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

Lu Bu said with a sad face: "My Lord, please understand me. How could I do such a foolish thing?"

"Haha, you have a very smart head, but you may not listen to what others say. Who knows if you will be lazy?" Cao Ang said sarcastically.

"My lord, you are innocent. I would never dare to deceive you." Lu Bu said while kneeling on the ground.

Cao Ang said unhappily: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, take your people and attack Shouchun."

"Yes!" Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly accepted the order.

Lu Bu led his troops and rushed towards Shouchun.

"Alas, Lu Bu, oh Lu Bu. You are so unlucky. Why did you have to provoke the lord? It's too late for you to regret now." Ju Su sighed.

Zhang Liao and Gao Lan have both been captured, now only Shouchun is left.

"Pass the order down, speed up and make sure to capture Shouchun before dark!" Cao Cao shouted.

The army set out again.

This time, Cao Cao did not take the mountain road because the road was rugged and could easily cause casualties.

Moreover, there are many wild beasts in the mountains. If you get trapped in them, you will probably suffer heavy losses.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao did not want to take any risks.

Both the armies of Cao Cao and Lu Bu advanced towards Shouchun at a galloping speed, and all the villages and towns they encountered along the way were cleared out.

Such actions attracted the attention of all ethnic groups in Xudu.

Yuan Shu and Liu Xie sat in the palace, looking at each other.

"My lord, what should we do?" Yuan Shu asked.

Liu Xie gnashed his teeth and said bitterly: "Cao Cao is really going too far."

"My lord, should we contact Lu Bu and ask him to help us resist Cao Cao?" Yuan Shu suggested.

Liu Xie frowned, "No, if I send an envoy to Lü Bu, wouldn't that mean I'm admitting I'm a tyrant? And Lü Bu is a relative of the Han dynasty, so why would I ask him to help me?"

Liu Xie was the king of a country, so it was impossible for him to send an envoy to other countries casually. Otherwise, wouldn't he be admitting that he was a tyrant?
Yuan Shu laughed and said, "I was too quick to speak and forgot my lord's dignity. So I think we should warn Dong Zhuo and ask him to help us resist Cao Cao."

Liu Xie shook his head: "Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Han Dynasty has a new emperor.

Can he still help us?"

"My lord, what you said makes sense." Yuan Shu nodded, but he spoke quickly.

"But if we don't issue a warning, Cao Cao will definitely attack us, and then we will be in danger."

"Humph, it won't be that easy for Cao Cao to deal with us. Even if I can't subdue Dong Zhuo, can't I rely on the power of the court?"

Liu Xie said disdainfully: "And I believe the court will protect us, so I am not worried."

Seeing this, Yuan Shu had no choice but to say, "Then I will go and prepare first and release the news as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Liu Xie nodded slightly, signaling Yuan Shu to leave.

After Yuan Shu left, Liu Xie's expression darkened: "Cao Ang! You have made me so miserable. Today I will drag Cao Mengde to be buried with you!"

When Cao Ang learned that Liu Xie and Yuan Shu had escaped, he cursed them in his heart, calling them idiots.

"My lord, Yuan Shao has already sent out troops. How should our army respond now?" Jia Xu asked.

Cao Ang said calmly: "Don't worry about it. Let them make trouble. We will deal with them after some time has passed."

Jia Xu felt helpless, as Cao Ang had indeed given up on Liu Xie.

"My lord is wise." Jia Xu complimented.

"Prime Minister, we have enough food and grass now, why not pursue them while we are victorious?" Li Ru suggested. Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Although we are strong, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are also elite. If we attack rashly, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

"My lord is wise." Jia Xu echoed.

Li Ru was a little depressed. It was not that he wanted to persuade Cao Ang, but that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both elite troops.

If you really try your best, even if you can win, your losses will be even greater.

Jia Xu and Li Ru had completely different ideas. Jia Xu hoped that Cao Ang could lead the army to war.

Eliminate the forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, or at least inflict severe damage on them.

As for the loss, Jia Xu didn't care.

As long as it could weaken Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Jia Xu felt it was worth it.

Unfortunately, Cao Ang was not a reckless person. He was well aware of the dangers of war.

Cao Ang continued, "Prime Minister and Wen He, you two have worked hard. From now on, you will be in charge of commanding the army. I need to rest and recuperate."

"I obey your order." Jia Xu and Li Ru bowed in agreement.

Jia Xu and Li Ru left the palace and went to the big tent to discuss the affairs of the Grand Council.

On the other side, Yuan Shu finally arrived in Shouchun with the remaining troops.

Yuan Shu immediately ordered his army to occupy Shouchun, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to untie Lu Bu and others, disarm them, and give up resistance.

After Lu Bu and others were released, they all felt a sense of emotion. They thought they would die here, but they didn't expect Yuan Shu to suddenly stop his actions.

Lu Bu came to the city wall and looked at the enemy outside the city with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Marquis Lü Wen, long time no see." Cao Cao rode his horse and stood in front of the army.

"Sikong Cao, it's been many years since we last met." Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao coldly.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Marquis Lü Wen, you led 30,000 cavalrymen to besiege Xuchang and forced me to surrender. I will never forget this hatred."

"Sikong Cao, what happened back then was not commanded by me. It was just a certain unworthy disciple who acted on his own." Lu Bu said.

When Lu Bu was in Yanzhou, he had several brave generals under his command, each of whom was brave and good at fighting.

But one of the generals was Lu Bu's disciple, named Xu Shu, who had once been in Yanzhou.

Relying on Lu Bu's favor for him, he secretly organized 3,000 people, besieged Xuchang, and forced Cao Cao to surrender.

After Lu Bu found out, he scolded Xu Shu severely and ordered him not to do such a thing again, otherwise he would be expelled from the sect.

Lu Bu's actions caused Xu Shu to bear a grudge, so he planned to take revenge on Cao Cao.

As a result, Cao Cao was lucky and escaped the disaster, but the brothers Lu Bu and Lu Xiang were captured by Yuan Shao.

"Marquis Lu Wen, you are no longer Lu Bu now. You'd better surrender obediently to avoid physical pain." Cao Cao said.

"Haha, surrender?" Lu Bu said arrogantly, "I will never surrender in my life. Kill me if you dare!"

Cao Cao said coldly: "In that case, I will fulfill your wish!"

As he said this, Cao Cao picked up the sword in his hand and stabbed at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu roared and blocked Cao Cao's attack.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Although Lü Bu was injured, his fighting power was still very strong, and he even suppressed Cao Cao. (End of this chapter)
