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

This situation was anticipated by Cao Ang, and he did not stop it because his goal had been achieved.

When Yuan Tan saw what Cao Ang did, he secretly cursed Cao Ang for being despicable and shameless for using such despicable means.

However, Yuan Tan still ordered Wen Chou and Ju Shou to lead a part of the cavalry to Yecheng to reinforce Yecheng and tell Liu Bei about Cao Ang's conspiracy.

After listening to Yuan Tan's report, Liu Bei frowned and asked, "Zhongzhi, you said Liu Xuande wanted to seize Youzhou? How did he know the location of Yecheng?"

Yuan Tan replied: "I sent out scouts and found that Cao Ang's troops were attacking Yecheng."

"How is this possible? The terrain of Yecheng is complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could Cao Ang find this place?" Liu Bei said in disbelief.

"My Lord, have you forgotten? Yecheng was once massacred by the Han royal family, and the houses inside were severely damaged.

Cao Ang's troops may be able to find this place through the ruins and take the opportunity to attack Yecheng." Ju Su reminded.

Liu Bei thought about it and agreed that the environment around Yecheng was indeed poor, and Cao Ang had reason to choose to attack here.

"In that case, we must rush to Yecheng as soon as possible," said Liu Bei.

Ju Su said: "My lord, now we should gather all our forces to fight against Cao Ang together.

Only by repelling Cao Ang can we free up our hands to deal with Cao Cao, or even destroy him."

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "You are right. But we don't have enough soldiers."

Ju Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. We can mobilize troops from Jizhou."

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally understood Ju Su's intention.

Ju Su continued: "We can contact the troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and then have them move south to attack Cao Ang with us."

Liu Bei laughed out loud, Ju Shou was really a worm in his stomach.

Afterwards, Liu Bei arranged for people to contact Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

What Liu Bei didn't know was that Ju Su's confidant Tian Feng was in Yanzhou, and Tian Feng had already told Guo Tu about Liu Bei's idea and asked Guo Tu to report to Chen Gong immediately.

When Chen Gong heard the news, he immediately wrote a memorial and sent someone to Luoyang to give it to Xun Chen.

After Xun Chen received Chen Gong's memorial, he cursed in his heart: Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are such a fool. You actually thought of using the aristocratic families to deal with your lord. It's simply a foolish dream.

When Xun Chen saw Liu Bei's memorial, he was secretly delighted. He knew that if this matter succeeded, it would be very beneficial to him.

However, Xun Chen was not reckless. He carefully studied Yuan Shao's military deployment and sneered in his heart. Yuan Shao's troops were no match for Cao Ang.

Xun Chen immediately told Cao Ang about this matter. When Cao Ang learned of Yuan Shao's move, he immediately ordered the annihilation of Yuan Shao's troops.

Cao Ang had a strong army, while Yuan Shao had only a few thousand men.

Cao Ang easily defeated Yuan Shao's troops and captured Yuan Shao.

When the news of Yuan Shao's killing reached Jizhou, the morale of Jizhou instantly plummeted. They were all stunned by Cao Ang's cruelty.

When Yuan Tan heard the news, he almost vomited blood and died.

Yuan Shao is dead! Yuan Tan was not only sad, but also afraid that Cao Ang would take action against the Yuan family.

Yuan Tan once again sent envoys to Cao Ang, expressing his willingness to submit to Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang saw Yuan Tan's envoy, he smiled strangely.

The envoy was so frightened that he was shaking all over. He thought Cao Ang must want to eat people.

The envoy said tremblingly: "Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, please spare my life."

Cao Ang said coldly: "Yuan Benchu ​​is dead, why are you still alive? Come, drag him out and behead him."

The envoy sent by Yuan Tan was dumbfounded. He was about to kneel down and beg for mercy when he was dragged away and beheaded. Yuan Tan was completely panicked. He did not expect Cao Ang to kill him without hesitation. Was Cao Ang crazy?
Yuan Tan immediately wrote a personal letter and sent it to Xu Shu, hoping that Xu Shu could stop Cao Ang.

Xu Shu was very happy after receiving Yuan Tan's letter.

"Yuan Shao is finally dead. The lord is truly wise and brave. I am willing to lead 5,000 soldiers to Yecheng for rescue." Xu Shu was eager to achieve great things.

Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and others all admired Cao Ang's strength.

Cao Ang shook his head and rejected Xu Shu's request.

"Feng Xiao has sent the Jinyiwei to investigate Yuan Shao's military deployment. If our army attacks rashly, we will inevitably be in danger." Cao Ang explained.

Xu Shu touched his beard awkwardly. He was still too young and did not consider things comprehensively. However, he said to Cao Ang, "My lord is right. Please give me some advice."

"Yuan Shao's current deployment of troops is very strange. He actually did not defend Yecheng.

Instead, they are approaching Gaomi County in the northeast, and seem to want to attack Gaomi County." Cao Ang said doubtfully.

"What? Yuan Shao is going to attack Gaomi County?" Everyone was shocked. Everyone knew that Gaomi County was not far from Yecheng.

If Yuan Shao captured Gaomi County, Jizhou would be in danger.

Cao Ang said solemnly: "That's right, Yuan Shao wants to attack Yecheng from the west.

This is Yuan Shao's strategy. We have to guard against it, otherwise our losses will be heavy."

"My lord, I am willing to lead 10,000 soldiers to provide assistance." Dian Wei stepped forward and asked for a fight.

Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "No. Yuan Shao must have made perfect preparations to make such a decision this time. Your troops are too few, so you can't attack rashly."

"My lord, what should we do?" Zhang Fei asked.

Cao Ang smiled and said, “Since Yuan Shao wants to fight, I will play with him.

Mengqi, you must lead your troops to Hanoi immediately and make sure to capture Hanoi."

"I obey your command!" Zhang Fei said excitedly. As long as he took Henei, he could threaten Jizhou.

"Wenyuan, Yide, you two will each lead 10,000 soldiers and rush to Mount Tai." Cao Ang continued.

"As you command." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also took the order and left.

"Wenruo, you must immediately organize people to draw the terrain of Gaomi County. I want a detailed topographic map." Cao Ang ordered.

"Yes!" Ju Su started to get busy.

Cao Ang said to Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, "Yun Chang, Gong Tai, my two beloved ministers, please come with me to the battle."

"We obey your command." Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong said hurriedly and respectfully.

Cao Ang set out with generals including Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, and their target was Yuan Shao.

This time, Yuan Shao mobilized all his forces to deal with Cao Ang.

Although Yuan Shu, as the governor of Jizhou, was somewhat reluctant, he finally agreed.

After all, Cao Ang occupied the entire Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu did not dare to risk the world's disobedience, so he could only follow Yuan Shao to meet the enemy.

Cao Ang had a strong military force, but they didn't know that Yuan Shao had made complete preparations.

This time, Yuan Shao spent a huge price to recruit an elite cavalry team, the Wolf Fang Cavalry.

This is the only type of soldier Yuan Shao can use, and also the strongest cavalry he has. (End of this chapter)
