Hearing the shouts full of battle intent in the distance, Chen Gong stopped, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.

Perhaps it was a mistake to let Cao Ang go to Zhu Ling's camp. Sun Ce did not hesitate to risk his life and attracted Yuan Tan's main force, isn't it just to create an opportunity for Sun Jian to storm Zhu Ling's camp. As soon as he rushed from Rencheng to Yuan Tan's Chinese army, Sun Jian launched an attack, apparently premeditated. Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, brave and good at fighting, can Zhu Ling stop him, can he ensure Cao Ang's safety?

Although he was nervous, Chen Gong still quickened his pace, he wanted to pick up Xin Bi before Zhu Ling was defeated. Yuan Tan has been defeated, and can only rely on Cao Ang to support the crisis, and now is a good opportunity for Cao Ang to expand his strength. If Yuan Tan died, Cao Ang would even have a chance to succeed Yuan Tan in charge of Yanzhou.

To fight against Sun Ce, every strength is useful. As Yuan Tan's confidant and as the leader of the Ru Yingshi people, if Xin Bi can get his support, Cao Ang's road will be more solid.

Chen Gong quickened his pace and came to the front of the Chinese army camp. The Chinese army was already half empty, and only a limited number of soldiers were left to guard the camp. Seeing Chen Gong coming, the soldier turned around to report, Chen Gong was so anxious that he shouted: "The situation is urgent, how can you still report back and forth, waste time, open the door, I will go in alone." ”

Seeing that Chen Gong, who had always been elegant and calm, was angry, the soldiers guarding the camp gate did not dare to object and opened the camp gate. Chen Gong entered the camp alone, trotted all the way, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. He was originally a scholar, and he usually did not exercise much, although it was only two or three hundred steps from the camp gate to the big tent of the Chinese army, it was not an easy task for him, and he was out of breath halfway through the run, and it was difficult to continue. Chen Gong pressed the ribs that were aching from rapid breathing with one hand, and pressed the pounding heart with the other, barely supporting it, and ran more than a hundred steps to come to the big tent of Xinbi.

"Where is Xin Changshi? I want to see him, immediately! ”

The guards in front of the tent did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned back to enter the tent, Chen Gong followed, and as soon as he entered the tent door, he heard an exclamation.

"Long History—Long History—"

Chen Gong was taken aback, pushed away the guards, and rushed to Xin Bi's bed, only to see Xin Bi lying on the couch, the special soft cloth pillow under his head had been soaked with blood, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was motionless.

Chen Gong gasped and hurriedly put his hand on Xin Bi's forehead. It's a little cold on the forehead, but it's still warm. Chen Gong put his finger on the tip of Xin Bi's nose again, but he didn't find anything, and in a hurry, he put his ear to Xin Bi's heart, but what he heard was his own heartbeat. Chen Gong was anxious, pulled the guard, and shouted: "Quick, listen to whether Changshi still has a heartbeat." ”

The guard did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly put his ear to the mouth of Simbi's heart to listen, and after a while, he heard the faint sound of his heartbeat, and was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, Mr. Gongtai, there is a heartbeat."

Chen Gong was so angry that he scolded. "Naigong naturally has a heartbeat, let me ask you if Changshi has a heartbeat."

Only then did the guard know that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "What I'm talking about is Xin Changshi, Xin Changshi has a heartbeat, although it is weak, it still has." ”

"That's good, don't delay, send Changshi to the city immediately."

The guard was stunned for a moment. "Go...... Town? ”

Chen Gong was furious, and raising his hand was a big slap. "Yuan Yuanjun was defeated, his life and death are uncertain, his long history is dying, how can he be treated if he doesn't enter the city? You stupid, you don't know how you are injured like this, how do you serve people? If there is a mistake in the long history, you will not survive. ”

Only then did the Guardian come to his senses. He is a son of Xinbi's clan, and his mission is to wait for Xinbi and ensure Xinbi's safety, and now that such a big thing has happened, he is seriously derelict in his duty. If Simbi died, the head of the family would certainly not spare him. At this moment, he didn't care about whether he was in line with the rules anymore, and saving Xinbi was the only important thing.

