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

Guo Tu said, "My lord, I think our first priority now is to pacify Qingzhou and bring it under your rule."

"That's exactly what I meant." Cao Ang said, "But Zhang Fei is guarding Qingzhou. It won't be easy to take Qingzhou."

Guo Tu said: "My lord is wise and brave, a mere Zhang Fei is not worth mentioning."

Cao Ang's eyes lit up and he asked, "My dear, do you have a plan?"

Guo Tu said: "My lord, Zhang Fei is brave, but he is a military commander. In terms of military strategy, he is far inferior to us civil officials."

Cao Ang was amused by Guo Tu's words. Guo Tu's words sounded strange.

Cao Ang looked at Xun Yu, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Jia Xu.

"My lord, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Qingzhou." Xun Yu stood up and said.

Tian Feng also said: "My lord, I am willing to share your worries and troubles."

Cao Ang laughed loudly: "You two should stop competing with me for credit. Wenruo, Fengxiao, your plan is better than the three of you."

Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou were immediately ashamed. None of them were famous counselors, and Cao Ang's praise of them made them feel overwhelmed.

"My lord, I have a plan that can make Qingzhou surrender!" Ju Su suddenly said.

Cao Ang looked at Ju Su in surprise and asked, "Feng Xiao, tell me what you think."

Ju Su said respectfully: "My Lord, although Qingzhou is rich, it has too few soldiers and horses. If you launch an expedition, Qingzhou will surely fail or even be completely destroyed.

I believe that if we attack aggressively, Qingzhou will be defeated and will have no choice but to surrender."

Guo Tu, Xun Yu and Tian Feng suddenly realized what Ju Su was talking about.

Cao Ang thought carefully about what Ju Shou said, and he thought what Ju Shou said made sense.

These are troubled times, and in the end, strength will have to prevail.

The troops in Qingzhou were too few, and Cao Ang had generals such as Lu Bu, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun under his command.

Cao Ang believed that if they joined forces, they could easily defeat the troops of Qingzhou.

"Ju Su, what you said makes sense. The troops of Qingzhou are vulnerable. I have decided to dispatch troops immediately to attack Qingzhou." Cao Ang said decisively.

Ju Su's face showed joy, and his previous plan was successful.

"My lord, please forgive me for my rudeness. I wonder who you are going to send to mobilize the troops this time?" Ju Su asked.

Ju Su was very dissatisfied with Cao Ang's arrangement. According to the rules, it was not a big deal to send troops to Qingzhou.

Zhuge Liang must come forward in person, but now Cao Ang actually sent other people to send troops.

"I plan to send Yuanzhi to send troops. What do you think?" Cao Ang said with a smile.

"I second the motion!" Xun Yu and Tian Feng certainly expressed their support.

Ju Su's face became extremely gloomy. He wanted to stop it, but unfortunately there was no way to do it.

"Mr. Ju, you seem to have some opinions!" Cao Ang stared at Ju Su and asked.

"I have no objection!" Ju Shou gritted his teeth and agreed. Cao Ang would never let Zhuge Liang send troops. Ju Shou waited for Cao Ang's order.

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Then this matter is decided."

Ju Shou walked out of the imperial study in depression. He had already predicted Ju Shou's future.

Ju Shou's plan succeeded, but his career was ruined. Cao Ang would definitely not keep a person who posed a threat to him, even if Ju Shou was his right-hand man.

After Ju Su left the palace, he hurried to Chen Gong's residence.

When Ju Shou arrived outside Chen Gong's yard, he saw Chen Gong basking in the sun outside the door.

"Mr. Ju, please come in quickly." Chen Gong called to Ju Shou.

"Gongtai, you are still so leisurely." Ju Su said sourly.

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, my life will end sooner or later. Rather than living in disgrace, I might as well enjoy it now."

Ju Shou was stunned for a moment, then said, "Gongtai, what's wrong with you? Are you upset?"

"Mr. Ju, have you forgotten that the lord has appointed you as military advisor? Your official position is higher than mine, so you can sit in my chair." Chen Gong gave the chair to Ju Su.

"How can this be? How can I be your chair?" Ju Su quickly refused.

Chen Gong persuaded him, "Mr. Ju, please don't refuse. You and I are colleagues, and you have also contributed to the rescue. How can the lord not reward you? Sit down quickly, don't keep me waiting."

"Oh, never mind!" Ju Su could only accept it helplessly.

Ju Su sat down and looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said, "Are you here to tell the lord today whether your proposal was successful?"

Ju Shou sighed: "Gongtai, you guessed it all."

"Mr. Ju, we have worked together for so many years. I know your character well. If your suggestion is successful this time, you will definitely come to me." Chen Gong said.

"Okay. Then I will tell you the truth. My lord is preparing to mobilize troops to attack Qingzhou." Ju Su directly stated Cao Ang's intention.

"Oh, do you have any suggestions?" Chen Gong asked.

Ju Shou shook his head and said, "No. I can only remind you to be careful of Cao Cao."

"I will report this matter to my lord, and we can talk about it later. You haven't eaten yet.

Come on, come to my house, I'll have someone prepare some delicious food so we can chat. " Chen Gong invited Ju Shou to his house.

Ju Shou readily agreed and followed Chen Gong into the house.

In Cao Ang's study, Ju Su reported to Cao Ang what he had just said.

After listening to this, Cao Ang touched his head and said, "It seems that my subordinates are really powerful.

Not only is he a master of martial arts, but he is also a master of wisdom. It seems that I should reorganize the government."

Ju Su secretly cursed Cao Ang as a traitor who still did not forget his status as emperor at this time.

"Mr. Ju, what do you think I should do?" Cao Ang changed the subject.

Ju Su hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, the treasury is empty now, and rumors of corruption and bribery are spreading among the people.

I think the Lord should immediately order the restoration of salaries and stabilize the government."

"Restore salary? This may be a bit difficult." Cao Ang found it very tricky.

Cao Ang's salary was originally very low. According to the amount of salary distributed, basically all of it was taken away by Liu Xie, so Cao Ang's own salary was very low.

"My lord, salary is secondary. The most important thing is to stabilize the government." Ju Su said.

"Oh, what do you have in mind?" Cao Ang became interested. He really had no experience in governing a country, so he could only rely on Ju Su to help him.

"My lord, don't you think that things have been going too smoothly for the court recently?" Ju Su asked.

Cao Ang's eyes narrowed; he sensed danger from Ju Su's words.

Cao Ang was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you mean, sir?"

"I think the Lord should be more vigilant." Ju Su said seriously: "The Lord's brother Liu Qi is ready to make a move."

"Humph, he dares?" Cao Ang said coldly.

Liu Qi was a waste, but he was Cao Ang's cousin, and Cao Ang would never allow anyone to harm him.

"My lord, I also hope that Liu Qi will not have such courage.

But has the lord forgotten that Liu Cong is from Jingzhou and is loyal to the lord? But Liu Mao, the King of Jiangxia, has a different mind. "Ju Su reminded Cao Ang.

"What you said makes sense, sir. But my troops are scattered everywhere and cannot be summoned back in a short time.

If there is any loss in Qingzhou, I will be heartbroken." Cao Ang hesitated, for he was most worried about the loss of his own troops.

Ju Su smiled and said, "My lord, I did not ask you to mobilize all the troops back."

"What should we do then?" Cao Ang asked doubtfully.

"My Lord, if we send spies to investigate, I believe we will get useful information." Ju Su said. (End of this chapter)
