Qin Song and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, like two foxes.

"Wen Pingsong, have you worked hard?" Pang Tong patted his face and said, "I'm like this, I'm afraid of embarrassing General Sun." ”

Qin Song couldn't help laughing, got up and tidied up his clothes. "Shi Yuan, I'm ashamed of you when you say that. It's okay, Jiang Ziyi is not here, I will act as a lobbyist. You use your brains, I use my mouths. After speaking, he walked out slowly, walked to the tent, stopped again, turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Pang Tong. Shi Yuan, wait a while, you ask someone to call me. ”

Pang Tong nodded knowingly. The two couldn't help but laugh out loud. Qin Song came out of the tent, with his hands behind his back, he swayed to the camp gate, looking at Wei Zhen who was pacing back and forth at the camp gate, before he could speak, he opened his mouth first and yawned.

"Dare to ask who is the foot? Asking to see you in the middle of the night, what's the matter? ”

Wei Zhen was blocked out of the camp gate for a while, and he was anxious. Cao Ang and Chen Gong decided to retreat, but how to withdraw was very particular. What Sun Ce said to him was before sunrise, should he decide before dawn or leave the city before dawn? If it's just a decision, then it's easy to do, and Cao Ang still has enough time to clean up. If it was to leave the city, it would be too hasty, and it would be difficult for them to take away a large amount of baggage in the city. His task is to negotiate and buy time. I didn't expect to see no one at the gate of the camp, and I didn't see anyone at the second class, but I saw that the lights in the camp were bright, and the soldiers were coming and going, looking like they were about to fight.

"In Xia Weizhen, General Cao's command went on horseback, and on the order of General Cao, I came to negotiate with General Sun."

"Which General Sun?" Qin Song looked nonchalant.

"Uh...... Of course, it's a rebellious general, I just met him in Feng Kai's camp, and there is an agreement. ”

"O rebellious general, he is asleep. Wei Jun, please go back, if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow. You see, it's almost dawn, and I really don't have much time for you. Qin Song waved his hand, covering his mouth with his sleeve as he spoke, muttering something.

Hearing the words "it's almost dawn", Wei Zhen's heart was tight, looking at this posture, Sun Ce didn't expect Cao Ang to take the initiative to retreat, he was preparing to besiege the city. Feng Kaibu returned to the camp, it seemed that he was going to let go of the north gate, maybe to withdraw to the camp to rest, after all, they were drenched in rain yesterday, and they couldn't let the soldiers wear wet robes all the time. Go back and change into dry clothes and have a full meal before you can continue to fight.

Of course, there may be another reason: Feng Kai's new subordinates may not be usable, and they are not as reliable as Sun Jian's subordinates.

At this time, a Peng official hurriedly walked over and said a few words in Qin Song's ear, and Qin Song nodded again and again. "Got it, got it, I'll be right away, I won't delay."

The more Wei Zhen listened, the more uneasy he became, and it was difficult to take the initiative to ask, and it was estimated that Qin Song would not be able to agree to him. The night was deep, and dawn was approaching, so he gritted his teeth and arched his hands. "Please inform General Sun that General Cao is willing to accept his suggestion and withdraw from Rencheng."

"General Sun asked you to withdraw from Rencheng?" Qin Song was "surprised". "It's unlikely, isn't it?"

"It's true. If you don't believe it, please inform General Sun, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”

"You ...... Planning to withdraw from Rencheng? When? ”

"Right now." Wei Zhen hated itchy. Hearing Qin Song's meaning, Sun Ce didn't prepare for Cao Ang's retreat at all, he just wanted to besiege Rencheng.

Qin Song was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door, please enter the camp." ”

The guards opened the camp gate, and Qin Song asked Wei Zhen to come in and salute again. Hearing that Qin Song was Sun Jian's military adviser and not Sun Ce's subordinate, Wei Zhen suddenly told Sun Ce and him about the withdrawal of Cao Ang from Rencheng before sunrise. Qin Song looked jubilant, although he didn't say anything, it made people feel that the original plan was to besiege the city.

