Hearing the fighting spirit in the distance, Chen Gong stopped and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Maybe it was a mistake to let Cao Ang go to Zhu Ling's camp. Sun Ce did not hesitate to take risks and attracted Yuan Tan's main force. Wasn't it just for Sun Jian to create an opportunity to attack Zhu Ling's camp? He just rushed to Yuan Tan's central army from Rencheng, and Sun Jian launched an attack, obviously because he had planned it. Sun Jian is known as a tiger in Jiangdong and is brave and good at fighting. Can Zhu Ling stop him and ensure Cao Ang's safety?

Although he was very nervous, Chen Gong still speeded up his pace. He wanted to take Xin Pi away before Zhu Ling was defeated. Yuan Tan was already defeated and could only rely on Cao Ang to support the crisis. Now is a good opportunity for Cao Ang to expand his strength. If Yuan Tan dies, Cao Ang even has the opportunity to replace Yuan Tan in charge of Yanzhou.

To fight against Sun Ce, every force is useful. As Yuan Tan’s confidant and the best of Ru Ying’s scholars, if Xin Pi could get his support, Cao Ang’s path would be more solid.

Chen Gong speeded up and came to the front of the Central Army camp. The Central Army was already in mid-air, and only a limited number of soldiers were left to guard the camp. Seeing Chen Gong coming, the soldiers turned around and wanted to report. Chen Gong shouted in a hurry: "The situation is urgent, how can you report it? Wasting time. Open the door and I will go in alone."

Seeing that Chen Gong, who had always been elegant and calm, was angry, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate did not dare to object and opened the camp gate. Chen Gong entered the camp alone, trotting all the way, and heading straight to the central army tent. He was a scholar and did not exercise much. Although he was only two or three hundred steps away from the camp gate to the central army tent, it was not easy for him. He was panting halfway through running and couldn't continue. Chen Gong pressed his ribs that were painful due to rapid breathing with one hand, pressed his beating heart with the other hand, barely supporting him, and ran more than a hundred steps to come to Xinpi's tent.

"Where is Changshi Xin? I want to see him immediately!"

The guards in front of the tent did not dare to neglect and immediately turned around and entered the tent. Chen Gong followed in. As soon as he entered the tent, he heard a scream.

"Changshi-Changshi-"

Chen Gong was shocked, pushed the guard away and grabbed Xinpi's couch. Xinpi was lying on the couch. The soft cloth pillow made under his head was soaked with blood, his face turned pale, his eyes were closed, and he didn't move.

Chen Gong took a breath of air conditioning and quickly covered his hand on Xinpi's forehead. His forehead was a little cold, but there was still temperature. Chen Gong put his finger on Xinpi's nose again, and nothing was poking out. In desperation, he pressed his ears against Xinpi's heart, but what he heard was his heartbeat. Chen Gong was anxious, pulled the guard over and shouted sternly: "Hurry up, listen to whether the chief clerk still has a heartbeat."

The guard did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly put his ear on Xinpi's heart and listened. After a while, he heard a faint heartbeat and was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, Mr. Gongtai, there is a heartbeat."

Chen Gong was so angry that he cursed. "Nai Gong naturally had a heartbeat. I'll ask you if the Changshi had a heartbeat."

The guard then realized that he had a mistake in his tongue and hurriedly said, "What I am talking about is Xin Changshi. Xin Changshi has a heartbeat, although it is weak, it still has it."

"That's good, don't delay, send Changshi to the city immediately."

The guard was stunned for a moment. "Go to... the city?"

Chen Gong was furious and raised his hand and slapped him in the face. "Envoy Yuan was defeated, his life and death were uncertain, and the Changshi was in danger. How could he treat him if he didn't go to the city? You stupid guy, you don't know how you served people like this. If the Changshi fails, you won't be able to survive."

The guard then realized that he was the clan of Xinpi, and his mission was to serve Xinpi and ensure the safety of Xinpi. Now that such a big thing happened, he was seriously dereliction of duty. If Xinpi died, the head of the family would definitely not spare him. At this moment, he did not care whether he complied with the rules or not. Rescuing Xinpi was the only important thing.

The guard turned around and asked someone to drive Xinpi's car. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Gong found Xinpi's seal and pulled it down, and ordered people to collect all the documents in Xinpi's tent and bring them all into the car. He turned around and ran to Yuan Tan's tent next door, pushed away the guards who had blocked them, rushed into the tent, swept left and right, shouted: "Take all the documents and talismans away." He turned around and came out of the tent, and said: "Transfer the order to prepare oil and fire-induced objects. Once the situation is wrong, he will burn all the supplies and cannot be left to Sun Ce."

Yuan Tan's guards were stunned.

——

Zhu Ling was commanding the battle. He was a little surprised when he heard that Cao Ang came to pay his respects. However, he did not hesitate for a long time and immediately asked someone to invite Cao Ang to the camp and come directly to the formation. At the same time, he ordered the personal guards to prepare for response.

There have been too many changes in just half a day, and he is a little confused about the situation. No matter what news it is, it is better than no news.

Cao Ang rushed over with a personal guard. He did not wear a helmet, only a headscarf on his head, no knife on his waist, no weapons in his hand, only a roll of paper. The personal guards behind him were similar, and he did not carry weapons, so he should have been placed at the camp gate.

Zhu Ling secretly felt ashamed that he was guarded against Cao Ang, but Cao Ang himself disarmed himself first, and he was indeed a gentleman open-minded.

Cao Ang rushed to Zhu Ling, bowed urgently, and before Zhu Ling could return the gift, he handed over the paper roll in his hand. "General Zhu, Yuan Envoy was defeated by Sun Ce and was retreating. He had just passed by the west gate of Rencheng, and there were only a few cavalry left by his side. The situation was very critical. I couldn't react for a moment and didn't have time to save him. My uncle Cao Zixiao had already sent him to chase him. This is the letter of help from Changshi Xin, please read it quickly."

Zhu Ling was shocked. "Is Yuan Envoy defeated?"

Cao Ang nodded. "It's true." He paused and raised his hand again. "I swear with my father's reputation. If there is any falsehood, my father and son will die under the arrows."

After hearing Cao Ang's oath, Zhu Ling did not dare to neglect it. He knew that Cao Ang was a filial son, and the situation was not urgent, so he would never swear his father's life. Cao Cao is fighting in Yizhou now, and the situation is also very dangerous, so there is no mistake at this time.

Zhu Ling quickly read Xinpi's request for help, his eyes flashed, and he pondered without saying a word. He knew Xinpi's handwriting and confirmed that it was Xinpi's handwriting, but he was surprised by the content. How proud Xinpi was, Zhu Ling was very clear about the open and secret struggle between him and Chen Gong. Xinpi asked Chen Gong for help, which showed that the matter was really urgent, and Xinpi was really panicked. Although he didn't know why Xinpi was so anxious, Zhu Ling believed in Xinpi's wisdom. If there was a slight possibility, he would not make such a decision.

What's more, Cao Ang also said that Yuan Tan has been defeated and Xin Pi's worries have come true. Now is the most critical time. If there is a slight mistake, it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out.

"General Cao, what do you want me to do?"

"Recalling the troops who reinforce Yuan Envoy Yuan, guard the camp. If you can't defend it, you will approach Rencheng. I will do everything possible to meet you." Cao Ang said word by word: "General Zhu, the Sun family and his son are good at winning in chaos. You and I must be steady at this time. You and I have the same heart and virtue, and we will definitely have a chance to save the situation. If we are suspicious of each other, there will be no reason to be spared."

Zhu Ling stared at Cao Ang for a moment, gritted her teeth. "Just as the general said."
