Cao Ang did not ride his horse to chase him as Lu Bu said, but waited quietly where he was.
After all, he had to save some face for Lu Bu and not make him too embarrassed. Otherwise, the reputation of Dong Zhuo's most powerful general would be compromised, which was not in line with Cao Ang's interests.
Watching Lu Bu riding his horse into Yanshi County, the city gate closed with a bang.
Cao Ang turned the horse's head.
At this moment, there was silence among the coalition forces, and countless eyes focused on him.
The more than 100,000 troops looked at the figure sitting on horseback with enthusiasm and reverence in their eyes. The temperature overflowing from their eyes seemed to be able to turn into a substantial flame, igniting everything around them.
See this situation.
Cao Angce immediately stepped forward.
Then, with his eyes focused, he raised his silver gun high in his right hand, reflecting a dazzling silver light under the sunlight.
Although he didn't say a word, everyone in the army cheered involuntarily.
"The general is mighty!"
Someone even took the lead and shouted loudly.
The next second.
It is the call of the mountains and the sea.
Countless people shouted these four words, and their power was as powerful as the ground shaking.
These ordinary soldiers didn't know how powerful Lu Bu was, what position he ranked in the world in terms of force, and what the significance of defeating this man was.
They only understand one thing.
That was Cao Ang's performance just now.
It is enough to leave an invincible mark in their hearts, making them proud of it.
And followed Cao Ang's horse forward.
The soldiers on the left and right made way for him one after another. They raised and lowered their long soldiers in their hands and swayed and waved flags, constantly crowding around to greet him.
"Hush!"
When Cao Ang reined in his horse in front of the Chinese army's tent and jumped down, he discovered that everyone led by Yuan Shao had already been waiting for his arrival under the high platform.
This is the highest level of praise and recognition that Cao Ang should receive after his victory over Lu Bu.
Cao Ang said nothing.
He walked forward quickly, bowed his hands, and bowed slightly in salute: "Alliance leader, generals, you have fulfilled your mission and the majesty of our army!"
…
Before he could bow down.
Yuan Shao came to him as quickly as possible, held his elbows with both hands, and helped him up.
"Zixiu, there is no need to be polite!"
"The ability to save the face of our army in this battle is really all down to you alone. You should take the lead!"
After Cao Ang straightened up.
Yuan Shao first looked Cao Ang up and down and saw that his face was still not red, he was not out of breath, and there were not even a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
It seemed that the battle just now was handled with ease.
Now he couldn't help but patted Cao Ang's shoulder with admiration and said in a tone of great amazement.
"People say that Lu Bu is invincible in the world. When I was in Luoyang, I saw with my own eyes his martial arts that ranked first in the world, and thought that he was brave enough to be unworthy of any man."
"But today Zixiu is even better. His martial arts surpasses Lu Bu. You are truly a god!"
Yuan Shao gave a very high evaluation without hesitation, but none of the people standing behind him raised any objections, they all nodded repeatedly.
If you look carefully.
You can see that everyone's eyes are full of shock and horror.
Everyone was shocked and their scalps were numb!
Originally before this battle.
Almost no one believed that Cao Ang could defeat Lu Bu, and even being able to hold on for a hundred or ten rounds with Lu Bu was considered superb in martial arts.
Even those who have been staying in the local area and have never seen Lu Bu's strength with their own eyes naturally feel that Lu Bu is invincible after hearing his name too many times.
However, today, they realize that the situation is small.
Lu Bu's performance did not exceed everyone's expectations.
Still so strong.
No matter who he is, he can't last more than a few rounds.
But what really shocked everyone was Cao Ang, who showed ten times or even a hundred times his perceived strength in the first battle.
With his own strength, after hundreds of fierce battles, he showed an invincible attitude and broke Lu Bu's undefeated myth with great strength.
It is indeed beyond everyone’s expectation!
This guy is too good, right?
I don't know if Cao Mengde taught him well or if the child has talent.
In short, everyone envied Cao Cao for a while.
Let Meng De have great luck!
…
Remove the high platform.
