"That's nice." General Yang muttered in a low voice, and then said dissatisfiedly, "But General Cao, the last general has been in the army for many years, and he has long been used to the life in the army. You let me go to those peaceful days. It will be unsuitable.”

"Besides, the soldiers and horses under the command of the last commander, who have been trained for many years by the commander of the last commander, have already developed feelings for them. It is not so easy to give up. It would be better for General Cao to withdraw the order and let me return to my original military position."

"The military order is like a mountain, how can you take it back at will?" Cao Ren glanced at the other party coldly and said, "You should step back first, you don't need to mention this matter again, I said, I will see your credit in my eyes, and I will take care of you in the future. I will pray for you."

"But……"

"No but, step back!" Cao Ren's face was cold, and his eyes looked coldly.

The man wanted to say more, but was pulled down by a general beside him.

Seeing this, Cao Ren squinted and glanced.

It seems that the aristocratic family generals in this army must be cleared out as soon as possible.

Otherwise, these people will be a scourge sooner or later.

But now is not the time, only to do these things later.

When he came back to his senses, Cao Ren immediately arranged for everyone to prepare, and the class teacher returned to Xuchang a day later.

He naturally wanted to go back immediately, but it was not so easy to withdraw the tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that there were still many soldiers from Xiliang, which greatly delayed the withdrawal time.

The preparation time for the day has been a little rushed.

But this is also something that can't be helped. According to Su Jijiu's letter, under the current situation, he must calm down.

Three days later.

Su Chen finally arrived outside Xuchang City.

A few dozen meters away, he could not help feeling a little surprised when he saw that there was no change in the distance, it was still very lively, and the gates of Xuchang City were wide open.

He thought that such a dangerous situation had occurred. There was no martial law in Xuchang City, but at least there should be some protective measures, but he did not expect it to remain the same.

At the city gate, the caravans came and went in a constant stream, and the people came and went, and it seemed that they had not been affected in any way.

Even the guards at the gate of the city did not add one person.

Su Chen squinted his eyes and looked at it for a few times, then he understood, and couldn't help shaking his head.

This situation cannot be said to be all good.

On the one hand, it shows that the situation in the city is still under control, but on the other hand, it also shows that the culprit who murdered the three young masters has not been thoroughly identified.

Opening the gates wide may just be a means to confuse the enemy.

"It's hard to tell what's true and what's false."

"With such a response, it can be seen that the current Xuchang City has not been completely chaotic."

He muttered a few words to himself, then waved his hand and led the soldiers into the city.

After three days of traveling day and night, Rao Shi Su Chen's physique was far superior to ordinary people. At this time, he was too tired. After entering the city, he immediately turned over and dismounted.

With his feet on the ground, he suddenly felt a sense of levity on the soles of his feet.

Almost all of these days were spent immediately, not to mention the bruised legs, even his body bones, which were shaken to pieces.

It was not bad for him. The dozen or so warriors fell to the ground as soon as they got off their horses. Although they stood up quickly, their trembling legs were enough to show how tired these people were at this time.

"Su Jijiu, you are back." As soon as Su Chen entered the city and dismounted, an obviously anxious voice rang not far from him.

Su Chen turned his head to look, and saw that it was a young general in his twenties, with more than a dozen tiger guards, driving a carriage over.

I saw that this man was burly, eight feet tall, with a thick waist and round shoulders, and it gave him a feeling of deja vu.

"Who is the little general?"

Since he knew his name, he should be an acquaintance, so Su Chen behaved quite politely.

"Su Jijiu, Xu Yi, is the son of the Prime Minister's close guard Xu Chu." The young general introduced himself, and Su Chen suddenly realized.

No wonder he always seemed to know him, it turned out to be Xu Chu's son.

He looked at Xu Yi a few more times, not to mention, the more he looked, the more he felt like Xu Chu.

Wait a few more years, maybe it will be another tiger crazy!Sichuan.

Chapter 224

"It turned out to be the son of Zhongkang, I said it looks familiar." Su Chen smiled, then glanced behind Xu Yi, a group of guards were looking at the four directions.

As for why Xu Yi came to pick him up instead of Xu Chu, it was because Cao Cao was in a semi-conscious state now, and Xu Chu wanted to stay by Cao Cao's side.

With Xu Chu's loyalty to Cao Cao, in such a crisis, I am afraid that even if he dies, Xu Chu will unswervingly stay half a step away from Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao urgently called him back to Xuchang, and he would definitely send someone to come to meet him. If the person who came to pick him up was someone else, Cao Cao was not at ease, so he must be a trusted confidant.

Xu Yi, the son of Xu Chu, is undoubtedly a good candidate.

"At the order of my father, I have been waiting for Su Jijiu here for three days, and I also asked Su Jijiu to follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xu Yi cupped his hands at Su Chen, and said solemnly, "Please!"

Su Chen waved his hand, knowing that the matter was urgent, he didn't say much, he raised his foot and got on the carriage.

"Wait and follow." After Su Chen got into the carriage, Xu Yi said while looking at the dozen or so soldiers who were escorting over.

"No." More than ten people responded quickly.

The carriage starts.