The guards turned and went out of the tent and had Simbi's chariot driven. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Gong found Xin Bi's seal, ripped it off, and ordered someone to sweep all the documents in Xin Bi's tent and take them all to the car. He turned around and ran to Yuan Tan's big tent next door, pushed away the guards who stepped forward to block him, rushed into the big tent, swept left and right, and shouted: "Take away all the documents and orders." He turned around and went out of the tent, and said: "Order the baggage battalion, prepare oil and fireworks, and once the situation is not right, burn all the baggage, and it cannot be left for Sun Ce." ”

Yuan Tan's guards were dumbfounded.

——

Zhu Ling was directing the battle, and when he heard that Cao Ang had come to pay a visit, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, he did not hesitate for long, and immediately asked Cao Ang to enter the camp and come directly to the battle, and at the same time ordered the guards to prepare for contingencies.

Too many changes have taken place in just half a day, and he is a little confused about the situation, no matter what the news is, it is better than no news.

Cao Ang came galloping with a personal guard, he was not wearing a helmet, only a turban on his head, no knife around his waist, no weapon in his hand, only a roll of paper. The guards behind him were similar, they didn't bring weapons, they should have been placed at the camp gate.

Zhu Ling was secretly ashamed, he was defensive of Cao Ang, but Cao Ang himself disarmed first, and he was really a gentleman and frank.

Cao Ang rushed to Zhu Ling, bowed down hurriedly, and handed over the paper scroll in his hand without waiting for Zhu Ling to return the salute. "General Zhu, Yuan Yuanjun was defeated by Sun Ce and is retreating, just passing through the west gate of Rencheng, there are only a few horsemen left around him, and the situation is very critical. I couldn't react for a while, and I didn't have time to save him, so I had already sent my uncle Cao Zixiao to chase him. This is Xin Changshi's letter of request for help to me, you can take a look at it quickly. ”

Zhu Ling was shocked. "Yuan Zhijun was defeated?"

Cao Ang nodded. "Absolutely." After a pause, he raised his hand again. "I swear in the honor of my father, if there is any half-truth, my father and son will die under the arrows."

After listening to Cao Ang's oath, Zhu Ling did not dare to slack off. He knew that Cao Ang was a filial son, and if the situation was not urgent, he would never swear by his father's life. Cao Cao is now fighting in Yizhou, and the situation is also very dangerous, so there can be no mistakes at this time.

Zhu Ling quickly read Xin Bi's request for help, his eyes flickered, and he was silent. He knew Xinbi's handwriting and confirmed that it was Xinbi's handwriting, but it was just an accident about the content. How proud Xin Bi was, the open and secret battle between him and Chen Gong, Zhu Ling knew very well. Xin Bi asked Chen Gong for help, indicating that the matter was really urgent, and Xin Bi was really panicked. Although he didn't know why Xin Pi was so anxious, Zhu Ling believed in Xin Bi's resourcefulness. If there was the slightest possibility, he would not have made such a decision.

What's more, Cao Ang also said that Yuan Tan has been defeated, Xin Bi's worries have come true, and now is the most critical time, and if there is a slight mistake, it is likely that the whole army will be annihilated.

"General Cao, what do you want me to do?"

"Recall the men and horses that reinforced Yuan Yuanjun, hold the camp, and if you can't hold it, move closer to Rencheng, and I will do everything possible to meet you." Cao Ang said word by word: "General Zhu, Sun's father and son are good at winning in chaos, don't panic at this time, you must be stable." With one heart and one mind, we will have a chance to save the situation. If you are suspicious of each other, there is no reason to be spared. ”

Zhu Ling stared at Cao Ang for a moment and gritted his teeth. "As the general said."
