Chapter 452: Cao Ang

A look of admiration appeared on Lu Bu's face,

Quietly stretched out a thumbs up to Xu Shu,

But Xu Shu didn't care at all,

Continuing to pacing forward, he said thoughtfully:

"If this is the case, only the layout of Hanzhong is afraid that it will not be able to close the group of dogs in Yizhou, although Yizhou is full of mountain roads, difficult to pass, but it is not only one road, that Dajiang Tianhai is also an extremely important passage, this is a gap that has to be checked."

Lu Bu winked at Xu Shu,

He smiled mysteriously but did not speak.

Xu Shu's expression immediately became strange,

He did forget one thing,

When Lu Bu attacked Shouchun before,

But leading an elite naval army,

But when Lu Bu returned to annex the state,

But I didn't see the appearance of that water army,

Now that I think about it, these are all chess pieces that Lu Bu has arranged a long time ago.

Three years ago,

At that time, Lu Bu had just stabilized the rear,

But at that time, he had secretly trained an elite navy.

Although Xu Shu has not seen it,

But I can also feel the extraordinaryness of that water army,

You must know that although Lu Bu attacked at night,

And by the convenience of the flood,

But that's also in the thousands and facing more than a dozen times your own enemies,

Generally speaking, such an elite naval army did not have a period of considerable time,

It's impossible to train.

Even the leader of this navy,

is a famous general who is proficient in water warfare,

It's not going to be able to train in just a few months.

This is also enough to illustrate on the side,

The formation time of this naval army will definitely not be shorter than half a year,

That is to say, the time when Lu Bu was preparing this naval army,

At least for more than half a year,

Coupled with the search for candidates,

I'm afraid it will take more than half a year,

In other words, Lu Bu began to prepare for the navy four years ago.

However, at that time, Lu Bu,

is still busy fighting with Dong Zhuo,

and occupied Liangzhou,

It's the busiest and overstretched time,

However, Lu Bu was able to have such foresight and courage,

This couldn't help but make Xu Shu glance at Lu Bu again,

Looking at Lu Bu's eyes,

Again, a few heartfelt reverences were added.

Lu Bu enjoyed this gaze very much,

Smiling triumphantly,

Xu Shu then asked:

"But if our army is ready to send troops to Yizhou, how can Yuan Shao and Liu Bei sit idly by?"

Lu Bumo rubbed his beard under his chin,

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised,

Showing a somewhat mysterious smile, he said:

"I'm afraid it's not just the two of them, but there is a tiger waiting for an opportunity in Jiangdong."

Xu Shu nodded and added:

"That's right, this Sima clan is now at ease between these three families, and it is very likely that the Sun family in Jiangdong has already been drawn into their alliance, so we need to be fully prepared before we can consider sending troops......"

Lu Bu paused, looked back at Xu Shu and said:

"Yuan Zhi, so this time I made a special trip to ask you to come out of the mountain and help me!"

Xu Shu opened his mouth and was about to answer,

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him,

The two of them turned their heads in unison,

I saw Dong Ye running over in a hurry,

The look on his face was very anxious.

Lu Bu's brows furrowed tightly,

waved his hand to stop Dong Ye's salute,

Hurriedly took two steps forward and asked:

"What's going on, how can you be so flustered?"

"Lord, it's not good, the army is pressing!"

Dong Ye's breath has not yet been even,

He replied loudly.

Lu Bu and Xu Shu were shocked when they heard this,

invariably looked at each other,

There was a look of disbelief in the depths of his eyes.

Yanzhou, Chenliu County.

Now Chenliu County belongs to the land of the three wars,

It is currently occupied by Lu Bu's army,

To the northeast is Yuan Shaojun's territory,

The southeast side borders Liu Bei's chassis,

Originally rich areas,

After two or three years of frequent skirmishes,

It also became a little desolate.

A large amount of farmland is gradually reduced to wasteland without being cultivated.

In order to escape the scourge of war, many locals

They have all migrated out of here.

Now the chief stationed in Chenliu County is Cao Ang,

Three years ago, due to Liu Bei's alliance with the killers of the Wa Kingdom,

For Cao Jun's top and bottom,

carried out a bloody and brutal decapitation operation,

Up to Cao Cao himself,

down to many important officials in Yanzhou,

Whether he is a minister or a general,

lost more than half at once,

Originally among the princes of the Central Plains,

Cao Cao's strength, which can rank among the top few,

After this catastrophe,

Immediately plunged into a deep chaos.

