Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

When Chen Yang walked out of the gate of Xiahou's house, it was already night and it was almost curfew.

Sitting in the carriage, Cao Ang asked inexplicably: "Xiahoumao rebelled and committed a capital crime. Even if we kill him, my father will not object, and even General Xiahou will not object, but why let him go?" ?”

"Because I want Xiahou Dun to owe us."

Chen Yang explained: "I promised Xiahou Dun that he would let Xiahoumao go one more time without killing him, and he owed me a favor. Now that we let Xiahoumao go home together, they owe us one more time."

Cao Ang thought for a while, and then asked: "What effect can a favor have?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "This will have a great effect. Xiao Cao, you will inherit Lao Cao's career in the future, and Xiahou Chong will also inherit Xiahou Dun's career, but Xiahou's family followed the prime minister to conquer the world. Your Cao family has a very close relationship, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

Cao Ang said: "I know the benefits, but what are the disadvantages?"

Chen Yang continued to explain to him: "Xiao Cao, you are not in power now, because you don't know the benefits of power. Xiahou's family is the hero who follows the prime minister. If Xiahou Dun is still there, they will still be loyal to the prime minister. Once He is gone, will the descendants of Xiahou's family take credit for themselves, want power, and do some more rebellious things?"

"Xiahou's family not only has credit, but they will also have military power in the future, and even have a prestige that is not weaker than the prime minister. After the world is peaceful, if they want to rebel, Xiao Cao, do you think it will be a problem?"

Cao Ang really didn't think about these issues, because he felt that they were too far away from him.

Before this, although Cao Cao took him by his side to teach, it was impossible to teach him how to guard against Xiahou's family. After hearing what Chen Yang said, he didn't know how to think about Xiahou's family for a while.

This is no longer something ordinary people can learn. It can be said to be the art of the emperor, which makes Cao Ang very strange.

"If father can put down the world, Xiahou's family has worked hard and won the military power for sure. If they rebel, they will definitely be in trouble." Cao Ang said solemnly, "But why did they rebel?"

"As I said just now, because of power, the supreme power is always the most attractive. Who doesn't want to stand above everyone in the world? Even Lao Cao wants to."

Chen Yang gave an example: "In the history of our great Han Dynasty, there have been a series of rebellious acts such as the rebellion of Huainan King and Jibei King, and the conspiracy of Liang Wang and Liu Wu to reserve the throne. The root cause is full strength."

Cao Ang nodded half-understood: "So let Xiahou Chong owe us a favor, that is, the Xiahou family will owe us a favor in the future, but if they really want to rebel, no favor can stop them."

Chen Yang agreed: "You're right. A favor is insignificant, but it depends on how to use it. Maybe you can use this favor to implement another favor order? Of course, these are issues that you should consider in the future. I can't imagine what will happen in the future, it's all my guess."

The more he listened to Chen Yang's words, the more Cao Ang felt that Chen Yang was unfathomable. What Chen Yang was thinking now involved the issue of Cao Ang inheriting Cao Cao's career.

Even Cao Ang himself, he didn't dare to think so, he still felt that it was too far away.

What Cao Ang couldn't deny was that what Chen Yang said made sense.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for your reminder, which has benefited me a lot." Cao Ang was about to stand up in the carriage, and bowed to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang pulled him to sit down, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "Do you still consider me your buddy? If so, don't be so polite to me."

Cao Ang smiled and said, "The most correct thing my father and I have done in our life is to get to know shopkeeper Chen. This thank you is due."

Chen Yang suddenly said solemnly: "In the future, as long as you don't think that I am too much, or that I hold too many secrets for you is a threat, I don't want to be silenced for no reason."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy.

Cao Ang quickly said: "Shopkeeper Chen, you think too much, this is absolutely impossible. If I, Cao Ang, really do this, I will die!"

Chen Yang's face softened a little, and he said again: "There are no absolutes in the world, you must know that the most ruthless emperor's family, everything is possible in the future. But... you know Zhang Zifang, right? If that kind of thing really happens, I may become Zhang Liang, retire after I have achieved my achievements, and I am too lazy to care about your mess."

In Zhang Chunhua's heart, Chen Yang was like Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, which also reminded him.

In the past, Chen Yang never thought of assisting Cao Cao, but now he is almost tied to Boss Cao. After helping him win the world, he can't be like Han Xin. If he wants to learn, he has to learn from Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was the one who ended up the best among the three masters in the early Han Dynasty.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm serious, I will never treat you like that, let alone be so unfeeling and righteous." Cao Ang was still entangled in this, and said solemnly.

"I was just joking just now, Xiao Cao, don't take it seriously, you know my character, and now I will help you all, for the sake of our relationship."

Chen Yang continued: "When you don't need my help, I just want to live the life of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence."

A smile finally appeared on Cao Ang's face. He said with a smile, "It's a great way to pick chrysanthemums and see Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence. It's a pity that I am the eldest son of my father, so I can't experience this beautiful artistic conception."

Chen Yang said: "Maybe there will be this opportunity. After all, we don't know what will happen in the future, right?"

While chatting, they hurried on their way, and the carriage returned to the Chen Mansion soon.

After Chen Yang got off the car, Cao Ang went home.

However, he also felt something about what Chen Yang said.

After experiencing what happened in the past few days, Xu Du has completely stabilized.

Even if Cao Cao is not around, no one will dare to seek it.

-

At night, Xia Houmao finally returned to Xia Hou's house, and Man Chong sent someone to send him back.

"Big brother!"

At this time, Xia Houmao was in a state of embarrassment, with blood stains on his body that hadn't been cleaned, his hair was messy like withered grass, and his face was full of scumbags. He was completely different from the rich man in the past.

"Kneel down!" Xia Houchong said coldly.

Xia Houmao didn't object, and knelt in front of his elder brother tremblingly, lowering his head quietly.

Xia Houchong said again: "Do you know what you did wrong?"

Xia Houmao lowered his head and said, "I know it all, but I didn't expect Sima Yi to use me like that. In fact, I just want to kill Chen Yang."

"Bastard!"

Xia Houchong said loudly: "If you really kill Chen Yang, then our entire Xiahou family will be destroyed in your hands, and with your brains, can you really kill Chen Yang? I don't think you know Where is the mistake."

Faced with the elder brother's scolding, Xia Houmao didn't dare to speak, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart, maybe he hadn't really repented yet.

"I originally followed my father to fight against Yuan Shu. When I learned about you, my father asked me to come back to protect you as soon as possible. Fortunately, shopkeeper Chen promised his father to spare your life and not kill you, so that he can live until now. Now you Still don't know what I did wrong?"

Xia Houchong was very angry, but the man in front of him was his younger brother, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't kill him with a knife, so he said: "Come on, take the second son back to the backyard and take care of him. No one can let him go without my order." Half a step from the mansion gate."

Hearing his order, several servants came forward and took Xia Houmao away.

"Chen Yang, what kind of person are you? You can do everything and know everything."

After Xia Houchong was angry, he muttered to himself.
