Cao Ren hurried back to Rencheng, it was already dark, and even if he held a torch, he couldn't watch it for long. The city was heavily guarded, and the soldiers looked awe-inspiring and looked very nervous. Cao Ren revealed his identity, but the city guards did not dare to be easily reassured and interrogated repeatedly. Cao Ren galloped back and forth for nearly a hundred miles, and reasoned with Feng Kai for a long time, without even drinking a sip of water, his throat was dry and smoking, and he became dumb after saying a few words.

Pan Zhang was furious, scolded the city soldiers, and threatened to cut off their heads after entering the city, but was stopped by Cao Ren.

"In extraordinary times, it's always good to be cautious." Cao Ren said.

Pan Zhang had no choice but to explain patiently. It was easy to make it clear, put down the drawbridge in the city, opened the city gate, and let Cao Ren and others enter the city. Pan Zhang glared at those soldiers fiercely, and hugged Cao Ren and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Ang and Chen Gong were deliberating, and when they saw Cao Ren returning, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Cao Ren was ashamed, he was defeated by Yan Xing without even seeing Yuan Tan's face. The two had no chance to fight each other at all, Yan Xing didn't even go out in person, only sent more than 100 knights behind the palace to attack, and Cao Ren lost most of his half with one charge.

Although Cao Ang was disappointed, he couldn't blame Cao Ren. There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and it is indeed difficult for Cao Ren to rescue Yuan Tan. He also knew that Cao Ren did not have such a motive, and he, like Chen Gong, hoped that Yuan Tan would die at the hands of Sun Ce, or die in the swamp, even if he was captured by Sun Ce, it would be better than being rescued. Only then will the situation be in his favor. Cao Ren went out of the city to chase after him, but he didn't want to be talked about, saying that he would not save him when he saw death.

Cao Ren felt very powerless, his face was feverish, and he was indescribably ashamed. He heard Cao Cao say that when Yuan Shu was besieged, Sun Ce risked his life to save it, and almost died in battle. Now that Yuan Tan is defeated, waiting for him to save his life, he can only do perfunctory.

is disloyal to his ministers, unrighteous for his friends, how to face the heroes of the world, and how can he be the enemy of Sun Ce?

Cao Ren lowered his head and blamed himself.

Chen Gong glanced at Cao Ang, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He knew what Cao Ang was thinking, but the reality was so cruel, if Yuan Tan didn't die, Cao Ang would not have a chance to master Yanzhou. Cao Ang wants to be loyal to Yuan Tan, he and Cao Ren want to be loyal to Cao Ang, everything is difficult to do both, and they have done their best to do this.

"What did Feng Kai say?" Chen Gong asked.

Cao Ren shook his head. "Gongtai, I'm not good at words, I can't convince Feng Kai."

Cao Ren told him how he persuaded Feng Kai, and Chen Gong listened quietly, his eyes flickering. According to what Cao Ren said, Yuan Tan's entourage knights were killed by Sun Ce one after another, or they fell behind, and Yuan Tan didn't have many people around him, so he would definitely not be able to stop Sun Ce's pursuit, and he would either die or be captured, and the defeat was decided. Zhu Ling has already set up a formation in the west of the city, Xin Bi is in the city, and only Feng Kai is left with a complete system, if Feng Kai can be recruited to Cao Ang's command, and then collect a part of the rout, Cao Ang will have 30,000 more people, not only enough to hold Rencheng, but also the strength to fight with Sun Jian and Sun Ce again.

Compared with Zhu Lingbu, Feng Kaibu has almost no losses, and his strength is only stronger than Zhu Lingbu. His stay is very important, if he is recruited by Sun Ce, Cao Ang will not have any advantage at all, and the next battle will be very difficult, let alone counterattack.

Chen Gong pondered for a long time and gritted his teeth. "General, let's go meet George Sin. We know too little about Feng Kai and don't know what he wants, so it's hard to prescribe the right medicine. ”

Cao Ang hesitated for a moment. "George Sin...... Awake? ”

"Just check it out."

