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

Cao Cao knew that Cao Ang was waiting for reinforcements from Liu Biao, but he had no choice now. After all, the situation in Cao Wei was not optimistic.

Cao Cao asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun looked at each other for a few seconds, then Xiahou Yuan stepped out and spoke.

"My lord, Cao Ang has been surrounding Beihai County, so he must be in need of food.

Now that Cao Ang has run out of food and grass, he must ask for help."

"Oh? Then how do you think I should deal with it?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, we can send troops to plunder Cao Ang's granary." Xiahou Yuan said excitedly.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was so angry that his nose almost became crooked. You are really vicious.

However, Cao Cao thought Xiahou Yuan's strategy was very good, and Cao Ang would definitely send people to Jizhou or Qingzhou to seek reinforcements.

"Hahaha, great, this is a great plan." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

"Xiahou Zhongye, you are right.

In this case, I will order you to personally plunder Cao Ang's granary. Remember, you can only succeed and not fail. "Cao Cao ordered.

"Yes!" Xiahou Yuan answered loudly.

Xiahou Yuan went down excitedly to prepare.

Cao Cao looked at the other counselors and asked, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"My lord, I am willing to follow General Xiahou to plunder Cao Ang's granary." Xiahou Dun said hurriedly.

Xiahou Dun wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious service so that Cao Cao would use him.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and then asked the others: "What about the others? Do you have any other suggestions?"

Cao Cao glanced at everyone present, hoping to find an effective solution.

In the end, none of the ministers present offered any solution.

These people usually only know how to play power games and have never done anything like this kind of head-on confrontation.

Cao Cao felt extremely disappointed. He originally thought that these ministers were all talented, but he did not expect that no one could give him any advice.

Cao Cao had no choice but to adjourn the court.

Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief as they could finally leave.

But Cao Hong stayed because he felt he needed to remind Cao Cao to prevent him from suffering any loss.

"Father, I think we should concentrate our forces now and try to annihilate Cao Ang's troops in Xuzhou.

Cao Ang only had about 40,000 troops in Xuzhou, so it could be easily captured.

As long as we can defeat Cao Ang's troops in Xuzhou, we can march straight in and threaten Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

If we can take Yangzhou in one fell swoop, we can unify the world." Cao Hong said excitedly.

After Cao Hong finished speaking, the other ministers also showed eager expressions.

Although Cao Ang had few troops in Xuzhou, each of them was an elite, especially the cavalry, which were simply a group of tigers and wolves.

If we could defeat them, the battle in Xuzhou would be much easier.

Cao Cao took a deep breath. He knew that this was the only way, otherwise he would not be able to take over Yanzhou.

"Okay! Send a message to Generals Xiahou Yuanrang and Cao Ren to mobilize all the troops to Xuzhou.

We must take Xuzhou in the shortest possible time." Cao Cao ordered.

"According to the order!"

There was chaos in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao decided to conquer Cao Ang with all his strength.

At the same time, Cao Ang received news from Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's reply was very simple, that is, Cao Ang did not need to worry about his safety, he still had the ability to protect himself. After reading it, Cao Ang felt relieved. His current military force was relatively weak, and Xuzhou was occupied by Cao Cao, so he had no troops to support Guan Yu.

So Cao Ang issued the order to retreat.

Chen Gong, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were all stunned when they heard Cao Ang's order.

"My lord, we are short of troops and the enemy is powerful. If we retreat now, we will probably be in trouble." Tian Feng said anxiously.

Cao Ang sneered: "Don't you see the situation clearly?

Yanzhou is in chaos now, Cao Cao will definitely send out all his forces, and there will be absolutely no danger for our army to retreat now."

After listening to Cao Ang's explanation, Chen Gong and Tian Feng suddenly felt that they had been a bit reckless.

"In that case, I will arrange it right away," said Tian Feng.

"Yes." Cao Ang nodded: "You should also be prepared. Cao Cao will definitely pursue us."

Chen Gong and Ju Shou also went down to make preparations.

Cao Ang continued to inspect the entire Beihai administrative center, and felt relieved when he found no loopholes.

On the other side, Lu Bu and Dian Wei have arrived at Beihai City.

When Lu Bu saw the tight guards on the city wall, he secretly cursed Cao Ang for being cunning.

"Fengxian, what should we do now?" Dian Wei asked Lu Bu.

"Go in." Lu Bu said lightly.

When Dian Wei heard that Lu Bu was going to break through the city by force, his face changed slightly.

"Fengxian, Liu Xuande has many experts under his command. If we rush into the city rashly, we may encounter obstacles."

"Hmph, it's just a mere Beihai City. I don't even take it seriously." Lu Bu said disdainfully.

"Then please lead the way, Fengxian." Dian Wei said hurriedly.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei walked into Beihai City. Dian Wei was surprised to find that the people in Beihai City seemed to be prepared and had hidden themselves away.

Dian Wei understood. It seemed that Cao Ang had already anticipated that Lu Bu would attack Beihai, so he took precautions early on.

Lu Bu brought Dian Wei to the prefect's mansion and found that Cao Ang was indeed already there.

"Lu Fengxian! Dian Huwei! Long time no see." Cao Ang stood up with a smile on his face.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Ang, who was wearing gorgeous clothes and was surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

In addition, the maids around Cao Ang were all beautiful, and feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred instantly emerged.

"You are quite cool and unrestrained." Lu Bu said sarcastically.

Cao Ang laughed and said, "No, no, I am not as good as Lu Fengxian.

This time, we were able to capture Yuan Shao alive, and Lü Fengxian made a great contribution."

"Humph, of course. If I hadn't arrived in time, Yuan Shao would have died long ago." Lu Bu said proudly.

"I am so grateful to Lu Fengxian for helping me this time.

I wonder what Lu Fengxian is here for this time?" Cao Ang said with a smile.

Lu Bu didn't like such hypocritical words, but for the sake of his brothers, he endured it.

"I came here today for Yuan Shao." Lu Bu said bluntly, "Yuan Shao is a traitor, and his crimes are unforgivable. I want to enforce justice on behalf of heaven and kill the traitor Yuan Shao."

Cao Ang frowned, thinking that Lu Bu must be out of his mind.

"Lu Fengxian, are you confused? You are a relative of the Han royal family, how can you help Yuan Shao rebel?" Cao Ang scolded angrily.

"A relative of the Han Dynasty? So what? A relative of the Han Dynasty must also be capable.

Yuan Shao does not have this strength, so he is not worthy of being called a relative of the Han Dynasty. "Lü Bu retorted. (End of this chapter)
