Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye it was noon the next day, and the time Huang Zu reserved for Cao Ang and the others was almost the same.

Seeing that there was no reaction in Xu Ducheng, Huang Zu was very angry at the moment. Moreover, he had received Liu Biao's secret letter. If Xu Du insisted on not releasing Wenpin, he could pretend to attack, but he absolutely could not really fight. The main reason was to threaten Cao Ang and the others. .

Because of this, after noon that day, Huang Zu immediately commanded the army to assemble and surround the gate of Xudu.

Before the siege battle started, the city gate of Xudu was opened, and then Li Dian rushed out with 2 people. First, a row of crossbow arrows shot through, and Huang Zu's soldiers rushing to the front immediately rushed out. A piece fell.

"The distance...is at least three hundred steps, how could their arrows shoot so far?" Huang Zu was stunned when he saw this scene, and then felt incredible.

Then the crossbow arrows continued to shoot, dense as raindrops, and Huang Zu was almost shot under the horse. He quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat, not daring to confront those crossbow arrows anymore, because their bows and arrows did not have such a long range.

Seeing Huang Zu retreating, Li Dian followed Chen Yang's method and immediately pursued and attacked.

When the fight really started, the crossbow arrows really made up for the lack of numbers just right, which made Huang Zu's soldiers and horses unable to get close, and they were shot and killed as soon as they entered the range.

The two sides remained in a stalemate outside the city for nearly two hours. At this moment, a deafening cry of killing suddenly came from behind Huang Zu.

"Huang Zu, take your life!"

Huang Zu looked back and saw a team of tens of thousands of people appearing behind them at unknown time, rushing forward.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats!"

Under such a situation of attacking back and forth, Huang Zu didn't dare to fight any more, otherwise he would be the one who died.

But before they could all evacuate, the troops in the rear were approaching, and Li Dian took the opportunity to lead 2 people to kill them.

In an instant, Huang Zu's army was in a mess and was completely defeated.

It's a pity that in the end, Huang Zu was killed under the protection of hundreds of soldiers and let him escape.

Seeing this, Li Dian yelled that it was a pity.

At the same time, in the north of Xudu.

Ye Shun led the soldiers from the factory, and 2 people who asked Li Dian to come, and ambushed beside a road that must be passed to Xudu.

"General, I found a group of people ahead, flying the banner with the word 'Yuan'. It should be Yuan Shao's people."

At this moment, the soldiers who were sent out to act as scouts hurried back.

"It's finally here, how many are there?" Ye Shun asked in a deep voice.

"About [-] cavalry and [-] infantry." The scout said quickly.

"There are still a lot of people, pass the order, the whole army is ready, wait for the enemy to enter the ambush, listen to my order and then attack."

Ye Shun whispered again: "According to the master's order, run away after the fight, don't love to fight, let alone stay."

Chen Yang only wanted to use ambushes, crossbow arrows and other means to catch Yuan Shao's people off guard and to confuse the enemy, so he had to retreat.

The enemy was suddenly attacked, and they must have lost their positions. They were afraid of an ambush and did not dare to chase after them. Ye Shun and the others would be able to retreat completely.

After a while, Yuan Shao's army finally arrived. Under Ye Shun's order, crossbows and arrows were fired, and various traps for ambush appeared one after another.

At this moment, the enemy was in chaos.

Seeing this opportunity, Ye Shun led the cavalry to rush out first, beheading all the marginal soldiers.

The remaining 2 soldiers, led by a lieutenant general, suddenly appeared from all around, and also killed many people who were in a mess on the edge.

When General Yuan Jun came to his senses, Ye Shun ordered to retreat.

In this way, a team of more than 2 people quickly killed nearly 2 Yuan Shao, and successfully escaped.

Just as Chen Yang predicted, Yuan Shao's army did not dare to pursue, they were worried that there would be an ambush ahead.

Furthermore, they suffered heavy casualties and did not dare to chase after them.

-

In the evening of that day, Chen Yang received the final result, which was not much different from what he had imagined.

