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

Chapter 829 Negotiating Countermeasures
After Chen Gong brought Dian Wei back to Beihai Kingdom, he immediately found Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, you asked me to stay in Xu Du before, and now Cao Ang has ordered me to go to Yanzhou. I understand what my lord means, but what about you? What do you think?" Chen Gong asked.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Master Wen, your wisdom is unmatched.

I think you should know the reason. When you went to Yanzhou, I naturally followed you. "

"Fengxiao, are you really going to Yanzhou?" Chen Gong's expression changed.

Guo Jia shook his head and said solemnly: "Wentai, although I, Guo Fengxiao, love vanity, greed and lust.

But I never deceive my conscience.

My lord is a hero, and I believe in his choice. Don't worry, as long as I, Guo Jia, am alive, I will not allow Cao Ang to harm my lord in the slightest."

Chen Gong remained silent after hearing this. After a moment, he said, "Fengxiao, the lord doesn't want you to follow him. Why are you so stubborn?"

“Although I am a small person, my conscience tells me that I must never betray my lord.

If I leave, I will probably never forgive myself in this life." Guo Jia said firmly.

"Well, in that case, I can only give you one word of advice." Chen Gong sighed.

"Oh?" Guo Jia looked at Chen Gong with interest. He wanted to see what Chen Gong would say.

Chen Gong said slowly: "Your Majesty, you must not make plans with them, otherwise it will surely bring disaster to the world."

"Hahaha, Chen Wentai, what you said is a bit exaggerated." Guo Jia laughed.

"I dare not say that I am smarter than you, but I know that I will never make a mistake. I am only loyal to my lord."

Chen Gong looked bitter, it seemed that he could not persuade Guo Jia.

Guo Jia stood up and patted Chen Gong on the shoulder: "Wen Tai, I appreciate your kindness. But I have made up my mind. You should continue to stay in Xu Du."

Chen Gong knew Guo Jia's temper. He was determined that Liu Yu would not change his mind. Chen Gong had no way to convince Guo Jia and could only give up.

Guo Jia turned around and left.

Chen Gong was alone in a daze for a long time, and murmured: "Am I destined to be a counselor?"

Cao Ang and Liu Bei left Xu Du with a large army and headed towards Yanzhou.

Yanzhou was the barrier of Sanchuan County, and it was not an easy task for Cao Ang to take over Sanchuan County. However, with the information provided by Xu Shu, Cao Ang knew how to resolve this crisis.

In the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion, Cao Ang sat on the upper seat and looked at the people below and said, "My fellow ministers, I have asked you to come here today.

Because I will be away from Xudu for a while. This time, Wen Yuan will lead the attack."

"I obey your order!" The generals accepted the order.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction and said, "While I am away, Yecheng will be left to you, the nobles."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. With me here, Yecheng will be absolutely safe!" Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and guaranteed.

Cao Ang was quite confident in Xiahou Yuan, this powerful general.

"Your Majesty, you can't leave." Shen Pei shouted hurriedly.

Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Yuan Tu, it's none of your business where His Majesty is going. What you should be concerned about now is Yecheng."

Shen Pei was speechless after being choked by Xiahou Dun. He was only concerned about Cao Ang's safety.

Cao Ang looked at Shen Pei indifferently, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, which made Shen Pei feel tremendous pressure.

"Your Majesty." Shen Pei swallowed and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cao Ang.

"Prime Minister, I have legitimate reasons for going on this expedition. So, you don't need to say more." After saying this, Cao Ang waved his sleeves and left.

After Cao Ang walked out of the room, he said to Dian Wei, "Dian Wei, pass on my oral order and let Lu Bu lead his troops to Yuzhou immediately to assist Liu Xuande in capturing Yanzhou." After receiving Cao Ang's order, Dian Wei immediately went down to convey Cao Ang's order.

"Fengxiao, what do you think our chances of winning this battle are?" Cao Ang asked.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Master Cao, you don't have to worry. I'm ready. You'll know when the time comes."

Cao Ang was relieved when he saw Guo Jia was confident. Guo Jia was so confident, he must have grasped something.

On the other hand, Xun You also summoned his advisers to discuss the next course of action.

"My lord, this time our army's goal is to capture Yanzhou and then seize the entire territory of Yanzhou.

But our army has just experienced a great battle, and the loss of food and grass is serious. If we forcefully attack Yanzhou, I am afraid the outcome will be unpredictable. "Xun You expressed his concerns.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I suggest that we hold our troops in place for now. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements before making any plans."

Xun You nodded, indicating that he agreed with Cheng Yu's point of view.

"Then we will send an envoy to contact Liu Xuande first." Cao Ang said: "This mission is very difficult. We must not be careless and must act with caution."

"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Yu replied.

When Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, received a request for an audience from Cao Ang's envoy, he cursed Cao Ang in his heart.

Cao Ang sending an envoy here is definitely not a good thing. But Liu Dai has no choice, after all, he needs Cao Ang's support now.

When Liu Dai arrived at the meeting room, he saw that the envoy sent by Cao Ang was actually Xun Yu, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Xun Wenruo, why did you come here in person?"

Xun Yu said respectfully: "Liu Yanzhou, I am here to inform you on behalf of your majesty.

My master is preparing to cross the Yellow River to the south and attack Qingzhou. I ask the governor of Yanzhou to prepare the ships as soon as possible.

At that time, the Lord will personally come to Yanzhou."

Xun Yu's words almost frightened Liu Dai. He never expected that Cao Ang would actually cross the Yellow River to the south. This was too crazy. This was going to be a complete fallout with Sun Ce.

"This..." Liu Dai stuttered. He never expected something like this to happen.

Xun Yu saw Liu Dai's appearance and smiled slightly: "Yanzhou Mu, His Majesty's decree has been issued. I hope you will not delay my master's great cause."

Liu Dai's hands were shaking, and he really didn't want to accept this imperial edict.

In the end, Liu Dai gritted his teeth and accepted it. He could not refuse any request from Cao Ang.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "If the governor of Yanzhou has no objection, then please prepare."

Liu Dai had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, Xun Yu returned to Cao Ang to report.

"Xun Wenruo, thank you for your hard work!" Cao Ang said with a smile.

Xun Yu said modestly: "My lord, you are too kind. It is my duty."

"Okay, go and have a rest." Cao Ang said with a smile.

After Xun Yu left, Cao Ang's face turned grim: "Humph, do you really think I'm a sick cat? This time, I'll make you pay a heavy price!"

The war between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce continued, and the military strength of both sides was dwindling.

This time, Yuan Shu mobilized troops and transferred the elite troops from Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou to Beihai Kingdom to strengthen the defense.

Yuan Shu is now fighting to the death. As long as he can hold on to the lands of these three states, his foundation will be solid.

As for Donglai, Yuan Shu can't take care of it now.