Sima suddenly turned back at this time,

While robbing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty,

He also led a large amount of wealth and court officials to migrate to the south,

In the end, he hid in Koto, south of the Great River.

The once glorious Yanzhou Group,

It fell apart all at once,

the territory and population it occupies,

was also immediately divided by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

As an ally, Lu Bu,

Although in the first place to lend a hand,

But I can't do it,

Fortunately, Liu Bei only focused all his attention on Yanzhou itself at that time.

For Cao Ang's troops who went out to Xuzhou,

No assassination was carried out,

In fact, it's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to,

It's really due to a shortage of manpower,

This left a spark for the Cao family.

This army has retained some vitality,

And the loyalty of this army to the Cao clan is also beyond doubt.

Until now, although he has already served under Lu Bu,

But everyone knows that

Their true allegiance was only to Cao Ang.

For such cases,

Many people want Lu Bu to remind him from the front or side,

But Lu Bu ignored them all,

Instead, it acquiesces in or even encourages such behavior.

This also won the favor of this Cao army,

It made Cao Ang willingly regard himself as Lu Bu's subordinate.

After three years of training,

Cao Ang has now completely transformed into a good army leader,

Calm, meticulous, stern and generous,

His appearance is completely different from Cao Cao,

Tall and burly,

The appearance is full of heroism,

And the smile is very sunny,

But his mind was completely inherited from his father.

His wisdom is so great that many of his advisers are often ashamed of themselves.

Now Cao Ang has also grown a beard,

It looks quite majestic,

Sitting on the throne,

The brow furrowed slightly,

Whispered with some confusion:

"Recently, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei have been too quiet over there."

On the left hand side sits Xiahou Dun, and on the right hand side sits Chen Gong,

Cao Ang's words seem to be talking to himself,

In fact, he was asking Chen Gong,

In the previous assassination attempt,

Chen Gong was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe,

Although he didn't agree with some of Cao Cao's practices,

But in all fairness, I still admire Cao Cao very much,

So, having escaped that assassination,

He did not flee to him,

But after learning the news from Cao Ang's side,

The first time to come to find Cao Ang.

Cao Ang also trusts Chen Gong very much,

If you have any difficulties, you will ask them.

Chen Gong's brows were also frowned,

whispering interface says:

"These two sides are indeed a bit abnormal at this time, they haven't appeared at the border for nearly a month, and I doubt that they are planning to carry out some kind of conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?"

Cao Ang's face was a little ugly when he heard this,

He had a similar guess in his mind,

It's just that now Chen Gong's words,

This speculation is tantamount to confirming it.

Cao Ang stood up and came to the topographic map hanging by the wall,

Looking intently at the topographical map,

Whispered in his mouth:

"So where are they going to start?"

Xiahoudun's eyes froze,

Turning his head to look at the topographic map,

When you sit up straight and are about to get up,

Suddenly there was a hurried voice outside,

"Report ——! Emergency military intelligence! ”

Xiahoudun was slightly stunned,

Involuntarily sat back down,

Cao Ang's heart sank when he heard this,

Hurriedly turned around and looked at the tent door,

He shouted, "Enter! ”

An embarrassed-looking herald hurriedly walked in,

With a dusty face,

After entering the house, he did not have time to greet the salute before he spoke:

"Eldest prince, urgent military situation, Yuan Shaojun and Liu Beijun have sent troops to our army at the same time!"

The men in the tent looked at each other,

There was a heavy look on each other's faces,

Just now they were still speculating about this possibility.

Now it's a reality.

Cao Ang became more calm at this time,

After slowly sitting back in his seat,

Only then did he say in a deep voice:

"Don't panic, and tell me the details."

Cao Ang has such a calm attitude,

Not only did it affect the herald,

At the same time, Xiahoudun and Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction,

This is the bearing that people who have achieved great things should have.

The herald barely calmed down his breath at the moment,

Only then did he speak loudly:

"Yuan Shaojun went south from Changyuan, and now he is blocked outside the city by General Cao Hong, and the leading general of Yuan Shaojun is Han Meng, who leads an army of 50,000; Liu Beijun was led by Yan Xing with an army of 40,000, this person divided 10,000 troops to block Jiwu County, where General Li Dian was stationed, and more than 10,000 people blocked the rescue of Jiwu in other counties, and the remaining 20,000 people were all elite cavalry, and now they have broken through the defense line and are rapidly approaching Xiangyi County. ”

After listening to the herald's report,

Xiahoudun suddenly slapped the small case in front of him,

He shouted viciously:

"This group of beam-jumping clowns has already been calculated."

