Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

On the second day after Cao Cao came to Hanzhong, he sent people to escort Xiahouyuan's body back. Xiahouheng brothers also left together. They had to bring the news of the death back and bury the body.

Chen Yang went out of the city to see Xia Houyuan off, and this was the last time he saw Xia Houyuan off.

Seeing them drifting away and finally slowly disappearing before his eyes, Chen Yang clenched his fists tightly.

On the battlefield, death is very common. No one can guarantee that he will not die on the battlefield.

"Zian, come with me, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he walked into the government office, and then showed him all the letters from Zhuge Liang to Sun Quan.

Chen Yang's eyes widened after reading it, he never thought that this kind of thing would happen again, if Jiang Dong rebelled, it would be another fatal blow to the Cao family.

"Zhuge Jin has been imprisoned in Badong by me. I asked Sun Quan to come to make amends in person before taking Zhuge Jin away. But he hasn't come to see me until now. When the matter in Hanzhong is over, if he hasn't said anything, I plan to Jiangdong uses troops."

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "First solve the internal troubles before we can deal with the external ones. What do you think of Zian?"

Chen Yang put away those letters, shook his head and said: "I am not opposed to sending troops to Jiangdong. Although I promised Zhou Gongjin that I could help him keep Jiangdong, but now interests are paramount. If our interests are violated and we don't know how to resist, it will be a big deal for us. unfavorable."

A smile appeared on Cao Cao's tense cheeks: "Zian, it's best if you agree."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, and said, "For the current plan, we can't allow Sun Quan and Liu Yan to have a chance to get in touch. We might start from Sun Shao, so that Sun Quan can't borrow from Sima Yi."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I probably know what to do, but I didn't give Sun Quan a fixed time limit, but he hasn't come to me yet. In fact, I hope he can come."

The arrival of Sun Quan means that there is no need to disperse our troops to deal with them in a short time.

"I think so too!"

Chen Yang added: "Perhaps, we can also use Zhuge Ziyu to deal with Zhuge Liang and the entire capital of Shu. I have to plan this plan when I go back. Maybe it will be really useful."

If Zhuge Liang wants to use countermeasures, he can also use them.

Think back then, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were won over by him using the trick of alienation.

A few more days passed, probably because Zhuge Liang learned that Cao Cao had come to Hanzhong to increase his troops, Zhuge Liang did not dare to act rashly, nor did he take the initiative to attack.

Normally speaking, Zhuge Liang doesn't have much time to delay, he won't do this.

Chen Yang ordered people to inquire about the news, and it seemed that there was really no other movement on Dingjun Mountain.

"Zilong, prepare yourself. This time you will be the general and attack Dingjun Mountain."

Chen Yang didn't know what Zhuge Liang was planning behind his back, but he vaguely felt that he would not do nothing, but take the initiative to attack and force out his tricks.

the next morning.

When Chen Yang and Cao Cao were about to send Zhao Yun out of the city to attack Dingjun Mountain, they saw a fast horse galloping from the east.

"Duke Wei, General, urgent report..."

Immediately the knight came to the gate of the city, pulled the reins hard, and jumped down in embarrassment. He was so anxious that he almost fell down, and shouted: "Fancheng is in a hurry. Sima Yi bypassed Nanyang and Xinye and went south to attack Fancheng, approaching Xiangyang. The Han River is heading east, and has reached Nanxiang, where it is joining the Jin army and is about to attack Fancheng, and General Guan will defend the city with all his strength."

what!

Chen Yang and Cao Cao jumped up in shock at the same time.

Fancheng is just north of Xiangyang. If Fancheng is lost, it will be like the Jiange in the middle of Shu being occupied by Chen Yang, and it will be even more dangerous.

Sima Yi's Shu army is currently stationed in Xudu and Yingchuan, but he actually skipped Xinye and other places.

If Sima Yi can really take down Fancheng, there will be another north-south attack, Xinye and Nanyang may not be able to defend, and the Han Dynasty in Xiangyang will have to move the capital again.

Even, it will give Zhuge Liang an opportunity to advance eastward.

Chen Yang finally figured out why there was no movement on Dingjun Mountain.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the time when Cao Cao came to Hanzhong, and when he was far away from Xiangyang, he joined forces with Jin. As long as Fancheng was taken, then Badong and Hanzhong would be in his pocket sooner or later.

"Fancheng, Guan Yunchang!"

Chen Yang was worried that something similar to Xia Houyuan would happen, and he was also worried that Xiangyang was in danger, so he hurriedly said: "Old General, Hanzhong will be left to you to guard, Duke Wei, let's go back quickly."

Must go back, Fancheng must not be lost.

Dingjunshan can no longer fight.

Cao Cao was awakened by Chen Yang's words, and quickly shouted: "Leave half of the people for General Huang, and the rest will follow me back."

"Huang Zhong, we will never disappoint Duke Wei and the general." Huang Zhong said loudly.

Then, the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were quickly mobilized.

Because the situation was critical, they couldn't wait any longer, and immediately marched eastward along the Han River, and ordered all the soldiers to bring their own enough food and hurry on the road at the fastest speed. The rear army carrying the food slowly followed behind.

Not long after they left, on Dingjun Mountain, Zhuge Liang seemed to have expected all this, and at this time ordered people to fight and attack Hanzhong.

Huang Zhong led more than 1 people to defend Hanzhong and resist Zhuge Liang. The two sides fought and fought until blood flowed like a river.

Chen Yang and the others have been on the road for nearly two days, almost non-stop, but most of their army is infantry, and the speed should not be too fast, this is the most troublesome place.

Two days later, there was still one-third of the distance to Fancheng.

On the way, Cao Cao sent someone to tell Cao Ang to attack Jin from Guanzhong as soon as possible to resolve the crisis in Fancheng.

At night, all the soldiers were exhausted, so Cao Cao could only order to garrison and rest, and if he drove off, even if he could return to Fancheng, he would not be able to fight.

However, news from Fancheng continued to come in, probably about how Guan Yu resisted the enemy's attack and how he defeated the enemy with fewer victories and more kills.

It sounds like the situation in Fancheng is very critical, but Guan Yu can still hold on, so he won't lose it immediately.

Cao Cao finally felt relieved: "Fortunately, Yun Chang was allowed to stay in Fancheng in advance."

Chen Yang said: "Yun Chang is not weak, but he is still alone after all. I am very worried that there will be other changes. Wei Gong, you first send someone along the road from Xiangyang to Jiangdong to investigate. I am afraid that Sun Quan will I will take this opportunity to make trouble."

Thinking that Lu Zi once knew how to cross the river with clothes, that was the starting point of Guan Yu's failure.

"Jiang Dong, that's right! If Jiang Dong also gets involved, that means we have enemies in three ways."

Cao Cao was startled, and instantly understood that this was also a great opportunity for Jiang Dong.

He immediately sent people to leave, rushed back to Xiangyang with the fastest speed, and arranged all the preparations for defending Jiangdong.

Chen Yang also ordered people to go back to Lujiang, and asked Ye Shun and Wenpin to pay attention. If they found soldiers and horses from Jiangdong approaching, they didn't need to be polite to them, just fight back.

"Zian, if Jiangdong wants to rebel, how can we deal with it?"

Cao Cao asked.