Qin Song excused himself for instructions, put Wei Zhen aside, and let him suffer for a while, before he came out, saying that Sun Jian reluctantly agreed, and let him enter the city to negotiate with Cao Ang. If Cao Ang goes out of the city before sunrise, he can let him live. After sunrise, if Cao Ang didn't leave the city, then don't go.

Wei Zhen was flustered, he didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly led Qin Song out of the camp. When he left Sun Jian's camp, the east had already revealed the white of the fish's belly, and there was only a short time left before sunrise, and the soldiers in Sun Jian's camp were already in formation, looking ready to go out of the camp to fight.

Wei Zhen didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as he got into the car, he asked the coachman to gallop back to the city.

After listening to Wei Zhen's report, Cao Ang and Chen Gong still wanted to work hard, hoping that Sun Jian could give them a little more time.

Qin Song was very impatient. "I'll be honest with you." Qin Song squinted at Cao Ang, his eyes sarcastic. "General Yuan died because Ling Zun kidnapped Yuan Yao, and there was one of the last orders that General Sun wanted to take Ling Zun's life. Ling Zun is now far away in Yizhou, and Mrs. Yuan has repeatedly asked General Sun to kill you, so that Ling Zun can taste the taste of losing his beloved son. General Cao, Yuan Yuanjun has been captured, and you are now General Sun's target. ”

Cao Ang was embarrassed. He only knew that one of Yuan Shu's testaments was to ask Sun Ce to take Yuan Shao's life, but he didn't expect that there would be such a one. But if you think about it, this is also a fact, the reason why Yuan Shu died was because they robbed Yuan Yao to Yecheng, and it was reasonable to make such a request, at least in line with Yuan Shu's temper. In this way, Sun Ce's sincerity in agreeing to his retreat was indeed not very sufficient.

Cao Ang did not hesitate any longer, and immediately led his subordinates out of the city. They didn't have time to pack much, except for the armor, weapons, and tents they brought with them, and each soldier only brought three days' dry rations. This was prepared yesterday. Cao Ang arranged some carts to bring as much food and ordnance as possible, but the time was too tight, and a large amount of baggage could only be thrown in the city.

Xu Xuan, the prime minister of Rencheng, was very depressed. When he was the Taishou of Runan, he was taken away by Sun Ce. Now he is the prime minister of Ren Cheng, and he was taken away by Sun Ce again. He simply had a fight with Sun Ce. Yuan Tan was captured, Cao Ang abandoned Rencheng, and he didn't want to stay in Rencheng anymore, so he retreated with Cao Ang.

Seeing Cao Ang retreat in a hurry, Qin Song sent a message to the scouts who were watching outside the city, ordering someone to open the south and west gates. Sun Jian had been waiting, and when he saw this, he immediately ordered Huang Gai and Quan Rou to take over Rencheng, and he personally led the battalion to follow Cao Ang and sent him to Rencheng all the time.

Out of the city, Chaoyang had just jumped out of the horizon, Cao Ang grabbed his mount, looked back at Ren Cheng, who was covered with a layer of golden light by Chaoyang, and sighed softly, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. Chen Gong has been planning for so long, just to seize Rencheng and Lu Country for him as a foundation for development, but he didn't expect it to be empty in the end. If it wasn't for being too selfish and estranged from Yuan Tan, but working with one heart and one mind, would it be a different result?

Chen Gong sat in the car, and heard Cao Ang's soft sigh through the car wall, and his heart was indescribably uncomfortable. He lifted the curtain and glanced at the carriage heading west in the distance, where Simbi was on. Cao Ang invited Simbi to accompany him, but Simbi refused. Xin Bi said that he was disheartened and had no intention of making a contribution, so he wanted to go back to his hometown in Yingchuan to recuperate and study behind closed doors. Cao Ang had no choice but to agree.

Chen Gong was surprised and incomprehensible about Xin Bi's decision, which was not the result he expected, and things did not go as he had hoped. First driven out of Rencheng by Sun Ce, and then rejected by Xin Bi, he planned for Cao Ang for so long, but nothing came of it.

Exiting Rencheng, where should Cao Ang go next? Chen Gong was at a loss, indescribably depressed.
