Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

On the seventh day after Chen Yang was injured, in Cao Jun's camp far away from Xudu.

"Prime Minister, the eldest son has an urgent message!" Guo Jia hurriedly walked into Cao Cao's main account.

Cao Cao was looking at the map of their marching and fighting, and suddenly heard Guo Jia's words, raised his head slightly, and took the urgent letter.

There are two urgent letters sent this time, one of which is the portrait of the man, and the other is the content of the letter.

Cao Cao first opened the contents of the letter, read it carefully for a while, and suddenly his face darkened.

"Prime Minister, did something happen to Xudu again?" Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Guo Jia couldn't help feeling tense.

After reading it briefly, Cao Cao handed the letter to Guo Jia, and snorted coldly: "Unexpectedly, the remnants of the Sima family were so wicked that they dared to ambush and assassinate shopkeeper Chen outside the city of Xudu. What a Sima family, I will write down this account first." In the future, you must pay back a hundred times!"

Hearing these words, Guo Jia was shocked, and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, and then he let out a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, although shopkeeper Chen was seriously injured, there is no danger to his life."

Cao Cao slammed his palm on the table, and said murderously, "If shopkeeper Chen is unlucky, I will lead my troops there and slaughter all of his Sima family!"

Guo Jia continued to read the letter, then he opened the other painting, and first exclaimed, "Prime Minister, isn't this person Zhang Fei who is beside Liu Bei?"

As he spoke, Guo Jia held up the portrait, placed it in front of Cao Cao, and pointed to the man's face on it.

Cao Cao immediately looked sideways, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then took the drawing paper in his hand.

"The eldest son also said in the letter that the person in the painting once ambushed and attacked shopkeeper Chen with Sima Yi."

Guo Jia frowned, and said, "Sure enough, all major events in this world are under the control of shopkeeper Chen. It was written in the letter that shopkeeper Chen thought that this person was someone close to Liu Bei, so he specially drew a portrait and sent it here. Prove!"

"Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao grabbed it angrily and crumpled the whole painting into a ball, but he said in doubt: "Liu Bei doesn't know shopkeeper Chen, what is he doing this for?"

Just watching Guo Jia think for a moment, a thought surged up from the bottom of his heart, and said: "I think Liu Bei did this for Xu Du, and now the Sima family has taken refuge in Yuan Shao, but they have a secret connection with Liu Bei, and they want to assassinate him." Shopkeeper Chen, then the three of them may be plotting against Xu Du!"

As soon as these words fell, Cao Cao's face became gloomy again.

Because this conjecture is not impossible, the most important thing is that Liu Xie is in Xudu. As long as the big man does not fall for a day, Liu Xie will still be the orthodox of the Han Dynasty.

The princes of the world all hope that they are like Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others, coercing the emperor to make the princes.

Cao Cao already agreed with Guo Jia's conjecture in his heart.

"Sima Yi knows that shopkeeper Chen is very scheming, and he also knows that to get Xu Du, the premise is that shopkeeper Chen must be killed first. Xu Du's assassination is probably Sima Yi's means of killing people with a knife."

Guo Jia continued to express his conjecture: "The previous crisis in Xudu has fully demonstrated the power of shopkeeper Chen. As long as he is there, Xudu will be impenetrable. This is the reason why they want to kill shopkeeper Chen."

Cao Cao nodded solemnly and said: "It makes sense, I can't destroy the Sima family for the time being, but it's not difficult to deal with Liu Bei."

As he spoke, his voice became extremely cold, and he said again: "Pass my military order to suspend the conquest of Yuan Shu, first follow the strategy that shopkeeper Chen said, and thoroughly intensify the conflict between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. I will kill Liu Bei first and avenge shopkeeper Chen." .”

Guo Jia frowned and said, "As a clan member of the Han family, Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness. If we want to kill him, I'm afraid it will cause criticism and it will be very bad for us."

Cao Cao said, "So what? Why should I fear the people of the world?"

Guo Jia glanced at the letter, and said again: "It also said in the letter, if we can be sure that they are people close to Liu Bei, then we will keep Liu Bei and the others, because shopkeeper Chen will come to meet Liu Bei in person for a while!"

"The shopkeeper Chen is coming?"

A smile finally appeared on Cao Cao's icy face: "Okay, I'll provoke the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu first, and wait for the arrival of shopkeeper Chen!"

"Send me a letter back to Xu Du immediately, and tell shopkeeper Chen that that person is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!"

-

Chen Yang, who was far away in Xudu, did not know what decision Cao Cao had made.

Before he knew it, he stayed at home for another seven days.

After such a long period of recuperation, Chen Yang's injuries were almost healed, but Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning were unwilling to let Chen Yang go to the salt factory again after being assassinated.

As for Chen Yang's position as General Right, even though he got it, he didn't bother to bother about going to court at all, and no one came to ask him why he didn't go to court.

During this time, the cotton seeds had grown and germinated, so Chen Yang ordered Fang Hua to plant them in his back garden.

The salt selling channel was also completely controlled by Jia Xu and Mi Heng. It was a little troublesome at first, but under all kinds of coercion and temptation, people on the entire salt selling channel had to recognize Jia Xu and Mi Heng.

With the sale of salt in large quantities, Chen Yang's income soared.

In addition, Jia Xu and Mi Heng are already planning the issue of exporting salt to the Southern Huns.

It's a pity that Ma Jun hadn't tossed out the cement yet, so Chen Yang's idea about the reservoir was put aside for the time being.

"Husband, have you finished drawing?"

In the back garden of the Chen Mansion, Zhang Chunhua sat in front of Chen Yang and said softly.

Chen Yang held a simple pencil made of charcoal, and skillfully drew Zhang Chunhua's portrait on a piece of drawing paper. Cao Ning was beside him to wipe Chen Yang's sweat.

Since the appearance of sketch painting, both Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning have fallen in love with painting. Of course, they can't paint by themselves, but ask Chen Yang to paint.

"You're done!"

Chen Yang put away his brush, looked at the lifelike Zhang Chunhua on the paper, and said with satisfaction.

"Husband, I want to see!"

"If you want to see it, give me a kiss first, otherwise you won't show it!"

"Bad husband!"

After all, Zhang Chunhua couldn't resist Chen Yang's smiling face, so he kissed him lightly, and then picked up the painting contentedly.

Seeing how cute and cute his wife is, Chen Yang felt sweet in his heart.

During this period of time, he was completely free, and spent time with Zhang Chunhua and Zhang Chunhua every day, talking about all kinds of flirting and teasing, and their relationship went further, and even got closer to Cao Ning.

"Master Chen!"

While the three of them were playing, Cao Ang's voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.

Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning had no choice but to retreat into the house, and Chen Yang let Cao Ang in.

"Shopkeeper Chen, your portrait has a result!"

Cao Ang held an urgent letter that had just been sent back in his hand, and said, "You are really good, and you guessed it right again this time. Do you know who the person in the painting is? Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's sworn brother."

Although it was within Chen Yang's expectation, when he heard the news suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly took over the urgent letter and read it carefully.

"It's really him!"

After reading the letter, Chen Yang muttered to himself: "Zhang Fei and I don't know each other at all. If he wanted to kill me, it must be Liu Bei's order. He appeared with Sima Yi, and Sima's family took refuge in Yuan Shao, so they cooperated. relation."

"The reason why Liu Bei, Sima Yi and Yuan Shao killed me is that they must want to take Xudu. It's interesting!"
