"If you can get a son and be in harmony, the sail will be like a tiger with wings. Why worry about the failure of a big thing? Why fear the heroes in the world!"

After Yang Fan helped Taishi Ci up, he smiled heroically.

"The lord is praised, and I feel guilty for accepting it!"

Taishici quickly said modestly.

"Brother Kong, can you tell me in detail about the Qingzhou war? How did you lose it?"

After Yang Fan asked everyone to sit down, he immediately asked Kong Rong.

"I'll talk about this matter, it has to start two months ago..."

Seeing Kong Rong's expression was sad, Chen Gong replied immediately.

It turned out that two months ago, just when Yang Fan was fighting with the Xianbei people in the north, Cao Cao, who was far away in Yanzhou, was also ready to move. He ordered his generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to enter Jibei Kingdom with 50,000 troops. At that time, there were already wars everywhere in Qingzhou, and Yellow Turban bandits were everywhere. Kong Rong was tired of dealing with it. Even though Wu'an country had the ability to destroy the bandits, it was hard to support it. As soon as he arrived here, a rebellion occurred in that place. As soon as he left this place, the bandits in this place were revived, which was so tired that he was powerless.

Finally, Cao Cao sent someone to send a letter to Kong Rong, saying that he could lead troops into the country and eliminate the traitors for him.

When Chen Gong heard this, he felt that this matter was quite strange and immediately opposed it: "Lord, Cao Mengde is a tiger and wolf, so he should not lead his troops into the country."

While Kong Rong was hesitating, he suddenly heard Chen Gong’s objection. He asked in confusion: “Public Terminal, I can no longer suppress the rebellion in Qingzhou. If Cao Cao is not allowed to lead troops into the country at this time, what should I do in Qingzhou?”

"The land of Qingzhou is surrounded by water on three sides. The bandits can escape so quickly, but in fact, with the help of the waterway, we can build warships and patrol along the coast, and we will definitely be able to eliminate the rebellion."

Chen Gong made a plan.

"But now the people of Qingzhou are living in poverty, the people are suffering from so much, and the treasury has no extra money and food. What if it does?"

Kong Rong was obviously a little moved and asked hesitantly.

"This matter is not difficult. The lord has old age, Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and Yang Fan, the governor of Bingzhou. Moreover, these two states have always been rich. The lord can come to borrow money to build a warship!"

Chen Gong replied.

Then Kong Rong followed Chen Gong's opinion and sent people to Jizhou and Bingzhou. After hearing Kong Rong's difficulties, Yuan Shao promised on the spot that money could be borrowed, but the seafood from Qingzhou must be exchanged for it. At this time, most people in Qingzhou made a living by fishing. If they gave the seafood to Yuan Shao, wouldn't they cut off their own way? Chen Gong guessed Yuan Shao's sinister intentions at that time. Later, when Kong Rong's envoy came to Bingzhou, it was a battle between Yang Fan and the Xianbei people. The matter involved a huge amount, and Xun Yu and others did not dare to make decisions without authorization. At that time, they were trying to consume others and strengthen their own ideas, so they suppressed the matter. When they were about to report to Yang Fan, Kong Rong and the others came.

The people of Qingzhou complained and the matter became more and more serious. Kong Rong had to convene the generals again to discuss the matter and discuss the measures.

"Lord, you must not let Cao Cao lead his troops into the country!"

Chen Gong advised anxiously.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Kong Rong spread his hands and asked.

"The war broke out in Bingzhou, so Yang Bingzhou ignored us. We could wait or send someone to borrow money from Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yizhou and other places."

Chen Gong said.

"How can we borrow that easily? Not to mention whether the lord can borrow it or not, even if we borrow money, how should we transport it back? Our troops are limited now and we can't even protect ourselves. How can we transport money elsewhere?"

Wu Anguo said angrily.

"this......"

At this time, Chen Gongzhichi's weakness was exposed, and there was no solution for a moment.

"Since there is no good plan for the public service, I will welcome Cao Cao into the country!"

Kong Rong had no choice but to agree to Cao Cao's request and let him lead his troops into the country to wipe out the rebellion.

But the Yellow Turban Rebellionists who were active in Qingzhou seemed to have reached some agreement with Cao Cao in advance. Since Cao Cao entered the country, they have been in a state of power and occupied various cities. Finally, when Kong Rong discovered something was wrong, only Beihai City in Qingzhou was still under Kong Rong's control, and the rest of the cities were all in Cao Cao's hands.

