"Ang'er, Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family in Runan. He was the fourth generation and the third Duke. His disciples and former officials are all over the world."
"After the disbandment of the Dong Alliance Army, he became dominant in Nanyang and other places like Longxing. It can be said that his troops are well-prepared and his strength is one of the best in the world."
"We must not take his threat lightly. Once he really leads his troops to attack, how can we withstand Yanzhou's current exhausted troops and empty granaries and treasury?"
Cao Cao acted very seriously.
His face was full of solemnity and seriousness.
There is a huge difference from the relaxation and freehand expression shown by Cao Ang.
Faced with the worries in his father Cao Cao's heart, Cao Ang would naturally not wave his hand and say that Yuan Shu was a scumbag and had low combat effectiveness.
Before there has been any real fighting or actual battlefield examples.
Such words can only be regarded as derogatory remarks by others and have low credibility.
Therefore, Cao Ang must analyze it with reasonable words so that his father can feel at ease.
"Although Yuan Shu and Uncle Benchu both came from the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, they had always had a lot of quarrels. Moreover, with Yuan Gongli's extremely arrogant temperament, he had always looked down on Uncle Benchu and felt that his status was low. .”
"With his proud temper, if he hadn't felt tremendous pressure, he would never have lowered himself to write such a letter to us."
"So the child feels that there is no need to worry about his father. All you need to do is do the opposite. Write a letter and send someone to Nanpi County."
"Let uncle Benchu send a letter to Nanyang in his own tone, and in turn threaten Yuan Shu. As long as he dares to act rashly, our two families will work together to kill him first."
With Cao Ang's thorough analysis, Cao Cao's serious and solemn expression soon softened.
He is also a person with far-reaching vision.
Many things can be seen clearly.
The reason why he was nervous about Yuan Shu's threat was simply because he was born and raised in this era.
In the previous thirty years of his life, the Runan Yuan family had always been an unattainable behemoth to him, and as the direct son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shuna was synonymous with nobility.
Cao Cao has not escaped from this era.
He couldn't look down on all living beings from the perspective of God, so how could he not regard Yuan Shu as a powerful enemy?
…
"My son's words are reasonable. Since Yuan Jiujiu sent this letter, it shows that he has a guilty conscience. He is afraid of the oppression Yuan Benchu will bring to him."
"I will write a letter tomorrow and send it to Nanpi County, and let the two brothers fight among themselves first."
while saying these words.
A complicated look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
If it were changed before, he was weak and followed Yuan Shao as his younger brother.
This approach is equivalent to asking your elder brother to protect you, which is to remove your backer.
But times are different now.
Now that he does this, it will lead to trouble, and Yuan Shao is no longer his eldest brother.
He casually took the silk book handed back by Cao Ang.
Cao Cao folded it again, stuffed it back into the slip, and then unfolded a map.
Looking thoughtfully at the place names above.
Then he pointed to Bohai County and the boundary of Youzhou to the north of Bohai County.
"Ang'er, our plan is more than enough to intimidate, but what if Yuan Jiujiu finds out the current complicated situation in Jizhou and knows that your original uncle is now trapped in a fight with Gongsun Zan."
"You are tough and have the courage to lead your troops just because you want to fight our army. So how should you deal with it?"
Cao Ang stood up immediately after hearing this.
He walked to Cao Cao's side and covered the location of Nanyang County in Jingzhou with his palm.
Then he said with a relaxed voice: "The plan just now was just a way to avoid war. After all, when we are recuperating, we will not fight if we can't fight."
"But this doesn't mean that we can't defeat Yuan Shu. In fact, from Hao'er's point of view, once Yuan Jiujiu dares to lead his troops to invade Yanzhou, it will be his way to defeat."
"Our army is sure of victory!"
…
Cao Cao knows.
My children never talk nonsense.
Being able to speak so confidently means that you are confident and confident.
So as Cao Ang's words fell.
Cao Cao immediately perked up.
He moved the map slightly, and then asked with excitement: "What is the certainty of victory? Tell me about it as a father!"
Cao Ang drew a circle around Jingzhou with his left hand.
Then he elaborated.
