Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

"First, take over Chen Gong's Chenliu County. Yuan Shao wants to use Chen Gong's power to recover.

Then Chen Gong will definitely help Yuan Shao resist our army. Then our army can harass Chen Gong and Yuan Shao from the flanks." Zhao Yun analyzed.

"Okay! Let's set off immediately!" Huang Zhong agreed immediately.

So Zhao Yun led his army to Chenliu County.

After receiving the news, Chen Gong's face turned very bad.

According to Chen Gong's original expectation, if he and Yuan Shao joined forces, with the cooperation of Cao Cao, they should be able to hold back Zhao Yun.

As a result, the situation was reversed, Yuan Shao failed, but Zhao Yun successfully occupied Yuan Shao's lair and had the capital to counterattack. This caught Chen Gong off guard.

Chen Gong is worthy of being a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms. He has a smart mind and knows that his advantage is gone now. He should take advantage of Yuan Shao's defeat and quickly withdraw from the battle, otherwise he will be in trouble.

So Chen Gong immediately summoned many of his think tanks to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Gui, Ju Shou and others were shocked by Zhao Yun's victory, and they couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun with new eyes.

Chen Gui said: "Bozhi, what should we do now? Yuan Shao has already failed. If we insist on continuing, we will be courting death."

Chen Gui's concerns were not unreasonable. He was not like Cao Cao, who had powerful generals like Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan under his command, as well as Cao Ang's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He did not need to be afraid of Zhao Yun at all.

"Mr. Yuan Hao is absolutely right. What should we do now?" Xun Yu also agreed.

Guo Tu snorted coldly: "Mr. Yuan Hao, we don't have to be afraid. Although Zhao Yun is strong, he also has weaknesses. As long as we grasp this weakness, he can't do anything to us."

"Oh, Zhongda, tell me about it!" Chen Gui became interested.

Xun Yu also pricked up his ears and listened.

Guo Tu said: "When it comes to military battles, I'm afraid no one in the world can compare to Zixiao. If he were to take action, it would be enough!"

The Zixiao mentioned by Guo Tu is Guo Jia.

After hearing this, Chen Gui frowned and said, "Zixiao is in Nanyang now, I'm afraid it's difficult to deploy him."

"Nanyang is the closest to here. If we send people there for help, Zixiao will probably send troops to rescue us," said Guo Tu.

"Mr. Yuan Hao is right. In this case, please ask Zhongda to lead the troops to Nanyang to seek help." Xun Yu suggested.

"No, I have other things to arrange and can't spare the time!" Guo Tu shook his head and rejected Xun Yu's proposal.

Xun Yu was immediately furious that Guo Tu actually rejected his proposal.

Chen Gui also frowned. It seemed that Guo Tu was determined not to go to Nanyang.

"Zhongda, don't forget that Yuan Shao failed this time and your family was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shu.

If you dare to make a decision on your own, Yuan Shu will definitely kill your entire family." Xun Yu threatened.

Guo Tu's expression changed slightly. He was just being stubborn and didn't really want to disobey Yuan Shao's orders.

"Well, I'm willing to go!" Guo Tu sighed.

"That's good. Zhongda, you should set off quickly to avoid any unnecessary trouble." Xun Yu said with satisfaction.

"Okay! I will set off tomorrow!" Guo Tu said with a bow.

"Well, go ahead!" Chen Gui waved his hand.

After Guo Tu left, Chen Gui asked, "Wen Ruo, do you think Zhong Da can succeed?"

Xun Yu smiled contemptuously: "He is delivering food to Yuan Shao."

Chen Gui also smiled. Guo Tu had been very powerful in the Chen family over the years, and now it was finally his turn to be in trouble.

……

Chen Gong, the governor of Chenliu Prefecture, received Cao Cao's edict and hurriedly called together his advisers for discussion. "Zijing, Cao Mengde is about to send troops again. What should we do?" Chen Gong asked anxiously.

Pang Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "We all know the lord's situation. Now we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible."

"Withdraw?" Chen Gong said in surprise, "If we withdraw now, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

"I know, but if we want to retreat, we must do it secretly, otherwise if Cao Cao finds out, we will be in big trouble," Pang Tong reminded.

Chen Gong nodded and agreed with Pang Tong: "Okay, we will retreat."

"Pass on my order, pack up your belongings immediately and prepare to retreat!" Chen Gong ordered.

Chen Gong quickly packed up his belongings and quietly slipped away through the city gate.

After Chen Gong withdrew his troops, Cao Cao also received the news.

Cao Cao was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Chen Gong would run away. It seemed that Chen Gong was scared and didn't want to fight anymore.

Not only did Chen Gong run away, but generals under Cao Cao, such as Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian, also led their troops to retreat.

The actions of Xiahou Yuan and others could not be hidden from Zhao Yun's eyes, and their every move was exposed to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun immediately sent troops to pursue, but Xiahou Yuan and others were well prepared, and Zhao Yun's pursuers only captured a few hundred prisoners.

Moreover, Xiahou Yuan and others' evacuation route was to take a detour to the east, and Zhao Yun's pursuit direction happened to be different from theirs.

Zhao Yun did not insist, but returned to Xuchang and reported the matter to Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang found out, he was filled with emotion. Chen Gong was indeed cunning, abandoning the city and fleeing.

He is simply a traitor. Fortunately, he had taken precautions, otherwise it would be Cao Ang who suffered heavy losses today.

However, Cao Ang did not blame Zhao Yun. After all, Zhao Yun did not suffer any casualties and did not even capture a single person alive.

"My lord, I have failed in my mission!" Zhao Yun said ashamedly.

Cao Ang patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You did a great job. It's very rare to be able to intercept so many enemy troops. I'm relieved that you're back now."

"My lord, thank you for your praise." Zhao Yun said modestly.

"Fengxiao, if I guess correctly, Xu Shu and his men will soon capture Yecheng," Cao Ang asked.

Jia Xu said respectfully: "My lord, Generals Xu Yuanzhi and Li Dian, together with General Zhang Liao, will surely capture Yecheng within half a month."

"That's good, I'll just wait for good news." Cao Ang said with a smile.

Jia Xu said, "My Lord, would you consider sending more troops to Xuzhou?"

Cao Ang smiled faintly: "Not necessary for now!"

Jia Xu understood that Cao Ang wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Xuzhou families. He had used this tactic before.

The aristocratic families in Yanzhou have all been weakened, and the remaining aristocratic families are not a concern.

The aristocratic families in Jizhou and Qingzhou were similar, so Cao Ang was not worried that they could cause any trouble.

Jia Xu suddenly thought of something: "My lord, the noble families in Yanzhou are ready to make some moves. Do we need to strengthen surveillance?"

"I understand. You continue to pay close attention to the situation of the Yanzhou families, especially the Cao family," Cao Ang advised.

Cao Cao was Cao Ang's old enemy, and Cao Ang had to ensure that Cao Cao had no chance of turning the tables.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jia Xu accepted the order.

Then Jia Xu left the tent.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Ang murmured, "Cao Cao, I hope I can kill you this time!" (End of this chapter)
