"Who is the leader of the city? Why did you come to Xudu? ”

Soon, the generals who defended the city stood on the tower and shouted loudly.

Chen Yang glanced at Cao Ang helplessly, and motioned for him to respond, only Cao Ang's identity was qualified to respond to their words.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm on your thief ship." Cao Ang shook his head with a smile.

Chen Yang also laughed and said, "Xiao Cao, you only want to get off the boat now, it's too late." ”

Cao Ang smiled even more helplessly, so he stepped forward and shouted loudly: "General Li Dian, it's me, Cao Ang!" ”

The person who defended the city, named Li Dian, the word Mancheng, was also a brave general under Cao Cao.

Li Dian heard Cao Ang's words, and after repeatedly confirming that the people who came were Cao Ang and Chen Yang, he asked puzzledly: "Eldest prince, why are you doing this?" ”

Cao Ang said: "General Li, let us enter the city first, and soon there will be an order from my father, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Li Dian on the city tower shook his head and said: "Eldest prince, this matter is serious, forgive me, please go back, don't embarrass me." ”

Then he ordered all the soldiers not to open the gates of the city without the order of the prime minister.

Li Dian didn't dare to mess around, and after coming down from the city tower, he went to inform Cao Cao as soon as possible.

Cao Ang returned to Chen Yang and spread his hands, saying that he could not do anything, and he hoped that Chen Yang would retreat.

"It's okay, we can get into the city, keep waiting." Chen Yang didn't care.

Cao Ang asked, "Why are you so sure you can enter the city?" ”

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Because you have already sent someone back to tell Lao Cao about me, even if you didn't do this, Li Dian will find someone to inform Lao Cao at this time, so we will definitely be able to enter Xu Ducheng." ”

Seeing Chen Yang so confident, Cao Ang couldn't help but ask again: "Why do you think your father would agree to such a bold act of yours?" ”

"It's because I'm bold enough that he agrees."

Chen Yang analyzed: "Cheng has long been dissatisfied with those families, especially the families in our Xu Capital City, but he can't do anything with his identity, and my appearance is just right." ”

Cao Ang thought for a moment, but still asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Chen Yang continued to explain: "Because we have enough reasons to trouble the family, Dong Cheng and others deliberately withheld our wine money, and the family is on the side of the loss, plus with the help of the prime minister, we can use this incident to beat those who are not long-sighted, so that they can keep to themselves." ”

"Of course, after today, it may be just ordinary families who will be soft on the prime minister, and old fritters like Dong Cheng and Sima Fang will hate the prime minister even more."

Cao Ang seemed to understand a little when he heard this, and soon he asked again: "If we do this, we are pushing Dong Cheng and them too hard, will it backfire?" ”

"That's the best, that's what I'm waiting for."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "If they dare to rebel, the prime minister will have a reason to completely erase those people." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yang remembered that the edict incident during the Three Kingdoms period was made by Dong Cheng and others.

"No wonder my father wants me to learn from you, ordinary people do things, maybe they do one or two steps at a time, at most they expect the next ten steps, but Shopkeeper Chen is different, you have already begun to calculate those families since you started selling wine, right?"

Cao Ang admired Chen Yang more and more, and said: "You took the first step, and you may have calculated how to take dozens or even hundreds of steps behind. ”

With such a calculation, among all the people Cao Ang knew, I am afraid that Guo Jia would not be able to do it.

Being able to learn from Chen Yang's side, Cao Ang feels that it is his honor.

"Father is right, shopkeeper Chen, you are an all-round wizard." Cao Ang said again.

"Low-key, must be low-key."

The reason why Chen Yang calculated so well was because he knew the subsequent development of history.

"By the way, has the palace account been recovered? I haven't been inside the palace yet, so I'm kind of eager to see what is going on. Chen Yang suddenly smiled excitedly.

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth twitched again, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "The Son of Heaven doesn't dare not give money, the only account we can recover is the Son of Heaven, and the other families are all bewitched by Dong Cheng and others, so they don't give money together." ”

Chen Yang said regretfully: "That's a pity, but they will regret it soon." ”

At this time, Li Dian, who had just left, appeared on the city tower again.

"Open the city gate and let the eldest prince in!" Li Dian ordered.

The city gates were finally opened, and Cao Ang waved his hand and asked Chen Yang to lead three thousand soldiers into the city.

"The eldest prince, the prime minister still has something to tell you, this time you can lead troops to collect debts, but you must not hurt those people of the bloodline." Li Dian admonished.

"That is to say, ordinary family care homes, we can fight casually?" Chen Yang was still thinking about the people they sent to collect money and were beaten, and this revenge had to be avenged.

I just looked at Li Dian and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe, you are the same Chen Yang?" I hope you can be sensible and don't cause trouble for the prime minister. ”

Chen Yang could see that he was unhappy with him, but he didn't bother to bother with him, so he just smiled and said: "As long as those people are willing to be sensible, of course I will be sensible, let's go, go to Sima's house first." ”

Cao Ang reluctantly arched his hand towards Li Dian and followed Chen Yang into the city.

"Madman, this man is a daring madman."

Li Dian shook his head: "I don't know if the prime minister promised him to come, whether it was good or bad." ”

After a pause, he said: "The whole army obeys the order, blocks all the city gates, sends the order to the lord Manzhong, and keeps an eye on the every move of those families, and those who dare to rebel will be killed!" ”

Of course, this is also Cao Cao's order, worried that those families will rebel against Xu Du.

After all, Uncle Guo and others have a relationship with the Son of Heaven, and in the imperial city of the Son of Heaven, there is an army of 10,000 people that is not controlled by Cao Cao.

There are also those families who will keep some private soldiers, and it will be a trouble for them to mess around.

I have to guard against it!

Sima's family.

"Ye Shun, knock on the door!" Chen Yang said.

Ye Shun stepped forward first and knocked on the closed door first.

"Who!"

An impatient voice came from inside: "Don't knock! ”

However, as soon as the door opened, the housekeeper did not have time to see who was knocking on the door, when suddenly a cold knife was placed on his neck.

"You ...... Who are you? His legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with fear.

Chen Yang stepped forward slowly and said, "Let Master Sima come out, just say that the prime minister's eldest son is here." ”

Ye Shun's knife was withdrawn, and the family nodded hurriedly, and then rushed into the mansion, and shouted, "Oh no......"

"Take two hundred people with me, and the rest of the people will surround the entire mansion!" Chen Yang waved his hand and strode into the gate of Sima's house.

At this point, Cao Ang also knew that it was irreparable, so he had to follow behind Chen Yang and said loudly: "Lord Sima, Cao Ang is visiting, please come out and see him." ”

"Eldest son, what are you doing here?"

Sima Lang walked out of the house in a hurry and said coldly: "My Sima family has never offended the prime minister, why did you send troops to surround us?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Sima Fang's majestic voice also came out of the room, and he could be heard saying: "Boda, don't be rude to the eldest prince, I don't know why the eldest prince came this time?" ”

As he spoke, Sima Fang's gaze swept over Chen Yang.

Sima Yi came out with Sima Fang, his face was gloomy, and his eyes looked at Chen Yang coldly.

Chen Yang glanced at him, but his face was smiling, extremely arrogant, and Sima Yi was depressed in his heart.

However, Cao Ang looked at a man behind Sima Fang a little strangely, and only felt that this person was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, and he couldn't think of who he was for a while.

The man felt Cao Ang's gaze, he bowed his head slightly, and retreated into the room, which made Cao Ang feel even more strange.
