Soldiers come to the world

Chen Guo was startled, he suddenly realized something, put down the earcup in his hand, got up, walked to the door and asked, "What nobleman?"

The second son whispered in his ear: "It's General Xiahou!"

Chen Guo was taken aback. General Xiahou was Xiahou Dun, one of Cao Jun's two commanders. He came to visit him in person. He asked anxiously, "Where is he now?"

"Waiting in the guest room!"

Chen Guo didn't feel overwhelmed at this time, but felt as if he was facing an abyss. He knew that he couldn't escape the internal strife in Yedu at last.

He sighed, and said to his second son, "Serve the best tea, I'll be right there!"

Chen Guo changed a piece of clothes, then hurriedly walked towards the VIP hall, walked into the lobby, saw Xia Houdun and a man in black wearing a bamboo hat sitting at the table drinking, he was taken aback, the man in black Who is it, who can sit with Xiahou Dun, he is definitely not an ordinary person!

He secretly scolded his son for his lack of wink, and didn't even tell himself that there was another person. Chen Guo didn't have time to think about it, and knelt down to salute, "Humble Chen Guo, see the general!"

Xiahou Dun chuckled, stepped forward to help Chen Guo up, "General Chen doesn't need to be so polite, please get up! Please get up!"

At this time, the man in black also stood up and took off his bamboo hat. Chen Guo immediately recognized that the man in black was actually the third son Cao Zhi, and he was startled, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "See Mr. Zhi for the humble job! "

Cao Zhi came to see Chen Guo with Xiahou Dun. At this time, he smelled the strong smell of wine and saw that Chen Guo was rough and dark. He didn't like it very much, but for the sake of Chen Guo's three thousand soldiers, he Also had to put up with this rude soldier.

Cao Zhi quickly smiled back and said, "I've wanted to visit General Chen for a long time, but it's not convenient to go out, so I didn't come until now, sorry!"

Cao Zhi is telling the truth. He is currently living in the city, and the city of Yedu has been controlled by Tiger Benwei. Cao Zhi has only [-] guards around him. Appearing everywhere in the city, it is easy to be in danger.

Xiahou Dun laughed and said, "My lord, you don't need to be so polite. General Chen is a straightforward person, and he doesn't care too much about etiquette."

Chen Guo came to her senses and hurriedly said, "General and Young Master, please sit down!"

When the three of them sat down, Chen Guo felt uneasy and bowed his head in silence, while Cao Zhi just drank tea calmly, as if he was just accompanying the guests and what he was talking about had nothing to do with him. At this time, Xiahou Dun smiled slightly: "General Chen should know why we Come!"

"This. I seem to understand it, but I can't understand it. I hope the general will advise me."

Xiahou Dun sighed and said: "The original fiasco pushed Cao Wei to the brink of life and death. Facts have proved that Cao Pi is not suitable to inherit Wei Gong's great cause, including us veterans who went through fire and water to establish Cao Wei. We can't tolerate Cao Wei's demise. We all unanimously decided , Duke Wei’s great cause should be inherited by the third son, and I also hope that General Chen will join us.”

Xiahoudun spoke very frankly, and directly made it clear that Chen Guo should stand in line. Indeed, Chen Guo was only the captain of Weijun, with a lowly position. With Xiahoudun's status, there was no need to say too many subtle words. Chen Guo's face turned pale, Seeing that the Han army is about to annex the world, he has already started to retreat. At this critical moment, how can he rush to the front line again.

"Why, has General Chen already agreed to someone?"

"This is not."

"Then what questions does General Chen have?" Xia Houdun didn't give him a chance to read it, and pressed him to express his opinion.

Chen Guo had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Thank you for your great love for the general, but the general is sick, and he is planning to resign and return to his hometown tomorrow, maybe. Maybe he will fail the great general's love."

Xiahou Dun's face darkened. This Chen Guo actually rejected him. He turned his head and glanced at Cao Zhi. At this moment, Cao Zhi put down his teacup and asked gently, "Has General Chen submitted his resignation?"

"The humble job has not been finished yet, and I plan to submit it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Then, has General Chen recommended a successor?"

After all, Chen Guo is in his fifties, and he understands the world so well. He understood the implication of Cao Zhi's words, and immediately said, "I haven't recommended anyone for my humble job."

Cao Zhi smiled and stopped talking. Xiahou Dun also understood what Cao Zhi meant. We won't force you to resign, but please give me the [-] troops under General Chen, and then there will be no business for General Chen."

Chen Guo was heartbroken. At this moment, he could no longer care about Cao Pi, and hurriedly said, "There is no problem with this. When will the handover be made?"

"Right now, General Chen and I are going to the barracks."

Chen Guo's heart sank, and he wanted military power now. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, "Okay! I'll go with the general in one piece of clothing, please wait a moment."

He got up and hurried out of the lobby. Cao Zhi looked at his back and ordered the two bodyguards behind him, "Follow him!"

Two guards rushed out and followed Chen Guo. Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, Cao Pi probably hasn't come to look for him yet."

Cao Zhi smiled lightly, "At this critical juncture, it's better to read carefully."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

When Chen Guo left the lobby, she didn't go to get dressed, and when she found her son, she hurriedly said, "Something's going to happen, pack up your clothes and leave the city."

