The waiter immediately replied: "In addition to good wine, I also have good food here. It is guaranteed to taste delicious and the price is fair."

"Talk about it!"

The store clerk said: "I have a box of aged wine here, which has been stored for ten years and has a mellow taste; a pot of peach blossom wine brewed with osmanthus honey, priced at ten gold per bottle, an absolute masterpiece; and five jars of daughter's red wine."

He introduced them one by one, while Cao Ang listened carefully and occasionally commented.

After a while, Cao Ang put down the cup and said, "These wines are good, wrap them up for me."

"Thank you, sir, it's a hundred taels in total!" the store clerk said, holding out a finger.

Cao Ang frowned: "Why is it so expensive?"

The shop clerk quickly explained: "Sir, this is the best restaurant in Nancheng, and the price is naturally the highest. If you think it is expensive, you can try it elsewhere."

Cao Ang was unhappy when he heard this and said, "How can it be sold so expensively?"

The store clerk smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, this is the best price we have here."

Cao Ang glared at the store clerk angrily: "Huh, what a profiteer."

Although he said this, Cao Ang still paid the bill. After all, he took the initiative to buy the wine, and he didn't ask for credit.

After Cao Ang got the things, he immediately asked people to carry the wine onto the carriage.

Before leaving, Cao Ang suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "By the way, I remember that there is a lot of grain and grass stored in the granary in Nancheng, right?"

"Huh? How do you know this, sir?" The store clerk asked in surprise. There is indeed a lot of food stored in the granary. Not only food, but also many vegetables, grains and oils and other materials, it can be said that it is piled up like a mountain.

Cao Ang chuckled: "I guessed it!"

After speaking, Cao Ang left.

The store clerk touched the cold sweat on his forehead and murmured: "This guy is not simple!"

After Cao Ang got the information he wanted, he continued to the next target.

Cao Ang walked around Nancheng and even robbed the wealthy merchants in Nancheng. However, thanks to the protection of Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun, he managed to escape smoothly.

During this period, both Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan felt extremely aggrieved. They were top military generals, but they were reduced to the role of bodyguards.

On the other side, Cao Ang stayed in Nancheng for four full days before leaving Nancheng.

The wealthy merchants and powerful men in Nancheng City had been looted by him, and Cao Ang gained a lot.

He returned to Yanzhou, found Xun Yu, and told him that he had successfully occupied Nancheng.

Xun Yu was extremely excited: "My lord is mighty!"

Cao Ang shook his head: "My victory this time was actually a bit of a fluke. If I hadn't been lucky and Liu Bei's main force retreated, I might have been in danger."

Xun Yu nodded in agreement: "No matter what, my lord has recovered quite a lot this time!"

"By the way, my lord, Liu Bei left a lot of food and grass behind when he retreated. Do we want to rob them?" Xun Yu suddenly thought of this.

Cao Ang laughed: "You underestimate Liu Xuande!"

Xun Yu was stunned: "Is there still fraud?"

Cao Ang said: "People like Liu Bei are very cunning. He will definitely deploy heavy troops to prevent us from stealing food and grass.

Although he must have left a lot of food and grass, if we rushed forward rashly, we would easily be ambushed and the gain would outweigh the loss. "

Xun Yu suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Cao Ang said: "But we might as well take advantage of the night to sneak attack Liu Bei's camp. It would be even better if we can capture Liu Bei."

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since my lord is so elegant, I will obey your orders!"

Cao Ang prepared all his luggage and left Yanzhou together with Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan.

They lurked day and night, heading north to kill Liu Bei's camp.

Because it was dark and the road was slippery, and the journey was long, a lot of time was wasted along the way. When they arrived near Liu Bei's military camp, they found that the lights in Liu Bei's camp were brightly lit, and a banquet was obviously being held.

Cao Ang frowned slightly when he saw this: "I don't know if this is the Hongmen Banquet prepared for us!"

Xia Houyuan sneered: "The more Liu Bei does this, the more I like it."

Xun Yu also agreed: "I suggest that we should be more careful. We can also use the same method to lure them and then ambush them."

Cao Ang pondered for a while: "That's not right! Liu Bei is cunning and changeable. We may not be able to defeat him. We'd better investigate in secret first."

Xun Yu and Xia Houyuan had no choice but to agree to Cao Ang's suggestion.

Cao Ang and the three men hid in the dark and observed for half an hour. As a result, Liu Bei's army was heavily guarded and there was no loophole.

Xia Houyuan whispered: "My lord, it seems that it is not realistic for us to ambush Liu Bei!"

Cao Ang's face was uncertain.

He could also see that Liu Bei's camp was heavily guarded, and it would be very difficult for his group of people to approach Liu Bei's base camp without anyone noticing.

"Lord, I have a solution!" Xun Yu said suddenly.

"Oh, tell me!" Cao Ang said quickly.

Xun Yu said: "Tonight, my subordinates personally took action to lure Liu Bei's soldiers.

As long as one of his subordinates shows up, Liu Bei will definitely send people to hunt him down.

At that time, the lord can sneak in and burn down the granary! "

Cao Ang was overjoyed. He didn't expect Xun Yu to have such brave and invincible courage.

But after thinking about it, Cao Ang felt that the risk of this matter was quite high. Although Xun Yu was brave and invincible, he could not withstand Liu Bei's large army.

If there are many experts in Liu Bei's army, or if Liu Bei personally leads people to surround him, Xun Yu may be in trouble.

So Cao Ang advised: "Wen Ruo, this matter is related to life safety, you should think it over carefully before talking."

Xun Yu insisted: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will never be in any danger!"

Cao Ang sighed, knowing Xun Yu's temper and trying to dissuade him was ineffective, so he agreed, "Okay. But you must pay attention to your safety!"

"My subordinates, please remember this!" Xun Yu said, cupping his hands.

Later, Xun Yu left the main army and led a group of elite teams to Liu Bei's camp.

Xun Yu quietly approached the camp.

At this time, Liu Bei's base camp was brightly lit, and the soldiers were chatting and laughing among each other.

Liu Bei sat in the first place, looking very satisfied. Beside him were several beauties.

Moreover, each of them was wearing a tulle skirt, revealing a white patch on their chest, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Everyone, I dedicate this glass of wine to you all!" Liu Bei raised the wine bottle and gestured to everyone.

"Thank you, Mr. Xuande!" Everyone stood up and complimented Liu Bei.

Liu Bei laughed, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking the glass of wine, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Today, I, Liu Bei, with the help of you all, successfully defeated Wancheng. Thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone praised Liu Bei's wisdom and martial arts.

Just as Liu Bei was enjoying the adulation from everyone, there was suddenly a rapid shouting.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Archers, prepare, shoot them to death!"

In an instant, various roars and roars resounded through the sky, and the entire camp fell into chaos. (End of chapter)
