In the past few days, Zhou Yang and Su Chen have not gone anywhere, and have been staying in the inn and observing the situation on the street.

As soon as a war breaks out, the entire city will enter the highest state of security. Cao Cao has been camping for more than half a month and has not launched an attack on Puyang City. He only occasionally sends different generals to the outside of the city to challenge the shore.

Zhou Yang knew that this was the phenomenon that Cao's army had no choice but to attack the city. In order not to keep the army in a static state, he had to do as much as possible. Even if no results were achieved, at least it would not cause morale to drop rapidly.

However, this situation cannot last too long, otherwise, the daily expenses will be very serious, whether in terms of funds, food, or morale, etc.

Cao Cao is currently among the heroes, not as powerful as Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. He cannot continue to consume it with Lu Bu, who has the advantage of defending the city, and he cannot force the city gate to break open by relying on the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities for this siege: either Guo Jia suddenly came up with some clever plan, or it was just a feint.

But no matter what the situation was, it provided Zhou Yang with a better opportunity to steal boxes, so he decisively gave up leaving the city at this time, but Su Chen was preparing to find an opportunity to go to the warehouse again.

At this time, they were waiting for Cao Cao's movement. Once the siege battle began, it was time for them to take action.

Facing opponents like Cao Cao, how dare Lu Bu and Chen Gong underestimate the enemy? They will inevitably mobilize the most elite soldiers in Puyang City to defend. At least Zhou Yang believes that it would be best not to take photos of powerful enemies like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

Another evening is coming, but there is still no movement.

Su Chen finally couldn't help but say, "Do you want me to go to Li Su to explore the wind?"

Zhou Yang also felt that it was necessary, so he nodded slightly, called her again, and said, "You can stay at Li Su's house, which is closest to Lu Bu's mansion. Let's see if Zhang Miao should do it too."

The two acted separately, but when Su Chen left, he felt as if he had lost an arm.

At night, there were no pedestrians, only various armies coming and going, and various generals with different holes were leading various arms to the places where they should go.

The entire Puyang City is full of the atmosphere of a storm coming, but it does not make people feel tense, but it is a little irritable. Just like the upcoming football match, it has been warming up for many days, and the opponent has never kicked off.

Zhou Yang exhaled and simply lay back on the bed. It was useless to be anxious anyway. He was planning to find some food downstairs, but someone knocked on the outside door at this time and sat back quickly, thinking that if Su Chen came back, it would mean that Zhang Miao had already taken action. I don’t know if Diao Chan was killed. If this was the case, it would be really pity for her.

I opened the door with a conflicted mood and saw a familiar face appearing in front of me.

"I knew Brother Zhou would not listen to my advice." The man standing at the door was wearing light armor, the black cloak on his back hanged to the floor, and his eyes drooped on the floor with his eyes hanging down, as if the expected problem finally happened, but he didn't know how to solve it.

The visitor was none other than Chen Gong, who was still sitting in a tavern chatting with him half a month ago, like an old friend.

It is not a good thing to see him at this time. Either Lu Bu's military advisor decided to betray his lord, or he came to arrest Zhou Yang, a spy sent by Cao Cao into the city.

It is obviously impossible for Chen Gong to sell his owners and seek honor, so the latter is extremely likely to exist.

Zhou Yang felt a little nervous and asked in a deep voice: "How did you find this place?"

Chen Gong sneered: "This question is not what Brother Zhou should care about the most now. I think what Brother Zhou needs to ask more is that how many people he brought to him seems to be more practical."

Zhou Yang immediately took his mind and subconsciously held the tiger roaring spear in his hand.

"Don't be nervous." Chen Gong pushed the door straight into the door, just passed by him, walked directly to the window, pushed it gently, and said, "This is not a good place to investigate information. It is not hidden, and can only see parts of Puyang City. As long as you want to find someone, you will know after asking for a little."

"What's the point of doing Chen Gong coming?" After Zhou Yang confirmed that there was no one outside the door, he closed the door and turned around and asked, "Are you here to continue chatting with me?"

Chen Gong laughed a few times and said, "I will still joke when I die. I am worthy of being Brother Zhou who assassinated Dong back then. Regardless of success or failure, I admire Brother Zhou's courage, but I don't admire your criteria for choosing a leader at all."

"What does this mean?" Zhou Yangqi said.

"Since Cao and Chen Liu launched an army, they have controlled the entire Yanzhou. They are full of talents, but they do not ask what the talents are from." Chen Gong said, "Only from these points, we can confirm that Cao Cao is indeed a talented and magnificent figure."

Zhou Yang understood his intention to say these things and asked, "So what?"

Chen Gong said again: "But Cao Cao is not a person worth following Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yang thought to himself whether you want me to surrender to Lu Bu, and couldn't help but smile and said, "How can you see?"