"Good...... bar. Cao Ang stood up and walked towards the west courtyard.

——

Xin Bi lay on the couch, the wound on the back of his head was re-bandaged, and Hua Tuo sat on the side, his face was very bad. Xinbi's attendant lowered his head, and one of his faces was red and swollen, and it seemed that he had not only been scolded by Hua Tuo, but also slapped in the face. Seeing Cao Ang and Chen Gong coming in, Hua Tuo stood up, pointed to Xin Bi's attendants and said, "These wastes are not as good as women, if Xin George dies, they should all be buried together." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Cao Ang smiled bitterly. Since Hua Tuo went to Nanyang Materia Medica, what he was most satisfied with was not the medical skills of Nanyang Materia Medica, nor the pharmacy of Materia Medica, but the nurses of Materia Medica. At first, Hua Tuo was very dissatisfied when he heard that the women who took care of the sick were called scholars, and after visiting them once, his attitude changed drastically, and he decided that those nurses lived up to their names, and their effect on the patient's recovery was enough to be on a par with medical skills and medicines. Xinbi is so careless, he is naturally very angry.

"How is Xin Changshi?"

"Thanks to Dr. Hua's treatment, I finally saved my life." The attendant covered his face, but he was still grateful to Hua Tuo. "Doctor Hua said that he lost too much blood, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he needed to recuperate, and he couldn't work his nerves, otherwise he would inevitably die."

Cao Ang's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Chen Gong in embarrassment. Chen Gong ignored him, knelt down on the seat in front of the couch, attached it to Xin Bi's ear, and whispered: "George, the palace has something to ask for." ”

Xin Bi slowly opened his eyelids and looked at Chen Gong weakly, his voice like a gnat. "It must be a big deal for you to ask Chen Gongtai to ask for it."

"Yes, it's a big deal." Chen Gong bowed slightly, roughly explained the situation reported by Cao Ren, and finally said: "Yuan Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, and General Cao's prestige is not enough to command the generals. ”

Xin Bi's eyes moved, he glanced at Cao Ang on the side, and slowly turned back. "General Cao is lenient and loyal, and he is indeed a young man, but he is not Sun Ce's opponent. Taking advantage of Sun Ce's lack of strength, the whole army retreated to Changyi. ”

"Even if you retreat to Changyi, you have to cooperate with Feng Kai."

Simbi was silent for a moment. "Since I'm here, I guess Yuan Yuanjun's seal and letter talismans have all been taken by you."

Chen Gong made no secret of it. "Yes."

"Where's my long history seal?"

"Yes, too."

Simbi's eyes shrank slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm. Chen Gong smiled but did not speak. The two looked at each other for a while, Xin Bi withdrew his eyes, and said lightly: "Order General Cao to temporarily take the Yanzhou Assassin History, give Feng Kai an order, use the Yanzhou Assassin History Seal, attach my long history seal and private seal, Feng Kai will accept the order." ”

Chen Gong bowed and was about to get up, when Xin Bi's fingers moved. Chen Gong sat back down. "George, what else do you have to advise?"

"Do you know why General Cao is not Sun Ce's opponent?"

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xin Bi with burning eyes.

The corners of Xin Bi's mouth were slightly raised, and a finger was stretched out, pointing at Chen Gong's nose. "You're too late." Xin Bi said word by word: "Although the tyrant is a dragon, he can carry weights, but he can't race, although you have resourcefulness, you can be a king, but you can't be a military strategy." ”

Chen Gong's face suddenly turned red, his eyebrows raised, and he was full of anger. Xin Bi's expression remained unchanged, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker. After a while, Chen Gong slowly calmed down and bowed slightly. "Thank you George for your advice, the palace is engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

Simbi lowered his eyelids and never said a word again.
