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

Yuan Shu laughed loudly: "Even Cao Cao doesn't dare to challenge me in a duel, no wonder you dare to be a coward.

You want to kill me? That's just wishful thinking! Kill me now!"

"Archers, get ready, shoot the enemy!" Cao Ang ordered.

Yuan Shu's soldiers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Yuan Shu.

"Shoot!" Cao Ang ordered.

"Swish, swish, swish" countless sharp arrows flew out and instantly covered Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Although Yuan Shu's soldiers had shields and swords to protect themselves, they were outnumbered by Liu's army and many of them fell.

Cao Ang was delighted when he saw this and ordered, "Crossbowmen, move forward!"

The crossbowmen quickly advanced and launched an attack on Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Although Yuan Shu's soldiers were brave, they lacked long-range attack capabilities, and many of them fell after one round of volleys.

"Assholes!" Yuan Shu cursed, drew his sword from his waist, and shouted: "My men, follow me, kill them and avenge our brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu's soldiers became more motivated and rose up to resist.

Cao Ang sneered, "Crossbowmen, release your arrows!"

The archers shot arrows one after another, and Yuan Shu's soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

Yuan Shu's soldiers became more and more panicked. They no longer cared about Yuan Shu's comfort.

Yuan Shu shouted, "Run!"

Yuan Shu fled first, and his soldiers also fled in all directions.

Cao Ang sent his infantry to pursue.

"Don't try to run away, Yuan Shu! Today is the day you will die!" Cao Ang rode over on his horse.

Cao Ang was relieved when he saw Yuan Shu escape. This was the situation he feared the most. If Yuan Shu didn't escape, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him. After all, Yuan Shu still had 20,000 elite troops.

Now that Yuan Shu has fled, there are only less than 5,000 defeated soldiers left, so the threat to Cao Ang is not that great.

"Kill!" Cao Ang shouted and rushed towards Yuan Shu with his cavalry.

"Quickly stop Cao Ang!" Yuan Shu was shocked when he saw Cao Ang leading his troops to chase him. The soldiers under his command could not stop Cao Ang's pace at all.

Yuan Shu's soldiers kept rushing towards Cao Ang, trying to kill him with human wave tactics.

However, Cao Ang, holding the Liquan Divine Spear, charged into the group of soldiers like a tiger into a flock of sheep, sweeping through them invincible. All Yuan Shu's soldiers who approached him fell in a pool of blood.

Cao Ang charged all the way, cutting his way through a bloody path and getting behind Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was horrified and quickly turned his head to see Cao Ang's spear stabbing towards him.

Yuan Shu quickly drew his sword and chopped at the spear.

With a clang, the spear broke and Yuan Shu's sword also fell off.

Cao Ang thrust his spear forward again, and Yuan Shu quickly blocked it with his arms.

puff!

The spear pierced Yuan Shu's arm.

"Ah! It hurts so much!" Yuan Shu cried out in pain.

"Get off your horse and surrender," Cao Ang shouted.

Yuan Shu was not willing to surrender, and after struggling for a few times he fell to the ground.

Cao Ang frowned, he felt that Yuan Shu seemed to be dead. But he also felt that Yuan Shu was not completely dead.

"My Lord! My Lord!" The soldiers beside Yuan Shu hurriedly helped Yuan Shu up, and then called out to him anxiously. Yuan Shu slowly opened his eyes: "I... can't seem to die."

"My lord, you are awake!" The soldiers around were overjoyed, and then angrily yelled at Cao Ang, "You little bastard Cao Ang, you actually plotted against my lord."

Cao Ang shook his head slightly. He clearly didn't run into Yuan Shu just now, so how could it be considered that he was the one plotting against Yuan Shu?
Yuan Shu struggled to get up and said, "My dear boy Cao Ang, my nephew Benchu ​​is definitely not an evil person. Why did you want to harm my nephew Benchu?"

"Hmph!" Cao Ang snorted coldly. He was too lazy to explain.

"Order the entire army to wipe out Yuan Shu's troops and don't leave anyone behind!" Cao Ang ordered.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Cao Ang was unwilling to speak, Yuan Shu guessed that Cao Ang was afraid to admit it.

"Come here, tie up this beast and send him to Yecheng to present him to the lord, and tell the lord that this beast is plotting rebellion." Yuan Shu ordered his soldiers.

"I obey your command." After receiving the order, the soldier found a rope to tie up Yuan Shu and took him towards Yecheng.

"My dear Cao Ang, I will remember what happened to our nephew Benchu." The tied-up Yuan Shu said viciously.

"You have no chance!" Cao Ang sneered.

Cao Ang knew that once Yuan Shu surrendered to Cao Cao, he would definitely do something strange with his cunning and treacherous nature. So he took advantage of Yuan Shu's serious illness to kill him. As for future troubles, he would think it over after Yuan Shu surrendered to Cao Cao.

After Yuan Shu was dragged away, Cao Ang asked Zhang Liao beside him: "Wenyuan, who do you think will win or lose in this battle?"

"My lord, I think Yuan Shao is better." Zhang Liao said respectfully, "Yuan Shu's army is in low morale, and the soldiers are fighting on their own. They have completely lost their formation. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. Moreover, Yuan Shao's army is well-trained and has good coordination during combat. It will be difficult for Yuan Shu's troops to resist."

"I also know that Yuan Shao is stronger. But Yuan Shu is our biggest threat and we cannot let him live. No matter what, we must eradicate this scourge." Cao Ang said.

"My Lord, you are wise!" Zhang Liao exclaimed. He had wanted to kill Yuan Shu for a long time, but due to the situation, he had not done it. Now Cao Ang wanted to kill Yuan Shu, and he agreed with both hands.

Afterwards, Cao Ang personally supervised the battle.

After a fierce battle, Yuan Shu's troops lost two-thirds of their forces.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Gather the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, and prepare to retreat."

Liu's soldiers cheered, Yuan Shu was defeated, and they could return to their homeland.

It was all over, and Cao Ang returned to Yecheng with Zhang Liao.

When Cao Ang returned to Yecheng, he immediately summoned the princes to discuss the matter.

All the princes came to the palace. When they heard the news that Cao Ang had defeated Yuan Shu, their faces varied. Some were shocked, some were excited, and some were nervous.

"I have been fighting with Yuan Shu for several months, and Yuan Shu has repeatedly challenged my bottom line. I have decided to send troops to attack and destroy Jizhou. What do you think?" Cao Ang briefly recounted the process of his battle with Yuan Shu, and then asked the other princes for their opinions.

"Uncle Liu is wise, we will certainly give him all possible assistance!" The princes expressed their support.

Liu Xie watched from the side, feeling an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

His rights as the crown prince have been stripped away and he can only sit here and listen to others talk.

Liu Xie felt a little regretful, if he had not insisted on his own way back then.

He rejected his father's proposal, which led to Cao Ang ascending the throne and becoming emperor. Now he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie's eyes kept changing and his heart was filled with resentment.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's go to war!" Cao Ang made the decision.

"We obey your order!" the princes knelt down and said.

Cao Ang stood up and said loudly: "Pass my order, immediately organize the troops and attack Jizhou!"

"Yes!" Many princes accepted the order and left the palace. (End of this chapter)