On the way back to the Zhongjun camp.
Cao Cao did not rush to ask questions. Instead, he looked around, even patted his hands, and looked at Cao Ang carefully.
Then he asked with some concern: "Ang'er, how did you feel about the battle with Na Lu Bu? There was no injury on your body, right?"
Cao Ang shook his head.
"Father, don't worry. The child is intact. But Lu Bu is worthy of being a strong general in the world. It's a fluke that I can beat him. If we fight him again, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."
Hear the words of humility from your son.
Cao Cao quickly waved his hand.
"You can't say that. How many people in the world can be lucky enough to defeat him? Among our coalition forces alone, I'm afraid I can't even pick one who can tie with Lu Bu. You've already done a great job. !”
Speaking of which.
Cao Cao couldn't help but move closer to the side, then lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Son, how did you develop your martial arts skills? My father has never seen you practice marksmanship on weekdays?"
Cao Ang blinked.
He really hasn't practiced marksmanship.
Technique is his weakness, it is only powerful but invisible, but there is no need to explain this to Lao Cao.
Therefore, Cao Ang rolled his eyes and pretended to be ignorant and said: "Maybe this is talent."
Cao Cao: "..."
Intuitively, Cao Ang was perfunctory with him, and Cao Cao was too lazy to continue asking. No matter how he got his martial arts skills, it was enough that he was my son.
When I think of this.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
Why is my son so powerful!
A detailed count of the past incidents, big and small, can all reflect that Cao Ang possesses quite a lot of good qualities and is excellent in many fields.
If an ordinary person achieves the ultimate in a certain field, he can already be regarded as a genius.
But his own son is a man of both civil and military skills.
Both ability and political integrity!
It can be said that he is a talent that is rare to see in hundreds of years!
Really proud of him.
Tsk!
The scene of the Cao family becoming a famous family in the world is just around the corner.
…
After returning to the camp.
Yuan Shao couldn't wait to summon everyone to discuss the next siege plan.
Now that Lu Bu has lost to Cao Ang, he will definitely not think about using a one-on-one battle in front of the battle to delay time.
The coalition forces just need to attack hard.
What's more, now that Lu Bu has been losing for a while, the morale of the defenders stationed in Yanshi County will be somewhat low no matter what.
If we don't take advantage of such a good opportunity to launch an attack, the difficulty will rise again when the defenders in the city slowly come in.
While the coalition heroes were discussing the battle plan with each other, Cao Ang sat quietly aside and recalled his actions today.
The reason why he took the initiative to fight Lu Bu was not to hold on until he was full and to show his strength in front of the world, but to win Dong Zhuo's trust through Lu Bu.
Cao Ang knew that the Cao family had set up a banner to challenge Dong and spread the word to the world. Dian Wei even killed Hua Xiong at Chenggao Pass.
These many things will definitely make Dong Zhuo dissatisfied and even resent him.
But right now, Dong Zhuo still has a lot of resources in his hands, and the political resources in Dong Zhuo's hands will not dissipate for a long time to come.
This is what Cao Ang needs most!
Therefore, he must resolve Dong Zhuo's resentment towards him.
And Lu Bu is a good communication bridge.
That's why Cao Ang took the risk to go to the battlefield, just to get a chance to communicate with Lu Bu privately.
Now it seems that the result is good.
Successfully gained Lu Bu's trust.
And a seed of rebelliousness was planted in Lu Bu's heart to oppose the Xiliang Army headquarters.
In addition, there are unexpected benefits.
That was the reputation Lu Bu created for him.
He directly praised Cao Ang as a hero among those who wanted to challenge Dong, and he was number one in the world in his mind.
Many gains far exceeded expectations.
This battle was indeed bloody.
Cao Ang felt quite satisfied.
Now it depends on whether Dong Zhuo can succeed. Anyway, he has entrusted the letter he wrote a few days ago to Lu Bu.
I just hope that what is written above can convince Dong Zhuo, the damn fat man.
Of course, if it really doesn't work, there's nothing we can do.
…
Three days later.
