Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Who is leading the army under the city? Why did you come to Xudu?"

Soon, there were generals defending the city standing on the tower and shouting loudly.

Chen Yang glanced at Cao Ang helplessly, and motioned for him to respond. Only Cao Ang was qualified to respond to their words.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm on your boat." Cao Ang smiled and shook his head.

Chen Yang also laughed and said, "Xiao Cao, you only want to get off the boat now, it's already too late."

Cao Ang smiled helplessly, and immediately stepped forward, shouting loudly, "General Li Dian, it's me, Cao Ang!"

The man who guards the city is named Li Dian, and his style name is Mancheng. He is also a brave general under Cao Cao's command.

After hearing Cao Ang's words, Li Dian repeatedly confirmed that it was Cao Ang and Chen Yang who came, and then he asked in puzzlement, "My lord, why are you doing this?"

Cao Ang said: "General Li, let us enter the city first, and father's orders will come soon, and you will know when the time comes."

Li Dian on the tower shook his head and said, "My lord, this matter is serious, I'm sorry, please go back, don't embarrass me."

Then, he also ordered all the soldiers not to open the city gate without the prime minister's order.

Li Dian didn't dare to act recklessly, and immediately went to notify Cao Cao after he came down from the tower.

Cao Ang returned to Chen Yang and spread his hands, expressing that there was nothing he could do, and he hoped that Chen Yang would retreat.

"It's okay, we can enter the city, just keep waiting." Chen Yang didn't care.

Cao Ang asked, "Why are you so sure you can enter the city?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Because you have already sent someone back to tell Lao Cao about me, even if you didn't do so, Li Dian will find someone to inform Lao Cao at this time, so we will definitely be able to enter Xu Capital City."

Seeing Chen Yang's self-confidence, Cao Ang couldn't help asking, "Why do you think your father would agree with your bold behavior?"

"It is because I am bold enough that he will agree."

Chen Yang analyzed and said: "The prime minister has long been dissatisfied with those families, especially our families in Xudu City, but he can't do anything in his capacity, and my appearance is just right."

Cao Ang thought for a moment, but still asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Chen Yang continued to explain: "Because we have enough reasons to trouble the family, Dong Cheng and others deliberately deducted our wine money, the family is on the wrong side, and with the help of the prime minister, we can take advantage of this time. incidents to beat those who don't have eyesight so that they can keep themselves safe."

"Of course, after today, it may be just ordinary families who will succumb to the prime minister. Old-timers like Dong Cheng and Sima Fang will hate the prime minister even more."

Cao Ang seemed to understand a little bit, and soon he asked again: "We are doing this to push Dong Cheng and the others too hard, will it be counterproductive?"

"It's the best, that's what we're waiting for."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "If they dare to rebel, the Prime Minister has a reason to completely erase those people."

Speaking of this, Chen Yang remembered the Yidai Zhao incident during the Three Kingdoms period, which was created by Dong Cheng and others.

"No wonder my father asked me to study with you. Most people do things by taking one step at a time or two, and at most anticipating the next ten or so steps. But shopkeeper Chen, you are different. You have already begun to calculate those things since you sold wine. Family, right?"

Cao Ang admired Chen Yang more and more, and said: "You took the first step, and you may have already calculated how to walk the next dozens or even hundreds of steps."

Among all the people Cao Ang knew, Guo Jia might not be able to do such a calculation.

It was an honor for Cao Ang to study with Chen Yang.

"Father is right, shopkeeper Chen, you are an all-around genius." Cao Ang said again.

"Be low-key, be low-key."

The reason why Chen Yang is so calculating is because he knows the subsequent development of history.

"By the way, have you recovered the money from the palace? I haven't been to the palace yet, so I kind of want to see what it's like." Chen Yang suddenly smiled excitedly.

The corner of Cao Ang's mouth twitched again, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "The Son of Heaven dare not refuse the money. The only debt we can recover is the Son of Heaven's. Other families were bewitched by Dong Cheng and others, so they refused to pay."

Chen Yang said regretfully: "That would be a pity, but they will regret it soon."

At this moment, Li Dian who had just left appeared on the tower again.

"Open the city gate and let the eldest son in!" Li Dian ordered.

The gates of the city were finally opened. Cao Ang waved his hand and let Chen Yang lead three thousand soldiers into the city.

"My lord, the prime minister has something else to tell you. This time you can lead soldiers to collect debts, but you must not hurt those who are of the blood of the family." Li Dian urged.

"That is to say, ordinary servants and nurses, we can beat them at will?" Chen Yang was still thinking about the people they sent to collect money and got beaten, so he had to take revenge.

Li Dian thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, you are that Chen Yang? I hope you can be more sensible, and don't cause trouble for the Prime Minister by doing anything wrong."

Chen Yang could see that he was displeased with him, but he didn't bother to argue with him, he just smiled and said, "As long as those people are willing to be sensible, of course I will be sensible too. Let's go, first go to Sima's house."

Cao Ang bowed his hands to Li Dian helplessly, and followed Chen Yang into the city.

"Madman, this person is a daring madman."

Li Dian shook his head: "I don't know whether it's good or bad that the Prime Minister agreed to his nonsense."

After a pause, he continued: "The whole army listened to the order, sealed off all the city gates, passed the order to Lord Man Chong, and watched every move of those aristocratic families. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed without mercy!"

Of course, this is also Cao Cao's order, worrying that those aristocratic families will rebel against Xudu.

After all, Guojiu and others are related to the emperor, and in the emperor's imperial city, there is an army of 1 people that is not controlled by Cao Cao.

And those aristocratic families will keep some private soldiers, and it will be troublesome for them to mess up.

Have to prevent!

Sima's family.

"Ye Shun, knock on the door!" Chen Yang said.

After hearing the order, Ye Shun stepped forward first, and knocked hard on the closed door.

"Who is it!"

An impatient voice came from inside: "Stop knocking!"

However, as soon as the door was opened, before the servant had time to see who was knocking on the door, suddenly a cold knife was placed on his neck.

"You... who are you?" Jia Ding's legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground in fear.

Only then did Chen Yang walk forward slowly, and said, "Let Master Sima come out, and say that the eldest son of the prime minister is here."

Ye Shun withdrew his knife, the servant nodded hurriedly, then rushed into the mansion, and shouted: "It's not good..."

"Take 200 people to follow me in, and the rest will surround the entire mansion!" Chen Yang waved his hand and strode into the gate of Sima's house.

The matter has come to this point, Cao Ang also knew that it was irreversible, so he had to follow behind Chen Yang and said loudly: "Lord Sima, Cao Ang is here to visit, please come out and see."

"My lord, what are you doing?"

Sima Lang walked out of the house anxiously, and said coldly: "My Sima family has never offended the prime minister, why did you send troops to surround us?"

"presumptuous!"

Sima Fang's majestic voice also came from the room, and he could be heard saying: "Bo Da, don't be rude to the eldest son. I wonder why the eldest son came here this time?"

While speaking, Sima Fang glanced over Chen Yang.

Sima Yi came out with Sima Fang, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Chen Yang with cold eyes.

Chen Yang and him glanced at each other, but they were smiling and extremely arrogant, which made Sima Yi feel depressed.

However, Cao Ang looked at the man behind Sima Fang in a strange way. He felt that this man was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't figure out who he was for a while.

The man felt Cao Ang's gaze, he lowered his head slightly, and retreated into the room, which made Cao Ang feel even more strange.
