Cao Cao slammed the table

"Come, beat Yuan Shao's envoy out with clubs! Yu Jin, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, listen to my orders!"

""I am here!"

Yu Jin, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu were all recruited by Cao Anmin to Cao's camp.

When Master Anmin was in trouble, Yu Jin, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu were extremely worried.

"My Lord, wait a minute, listen to what Yuan Shao's envoy has to say. It won't be too late to send troops to attack Yuan Shu."

Guo Jia stood up and advised calmly.

Although Cao Cao was angry, he could still listen to Guo Jia's words.

"Okay, let Yuan Shao's envoy come in. Just give Yuan Shao this face!"

Although Cao Cao was furious, he also knew that it was not appropriate to fall out with Yuan Shao at this time.

If he really fell out with Yuan Shao, there would be Yuan Shu in the south, Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Bei and Lu Bu in the east.

Cao Cao could really be said to be fighting on all sides.

With the current strength of Cao's army, it might not be possible to win a single fight against Yuan Shao. Not to mention fighting on all sides

"Meng De! Do you really want to be an enemy of my lord?"

Outside the general's tent, a man rushed in angrily.

""Xu You? Xu Ziyuan?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

The man who rushed into the general's tent was Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, a counselor under Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Xu You knew each other when they were young, and they had a good relationship.

The two were indeed old friends.

"Humph, Cao Mengde. You still know me, Xu You? Cao Mengde, with your current strength, can you fight on all sides? Make enemies everywhere!?"

Xu You has always been arrogant. He relied on his old acquaintance with Cao Cao to speak in a very unfriendly tone.

The generals and counselors in Cao's camp in the general's tent were angry when they saw that Xu You was so arrogant and rude to Cao Cao.

Especially Xu Zhu, who took two steps forward and blocked Xu You's collar with his hands:"You dog thief, go back and tell Yuan Shao. Let him tell Yuan Shu to send our Anmin Prince back obediently. Otherwise, I, Xu Zhu, will definitely pull off the heads of the Yuan brothers!"

Xu You blushed. He came here on behalf of Yuan Shao. He was angry and anxious when Xu Zhu grabbed his collar.

"You are so good, Cao Mengde! You really want to be surrounded by enemies! Good, good. Don't think that you can defend Yecheng with just one army! My master has ordered Chunyu Qiong, the defender of Guandu, to lead an army of 30,000 to capture Yecheng!"

Huh?

Cao Cao and the generals and counselors of Cao's camp were all stunned.

Conquered Yecheng?

There is such a thing?

As the commander-in-chief, how come I, Cao Cao, don't know about this?

"Cao Mengde, you are still pretending! It was you who ordered your nephew Cao Anmin to lead his army to bypass Guandu and capture our Yecheng, and severely injured the third son Yuan Shang."

"Don't tell me you know nothing about this!"

Cao Cao, I'm afraid you won't believe me, but I really don't know anything!

"Ziyuan, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Cao Cao also didn't believe that Cao Anmin would capture Yecheng.

Didn't the nephew Cao Anmin go to Qiao's house in Xi County, Lujiang to pick up Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?

How did he run to Yecheng?

This is too unbelievable.

"Cao Cao! My master is just informing you that he has personally led the army south from Jizhou!"

Xu You shouted

""Zhongkang, step back."

At this moment, Xu Zhu was still holding Xu You like a little chicken.

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal Xu Zhu to step back.

As soon as Xu Zhu let go, Xu You fell to the ground with a thud.

"You are so good, Cao Cao, you are in big trouble now!"

Xu You was furious.

"Ziyuan, is what you said true?"

Cao Cao quickly helped Xu You up from the ground and asked with a smile.

Fighting against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu, Cao Cao's strength was simply not enough.

"Everyone says Cao Cao is treacherous. Ha, I still don't want to believe it. It seems that today I, Xu You, really have to get to know you, Cao Mengde, again!"

Xu You shook his head and took out Yuan Shao's letter.

