Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The next morning, Chen Yang asked Wenpin to gather their people outside the city.

He doesn't know how to use the soldiers and horses of the Cao family, and there are indeed some elements of personal grievances in this kind of thing. Boss Cao is not very interested in Nanzhong.

However, Chen Yang also had his own soldiers, those who were in Lujiang before, but they were used less.

Zhang Chunhua and the others were rescued in Xiangyang. As the capital of the Wei Dynasty, this place is very safe and does not need strict protection. It is no problem to take those soldiers and horses away.

"My sisters, I'm sorry!"

The red clam bowed in front of them, and said, "My husband is leaving because of me, and it's all my fault."

For this matter, Hongfu still felt that he was wrong.

"Sister Hongfu, don't say that. We are a family. Grandpa is in danger. Husband must go to save him."

Zhang Chunhua first said: "If my husband dares not to go, I will go instead. Between us sisters, you don't have to be so polite."

The other ladies nodded slightly in agreement.

"Sister, don't worry, I will protect my husband well, even if I die, I won't hurt him."

The red clam reassured them firmly.

"It's almost there, let's go!"

Chen Yang held the hand of the red clam, bid farewell to them, and left Xiangyang slowly.

This time they left without telling anyone else, except for the wives, no one else came to see them off, not even Cao Fan.

He didn't take away the generals of the Cao family either, but Guan Yu knew about this and pushed Guan Ping in, and Wei Yan also said that he would go with Chen Yang.

They were all generals recovered by Chen Yang. To them, Chen Yang was closer than Cao Cao.

Other strong generals remained in the Northern Expeditionary Army, such as Zhao Yun and other top-notch ones, Chen Yang would not allow them to follow him, after all, there were no weak people around Sima Yi.

For Wei Yan and Guan Ping's joining, Chen Yang did not refuse. After rectifying everyone, he left with two thousand soldiers and two thousand beauty troops. He felt that this was the most shabby job he had done since he went out.

Although Pinghe Weiyan and the others also had Ya Ruo and Tara leading the Red Face Army, there were no more than [-] available people around them.

If he asks Cao Cao for someone, he can definitely give it.

But Chen Yang also saw Cao Cao's attitude yesterday, so he didn't do this.

After all, people are subject to change, especially Cao Cao, who is already the emperor.

Sometimes it's not just about changing. As an emperor, Cao Cao has to take care of many issues.

"Because of my business, please generals."

The red clam looked at them gratefully.

"Ma'am, you're being polite. The general's business is our business." Wei Yan said with a smile.

The red clam's eyes are red, and she used to feel inferior because she was a native of South China, but now seeing that they are really kind to her, she feels warm in her heart.

Later, they entered Yizhou along the Yangtze River, and then went south to Nanzhong through Yizhou.

At this time, Cao Pi had not returned to Yizhou, but the guards here saw Chen Yang passing by, and they all treated him politely.

Chen Yang only took part of the food in Yizhou, then continued south without stopping, and soon came to the vicinity of Zhuti, and if he went south again, he would be Jianning.

Here, it can be regarded as entering Zhuge Liang's jurisdiction, fortified people can be seen everywhere, and there are various strongholds, as if they are on guard against someone from Yizhou who will come in.

Chen Yang didn't want to startle the enemy, and he didn't directly attack those strongholds, but just watched from a distance.

"Where did you enter Jiaozhou from when you left Nanzhong?"

Chen Yang called the three people over, he had to find out where the grandfather and the others might be going to facilitate the rescue. If they revealed their location, they would be easily chased and killed by Zhuge Liang.

"We left from the deep mountain in the southeast of Yongchang."

One of them said: "Grandpa and the others parted from us from the southeast. They probably went south, which is the direction of the former Ugo country."

Ever since Chen Yang killed Tu Wugu and then wiped out the rattan armored soldiers, the Wugo Kingdom was basically disintegrated and split into scattered tribes, each occupying a place as king.

"That place is still far away from us."

The red clam was familiar with the geographical environment here, and asked, "Sir, do we still want to go?"

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Of course we will go, but Zhuge Liang has set up so many strongholds here, obviously to guard against us. It is not feasible to go directly south from Jianning, we have to bypass Jianning."

Although Wei Yan didn't quite understand the environment here, he was also very aware of the consequences of detours, saying: "This will increase the time we spend on the road."

Guan Ping said: "If we don't make a detour, we can only fight all the way."

Red Fu's heart tightened, and he said, "We only have 4000 people, if we continue fighting all the way, what a huge loss we will have."

Ya Ruo nodded and said: "Sister Hongfu is right, Zhuge Liang just wants to wait for us to show up, if we fight all the way, we are not enough to kill."

After these words fell, everyone was silent.

"Husband, let's make a detour first."

Red clam said.

"If Zhuge Liang wants to kill them all, after so many days, Grandpa and the others may have...whether they make a detour or not, it will be very difficult."

One of the Nanzhong people said helplessly.

The red clam's heart tightened, this is a fact that has to be admitted.

Chen Yang held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I believe it will be fine."

After determining the next strategic direction, they rested for one night, and then moved again, bypassing Jianning and rushing to the south.

-

Inside Yongchang.

"Prime Minister, it is basically certain that Chen Yang already knows about the hole."

Yan Yan cupped his hands and said: "According to the news brought by Sima Yi, the Cao family started a full-scale northern expedition, but Chen Yang was not in the northern expedition team. He must have come to the south to rescue and bring the cave, but where did Chen Yang come? Enter Nanzhong, we can't find out."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang thought for a while and asked, "How did he know these things?"

He was very worried, and Chen Yang had that kind of prophetic ability.

Yan Yan said: "According to the reports from our spies, we brought the people who escaped from the cave to Xiangyang for help, and then Chen Yang found out."

Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What is Sima Yi going to do?"

"He decided to go all out with us!"

Yan Yan said: "He can only cooperate with us, otherwise, when Chen Yang returns, he won't last long."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Someone tell Sima Yi that cooperation is of course no problem, but the premise is that I want them to have a hundred cannons and enough shells. If he can't agree, we have to fight against Chen Yang ourselves."

Anyway, it was not without failure, Zhuge Liang decided to go all out this time, if Sima Yi refused to give, they would cut off their cooperation.