Chen Gong seemed to know that his words were not convincing and continued: "In the past two years since Brother Zhou left Luoyang, if he knew what Cao Cao had done, he would probably have the same idea as me."

Zhou Yang has always been puzzled by Zhang Miao's betrayal of Cao Cao. Now, when Chen Gong said this, it seems that the answer is right in front of him, and he almost blurted out the reason.

But then I thought, now you and me are hostile. Since you, Chen Gong, are not here to capture me as a spy, then you are here to be a lobbyist, how could I easily reveal my doubts?

So he put on a look of never wavering, neither asking nor answering, just waiting for you to say it yourself.

Chen Gong did not take these details in his heart, but only showed his longing in his eyes, and said, "After giving me money and enlightenment, I planned to go to Luoyang to seek an official position, but after thinking about it, why would a stranger come out in broad daylight, and he was so deliberate to me for no reason?"

Zhou Yang was a little uncomfortable when he saw him, but he couldn't say that it was to make you a county magistrate in Zhongmu to have a plot of interpretation. He could only smile bitterly and said, "What does it mean to appear in broad daylight?"

Chen Gongyi smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Zhou didn't emerge, because after thinking about it carefully, wasn't Dong Zhuo going to Beijing at the beginning? Brother Zhou was working under Dong Zhuo's account. If he wanted a half-time position in Luoyang, wouldn't he be summoned by Dong Zhuo to help him in the abuse?"

Zhou Yang also felt that it made some sense and said, "So you didn't stay in Luoyang, right?"

Chen Gong nodded slightly and said, "That's right, but unfortunately the world is so big that there is no place to live in Sishui County, so I have to continue to live in Sishui County for the time being."

Zhou Yang sighed in his heart that no matter which era, it is true that it is hard to move without money. How many Buffetts are there in this world?

"Not long after, I heard the news that Brother Zhou had failed to assassinate Dong." Chen Gong slowly walked towards him, "Then Cao Cao and Chen Liu raised an army, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the Sishui coalition forces were disbanded after being confused, and Brother Zhou became the new prefect of Luoyang."

"Okay, Chen Gongtai!" Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Then why don't you come and help me?"

Chen Gong shook his head gently, sighed, and smiled, "I really wanted to find Brother Zhou at that time, but I knew clearly that Brother Zhou was already Cao Cao's son-in-law, so I endured it and continued to stay in Sishui County."

Zhou Yang was surprised and thought to himself that when Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe, you should not be present. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"

Chen Gong paused for a long time before asking back: "Do you know how the princes who supported Cao Cao, Liu Dai and Bao Xin died?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel shocked. In fact, he had long felt that this was a bit strange. He just had no feelings for these people, and he was not in Yanzhou at the beginning, so he didn't plan to go into it. He just thought he didn't know anything.

But now Chen Gong suddenly mentioned it, and this is the reason why he is unwilling to come and surrender. Is there anything more difficult to accept than Cao Cao's killing of Lu Boshe, and has not been made public in history?

When he thought of this, his heart sank, but his face still pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know."

Chen Gong sneered: "Then do you want to know?"

Zhou Yang asked himself that he didn't really want to know, because this would only deepen his disgust towards Cao Cao.

Everything he did now was to make Cao Cao unify the world as soon as possible. Such contradictions and conflicts were a complex problem that he could not solve, so he silently chose to escape in his subconscious mind.

Chen Gong did not intend to repeat what Cao Cao had done back then, but said lightly: "Brother Zhou just needs to think a little bit, everything is clear. Today I came to you to find you, not to say bad things about Cao Cao to Brother Zhou, because I know that Brother Zhou and Cao Cao are not the same people. It can be seen from Brother Zhou's behavior that did not abandon the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Luoyang."

Zhou Yang retorted: "If Cao Gong changed to that, he would do this."

Chen Gong nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe it will! But that's just in the case of dun light and dun heavy. If one day the people become the sharp blade that threatens Cao Cao, what do you think he will do?"

Zhou Yang replied without thinking: "How can the people threaten Cao Gong? As long as the world is peaceful and the people live a peaceful life, which people will be too stupid to go against the government?"

Chen Gong said: "The problem is that the world is not peaceful yet, isn't it?"

Zhou Yang still said unconvincedly: "I believe that Cao Gong is a person who values ​​the people first. Even if a riot occurs one day, he can calm down with a more gentle method."

Chen Gong slowly put his face over, with a complicated look in his eyes, and said angrily: "Where the Cao army goes, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were killed and poked, causing corpses to spread everywhere, and the Si River does not flow. This is called putting the people first, is this called living a happy life?"

Zhou Yang looked at the other person's eyes in disbelief, and was speechless for a moment.
