The aristocratic families in Jizhou became honest, and Cao Ang was satisfied. At this stage, it was impossible to transform Jizhou like Xuzhou and Jingbei.

Therefore, Cao Ang’s goal is to use Jizhou as a springboard, change Jizhou in a general direction and strategy, and conquer Xiliang and Liaodong at the same time.

Cao Ang pinched his eyebrows and put down the document book in his hand. The foundation of Jizhou is indeed much better than that of Xuzhou, and even Bijingzhou is slightly stronger. However, with so many powerful families, Cao Ang still had a headache.

He threw Jizhou to Lu Su that day, but it is still inevitable to rectify it. Cao Ang felt that he would not do anything before and would pursue his future.

Fortunately, the shock he left behind the Jizhou family when he attacked Jizhou was still there. They were all so cowardly that they dared not show up. Cao Ang's government orders were quite clear.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the internal situation. Now the internal situation is safe, and we can attack the external situation.

Cao Ang then went to the military camp to look for Xiahou Dun.

At that time, Xiahou Dun trained soldiers in the camp, and was always waiting for Cao Ang to lead his troops to attack Bingzhou to attack Ma Chao to relieve his hatred. The soldiers reported that Cao Ang arrived, and Xiahou Dun hurriedly invited him to the camp.

"uncle."

Xiahou Dun hurriedly followed Cao Ang, "Zi Xiu doesn't need to do this. On the battlefield in the future, you will be the main general. How can you salute me, the auxiliary general?"

"Etiquette cannot be abolished."

Xiahou Dun looked serious: "No, no, no, this matter cannot be wrong. If you go to Stand out in the future, Zi Xiu should not be so complicated."

Cao Ang had no choice but to respond with a smile, and secretly praised in his heart that he was not Cao Cao, and his seniority was lower than Xiahou Dun. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun was a sensible person.

Xiahou Dun led Cao Ang into the tent, stepped back from the left and right, and forced Cao Ang to sit in the upper seat and sat on the side freely.

"Zi Xiu, you feel uneasy when you touch it. It's not for no reason that I respect you so much. If you can't defeat Ma Chao, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Cao Ang smiled bitterly, and Ma Chao really became the hatred in Xiahou Dun's heart.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm here today to discuss the dispute with my uncle."

Xiahou Dun was suddenly excited and asked Cao Ang what he planned.

“Can there be a map?”

Xiahou Dun hurriedly sent someone to present it.

Cao Ang pointed to the location of Jizhou City, "Now Jizhou is separated by Bingzhou, Taihang Mountains. It is not easy for infantry to pass by, and cavalry cannot pass. There are deep mountains and old forests, and the terrain is dangerous."

Xiahou Dun nodded heavily, "It is precisely because of this that Ma Chao drove eastward from Bingzhou, and attacked directly from Taihang Mountain to Shiyi."

Cao Ang chuckled and said, "This is Ma Chao's ability."

Xiahou Dunqi said: "Is it possible that Zixiu has another plan?"

Cao Ang smiled and said, "Uncle, look, Julu and Taiyuan are only separated by a Taihang Mountain. If a surprise weapon crosses Taihang..."

"Then Taiyuan will definitely go down!" Xiahou Dun looked affirmative, "No one can think of such a surprise soldier, just how can we lead our troops across the Taihang Mountains?"

Cao Ang waved his hand, "Don't worry, uncle, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Cao Ang drew a line on the map, "The troops were divided into two groups. One was to lure Ma Chao to attract elite troops to attack Jizhou, and the other was to lead the surprise troops to attack Taiyuan. After getting Taiyuan, he would lead the army to encircle him. In this way, Ma Chao would be defeated, and he would probably die here!"

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed, "If so, not only will Ma Chao be defeated, but half of Bingzhou will be won!"

Cao Ang nodded with a smile.

Xiahou Dun turned and hesitated: "Does Zi Xiu have a plan to go to Taixing?"

