Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Apart from Chen Yang's success in Xianbei, Zhou Yu couldn't think of any other reasons why the enemy suddenly retreated.

Also at this time, the person who was thinking about Chen Yang was Cao Ang. He obeyed Cao Cao's order and led the army to the north alone, with only Dian Wei at his side, but he did not follow Cao Cao's plan to attack Wuguan first.

Cao Ang thought it irrelevant, so he temporarily changed his plan, bypassed Chang'an, and set off directly to the depths of the Guanzhong Basin. At this time, he had arrived near Xicheng County, next to Tianshui, Jieting and other places.

Because of this, they had no news for such a long time. Cao Cao's people were only exploring the vicinity of Wuguan, and Cao Ang had already come to the west of Chang'an, so it was too late to bring the news back.

"My lord, we are all ready to attack the west city."

A soldier hurried back and said.

"Alright, prepare to attack the city!"

Cao Ang was a little nervous. Here they can be regarded as going deep into the enemy's hinterland. If they are not careful, they will be chased and killed by the enemy, and the whole army will be wiped out.

As long as he thought that Chen Yang went deep into the Xiongnu and went to Xianbei for their Cao family, and he didn't know how to live or die, he put all his worries behind him.

He decided to fight, go all out, and ordered the whole army to attack.

The soldiers guarding Xicheng County soon found Cao Ang and others outside, but there were not many guards here, and Xicheng was not difficult to attack.

Cao Ang and the others came prepared and broke through the city gate with the fastest speed. More than 5000 people he brought rushed into the city one after another, killing all the guards.

"My lord, it's not good, more than 2000 people suddenly came from outside the city."

They had just stabilized from the west city when a soldier hurried up to Cao Ang and shouted.

Are there enemies coming outside?

The rescue of the enemies in the west city came so quickly!

Cao Ang quickly ordered people to repair the city gate, and led the soldiers to the tower to take precautions.

It's just that the people from outside didn't attack the city immediately. Their chief general rode his horse to the gate and asked loudly, "The one on the city is Prime Minister Cao's eldest son, Cao Zixiu?"

The man's voice came up from the bottom of the city heartily.

"Are you looking for me?"

Cao Ang stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Guo Huai, nicknamed Boji, I've met the eldest son!"

The general under the city cupped his hands and said, "I once heard that a group of soldiers and horses set off from Xincheng, bypassed Chang'an and entered Guanzhong. I guessed that it might be someone from Prime Minister Cao who went to conquer Guanzhong. After inquiring many times, I learned that It is the soldiers and horses of the eldest son, so they rushed over immediately."

"Sima Yi joined forces with the Hu people to invade and occupy the great Han country. As long as they are Han people, they can't wait to punish them. They can't wait to overthrow Sima Yi and drive away all the Hu people. I am here to surrender, and I am willing to help the Han family. I hope the eldest son can accept it. Everyone Throw away all your weapons."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the spear in his hand aside, and then threw down the saber he was carrying. The other soldiers followed suit and threw down their weapons to show their determination.

Cao Ang hesitated for a while, but he didn't expect that someone would come and surrender to him.

"Lao Dian, take 2000 people out of the city, first control them, and then check if there is an ambush nearby." Cao Ang said hesitantly.

"Yes!"

Dian Wei said.

The gates of the city were opened, and Dian Wei went out of the city to completely control Guo Huai and the others. After checking that there was no ambush outside, he brought them into the city with Cao Ang's consent.

"My lord, we sincerely want to surrender."

Guo Huai cupped his hands and said: "In today's world, the only person who can save a big man is Prime Minister Cao. We admire Prime Minister Cao."

Confirming again and again that Guo Huai had no other intentions, Cao Ang personally returned the weapon and invited him to sit down. He said guiltily, "I started from Xincheng and went deep into the enemy's hinterland, just to get Guanzhong and regain Chang'an. The general came to surrender suddenly. I have to be careful, I offended the general just now, please forgive me."

Guo Huai didn't get angry because of this, and said quickly: "Young Master is not afraid of danger for the sake of a big man, how dare I feel resentment over a trivial matter?"

"it is good!"

Cao Ang laughed excitedly. He had been the lord before, so of course he knew how to arrange Guo Huai.

"My lord, there are people coming outside again, and they also said they would surrender to us."

At this time, Dian Wei hurriedly walked in and spoke.

"Take me to have a look."

Cao Ang hurried to the city gate.

I saw a general outside, bringing more than 1000 people to seek refuge, and gathered outside the city at this time.

"Deng Ai, my name is Shi Zai, I have met the eldest son."

When the general saw Cao Ang, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted with a sincere and respectful attitude.

Cao Ang was sure that they were really willing to surrender, and quickly received everyone into the city.

With Deng Ai and Guo Huai coming to vote, Cao Ang's current camp has grown a little bit, and he wants to regain Guanzhong, and victory is in sight.

Back in the city, Chen Yang introduced Deng Ai and Guo Huai to each other.

"My lord, are you taking Xicheng this time to regain Guanzhong?" Deng Ai asked suddenly.

"That's right. At the beginning of Chang'an and other places, Zi'an and I worked hard to hold on from Ma Teng and others. However, some changes happened and we had to lose it again. This time I will take it back personally." Cao Ang said firmly. .

"Zian, is that the famous General Chen?" Guo Huai asked.

Chen Yang's name is known to almost everyone in the big Han. All their soldiers regard Chen Yang as their idol and their goal.

"That's right, what suggestions do the two generals have for regaining Guanzhong?" Cao Cao asked.

"The subordinates believe that the next step is to take down Tianshui first, and then recover Longxi, Nan'an, Linwei and other places."

Deng Ai immediately said: "This subordinate is an old acquaintance with Ma Zun, the prefect of Tianshui. Although he surrenders to the Jin Kingdom now, he has no other choice. As long as I go to persuade him to surrender, I can take Tianshui without bloodshed."

Cao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I will trouble Shizai with this matter."

After rectifying all the soldiers and horses in the west city, Cao Ang led the generals to leave and approached Tianshui directly.

They did not attack immediately, but only stationed below the city.

When the guards of Tianshui saw a large army coming, they hurriedly reported back, and the rest of them took up their weapons and stood ready.

Deng Ai took the initiative to come to the city, raised his head and shouted: "Is the governor of Tianshui here? Deng Ai is here, please see me."

The voice quickly spread to the city, and after a while, Ma Zun finally appeared on the tower.

"The people under the city, but Deng Shizai?"

Ma Zun shouted.

"Exactly, I haven't seen you for a long time, Ma Taishou, don't you come here?" Deng Ai responded.

"Deng Shizai, why did you bring troops to besiege my Tianshui?"

Ma Zun said sharply: "If you still consider me a friend, then leave here immediately, and I can forget about this matter."

They are old acquaintances, but when it comes to leading troops to attack Tianshui, he has to be more cruel.

Deng Ai said loudly: "Mr. Ma, do you know why I came to besiege Tianshui? Also, do you know who is behind me?"

Before Ma Zun could respond, Deng Ai said loudly again: "The person behind me is Prime Minister Cao's eldest son. We came here this time to regain Guanzhong and calm the world. The rebel Sima Yi united with the Hu people and usurped Claiming to be emperor and self-reliant, the people of the world can't wait to get rid of it quickly. Don't tell me, are you willing to be a traitor under Sima Yi's command?"