Cao Ang's brows furrowed tightly,

He lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Gong interjected at this time and asked:

"Is there any other information?"

The herald was stunned for a moment,

Naturally, he also knows Chen Gong,

Hurriedly nodded and continued:

"Yes, yes! In addition to these two detachments, there are also angels from Jiangdong. ”

Cao Ang, who always keeps his head down,

After hearing this, he suddenly raised his head,

Quickly opened his mouth and asked:

"Angels? What is he here for? ”

Because of the eagerness to ask,

Cao Ang's face was very ugly,

Even a little hideous and terrifying,

The herald shuddered involuntarily.

Cao Ang knew that it must have been his face that scared the other party,

Angels are not those birdmen with feathered wings in later Western mythology.

but the messenger of the Son of Heaven,

He who conveys the will of the Son of Heaven,

Therefore, it is referred to as the Son of Heaven.

Today's Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty,

was held hostage by Sima's people to Chaisang in Jiangdong,

In fact, the so-called will of the Son of Heaven,

That is the meaning of Sima's,

None of the people present knew this truth.

And the reason why Cao Ang is so angry,

It is precisely because of this Sima clan that

Although Cao Cao died in Liu Bei's conspiracy,

was assassinated by those ninjas of the Wa Kingdom,

But those who give advice and matchmakers,

But it was Sima Fu, the first adviser under Liu Bei,

That is, the third son of the Sima family.

After Cao Cao's death, one of the main reasons for the collapse of Yanzhou's power

It's Sima's rebellion,

and taking Emperor Han Xian hostage,

Even with him, almost all the officials of the imperial court were taken away.

This can be regarded as a fatal blow to the Cao family's forces to make matters worse.

And it's this time,

made the Cao family, which was originally a big family,

Almost all of them are on the verge of being delisted.

As a result, Cao Ang naturally hated Sima to the bone.

Now that I heard the news from Sima's side,

Cao Ang naturally gritted his teeth,

However, this can also determine the reason why Yuan Shao and Liu Bei suddenly joined forces,

Presumably, it was caused by Sima Shi threading the needle in it.

Cao Ang took several deep breaths in succession,

calmed down the agitation in his heart,

Shen Sheng said:

"Keep talking!"

The herald's body trembled slightly,

The voice of the speaker is also much lower,

Some of them said in a smug way:

"He, he said, Your Majesty issued an order, issued an order to let the eldest prince, let the eldest prince abandon the darkness and turn to the light, not ......"

"Smack!"

Cao Ang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart,

smashed the wine bottle on the small case in front of him,

Immediately smashed the hard case out of a deep nest,

Cao Ang gasped for breath,

If there are other words spoken in that will,

Even if it's insulting him or something,

He wouldn't be so angry,

It's just to make them surrender,

What else do you say to abandon darkness and turn to light,

His father, the people of his family,

All died at the hands of the other party,

But the other party wanted him to go and run,

And with words like abandoning darkness and turning to light,

It's not a naked humiliation.

Cao Ang's anger burned,

Chen Gong on the side quietly walked behind the herald,

Touching the herald lightly with his foot,

quietly glanced at it and let it go,

The other party hurriedly exited the room as if he had been pardoned.

Chen Gong cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Eldest prince, please calm your anger!"

Cao Ang exhaled heavily when he heard this,

The tightly clenched fists also slowly loosened,

Raising his head and looking at Chen Gong, he said softly:

"Sir, I'm sorry, but I lost my temper."

Chen Gong bowed slightly and said:

"The eldest prince is affectionate and filial, this is the outstanding thing about the eldest prince."

After a pause, Chen Gong's voice suddenly changed and said:

"But now is not the time to mess up our position because of hatred, the other party just wants to achieve such a goal, which will use such despicable means, and please beware of the eldest prince."

Cao Ang took a deep breath,

After a long time, I exhaled this turbid breath,

The whole person immediately returned to his former calm appearance,

Then he spoke softly:

"Thank you, sir, for your teachings! Ziyu wrote it down. ”