Cao Ang said seriously: "Uncle is at ease, just wait for one month, wait until autumn, and fight together. At that time, I will definitely teach my uncle to kill him happily!"

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed, and the two discussed some military affairs of the march and formation.

Xiahou Dun pondered: "Zi Xiu, Mrs. Zhang has come to find me."

Cao Ang pretended not to know and pretended to be surprised, "What's the matter?"

Xiahou Dun sneered, "I guess I am here to ask you for your affection. The former is entrusted with your name. Zhang Wenyuan and I are concerned about you. If it is not too much, we have not paid attention to him. After the child was born, his arrogance became even more powerful. That day, you must be unwilling to let go of his high walls, hum."

Cao Ang chuckled and said, "A woman, if I hadn't been concerned about my son scolding his father for being frivolous in the future, how could I spare her then!"

Xiahou Dun laughed, "Okay, if Zhen is hindering his eyes from Zi Xiu, I will tell me about it and I will destroy him!"

Someone was on behalf of the sword, so Cao Ang would certainly not be polite, "Thank you uncle for this!"

Xiahou Dun sent Cao Ang out of the camp. The two of them were talking while walking. When they were about to leave the camp, they suddenly saw shouting and cheering.

The two of them were surprised and went to watch.

The school ground was surrounded by groups, and the two had to go up to the arrow tower and looked up. They saw each of them standing in the field, lifting their hems, facing five or six majestic soldiers, and in just a few rounds, they put everyone on the ground.

Seeing that he was very brave, Cao Ang asked who he was, Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "This person's name is Wang Shuang, his courtesy name is Ziquan, and he is from Didao County, Longxi County. He is good at using big swords and meteor hammers. He can dig two stone bows!"

"So brave, you should be a brave general for a charge!" Cao Ang couldn't help but praise Wang Shuang to easily knock down a big man.

Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Since Zi Xiu is happy, you can adjust him into your tiger and leopard cavalry."

Cao Ang hurriedly refused and said, "No, there are so many powerful generals in the world, how can they get into my trap?"

Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Ang was not like making false statements, nor did he force him. Few people were willing to give up such a vanguard.

Xiahou Dun then sent Cao Ang out of the camp.

Cao Ang bid farewell to Xiahou Dun, "I'm just waiting for my uncle. This month, my uncle can train his soldiers to deal with the war."

Xiahou Dun laughed, "Zi Xiu is at ease, no matter whether it is attacking or defending, I will definitely not drag Zi Xiu down!"

"My uncle said great, don't send me off, I'll go and prepare." Cao Ang bid farewell to Xiahou Dun and returned to the prefecture.

Cao Ang went to the prefecture and sent someone to take the Taihang map.

Taihang Mountains are high in the north and low in the south, steep in the east and slow in the west, and there are many mountain streams. Not to mention cavalry, even infantry is difficult to move.

However, it is not impossible to cross Taihang Mountain. It is not difficult to find hunters who are familiar with the road to enter the mountain, find the right direction and attack Taiyuan in a surprise attack.

Cao Ang then sent the Jinyiwei to search for experienced hunters.

Within five days, the Jinyiwei found three experienced hunters to the official office.

Cao Ang hurriedly asked the three of them to sit down. Although the three of them were hunters, they had rich experiences. When they knew that the person in front of them was Cao Ang, they hurriedly bowed down.

Cao Ang hurriedly helped the three of them up in person, called their servants to get the wine and meat, and treated the three of them with kindness. The three of them had seen such a scene, and they were so grateful to see Cao Ang treating them well.

After the three of them finished drinking and eating meat, Cao Ang smiled and said, "I heard that you and the three of them are old hunters. They have been hunting in Taihang Mountains for many years, so I asked someone to come here. I wonder what Ming you and the other three are called?"

