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

Zhang Liao sat on horseback and looked at the enemy troops that were gradually thinning outside the city. He narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "The enemy's attack has slowed down. It seems that they are preparing to retreat!"

"Order all soldiers to be alert and pay attention to what's going on around them."

"promise!"

The general next to him took the order and immediately conveyed the order.

After a moment, Zhang Liao felt something strange. He looked up and saw enemy troops with black crows approaching quickly in the distance.

"The enemy is planning to attack!"

Zhang Liao's pupils shrank suddenly and he shouted hurriedly: "Instruct all soldiers to prepare for battle!"

"clang!"

Just when Zhang Liao's order was given, he suddenly heard a melodious horn sound in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu's army stopped attacking.

"The enemy is about to withdraw!"

Zhang Liao relaxed a little when he saw it, but then frowned and said, "It's strange, why did Lu Bu choose to give up the attack?"

According to Zhang Liao's plan, Lu Bu's army should take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang City!
"Report, general, Lu Bu's army has retreated!"

At this moment, the deputy general hurried in and reported.

"Hahaha, finally leaving!"

Zhang Liao was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Notify all the soldiers guarding the city immediately to prepare for the arrival of the lord!"

"Yes!"

The deputy general clasped his fists in response and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao led all the defenders to stand on the tower, respectfully waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.

About half an hour later, a war horse galloped from a distance.

On the horseback was Liu Bei.

On his right were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

When they arrived in front of Xiangyang City, Zhang Liao led his troops and knelt on the ground: "I respectfully welcome my lord!"

"Fengxian, thank you for your hard work!" Liu Bei got off his horse, helped Zhang Liao up, and looked at the Xiangyang City Road.

"Lü Bu's army has left. Xiangyang City will soon regain its calm. The rest will be left to you!"

"The general understands!" Zhang Liao solemnly said: "The general will never let down the trust of the lord!"

"Haha, that's good!"

Liu Bei patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Cao Ang on the other side was walking on the streets of the city. He looked at the prosperous Xiangyang City with envy on his face: "It is indeed the largest city in Jingzhou. It is indeed much more prosperous than Luoyang!"

"But after all, Xiangyang City does not belong to us in Yanzhou, so we don't have much sense of belonging!"

"On the contrary, Yizhou is suitable for me!"

With expectation on his face, Cao Ang murmured: "Old Liu Biao, old Liu Biao, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I have already reported some situations in Jingzhou to my father!"

"When my father accepts my suggestion, he will definitely allow me to enter Yizhou!"

"You will just wait to die then!"

His ambition is very small and he does not compete for power like the other brothers.

All he wants is a stable home and a wealthy life!

"My lord, there is a teahouse in front of you!"

At this moment, the guard beside him suddenly reminded him.

"Oh? Is there a teahouse?"

When Cao Ang heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Since we have met, let's go have a cup of tea and listen to what the tea guests talk about!"

"Let's go into the teahouse and have a look!"

Cao Ang walked into the teahouse, found a seat and sat down. He called the waiter and asked, "Man, what delicious food do you have here?"

"Good wine, good food, everything you need!" the waiter said with a smile.

"Then come to Hulongjing, remember to ask for a good one!"

"okay!"

The waiter responded, turned and left.

Cao Ang looked around the entire teahouse and saw that there were no other guests except himself, making it look much deserted.

“It’s probably been a long time since anyone came to this teahouse!”

Cao Ang shook his head, took a sip of tea. It is warm in the mouth, refreshing and unforgettable.

"what?"

Suddenly, Cao Ang found a young man wearing ordinary clothes sitting at the tea table, seemingly sipping tea!

"My guest, are you here to have tea too?" Cao Ang stepped forward and asked.

"Ok!"

The young man nodded and said calmly: "I'm in a good mood today and I want to drink tea to relieve my boredom!"

"Hahaha, my guest is really good at joking. If you were in a bad mood, you wouldn't come here!"

Cao Ang laughed: "Sir, please forgive me for being presumptuous, are you alone today?"

"Not bad!"

"What a coincidence!"

A bright smile appeared on Cao Ang's face: "I am also a person, let's talk?"

"What are you talking about?" the young man asked.

"Just talk about why you are in a bad mood!"

"Why am I in a bad mood? What does it have to do with you?"

The young man's tone was still cold, and he paid no attention to Cao Ang's meaning.

"Uh."

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and his face turned gloomy. He didn't expect that this young man would dare to refuse him.

"I came here specifically to admonish you on your lord's order. I hope you can return from your lost ways!"

"I don't know what you are talking about!" The young man's tone was still cold.

"Hmph, you think you can just pretend to be stupid?"

Cao Ang sneered: "To tell you the truth, Lu Bu's army has been defeated. It won't take long for us to take Xiangyang City."

"I advise you to be wise. If you surrender, you can still save your life. Otherwise, hey."

After speaking, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Cao Ang's mouth.

"I don't have time to play with you, get out!"

The young man's attitude immediately angered Cao Ang. He stood up suddenly, pointed at the young man's nose and cursed: "I think you are offering a toast instead of eating and you will be fined. Come on, catch this guy!"

"Yes!"

Behind Cao Ang, two soldiers immediately rushed out and pounced on the young man.

"Humph!"

The young man snorted, flicked his wrist, and two chopsticks flew out, piercing the air and hitting the throats of the two soldiers instantly.

"puff!"

The two soldiers' Adam's apples were pierced, and blood spurted out. They stared at the young man with wide eyes and slowly fell down.

"hiss!"

Seeing this scene, many people around him took a deep breath.

"How could it be so powerful?"

"Killing people like hemp, just like a butcher!"

"It's over, this person must be a rebel!"

A group of people fled in all directions.

"You. How dare you kill my people?"

Cao Ang was so frightened that he was scared to death. He pointed at the young man and shouted: "Come here, catch this guy and kill him!"

Although Cao Ang was a playboy, he was not stupid. He knew that with the few troops under his command, he could not be a match for the young man. He could only survive by calling for reinforcements.

"Haha, you want me to die?"

The young man glanced at Cao Ang and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a hint of ridicule.

Immediately, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it on the table: "Do you recognize this thing?"

"What is this?"

Cao Ang picked up the jade pendant doubtfully and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, his pupils shrank and he shouted. (End of chapter)
