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

Chapter 764 We must leave Xucheng as soon as possible!

"Cao Cao is actually so bold?"

"Cao Cao is indeed very courageous!" Pang Tong said: "But Kong Ming, you have to be clear about one thing, that is, it is impossible for Cao Cao to destroy Yuan Shao in one go. This is our opportunity.

Moreover, Cao Cao has a huge appetite. He wants to swallow Jiangling in one go and threaten Youzhou.

But if Yuan Shu is not eliminated, Cao Cao will have trouble sleeping and eating! So there must be a decisive battle between the two of them. "

"That's true." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "But what are we going to do?"

Pang Tong said: "We must leave Xucheng as soon as possible!"

Zhuge Liang asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Go to Shouchun to find Yuan Shao!"

"Talk to Yuan Shao?"

Zhuge Liang frowned: "I'm afraid Cao Cao has set his sights on Yuan Shao now, let's talk to Yuan Shao.

I'm afraid it will attract Cao Cao's attention and easily reveal our identity. "

"It doesn't matter!" Pang Tong said: "Have you forgotten how we hid it all these years?

As long as we are careful and don't leak any information, no one will suspect us! "

"What's more, we have to rely on Yuan Shao's troops!" Pang Tong said with a smile: "Yuan Shao has strong troops. If we can control Yuan Shao's troops, then Cao Cao will have nothing to fear!"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while and said after a while: "Let's go to Shouchun first to investigate the situation. If the situation is suitable, then we will follow the plan!"

"Thank you Kong Ming!" Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhuge Liang's cooperation, his plan would definitely go smoother.

the other side.

Cao Ang returned to the military camp. He immediately called Xia Houyuan and told him about his encounter with Pang Tong.

Xia Houyuan was shocked after hearing this: "My Lord, is he really such a genius?"

"Yeah! I didn't expect that such a person would exist in the world. If such a talent can be brought under his command, it will definitely be a big help!
It's a pity that he can't be used by me? "Cao Ang sighed.

Xia Houyuan pondered for a moment: "Since the lord thinks that brother is the best among men, why not keep him by force?"

Cao Ang shook his head and smiled: "General Xiahou, you can't force this kind of thing."

Xia Houyuan nodded in agreement: "What my lord said is absolutely true! Let's put this matter aside for now and look for opportunities to contact him in the future."

The two chatted for a few words and then dispersed.

In the dead of night, Cao Ang couldn't sleep, so he took out a scroll he bought today.

In the painting, there is a man wearing a green shirt and holding a long sword, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking into the distance. Although it seems ordinary, it gives people an otherworldly feeling.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and finally couldn't help but pick up a pen and draw it on paper.

Cao Ang nodded happily, and then carefully put the painting away.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the window, and then Xiahou Dun's voice sounded: "My lord, I have something important to report!"

Cao Ang quickly straightened up his appearance, sat upright, and then opened the door.

Xiahou Dun walked in. He cupped his fists and saluted Cao Ang, and then said.

"Lord, many strange faces suddenly appeared in the city tonight. They are located in various areas, and they are very arrogant. Many shops have been smashed, and my subordinates are worried."

"Oh?" Cao Ang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could there be thieves breaking into the city? Have you caught them?"

Xiahou Dun lowered his head and replied: "They had already left when my subordinates arrived. I sent people to check and confirm that they are fine for the time being before I dare to report to you."

Cao Ang thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Take people to various streets to investigate quickly, and don't let thieves take advantage of it! If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

"Yes!" Xiahou Dun responded and retreated.

After he left, Cao Ang lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, and Pang Tong's appearance appeared in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity that such talents were hidden among the people. If he could recruit them to his account, wouldn't it be much better than joining Liu Biao?

Thinking of this, Cao Ang suddenly thought of Liu Bei, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"Damn Liu Bei! How dare you deceive me and make me lose face! When this battle is over, I will make you pay with blood!" Cao Ang cursed secretly.

The next day, early in the morning.

Cao Ang led the troops to Nancheng.

The southern city wall is towering and the city is strong. It is the barrier of the east county, so Cao Ang decided to station 10,000 troops here.

Nancheng is a very prosperous county town. When Cao Ang came, it was relatively stable.

But last night's unrest left the city reeling.

People were hiding in their homes in fear and did not dare to come out. Merchants closed their shops and people did not dare to do business. The originally bustling streets suddenly became deserted.

Early in the morning, Cao Ang had just arrived and saw this scene. Anger suddenly rose in his heart and his face was as gloomy as water.

The surrounding air seemed to have dropped to freezing point, causing the soldiers following him to remain silent.

"Come here!" Cao Ang shouted.

Upon hearing this, generals Cao Hong and Xia Houshang ran over quickly and knelt down on one knee: "The last general is here!"

Cao Ang raised his finger and pointed at Nancheng: "Immediately take three thousand elites to patrol the city gate. If anyone suspicious is found, kill him!"

"Here!" the two generals responded in unison, and then quickly gathered their troops and rushed to the city gate.

Xiahou Dun came to Cao Ang's side, raised his hands and asked, "My lord, don't we need to recruit the army here?"

Cao Ang glanced at him: "What's the hurry? Let's take a look at the defenders of Nancheng first. If they resist, we will raze Nancheng to the ground."

Xiahou Dun quickly said yes.

Soon after, the scouts sent by Xiahou Dun returned and brought news.

"Lord, there are no traces of enemy activity in the city!"

"Yes!" Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and ordered: "All soldiers listen to the order and keep moving forward!"

"No!" the soldiers agreed with a roar, their voices deafening.

Cao Ang rode his horse and walked slowly at the forefront. The people along the way gave way, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

Soon everyone arrived at the busiest street in the city.

The street is spacious and bright, with shops on both sides.

"Lord, there is a grain exchange ahead." Xiahou Dun reminded.

"Oh?" Cao Ang looked forward with interest, and sure enough he saw many merchants gathered together.

He waved to the soldiers to take a rest, then felt a little hungry, so he rode towards the restaurant alone.

The ninth floor was only a few dozen meters away from Cao Ang, and Cao Ang soon approached here.

There are several tables and chairs outside the granary for guests to rest, and the tables are piled with goods.

Cao Ang walked straight to the counter and asked the store clerk: "Shopkeeper, do you have any good wine recommendations?"

The shop clerk raised his head, saw Cao Ang's dress, and immediately showed a respectful expression: "This guest, please go to the back room to discuss in detail."

Cao Ang followed him to the inner room, where the shop assistant made tea himself.

Cao Ang took a sip of tea and asked, "What good wine do you have here? Feel free to recommend it." (End of Chapter)
