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

Chapter 937 Strengthening Vigilance
Guo Jia said, "My lord, Cao Cao is not as simple as he appears. His old nest, Jiangxia, must be well defended and guarded. It cannot be easily attacked.

Even if Wen Yuan could defeat Cao's army, he would probably suffer heavy losses.

If the lord wants to occupy Jiangxia County, he will have to mobilize at least millions of troops, which cannot be solved in a short time.

I think we should make some preparations."

Cao Ang thought what Guo Jia said made sense, so he asked, "Feng Xiao, in your opinion, how should we prepare?"

"My lord, although Cao Cao is powerful, we also have a trump card. As long as we reveal Cao Cao's trump card, we can achieve a greater victory." Guo Jia said confidently.

"What trump card are you talking about?" Cao Ang was a little confused.

"My lord, have you forgotten the Jinyiwei in our hands? We can collect all kinds of information through the Jinyiwei." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Cao Ang suddenly realized: "This is also possible. But the information source of Jinyiwei is unreliable.

After all, the members of Jinyiwei are a secret organization. If the secrets are leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"Don't worry about this, my lord. I have already formulated a complete plan. It will definitely not expose the Jinyiwei.

In addition, the Jinyiwei also collected some intelligence on Cao Cao. This is very valuable to the lord. "Guo Jia said.

"What information?" Cao Ang asked hurriedly.

"According to the intelligence of the Imperial Guard, Cao Cao has a wife in Beihai named Xu Shu, who is from Xuzhou.

This man was quite intelligent and helped Liu Tao capture Xuzhou.

After Liu Tao died, he fought with Liu Qi for Xuzhou. After Liu Qi died, he hid in Beihai and lay low. "Guo Jia said.

"Oh?" When Cao Ang heard the name Xu Shu, he felt a little familiar.

"Xu Shu is a fellow townsman of Xun Yu and once helped Xun Yu integrate the academic community in Yingchuan. Therefore, after Liu Qi ascended the throne, he became the head of the academic community in Yingchuan." Guo Jia continued.

"So it's him. No wonder he sounds familiar." Cao Ang finally remembered who Xu Shu was.

Cao Ang had a good impression of Xu Shu, especially since he had a daughter who married Lu Bu's nephew Lu Meng.

Cao Ang originally wanted to recruit Xu Shu, but he could not find an opportunity.

Now Guo Jia told him that Xu Shu was in Beihai.

"Fengxiao, do you have a way to make Xu Shu surrender?" Cao Ang asked.

"It's quite difficult." Guo Jia shook his head. Xu Shu was not only from Xuzhou, but also from Yingchuan. It was not easy to make Xu Shu betray the Yingchuan nobles.

"Fengxiao, you can give it a try." Cao Ang said.

"Yes, my lord!" Guo Jia said with a bow.

Cao Ang asked again: "Feng Xiao, who do you think this Pang Tong belongs to?"

"My lord, Pang Tong is Cao Cao's confidant. If you say he is not a spy sent by Cao Cao, I will never believe it." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"You are right. I also think that Pang Tong was not sent by Cao Cao." Cao Ang nodded.

"In that case, I have a plan. I wonder if my lord would like to hear it." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Tell me about it quickly." Cao Ang urged.

"My lord, do you know about Yuan Shu's situation?" Guo Jia asked back.

"Of course I know. Yuan Shu is very active in the eastern part of Jizhou." Cao Ang replied.

"The reason why Yuan Shu is active is because Yuan Shao is in charge of Yecheng. As long as Yuan Shao leaves Yecheng, Yuan Shu's ambition will inevitably erupt." Guo Jia said.

"Well, I know these things too." Cao Ang said again. "So Yuan Shu will definitely send someone to assassinate Yuan Shao, and this Pang Tong is one of the representatives." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Then what good ideas do you have?" Cao Ang asked.

"Pang Tong is a good martial artist, but he is arrogant and likes to show off. If he sees your power, he will definitely surrender to you and will not be rejected," said Guo Jia.

"Then who do you think I need to send to welcome Pang Tong?" Cao Ang was considering Guo Jia's plan.

"My lord, you can send General Zhao Yun to meet Pang Tong. General Zhao Yun is brave and good at fighting, and he is also known for his loyalty. Pang Tong will definitely not refuse." Guo Jia said.

"Okay!" Cao Ang thought about it and felt it was feasible.

"My lord, you are wise. I admire you." Guo Jia flattered Cao Ang.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Let's talk business!" Cao Ang scolded with a smile.

"Hehe!" Guo Jia laughed awkwardly.

"You just said that Pang Tong likes to show off. This is a good hobby." Cao Ang couldn't help laughing when he thought that one of his subordinates had such a weird hobby.

"My lord, don't you think this is more interesting?" Guo Jia retorted.

"Indeed, this hobby is quite interesting." Cao Ang smiled slightly.

Cao Ang turned his gaze to Pang Tong's letter. Inside the envelope was a letter from Pang Tong to Cao Cao persuading him to surrender, describing Cao Cao's current situation.

Judging from the description in the letter, Pang Tong was on Cao Cao's side and was very supportive of Cao Cao.

At least Cao Ang felt that Pang Tong was truly loyal, and even wrote this clearly in the letter of persuasion.

"Pang Tong, ah Pang Tong. I really want to meet you. I wonder what you look like." Cao Ang murmured to himself, feeling a little eager.

"My lord!" Guo Jia suddenly interrupted Cao Ang's wild thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Cao Ang was interrupted by Guo Jia and immediately became angry.

"My lord, should we take a look at this letter first?" Guo Jia asked cautiously.

"See, I also want to know what kind of person Pang Tong is." Cao Ang said.

Guo Jia immediately handed over Pang Tong's letter.

Cao Ang read it carefully, his expression changing unpredictably. After a long while, Cao Ang said, "Pang Tong is indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong lord."

"My lord is wise!" said Guo Jia.

"Pang Tong was able to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, so he must have some ability." Cao Ang said seriously: "What a pity, what a pity, he actually followed Yuan Shu."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Although Yuan Shu and my lord have a grudge, my lord cannot deny that Yuan Shu is powerful. Pang Tong joined Yuan Shu for a reason."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Cao Ang was very unhappy with Yuan Shu and couldn't help but want to know the reason why Pang Tong joined Yuan Shu.

"My lord, Pang Tong is from a noble family in Yingchuan, with a profound family background and is well versed in military tactics.

When he was in Xuzhou, he suggested that Liu Bei cross the Yellow River to the south and attack Yuzhou. Unfortunately, Liu Bei was too cowardly and eventually gave up Xuzhou.

When Pang Tong was in Xuzhou, he reminded Liu Bei several times. But Liu Bei didn't listen. "Guo Jia explained.

"He was a real man. What a pity." Cao Ang sighed.

Guo Jia's eyes lit up. Cao Ang was praising Pang Tong. Guo Jia said hastily, "My lord is wise. If Pang Tong knew that my lord valued him so much, he would be grateful to him."