Chen Xi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what his father was talking about. Chen Guo glanced and saw two guards following from afar. He waved his hand in a hurry and slapped his son, cursing in a low voice: "You idiot, don't hurry up!" !"

Only then did Chen Xi come to his senses, covered his face and ran to the back house in a panic, Chen Guo looked up at the night, then turned to the two guards and said, "It's not too cold, so you don't need to add more clothes, tell the general, We're going to the barracks now."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

That night, a simple transfer of power took place in the city gate army barracks. General Chen Guo handed over the power to Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun appointed his confidant Zou Lin to take over the city gate army. Chen Guo then left Yedu and returned to his ancestral home in Anyang.

The ownership of the three thousand city gate army was not worth mentioning a few months ago, but at the moment when the situation in Yedu was extremely delicate, the city gate army's seizure of power by Xiahou Dun undoubtedly became the fuse of the intensification of conflicts in Yedu.

Xiahou Dun's army then entered the southern city of Yedu and quickly took control of half of Yedu. Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang reached a tacit agreement, planting the inside and highlighting the outside, while Cao Zhang's army controlled the outside of Yedu.

The Huben Guards, who were loyal to Cao Pi, retreated to the north city, splitting Yedu into two, Xiahou Dun's army controlled the south city, and Cao Pi's army controlled the north city.

The situation in Yedu began to deteriorate rapidly. In desperation, Cao Pi sent people to Qingzhou again and ordered Cao Xiu to lead his army back to Yedu. At the same time, Cao Pi finally agreed to Liu Jing's conditions, but before abolishing Emperor Han, he hoped that Liu Jing was able to release Cao Ren first, and Hua Xin rushed to Chang'an overnight.

The atmosphere in Yedu City was extremely tense. The civil war was about to break out, and the streets and alleys became deserted. This time, it was not because of the economic decline, but because the internal strife between the Cao brothers caused panic among the people.

The Jucai Tavern near the west gate of Yedu was not searched by Cao Jun. After Li Fu returned to Yedu, he still used it as a source of intelligence for the Han army in Yedu. The order came, requiring them to find a way to persuade Cao Zhang to transfer back to Qingzhou's army.

The lights in the room were dim, and Li Fu and several of his subordinates were discussing how to complete the task. Li Fu's subordinates were all extremely capable people. Although they also had many connections, Cao Zhang had stayed in Youzhou for a long time and had no influence in Yedu , so that they could not find a way for a while.

At this time, one of the subordinates sighed: "It's a pity that all the taverns are closed now, otherwise it would be a good way to spread the news in the taverns."

"Don't say such useless words!"

Li Fu interrupted the feelings of his subordinates, his face was very serious, and he said to everyone: "This task should be the decision of the King of Han. It is related to the overall situation. We must go all out. Think about it, everyone, it may not be Cao Zhang's decision directly." In terms of connections, you can use a roundabout way to let someone with strength persuade Cao Zhang."

Speaking of this, Li Fu suddenly thought of a person, and he thought to himself, "Maybe if you invite this person to come forward, you can persuade Cao Zhang!" '

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Although Cao Zhang supported Cao Zhi to replace his elder brother Cao Pi, he also had his own selfishness. He hoped that his third brother could seal Youzhou to himself and make him the real king of Youzhou. It is up to him to decide, that is to say, he will be the emperor of Youzhou. This is a compromise reached between him and Cao Zhi.

Currently, Cao Zhang lives in the military camp outside the city. The military camp is about ten miles away from the city of Yedu. Cao Zhang is firmly in his hands.

In fact, according to Cao Zhang's idea, when Cao Pi went to Xuzhou to supervise the war, he could launch a coup and overthrow Cao Pi's position, but Cao Zhi firmly opposed it. Only when the original army was defeated could he seize Cao Pi's responsibility and force Cao Pi to abdicate.

Facts have proved that Cao Zhi was very farsighted. The defeat of the original army caused the government and the people to boil, and the voices demanding Cao Pi's resignation became louder and louder. Even the important ministers who had always supported Cao Pi, such as Guoyuan, Dong Zhao, Xu Jie, Han Song and others They all expressed their positions.

That's why Cao Zhang had to admire the foresight of the third brother, and it was this incident that made Cao Zhang think that the third brother was more capable than his elder brother Cao Pi to gradually bring the weak Cao Wei out of the predicament. Cao Zhang also willingly gave up Duke Wei's inheritance To the third brother Cao Zhi.

However, Cao Zhang has another worry at this time, that is, his other [-] Youzhou Army is now in the hands of Zhang Liao, will Zhang Liao cleanse the generals?

At the beginning, my father made it very clear that the [-] troops were used to defend Yedu, and he was still in command, but the eldest brother forcibly handed over [-] troops to Zhang Liao, which undoubtedly meant depriving him of his military power.

Thinking of Zhang Liao's method of leading troops, Cao Zhang felt very worried. Zhang Liao was very likely to purge the high-level generals. In this way, his foundation in Youzhou would be shaken.

Just when Cao Zhang was worried, there was a report from the personal guard outside the tent: "I am reporting to the governor, Wang Shi is asking to see him outside the camp."
