Chapter 217: Chaos in Xuchang

Cao Army's Camp at Guandu

After dealing with the matters in Xuchang, Cao Ang meticulously wrote down everything that had happened there and had it sent to Cao Cao through Man Chong, who was heading to the Cao Army's camp at Guandu. He also included the letters from Xun Yu and Zhang Miao, as well as the family letters from Cao Cao's father Cao Song, Lady Ding, Lady Bian, Lady Huan, and several young lords.

When Cao Cao first saw in Cao Ang's letter that the emperor had actually sent Yang Feng and several hundred desperadoes to slaughter his family, he directly smashed the table with a single palm. Upon hearing this, the crowd of civil and military officials also became impassioned.

Although Cao Cao held great authority, he always harbored thoughts of retiring to the mountains and forests with his family in the future, and returning governance to the emperor. This was not a secret even within Cao's camp. However, the emperor does not tolerate such an idea, which is rather disheartening.

The emperor is only in his early twenties, while Cao Cao is already forty-two years old, well past the age of confusion. In these turbulent times, reaching the age of fifty is already considered fortunate. Moreover, Cao Cao has experienced numerous battles throughout his life, and he has also accumulated many hidden injuries. In addition to his military and political affairs, his head is already sprinkled with a significant amount of silver strands of hair.

What makes the generals most angry is that the emperor is causing trouble, but he first targets Cao Cao's family. How can this not be infuriating? The Cao and Xiahou families are truly infuriated.

Later, Cao Cao saw that Cao Ang only relied on Zhang Miao's leading of the Imperial Guards and three hundred Ming Mirror Guards to enter the palace. Cao Cao was even more shocked and angry. However, he heard that Cao Ang raced his horse on the imperial road outside the Sima Gate, and then falsely claimed to have received an imperial edict and killed the gatekeeper, Ouyang Chi. Cao Cao's emotions became mixed between joy and anger.

Naturally, anger arose from the act of Cao Ang lightly entering the palace, which was a provocation to the emperor's dignity; but joy came from Cao Ang's courage and bravery.

Cao Cao always held great expectations for his eldest son Cao Ang, and Cao Ang did not disappoint Cao Cao's expectations.

Cao Ang has been proficient in both literature and martial arts since childhood, excelling in military strategies and governance. However, he tends to be overly indecisive and compassionate, somewhat lacking firmness when making crucial decisions. As a result, Cao Cao tried to train his own children, but the outcome was not significant. Translated content: Cao Ang has been proficient in both literature and martial arts since childhood, excelling in military strategies and governance. However, he tends to be overly indecisive and compassionate, somewhat lacking firmness when making crucial decisions. As a result, Cao Cao tried to train his own children, but the outcome was not significant.

Seeing that CaOang's family was in danger, he ordered to ransack the residences of several ministers of the imperial party, and surprisingly, CaO Cao burst into laughter.

The emperor in the palace and the ministers of the imperial party should have never provoked CaO Cao's family.

Throughout his life of military campaigns, Cao Cao didn't spend much time with his family, especially his young children. It was almost always Cao Ang, his eldest son, who took care of his younger siblings. Cao Ang's concern for his family even surpassed that of Cao Cao. This time, when the Emperor posed a challenge, it pushed Cao Ang to unleash his deep-seated courage and pride.

Then, Cao Cao read the letters from Xun Yu and Zhang Miao. Most of the letters praised the rapid growth of Cao Ang during this period. They also reported the situation in Xudu, and Xun Yu apologized to Cao Cao as well.

As for the letters from the family members of Cao Cao, Cao Song and several of Cao Cao's wives also praised Cao Ang and then instructed Cao Cao to be cautious on the battlefield. The letters from the children only shared their own experiences and how Cao Ang took care of them. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

“甚善!甚善!伯宁大功!”

曹操一连说了两个甚善,显然第一个是在夸曹昂。

儿子长大了,无论是为人还是为官都已经变得极为成熟了。

The second one is praising Man Chong.

If it weren't for Man Chong, he almost couldn't return home this time.

"Hehe, my lord, there is another great news to report to you."

Man Chong also smiled happily, and this brought curiosity to Cao Cao as to what could make him so joyful.

Under the collaboration of Chonghong and Fengxiao, the Commander of Yizhou, Yin Shu, persuaded Zhao Wei to instigate an attack on Liu Zhang with Zhang Lu, Guo Fan, and others. At the same time, the Commander of Xiliang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui also led their forces to join Zhang Lu and others in capturing Yizhou. The Commander of Yangzhou, Liu Ruo, incited Liu Yao to attack Yuan Shu and reclaim his own territory. Originally, our plan was just to give those princes in the east and west something to do, but unexpectedly, the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes invaded Youzhou in the northern region, and the southern region of Wuling rebelled, causing chaos in Jingzhou.

Cao Cao initially suspected that the three major ethnic groups were inciting rebellion under Man Chong's influence, but his doubts were dispelled when he heard that Guo Jia was also involved. After all, in Cao's camp, no one detested ethnic minorities more than Guo Jia.

However, at least among the many feudal lords in the world, apart from a small figure like Zhang Ji, everyone else is troubled by the flames of war, and they are unable to break free for the time being, so it is obvious that they cannot intervene in the struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

What made Cao Cao even happier was that a large number of brand new military supplies and a considerable number of newly recruited soldiers were sent from the rear. Among them, some of the new soldiers were the trainees from the first round of learning but had not yet advanced to the second round at Xudu Martial Academy. Now, these military commanders had something good to compete for.

Later, Cao Cao and others transferred new soldiers to various armies, but the number of new recruits was not many after all. As a result, there were inevitably some arguments among the generals, especially regarding those graduates from the Xudu Military Academy.

These students are all top-notch!

"Xu Zhongkang! If you dare to compete with me again, I'll confront you!"

The one who spoke was Dian Wei. This guy and Xu Chu both had their eyes on a graduate student from Xudu Martial Arts Academy. The two of them had a good relationship originally, but they ended up arguing fiercely because of this student. They even came close to drawing their swords, leaving the student caught in the middle with no way to retreat.

Finally, after coming down from the battlefield, Guo Jia made the decision directly for Cao Cao. He took charge and transferred that student to Dian Wei's command, which was under his own command. This made Xu Chu extremely angry. He looked at Cao Cao with a helpless expression, but Cao Cao deliberately ignored him.

Nonsense! Don't you have any idea what Xu Chu looks like in your heart? Who can tolerate your teary and pitiful appearance?

Moreover, Guo Jia's brilliant performance in the Battle of Hulao earned him respect, especially because he continued to command despite suffering from a cold. Cao Cao also felt guilty towards Guo Jia, which is why he leaned towards him.

Where is Dian Wei? He received this prestigious scholar title and grinned widely. However, he did not mock Xu Chu. Instead, he discussed with Xu Chu about giving up his spot for ten other Xudu Martial Arts Academy students. I hope this translation meets your expectations. Let me know if you need any further assistance!

In the business of exchanging one for ten, as long as the talented student from Xuchang who has caught the attention of two people has not yet demonstrated his abilities, Xu Chu will not be at a loss. Xu Chu did not really have a falling out with Dian Wei, so naturally he agreed.

I don't want to, just as the two of them had just made peace, another battle erupted among the other generals in the big tent. These mighty generals on the battlefield now resembled quarreling market women, arguing and cursing in the tent over the recruitment of a few graduates from Xudou Martial Arts Academy and some soldiers. This chaotic scene in the tent made Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Man Chong, the civil officials, somewhat amused and exasperated.
