Of course, this is not surprising either. With Chen Gong's wisdom, even Cao Cao was convinced, though at first the other party had stormed out because of Bian Rang and the Xuzhou affair.
This made it difficult for Chen Gong to look back. Even though Cao Cao has admitted his mistakes, after all, "once you have seen the vast ocean, other bodies of water are insignificant." With Chen Gong's integrity, he would never bow his head, and if he doesn't, the possibility of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun leaning toward Cao Cao becomes incredibly slim.
On top of that, it seems like Lyu Qiling is still sticking to Zhao Yun. Cao Cao has basically lost hope for these two people, but even if he has given up hope, he still feels unwilling. Now, when there's a chance to make sure if he can't have it, others can't have it either, Cao Cao is still very willing to take action.
