Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Zhao Yun and the others chased them to Wakou Pass, and found that the guard here was no longer Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhang hadn't disappeared yet, so they knew that something was wrong.

He didn't dare to attack Wakou Pass rashly, so he hurriedly led his troops back to Hanzhong and told Chen Yang everything.

Hearing these sudden news, Chen Yang felt a headache, and thought for a while and said, "Old General, can you continue to defend Hanzhong?"

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem. I am here. If Hanzhong is lost again, I will head back to Xiangyang to meet the general."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang nodded and said: "We will return to Xiangyang immediately, and at the same time, let people go east from Wakou Pass to find the whereabouts of the third son as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes!"

Before leaving Wakou Pass, Chen Yang told him many times that he must not leave the pass at will and take the initiative to fight.

In the end, Cao Zhang still didn't listen to Chen Yang's proposal. It's fine if Wakou pass is lost, and even people don't know whether they are alive or dead. This is the most troublesome thing.

However, Chen Yang guessed that he should go east. If he went west, he would go deeper into the enemy's place. They would not do this.

"The third son is still too young." Chen Yang muttered to himself.

Cao Zhang is young and energetic, and he is easy to act on his own will. Even though Cao Xiu is assisting him, Cao Xiu can't suppress him. As long as he shows his identity as the third son, Cao Xiu has nothing to do.

Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry could also be defeated by Zhou Cang, which shows how miserably Cao Zhang and the others failed.

Hand over Hanzhong to Huang Zhong and let him arrange the defense. Chen Yang and others assembled the army and returned to Xiangyang along the Han River as soon as possible.

In addition to continuing to look for Cao Zhang, he had to tell Cao Cao about this.

He prayed in his heart that nothing happened to Cao Zhang, otherwise he would have no face to go back to see Cao Cao.

Fortunately, when Chen Yang returned to Xincheng, he happened to meet Cao Zhang and more than 100 defeated generals who also returned to Xincheng.

As soon as the two sides met, Cao Zhang first burst into tears with gratitude, and then felt a burning pain on his cheek, and his heart was full of guilt.

"General, I'm sorry!"

Cao Zhang lowered his head, he could only admit his mistake, and it was still very wrong.

"Third Young Master, you didn't forgive me, sorry people, all the soldiers who sacrificed to protect you."

Chen Yang said seriously: "They didn't even keep their names, so you took them all to die."

This made Cao Zhang feel even more uncomfortable when he heard this. He lowered his head and said, "I killed them. If I could obey your orders, General, this would not have happened. Wakou Pass was taken by you, General. I Sorry to all of you."

After all, he is Lao Cao's son, Chen Yang didn't dare to punish him, he shook his head and said, "Okay, let's go back to Xiangyang first, and then discuss other things."

How to deal with him was Boss Cao's business, not Chen Yang's.

Two days later, in Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao received the news from Hanzhong that Chen Yang had returned victoriously. He should have been happy, but Cao Zhang's failure was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head.

As soon as they returned to Xiangyang, Cao Cao didn't show any courtesy to Chen Yang, so he took Cao Zhang away and taught him a lesson.

There was nothing to do with Chen Yang, he asked everyone to disperse and go home to rest, he was tired after fighting for so long.

Noon the next day.

As soon as Chen Yang woke up, he received an order from Cao Cao, so he could only go to see him.

"Zian, you have bothered about the Nizi matter." Cao Cao said sadly.

"The third son has the ability, but what he lacks is experience. This time, his failure was also caused by his lack of experience and his disobedience to my orders. If he can practice for another year or two, he can be alone."

Chen Yang continued: "After this time, the third son will change. Wei Gong can send him to Guanzhong and let Xiao Cao take him with him. Only Xiao Cao's identity can suppress him and won't do anything wrong. "

Cao Cao agreed, "Zian, what you said is right. Zixiu is in Guanzhong, he is about to hit Luoyang, and now he is approaching Hulao Pass and Tongguan. He is also the person you brought out from Zi'an, and he is capable of leading that Nizi."

Chen Yang waved his hand modestly: "That's Xiao Cao's cleverness, I just mentioned it casually, it has nothing to do with me."

Cao Cao liked his modesty. After pondering for a while, he said, "I have sent people to contact Sun Shao about the Jiangdong matter. Guess what happened?"

Boss Cao's actions are not slow, and he has already begun to pave the way for the future.

Chen Yang guessed: "We recognized Sun Shao's identity, and he couldn't wait to promise us that he would cooperate with us secretly."

"correct!"

Cao Cao laughed and said: "At the beginning, he even drove the people I sent out of Shouchun. Later, I asked His Majesty to prepare an imperial decree, and let people go to Shouchun as the Han Dynasty. I stated my interests and finally agreed. Returning. That is to say, Shouchun is now Sima Yi's place on the surface, but secretly under our control, and then use him to contain Sun Quan, killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Yang reminded: "Sun Shao has betrayed him many times. This person is arrogant and capricious. Be careful."

Cao Cao said: "I also know his character. Jiangdong's worries can be temporarily put aside. How do you plan to deal with Yizhou?"

Chen Yang had already made a plan, and said, "I plan to go to Shuzhong in half a month to expose Liu Yan's true face, and then prepare for the plan of Shuzhong."

He roughly told Cao Cao about his plan.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more excited he became, he clapped his hands and agreed to the plan.

Go back to your residence in Xiangyang.

Chen Yang called Cao Lan's shadow members who stayed in Xiangyang, and carefully read the news they had sorted out recently.

In the north, Sima Yi and Ke Bineng cooperated closely, and their strength was unprecedentedly strong, but he couldn't do anything to Cao Ang, nor could he defeat the defense line of the Northern Expedition.

Sun Quan and the others returned to Jiangdong, kept their own place, did nothing, and did not see any other big moves.

Zhuge Liang retreated to Wakou Pass, returned to the capital of Shu immediately, and gathered the army of Shu, as if he wanted to rest and recuperate, and did not send troops to the Northern Expedition.

It seems that everything, inadvertently, returns to calm and tranquility.

"This is after being changed by me, the new Three Kingdoms will stand together, and the three countries will be in a stalemate."

Chen Yang muttered to himself, and said again: "Someone tell Mi Zizhong to arrange for someone who is good at managing business to come back to see me in Lujiang, and at the same time let Zhuge Ziyu come to Lujiang to meet me."

After the shadow man heard it, he sent the news out as soon as possible.

"General, this time in Hanzhong, do we have military merits?"

Tara ran over and asked expectantly.

"I've reported it for you, there will be, don't worry!"

Chen Yang nodded.

"Thank you General!"

Tara laughed happily, then took Yaruo's hand and ran outside.

Chen Yang saw that they were inseparable and inseparable recently, and an indescribable thought came to his mind.

"They, the lilies are blooming, right?" Chen Yang thought.

But that's good too, Tara doesn't have to bother herself, and they won't quarrel.

After staying in Xiangyang for one night, Chen Yang returned to Lujiang.

Calculating the time, he hadn't seen them for a long time. Every time he went out for an expedition, the time passed very quickly.
