Yuan Tan lowered his eyelids, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.

Before letting Bian Rang go to persuade him to surrender, Xin Bi also had this calm and breezy expression. Bian Rang died under Sun Jian's knife, and the Changyi family was against Sun Jian, everything was as Xin Bi expected, but the anger caused by Bian Rang's death not only burned Sun Jian, but Yuan Tan was also to blame. Others don't know, but Mao Jue, Wang Yu and others are clear, but there are too many people who offend that stinky mouth, so no one stands up to speak for him. If Cao Ang had another accident this time, he would not be able to explain it to the Yanzhou scholars.

Cao Ang's popularity was excellent, and the Dongjun scholars led by Chen Gong were very supportive of him.

The Yingchuan people are too strong. Xun Chen is also under Liu He, and this time Wen Chou pursued Sun Ce, maybe it was Xun Chen's idea, but he probably didn't expect Wen Chou to lose so badly. It stands to reason that this should have been a lose-lose situation. Although Wen Chou has more troops, it is difficult to defeat Sun Ce with Wen Chou alone. Wen Chou is not only a native of Hebei, but also a martial artist, and Xun Chen is not a person all the way, it is normal for Xun Chen to use Sun Ce's hand to frustrate his spirit.

"The success or failure of Zixiu is very important, and I can't be negligent, I will personally go to discuss with Zixiu."

Simbi's eyes flashed slightly. "Envoy, bring the guard camp with you."

Yuan Tan agreed. He temporarily handed over the command to Xinbi, and he left the camp with the entire personal guard battalion with 2,000 horses, and went straight to the Cao Ang camp ten miles away.

Cao Ang was in the camp to discuss with Chen Gong and the others. He met Wen Chou's personal guards earlier than Yuan Tan. He hadn't seen Wen Chou, but he had heard Wen Chou's name and knew what kind of person Wen Chou was. Wen Chou was seriously injured by Sun Ce, which shocked him very much. He didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately convened Chen Gong, Cao Ren and others to discuss the matter.

Chen Gong also had a headache. What he was most worried about was that Sun Ce would come from Hulu, and Cao Ang would be attacked by Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son. However, things did not go according to people's wishes, and Sun Ce came from Hulu, and took the lead, winning more with less, and defeated Wen Chou with 2,000 horsemen in a battle.

Qi County is only more than a hundred miles away from the battlefield, Sun Ce may appear on the battlefield at any time, and the time left for Cao Ang is very limited, Chen Gong must come up with a practical contingency plan. Chen Gong originally had some preparations, but now this situation was not the option he expected. He originally thought that Sun Ce would bring at least some of his foot soldiers, not only would they take longer to arrive at the battlefield, but they would also be a little slower, and they could adjust them according to the actual situation. Now that the situation has changed, and Sun Ce has proved his combat effectiveness with the record of defeating Wen Chou, breaking the prediction that Sun Ce's cavalry is insufficient and cannot fight independently, Chen Gong must reformulate the defense plan.

When Yuan Tan arrived, Chen Gong had already stood in front of the map and pondered for more than an hour. He looked calm, but his sideburns were already drenched with sweat. Cao Ang knew that he was under a lot of pressure, so he gave Wei Zhen a look, motioned for him to accompany Chen Gong, walked out of the big tent by himself, and stopped Yuan Tan at the door.

As soon as he saw Cao Ang's expression, Yuan Tan smiled. "Chen Gongtai is strategizing?"

Cao Ang nodded, stretched out his hand and motioned for Yuan Tan to speak aside. Yuan Tan didn't mind, and he didn't stop after more than twenty steps away from Cao Ang's big tent. "Zixiu, Sun Ce is coming. After two years, we are going to fight him again, are you confident? ”

Cao Ang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If there is, then I am disloyal to my ministers, unscrupulous to my friends, and self-deceiving."

