is flexibility, but they are better equipped and are equivalent to an enhanced version of the White Horse Yisong.

Guo Jia felt more confident when he heard that Chen Dao had brought 60,000 people.

He looked at Cao Ang and said loudly: "Major General, with these 60,000 reinforcements, we can take the initiative to attack and defeat the Goguryeo army."

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all gearing up and eager to try.

Cao Ang looked at everyone, smiled, shook his head and said, "No, we still have to defend the city."

When Huang Zhong and Lu Bu heard this, they immediately looked at Cao Ang with puzzled faces.

"Major General, although our troops are smaller than the Goguryeo army, if there is a fight, our sixty or seventy thousand people will be enough to knock the people they fight off their backs!" Huang Zhong was the first to ask.

"Yes, Major General, what Han Sheng said makes sense!" Lu Bu on the side also agreed.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, said nothing, lowering his head and thinking about why Cao Ang made such a decision.

Guo Jia on the side immediately understood what Cao Ang meant.

So Guo Jia smiled and explained to several generals: "The young general's intention must be to wait for work. Our troops have only a slight disadvantage now. We can set up an ambush in advance and wait for the opponent to get into our ambush." Victory.”

When Cao Ang heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Fengxiao really understands my heart. Come on, let's go back and make careful arrangements to win a battle to determine Liaodong!"

Following Cao Ang's order, all the soldiers followed Cao Ang back to Xi'an Pingcheng.

After some simple repairs, Cao Ang made arrangements. "Han Sheng, you take 20,000 troops and station them to the west of Xi'anping. When the Goguryeo army comes and the war begins, you can lead them out."

"Marquis Wen, you also take 20,000 troops and ambush east of Xi'anping to cut off the passage between Liaodong and Goguryeo to prevent them from escaping."

"Uncle Zhi, you follow Feng Xiao and lead the remaining troops to defend the city in Xi'an Pingzhong!"

"Zilong, follow me and take the ten thousand light cavalry to outflank the retreat of the Goguryeo army!"

After everyone listened to Cao Ang's instructions, they all said in unison: "The last general (below) takes the order!"

After making arrangements, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu set off with their people respectively.

Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu's leaving figure and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Major General, if you release Lu Bu and let him lead the troops alone, will he really not rebel?"

Zhao Yun and Chen Dao on the side heard this question and looked at Cao Ang together.

Cao Ang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, Lu Bu has no reason to betray me anymore. When he worshiped Dingyuan as his adoptive father, it was for his own future."

"Later, he betrayed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo for his own future. Later, he killed Dong Zhuo and defected to Xuzhou because he wanted to separate himself and become a prince."

"It's just that now, his dream of separatist power has been completely shattered. For his future, he can only serve under my command. Otherwise, he can only return to his hometown and become a rich man."

"However, he will definitely not be able to return to Bingzhou. After all, Ding Yuan is still the governor of Bingzhou. If he loses power and returns to Bingzhou, it would be strange if Ding Yuan does not seek revenge on him."

"What's more, the troops under my command will not rebel with Lu Bu. After all, no matter who they follow, they will not be treated as well as those who follow me!"

After everyone listened to Cao Ang's analysis, they fully accepted Lu Bu, but they were still a little wary of him.

And Cao Ang's analysis is completely correct.

At this time, Lu Bu only wanted to achieve meritorious service and be promoted to a noble position. As for the matter of separatist power, he would not think about it again.

At Lu Bu's place, in the camp.

All the soldiers gathered, and Lu Bu stood in front of them, giving a lecture.

"My fellow soldiers, in this battle, we are fighting the Goguryeo army. Therefore, when the war begins, you must not show mercy. I am still waiting for meritorious service and go back to find the Major General to be promoted to a rank!"

"You remember, during the war, everyone took the initiative to attack with this prince and left all the Goguryeo soldiers here. If one of them escapes, I will take it upon you. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Cao Jun responded in unison.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Jun, who had strict military discipline and neat military appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, he also sighed in his heart.

"The Major General deserves to be called a Major General. I have never seen such a disciplined army anywhere except the Cao Army under the Major General."

"Even the trapped camp that Gao Shun trained back then is probably not as good as ordinary Cao Jun!" (End of Chapter)
