Xudu is located in the heart of the Central Plains.

As early as ancient times, Xu You, the chief of the tribe descended from Emperor Yan, saw this outstanding man and land, so he led people to farm here, so he called Xu Di, which was also the first feudal dynasty, Xia Dynasty, originated here. It was first Xia capital Xiayi, and later named Yangdi.

In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, it was named Xu State, and after King Qin Shi unified the world, he was renamed Xu County.

It was not until Cao Cao moved Emperor Xian of Han to Yuxu that in order to create a great cause, military farming was promoted around here, and military and civilians were ordered to open up land and sow seeds to meet the needs of war.

At the same time, the order was ordered to recruit talents widely, and those who gathered in Cao's account were outstanding strategists and wise men such as Chen Qun, Du Xi, Liu Ye, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Zhang Ji, Liang Xi, etc., making them a political, economic and cultural center.

Now, more than 30 Black Mountain disciples, including Zhou Yang, Zhang Yan, Guo Daxian, Bairao Four Divine Soldiers, have arrived in Xudu before dark.

Nowadays, military and civilians can be seen everywhere in Xudu, and farm trucks carrying various crops are often driven into the city.

Outside the city, there are windings, like small hills, surrounding the inner city.

It seems that in addition to promoting military farming in recent years, Cao Cao has also put a lot of effort into military defense. I don’t know whether the source of this funding was recruited from the building of the imperial palace.

"Premier Zhou..." A scholar with a goat beard at the gate of the city came riding a horse. He looked good in equestrian, but it didn't match his appearance.

But Zhou Yang recognized this boy as Wen Long at a glance. He asked him to go back to Xudu with Xiahou Yuan and study hard with Guo Jia.

Wenlong jumped off the horse hurriedly, pulled the official uniform that was extremely inconvenient to move, and gasped for breath and said, "I'm late, please forgive me."

Zhou Yangsai said: "You are a soldier, but you didn't expect that you will become so well-behaved after you become a civil servant. You don't need to do this in the future. What's happening now? Let me tell you carefully about it one by one."

Wenlong laughed dryly and said, "Don't joke with me, although you are not in Xudu, you must know more than your subordinates."

Zhou Yang patted his shoulder and laughed: "It turns out that he is a strategist. You really hit it. Do you know what you should do?"

Wenlong nodded and said, "In addition to continuing to learn from Mr. Guo Jia, of course we have established good relationships, especially the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, the military generals most trusted by Cao Gong, who have an irreplaceable share in Xudu."

Zhou Yang looked at Zhang Yan and Guo Daxian on the left and right, and asked, "What do you think?"

Guo Daxian immediately spoke, "As long as you find Yang Feng's residence, I and Bai Luo's divine soldiers will go in directly and bring his head to see Zhou Taishou."

Wenlong said anxiously: "No, let alone Yang Feng has many Green Forest masters, even his relationship with Cao Gong is untouchable, let alone the more Zhiyuanduo, so this person must not be provoked now."

Zhang Yan said: "He is right, and he has to wait and see what changes first."

Wenlong paused for a while and said, "Actually, Zhiyuanduo can join forces with Yang Feng, and we can also cooperate with the same person!"

Zhang Yan asked, "If it were Guan Gu and Tao Sheng, there would be no need."

Wen Long said: "Of course not. This person is definitely more useful than Cao Zhen. Moreover, he has three extremely powerful masters under his command, and he has a very good relationship with the current emperor!"

Zhou Yang guessed who it was in his heart and couldn't help but say, "Is what Wenlong said Liu Bei?"

Wenlong raised his big horse and pointed, "The prefect Zhou is really good at predicting things, not inferior to Mr. Guo Jia! Since Yuan Shu's defeat, all heroes have withdrawn their troops, but among them, Kong Rong, Beihai, Liu Bei, and Ma Teng, the loyal and Han people, have all come to Xudu to meet the saint."

It seems that this is indeed a bargaining chip that can be used well, and at the same time, it also knows that this is an important opportunity to kill Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei leaves Xudu, it will be very difficult to catch him in the future.

So no matter what, when dealing with people like Ma Teng, Liu Bei, Zhiyuanduo, and Yang Feng, we also need to find opportunities to eradicate the obstacles to unifying the world in the future.

"It's getting late." Wen Long saw that he was so confused that he reminded him, "Zhou Taishou and others have worked hard all the way, and their subordinates have already prepared a residence for you."

"Then let's go!" Zhou Yang said.

"Let me enter the city secretly first and touch the situation." Zhang Yan said, "After all, the two masters Yu Digen and Li Damu have not yet appeared, and the enemy is secret and we are clear."

"Okay." Zhou Yang nodded.

I originally planned to tell him that Xu Du had already installed Peng Yiyuan's eyeliner.

But in order to keep it secret, I finally swallowed the words back.

If this kind of thing is revealed and Cao Cao discovered it, the trust he had finally established will inevitably disappear in an instant.

Looking at the afterimage of Zhang Yan's sudden news, Zhou Yang said: "Then let's go!"

Wenlong took everyone into the city and arranged Guo Daxian and others near Cao's house. Zhou Yang, as the son-in-law of the Cao family, naturally moved into the Cao's house.

