Cao Pi cursed in his heart, but did not dare to show any emotion, and said again: "Brother, I am Cao Pi!"
"ah!"
Cao Ang was surprised.
He rubbed his eyes, saw Cao Pi clearly, and explained: "It turns out to be the second brother... Oh, I just dreamed that Zhang Xiu was coming to kill me, so I took action decisively."
"I didn't expect that I accidentally injured my second brother."
"Second brother, I have a bad habit of hitting people in my dreams. I didn't expect to hurt you."
Cao Ang turned his face sideways and said seriously: "If my second brother still minds, just slap me. I promise not to fight back."
Cao Pi's cheeks twitched.
Beat you?
Cao Pi glanced at Cao Cao, who was watching eagerly. If he dared to take action, his father would probably give him a slap in the face.
Cao Pi felt uncomfortable in his heart and said quickly: "Brother, just wake up. You talk to father, and I'll go and rest for a while."
After speaking, Cao Pi left in a hurry.
Cao Ang's eyes fell on Cao Cao, and he was about to stand up to salute, but Cao Cao pinned him down on the bed.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and sighed in his heart.
At the moment of life and death, Cao Ang gave him his war horse so that he could evacuate from the battlefield. In a desperate situation, it was Cao Ang who turned the tide and rescued Dian Wei, Cao Anmin and others.
If something goes wrong with Cao Ang...
Cao Cao could not imagine what the result would be.
Cao Cao was rarely emotional, but at this moment he was full of emotions. He took Cao Ang's hand and patted it again and again, and his thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Zixiu, thank you for your hard work."
Cao Ang said modestly: "It's not hard."
Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Ang'er, don't tell your mother about the danger you were in in Wancheng, do you understand?"
Cao Ang's mother is his adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding.
The biological mother had died long ago.
Mrs. Ding has no children and has raised Cao Ang since she was a child, treating him as her own. The key is that Mrs. Ding protects the calf and has a fierce personality. Cao Cao is frightened when facing Mrs. Ding.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao took the initiative to mention it.
Cao Ang nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, I know what to do."
"Good boy!"
Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered: "Have a good rest. Let's rest for another day. When the Qingzhou soldiers who fled have returned, we will prepare to withdraw to Xudu."
Cao Ang took the initiative and said: "Father, I want to go to Wancheng again to fight back against Liu Biao."
After a good night's sleep, he felt refreshed and energetic, and could continue to fight.
Cao Cao explained: "Lü Bu has made some changes in Xuzhou. Now we have a large-scale war with Liu Biao. Once Lu Bu enters the situation, it will be very troublesome to fight on two fronts. Now go back to the court to appease Lu Bu, and then go back and capture Nanyang."
Cao Ang did not give up and said proactively: "I don't need too many troops. A thousand tigers and leopards are enough. There are few people and they come and go like the wind."
"Liu Biao knows I'm going south, so he won't take it to heart."
"Father, dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only under power. Being timid cannot scare Liu Biao. Only by beating Liu Biao painfully will he not dare to be presumptuous."
Cao Ang solemnly said: "Please allow me, father."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
His son became more mature, and Cao Cao was very satisfied.
Just like this, Cao Cao was even more unwilling to take Cao Ang's risk. He shook his head and said: "It's too dangerous. It's better to stabilize Lu Bu first and then take back Nanyang."
Cao Ang curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "When I return to Xudu, my mother will ask Zhang Xiu why he rebelled. How should I answer?"
Cao Cao's face darkened.
He snorted and scolded: "You kid, what do you want to do?"
Cao Ang looked innocent and explained: "I didn't think about anything. I was just thinking about how to deal with my mother's inquiry."
Cao Cao couldn't scare Cao Ang, so he waved his hand and said: "That's all, how can I have the heart to refuse you so much? I agree!"
Cao Ang immediately said: "Father, I want Xu Chu to accompany me. Dian Wei's injury is too serious, it would be better to have Xu Chu to help."
Cao Cao's cheeks twitched.
Brat, you really know how to speak like a lion.
In fact, even if Cao Ang didn't mention it, Cao Cao would arrange for Xu Chu to accompany him to ensure Cao Ang's safety.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "I will ask Xu Chu to bring a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to obey your command."
Cao Ang cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, father!"
Cao Cao reached out and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, "Zixiu, safety first."
Cao Ang said confidently: "When I defeat Liu Biao and capture Wancheng, I no longer need to worry about Liu Biao's surprise attack from the north. I went to the front line, and my father arranged for sentries to keep an eye on me, ready to take over Wancheng at any time."
Cao Cao nodded, gave some instructions, and stood up to leave.
Cao Ang got up and went to have a meal, arranged for someone to accommodate Jia Xu, then went to visit Dian Wei, and then went straight to the school grounds.
In the school field, Xu Chu was ready.
Xu Chu currently serves as the captain and is in charge of the Suwei Hushi. However, Xu Chu was accompanying him for protection, and Dian Wei was protecting Cao Cao personally.
Xu Chu was a rough man, but rough on the outside and delicate on the inside.
He deliberately moved closer to Cao Ang, his attitude became more enthusiastic, and he said loudly: "My lord, a thousand tigers and leopards are in position, ready to fight at any time."
