Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"exactly."

Chen Yang interrupted before Cao Cao could finish speaking.

"How is this possible?"

During that time in Chibi, although Cao Cao was in a coma and hadn't woken up yet, he found out all about what happened later, and said in surprise, "How could he not be dead yet?"

Chen Yang said mysteriously: "Whether it is true or not, the world will know after a while. When the matter in Hanzhong is over, I will go to the capital of Shu to reveal his true face. By the way, I will use Zhuge Jin and Sun Quan to attack Zhuge Liang." .”

Hearing that Chen Yang had made arrangements, Cao Cao was completely relieved.

"I'll leave this to you," Cao Cao said gratefully.

"Old Cao, why are you being polite to me?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

A sentence of old Cao seems to bring Cao Cao's memory back to the time when Xudu's tavern used to be.

It's a pity that time has passed forever, and Xudu is still in ruins.

After saying goodbye to Cao Cao, Chen Yang returned to his residence in Xiangyang.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure sitting in the front yard. She supported her head, as if she was very distressed.

"Xiangxiang, why are you also in Xiangyang?" Chen Yang said.

"Husband, you are back."

The person sitting in the front yard was Sun Shangxiang. She trotted over and threw herself into Chen Yang's arms, and then heard the sound of sobbing slowly coming from her arms.

Obviously, Sun Shangxiang came to Xiangyang for Sun Quan. She would not be unaware of such a serious incident, nor would she not be worried.

The last thing Chen Yang wants to see is for Sun Shangxiang to be in a dilemma. When Sun Ce died, the conflict between Chen Yang and Jiang Dong had not yet been resolved, and Sun Shangxiang was like this, even now.

"Husband, what's the matter with my second brother?" Sun Shangxiang nervously grabbed Chen Yang's arm, raised his head and asked.

"It's all right."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. They should rest at the post in Xiangyang. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."

"Husband, thank you!"

Sun Shangxiang stood on tiptoe, kissed Chen Yang lightly on the lips, and then left here like a breeze.

It was only natural that she was worried about Sun Quan.

Chen Yang had nothing to do in Xiangyang, so he sat in the front yard, waiting for Sun Shangxiang to come back, until the evening of that day.

"Husband."

Sun Shangxiang ran back happily, threw herself into Chen Yang's arms again, and hugged her husband gratefully.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chen Yang said softly.

"I knew that as long as my husband is willing to make a move, Second Brother will be fine, but he... Can Duke Wei really forgive him for what he did?"

Sun Shangxiang didn't know much about the inside story, but she still knew something about what happened.

"I'll give them a chance to make amends. If he knows how to cherish it, everything will be fine." Chen Yang said.

"I know, husband, you gave the second brother this opportunity because of me. Thank you very much."

Sun Shangxiang was still a little depressed, and said softly: "If there is another time, no matter what you want to do, husband, I will support you, even if it is to kill... I don't want to let myself be a concern around husband."

While caring about Sun Quan, she also sympathized with Chen Yang's difficulties.

Chen Yang hugged her and comforted her: "Don't worry, there will be no next time. When do you plan to go back to Lujiang?"

Sun Shangxiang said: "When the second brother returns to Wu County, I will return to Lujiang."

Chen Yang said: "I have to go to Hanzhong tomorrow, so I may not be with you for long."

This time I went back to Xiangyang only to solve Sun Quan's matter, and I came back temporarily.

The battle situation in Hanzhong is still very urgent. As the general, he cannot ignore it.

"It's enough for my husband to accompany me for one night."

Sun Shangxiang didn't ask too much, hugged Chen Yang's waist tightly, took a deep breath, and was surrounded by familiar auras.

-

A few days later, Hanzhong.

Huang Zhong stood on the tower, covered in blood, and his armor was also stained red layer by layer.

At their feet, there were corpses, some of their enemies and some of their own.

"When will the general come back?"

There are soldiers who are alive and said hopefully.

"I heard that Fancheng was also attacked by the enemy. Fancheng is closer to Xiangyang. It is the current capital of our big man. The general will not come back for a while."

Another soldier said: "The Shu army outside is fighting fiercely. Zhuge Liang will definitely not let us go."

During the time when Chen Yang left, Zhuge Liang learned that Fancheng was defeated, and continued to attack Hanzhong like crazy. More than half of the more than 1 people left by Cao Cao died at this time.

Those artillery, firearms and other weapons were also consumed.

Without the assistance of firearms, the strength of the guards in Hanzhong was greatly reduced, and Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity to fight harder and more urgently.

Huang Zhong personally led the army to resist, and every time he came down from the battlefield, he was out of breath, and several times he was about to be overwhelmed.

"The general... will he give up on us?" Another soldier asked worriedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the old general is still there." The rest of the soldiers reminded.

They shut up at the same time, and then looked at Huang Zhong.

"I'm still getting old!"

Huang Zhong looked at the setting sun in the sky, and said weakly: "No matter whether the general comes back to save us in time, I will stick to it with you. If I die, I will die in Hanzhong together. I will never leave alone."

"We trust the old general."

"That's right, I would like to stick to Hanzhong with the old general."

"Stick to Hanzhong!"

Morale, simply pumped up, blood boils.

After a while, the slanting sun faded away, and the last ray of sunlight was also swallowed by darkness.

Even though it was night, Huang Zhong didn't dare to be negligent, and all the defenses he should have were arranged.

After the third watch, deafening drums sounded from the tower.

Huang Zhong didn't even take off his armor when he was resting, and there were still mottled blood stains on it, and the smell of blood was very unpleasant.

"Old general, the Shu army is attacking the city again!"

A soldier ran over and said anxiously.

"All follow me to the tower!"

Huang Zhong shouted loudly.

Because the enemy came to attack at night, by the time the guards found out, many enemies had already climbed up the tower of Hanzhong along the ladder and began to fight.

The guards on the tower fell down one after another.

The Shu army was very fierce, and they killed anyone they saw. They came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

The guards in Hanzhong were all terrified.

"Don't mess everything up!"

Huang Zhong raised his sword and fought his way up the tower, shouting: "Everyone obey orders, set up formation!"

His appearance allowed the chaotic guards to regain their backbone.

This fight lasted until dawn, and the Shu army retreated.

There were more than 1000 fewer guards on Cao Jun's side, and the rest were still alive, all wounded, sitting on the ground panting, very sleepy.

Huang Zhong took a deep breath, calmed down the disordered breath, and said: "As long as we persist for a day or two, the general will come back to save us."

The soldiers had the same fantasy, but they were more disappointed.

Below the city tower, Zhuge Liang stood in front of the army.

"Huang Zhong won't last long."

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "Meng Qi, this afternoon, you continue to lead the troops to fight, and bring Huang Zhong's head back to me as much as possible."

"Yes!"

Ma Chao nodded.

As long as Huang Zhong dies, no one can guard Hanzhong.

Even if Chen Yang came back, it would be too late.
