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

Even if Cao Ang used despicable means to capture Bo Fu, so what?
Cao Ang's strength is far inferior to Bo Fu. Bo Fu only needs to break through all the way to attack Changsha County. Then he can seize Jingzhou, wouldn't it be wonderful? "

"Zhongzhi is right. If Bofu can successfully enter Jingzhou, our army will be sure to win.

Unfortunately, Cao Ang is extremely cunning, and we have to be on guard against him." Cao Cao praised and continued to ask.

"Then how does Zhongzhi think our army should deal with Cao Ang's sneak attack?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Look, my lord. Although Cao Ang is strong, our army is not weak either.

As long as our army can hold its ground, Cao Ang will not be able to do anything to us in the short term."

Cao Cao agreed with this and believed it was the safest way.

Cao Cao asked, "So what plans does Zhongzhi have?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I have made preparations." Guo Jia said confidently.

Cao Cao immediately became interested and asked hurriedly, "Tell me!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I had expected Cao Ang would not give up Xiangyang, so I deliberately left an ambush.

They were lying in ambush outside the South Gate, ready to charge out once Cao Ang's army attacked Xiangyang.

Cao Ang has a lot of troops and horses. If he is surrounded by an ambush, he will surely be defeated."

"What a great idea!" Cao Cao exclaimed.

Pang Tong frowned and said, "Feng Xiao, are you sure Cao Ang will be fooled?"

"Cao Ang is a tyrant, so he would never risk attacking. But he could send troops to harass, or even dispatch the Flying Bear Guard.

At this time, the Feixiong Guards' attack was exactly what they wanted." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. You are worthy of being Fengxiao." Cao Cao said admiringly.

"These are just little tricks. My lord, don't take them to heart," Guo Jia said modestly.

"Fengxiao, you have worked hard this time." Cao Cao said with emotion.

"I dare not take credit for it. This is what I should do when serving the country," Guo Jia said respectfully.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Since you have a plan, you will be responsible for it."

"I obey your command!" Guo Jia agreed.

Cao Ang's army camped fifty miles away from Xiangyang.

"Brother, why do we have to stop? Let's just charge forward." Guan Yu couldn't help but complain to Cao Ang.

"Don't be anxious, brother. We just fought a battle and the soldiers are tired and need to rest.

Wait until after dark before launching the raid.

When the time comes, we will deal a fatal blow to the enemy, which will surely inflict heavy damage on them." Cao Ang said calmly.

"Brother, you are wise!" Guan Yu flattered him.

Zhang Yun and Pang De also thought this was a good idea.

"Let's stay here temporarily today and launch an assault tomorrow." Cao Ang gave the order.

Liu Jun set up camp according to Cao Ang's instructions.

Zhang Yun and Pang De brought their soldiers to a hidden hill.

Zhang Yun looked at Pang De and said with a smile: "Yuanlong, what do you think our lord is doing?

They actually asked us to build a camp in such a remote place.

What a waste of food.”

"Brother Zi Lian, be careful with your words!" Pang De said in a low voice.

"Tsk, there's nothing to be shy about. We've been eating wild vegetables these past few years.

Can you eat better than me?" Zhang Yun was speechless.

Pang De said helplessly: "We are in an awkward position now, so we have to be careful."

"Alas, we have no choice." Zhang Yun wailed.

Pang De comforted him, "Brother Zilian, don't think too much. Once we have made great achievements, Emperor Liu will definitely take us in." Zhang Yun nodded and said, "I hope so."

The two began to exchange information.

Inside Liu Jun's camp, Dian Wei was questioning Cao Ang, "My Lord, are we just going to wait here?"

Cao Ang shook his head and said, “I believe those noble families will never sit idly by and watch our army occupy Xiangyang.

Once they know that Xiangyang has fallen, they will certainly send troops to resist. Then we will have the opportunity to turn the tables and eliminate these bastards."

Cao Ang's target was the entire Yizhou, not just Xiangyang.

After Dian Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and said, "My lord is wise!"

"Let's go. Let's find a comfortable place to rest." Cao Ang stood up and stretched. He was really tired.

In Liu Jun's tent, Cao Ang, Jia Xu, Ju Shou and Xun Yu were gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Ang looked at the military map in front of him, frowning, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect Liu Biao to have another trick up his sleeve."

"My lord, this is not surprising. As a relative of the Han royal family, Liu Biao naturally has some reservations," Jia Xu reminded.

Cao Ang nodded. How could Liu Biao be as dominant as Emperor Jing of Han? Without some skills, that would have been the case.

Liu Biao did a good job of keeping secrets. From the moment he ascended the throne, he excluded all the princes.

After he ascended the throne, he strictly closed the country off from the outside world.

Even Liu Xie was not clear about his specific strength, only Liu Biao himself knew it best.

Liu Biao secretly cultivated a number of military generals who were loyal to him, which prevented Cao Ang from conquering the city of Xiangyang.

Cao Ang had foreseen this when Liu Biao ascended the throne, but he had no way to stop it.

"Liu Biao, Liu Biao. Do you think you can get away with hiding behind the scenes?

Sooner or later, I will capture Xiangyang City and let you experience how it feels when I can’t clap your hands.” Cao Ang said fiercely.

"My lord, what is the situation in Xiangyang City?" asked Ju Su.

Cao Ang said grimly, "Inside Xiangyang City, Liu Qi, Lu Bu, and Gao Lan are colluding with each other.

They united together and formed a tribal leader called Meng Huo."

"Meng Huo?" Jia Xu's eyebrows twitched.

Cao Ang nodded and said, "That's right. This Meng Huo has great influence in the southern barbarian land.

Not only do he have thousands of cavalry, he also has thousands of war horses. My spies reported back that this Meng Huo is a tough guy.”

Everyone gasped in shock. Cao Ang actually met a macho man.

"My lord, our army has no access to Jingzhou by land or water, how can we capture Xiangyang?" Xun Yu said worriedly.

Cao Ang said confidently: "Don't worry, Wen Ruo, I'm ready."

"We are willing to go!" Ju Su and Pang De said in unison.

The other counselors were not so active. Cao Ang had 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, and they were well-equipped.

As long as they are given orders, they can successfully complete the task of siege even without anyone's command.

But now Cao Ang asked them to participate in the siege, which clearly showed that he had other ideas, or he wanted them to serve as cannon fodder.

Jia Xu would not refuse Cao Ang's order. He had followed Cao Ang for a long time and knew him well. He knew that Cao Ang wanted them to train.

Xun Yu and Pang De were veteran strategists, so naturally they would not refuse. They also wanted to see what tricks Cao Ang had.

Cao Ang looked around with satisfaction, then said to Ju Shou and Pang De.

"You two should come with me. Remember, you must obey my command. I will never forgive anyone who disobeys military orders!"

"We will obey your orders!" Ju Su and Pang De saluted together.

Cao Ang brought Ju Shou and Pang De to a tent in the northeast corner of the camp.

In this tent, in addition to the four generals Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, there were also several counselors and Jinyiwei.

"My Lord!" Chen Gong, Zhao Yun and others saw Cao Ang entering the tent and hurried forward to greet him. (End of this chapter)
