Chapter 422: The Huns are crushing the border
"The Huns' national sect said in the letter that he hopes we can temporarily stop Cao Ang from going north because he has other preparations."
After reading the letter simply, Cao Pi said, "Also, he also asked us to hand over Chen Yang's life to him."
Yang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Can you say that Master Xubu and Chen Yang also have old grudges?"
Cao Pi shook his head and said, "Whether there are old grievances is not within our consideration. In order to seize power, Chen Yang must die. It doesn't matter who killed him, or it may make Cao Ang lose his trust in him. I will discuss it later if he is given to him or not."
They didn't seem to know that the Huns' national savage Subuda was actually Sima Yi.
"That's right, when Xiaoqiu's plan is successful, Chen Yang will have nothing." Yang Xiu said.
They think that Chen Yang's only reliance at present is Cao Ang.
Xiaoqiu left Cao's mansion, and she went directly to find Guo Huan.
With Cao Pi's reminder, Guo Huan also knew about Xiaoqiu's existence.
When Guo Huan learned about their plan, she was frightened. She could not have imagined that Cao Pi would be so cruel.
Even she could... even abandon her.
In addition, the person Cao Pi wanted to plot was not only Cao Ang, but also Chen Yang.
If things fail and there are any accidents, Guo Huan knows that they will definitely die.
If he did not follow Cao Pi's instructions, Guo Huan thought that she might not be able to survive or even die faster.
Thinking of the end, she could only follow Cao Pi's plan, sacrifice herself, and then take Xiaoqiu to meet Xiahou Lian.
People in the Cao family circle basically know Xiaoqiu's existence and avoid being able to see through his identity. Xiaoqiu also disguised himself as a cousin in Guo Huan's family and became best friends and sisters with the Xiahou family.
A few days later, Xiaoqiu found an opportunity to implement her plan.
"Liang'er, look into my eyes, look at... listen to my orders..."
Xiaoqiu slowly hypnotized Xiahou Lian and said, "You have to listen to me. From now on, you will do whatever I ask you to do. You can't refuse, do you know?"
"Yes!" Xiahou Lian nodded gently to respond.
It didn't take Xiahou Lian's hypnosis for a long time.
"Is this really OK?" Guo Huan asked in surprise.
"It's OK, but it can't last too long. You have to make arrangements as soon as possible. If there is an accident, the consequences will be very serious." Xiaoqiu reminded.
"I see."
Guo Huan was curious about the way she controlled people, but she didn't dare to ask Xiaoqiu casually.
——
Time passed quickly, and Chen Yang finally returned to Xudu.
The battle between the north and Guanzhong was in a stalemate. With the convenience of artillery, they could suppress it for a while.
When returning to Xudu, Chen Yang will not go home for now.
He and Cao Ang immediately came to discuss with Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others.
"In fact, with our artillery, as long as there is sufficient firearm support, the Huns and others will not be afraid for the time being."
Guo Jia is full of confidence in artillery and firearms.
"Before you lord, you came back, we had already sent some artillery to Xiahou Miaocai. The attack effect was very good, which was a little advantage." Xun Yu also said.
They stayed in Xudu to deal with government affairs, and knew more about the matters in the north than Cao Ang.
"The only trouble we should be Ma Teng and Han Sui, because the Huns went south and just plundered them, and then ran back."
Chen Yang said: "Ma Teng has hit Tianshui and other places, not far from Chang'an. As long as they break through Chang'an, they can successfully shoot out Guanzhong, like a needle that directly stabs our key points and gets stuck in the key points."
Because of the terrain of the Guanzhong Basin, as long as Chang'an is taken down, the road from the eastward will be almost no obstacles, and the road is flat, so it can reach Luoyang, Xudu and other places.
In contrast, Ma Teng is more threatening.
The Huns and others heading south also had the barrier of the Yellow River.
The Huns were even less good at water combat, so they would not cross the river at will. If they really lost, they would retreat to the south bank of the Yellow River and could confront them.
"Lord, I am willing to go to Guanzhong and defend Chang'an." Guo Jia said.
Chen Yang was about to refuse because of Guo Jia's death and because of the Huns.
The Battle of Guandu was changed by Chen Yang and the ending was different.
Boss Cao didn't need to chase and kill the three Yuan brothers until the Huns, and Guo Jia didn't need to die.
But he thought again, Chang'an was not a place for the Huns.
Even if Guo Jia went on the battle in person, there was no such thing as not being able to adapt to the local environment, so he put down this idea.
"It is best if you can go to Chang'an for filial piety. However, if you have to stay in Xudu, I will go north to supervise the battle myself. At that time, Xudu's stability will be maintained by you and Boning." Cao Ang said solemnly.
"yes!"
Xun Yu and Man Chong said at the same time.
"Zi'an, where are you?" Cao Ang asked again.
"Of course I will go north with you to supervise the war, but..."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "The Huns attacked us at this time, and even joined forces with Gongsun Kang and others. I always feel that something is wrong."
Because this is not the style of the Huns, even if they want to attack, they will not do this.
Could it be that someone is pushing it behind the scenes?
He didn't want to go in Sima Yi's direction, but all kinds of mixed thoughts emerged in his heart.
"Zi'an, you're right, I think it's a bit strange," Xun Yu said.
If they want to tell what's strange, they can't tell it.
"What I'm worried about is that there will be any conspiracy behind it." Guo Jia nodded.
When Cao Ang heard their conversation, he didn't know how nervous.
The Huns' trouble was the biggest challenge that Cao Ang encountered after taking over Cao Cao's position, which was even bigger than the Battle of Chibi, and there were too many uncertain factors.
After determining the strategy, their discussion will be over.
Cao Ang felt physically and mentally exhausted, and once again felt that being the master was too tired.
He returned to the small yard where he lived and unexpectedly saw Xiahou Lian and Princess Wannian were there, and their relationship seemed to be very good.
"Are you back?" Xiahou Lian said first.
Princess Wannian blushed and nodded.
"I have one thing I want to tell you."
Xiahou Lian lowered his head and said, "I recently met my second son's fiancée, Sister Guo Huan, and I have a good relationship. She said she had conflicts with General Chen and wanted me to help her arrange it. We are a family and I hope we can resolve it and not become enemies."
When he saw them, Cao Ang slowly relaxed his frown and said, "I have heard of this. It seems to be a trouble caused by Guo Biao, but it is of course the best way to resolve the misunderstandings. I support you."
"Very good!"
Xiahou Lian said happily: "But I don't need you to help. I can only be with my sister Guo Huan. You just came back, so please accompany the princess sister."
"Thank you for your hard work, my husband!" Princess Wannian blushed and nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Cao Ang did not refuse and said, "Zi'an has a very good personality. As long as you speak well, it will definitely not be a problem."
"If you say that, I'm relieved. I'm going to find Sister Guo Huan and ignore you."
