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

Cao Ang's purpose was very simple, which was to use Liu Cong to attack Liu Qi and kill people with a borrowed knife, so he was just waiting for the best time to appear.

"General, I'm worried that Liu Qi will jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, his ambitions have become more and more swollen after so many years." the staff reminded.

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Liu Qi doesn't dare to take risks and will not act rashly."

Although Liu Qi is greedy, he is not a fool. He does not dare to gamble with the life of the entire family. He does not have the courage.

"Okay, don't worry about these chores, just do what I say." Cao Ang waved his hand.

"Yes!" The staff took the order and retreated.

"Liu Qi, Liu Qi, I hope you don't blame me. If you do, blame you for being too greedy." Cao Ang's face was ferocious, his eyes were red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

Cao Ang has long been unhappy with Liu Qi, and he also wants to get rid of him, but the latter is more powerful.

Moreover, Liu Qi holds most of Jingzhou's troops, so if he takes action rashly, he is likely to suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Cao Ang chose to use Liu Cong's help to achieve this goal. As for whether the other party can really replace Liu Qi, Cao Ang is not worried at all.

Liu Qi has a violent personality, is easily impulsive, and is simple-minded. How could he possibly defeat Liu Cong with Cao Ang's help?

As long as Cao Ang plans a little, he can easily kill Liu Qi.

In Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao's recent situation has been very bad. Ever since Cao Ang besieged the city, his health has been deteriorating and he even fell ill.

The originally strong body gradually became thinner, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

"Father, please ask a doctor to take a look at my child." Liu Yulian, Liu Biao's eldest daughter, said with concern.

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "No need. My father's body can still hold up. As long as Cao Ang's traitor is killed, it will be worth it even if my father dies immediately."

Liu Yulian sighed and said: "Father, my daughter has heard that Cao Ang has started to make moves again recently. Does he want to take advantage of your serious illness to send troops to attack Jingzhou again?"

Liu Biao was silent for a moment and then said, "Yulian, do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Yulian said: "My daughter thinks we should contact other princes to jointly resist Cao Ang."

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "That's not right. In today's world, various princes have separated themselves and become kings. How can they be willing to help us in Jingzhou to deal with Cao Ang?"

"What's more, there is Cao Cao standing behind Cao Ang."

Liu Yulian continued to persuade: "Father, this is the only way at the moment.

If Cao Ang is allowed to develop and grow, sooner or later our Jingzhou will also be affected, and several other counties will also fall by then. "

Liu Biao pondered for a while, then raised his head and said with twinkling eyes: "Yulian, what you said makes sense. As a father, I will agree to it for now."

"Thank you, father." Liu Yulian said happily.

Liu Biao smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do this, but there was nothing we could do. Now Sun Jian from Jiangdong is also eyeing Jingzhou. Our current situation is very dangerous.

"Father, my daughter will make arrangements now." Liu Yulian said happily.

"Yeah." Liu Biao nodded.

Soon, Liu Yulian walked out of Liu Biao's room. A cold smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but secretly said: "Liu Qi, your death is not far away."

Liu Yulian has always been at odds with Liu Qi, and the two brothers and sisters usually compete with each other.

Although Liu Biao dotes on Liu Yulian, it does not mean that Liu Biao does not love Liu Qi.

It's just that Liu Yulian and Liu Cong are brothers and sisters, but they don't have a good impression of Liu Qi.

Especially a few years ago, Liu Qi married a concubine, which disgusted Liu Yulian even more, so the latter wished Liu Qi would die soon. Liu Yulian found her mother, Cai, and after discussing it for a long time, the other party agreed to the next plan without hesitation.

After Liu Yulian got the news, a hint of gloom appeared on her face, and she murmured: "Liu Qi, I will let you know what cruelty is."

So Liu Yulian decided to use the other party's weaknesses to achieve her own goals.

Cao Ang sat on the main seat and closed his eyes to rest. He had not been able to sleep well in the past few days.

"Report!" The soldiers shouted from outside the door.

Cao Ang opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General, I just received a secret message from the scout." The soldier handed it to Cao Ang respectfully.

Cao Ang opened the secret letter, read it carefully, and frowned: "Yuan Shu's army actually made a move. It seems that Jingzhou asked him for help."

"That guy Yuan Shu is very brave, he actually agreed to help."

Cao Ang couldn't help but mocked: "Yuan Shu is indeed bold, but he is actually a smart man."

"Yuan Shu, his existence is a stumbling block for us."

"General, what are you going to do?" the soldier asked.

Cao Ang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Send cavalry to harass Yuan Shu's grain and grass troops, forcing Yuan Shu to stop rescuing Jingzhou."

"Yes!" The soldier clasped his fists and retreated.

Later, Cao Ang wrote another letter and gave it to the guard at the door, asking him to send it to his father, Cao Cao.

"Sir, we must take some action now, otherwise Liu Qi will think that we are afraid of him." Xia Houyuan on the side reminded.

Cao Ang held the wine glass and said with a smile: "General Xiahou is right, it's time to make some preparations."

Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Ang in surprise. He had expected this situation, but Cao Ang reacted so quickly. No wonder he was respected by his lord.

Cao Ang laughed out loud when he saw Xia Houyuan's surprised look. He patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder and said, "General Xia Hou, there is no need to be shocked. I am just adapting to the situation."

Xia Houyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "The general is too ignorant."

"Haha, General Xiahou is so humble." Cao Ang said with a smile.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" Xia Houyuan asked, changing the subject.

"What we have to do here is to wait and see what happens and wait for the best opportunity." Cao Ang said with a smile.

Xia Houyuan nodded. He very much agreed with Cao Ang's strategy. He couldn't wait to think that he would soon be able to occupy Jingzhou.

Xia Houyuan suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Sir, Liu Bei seems to have taken action."

"Oh, what did Liu Bei do?" Cao Ang asked doubtfully.

Xia Houyuan said: "He sent Zhuge Liang to gather powerful families in Sichuan and Shu, and it seemed that he was going to carry out a general purge there."

Cao Ang frowned and said, "Liu Bei's appetite is too big. It's simply wishful thinking."

"Liu Bei must have his support for doing this. I wonder what the young master's plan is?" Xia Houyuan asked.

Cao Ang took a sip of wine with a sneer on his lips: "Let's stand still for now. The more Liu Bei wants to interfere in our affairs, the less we can let him get his wish."

Xia Houyuan nodded in agreement. Looking at the unpredictable expression on Cao Ang's face, he couldn't see through the other person's inner thoughts for a while. (End of chapter)
