Chapter 128 Returning to his old profession, Cao Zixiu started cheating again? [Please subscribe and vote monthly]

By the Jishui River.

Cao Ang and Dian Wei each led a horse and boarded a boat crossing the river one after another.

"Wow!"

As Dian Wei's hill-like figure stepped onto the ship, there was a creaking sound from the ship's deck.

At the same time, as Dian Wei moved around, the boat slid left and right on the water, making a fierce splashing sound.

The boat that was originally able to carry more than ten people across the river could no longer bear the burden including three boatmen and two horses.

Of course this is not a big problem.

After the boatman turned up the oars, the boat slowly and leisurely headed towards the other side of Jishui.

Cao Ang stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands.

While looking at the scenery on the river, thoughts were already racing in my mind.

After suggesting to his father that he should send a message, Cao Ang said another thing to him at that time.

That is, he is about to set off for Chen State.

At that time, Cao Cao was naturally puzzled.

It was now the eve of the war, and the whole county was preparing for war, training day and night, waiting to receive orders at any time, and marching towards Luoyang.

And at such a critical moment.

Cao Ang, as the captain of the Huben Camp and the second-ranking figure in the Cao family, wanted to leave the county and go to the Chen Kingdom south of Chenliu County, which really made Cao Cao feel inappropriate.

If the official crusade against Dong Zhuo is delayed because of this trip to Chen State, then it will be a small loss but a big loss.

Therefore, Cao Cao was resistant.

However, after Cao Ang stated that he went to Chen State to persuade Chen King Liu Chong, who was well-prepared and had strong soldiers and horses, to join the coalition army against Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao immediately changed his attitude.

Especially when Cao Ang explained that the contemporary King of Chen was resistant to the imperial court and would not necessarily send troops to take action even if he received Yuan Shao's appeal against thieves, Cao Cao immediately agreed.

What is business?

Isn’t this just business?

If we can get such strong support, our chances of winning against the traitor Dong Zhuo will be even greater.

As for other details, we can put them aside for the time being. I, Cao Cao, have left his son. How can I still not control the three armies and control these thousands of elite soldiers?

certainly.

It is estimated that the day before the official launch of troops to attack Dong Zhuo is within a month, and it is impossible for Cao Ang to make a round trip under any circumstances.

So the father and son made an agreement.

Regardless of success or failure in persuading King Chen and Liu Chong, they must arrive at Chenliu County within a month to meet up, otherwise they may not be able to catch up.

As for the military power of Huben Camp.

Cao Ang was given to Zhang Liao on a daily basis.

It seems that since he became Colonel Huben, he has never led this group of soldiers seriously. He has basically entrusted Zhang Liao to be his chief steward.

It’s also thanks to his familiarity with Zhang Liao’s character.

Otherwise, it is really not a good thing to be in a situation like this where the generals don't know what to do.

…

After blowing the cold wind on the river for a while.

Cao Ang got into the cabin.

After finding a random place to sit down, he fumbled for a piece of cloth from his arms.

This thing was specially given to him by Xun Yu before he left Dingtao County. Several things were recorded on it.

Most of them are what Xun Yu thought should be done during Cao Ang's subsequent crusade against Dong Zhuo and when he arrived at Luoyang City. It is equivalent to a memorandum of advice.

Mainly because in Cao Ang's view, there was no fierce confrontation in this crusade against Dong Zhuo.

There is no need for any cleverness at all.

Therefore, we can only leave Xun Yu in Dingtao County again and let him take charge of Jiyin County and cooperate with Cao Chun, who is stationed in Dingtao County in terms of generals, to protect the basic foundation of the Cao family.

And since there is no need to follow.

Then we can only make plans in this way.

After reading through it again.

Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction and stuffed the strip of cloth back into his arms.

It would be great to have a civil servant and counselor!

Going out also comes with strategies.

This time it is a decisive victory thousands of miles away!

You are worthy of being my daughter-in-law.

…

The long time ahead.

Cao Ang and Dian Wei traveled all the way across mountains and rivers.

Dining and sleeping in the open air, traveling under the stars at night.

The journey is not without hardship.

Fortunately, both of them are very perseverant, and they are also physically strong, with physical fitness that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Therefore, traveling like this is not a burden to them, especially since there is no large army to drag them down, the speed at which this master and his followers can move is very fast.

After half a month.

They had already crossed the boundary of Chenliu County and arrived at Yangxia County in the north of Chen State.

And here it is.

Cao Ang got an important piece of news, which saved him most of the remaining journey and no longer had to rush to Chen County, the seat of Chen State.

That is, after Chen King Liu Chong received Yuan Shao's message to punish thieves, he unexpectedly mobilized his army.

At this moment, he has led five thousand elite troops and is stationed in Yangxia County. It seems that he is gearing up and ready to respond to the call and attack Dong Zhuo.

Cao Ang was quite puzzled by this.

Could it be that Liu Chong has changed his temper?

According to the information provided by Xun Yu.

In his early years, Liu Chong was stabbed by his subordinate Prime Minister to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for privately offering sacrifices to the gods. This incident caused quite a big fuss and was considered a crime of treason.

If Liu Hong hadn't just dealt with the then King of Bohai, and it was inconvenient to attack the clan continuously, I'm afraid Liu Chong would have peeled off his skin.

under such a circumstance.

Liu Chong was naturally frightened.

From then on, he retreated to the territory of Chen State, no longer caring about anything outside, and he did not dare to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court.

According to this statement, Liu Chong should have hid as far as he could after receiving Yuan Shao's document begging for thieves.

Instead of taking the initiative to mobilize troops to Yangxia.

Therefore, Cao Ang suspected that Liu Chong had other considerations.

Of course, people are complex and changeable after all. Regarding the same thing, they may have different views at different times, so we cannot make a final conclusion.

Everything will come to light only after Cao Ang pays a personal visit to Liu Chong.

…

Yangxia County.

A place where troops are garrisoned outside the city.

Liu Chong stood on the school field, looking at the archery target fifty steps away, his left eye slightly narrowed, and his right eye fixed on the red painted bullseye.

Take a deep breath.

Holding the bow in his left hand and setting an arrow in his right hand, he slowly pulled the bow string. As the muscles between his arms arched, the bow string was gradually pulled to the maximum.

And it was at this moment.

Liu Chong let go of his right hand.