The old man said in one year: "Bizhou Governor, all of my three surnames are Niu. Old man calls it Niu Li, my eldest son calls it Niu Qian, and my younger son calls it Niu Yong."

He was called by Niu Li and bowed, but Cao Ang knew who the name corresponded to.

"How many years have my father-in-law hunted in Taihang Mountain?"

Niu Li smiled and said, "It has been more than 30 years. Since I was a child, I have followed my father in the Taihang Mountains. People in the countryside rely on the mountains to eat the mountains."

Cao Ang was overjoyed. For more than 30 years, he will definitely gain something this time.

Cao Ang hurriedly asked someone to take the map and circled it with his fingers, "Is the father-in-law familiar here?"

Niu Li looked a little embarrassed. He looked at the snow-white paper with lines. The picture knew him, but he didn’t know the picture!

"Binzhou Governor, the villain doesn't know where the piece drawn by the Lord Zhou Governor."

Cao Ang slapped his head, "I miscalculated."

He called the Jinyiwei who brought the three of them to come, and asked them where they lived, and gently clicked on the brush with a brush, and then took the picture to show Niu Li.

"This is my father-in-law's house. This is Taihang Mountain. It is the north on the top, the west on the left, the east on the right, and the south on the bottom. Let's take a look, you are familiar with that direction."

Niu Li stretched out his finger and circled a range on the map. Perhaps because he felt it was a little bigger, he drew a small circle.

Cao Ang just wanted to release animals and laugh. In the Three Kingdoms, if you don’t know the road, you will ask the hunter. If you really get something, Luo Guanzhongcheng won’t deceive me!

Cao Ang looked at Niu Qian and waved his hand, indicating that Niu Qian and said as soon as he had something to say. Niu Qian said, "Taihang Mountain is very steep in the east, and it will be slow for dozens of miles west. I and my brother went to hunt in it."

Cao Ang was overjoyed and said three times in a row, "Okay, OK, OK!"

I sent three people down to rest, and I would go to visit Taihang Mountain in the next day.

Now it is early autumn, and there is only a slight coolness. Cao Ang leads nearly a hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to take the Niu family and the three of them to Taihang Mountain.

More than fifty people were left to look at the horses. Under the guidance of Niu Li, more than thirty people gradually climbed on the rocks by ropes.

After a few hours, Cao Ang had already climbed to the low and gentle place on the east side. Cao Ang began to remember the road with his heart. No matter how steep it was, there were slightly smooth places. It took decades for the Niu family and his son to explore three or four generations to find this road to cross Taihang.

When Cao Ang saw Leping City far from the west of Taihang Mountain, he couldn't help but laugh. Thanks to Ma Chao, if Ma Chao hadn't raised Leping so much, Cao Ang really wouldn't have recognized it. If it were another city, he would have to enter the city to verify it!

I walked along the road again. Several soldiers who were accompanying me were good at drawing and had already drawn the routes. I even recorded what should I pay attention to in those places and what prominent signs there were in that place.

It should be fined twice and confirmed by several people.

Cao Ang was overjoyed and encouraged everyone to say that he would return to the prefecture to reward him!

Everyone was happy too.

Cao Ang sent someone to give a hundred gold medals to reward the three fathers and sons of the Niu family, and ordered them to be placed in the city of Jizhou, and he was secretly monitored just in case.

After resettling the prefecture, Cao Ang led four thousand tigers and leopards to the mountain!

There was no problem finding the right path. There were 4,000 people, Cao Ang divided into 20 teams, with 20 people in each team. Cao Ang took twenty people every time. After walking for ten days, he finally made one out of every twenty people familiar with the road.

At the same time, Cao Ang ordered the soldiers who were skilled in drawing to draw 200 drawings and sent them to each team leader. Everything was ready and just waiting for action.

Cao Ang came to find Xiahou Dun, "Uncle, this time I will attack you by surprise, so I will trouble my uncle to attract Ma Chao's elite."