"As your father said before, Yuan Gongli has been entrenched in the northern part of Nanyang County since the dissolution of the Dong Alliance. It has been difficult for him to go south."
"Haier believes that it's definitely not that he doesn't want to go south, but that he encountered great resistance, forcing him to stay in the northern part of Nanyang County."
"Nanyang County is the land of Longxing. Although it is the largest county in the world, the local clans and families are extremely powerful. In the past, the governor of Nanyang County appointed by the imperial court basically could not leave the county. They could only make good friends with the local clans and families. , so that you can barely be decent."
Speaking of which.
Cao Cao was already nodding his head.
Although he has never been an official in Nanyang County, he still has some knowledge of the situation there.
Not to mention the prefect of Nanyang County, he could only barely control his own county.
Even the Jingzhou governor and even the Jingzhou herdsman had no control over Nanyang County.
The eight counties of Jingxiang were directly transformed into the seven counties of Jingxiang.
…
And after seeing his father's actions.
Cao Ang knew that he understood what he said.
He immediately continued speaking.
"Yuan Shu led his army to suppress Nanyang County, and then plotted against the entire Jingzhou. He was going against the entire Nanyang County clan, and even Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao."
"Once he acts recklessly and dares to raise troops to invade our border with Yanzhou, father, you can immediately join forces with Liu Biao and others. Our two families will attack from both sides. Even if Yuan Shu is very capable, he will definitely be defeated!"
Jingzhou Mu Liuxian is still a hero now.
He hasn't reached the age where he is stupid yet.
Therefore, Liu Biao had great ambitions to defend his existing territory and re-integrate Nanyang County into Jingzhou's ruling system.
Therefore, as long as Cao Cao contacts Liu Biao and discusses with him a flanking attack to drive Yuan Shu out of Jingzhou, Liu Biao will definitely be happy to do so.
And this has been said.
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
I couldn't help but slap the desk hard.
Then he stood up suddenly.
"Okay! This plan is really brilliant!"
Cao Cao was pacing back and forth around the table, punching each other with his fists and muttering to himself.
"Liu Jingsheng is by no means an easy person. When he called for a coalition of heroes to attack Dong Zhuo, he could endure it and stand still, only clinging to his own territory."
"Presumably Liu Jingsheng is more urgent than us to defend the land of Jingzhou. Once there is an opportunity, he will find us first without even having to send someone to send a letter to him!"
Just a few words of advice.
Cao Cao could immediately draw parallels, draw inferences from one instance, and think of many things in an instant.
In fact, Liu Biao had such a character.
Whether he has ambitions to conquer the world and dominate the world is unknown.
But at the very least, Liu Biao is absolutely unambiguous about preserving Jingzhou's basic base.
Who wants to touch his foundation.
Liu Biao can fight anyone to the death.
Therefore, as long as Yuan Shu takes action, Liu Biao will never miss this great opportunity.
…
"Uh-huh!"
Cao Cao turned over and found a blank bamboo slip.
Then use the brush to record on it.
I wrote down some key points so that I would not forget this move when Yuan Shu really led his troops to attack in the future.
And after Cao Cao finished writing.
Cao Ang felt that this was not enough, so he continued to add fuel to the fire to boost confidence for Cao Cao.
"Actually, when Father handed me the silk book, the boy felt a little puzzled. No matter how well-prepared Yuan Shu is, he shouldn't be so arrogant as to boast like this."
"Our Cao family is now dominating the entire Yanzhou, and father, you are the shepherd of Yanzhou with real power. The people of Yanzhou are popular. Why does Yuan Gongdao believe that he can defeat us in one battle?"
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang paused for a few seconds.
This gave Cao Cao some time to think.
Wait until Cao Cao realizes something.
He then continued to elaborate.
"So my child boldly speculates that the reason why Yuan Shu is so arrogant is because he rigidly believes that father, you are still a Yanzhou shepherd in name only."
"He doesn't know what the actual situation is, and that's why he's so defiant."
"And if this is indeed the case, then we can take advantage of it, show the enemy's weakness, make him take it lightly, and then attack him unprepared."
"How can Yuan Gongli be invincible?!"
The words just fell.
Cao Cao laughed immediately.
Let out a burst of hearty laughter.
