Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Although I proclaim myself emperor in Xiangyang, since ancient times, Xiangyang has not been an imperial city, nor is it the best choice for an imperial city."

Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said calmly: "I want to go back to Xudu, or Luoyang, and rebuild the court, but it's not easy to do so."

Although Xiangyang is very good and it is also their current residence, it is far inferior to Xudu, where Boss Cao made his fortune, and Luoyang, where Zhongzheng is the most respected, in terms of geographical location. After all, no one has ever proclaimed emperor in Xiangyang.

Of course Cao Cao wanted to go north, at least he had to go back to Xudu. At best, he could take Luoyang, and Chang'an could also be taken. Cao Ang has now taken it, but it is too close to the Hetao area, so it is still unstable.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Lao Dian, will call you back sooner or later." Dian Wei said loudly.

As soon as his words came out, everyone laughed.

Cao Ang scratched his head and said, "I have never been able to take Hulao Pass, otherwise I could bring Luoyang back this time as a gift for my father's ascension to the throne."

Guo Jia said: "With our current overall strength, it is not impossible to take back Xudu and Luoyang. Sima Yi is far from Zi'an's opponent. How to take back in the future can only rely on Zi'an."

"I?"

Chen Yang waved his hands and said, "Actually, I don't understand anything."

They laughed again, if Chen Yang didn't understand anything, then no one would understand.

"Zian, I will really depend on you from now on."

Cao Cao said in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will go to the Northern Expedition in a while. I want to recover Xudu first."

Seeing Boss Cao like this, Chen Yang had no choice but to get serious, and said with cupped hands.

"With Zi'an's words, I can rest assured."

Cao Cao said with a satisfied smile, "Also, Ning'er is pregnant?"

Cao Ning has been married to Chen Yang for so many years, and Cao Cao has been waiting to hold his grandson for many years.

Chen Yang nodded and said, "In a few months, Your Majesty will be able to see your little grandson."

"So good!"

Cao Cao laughed, but said guiltily: "If I hadn't always needed you to fight outside, Ning'er's children would have been able to study after so many years of marriage. I am sorry for you!"

"Pass down my order to award Ning'er's unborn child to thousands of households. After the child's hair is tied, I will give another reward."

Before the child was born, Cao Cao was so generous, but it was normal to think about it. After all, he was the child of Cao Ning and Chen Yang, that is, Cao Cao's grandson. Maybe he would be the mainstay of the court like Chen Yang in the future.

"Congratulations Zi'an!"

Xun Yu smiled.

"Happy together."

Chen Yang cupped his hands politely, and then solemnly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Afterwards, Chen Yang, Cao Cao and others continued their courtesies, and they were finally able to leave the imperial city.

"General, please stay!"

Just as Chen Yang walked outside, he saw a somewhat lonely Liu Xie waiting for him.

"That... I don't know what to call you for a while."

Chen Yang looked at Liu Xie standing in front of him, and just wanted to say the word "Your Majesty", but he had to swallow the words, which seemed very awkward.

Liu Xie laughed: "My name is Bohe, the general must remember that I am not a monarch now, and I feel much more relaxed and free."

"Bohe is waiting for me here, what's the matter?"

Chen Yang asked him curiously.

"I want to ask, when will the general return to Lujiang?"

Liu Xie said helplessly: "Now in Xiangyang City, the only person who can talk to me for a few words is you, General, so I would like to ask that I can go to Lujiang with you."

Indeed, as he said, many people now go to curry favor with Cao Cao, or those who are close to Cao Cao, dismiss Liu Xie.

The only person who was willing to talk to him was Chen Yang.

This is the reason why only the newcomers laugh, and no one hears the old ones cry.

"In a short time, I will not leave Xiangyang, and I don't know when I will go back."

Cao Ning and the others' stomachs were getting bigger and bigger, and it was inconvenient to travel long distances. Chen Yang didn't plan to go back now. Besides, Boss Cao probably wanted to see his grandson.

"Then I can only go to Lujiang first."

Liu Xie clasped his hands and said, "Duke Wei just ascended the throne today, the General should be busy with a lot of things, I won't bother you."

After all, he took the only eunuch by his side and stayed away from the imperial city, the loneliness that could not be described from his back.

There are not many people left in the Great Han Dynasty. Except for an old eunuch, Liu Xie's current wife, Song Shi, and the former concubine He Shi of Emperor Ling, plus more than ten guards, were also given to him by Cao Cao. .

After parting with Chen Yang, Liu Xie came outside the city, where they had been waiting for a long time.

"Bo He, we are finally free." Looking at the sky outside, He lamented that he had never seen such an open world.

"It is indeed liberated, but not completely liberated."

Liu Xie said: "Even if I don't become the emperor, I have to be more cautious in my actions in the future. Your Majesty will not let us go lightly."

"If Xian'er can succeed, we will be safe and sound for the next ten or twenty years."

He naturally knew that even if he abdicated himself, Cao Cao's various surveillance would still be unavoidable.

If you do or say something wrong, you will end up dead.

"Xian'er, can she really do it?"

Song asked.

"I hope, after all, the general is not the kind of person who can be easily moved."

Thinking of all the grievances and grievances between himself and Chen Yang, Liu Xie felt very emotional and regretted.

Chen Yang and Liu Xie parted ways and were about to go home when they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl jogging over and asked, "Excuse me, are you the general?"

This little girl was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was messy, she didn't wear makeup, and she was exquisite and good-looking. She looked like a child from a poor family.

"It's me, what's the matter?" Chen Yang asked.

Unexpectedly, the girl knelt down and said: "Please do me a favor, the general. From now on, I am willing to be the general's servant and work hard without complaint."

Chen Yang asked curiously, "How can I help you?"

The girl's face was full of tears, and she said softly: "Please come with me, the general."

She stood up first and ran to the other end of the long street.

"Master, beware of fraud."

Wang Yue said vigilantly.

"It's okay, let's go and see what's going on."

Chen Yang was very curious about her sudden appearance, but wanted to see what a woman could do, so he followed her to the most remote corner of Xiangyang City.

It was very dirty and messy, and all kinds of poor people could be seen everywhere. When they saw a well-dressed person like Chen Yang walking in, they all looked over curiously.

"General, right here."

The girl knelt down again: "I beg the general to help me bury my father. Although I know that I am humble and have nothing, I can do anything for the general. I am a slave and a handmaid without any complaints."

Chen Yang looked around the place, there were medicine residues everywhere, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the air.

There was a man lying on the bed in front of him, he was breathless, and it seemed that there were corpse spots on the surface of his skin. Although he hadn't started to rot, he had been dead for a while.

"There are so many people in Xiangyang, why did you come to find me?"

Chen Yang stared straight at the girl, and asked again: "How do you think that I will definitely help you?"

"If you don't make it clear, I'm leaving now!"
