Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Their chess game, from day to night, there are more and more pieces on the board, but there is no intention of stopping.

In the chess game between the masters, each move requires careful consideration and various calculations on how to go next. The closer they get to the end, the slower their moves will be.

The old man, Sima Hui and the others could only watch from the sidelines, and no one dared to leave. The night passed quickly, they were sleepy and hungry, but no one dared to disturb or leave.

In the early morning, the two old Taoists were still struggling. They didn't know they were tired or hungry at all, and they didn't even change their posture, but Sima Hui and others were about to lose their hold.

The villagers in Taiping Village seem to think that Taoist and others don't exist. They should do what they should do in normal times, and they are doing what they are doing now, without even taking a second look.

The game between the two Taoists continued until the afternoon of this day.

"Friend Daoist, you lost."

The donkey rider said confidently.

"Not necessarily!"

Daoist's black stone lightly released and landed among many white stones. The pattern on the chessboard suddenly changed again, turning things around, but it was still unbeatable.

The donkey rider thought for a while: "Are we tied now?"

The Taoist nodded and said: "There is no winner, this chess game is still far away."

The donkey rider said with a smile: "We will have a winner one day."

As he said that, he put down all his baizi, drove the donkey, turned around and walked out of Taiping Village, and of course the old man had to follow.

Jingle Bell……

The bell hanging on the donkey rang again, and it gradually faded away until the sound disappeared completely. The Taoist heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this person would not be easy to deal with!

"This chess game, I'm afraid it's an endgame, but it's only temporary, and the winner will definitely be determined."

The Taoist waved his hand lightly, and slapped it on the stone table. The table instantly fell apart, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.

"Sima Hui!"

The Taoist said lightly.

"The disciple is here, does the master have any orders?"

Sima Hui immediately stepped forward and asked.

"The situation cannot be changed, nor can the general trend of the world. You can tell Liu Yan to be emperor. As for the variable, you can't die, but you can find ways to control it."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he also left slowly until he disappeared in front of everyone.

"Xiaoqiu, go back and tell Liu Yan that I should go to Yizhou with you. This matter cannot be neglected."

Sima Hui said solemnly: "Li Yan, go find Li Yuan and ask him to stay by Chen Yang's side and wait for my news."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly, but they didn't know who the master was, so they could only follow the plan.

Sima Hui didn't stop, and took Xiaoqiu directly to the south, almost non-stop. It didn't take long before they finally arrived at Shudu and saw Liu Yan.

"Sir, you are here, why didn't you notify me in advance and let me pick you up?"

Liu Yan greeted Sima Hui enthusiastically, and after walking inside, he asked again: "I haven't seen you for several years after the Red Cliff. Do you have any instructions for coming here?"

Sima Hui said, "Proclaim yourself emperor as soon as possible."

"what?"

Liu Yan felt that he had heard something wrong: "Sir, now is not the time to become emperor, you can't do this!"

Sima Hui shook his head and said, "If I let you become emperor, it means that the time has come. You can just do it. Don't forget everything about you. I gave it to you. If you don't agree, I can support another Liu Yan." come out."

Liu Yan stood up terrified, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, I'll announce that I'm the emperor."

After Sima Hui finished speaking, he didn't stay in Shudu, but he only left Xiaoqiu.

Xiao Qiu still had to stay, as a pawn to monitor Liu Yan.

"Xiaoqiu, do you know what the master means by making such an arrangement?"

Liu Yan could only look at Xiao Qiu for help, he really didn't want to become emperor so soon, he had other plans.

"There are some things that you don't need to know, and you don't need to ask again, otherwise it will only bring you death."

Xiaoqiu said coldly: "Also, don't get close to me, as long as I see you, I will be disgusted to death."

She snorted coldly and stayed here reluctantly.

Liu Yan was silent for a while, clenched his hands slightly into fists, and said coldly: "I have to admit, you gave me everything I can have now, but I am not your dog, so you just wait for me." Go!"

Next, Liu Yan called Zhuge Liang back from Badong and told him about Sima Hui and how he planned to become emperor.

-

From Guanzhong to the south, Chen Yang did not pass through Badong, but went to Xiangyang first.

Knowing that Chen Yang was coming back in advance, Cao Cao and the others went out of the city to greet him in person, and even brought out almost all the officials in Xiangyang. The scene even shocked Chen Yang.

"Prime Minister, keep a low profile in the future." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"They also sincerely thank you. If it weren't for Zi'an, Runan and Wancheng would not be able to hold on, and we would have to move the capital again."

Cao Cao said gratefully: "Come, quickly invite our great hero back to the city."

Afterwards, a carriage drove up, Cao Cao took Chen Yang into the carriage, and went back to Xiangyang together, with other generals following him.

Go back to Cao's house.

Cao Cao briefly told Chen Yang about the recent events, especially emphasizing the matter of Cao Ang.

Cao Ang did not go to Wuguan at the beginning, so Cao Cao did not get news of him.

When the news came back to Xiangyang, Cao Ang had taken Longxi down, which was a great surprise for Cao Cao.

"Zixiu is an apprentice taught by you, Zi'an, and the credit this time is also due to you, Zi'an." Cao Cao said gratefully.

"No, no, that is the strength and prestige of the eldest son, and it has nothing to do with me."

Chen Yang could only speak modestly.

Cao Cao laughed and raised his glass to toast.

"Prime Minister, there is news from Yizhou!"

At this time, Xun Yu hurried in and sent a piece of information, anxiously saying: "Yizhou Liuyan, proclaimed emperor!"

"Liu Yan has proclaimed himself emperor!"

Cao Cao opened the information and saw that it said that Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, and his country name was Shu.

He said angrily, "Traitor!"

Xun Yu said again: "Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor smoothly, recalled Zhang Fei who attacked Changsha, and then joined forces with Zhuge Liang to attack Badong again with all his strength."

Cao Cao said angrily: "He dares! Immediately pass on our military order to garrison Badong, and there must be no mistakes."

Xun Yu hurried down to dispatch troops and generals.

Unsurprisingly, after Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor, the first thing he had to deal with was the Cao family, which is now the big man.

As long as the Han Dynasty is overthrown, the emperor Liu Yan will be much more justified.

"It will be a matter of time before Liu Yan becomes emperor. After all, Yizhou is out of the control of our big man, and he also has ambitions." Chen Yang said.

"Zian, you are right, but... a mere Liu Yan dares to be so arrogant!"

Cao Cao didn't dare to say the word proclaiming the emperor now, he snorted coldly: "Zian, I'm afraid I can't clean up the dust for you, I want to go to the palace to see Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he also left in a hurry.

No matter what Cao Cao discusses now, he doesn't need to ask Liu Xie's opinion at all.

He did this because he wanted a justifiable name.
