Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!
Chapter 884 Chasing Troops
"This time, I plan to have Zilong lead the elite cavalry to catch up with Yuan Shao's remaining troops and destroy them in one fell swoop."
"My lord is wise!" Zhuge Liang and others agreed with Cao Ang's approach.
Cao Ang went on to say: “But I think there is something wrong with chasing the enemy all the way.
I am afraid that my whereabouts will be exposed, so I think it is better to let Xu Huang and Meng De lead the troops to pursue the enemy. This way I can rest assured. What do you think? "
Zhuge Liang thought about it and felt that what Cao Ang said made sense. He did not refute Cao Ang, but instead spoke in agreement.
"My lord, you are right. Xu Yuanzhi and Meng Yan are capable of suppressing the enemy. It is most appropriate for them to pursue them."
"Well, then, follow Kong Ming's advice and send Xu Huang and Meng Yan to lead the army to pursue the remnants of Yuan Shao.
Also, have Meng Yan and Feng Xiao bring more money and food to avoid the death of Yuan Shao's soldiers." Cao Ang ordered.
"I obey your order!" General Pang said.
Cao Ang turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, write a memorial to Yuan Tan immediately and ask him to arrange for it to be sent to Yecheng as soon as possible."
"I obey your order!" Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Ang would definitely put pressure on Yuan Tan.
Cao Ang looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, I plan to appoint you as the governor of Qingzhou! I will also mobilize the troops of Yanzhou to help you suppress the rebellion. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun had never thought that Cao Ang would make an exception and appoint him as the governor of Qingzhou. He said excitedly, "I obey your command!"
Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction: "Since you have become the governor of Qingzhou, I promise you a promise that you can choose whether to enter the government or not in the future!"
"Thank you for your grace!" Zhao Yun thanked again.
Cao Ang looked at the other three counselors and said, "You should also seize the opportunity. I hope to hear good news from you in the future!"
"We will obey the lord's order!" Pang Tong, Ju Su and Jia Xu responded in unison.
"Well, you guys can leave now. Zilong, come with me back to the palace." Cao Ang said calmly.
"Yes!" the four said in unison.
Zhao Yun followed Cao Ang, feeling very emotional. He was flattered that Cao Ang allowed him to follow him.
On the way back to the palace, Cao Ang asked Zhao Yun about Cao Cao, which made Zhao Yun embarrassed and he didn't know how to answer.
Cao Ang laughed and scolded: "Don't you even want to answer my question?"
"I dare not!" Zhao Yun said respectfully.
"Let me ask you, what is Cao Cao's attitude now? Has he surrendered to Yuan Shao?" Cao Ang continued to ask.
Zhao Yun said in distress: "My lord, this Cao Cao he. He."
"What's wrong with him? Tell me!" Cao Ang's face darkened.
Zhao Yun said with a stiff face: "My lord, Cao Cao rejected your invitation and said that he was unwilling to participate in the struggle between the royal families."
"This guy is really too bold." Cao Ang slapped the armrest of the seat angrily. Cao Cao was so ungrateful.
Zhao Yun was frightened, fearing that Cao Ang would vent his anger on him, so he hurriedly explained.
"Please forgive me, my lord. This is what Cao Cao said himself.
He also said that you are a wise ruler and will never act recklessly like Yuan Shao. He believes that you will treat the people of the world well. "
When Cao Ang heard what Cao Cao said, he was secretly delighted. These words of Cao Cao were simply tailor-made for him.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he secretly observed the changes in Cao Ang's expression and found that Cao Ang's expression had returned to calm.
I felt relieved. Fortunately, Cao Cao woke up in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Cao Ang snorted coldly: "This Cao Mengde is smart. I don't want to cause trouble to him for the time being. But if he continues to be arrogant, then it's not my fault!"
Cao Ang's meaning was very clear. If Cao Cao was honest, he would not bother to be cruel to Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao was one of the people Cao Ang valued most.
If Cao Cao continued to refuse to cooperate, Cao Ang would have no choice but to take tough measures.
Zhao Yun had no doubt about Cao Ang's threat because he felt the murderous intent from Cao Ang.
After returning to the palace, Cao Ang summoned many civil and military officials to discuss and decided to launch a fierce attack on Chen County after capturing it tonight.
Chen County was Yuan Shao's seat of government. Cao Ang believed that Yuan Shao would panic if Chen County was captured.
As for the defense of Chen County, Cao Ang already had a plan. He planned to let Lu Bu lead the White Horse Volunteers and the Xianzhen Camp to launch a surprise attack.
Once Chen County is captured, Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw, so Cao Ang doesn't need to take the remaining troops in Chen County into consideration at all.
After nightfall, Cao Ang took Zhao Yun, several advisers, and generals such as Dian Wei and Huang Zhong and attacked towards Chen County.
When Cao Ang arrived at the gate of Chen County, all the guards of Chen County were lying in a pool of blood.
Cao Ang leaped lightly onto the city wall and overlooked the entire Chen County. Cao Ang sneered twice: "Yuan Shao, you can't escape!"
Cao Ang's sudden intrusion made the generals defending Chen County tremble with fear. Cao Ang brought too many troops.
There are thousands of archers alone, not to mention other troops. Once the siege begins, Chen County will be in danger.
"My lord, I am Wang Wei, the defender of Chen County. I beg you to spare my life!" Wang Wei hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Cao Ang did not speak, but stood on the city wall and silently looked at the army below the city.
Under the wall of Chen County, Lu Bu rode on his warhorse, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
At this time Dian Wei came out and said to Lu Bu.
"Brother, I'll kill him first, and then attack the city, so as to avoid accidentally hurting my brothers later!"
“No, we don’t know the details of Chen County’s garrison yet.
It is easy to suffer losses if you attack the city rashly, so let's wait until I have a clear investigation before attacking!" Lu Bu shook his head and said.
Dian Wei also knew this, so he nodded and agreed.
Cao Ang watched the conversation between Dian Wei and Lu Bu with a smile.
These two guys are both passionate people, and they will get together as long as there is a little benefit.
The defender of Chen County was immediately relieved when he heard Dian Wei's words.
Dian Wei and Lu Bu are both top generals, and their presence can intimidate the defenders of Chen County.
Cao Ang was not interested in watching these people perform monkey tricks, so he said to the soldiers on the tower: "Attack the city!"
The gate of Chen County was opened, and the soldiers who had been unable to contain themselves rushed in and launched a frenzied killing spree against Chen County.
The defenders of Chen County wanted to resist just now, but when they saw Cao Ang leading a large number of elite troops into the city, they no longer had the courage to resist and they dropped their weapons and ran away.
When the people in the city saw this situation, they ran in all directions of the city.
Cao Ang, along with his advisers Zhao Yun, marched into the streets of Chen County.
"My lord, this is Yuan Shao's capital. Should we send someone to inform Yuan Shao?" Xu Shu asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, but his subordinate Yuan Hao will not sit idly by. At this time, Yuan Hao will definitely lead his troops to Chen County. (End of this chapter)