Xu Yi opened the curtain, walked in, and sat upright near Su Chen, her muscles were so tight that she seemed to be ready to attack at any time.

Su Chen frowned, this Xuchang City was Cao Cao's base camp, how could it be so disturbing?

Seemingly aware of Su Chen's doubts, Xu Yi kept his sword in his hand and explained, "Don't blame Su for offering wine, this is what Father Father meant."

"Now the city is very unsafe. There are many dead men who risked their lives to kill. Not only the three sons, but also many ministers in the city were assassinated. My father was worried about the safety of Lord Jijiu, so he told me severely that even if I died, I would also You must not be harmed in the slightest."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Zhongkang has a heart."

He was still a little moved.

Xu Chu can even disregard the life of his own son, and also protect his safety, not to mention other things, this loyalty and friendship alone is enough for Su Chen to remember.

"It's just that there is such a mess in this city? It stands to reason that with the Prime Minister's means, it shouldn't be like this." Su Chen frowned.

Although Cao Cao is now semi-conscious, don't forget that there are still people like Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu who make suggestions. These people can easily deal with all kinds of situations, let alone five people gathered together. together.

"I heard from my father that it was the Prime Minister's intention, and the purpose was to create an illusion and attract people who were secretly planning." Xu Yi scratched the back of his head, and said with some uncertainty, "Actually, I think it is better to block the city gate and send A heavy search may still be effective, like the prime minister did, so far, no one has been caught, but the civil and military in the city have been frightened."

"Hehe, the Prime Minister is fishing for big fish with a long line. The Prime Minister is not interested in ordinary small fish and shrimp." Su Chen shook his head.

He naturally understood what Cao Cao meant.

The more stable the city is, the more those who secretly plan will lose their temper, and the more they want to do something big and muddy the water in Xuchang City.

And as long as these people make a move, they will definitely show their feet.

On the contrary, if Xuchang City is blocked, those people will know that their deeds may be exposed. As long as they are not fools, they will secretly hide and wash away the traces. At that time, it will be Cao Cao, and it will not be so easy to find people.

After all, it's really hard to find someone in this day and age.

Thinking about the history, when Sun Ce was assassinated while hunting, you know the danger.

At that time, Sun Ce entered the mountain forest alone, and there was no guard to follow. Just thinking about it, Su Chen would not believe it if there was nothing tricky about it.

In addition, Sun Ce is also the lord of Jiangdong after all. The place he hunts must be very safe, and Sun Ce hunts at will, and the location is very random, but those assassins seem to know that Sun Ce will definitely go to that mountain forest. went to ambush.

The last point is also the key reason why Su Chen felt that Cao Cao would do this.

After Sun Ce was assassinated, the huge Jiang Dong was unable to find out the real murderer, and then randomly pushed a few suspicious families out to take the blame.

You must know that Sun Ce was the master of Jiangdong after all. He was assassinated to death, and the result was so sloppy. It can be said to be quite ridiculous.

Su Chen has seen in many unofficial histories that Sun Ce was killed by Sun Quan's plan.

Originally, he didn't take it too seriously.

But based on his current understanding of Sun Quan, he was a very scheming person. Maybe Sun Ce's death was really inseparable from Sun Quan.

It was no surprise that Cao Cao acted so cautiously as the brothers were so cruel.

"I don't understand what Su Jijiu said, but my father said, talk less about everything and listen more." Xu Yi said.

"Zhongkang's godson is good." Su Chen glanced at Xu Yi with relief.

Although on the surface, he is a few years younger than Xu Yi, but he has two lives, plus many years of fighting, his mentality and state of mind are naturally not comparable to Xu Yi.

"Hehe..." Xu Yi smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at Su Chen with some admiration, "Su Jijiu, I heard my father talk about you many times, and I have already recited those things about you. It's overcooked, my father said that you are a great talent, a wizard... You can't find a second person in this world."

"Zhongkang praised it." Su Chen quickly waved his hand in a humble manner.

"Father also said that he would betroth an aunt from the clan to Su Jijiu as his wife, so that our two families could be more relatives." Xu Yi continued.

"Cough cough..." Su Chen was suddenly choked and coughed violently.

Xu Chu was so obsessed with this matter that he didn't expect that he would not forget it even now, and he even told juniors like Xu Yi.

Su Chen can guess what Xu Chu's big mouth said in the clan.

Su Chen felt a chill all over his body when he thought that the people of the Xu family would see his eyes in the future.

"Father also said..." Xu Yi was about to speak, but Su Chen quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Okay, no need to say any more."

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded naively.

"Then I won't say it, but Su Jijiu is so handsome, if I were a woman, I would also be moved."

"The women in the family who are waiting for the word will definitely like it."

Xu Yi said.

Su Chen couldn't help holding his forehead immediately.

Well, Xu Yi didn't understand what he meant at all.

He simply didn't bother to explain any more, and simply changed the subject and said, "Zi Shou, don't call me Su Jijiu, we are about the same age, so you and I are brothers."

"How did this happen!" Xu Yi stared at Su Chen with wide eyes, "Su Jijiu is my father's good brother. If I match up with Su Jijiu's brother, wouldn't my generation be in chaos?"

"It's what we're talking about." Su Chen shook his head.