At this time, the Cao family was mostly mediocre, but Zhou Yang remembered that when he first entered the Cao family, the first peer he met was Cao Ang.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, this young man with a bright future is no longer alive, and he feels a little sad.

"My husband and wife." A crisp childish voice came from behind.

It turned out that it was Xiao Cao Hua who had already finished supper, and his biological mother, the Sixth Lady, who was about to take her back to the room.

Zhou Yang quickly turned his eyes away from the young and beautiful Mrs. Six, and changed the subject awkwardly: "This child is so fast! How long hasn't seen him? He has grown taller again."

Mrs. Six smiled and said, "The child grows up every day and changes every month."

Zhou Yang still finds it difficult to accept that a child like Cao Hua is his wife, but instead thinks that he is the daughter born to him and Mrs. Six.

But he immediately swept away these random thoughts, squatted down and looked at the cute little Cao Hua, but his eyes occasionally swept over Mrs. Six's seemingly shrinking flower shoes.

The sixth lady suddenly said, "Prince Zhou should go to see a second lady first! She has always wanted to see you."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but look up and said in surprise: "Second Madam?"

Mrs. Six said, "That's Zixiu's mother!"

Zhou Yang suddenly realized that Bian was Cao Ang's biological mother. After Cao Ang's death, she must be the most painful woman in the entire Cao clan.

He also had some feelings for Cao Ang, and he was the last person he met before he died.

Zhou Yang naturally understood the meaning of Mrs. Six, and he didn't say anything more, so he silently said.

When I came to Mrs. Bian's room, it was almost a huge gap from the yard or various places. It was very quiet. In addition to the home that should be found, there was only a spiritual seat left in the room.

Mrs. Bian stood alone by the window, no matter who came in, she didn't want to pay attention.

Zhou Yang did not dare to break the silence easily, but just quietly stepped forward and put in an incense stick on Cao Ang's spiritual throne.

"Does Zixiu have any last words at his death?" Mrs. Bian's low voice suddenly came.

"Last words?" Zhou Yang only knew that when he held Cao Ang who had his last breath, he was still determined to protect his master.

If you say the last words, it can only be the "protecting lord" like Dian Wei. Can such last words tell the mother who lost her son in front of you?

Or maybe Cao Cao had already made up a more comforting word, but Mrs. Bian didn't believe it, so she asked him Zhou Yang to verify it again.

In fact, no lie with good intentions can make up for the pain of losing her son.

"Don't lie to me, don't lie to me." Mrs. Bian said and turned around.

Zhou Yang suppressed the surprise in his heart and couldn't speak for a moment.

Cao Cao's second wife was obviously very young and looked just a weak woman, but the firm gaze in her eyes made Zhou Yang dare not say a word of nonsense, let alone lying and lying.

Mrs. Bian smiled faintly and said, "No one knows Zixiu better than me. At that time, only Meng De knew what this child would do except me."

Zhou Yang felt a shock all over. It seemed that Cao Cao was indeed a person who could sacrifice his son, just as he said, "I would rather teach me to let the world down than let the world down." This chilling sentence is said.

But then again, Mrs. Bian looked at her in front of her at most in her early thirties, and she was in her prime. She was about ten years older than Cao Ang. She should not be her biological son, so why did she feel like she was betrayed?

And the sixth wife said that Mrs. Bian was looking for him, Zhou Yang, not because she wanted verbal comfort, nor did she really ask about the relevant matters before Cao Ang died, so she didn't know what was going on?

Zhou Yang had many questions in his heart, and he didn't know where to speak.

Mrs. Bian seemed to see the confusion in his eyes and took the initiative to say, "Yes, Zixiu is not my parent-child, but his relationship with me is like a parent-child, but this time I look for you for another thing."

Zhou Yang couldn't help asking, "Madam, please tell me."

Mrs. Bian felt fond of his calmness and smiled and said, "Zi Xiu's death was for Meng De to return to Xudu safely. It is unreasonable to love, but it is reasonable that I make a choice, and I also hope that the person who survives is Meng De."

Zhou Yang nodded and said, "It's rare that my wife knows the righteousness."

Mrs. Bian said again: "The so-called woman does not interfere in politics. If I don't understand the righteousness, how could she forcibly suppress the family and even the entire Xudu when news of Meng De's death came from Wancheng."

Zhou Yang suddenly realized in his heart that the Bian family behind Cao Cao had done such a big thing.

No wonder the news of Cao Cao's death did not shake the root cause, otherwise it would be a different situation now.

"Even if there are more sacrifices and more innocent people, as long as they can win the last minute victory, they will be willing to do so." Mrs. Bian turned her eyes coldly, "Even if all this is wrong, as a woman, I will never interfere at all."

"Madam..." Zhou Yang said excitedly.

It seems that Mrs. Bian is indeed a powerful backing behind Cao Cao. Whether it is influenced by the family or the consistency in thought, it undoubtedly became Cao Cao's strong support.

However, the words in front of him seemed to be about to announce a major event that violated Cao Cao.

And no one can stop him, even if he is crushed to pieces, he will never hesitate at all. How could he not teach Zhou Yang to be moved again?

So Zhou Yang did not dare to disturb him at all, so he could only calm down and make all mental preparations.
