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

Cao Ang looked at the invitation for a long time before he said, "Since Cao Cao has sent it, I will go there."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Imperial Guards respectfully left the imperial study.

Cao Ang crushed the invitation in his hand and threw it into the brazier.

Cao Ang thought for a moment, then ordered Li Gui, "Go and call Jia Xu to me!"

Jia Xu soon arrived at Cao Ang's imperial study.

"My lord has summoned me here. What do you want me to do?" Jia Xu asked.

Cao Ang said, "Fengxiao, the Prime Minister's Office just sent me an invitation to go to Cao Cao's base camp Puyang to watch the ceremony. What do you think?"

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "Cao Cao's move is quite strange. I think we cannot go there easily."

Cao Ang nodded, he had also considered this situation.

Jia Xu continued to analyze: "Cao Cao may have done this to lure the lord."

Cao Ang raised his eyebrows and motioned Jia Xu to continue.

Jia Xu continued, "It is rumored that Cao Cao has a brave general named Zhang Liao who is extremely brave.

This man is Cao Cao's most loyal guard. Cao Cao wants to use his lord's hand to eliminate Zhang Liao.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. I think this matter needs to be considered carefully. "

"I think so too." Cao Ang also agreed with Jia Xu: "Feng Xiao, do you have any good ideas?"

Jia Xu was silent. He knew that this matter was very risky and it would be easy to capsize if he was not careful.

"Feng Xiao, I know this is too risky. But I also know that Cao Cao's power is too strong.

If we don't eliminate him while he's weak, we'll be in trouble later." Cao Ang expressed his concerns.

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said, "My lord, I have a plan that can defeat Cao Cao!"

"Just say Fengxiao," Cao Ang said excitedly.

Jia Xu said slowly: "My lord, when you fought against Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuan was very skilled in martial arts, and Dian Wei was extremely powerful.

The reason why my lord was able to defeat Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei was not only because of his wisdom and military strategy, but also because of his riding and archery skills.

Now the lord's riding and archery skills are far better than Dian Wei and Xiahou Yuan.

If the lord can use riding skills against Dian Wei, he will definitely be able to kill Dian Wei.

As for archery, I think your master's spear skills are superb, and you can kill the enemy from a distance of a hundred steps away and a distance of a thousand meters away!"

After hearing Jia Xu's advice, Cao Ang's eyes lit up.

Cao Ang also liked riding horses, so he was very confident in his horsemanship, and his riding and archery skills were not much worse than those of Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei.

"Fengxiao, this is a brilliant plan." Cao Ang said admiringly, "If it succeeds, our army will be able to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "My lord is wise and brave, and he will surely succeed."

"Fengxiao, this matter is left to you. Remember, all actions must be kept confidential." Cao Ang warned.

"I will keep my lord's teachings in mind." Jia Xu said with a bow.

After Jia Xu left the imperial study, he immediately led the Jinyiwei to Cao Cao's new house.

Cao Cao purchased a luxurious mansion in Puyang City as his base camp.

At this time, Cao Cao was already drunk.

"Haha, Zhongkang, let's have two more drinks!" Cao Cao said to Zhang Fei beside him, holding the wine glass.

Zhang Fei's face flushed red, he had also drunk a lot. "Drink, drink, drink! Let's finish this jar of wine, and then we can continue drinking," Zhang Fei said excitedly.

"Okay! Drink it all!" Cao Cao poured the entire bowl of wine into his stomach.

Zhang Fei also drank up the wine in his hand, then slapped his chest and shouted, "More!"

"More!" Cao Cao and Zhang Fei each brought over a few jars of wine, and the two brothers started drinking again.

Zhang Fei never doubted his boss Cao Cao. He felt that although Cao Cao was usually a bit gloomy, he was still very loyal at critical moments.

As long as Zhang Yide is around, those damn Yellow Turban remnants are all scum!

Unfortunately, what Zhang Fei didn’t know was that Cao Cao was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He pretended to be a good person on the surface, but in fact he was vicious and cruel in his heart and was a complete villain.

Moreover, Cao Cao had another purpose in inviting Cao Ang to a banquet this time.

Cao Cao already knew that Cao Ang had captured Yanzhou in Xuzhou, and he was extremely envious and jealous about it.

Cao Cao's power is now much more stable, but he lacks sufficient resources, so he must expand his army.

But Cao Cao had always used money to support his soldiers and had no savings at all.

During this period of time, Cao Cao searched various aristocratic families, but no one was willing to support him.

Cao Cao could only swallow his anger. After all, his power was not yet consolidated, and he did not dare to break off relations with the aristocratic families.

What Cao Cao needs most now is funds, and Cao Ang is Cao Cao's best choice.

Cao Cao planned to join forces with Cao Ang to attack Sun Quan and make Sun Quan owe him a favor.

In this way, Cao Cao would be able to gain more benefits from Sun Quan and strengthen his own strength.

The conflict between Cao Cao and Cao Ang has a long history, and Cao Cao has long wanted to get rid of Cao Ang.

Cao Cao has sent a lot of spies to investigate during this period and found that there seemed to be nothing unusual in Xuzhou, so Cao Cao decided to take the initiative to attack.

So, Cao Cao hosted a banquet in Puyang to entertain Cao Ang, with the purpose of discussing how to attack Sun Quan.

The meeting between Cao Cao and Cao Ang was seen by Jia Xu and the Jinyiwei who were secretly monitoring them. Jia Xu immediately ordered the Jinyiwei to report this information to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang accepted the information, thought about it carefully, and felt a sense of crisis.

Cao Cao suddenly held a banquet to entertain me, he must have wanted to win me over and get me to help him capture Xuzhou.

Cao Ang thought about it seriously and realized that there was no conflict of interest between him and Cao Cao. The only interest or hatred between them was Yuan Shao.

Cao Ang thought Cao Cao's idea was a bit crazy, but he did not rule out Cao Cao's ambition to dominate the world. Wasn't Cao Cao like this in history?

Cao Ang didn’t know whether his guess was correct or not, but he believed that Cao Cao must have his own plans, so Cao Ang had to be on guard.

"Fengxiao, I want to see Lu Bu!" Cao Ang said to Jia Xu.

"Yes!" Jia Xu hurried to make arrangements.

Lu Bu was on patrol. When he heard Cao Ang's call, he hurried to the palace.

As soon as Lu Bu arrived at the gate of the palace, he met Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly walked to Lu Bu and whispered, "General Fengxian, the lord requires you to enter the palace immediately."

Lu Bu had a premonition in his heart, is his lord going to use troops against Sun Jian?

Cao Ang waited for Lü Bu to come in, then asked him, "Fengxian, what do you think of my decision?"

Lu Bu was stunned. It was the first time he heard Cao Ang ask for his opinion. He always made the decisions himself before.

"I am willing to follow you till death!" Lu Bu knelt on the ground and said solemnly. (End of this chapter)