The offensive and defensive battle in Yanshi County is in full swing.
Dong Zhuo put the last available troops into this city, hoping that Hu Zhen and Lu Bu could hold on for a few more days.
Of course, these two people do have some abilities.
With the tens of thousands of troops at hand, the entire county was turned into an iron barrel. Even though the coalition forces were besieging it from all sides, there was no sign of wavering.
Of course, the defenders must be constantly reducing their numbers.
This momentum of persistence will not last long.
And at the same time.
It is located in a palace in the North Palace of Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo was weighing a small bamboo tube in his hand, with doubts in his eyes.
"You said General Lu asked you to send this?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it was General Lu who sent the villain to deliver it. He also told the villain that this thing is of great importance and must be handed over to the Prime Minister without any delay."
"Along with this, there is a letter written by General Lu himself!"
After getting the answer you want.
Dong Zhuo waved the soldier down, and then picked up the letter Lu Bu gave him.
After taking it apart.
Dong Zhuo only glanced at it.
I couldn't help being surprised.
Just the first sentence of this letter made him a little shocked.
"My foster father, I have something to tell you. As far as I know, Colonel Huben Cao Ang is an internal agent of our army and has now infiltrated into the coalition forces."
Cao Ang...inside? !
Dong Zhuo couldn't sit still now, and hurriedly read it from beginning to end, reading the cause and effect described by Lu Bu in the letter, as well as the details of his conversation with Cao Ang, word for word.
After reading it.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but frowned.
Throwing the letter on the table, Dong Zhuo leaned half on the backrest, his eyes a little wandering, as if his thoughts were no longer in the hall.
…
Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, this guy actually said that he was an insider within the coalition, not a betrayal.
Moreover, Lu Bu also vouched for him with words and words. Each stroke was full of trust in Cao Ang and various explanations for him.
The first thing Dong Zhuo doubted was the credibility.
After all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
From the time Cao Ang left Luoyang until he joined the coalition forces to crusade against him, there was more than half a year between them. What exactly did he do?
I don't know anything about it.
Could it be that with just a few words from him, I could believe it and conclude that he was indeed acting as an internal agent? There was no such reason.
Dong Zhuo felt that with Cao Ang's methods.
It's more likely to be a lie.
Not only did he deceive himself, but even Lu Bu might have been deceived by him.
Anyway, they couldn't verify it, so they couldn't just let Cao Ang talk nonsense and do whatever he said.
Just Cao Ang's dark temper.
Most likely they want to win their own trust, and then continue to play both sides of the coalition and themselves, benefiting both sides, and doing nothing for both sides.
Dong Zhuo felt that this possibility was the greatest.
In addition, there is another possibility.
That is, Cao Ang and Lu Bu teamed up to deceive him.
Just like what Li Ru said to himself a few days ago, Lu Bu and Cao Ang are considered brothers. The two of them joined forces to gain his trust and then seek benefits.
This is not impossible.
Regardless of the possibility.
Dong Zhuo felt that he would not be easily deceived. He was no longer the same Dong Zhuo who had just returned to Luoyang from Xiliang.
Never again because of Cao Ang's few words.
They were deceived and kept going around, listening to his orders and giving him benefits.
snort!
It's not that easy to fool me!
…
After silently shackles himself, Dong Zhuo opened the sealed bamboo tube.
He took out the secret letter given to him by Cao Ang.
There are several large sheets.
"When Yuan Shao raised his troops, the Duke of Ming Dynasty personally launched the campaign, and the whole country gathered to respond. All the counties in Guandong raised troops to respond to Yuan Shao."
"I have only two thousand soldiers under my command. Before this surging momentum, I am like an ant. If I dare to oppose Yuan Shao, I will turn into powder in an instant."
"My father-in-law worshiped Han Fu as the shepherd of Jizhou, but this man turned against him and colluded with Yuan Shaohang. With the combined efforts of the two, my Hu Ben camp was in a dilemma."
"I have no choice but to pretend to join the coalition in order to protect myself. I hope you will forgive me."
