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

Cao Ang's appointment puzzled many ministers. After Cao Ang's order was issued, everyone knew the reason.

Cao Ang was relatively confident in the ministers of Jizhou, but it was hard to say about the aristocratic families in Jizhou, as they would definitely rebel.

Cao Ang had to drive them back to their hometowns to cultivate the land before they rebelled.

Too much food would be needed to relocate the people. It was impossible for Cao Ang to let all the people in Jizhou follow him to Youzhou. Otherwise, the long journey would cause the people to die of illness or starvation.

Therefore, Cao Ang left most of the population in Jizhou and only took a few people to Youzhou.

Cao Ang personally organized a large army to escort food and fodder, and sent people to notify the major families.

Cao Ang wanted to force these noble families to make a choice. If these noble families refused to migrate.

Then Cao Ang used tough measures to expel them from Jizhou.

If they had known better, Cao Ang would not have attacked them.

All the noble families in Jizhou, big and small, received Cao Ang's orders, and they were all unwilling to do so.

But the situation was stronger than the person. Cao Ang had already given the order, and the aristocratic families in Jizhou could not stop it.

If Cao Ang had directly ordered their massacre, they would have been in great trouble.

The noble families of Jizhou, both large and small, were trembling with fear.

The great families of Jizhou, including Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, gathered in the mansion in Yecheng.

This time Cao Ang issued an edict, and the interests of the Yuan family and Yuan Shang suffered great losses, and they both wanted to discuss countermeasures.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Yuan Shang said anxiously. He knew that the conflict between him and Cao Ang was deep, and Cao Ang would never let him go.

The only person Yuan Shang can rely on now is Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan is currently in seclusion practicing hard.

"Don't worry, my dear brother. Let's slowly think of a solution. Cao Ang is testing us now. He will attack us sooner or later." Yuan Tan comforted Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang sighed inwardly, wondering if he still had hope.

If not, my fate would be as miserable as that of other noble families.

Yuan Shang didn't want to become like that, but unfortunately he was now completely powerless to resist Cao Ang.

Yuan Tan saw Yuan Shang's frustrated expression and he knew that this was his brother's sorrow.

“Second brother, don’t think about Cao Ang now, your troubles are bigger than mine.

You know the situation on Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao would not let Cao Ang take Yuzhou so easily.

You two are competitors." Yuan Tan said coldly.

Yuan Shang's head was buzzing, and Yuan Tan's words broke his heart.

Yuan Shang didn't dare to say anything. Cao Cao was a ruthless character. If he knew that he had surrendered to Cao Ang, he would definitely deal with him and even cut off his legs.

Yuan Shao was very happy because Cao Ang had completely offended all the noble families in Jizhou this time.

"Lord Xuande, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Xie asked Liu Biao.

Liu Biao smiled and said, "My lord, although Liu Jingsheng is very powerful, he is only a young boy after all. How can he be a match for you ministers?
I believe they will agree to relocate the people soon."

Liu Xie nodded: "In that case, I will wait for good news from Lord Xuande."

"Thank you for your grace." Liu Biao said with tears of gratitude.

Liu Xie asked again: "When will Lord Xuande send out his troops?"

When Liu Biao heard Liu Xie's question, he cursed Liu Xie in his heart for being insidious and actually setting a trap for him in advance.

However, he still said respectfully: "My lord, I estimate that the troops will be dispatched within half a month at the latest."

Liu Xie nodded: "In that case, let's wait for good news."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he left the court. Yuan Shao looked at Liu Xie's departing back and sneered. Liu Xie was actually a waste and had no ability to govern the world.

Fortunately, Liu Xie was a puppet emperor. If he were replaced by a wise king, he would have been finished long ago.

Yuan Shao felt that he was much happier now.

The other ministers also left, and Yuan Shao returned to his residence. He had more important matters to deal with.

Yuan Shao came to his study and spoke to the counselor beside him.

"Fengxiao, you've arrived just in time. Write a letter to Meng De immediately. Tell him we have decided to relocate the people."

"My lord is wise. I will do it now." Guo Tu said hurriedly.

"Well, send it over as soon as possible." Yuan Shao ordered.

Guo Tu took the order and went down to prepare.

Yuan Shao sat on the chair, a hint of murderous intent on his face: "Cao Ang, your father Liu Yu stole my woman back then, and today it's my turn."

Yuan Shao had a vivid memory, as he and Liu Yu were good friends back then.

Liu Yu had many wives and concubines, but each of them was extremely beautiful.

Yuan Shao fell in love with Liu Yu's third concubine, Liu Yu's sister, Madam Liu.

Yuan Shao spent a huge amount of money to purchase Liu Yu's family's ancestral home and land.

Yuan Shao planned to marry Liu Yu's fourth wife, Liu Yu's sister, Madam Liu.

Unexpectedly, the old man Liu Yu suddenly appeared and ruined Yuan Shao's dream, and betrothed Mrs. Liu to Liu Yu.

From then on, the two began to fight to the death.

Yuan Shao never married or took a concubine in his life, only because Madam Liu was Liu Yu's sister and he did not want to hurt her, so he endured it.

Now that Madam Liu has fallen into Liu Xie's hands, Yuan Shao will not let it go.

"My lord, your arm!" After Guo Tu came in, he saw Yuan Shao's empty sleeves and cried out in surprise.

Yuan Shao touched his left arm. Both his left and right arms had been chopped off by Cao Ang.

"Mr. X is no longer young and is now suffering from a serious illness. He won't live long.

Fengxiao, please find a few medical experts to help me get better and don’t let my child be without a father.”

Yuan Shao insisted on staying alive. He knew that as long as he survived, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would be saved.

"I obey your command!" Guo Tu was filled with emotion as he had followed Yuan Shao for so many years.

Having witnessed Yuan Shao's glory and lows, and now facing life-threatening danger, it is inevitable that he feels a little melancholy.

"Fengxiao, you leave first." Yuan Shao waved Guo Tu away.

As for Cao Cao, he had already learned the news that Cao Ang was attacking Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

"Haha, it's really like searching for something without any effort! I originally thought Cao Ang would make a move on Xu Shu.

I didn't expect Cao Ang would choose to attack the Yuan family.

It seems that Cao Ang's hatred for Liu Yu is so deep that he even spared his own brothers."

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He hoped that Cao Ang and Yuan Shao would both suffer heavy losses in the fight so that he could reap the benefits.

The civil and military officials under Cao Cao were also very happy. Since Cao Ang and Yuan Shao had a falling out, they could take advantage of the situation to rob Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao immediately came to his senses and realized that he could not waste his opportunity and had to act quickly.

"Pass on my order and convene all officials to discuss the matter!" Cao Cao gave the order.

The officials under Cao Cao were all confused. Usually, Cao Cao was the most opposed to political discussions, so why was he so active this time? (End of this chapter)
