Bab 404: 380

```

After Guan Yu had Cao Cao's corpse properly arranged in a coffin, he ordered Zheng Jun and Guan Ping to lead five thousand troops to garrison Pengcheng, while he personally escorted Cao Cao's body to report back.

On the other side, Taishi Ci helplessly watched the direction Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun had left in. Neither of them was his match, but in his urgency to capture them, it was not easy, especially since Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan had joined forces. Taishi Ci could only watch as they got away.

When Taishi Ci and Gan Ning regrouped and saw that Taishi Ci came back empty-handed, Gan Ning sighed and said, "I knew it, you couldn't handle it either."

"It's mainly because you let Xiahou Dun go; he came to me. Otherwise, if we fought for a few more hours, I would surely have captured Xiahou Yuan," said Taishi Ci, who was familiar enough with Gan Ning to know he wasn't one for formalities, so he responded with annoyance.