Just the first few sentences of this letter made Dong Zhuo fall into deep thought.
Although he thought in his heart that Cao Ang was playing tricks.
But I have to admit that these few sentences are indeed facts and are not lies.
Put yourself in their shoes.
If he were to lead two thousand men in such an environment, he probably wouldn't be able to do better than Cao Ang.
There was Yuan Shao before him and Han Fu behind him.
There seems to be no other option except joining the Dong coalition.
Especially when Cao Ang mentioned in his letter that he appointed Han Fu as the shepherd of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.
This time, various people from all walks of life were fighting against the Dong coalition.
Most of them came from his appointment.
When it comes to who is the real betrayer, Dong Zhuo himself probably ranks first.
…
Just a few words.
Most of the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart had disappeared.
Doubts about Cao Ang's congenital nature have also been reduced a lot.
Could this guy really be pretending to join the coalition forces, but actually be working as an inside job for me?
Dong Zhuo shook his head.
Trying hard to get rid of this idea.
Suppress your thoughts and continue reading the secret message.
"I know that Mr. Dong may not fully believe me. After all, there is no basis for what I say. No one knows whether things are true or false without seeing them with their own eyes. I only have a few examples."
"First, I was the one who instigated the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to compete for the position of alliance leader, which made them both resentful of each other. All the people in the alliance were forced to divide into two factions, and there were already cracks in the alliance!"
Just this first paragraph.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
If this kid really did it, then he can be said to have taken the greatest credit.
He has insiders within the coalition forces.
It's just that the level of this eyeliner is not high.
You can only get the news from others.
But at least if Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, and the position of leader was hard-won, and he went through a lot of verbal arguments, Dong Zhuo would be able to get news about such things.
The thing is true.
I just don’t know if it was Cao Ang’s handiwork.
…
Keep your mind down for now.
Dong Zhuo continued to look back.
"Sun Jian was defeated at the hands of Hua Xiong at Chenggao Pass. I suggested to everyone that Sun Jian be punished severely, so that Sun Wentai was almost killed by Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shao had not taken care to kill the general before the battle, it is unknown, and Sun Jian might have died unexpectedly."
Read the last word.
Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened.
The whole person was quite shocked and repeated the above text.
He now somewhat believes that Cao Ang is really working inside the coalition forces.
Such a dirty method.
I'm afraid only Cao Ang can really play it.
Sun Jian just lost a game, but this kid actually directly killed someone.
But it's a pity that it didn't succeed.
Otherwise, the coalition forces will lose a general.
Regarding this matter, Dong Zhuo felt that Cao Ang would not lie to him. After all, he could get the truth or falsehood of the news just by casually using his informants.
Whether everyone really discussed whether Sun Jian should be punished severely, and whether Yuan Shu had the intention to kill Sun Jian, we can find out at a glance.
At this stage.
Dong Zhuo already somewhat believed in Cao Ang.
Maybe he was really enduring the humiliation?
…
When looking further down.
This is the last example cited by Cao Ang.
As Lu Bu mentioned in his letter, Sun Jian's decision to cut off food was also his idea.
The thought of this.
Dong Zhuo hurriedly rummaged around on the desk.
Then he found the battle report that Lu Bu sent to him a few days ago asking for merit.
The words above clearly stated that Sun Jian was driven back.
Dong Zhuo was naturally very clear about the tricks Lu Bu played in these battle reports. He said he was repelling him, but in fact it was Sun Jian who retreated on his own.
Then it proves that this happened.
Combined like this.
If all three things were done by Cao Ang, then the least likely option would be the truth.
That is to say, Cao Ang was really forced to join the coalition, but even though he was in the enemy camp, his heart was on his own side, and he kept wreaking havoc within the coalition.
If that's really the case...
hiss!
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Could it be that I really blamed this guy wrongly?
…
Dong Zhuo still found it a bit hard to believe.
After all, these few examples are still unsubstantiated.
He had never seen it with his own eyes. It was Cao Ang who was causing trouble in secret.
certainly.
There is also a piece of letter paper at the bottom.
