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

Chapter 673: Cheers to our happy cooperation this time!

"Alas! My wise nephew is generous and not as narrow-minded as Liu Biao." Sun Jian shook his head and said seriously.

"Uncle, please stop talking about this and please go into the camp to rest." Cao Ang smiled bitterly and changed the subject.

"Haha, okay, let's enter the camp now." Sun Jian smiled heartily and took the lead to walk towards the camp.

Cao Ang followed, and the two of them chatted all the way, as if they had forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

Soon, Cao Ang led Sun Jian and a group of people to the temporary barracks he arranged.

"Uncle, my nephew's tent is in a poor environment. I hope your uncle won't mind." Cao Ang pointed at the tent in front of him and said apologetically.

"As far as my nephew is concerned, you have already made good arrangements." Sun Jian responded with a smile, and then said: "But I'm afraid you don't know the situation here yet."

After hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but become confused, wondering what Sun Jian meant by this.

Sun Jian seemed to be aware of it, so he explained: "The elites I just brought are all the most elite troops in Jiangdong, more than five thousand people."

"So many?" Cao Ang's eyes widened in surprise. He had thought that Sun Jian's elite men would only be three to four thousand at best.

As a result, Sun Jian brought more than 5,000 people, which surprised Cao Cao.

"Good nephew, uncle, although my men are elite, they are usually responsible for stationing in Jiangdong. If they are transferred away for too long, Liu Biao will definitely find an opportunity to attack Jiangling."

"That's why I came here this time. Uncle, I didn't bring much food and grass, so as not to arouse Liu Biao's vigilance."

Sun Jian pretended to ponder for a moment, then sighed and said: "Therefore, my uncle can only borrow your nephew's food and grass. I hope my nephew doesn't mind."

"What are you talking about, uncle! My uncle did this for the sake of Jiangdong's stability. How could my nephew be angry?"

Of course, Cao Ang would not fall out with Sun Jian because of this matter. After all, the two still need to cooperate.

"Since my nephew understands, it's good that my uncle will borrow my nephew's food this time. I hope my nephew won't take it too seriously."

Sun Jian said with a smile, his attitude was sincere and not at all arrogant or domineering.

"Uncle, you are serious. I won't worry about the food and grass. The food in my granary is piled up. There is no shortage of food at all." Cao Ang waved his hand.

His grain reserves are very rich, and a batch of grain is transported almost every few days and stored in the granary outside the city.

During this period of time, Cao Cao transported a total of more than 100,000 shi of grain to him.

Since Sun Jian wanted to take advantage of it, Cao Ang naturally wouldn't worry too much about this matter.

"Haha, then I'll trouble my nephew." Sun Jian said with a smile and cupped his hands.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

After Cao Ang finished talking to Sun Jian, he said goodbye and left.

After leaving Sun Jian's camp, Cao Ang returned to his own camp and ordered the soldiers to clean up the surrounding area.

Afterwards, he locked himself in the room and thought about how to deal with the spies sent by Sun Quan.

"Sir, do you really believe what Sun Jian says?" Cao Hong asked at the door.

"Hmph! I know better than anyone whether Sun Jian is telling the truth, but I won't expose him." Cao Ang snorted coldly.

When Cao Hong heard this, his face was at a loss, "Sir, my subordinate is stupid, please clarify my confusion!"

"Just think, if I tell you the truth now, Sun Jian will definitely guess that I have taken precautions.

Even if I don't move him, he may not be kind to us. Instead, he will secretly do evil things to us, and may even take the opportunity to do evil things to us. "Cao Ang explained.

"That's what Young Master means." Cao Hong was still confused.

"Hehe!" Cao Ang chuckled, "Sun Jian is just a reckless man. If I can use his plan to his advantage, not only can I get rid of Sun Jian's power, I can even weaken Jiangdong's power.

And if it succeeds this time, it will be equivalent to weakening Jiangdong's power. This is a good thing that can be achieved with one stone! "Cao Hong suddenly realized what he said, and at the same time he admired Cao Ang even more.

"Young Master is so smart. If it weren't for Young Master, I would never have thought of this method." Cao Hong complimented.

"You! You're just sweet." Cao Ang laughed and scolded.

"Sir, my subordinates will send orders to the generals to be more vigilant and be on guard against Sun Jian," Cao Hong said.

"Yes! Just do as I say." Cao Ang nodded in agreement.

After giving orders to Cao Hong, Cao Ang took out a pen and paper and wrote down the previous plan.

After writing the plan, Cao Ang fell silent while looking at the plan. He always felt that this strategy was too risky.

"No, I can never make fun of the entire Cao family. I must be more cautious this time."

Cao Ang frowned and murmured.

Suddenly, Cao Ang looked up out of the window and murmured: "Since this plan is too risky, I have to change the original plan, otherwise it will be difficult for me to complete it smoothly."

"Come here!" Cao Ang shouted toward the door.

"Sir!" A guard pushed open the door and entered.

"I'm going to host a banquet for Sun Jian and the Jiangdong generals tonight. You should immediately send someone to notify everyone so that they can prepare to attend." Cao Ang ordered.

"I obey, young master." The guard immediately left the room to inform.

"Hey! These people! They are still too young." Cao Ang shook his head helplessly.

However, Cao Ang didn't say much and continued to write and draw, thinking about new strategies.

As night fell, the lights in Cao Jun's camp were brightly lit, and many soldiers were busy.

The banquet has been set, and Cao Ang, Xia Houyuan, and other important generals have taken their seats.

"Mr. Cao, why did you invite me to wait for you today?"

Sun Jian smiled slightly when he saw this and went straight to the point.

"Haha, Uncle Sun is joking. You have traveled thousands of miles to come to Xiangyang. As the master, how can I neglect you?"

Cao Ang laughed loudly, then picked up the wine glass on the table and said: "Come, let's drink to our happy cooperation this time!"

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cao Ang began to get down to business.

"Uncle Sun, I invite you here this time to discuss something with you." Cao Ang said.

"Oh? What happened?" Sun Jian said in surprise.

"I plan to attack Liu Biao on a certain day. I wonder if you are interested in participating?" Cao Ang said with a smile.

"Attacking Liu Biao?" Sun Jian deliberately showed a look of astonishment and said: "Liu Biao is just a weak civil servant. Why did the young master suddenly attack him?"

Hearing Sun Jian's questioning, a trace of anger appeared on Cao Ang's face, but it was well hidden by him.

"I plan to capture Jingzhou!"

Cao Ang said with a cold tone.

"Capture Jingzhou?" Sun Jian's expression changed and he said eagerly: "Sir, this Jingzhou is no small matter!
Although Liu Jingsheng is a softie, Liu Cong and others are not fuel-efficient lamps.