Cao Cao unfolded it. Yuan Shao's words in the letter were harsh, and he solemnly warned Cao Cao that if he did not withdraw Cao's army from Yecheng within three days, he, Yuan Shao, would personally lead the army south.

Yuan Shao not only wanted to recapture Yecheng, he also wanted to annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop!

Hiss!

This is really an unprovoked disaster.

Cao Cao could swear to himself that he really did not send anyone to attack Yecheng.

"Cao Cao, just wait for my lord's army to march south!" Xu You held his head high, turned around and walked out of the general's tent.

The generals and counselors of Cao's camp were dumbfounded, watching Xu You walk out of the general's tent.

"My Lord, there are a hundred nobles outside who want to see you. The leader claims to be General Dong Cheng!"

After a lieutenant reported, he found that the atmosphere in the general's tent was very strange.

"Who, Dong Cheng? And a hundred ministers?"

Cao Cao was indeed a little confused.

"My Lord, Dong Cheng is a close minister of the Emperor. His coming here is very likely related to the Emperor.

Xun You hurried forward and praised Cao Anmin's plan of threatening the Emperor to control the princes.

"Ask Dong Cheng to come in! No, I will go to greet him myself."

Since this matter concerns the emperor, Cao Cao thought about it and decided to go and see it in person.

The generals and counselors in Cao's camp stood up and followed Cao Cao out of the general's tent.

"Dong Cheng leads all the officials to pay respect to General Cao!"

Are you sure?

Cao Cao was stunned when he came out. There were nearly a hundred people standing outside the general's tent.

Cao Cao had served as the Sili Schoolmaster in Luoyang, and he knew some of the officials in the court.

These people in front of him were really officials!

Hiss!

What were the officials and ministers doing all the way to Yanzhou?

Even Cao Mengde, who was so smart, couldn't understand.

Cao Cao cast his eyes on Guo Jia, who also shook his head.

Even the genius Guo Jia couldn't understand the situation. Why did these officials and ministers not follow the emperor and come to Yanzhou to join in the fun?

The world has changed, and it has changed for Guo Jia to not understand.

"General Cao, I wonder where the emperor is now, and we still need to pay our respects to him."

Emperor?

Which emperor?

Cao Cao was completely confused.

All these things that happened made Cao Cao say that he couldn't understand them.

Dong Cheng's face changed slightly. They all said that Cao Cao was treacherous. Did he imprison the emperor?

But Yanzhou was Cao Cao's territory, and he had to be timid on someone else's territory:"General Cao, didn't you send your nephew, Prince Anmin, to welcome the emperor to Yanzhou?"

Hiss!

Cao Cao took a breath of cold air.

Anmin again!

Nephew, what did you do?

Yuan Shao sent people to the door and said that Cao Anmin had captured Yecheng. All the officials and ministers also came to the door and said that Cao Anmin had kidnapped the emperor!

My dear mother. Nephew Anmin, you are not my nephew Cao Cao, you are my ancestor Cao Mengde!

"Come, ask the generals and the officials to go and rest.

Cao Cao did not bother to explain to Dong Cheng. His most urgent thought now was to find counselors such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You to discuss what to do next.

"My Lord, let's do it! Anyway, we will have a battle with Yuan Shao sooner or later, so it's better to fight sooner rather than later!"

"Yes, big brother. I think what Yuan Rang said is right. An Min has taken Yecheng. If we and An Min attack Guandu from both sides, Yuan Shao will no longer have the natural barrier of the Yellow River to rely on!"

"General Cao Ren, General Xiahou Dun. Absolutely not! This will put the lord in danger!"

Xun You hurriedly dissuaded him.

Xun Yu also stood on the side of his nephew Xun You.

Other counselors such as Man Pang, Cui Yan, Mao Jie, Jia Kui, Sima Lang and others were against sending troops to attack Yuan Shao.

"Humph, a bunch of cowards! My lord, please give Dian Wei three thousand men and I will take Guandu and Prince Anmin's troops to join Yecheng!"

"Dian Wei, everyone knows that you are Prince Anmin's man! Do you want to drag the lord into the abyss of war?"

Xun You was furious.