"Public Territory, what should I do? Cao Amanming was to fight against the thief, but actually to invade our Qingzhou territory!"

Kong Rong said in horror.

"Lord, we only have two ways to go at this time. First, surrender to Cao Cao and give up Qingzhou; second, leave Qingzhou and leave with those who are willing to leave, and find another place!"

Chen Gong replied concisely.

"Then I'll choose the first one!"

Kong Rong said.

"If Cao Cao surrenders, you may be safe in the past two years. However, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature and his lord is very popular with the people in Qingzhou. In the future, Cao Cao will definitely harm his lord in order to make Qingzhou stable. You should think twice!"

Chen Gong advised anxiously.

"Then...then I'll choose the second way, but where are we going?"

Kong Rong was shocked when he heard this and asked immediately.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Jizhou are the same as each other. In order to obtain Jizhou, he also used improper means and should not go anywhere else; Youzhou is a good place, but at this time Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou were fighting each other, and the war was in chaos. Even if we were just a few of us, we would not be able to achieve great things."

Chen Gong said with a wry smile on his face.

"What about Xuzhou? Let's go and surrender to Tao Qian!"

Kong Rong asked.

"Tao Qian is old and dare not be enemies with Cao Cao. If we go, wouldn't it be that sheep will give her tiger's mouth?"

Chen Gong spread his hands and replied.

"Where is Yuan Shu from Yuzhou and Liu Biao from Jingzhou?"

Seeing that Xuzhou was unable to go, Kong Rong asked again.

"Liu Biao is a dog who has always had no ambitions. From that alliance to challenge Dong, he could see through the leopard, and it was difficult to achieve great things. As for Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, he had a close relationship with Cao Cao since he was a child, so we could not go."

Chen Gong analyzed.

"This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Where should we go?"

Kong Rong asked anxiously.

"Lord, there is actually one place to go in the world!"

Wu Anguo, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke out.

"where?"

Kong Rong asked hurriedly.

"Bingzhou!"

Wu Anguo replied concisely.

"What do you mean by Gongtai?"

Kong Rong was stunned when he heard this and asked immediately.

"What Anguo said is good, and I am just about to think that the lord recommends Bingzhou. There are several benefits for us to go to Bingzhou. First, the lord has an old age with Yang Bingzhou, and he will probably take us in; second, Yang Bingzhou has always had a very good reputation and is quite famous among the people, which is our excellent place to go; third, the people in Bingzhou are healthy and have strong military strength, which shows that Yang Bingzhou has a great goal, which is just enough to show our ambitions."

Chen Gong analyzed.

"An Guo also agrees to go to Bingzhou?"

Kong Rong hesitated for a moment and asked.

"yes!"

Wu Anguo replied.

"But there are Cao Cao's soldiers everywhere, how should we go?"

Kong Rong suddenly thought of his situation and asked worriedly.

"If you can't do it by land, then we will take the water route, take a detour to Jizhou, and go from Jizhou."

Chen Gong replied.

"Okay, that's it!"

Kong Rong gritted his teeth and said at last.

Then Kong Rong and others escaped from the North Sea and were about to take a boat on the beach, but they met Taishi Ci who was about to go north. After several people told their respective destinations, Taishi Ci agreed to Kong Rong's request and escorted them to the north together.

In the Cao army camp outside Beihai City, Cao Cao watched Kong Rong and the others leave, but did not send anyone to stop him.

"Lord, Kong Rong is deeply loved by the people in Qingzhou. Our move will undoubtedly let the tiger return to the mountain."

Cheng Yu said.

"Zhongde, some things cannot be looked at just on the surface. Kong Rong and Yang Fan have an old age, so I can't kill him."

Cao Cao played with the jade in his hand and chuckled.

"Yang Fan is in Bingzhou. Now our army has two states. What are he afraid of?"

Cheng Yu said with confusion.

"Haha, the Yang family army is famous all over the world, how can our army be compared? Now Qingzhou has newly established, and we still need to take charge of the people's livelihood plan. After a few years, we will definitely be able to compete with the Yang family army. However, we still need to endure now. Yuan Shao from the north is a tiger looking at Youzhou, and Yuan Shu from the south is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has been waiting for an opportunity to spy on Tao Qian's Xuzhou. There are three princes in the Central Plains. We cannot get into evil with Yang Fan at this time!"

Cao Cao had a calm face and his words were reasonable and well-founded. Obviously, he had just won Qingzhou and was not blinded by victory, and he always remained calm.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Cheng Yu asked.

"Remain and wait for the outcome of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu's fight."