Cao Ang nodded slightly, looked at the thousand tiger and leopard cavalry in formation, and said loudly: "Soldiers, Zhang Xiu is destroyed, but Liu Biao comes here to take advantage."
"Liu Biao's behavior is no different from that of a bandit."
"The enemy can go, so can I!"
"I want to tell Liu Biao that my Cao family cannot be insulted, and I also want to tell him not to stretch out his hands, otherwise he will be caught."
Cao Ang raised the big gun in his hand and said loudly: "You guys, do you dare to fight with me?"
Xu Chu clenched his fists and said loudly: "I will chase the eldest son to the death."
"Swear to follow the eldest son to the death!"
A thousand tigers and leopards followed, shouting and roaring.
"Set off!"
Cao Ang got on his horse and led the tiger and leopard riders southward overnight.
On the other side, outside Wancheng.
Liu Biao's army has been stationed.
Liu Biao was nearly sixty years old and had long since lost the ambition he had when he arrived in Jingzhou. He was content with just holding on to his one-third of an acre of land.
Zhang Xiu was supported by Liu Biao in Wancheng, making Zhang Xiu a barrier to the north of Liu Biao.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao.
Liu Biao was worried that Cao Cao would go south in a hurry, so he led his army to station at the border of Wan County. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, he adopted a defensive strategy.
Liu Biao originally thought the situation was difficult, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao couldn't control his second son, Taiji, and slept with Zou, which led to Zhang Xiu's rebellion, killing Cao Cao and fleeing in embarrassment, and Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers collapsed.
Liu Biao felt happy, thinking that Cao Cao must be finished.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu was killed.
Once Zhang Xiu died, the situation in Wancheng became unstable again. Liu Biao had no choice but to personally lead his troops to join the battle and control the situation.
In the camp, Liu Biao was drinking to relieve his fatigue after taking some time off.
Just at this time, a soldier entered and reported: "Envoy, fifteen miles away from the north of Wancheng, a cavalry of Cao's army appeared. There are about a thousand people, and they are killing in our direction."
Liu Biao ordered: "Explore again!"
When the soldiers went down, Liu Biao immediately called Cai Mao and Huang Zhong in.
Liu Biao quickly explained the situation of Cao's army and ordered: "Cao Cao has arranged an army, apparently to test. Cai Mao, take Huang Zhong with you, send 6,000 troops north, and defeat Cao's army for me. I want Cao Cao to You know, if I don’t hit him, he won’t think I’m easy to handle.”
"promise!"
Cai Mao answered without hesitation.
He has been appointed by Liu Biao to serve as the governor of Nanyang. This is an opportunity to expand the influence and interests of the Cai family, and Cai Mao also hopes to establish his authority.
Cai Mao had 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry. He believed that in terms of combat effectiveness, he was a sure winner.
When the distance between the two sides was close, Cai Mao looked at Huang Zhong and ordered: "Huang Zhong, take the cavalry as the vanguard and defeat Cao's army head-on."
"As you command!"
Huang Zhong answered decisively.
He rode a black war horse and charged forward with a long knife.
Huang Zhong is forty-six years old this year. Although his temples are gray, he is full of energy and blood. When he saw Cao Jun coming to kill him, he roared: "Nanyang Huang Zhong is here, stop me and die!"
Cao Ang's eyes lit up when he heard Huang Zhong's shouting.
Huang Zhong!
This is one of the Five Tiger Generals.
Cao Ang tightened his grip on the big gun in his hand and urged his horse to rush towards Huang Zhong's direction.
Cao Ang's body transformed, but he didn't know where the upper limit of his power was. Huang Zhong came just in time to give it a try. He didn't dare to be careless. The moment he approached Huang Zhong, he mustered up all his strength to swing his gun.
Huang Zhong also slashed with his sword.
The impact of the knife and gun was deafening, and the force of the impact was even greater. Huang Zhong's hand holding the knife was numb and painful, and he could not hold the handle of the knife.
Who is this?
When did Cao Jun have such a young tiger general?
But before Huang Zhong could react, Cao Ang hit him with another shot. There were no extra moves, let alone exquisite marksmanship. He could defeat him ten times with one force.
Huang Zhong couldn't avoid it, so he raised his knife to block.
The two of them fought, but Cao Ang was not affected by anything. One shot after another, the attack speed became faster and faster, and the power became heavier and heavier.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged more than ten moves.
Cao Ang found that Huang Zhong had no successors and knew that the opportunity had come. He is born with divine power and his power is endless. However, Huang Zhong was nearly fifty years old. Under the high-intensity head-on collision, Huang Zhong simply could not hold on.
"Let go!"
Cao Ang swung out a spear with a blast and hit Huang Zhong's sword.
boom! !
The impact was deafening, Huang Zhong's knife was knocked away, and the big gun hit Huang Zhong's shoulder with great force, knocking Huang Zhong to the ground with one shot.
"Huang Zhong, you are defeated!"
The spear stopped in front of Huang Zhong's chest, and the tip of the spear flashed with cold murderous intent, making Huang Zhong shudder.
Huang Zhong stared at Cao Ang with horrified eyes, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "With such strength, he is definitely not an unknown person. Who are you?"
