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

Cao Ang smiled with relief. He had indeed not misjudged Lu Bu. "In that case, you should lead 50,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to assist the Prime Minister in taking Yuzhou."

Lu Bu was stunned. He was actually entrusted with such an important task.

"My lord, I'm afraid." Lu Bu hesitated. Fifty thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are not simple. They are a very powerful force that not everyone can mobilize.

Cao Ang waved his hand, motioning Lu Bu to sit down and talk.

"Fengxian, don't worry. These 50,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are specifically responsible for conquering Jingzhou and Yangzhou. They will have no impact on you. Go ahead and rest assured."

Lü Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had not had a good time recently, practicing martial arts all day and taking care of affairs at the same time, which was really exhausting.

"I obey your command!" Lu Bu said with a fist salute.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction. Lu Bu was still very reliable. At least he was much better than Xun You, Guo Jia and others.

When Lu Bu walked out of the hall, he was filled with gratitude that his lord actually trusted him.

Jia Xu stood aside and smiled. This way, Lu Bu would have a chance to grow.

Cao Ang did this because he had high hopes for Lu Bu and wanted to train a powerful general so that he could reduce the pressure on Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was wondering what Cao Cao was up to. He did not believe that Cao Cao really wanted to form an alliance with him.

Cao Cao did want to form an alliance with Cao Ang because it was the quickest way.

As long as Cao Ang agreed to ally with him, the troops under Cao Ang would become extremely vulnerable.

As long as he led his troops eastward, he could destroy Cao Ang in one fell swoop.

Cao Ang’s current strength is too strong, and he has a large amount of food and grass in Yanzhou, so Cao Cao has to be cautious.

"Fengxiao, what do you think of Cao Cao?" Cao Ang asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "My lord, Cao Cao is not someone you can easily deal with.

He has ambition, but he doesn’t have enough ability to accomplish it.”

Jia Xu's evaluation is very insightful.

Cao Ang said: "Feng Xiao, what do you think I should choose?"

Cao Ang felt that he should listen to Jia Xu's advice. After all, Jia Xu was highly talented and was his most trustworthy adviser.

Jia Xu said: "I think we should leave Xuzhou immediately and seek refuge in Beihai State."

Cao Ang's eyes lit up: "Why?"

Jia Xu explained: "Cao Cao is ambitious and will sooner or later turn against the lord.

If my lord stays in Xuzhou, he will definitely be in trouble. It would be better for him to go to Beihai Kingdom to avoid fighting with Cao Cao and at the same time weaken Cao Cao's strength.

Although the North Sea Kingdom is poor, it also has vast land for the lord to rest and recuperate. "

Cao Ang pondered for a while, then said: "Feng Xiao, your suggestion is very good.

But I am a little worried. Now, our Han Dynasty has been in existence for 400 years and is invincible in the world.

If we retreat to the North Sea, won't we be laughed at by foreign tribes?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My Lord, you misunderstood. I have no objection to retreating to Beihai.

But during this period, I believe that Cao Cao will definitely take action against our dynasty.

My lord, you are the supreme ruler, how can you put your own safety aside?

I think my lord should go to Beihai immediately to avoid Cao Cao's surprise attack."

Cao Ang understood what Jia Xu meant. Xuzhou was now being attacked from both Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Cao Ang also had Jiangxia County in the south, so if any accident occurred, Cao Ang could provide quick rescue.

But Cao Ang still felt reluctant to leave Xuzhou. Xuzhou was rich and had abundant resources, and Cao Ang had not yet enjoyed enough. "Fengxiao, I am unwilling to leave." Cao Ang said in distress.

Jia Xu advised: "My lord, no matter whether Xuzhou is rich or poor, it is still a piece of fat meat.

If my lord throws away this piece of fat meat, he will not only suffer a huge loss, but will also be in a disadvantageous position.

As an emperor, you cannot be too soft-hearted. My lord, please think twice."

Jia Xu was brainwashing Cao Ang. After hearing this, Cao Ang took a deep breath.

"Wenhe is right. I understand. I will leave for Beihai Kingdom now. Fengxiao, I order you to stay in Xuzhou."

"Yes!" Jia Xu agreed respectfully.

Cao Ang took out a secret letter from his bosom: "Wenhe, this is a letter I sent to the major families in Xuzhou. You must handle this matter properly."

When Jia Xu looked at the letter handed over by Cao Ang, he was shocked. This was Cao Ang's biggest secret, and he actually handed it to him to handle.

Jia Xu was indeed Cao Ang’s most loyal adviser. He did not open the letter but put it away directly.

After Cao Ang gave Jia Xu a few more instructions, he left with Dian Wei.

When Cao Ang and his entourage left Xuzhou, the major families in Xuzhou were still kept in the dark and had no idea that Cao Ang had left Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was excited when he heard the news of Lu Bu's surrender.

Lu Bu was so powerful that Cao Cao originally planned to send Guan Yu to attack Xuchang, but Lu Bu surrendered.

Cao Cao cursed in his heart: Is Lu Bu a pig? He surrendered so easily.

Or was this kid Cao Ang really that powerful, and Lu Bu was so frightened because he was unable to withstand a single blow?
Cao Cao inquired carefully about Lu Bu's situation and found that Lu Bu's condition seemed a little strange, like a dog.

Cao Cao was even more confused. Lu Bu would actually be Cao Ang's dog. This was something Cao Cao had never expected.

Cao Cao decided to meet Lu Bu in person.

After receiving the summons from Cao Cao, Lu Bu immediately rushed to Cao Cao's mansion and expressed his loyalty.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu for a few seconds and asked, "Brother Meng De, what is going on?

Why did you choose to join Cao Ang?"

Lu Bu lowered his head and remained silent, seeming a little embarrassed.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. Lu Bu's performance made Cao Cao vaguely guess a certain possibility.

It is estimated that Lu Bu surrendered out of helplessness and did not dare to disobey Cao Ang's orders.

However, Lu Bu's performance was obviously not what Cao Cao expected, so Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Cao Cao rebuked Lu Bu and said, "Brother Mengde, why did you surrender to Cao Ang? Has the reputation of our Cao family been destroyed?"

Lu Bu kowtowed quickly and said, "My lord, please calm down. I was captured by Cao Ang."

"Oh? Caught by Cao Ang?!" Cao Cao frowned. According to Lu Bu's character, it was impossible for him to just sit there and wait to die.

"Yes. Cao Ang used despicable means to capture me when I was not paying attention.

I am incompetent and failed to protect the safety of my lord, mistress and others." Lu Bu said with a sad face.

Cao Cao snorted in his heart, this boy Cao Ang was indeed extremely cunning.

Cao Cao asked: "Then why did you surrender to Cao Ang?"

Lu Bu sighed and said, "I had no choice. When I was in the north, I once fought with Cao Ang and I know how cunning he is.

Cao Ang was not only treacherous, but also very skilled in martial arts. I was unable to defeat him and was forced to surrender. "(End of this chapter)
