Chapter 393 – Smooth Escape
Kong Rong watched them from the top of the wall while he requested advice from Tong's strategists.
Kong Rong: "Cao Ren has arrived. He doesn't form a battle formation."
Jia Xu: "Plan A. We allow them to reenter the city."
Kong Rong: "We're not fighting them? Not the plan B?"
Jia Xu: "Wrong. We can derive our next moves depending on their response. Plan A-1, we'll retreat everyone to Beihai with Sun Jian if Cao Ren doesn't cause a scene. Plan A-2, we'll assassinate Cao Ren and his aides if he shows a sign of resistance or retaliation. Plan A-3, wage war with them inside the city if they managed to kill Wei You and Sun Jian."
Jia Xu and other strategists had concluded their ploys to deal with Cao Ren's return. As Tong and other civil officers still required more time to improve their economic stability, all advisors agreed that they would continue putting on a politic mask and be friendly with Cao Cao.