Yuan Tan stretched out his hand and pressed it on Cao Ang's shoulder and shook it gently. "Zixiu is a gentleman. To be honest, I didn't either. I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to meet such an opponent. However, at the moment of the great enemy, we can't retreat without a fight, you and I will work together to fight him again. Even if you lose, you have a clear conscience. ”

Cao Ang's brows furrowed. "Envoy, no Sun Ce is left and right, it may appear at any time, and it is definitely not the best policy for Envoy Jun to come to my camp at this time."

Yuan Tan pointed to the guards outside the camp. "I'm careful, two thousand paces, the sword is unsheathed, the arrow is wound, ready to fight."

Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief. "Even so, you can't take it lightly. Sun Jian is a tiger, no matter how fierce he is, he can only walk on the ground, but Sun Ce is a phoenix, which may fall from the sky at any time. This person is well deserved to be called the little overlord, and there is no trace of the soldiers, and he has the style of the year. ”

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly. Just now Xin Bi also said that Sun Ce is like Xiang Yu, and now Cao Ang also says that Sun Ce is like Xiang Yu, which is really the same as the hero. Although he was nervous, he couldn't show weakness, and said with a strong smile: "No matter how strong Xiang Ji is, won't he be embattled in the next battle, Wujiang will kill himself, and his body will be in a different place?" Sun Jian was surrounded, and Sun Ce rode lightly to help, which was a good opportunity for you and me to hit their father and son hard and succeed in the first battle. Zixiu, I heard that your Cao family is from the Marquis of Pingyang, the Marquis of Pingyang once participated in the battle of Qixia with Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and today he is here to fight Sun Ce, which is a good opportunity for you to revive the Cao family, and I hope you ......"

Cao Ang chuckled softly. "Rest assured, although Ang did not dare to look at the ancestors, he did not dare to insult the ancestors. Please give the order of the envoy, and Ang will fight to the last man. ”

Yuan Tan sighed lightly: "With Zixiu's words, why should I worry?" Zixiu, I'm going to attack before Sun Ce arrives, you hold the camp and don't let Sun Jian escape. Although Sun Ce was brave, he was unable to attack the position without the cooperation of his footmen. Hit Sun Jian's department hard, we are the victors......"

"Is that really what you think?"

Chen Gong didn't know when he walked out of the big tent, standing at the door of the tent and looking at Yuan Tan and Cao Ang. Yuan Tan was surprised, he looked at Chen Gong, then at Cao Ang, and smiled dumbly: "Gongtai, your ear power is so good, you can hear what I say so far away?" ”

Chen Gong walked over slowly. "Envoy, it's not that my ears are good, it's that your voice is loud."

Yuan Tan was embarrassed, touched his chin, and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say. Chen Gong stood still in front of Yuan Tan and looked at Yuan Tan quietly. "If you don't take it, you will be blamed. The Yuan family and the Sun family are not fighting for a momentary victory, but the destiny of heaven.

Yuan Tan raised his eyebrows, a little understood, but he didn't understand too much. He looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Please also ask the public station to explain in detail." ”

"General, I heard that some people in Wu will advocate Shun to avoid Danzhu, Danzhu, the son of Yao, which means the son of Chang'an. Shun, the descendant of the phoenix, also has the heterogeneity of double pupils. After Xiang Yu Naishun, people weigh pupils, and now Sun Ce calls himself a little overlord and a phoenix bird, what does he want to do, isn't the general clear? ”

Yuan Tan held his breath, suspicious in his heart. Chen Gong: What does this mean? He forced a smile and said, "Gongtai, what do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say, you can let Sun Jian go, but you can't let Sun Ce go." Chen Gong said word by word: "Sun Jian is just a bait, Sun Ce is the real goal of the envoy, the importance cannot be wasted, the cart must not be reversed, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will never come." Such an important matter, did Xin George not make it clear to the envoy, or did the envoy feel that Cao Fujun was not enough to conspire? ”
