Chapter 68
Xu Du's affairs have become a foregone conclusion, and there will be no major changes in Chen Yang's control.
However, when he saw Xiahou Wei and Sima Yi again yesterday, Chen Yang changed his initial layout and left Xu Du's crisis on the night he got married.
Chen Yang is still sure that Sima Yi will make some moves on the night he gets married, and even Xu Du's crisis will break out at that time.
"Zhang Xiu is really not scary. Lao Cao, please leave with confidence. However, I need to leave 30,000 people inside and outside Xudu to arrange them for me, so that they can hide for the time being and cannot show up. I will use these people to help you seize power." Chen Yang said confidently again.
Before Cao Cao could speak, Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, said first: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you really have confidence?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course, this time I can make Zhang Xiu come and go."
"good!"
Cao Cao nodded and agreed, "I will leave Dian Wei for you. I must guard Xu Du. If I really can't defend it, you will take Zixiu and others to abandon the city and escape. Although Xu Du is important, your lives are more important, do you know?"
Later generations said that Cao Cao likes suspicion and would rather let the world down and be cold, but at this moment, Chen Yang saw a different Cao Cao, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. He would not have thought that he would say this.
"Old Cao, just by your words, I will help you take this world."
Chen Yang could see that Cao Cao's words just now came from the heart and there was no so-called falsehood.
This old Cao is worthy of friendship and assistance.
Cao Cao smiled happily and said, "Okay, with your promise from Manager Chen, the world is already in my pocket."
Chen Yang bowed and said, "Old Cao, I will return successfully this time. I will be as solid as a god. There is no need to worry."
According to the historical development trajectory, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated this time, and Chen Yang doesn't care much about the conquest of Yuan Shu. As long as Cao Cao does what he said at the beginning, he can not only defeat Yuan Shu, but also intensify the conflict between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"The whole army, set off!"
With Cao Cao's order, the army began to move and left the barracks in a mighty manner.
"Shopkeeper Chen, Xu Du's affairs depend on you. I have told Wen Ruo to obey your arrangements. There is another thing. I replaced a group of secret guards who were arranged by you last night. It was Xiahou Yuan who asked the strongest secret guards to train under his command, and their strength was stronger than the last group."
Before leaving, Cao Cao bowed and said, "With them here, you and Zixiu are safe. If Xu really can't keep it, they will try their best to protect you from leaving."
Guo Jia echoed: "The secret guards of the Xiahou family have protected the Prime Minister many times to turn danger into safety. If necessary, you can command them with confidence."
Even though he had strengthened the security power around him, Chen Yang said with some gratitude: "Thank you!"
After saying goodbye to Cao Cao to the battlefield, Chen Yang felt a little emotional. His relationship with Boss Cao was so good, and Boss Cao was not as suspicious as he thought.
Looking back at the Xudu wall not far away, Chen Yang continued to sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that he would have such a brilliant day, and Xudu's safety was in his hands, and even Sima Yi was his number one enemy.
"Sima Yi, Xiahou Wei..."
Chen Yang murmured to himself and sneered: "I seem to understand what Sima Yi wants to do now. What a Xiahou Yan. Unfortunately, I promised Xiahou Dun to let you go again, so it is not easy to kill."
After saying that, Chen Yang waved his hand: "Let's go to the factory."
Inside the factory.
As soon as Chen Yang walked into the gate, he saw Cao Ang learning how to train soldiers here. He followed Ye Shun and practiced with all the soldiers.
"Xiao Cao, why are you here? If Lao Cao goes to war today, you won't go to send me a gift?" Chen Yang just came and pulled Cao Ang out of the soldiers.
Cao Ang spread his hands and said, "I was locked up in public by Lord Man yesterday. How could I appear openly? Besides, my father often goes to war, and I am used to it. It is better to learn more about training troops from you, so that I can help my father to pacify the world in the future."
Having said that, Cao Ang was still a little worried. After all, going to war would kill people, but Chen Yang said that he would win this battle. He believed in Chen Yang and put his worries behind him for the time being.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Old Cao is conquering the world outside, so we will help him to help the world in Xudu."
As he said that, Chen Yang called Ye Shun over and said, "After training today, I will give all the soldiers a day off. If there are relatives, go home to see their relatives. If there are no relatives, stay in the camp for a day or two to relax."
Ye Shun asked in confusion: "Master, why is this?"
Chen Yang said seriously: "Because, we will have a battle to fight soon. This is the time to test your training results. I don't think there is any need to train before the war."
War will inevitably lead to death, and Chen Yang cannot avoid it. The three thousand soldiers here may die. So before it is possible to sacrifice, let them go home to see their relatives first. If there is no relatives, relax and adjust their state.
"Thank you lord!" Ye Shun also understood this and said gratefully.
"Also, don't tell them to fight first, so as to avoid them being confused. Go and make arrangements." Chen Yang waved.
Seeing Ye Shun's figure disappearing in front of him, Cao Ang said: "Others will only step up training before the war, and you will give them a holiday to go home to visit relatives first. This is what makes you look like in the same way as Shopkeeper Chen."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Ordinary soldiers are also human beings. They may be other people's sons or fathers. Once they die, it will be a devastating blow to some families."
"In the era of war, I cannot guarantee that no soldiers will die. I can only try to make them sacrifice less or leave fewer regrets."
Chen Yang put away his smile and sighed long: "The truly disciplined soldiers are worthy of respect, because they are the first ones to die in battle."
Cao Ang sighed: "Love soldiers like children. If you can be a general, this would be a blessing for many soldiers!"
"This may not be!"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "A kind-hearted person does not control the army and does not control the people. My biggest shortcoming is that I am too kind to my own people. Of course, I will still be cruel to the enemy."
After saying that, Chen Yang walked towards the group of craftsmen first.
"Charity is not in charge of the army, benevolence is not in power, good!" Cao Ang thought after hearing this.
"Master!"
As soon as Chen Yang came to the craftsman, a man hurriedly walked over to him.
This person is the leader selected by Chen Yang from the craftsmen, and an old blacksmith, whose name is Ma Chang. At this moment, he said excitedly: "Lord, the steel crossbow you mentioned has been made, and the crossbows have been initially formed. As soon as possible, you can make the first attempt tomorrow."
This is great news. If there are more weapons, the chances of winning against Xu Du's crisis will be greater.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang asked excitedly: "Lao Ma, are you telling it seriously?"
Ma Chang nodded quickly, then he waved his hand back, and immediately a young man in his twenties took out a crossbow and stepped forward to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took it and took a look carefully. From the appearance, he looked similar to what he drew it. He was also very exquisitely made, and it was not exactly the kind of crossbows from the Middle Ages in Europe. Chen Yang added a sight to it based on the characteristics of the crossbow arrows in later generations, and also modified it in other places.
"It's really done!"
