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

Cao Cao felt that he had to stop Cao Ang and not let him succeed, otherwise Yanzhou would definitely be lost.

Chen Gong and his troops rode on fast horses, traveling almost day and night, and finally arrived in Yanzhou.

"Chen Gongtai, we are about to meet the Prime Minister." said Chen Gong's messenger.

Chen Gong nodded slightly. He had been traveling on horseback for some time and his body couldn't take it.

Chen Gong dismounted to rest and drank some water.

Chen Gong's face was pale, clearly a sign of extreme tiredness.

The messenger asked with concern: "Mr. Gongtai, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Chen Gong said with a forced smile.

The messenger looked at Chen Gong's appearance, cursed in his heart, then took out a water bag and handed it to Chen Gong: "Mr. Chen, please drink some water."

Chen Gong took the water bag, gulped down two gulps, and felt much better.

"Chen Gongtai, you have to hold on." The messenger said worriedly.

Chen Gong smiled and shook his head: "I am old, I just need to endure it for a while."

The messenger shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself, why doesn't this old man follow the routine?
Chen Gong was indeed very tired, so he closed his eyes to conserve his energy.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Gong suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" the messenger asked puzzledly.

"Something's wrong." Chen Gong said.

"What's wrong?" The messenger was even more confused.

Chen Gong said: "There's something wrong with the environment around here."

Chen Gong heard faint shouts and screams coming from afar.

"Is there an ambush?" the messenger asked in surprise.

Chen Gong stood up and looked around for a long time, and finally confirmed: "Yes, there is an ambush!"

"What should we do now?" the messenger asked hurriedly.

Chen Gong sneered: "Since someone wants to kill me, how can I satisfy them?"

“Sir, you mean.” The messenger’s eyes widened.

Chen Gong's mouth curled up cruelly: "No matter who he is, if he dares to plot against me, he will pay a heavy price. Pass the order down, break out at full speed."

Chen Gong decided to strike back.

The messenger was immediately frightened and hurriedly advised: "Chen Gongtai, please don't do anything rash."

"Of course I know, but I can't just sit there and wait to die. If you don't want to die with me, then get out." Chen Gong shouted angrily.

The messenger's face turned blue and red, he gritted his teeth in anger, and then ran away.

"Hmph!" Chen Gong sneered.

"My lord! I just discovered an ambush not far ahead!"

After Cao Ang received Chen Gong's report, he was immediately delighted.

"Great, there actually is a trap waiting for me!" Cao Ang was overjoyed. He finally found an opportunity to kill Chen Gong.

Cao Ang ordered: "Pass the order down, all troops muster up, this young master will avenge our previous humiliation today!"

After hearing this, the generals under Cao Ang were very happy, because they had wanted to kill Chen Gong for a long time.

Afterwards, Cao Ang led his 50,000 troops to chase after Chen Gong.

"My lord, the enemy is chasing us!" one of Chen Gong's subordinates said anxiously.

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes, stared at Cao Ang's team, and muttered to himself: "Cao Ang, I hope you won't let me down. I have been waiting for this moment."

"Chen Gongtai, you can't escape!" Cao Ang laughed.

Chen Gong did not answer, but continued to ride his horse. Soon, the two sides collided with each other.

The battle broke out, and a melee ensued between the Yanzhou troops and Chen Gong's troops.

This time, Chen Gong brought 6,000 soldiers and horses. He planned to use his military superiority to wipe out Cao Ang's troops.

"Chen Gongtai, how dare you betray the prime minister!" Cao Ang glared at Chen Gong and shouted.

Chen Gong laughed and said, "Cao Ang, ah Cao Ang. When Cao Ang sent me north, I knew that Cao Ang was on guard against you.

If I had surrendered to Cao Cao, wouldn't I have gone against my original oath to serve my country?

So I chose to leave and hide under Cao Ang's wings. Cao Cao, do you think you can control me forever?
I will leave sooner or later!"

Cao Ang was furious and pointed at Chen Gong and cursed: "You despicable villain! I will kill you."

"Kill me? What right do you have to kill me?" Chen Gong sneered.

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his strength was not as good as Chen Gong's.

"Do you think that I can't do anything to you if you hide in the dark?" Cao Ang said fiercely, "Chen Gongtai, I will let you see how powerful I am."

After saying this, Cao Ang turned around and ran back.

Chen Gong frowned. Could it be that Cao Ang had other tricks?

"Stop them for me. Never let them escape!" Chen Gong ordered the soldiers under his command.

"Yes!" The soldiers took action immediately.

But Chen Gong overlooked one thing, that is, his subordinates were all infantry.

However, Cao Ang's army was composed of cavalry, and their speed was much faster than Chen Gong's infantry.

Cao Ang quickly got rid of Chen Gong's entanglement and joined his cavalry team.

Looking at Cao Ang fleeing into the distance, Chen Gong sighed.

"Alas, I had thought of dying together with Cao Ang. Now I have to make other plans." Chen Gong said bitterly.

Originally, he thought that by taking advantage of his loyalty to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not kill him. At most, he would demote him and exile him, or put him under house arrest.

But now he has failed.

Chen Gong knew that if he continued to stay, he would probably lose his life.

So Chen Gong took the remaining troops and left quickly. He was going back to Luoyang City to report to Cao Ang.

On his way back to Luoyang City, Cao Ang met Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Ang, he frowned and said, "Sir, why are you here? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Fengxian, I misunderstood. I came here for Chen Gongtai."

"Chen Gongtai?" Lü Bu asked curiously, "Don't you have a grudge against Chen Gong? Why did you help him escape?"

Cao Ang explained: "These days, my father and I have been badly bullied by Chen Gong in Yuzhou. That's why I took the risk to rescue him."

"Oh!" Lu Bu suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

"Brother Fengxian, why are you here? Have you also been attacked by Cao Ang?" Cao Ang asked tentatively.

Lu Bu said calmly: "I am going to the battle on the orders of my lord!"

"Congratulations, Brother Fengxian!" Cao Ang bowed and congratulated.

Lu Bu nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then he said, "Sir, do you still want to chase Chen Gong?"

"That's right!" Cao Ang said affirmatively: "Chen Gong is the mortal enemy of our Cao family. We must eradicate him. If we allow Chen Gong to return to Luoyang City, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

"In that case, I won't dissuade you." Lu Bu smiled slightly.

"That's great!" Cao Ang was overjoyed. He now urgently needed a strong armed force to protect his safety. (End of this chapter)
