Chapter 291 Gongsun Zan Conversation with Cao Ren

"I already know about this matter, and I would like to thank Ziyuan for reminding me, Ziyuan might as well stay for two more days, let me treat you well as a landlord?"

When Xu You heard that Gongsun Zan wanted to entertain him, he also wanted to stay and enjoy himself, but then he thought about it, he still had a mission, so he didn't dare to stay, so he said:

"General Gongsun, thank you very much, but you still have important things to do. You must return to Jizhou and report these things to my lord. The general should hurry up and prepare to face Cao Cao's army. If the general can repel Cao Cao, you will be determined by then." I will come to congratulate you."

Xu You understood that if Gongsun Zan could not stop Cao Cao this time, Gongsun Zan might become a general under Cao Cao's command. In the future, he would become an enemy of Jizhou. Another possibility would be to be beheaded by Cao Cao. From then on, there would be no more Gongsun Zan in the world!

Gongsun Zan understood what Xu You meant, if he couldn't resist Cao Cao's army, he might die soon!So he opened his mouth and said to Xu You:

"Don't worry, Ziyuan, I will deploy troops later to guard against Cao Cao's army!"

After hearing this, Xu You nodded, then cupped his hands to Gongsun Zan and said:

"That's very good, then I will take my leave first!"

Gongsun Zan asked the soldiers under his command to send Xu You off. After Xu You left, Gongsun Zan had to pay attention to Cao Cao's threat to him, so he hurriedly said to the generals beside him:

"Tian Kai, Tian Yu, hurry up and organize your troops, strengthen the city gates, prepare the defense equipment, and prepare to fight Cao Cao."

Tian Kai and Tian Yu hurriedly stood up, and they cupped their hands and said:

"The last general takes orders!"

The two retreated after receiving Gongsun Zan's order, heading straight for the city gate and the barracks.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan looked at Yan Gang at the side again, and said:

"Yan Gang, I order you to accept Baima Yicong and be ready to respond at any time."

Yan Gang was the most important general in Gongsun Zan's hands. Gongsun Zan was famous because of his white horse righteousness. The reason why Gongsun Zan had a high status in the hearts of the princes was because of Yan Gang's white horse righteousness.

As the saying goes, "Where righteousness comes, life and death go hand in hand," and everyone rides a white horse and wears a white robe. Those who once beat Hu people ran away when they heard that the white horse was righteous.

It can be said that he is invincible, and now Baima Yicong is going to fight Cao Cao's army, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

Yan Gang stood up when he heard Gongsun Zan's words, and replied with cupped hands:

"My lord, don't worry, the last general will let Cao Jun never come back!"

Gongsun Zan saw that the order was almost done, so he looked at another person and said:

"Zou Dan, I order you to send out spies to find out where Cao Jun is marching now, and report back quickly."

Zou Dan came out and said:

"The last general takes orders!"

After Gongsun Zan arranged all the tasks, he went out of the hall and came to the city wall. He saw the soldiers carrying rolling stones and trees to the city wall.

Time flies, and the spies sent out also came back and informed Gongsun Zan that Cao Cao's army was approaching Youzhou.

Hearing the news, Gongsun Zan hurriedly called Yan Gang again, and said to Yan Gang:

"Cao Cao's army has arrived, wait for you to lead the White Horse Yi Cong, and follow me out of the city to fight!"

Yan Gang was a little excited when he heard the order, because his Baima Yicong had never been defeated in the battle, so of course he was full of confidence.

Gongsun Zan had someone call Zou Dan again, and said to Zou Dan:

"Zou Dan ordered you to lead the army and follow Baima Yi from the rear. When you charge, kill me hard!"

Cao Ren led the army to the outside of Youzhou City and ordered the soldiers to set up camp. At this moment, the gate of Youzhou City opened, and Gongsun Zan followed Yan Gang and Baima Yicong.

Gongsun Zan asked Yan Gang to speak out, and when Yan Gang came not far from Cao Jun's camp, he opened his mouth and shouted at the camp:

"My lord, come here and ask General Cao Jun to come out of the camp to answer!"

Seeing this, Cao Jun's soldiers rushed into the barracks to inform Cao Ren.

"Report!"

Cao Ren was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army. Hearing the report from the soldiers, he hurriedly said:

"Come in!"

At this time, a soldier ran in, knelt down on one knee, and said:

"Report to the general, Gongsun Zan led the army out of the city, and now they are outside our barracks, they shouted, saying that the general should come out of the camp to answer."

When Cao Ren heard that Gongsun Zan had arrived outside his barracks, he said to Xiahou Dun and the others:

"We haven't gone to attack the city yet. I didn't expect Gongsun Zan to be so anxious. Come first. Let us brothers go out to camp for a while, how about Gongsun Zan?"

After hearing Cao Ren's words, Xiahou Dun and the others stood up one after another and said:

"Then let's go and see what Gongsun Zan wants to do!"

A few people got out of the camp, got on their horses, and came outside the camp together. Cao Ren saw that the opposite side was full of white horses and soldiers in white robes. He thought this was Gongsun Zan's most famous white horse righteousness, so he shouted:

"The last general, Cao Ren, came to Youzhou by the order of my lord to persuade General Gongsun to submit to my lord. My lord said that as long as the general is willing to submit, then Youzhou will still be governed by the general in the future!"

Seeing Cao Ren and the others come out, Gongsun Zan drove his horse forward a few steps. Just as he stopped, he heard Cao Ren shout. Gongsun Zan responded:

"I have never had any grievances with Cao Mengde, why did you come to invade my land of Youzhou! If you want me to serve your master, then you must show your strength and let me see how you make me willing to serve you! "

Gongsun Zan knew that only Liu Xuan of Liaodong, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou had the strength to contend for world hegemony.

The rest of the princes, including himself, were somewhat powerless, and Gongsun Zan didn't dislike Cao Cao too much. When the princes were allied, Cao Cao was quite polite to him, and even dared to lead his troops to chase Dong Zhuo who had fled.

Unlike other princes who were all afraid of losing money, losing troops, and greedy for pleasure, Cao Cao was brave and strategic. In Gongsun Zan's mind, it was better to surrender to Yuan Shao than to serve under Cao Cao's command.

But it would be a bit unreasonable to let him surrender without a fight. After all, there are not a few soldiers under his command. Although there are not as many soldiers as those few, there are still more than 20 soldiers!

If you don't fight, you will feel sorry for those brothers who are loyal to you.

Cao Ren laughed when he heard Gongsun Zan's words, and said:

"General Gongsun, it is no longer the world of the great Han. Now the princes stand side by side, and Yuan Shao's wolf ambition has brought Yizhou under his command. When he attacked Yizhou, it proved that the world of the Han has survived in name only. My lord this time Sending me here is just following the trend."

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan understood why Yuan Shao sent Xu You to persuade him to surrender. It turned out that he had already captured Yizhou and hadn't rested, so he only sent Xu You to persuade him to surrender!
