Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

If Cao Cao also knew his mistake, Chen Yang would not be able to leave and never come back, let alone leave Ma Chao in Xiangyang.

They may not die if they go back, but the end will not be so good.

They never even thought about going back voluntarily. Of course, if they were captured or threatened, that would be another story.

"Cao Zidan, you let my family leave, and our brother will give you a credit!"

Xia Houheng said loudly: "Otherwise, even if we die, we won't go with you!"

As long as the family can leave, their Xiahou family still has the hope of revenge.

Xia Houba drew his sword out of its sheath and said, "If you want to fight, then do it! If you want us to go back, let us go."

Seeing that they were so extreme, Cao Zhen also felt very difficult now, hesitated for a while, shook his head and said: "Everyone disperse, let's go!"

"what?"

Xia Houba asked in astonishment.

"You guys go, I'll tell you when I go back, I can't catch up with anyone, if I get to the bottom of it, I can still take this responsibility, you go!"

Cao Zhen didn't want to fight with them. After all, they were brothers who were born and died together before, so how could brothers kill each other.

There have been a lot of things happening in Xiangyang recently, and Cao Zhen also feels particularly helpless.

"I'll go back with you!"

Xia Houheng said with some concern: "You all leave, this is my order."

Cao Zhen waved his hand: "No need, the whole army retreats!"

Then those tiger and leopard riders really left, and they all went back, and soon there was only smoke and dust in front of their eyes, giving them an unreal feeling.

"Cao Zidan, I, Xia Houheng, owe you this favor!"

Xia Houheng shouted, regardless of whether the other party heard it or not.

Cao Zhen has traveled so far, so if he can’t hear it, he’s sure. This favor is definitely owed. I hope nothing happens to him after he goes back, otherwise the brothers will have no chance to pay it back.

"Brother, let's go!"

Xia Houba said.

Their only way out now is to go to Chang'an in the northwest. Now they have to leave as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Even if Cao Zhen is willing to let them go, who can guarantee that Cao Pi will also find someone to catch up.

The tiger and leopard riders quickly returned to Xiangyang. After Cao Zhen put them in order, he went directly to the imperial city to find Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, I released Xia Houheng's family."

Cao Zhen didn't hide it. If Cao Cao wanted to investigate, it would be very easy to find out. It would be better to simply confess that life or death is up to fate.

"What did you say?"

Cao Cao, who was correcting the memorial, suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes were staring at Cao Zhen.

"I let them all go. I don't want brothers to kill each other. If your majesty wants to kill me, there is nothing to say."

After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he knelt down, put life and death aside, and did whatever he wanted to do with it.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and all his anger dissipated. The sentence "I don't want brothers to kill each other" touched him. Xiahou's family and Cao's family were originally one, and he did something wrong.

Thinking of the end, he just waved his hand to let Cao Zhen go down, and didn't care about it any more.

Anyway, what didn't happen has already happened, and he has no ability to undo it, so let's go when they leave.

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to be fine, and left here in a hurry.

It's just that Cao Pi was very upset when he got the news, and secretly sent someone to chase him down, but he couldn't catch up with anything.

-

Yecheng.

When Sima Yi got the news that Wang Ji had someone send him back, he was so surprised that he immediately called Yang Xiu over.

Those new types of artillery, as well as weapons that cut iron like mud, are a great threat to them. If the two armies confront each other, if they confront this kind of weapon, they will be killed indiscriminately, and they can be completely wiped out at will.

A sense of oppression appeared in Sima Yi and the others. If there is no way to deal with it, it is better to hand over the world to Chen Yang.

"Your Majesty, does Wang Boyu have any other suggestions?"

Yang Xiu asked hastily.

"In the letter he sent back, he didn't write any proposals. It is estimated that he has nothing to do."

Sima Yi shook his head. Even Wang Ji can't do anything now, so they have no other measures to deal with it.

If they really want to fight with Chen Yang, their rubbish weapons and hammers, the kind that are directly pressed to the ground and rubbed, it is impossible to win.

"If it's really as powerful as what Wang Boyu said in his letter, I can't deal with it."

Yang Xiu shook his head and said, "Unless Chen Yang can have it, we can have it all."

This sentence seemed to remind Sima Yi of something, and he immediately said: "Dezu, you are right, if Chen Yang can have it, we can all have it, just like the artillery in the past, wouldn't it be the same?"

Yang Xiu immediately reacted and asked, "Your Majesty is saying, as before, to steal Chen Yang's manufacturing method?"

"That's right!"

Sima Yi said solemnly: "The only thing we can do now is this. As long as we steal the method, Chen Yang will not be a threat to us, no! I will send people to sneak into Chang'an, and I have to get the things no matter what. .”

Yang Xiu reminded: "If I were Chen Yang, with such a powerful weapon, I would definitely not let others get it at will. I am afraid that it will not be easy to go in and steal it. Even if I can steal it, it will waste a lot of time. If If Chen Yang continues to go north, General Wang will definitely not be able to stop him."

Sima Yi pondered for a while: "I will ask Wang Boyu to delay the time as much as possible. As long as it can be delayed, that is how long. As for the matter of stealing the method, Dezu, can you arrange someone to complete it? On the premise of not revealing Come on, as soon as possible."

Yang Xiu said solemnly: "I will do my best, and I hope I won't disappoint Your Majesty!"

"I believe in Dezu!"

Sima Yi said loudly: "That damned Chen Yang is really uncomfortable. Sooner or later, I will make him regret it!"

As time went by, Chen Yang's development became more and more powerful.

It is more difficult for them to make Chen Yang regret it now, but they regret it now, if they knew this, they should have used all means and at all costs to kill Chen Yang in the cradle.

"There is also the matter of Ma Mengqi. I just received a letter from him yesterday, and I have already gained Cao Cao's trust. I am waiting for an opportunity to implement our plan."

Sima Yi continued: "Cao Cao, I have nothing to fear. Cao Wei is in chaos, and the Cao family is self-defeating. Sooner or later, I will take Xiangyang down."

"When the time comes to occupy the south, our Da Jin will have the land spread across the north and south, and we will have enough background and strength to deal with Chen Yang."

Yang Xiu agreed, "However, this matter must be done as soon as possible. If Cao Cao becomes suspicious of Ma Mengqi, everything we have done before will be wasted."

Sima Yi said in agreement: "I want to take Xiangyang within three months, and I also want to get Chen Yang's new weapon manufacturing method within these three months."

His appetite has grown a little bit.
