Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The matter of Xu Du is a foregone conclusion, and it is basically under Chen Yang's control, and there will be no major changes.

However, yesterday when he saw Xia Houmao hanging out with Sima Yi again, Chen Yang changed his initial layout. He left the crisis in Xu Du on the night of his marriage.

Chen Yang is still determined, Sima Yi will do something on the night of his marriage, and even the crisis in Xudu will erupt at that time.

"Zhang Xiu is really not scary, Lao Cao, you can leave at ease, but I need to leave 3 people inside and outside Xudu for me to deploy, so that they can hide temporarily and can't show up, I will use these people to help you Seize power." Chen Yang said confidently again.

Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia said first, "Master Chen, are you really confident?"

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course, this time I can make Zhang Xiu come and go."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded and agreed, "I'll leave Dianwei to you. You must hold Xudu. If you really can't hold it, you can take Zixiu and the others to abandon the city and flee. Xudu is important, but your Life is more important, you know?"

Later generations said that Cao Cao liked to be suspicious, rather he would be indifferent to the world, but at this moment, Chen Yang saw a different Cao Cao, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, unexpectedly he would say such words.

"Old Cao, based on your words, I will take this world for you."

Chen Yang could tell that Cao Cao's words just now came from the heart, and there was no so-called hypocrisy.

This old Cao is worth befriending and assisting.

Cao Cao smiled happily: "Okay, with your promise from shopkeeper Chen, the world is already in my pocket."

Chen Yang arched his hands and said, "Old Cao, this time I went out and returned smoothly, I will be there for everyone, it is as solid as gold, so there is no need to worry."

According to the historical development track, Yuan Shu will be defeated this time, and Chen Yang doesn't care much about conquering Yuan Shu. As long as Cao Cao does what he said at the beginning, he can not only defeat Yuan Shu, but also intensify the conflict between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. Kill two birds with one stone.

"All the army, let's go!"

Following Cao Cao's order, the army began to move and left the barracks in a mighty way.

"Shopkeeper Chen, Xu Du's affairs are all up to you. I have told Wen Ruo to follow your arrangements. One more thing, I replaced a batch of the hidden guards who were arranged by your side last night. Xia Houyuan let his subordinates cultivate the strongest hidden guards, whose strength is stronger than that of the last batch."

Before leaving, Cao Cao clasped his hands again and said, "With them here, you and Zixiu can be kept safe and sound. If Xu Jian really can't keep it, they will try their best to protect you and leave."

Guo Jia echoed and said: "The hidden guards of Xiahou's family have protected the prime minister from danger many times. If necessary, you can command them with confidence."

He even strengthened the security force around him, Chen Yang said gratefully: "Thank you very much!"

After bidding farewell to Cao Cao for the expedition, Chen Yang still felt a little emotional in his heart. The relationship between himself and Boss Cao was actually so good, and Boss Cao was not as suspicious as he thought.

Looking back at the city wall of Xudu not far away, Chen Yang continued to sigh in his heart. He never thought that he would have such a glorious day. The safety of Xudu was in his hands, and even Sima Yi was his number one enemy.

"Sima Yi, Xia Houmao..."

Chen Yang muttered to himself, and sneered: "I seem to understand what Sima Yi wants to do now, what a Xiahoumao, but it's a pity that I promised Xiahoudun to let you go again, it's not easy to kill."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang waved his hand: "Let's go to the factory."

inside the factory.

As soon as Chen Yang walked into the gate, he saw Cao Ang was learning how to train soldiers. He followed Ye Shun and practiced with all the soldiers.

"Xiao Cao, why are you here? You didn't go to see off Lao Cao when he went out today?" As soon as Chen Yang arrived, he pulled Cao Ang out of the soldiers.

Cao Ang spread his hands and said, "I was imprisoned in public by the Mandarin yesterday. How can I appear openly? Besides, my father often goes out to war, and I'm used to it. Why don't I learn more about military training from you so that I can help my father in the future?" Calm the world."

Having said that, Cao Ang was still a little bit worried. After all, going to war would kill people, but Chen Yang said that this battle must be won. He believed in Chen Yang and put his worries aside for the time being.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Old Cao is outside fighting the world, we will help him secure the world in Xudu."

After speaking, Chen Yang called Ye Shun over, and said, "After today's training is over, all soldiers will be given a day off. Those who have relatives should go home and visit them, and those who have no relatives should stay in the camp for a day or two to rest." God, just relax."

Ye Shun asked puzzledly: "My lord, why is this?"

Chen Yang said seriously: "Because, we will soon have a battle to fight. This is the time to test the effect of your training. I don't think it is necessary to train again before the battle."

Death is inevitable in a war, and Chen Yang can't avoid it. Three thousand soldiers here may die, so let them go home and see their relatives before they die. If they don't have relatives, they can relax and adjust their state .

"Thank you, my lord!" Ye Shun also understood this, and said gratefully in his heart.

"What's more, don't tell them that there is going to be a war, so as not to upset them, go ahead and make arrangements." Chen Yang waved his hand.

Seeing Ye Shun's figure disappear before his eyes, Cao Ang said: "Others will only intensify their military training before going to war, but you first give them a holiday to go home and visit their relatives. Just this, shopkeeper Chen, you are different."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Ordinary soldiers are also human beings. They may be other people's sons or fathers. Once they die, it will be a devastating blow to some families."

"In the era of war, I can't guarantee that no soldiers will die. I can only try to make them sacrifice as little as possible, or leave fewer regrets."

Chen Yang put away his smile, and sighed a long time: "Truly disciplined soldiers are worthy of respect, because they are the first to die in a war."

Cao Ang sighed: "Love soldiers like sons, if you can be a general, how many soldiers would be blessed!"

"Not necessarily!"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Compassion does not command soldiers, and people do not govern. The biggest shortcoming of me is that I am too kind to my own people. Of course, I will still be cruel to my enemies."

After all, Chen Yang went to the craftsmen first.

"Compassion does not govern soldiers, benevolence does not govern, good!" Cao Ang thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Lord!"

As soon as Chen Yang arrived at the craftsman's side, a person hurried over to meet him.

This person is the leader selected by Chen Yang from among the craftsmen, and he is also an old blacksmith named Ma Chang. At this moment, he said excitedly: "My lord, the steel crossbow you mentioned has been manufactured, and there are also continuous crossbows. It is also initially taking shape, and the first attempt can be made tomorrow as soon as possible.”

This is great news. If there are more weapons like this, the chances of winning Xu Du's crisis will be even greater.

Hearing this, Chen Yang asked excitedly, "Old Ma, are you serious?"

Ma Chang nodded quickly, then he waved his hand back, and immediately a young man in his twenties took out a crossbow and stepped forward to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took it over and took a closer look. From the appearance, it was similar to the one he drew, and it was also very delicate, and it was not exactly the kind of crossbow in the European Middle Ages. Chen Yang added a crossbow on it according to the characteristics of later crossbows The sights have been reworked elsewhere as well.

"It's really done!"

Chen Yang shouted excitedly: "Okay, let's announce it immediately. The whole army is assembled on the school field to watch me demonstrate the steel crossbow."