Huang Zu was defeated and Liu Biao's entire army withdrew, without further questioning whether Wenpin would be released.

Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were ambushed, and they withdrew from Xudu's territory and dared not come back.

"After this battle, who will dare to look down on us Xudu in the future?" Cao Ang looked at the battle report and laughed proudly.

Chen Yang said calmly: "Although we won once, there are still many battles to be fought before the end of this troubled world. There is no guarantee that we will win next time, and we cannot be too proud."

Cao Ang nodded and said, "What you said is that if you want not to fight, you have to wait for your father to calm down the world."

As he said that, he seemed to think of other things, and frowned slightly: "Shopkeeper Chen, there is someone who wants to see you, is it convenient to go out with me?"

"Is it Xia Houchong?"

Chen Yang had already guessed who was going to see him, and after hesitating for a moment, he agreed, "I can meet you."

Xiahouchong, whose name is Ziyong, is the eldest son of Xiahoudun and the elder brother of Xiahoumao.

Xu is calm, but Xia Houmao's matter has not been resolved.

Cao Ang was stunned, then smiled and said: "I haven't said who it is, you guessed it, but... this kind of thing happened to Xiahou's family, and it still has nothing to do with you, you have to see Xiahouchong no matter what. "

With Chen Yang's consent, Cao Ang arranged to go out.

This time they went to Xiahou's house. As soon as they entered the gate of Xiahou's house, they saw a man who was about the same age as Cao Ang, walking anxiously by the door.

He is Xia Houchong.

Seeing that Cao Ang finally came, Xia Houchong quickly said, "Zixiu, I'm waiting for you. Is this shopkeeper Chen? Please come in!"

Xia Houchong didn't dare to neglect Chen Yang, he knew what happened to Xu Du, and he also knew that it was Chen Yang's credit that Xu Du was safe and sound.

Also, before Xiahoudun left Xudu, he had told Xiahouchong many times not to offend Chen Yang.

He is not as impulsive as Xia Houmao, he is easy to be used by others, and he can distinguish the pros and cons of it.

The three of them walked into the hall of Xia Hou's house together. After Chen Yang sat down, Xia Houchong immediately bowed in front of him and said, "It's Zilin who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and offended shopkeeper Chen. Here, I'll take Zilin's place." I want you to apologize."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Ziyong, I think you have misunderstood something. What Xia Houmao offended was not me but the prime minister. Xiahoumao and the Sima family joined forces to seek Xudu. How big of a crime is that?"

It was said that Xia Houchong was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat.

If this matter is serious, it is that their Xiahou family wants to rebel.

"Ziyong, if you want to see me, besides apologizing, you still want me to let Xia Houmao go, right?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Chen Yang directly explained his thoughts.

Xia Houchong could only nod his head and said: "That's right, after Zilin was imprisoned, my mother washed her face with tears every day. Originally, I wanted to ask shopkeeper Chen to show her respect, but...it was Zilin's own fault. Can shopkeeper Chen let Zilin not kill him?" , has been kind to us, as for asking for release, I am ashamed to speak!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly again, very respectful.

Chen Yang said: "I didn't kill him because I promised General Xiahou that he would not die again, and let Xiahoumao go. I can promise you."

"really?"

Xia Houchong was overjoyed at first, and soon he said: "Would it be against the rules to do this?"

Chen Yang said disapprovingly: "I caught the man, so I can naturally let him go, but you have to take good care of him in the future, and if things like rebelling against the prime minister happen again, it will not be as simple as it is now."

Xia Houchong quickly said: "This is for sure. When Zilin comes back, I will lock him up personally, and I will not leave the house for half a step. Please rest assured, shopkeeper Chen."

"In addition, please rest assured, Zixiu. I guarantee with my life that similar things will not happen again. This time, our Xiahou family owes you a favor."

This favor is dispensable to Chen Yang, but it is useful to Cao Ang.

Now that Xia Houchong's request has been fulfilled, and Chen Yang's goal has also been achieved, he said goodbye and left after a few polite words.
