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

Guo Jia smiled and said, "As far as I know, Lu Bu's favorite is his wife, and his children are also very much loved by him.

As long as we can grasp this point, Lu Bu will not reject us."

"This is a good idea. In that case, let's do as you say." Cao Ang narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face.

On the other side, Lu Bu rushed to Xuzhou with his personal soldiers.

Although Lu Bu has now surrendered to Cao Cao, he has not completely lost his loyalty. He plans to go and talk to Xiahou Yuan.

"Meng De, Brother Benchu, please don't blame me for betraying you." Lu Bu prayed secretly in his heart.

"Report, my lord, there is news from Xuzhou that Lü Bu led his troops to capture Donglai County and Qingzhou.

At the same time, they have also occupied Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and their power is even greater than that of the lord." At this time, a spy came to report.

Lu Bu frowned. The reason why he was able to win was, on the one hand, because he had elite troops under his command, and on the other hand, because he had plenty of food and grass.

Now that the food is gone, Lu Bu is left alone.

The troops of Yanzhou and Yuzhou were much smaller than Lu Bu's, even though Lu Bu had sophisticated weapons and equipment.

It is almost impossible to recover Yanzhou and Yuzhou in a short period of time.

"Hmph, Lu Bu, do you really think that I, Cao Mengde, have no one under my command?" Cao Cao snorted angrily.

Cao Ang's troops had already pointed their spearhead towards Yanzhou, and Cao Cao felt somewhat panicked.

Cao Ang's army was wreaking havoc in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao was worried that Cao Ang's army would suddenly move south. If so, Yanzhou would be in danger.

Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter to Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bu could help him stop Cao Ang's troops.

Lu Bu looked at the letter from Cao Cao in his hand and said bitterly, "My lord, our relationship as king and subject ends here. Please forgive me."

Lu Bu packed his luggage and prepared to return to Qingzhou.

"My lord, where are you going?" Lu Bu's personal soldiers shouted in surprise.

Lu Bu said, "I want to return to Qingzhou and continue to protect Yuan Shang."

"My lord, you absolutely cannot do that." Lu Bu's personal soldiers tried to dissuade him, saying, "If you go back like this, I'm afraid you will be punished by my lord."

"It's okay. I've thought it through." Lu Bu said calmly, "You all go back and tell the lord that I will visit Yecheng one day."

Lu Bu's personal soldiers were still unwilling to leave, so Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "You all must obey my orders, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

As Lu Bu's deputy general, Lu Bu still has dignity.

Lu Bu's personal soldiers had no choice but to retreat obediently.

"My lord, we will definitely seek justice for you." Lu Bu's personal soldiers said firmly in their hearts.

Lu Bu quietly left with his three thousand remaining troops and headed towards Jizhou.

On the other side, Cao Ang also received news of the battle in Yanzhou.

Lu Bu's name appeared in Cao Ang's mind.

"It turned out to be Lu Bu!" Cao Ang looked surprised.

Cao Ang remembered that in history, Lu Bu was defeated by Sun Ce in Yanzhou and then defected to Yuan Shu. Now his own men had defeated him.

"That's good too. Leave Yanzhou to me for now." Cao Ang murmured to himself.

In Cao Ang's eyes, Yanzhou was like a piece of fat meat. He wanted to eat it immediately, but Yanzhou was too close to Xuzhou.

With Sun Ce in Xuzhou, Cao Ang did not dare to attack rashly and could only wait for Sun Ce to withdraw.

"My Lord, Lü Bu has led his troops to leave Yanzhou." Jia Xu said respectfully. Cao Ang nodded: "Well, I understand Yuan Hao, do you think Lü Bu is confident that he can stop Sun Ce's attack?"

“My lord, Lu Bu has a cavalry unit that is comparable to the Jiangdong navy.

Moreover, the soldiers under Lu Bu were brave and good at fighting, and should not be underestimated. If it were someone else, they would probably not be Lu Bu's opponent.

But Lu Bu is a private soldier of the Yuan family and is loyal to the Yuan family, which is also a disadvantage. "Jia Xu analyzed.

"Oh? Then who do you think will win?" Cao Ang asked with interest.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Of course it's Cao Cao. Cao Cao has the title of Grand Marshal of the Army in the North, and Yanzhou and Yuzhou are both under Cao Cao's jurisdiction. Cao Cao has Cao Cao's advantages."

"But don't worry, my lord. There is no need to worry about Cao Cao. Lu Bu may lose, but Cao Cao will definitely pay a heavy price." Jia Xu changed his tone.

"Why?" Cao Ang asked puzzledly.

Jia Xu explained, "My lord, have you forgotten Mr. Chen Gong's plan? The alliance between Lü Bu and Chen Gong has been broken. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Cao Cao can sit back and enjoy the benefits."

Cao Ang suddenly realized that Chen Gong's plan was to lure Sun Ce to send troops and then take the opportunity to annihilate him.

Both Lu Bu and Chen Gong are quite powerful. If a fight breaks out between them, Chen Gong will not be polite.

"Okay, that's good. No matter how powerful Cao Mengde is, he can't resist Chen Gong's vicious scheme." Cao Ang said with relief.

Jia Xu reminded: "However, Chen Gong's plan will take some time. During this time, my lord must be careful to defend himself to avoid being attacked."

"Wenhe, I understand." Cao Ang nodded.

"I'm leaving now." Jia Xu bowed and left.

Chen Gong's plan not only takes time, but Chen Gong also needs to lay the groundwork in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

When Cao Cao captured Yanzhou, Chen Gong planned to send troops to seize Yanzhou and take it into his possession.

Chen Gong's plan was extremely cruel. Even if Cao Cao knew about it, he could do nothing about it.

Cao Ang was in a very happy mood.

"My lord, you look so happy. Is there something good happening?" Guo Jia asked.

Cao Ang said, "I got news from Cao Cao that Lü Bu was actually scared and didn't dare to fight Sun Ce, but returned directly to Qingzhou. Cao Cao asked me to be careful."

"Lu Bu is indeed a brave general, but he is too afraid of death and cannot be trained." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.

"Zhicai, do you think someone like Lu Bu is worthy of our attention?" Cao Ang asked back.

"My lord, Lu Bu is indeed a fierce general, but he is impulsive and reckless, so he is unlikely to achieve great things.

I think this person is only suitable for defending the country and maintaining peace. "Xi Zhicai replied.

"What does Wenhe mean?" Cao Ang asked.

Xi Zhicai said: "I think we should send Generals Gao Shun and Dian Wei to destroy Lu Bu, preferably by killing him or capturing him.

Lu Bu is an important general under Yuan Shao. If we capture Lu Bu, we can gain great military merit and rewards, and at the same time weaken Yuan Shao's strength. The lord can take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

After hearing Xi Zhicai's suggestion, Cao Ang laughed and said, "You are worthy of being my military advisor. This is a very good idea."

Lu Bu had good abilities, but unfortunately he did not know how to judge the situation. Cao Ang felt that such a person could not be used by him, so he should be eliminated.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia blushed slightly, they both knew Cao Ang's character.

Cao Ang gave the order, and after receiving it, Generals Gao Shun and Dian Wei began to organize their troops and march towards Yanzhou.
