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

Guo Jia took Pang Tong and others away from Chang'an, preparing to set up a new research institute.

"My lord, although Chen Gong has temporarily left Chang'an, his family is still in Chang'an. I believe he will come back.

"Why don't you send an envoy to Chang'an to invite Chen Gong?" Jia Xu reminded.

Cao Ang thought it made sense: "Yuan Hao's words make sense. Fengxian, you will set out for Chang'an today and tell Chen Gong what I mean.

As for the specific details, we will discuss it in detail when you come back."

"Yes!" Lu Bu agreed respectfully.

"Okay, let's adjourn the court." Cao Ang announced the end of the court.

After leaving the palace, Lu Bu went straight to Xuzhou. He had to hurry.

Cao Ang looked at Lü Bu's receding figure and murmured, "I hope this battle in Fengxian will be successful."

In Yanzhou, in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao summoned all the generals.

"My lord, now that Cao Ang has conquered the Xianbei, most of the Xianbei people have surrendered to Cao Ang. The situation of our army has become more serious." Xiahou Yuan hurriedly told Cao Cao the current situation.

Cao Cao's face looked solemn. He had noticed this change during this period of time.

Cao Cao originally wanted to use the Xianbei to tie up Cao Ang's military forces, but he did not expect that after Cao Ang conquered the Xianbei, he actually used the Xianbei as his own minions.

The Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, and their large numbers make them an absolutely powerful fighting force.

Cao Cao cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Why is Cao Ang so lucky that he actually conquered the Xianbei people?"

"My lord, we must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise once the opportunity passes, we will be in danger." Xun You suggested.

Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu and Dian Wei also agreed. They all wanted to win the battle quickly and get rid of Cao Ang.

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and finally made a decision: "Send a message to all troops, the whole army will rest for three days. After three days, attack Xuzhou."

"Yes, sir!" Cao Cao's order made all the armies cheer.

"My lord, I suggest that we ask Mr. Ju Shou to persuade Chen Gong to surrender to our army.

If we can persuade Chen Gong to lead his troops to Yanzhou, our army will be sure to win." Jia Xu suggested.

Chen Gong was an intelligent scholar, and Jia Xu wanted to use Chen Gong for Cao Cao.

Cao Ang thought about it and felt that this was a feasible approach.

So Cao Ang ordered someone to deliver a letter to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was studying how to resolve the situation in Yanzhou. When he received Cao Ang's letter, he was overjoyed.

He didn't expect that Cao Ang would actually write to him.

Chen Gong hurriedly opened Cao Ang's letter.

The content of the letter was not long, it mainly expressed Cao Ang's concern for Chen Gong's recent situation.

He also proposed to help Chen Gong move his family, and even suggested that Chen Gong take his wife and children to settle in Youzhou or Xiliang.

Chen Gong was extremely excited. He now had a daughter and grandson in Xuzhou, and he couldn't just abandon them.

Cao Ang's actions made Chen Gong feel deeply moved. Cao Ang really cared about him, unlike Lu Bu who only said nice things.

"My lord, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. How can I ever repay you for your kindness?" Chen Gong burst into tears.

Chen Gong thought about it carefully and felt that Cao Ang was expressing his loyalty and wanted to use him to consolidate the rule of Yanzhou.

Chen Gong did not refuse this. He remembered Cao Ang's kindness and would repay him when he had the chance.

Chen Gong immediately expressed to Cao Ang his willingness to lead his soldiers to surrender to Yanzhou.

Cao Ang was very happy and immediately sent someone to inform Lu Bu of the news. After Cao Cao received the news, he sneered and said, "Chen Gong, Chen Gong.

I treated you with such courtesy, but I didn't expect you to betray me. If that's the case, I will kill you with my own hands."

Cao Cao immediately sent people to track down Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is now on his way to Yanzhou. He cannot let Cao Cao know that he is now desperate, otherwise Cao Cao will kill him without hesitation.

"Chen Gongtai, your good days are over." When Lu Bu learned that Chen Gong had already set off, he showed a ferocious smile, and then led his army out of the city to meet the enemy.

Cao Ang's messenger brought Chen Gong's words, and Cao Cao laughed out loud: "Well, you came. I have long wanted to meet this Chen Gong."

"The Prime Minister is wise!" Xiahou Yuan and others flattered him.

After saying this, Cao Cao sat on the carriage and prepared to meet Chen Gong's troops.

"Prime Minister, I am willing to follow you." Xiahou Yuan volunteered.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Hao, you will be in charge of commanding this war."

Xiahou Yuan happily agreed.

Cao Ang's messenger continued, "Prime Minister, Chen Gong's messenger has one more thing to say. I hope you will let him go."

Cao Cao frowned. There must be something wrong when Chen Gong said that.

"Prime Minister, Chen Gongtai is a famous scholar in Yingchuan after all. If he is killed, it will inevitably damage the majesty of heaven." Xun You said worriedly.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let them go back."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Cao Ang's envoy left with tears of gratitude.

Xun You sighed and said, "Prime Minister, you are letting the tiger return to the mountain."

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The responsibility of the Han Dynasty rests on Cao Ang's shoulders.

If Cao Ang cannot even deal with a mere counselor, then he is not worthy of being a king.

And Cao Ang's actions this time were also very strange. If Chen Gong is killed, I'm afraid Cao Ang will have other ideas. It's better to keep Chen Gong for the time being."

Xun You nodded slightly, he also agreed with Cao Cao's idea.

"Pass the order down, let everyone rest here for three days, and then attack Xuzhou after three days!" Cao Cao ordered the people around him.

"Follow your orders!
Cao Cao was sitting in the car and suddenly asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you think Cao Ang's purpose is?"

Xun You remained silent for a moment before he said, "Prime Minister, I dare not speak rashly. But judging from the actions of the lord, it should not be as simple as just recruiting Chen Gong."

"Oh? Then tell me, what is Cao Ang's purpose in doing this?" Cao Cao showed great interest in Xun You's speculation.

Xun You smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have known you for a long time, I still cannot fully understand your character.

My lord is an emperor, and he thinks carefully before doing anything.

I really can't guess what my lord wants to do.

But one thing is certain, that is, the lord will never retreat easily."

Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, your analysis is correct. Cao Ang will not withdraw his troops easily. There must be some conspiracy here."

“Prime Minister, if Cao Ang really has some conspiracy, it must be related to Yuan Shu.

I think Cao Ang must want to take advantage of the time when our army's food supplies are burned to attack Jizhou." Xiahou Yuan analyzed.

Cao Cao said with cold eyes: "I want to see what method Cao Ang has to conquer Jizhou."

Yanzhou is far from Jizhou, so Cao Cao is not sure about Cao Ang's specific arrangements. But Cao Ang's ambition is exposed. (End of this chapter)
