Chapter 658 The thief's heart is not dead

Gao Gan set out with his men on the road to escape, and although he had thought that this road might be very difficult, what he did not expect was that he would never be able to complete this journey.

Not long after he left with his people, Tai Shici led his sergeants to chase him to the place where he had stayed before.

Soon, Tai Shi Ci and the others confirmed the direction in which Gao Gan and the others fled.

After discovering the traces of Gao Gan and others, Tai Shici led people to continue the pursuit without a trace of hesitation.

Although Dian Wei told him to give him three days, Tai Shi Ci didn't want to delay for so long.

During this time, based on what he heard in Yecheng and what he summarized himself, he knew that Guo Jiake, who stayed in Yecheng, was a very great talent.

Since under his arrangement, Dian Wei has caught up with the lord, then the second and third groups of people sent by Guo Jia must not be far from here.

If he pursues Gao Gan for three days, when he returns to Xingtang again, he may only face a general order left by the lord and others to arrange for him to return to Yecheng.

In that case, if he comes out this time, it will be meaningless.

Although at the beginning, protecting the lord was his main task, but when Dian Wei appeared, this burden was automatically transferred to Dian Wei.

And he reverted to becoming a general under the command of the lord, and although there will not be much fighting in the state this time, it should be difficult to avoid small-scale battles.

After all, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others from the state side beat Xianbei too badly this time, and Xianbei people will definitely not give up like this.

They can't organize a large-scale attack, but they will certainly make arrangements for a small-scale attack.

Since he left Liu Xuan's side, he hadn't fought on the battlefield for a long time, and to be honest, his hands had long been a little itchy.

So this time, he will definitely not let go of this good opportunity.

In addition, Gao Gan and the others were in a hurry when they left, many of them were not equipped with horses at all, and their subordinates were now all cavalry of Qingyishui.

Using cavalry to pursue a group of routs on foot, if it takes three more days, even if the other party is completely annihilated, Tai Shici himself is embarrassed to say it!

The sound of hurried horses' hooves resounded across the land, startling countless birds in the forest, and while Tai Shici was chasing Gao Gan, a team of men and horses was cautiously crossing the hinterland of Jizhou.

The leader of this team is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, since he was defeated by Guan Yu and others, Lu Bu has completely lost his last foothold.

Fortunately, his military advisor Chen Gong did not give up on him, and even under Chen Gong's planning, all his family members were rescued, which made Lu Bu have a lot less worries.

But deep in Lu Bu's heart, he is still unwilling, he doesn't want to sink like this, he wants to make more of his voice in this troubled world.

Of course, Chen Gong and Lu Bu also have the same idea, heroes are created in troubled times, and although it is the sorrow of ordinary people to be born in troubled times, it is the best opportunity for them.

Don't look at them now, they have lost their only place to live, but who knows if after a while, they will be able to get back up again and continue to join the crowd!

Therefore, after several deliberations, Chen Gong decided to persuade Lu Bu to defect to his old enemy Cao Cao.

Although Liu Yuan was born in this life, some things are still running along the trajectory of history.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cao Cao chose to join forces with Wang Yun in order to assassinate the biggest national thief in the eyes of people at that time.

He borrowed the Seven Star Treasure Sword from Wang Yun's hand and planned to kill Dong Zhuo while he was taking a lunch break, but Dong Zhuo accidentally discovered it.

Cao Cao had to escape from Luoyang in order to survive, and then he still met Chen Gong, who was a small official at the time, and still met Lu Bohao's family, who was killed by him by mistake.

History seems to have returned to the original point during that time, after Cao Cao accidentally killed Lu Bohao's family, Chen Gong was completely chilled by him, and he resolutely left Cao Cao's side.

After a period of searching, Chen Gong surrendered to Lu Bu's command.

Originally, he thought that from now on, he and Cao Cao would never have any form of intersection except for meeting each other on the battlefield!

But the current situation has forced him to reconsider.

At this time, Liu Yuan's power had surpassed all the princes of the Han Dynasty, and even reached the point where no prince dared to confront Liu Yuan alone.

And he and his lord Lu Bu, after experiencing the previous battle of Yangping, must have become a thorn in the side of Liu Yuan in Jizhou.

Then if they want to find a place where they can settle down, they must go to a prince who absolutely cannot coexist with Liu Yuan.

And the power of this prince can't be too bad, otherwise once Liu Yuan puts pressure on that prince and asks the other party to hand over himself and his lord, it is very likely that they will be betrayed by the new lord without hesitation!

And the princes with such strength, at this time, there were only three people in the entire Han Dynasty, and the most famous of them was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of Xuzhou.

But Chen Gong hated this person in his heart, he always thought that this person was a hypocrite, if it was an emergency, Liu Bei would definitely betray them without blinking!

So Liu Bei was directly excluded from Chen Gong, and the only ones left were Cao Cao, who occupied Qingzhou, and Sun Jian, who occupied Jiangdong.

Originally, Chen Gong planned to persuade Lu Bu to defect to Sun Jian, but he thought about it and gave up this idea, after all, the relationship between Sun Jian and Liu Yuan was too vague.

Until now, Sun Jian has not fully shown that he has stood on the opposite side of Liu Yuan.

There were even times when under the rule of the Sun family, the merchants of Jizhou could still enjoy certain privileges.

In case there is a discord between Sun Jian and Liu Yuan, but they are acting, then he and the lord Lu Bu will not fall into the net!

In the case that Sun Jian and Liu Bei were both excluded by Chen Gong.

So now the only person they can defect to is Cao Cao, although he has conflicts with Cao Cao, but Chen Gong still admires Cao Cao's ability.

He knew that Cao Cao was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to send people under the fence, and since he had already raised the banner of fighting Liu Yuan, he would definitely not give up easily.

The little contradiction between himself and the other party has already become insignificant in the face of Liu Yuan's strong pressure.

Coupled with the fierce combat power of his lord, Cao Cao will definitely welcome their arrival!

Chen Gong, who had made up his mind, told Lu Bu his thoughts.

Lu Bu had already secretly made up his mind that he would be the master of the battle in the future, and in terms of strategy, he would completely obey the advice of the military advisor.

Since the military advisor now proposed to defect to Cao Cao, he didn't have any opinions, and Lu Bu still had a little bit of caution in his heart.

That is, when he has gained a firm foothold under Cao Cao, he will definitely not sink like this.

As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely take advantage of the situation, but only he knows who will be replaced by him when the time comes!