"If my father's predictions are correct, my son's words may be exactly the same. He has already predicted Yuan Gongdao nine points!"
…
Cao Cao came to the high platform with his hands behind his back.
After walking around a few windows to make sure there was no one else around.
Just now he walked back to Cao Ang.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, revealing a sneer, mocking with some meaning.
"According to my father's speculation, the reason why Yuan Gongli sent such a letter for no reason must have been informed that Wen Chou led an army to support us and had secret conversations."
"Although I don't know the content of the secret conversation, it is enough to arouse Yuan Shu's vigilance."
"So my father plans to conduct an investigation on our Cao family's army and officials at all levels in the state starting tomorrow. Either we will get rid of the people Yuan Shu planted here, or we will throw all the suspicious people to the margins. Go up as a sinecure."
"After all, we haven't taken control of Yanzhou for a long time. This person is talking too much. It's time to clean up!"
Cao Cao showed full murderous intent.
After Cao Ang heard this.
But he nodded repeatedly.
First get rid of Yuan Shu's ears and eyes here so that his information is no longer as well-informed as before.
Thus.
It was enough to paralyze him for a long time.
If a conflict does break out in the future, Yuan Shu will definitely underestimate the enemy.
This was absolutely necessary before the war.
Although it is impossible to remove the ears and eyes completely.
But some people who have doubts but cannot be sure are directly transferred to idle positions. What kind of trouble can they make?
…
After such a discussion between father and son.
Cao Cao's mind was also settled.
He no longer felt the slightest bit nervous because of the threat in Yuan Shu's letter.
I even started writing replies all night long.
Cao Ang stood aside and took a sneak peek.
The words used by Cao Cao were not as straightforward and arrogant as Yuan Shu's. On the contrary, they were soft and hard, holding a gun and a stick, but showing a slight weakness.
It seems very artistic in language.
It is estimated that it can also confuse Yuan Shu for a while.
And after these things are dealt with.
Cao Ang then said goodbye to Cao Cao and left, preparing to leave Changyi County in the next few days.
…………
Late at night.
When there is no one around, it is quiet.
Cao Ang, who was supposed to be resting in his bedroom, suddenly appeared in a posthouse inn.
No one knew how Cao Ang suddenly appeared on the second floor of the inn. Even the owner of the inn couldn't figure it out.
In the guest room on the second floor.
There was only a weak candlelight, blooming with dim candlelight all around.
And in front of the desk in the house.
There are two people sitting opposite each other.
One of them is Mi Heng, who has now been found not guilty.
After it became clear that the incident was not a deliberate murder, but that he could not stand his anger, relapsed into old injuries, and died of heart failure.
Of course Mi Heng is not guilty at all.
Man Chong's trials are always fair and impartial, and he does not fear the powerful.
Therefore, after asking for instructions from Cao Cao, who returned today, Man Chong released Ni Heng that afternoon.
Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and other representatives of the Chenliu family would naturally not lower themselves to seek personal revenge against Mi Heng.
That would be too embarrassing, too dirty and disgusting, and they couldn't do such a thing.
Of course, if Mi Heng stays in the city.
If you keep making faces in front of them all day long.
It's hard to say whether he will hire someone to secretly take revenge after that.
That's why Cao Ang met Mi Heng tonight, intending to arrange a proper way out for him after talking and discussing with him.
…
"Zhengping, I have to thank you for your help in what happened a few days ago. Bian Wenli insulted my ancestors, and now I have to ask you to vent my anger on my behalf!"
Cao Ang cupped his hands and thanked Ni Heng.
Mi Heng waved his hand indifferently.
He still looked so carefree, free and easy, and didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"It's such a trivial matter!"
"It's just that now that I've finished taking care of things for you, how do you plan to arrange my whereabouts?"
"Or are you planning to silence me and make this matter disappear from history?"
Cao Ang couldn't help but chuckle.
"I can't commit such evil deeds as burning bridges and killing people."
Then he said to Mi Heng: "I have arranged a good place for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied with it!"
When Mi Heng heard this, he immediately became interested.
"How can you be sure that I will be satisfied with it?"
"I'd like to hear the details!"
Cao Ang immediately told his arrangement.
