During the reign of Emperor Huan and Ling, relatives and eunuchs alternately abducted power.

The two party-country disasters made the Eastern Han politics even more dark and corrupt, and the court was full of dangers.

At this time, a mysterious swordsman after Anute appeared among the people, who killed hundreds of corrupt officials one after another. Once, he even went into the room of the Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang, and then danced his sword in the courtyard and went out across the wall.

"That mysterious swordsman is my father-in-law when I was young, right?" Zhou Yang had read this passage in "The Three Kingdoms", and it was written very clearly, saying that Cao Cao was extremely talented and powerful, and nothing could harm him.

"It's a pity that the assassination of Zhang Rang ended in failure." Cao Cao sighed, "That was something that happened more than 30 years ago, and it is still vivid in my mind, just like yesterday."

"Why are you so worried about this?" Zhou Yang asked.

"That night I sneaked into the Zhang Mansion just to rescue a Qin Hu woman." Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a trace of tenderness and said lightly, "I was rescued later, but she was still alive. I only regretted that I was young and energetic back then, and that Qin Hu woman was also very stubborn. Otherwise, if she went back to admit her mistake with Zhang Rang, maybe she wouldn't die."

Zhou Yang thought that Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng at that time was also a eunuch with Zhang Rang and others.

So at most, these are just personality conflicts and there is no deep hatred.

However, when Cao Cao was young, he was a willful and heroic and unruly guy. Since he dared to enter the Zhang Mansion at night and snatch out his own woman, how could he go back obediently?

Even if he is asked to make another choice, he will probably not change his original decision.

Cao Cao turned his face and smiled and said, "Although the Qin Hu woman died at my hands, she left a baby girl."

Zhou Yang suddenly said, "This baby girl is Lin'er, right?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "So what I love the most is Lin'er, but the thing I dare not know about the least is Lin'er. Fortunately, you have helped me take care of Lin'er, so I have forgotten my worries."

No wonder when Zhou Yang first met Cao Lin, he always felt that she looked like a mixed-race beauty, and she was even more out of place with the women of the Central Plains. It turned out that she was the illegitimate daughter of Cao Cao and Qin Hu women.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he was recalling the romantic past with the Qin Hu woman, but it seemed that he was just too tired.

After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Who do you think is the most like me among my sons?"

Zhou Yang thought about it but didn't think so, and replied: "Of course, Zihuan looks the most like."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "If you say so, it seems that you should consider successors."

Zhou Yang said: "My father-in-law is still very healthy, why do you say such words?"

Cao Cao said, "No one can know what will happen tomorrow. Many things are clearly in their hands, but the result is always unexpected. The successor is a major event, which is related to the stability of the entire family and even the entire country. Only by determining the heir can everyone feel at ease."

Zhou Yang also had a deep feeling. Just like the Battle of Red Cliff, he could clearly predict the result of burning a series of ships, but he still suffered a defeat in the war. He couldn't help but sigh: "There are unexpected changes in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune every day, but his father-in-law is more thoughtful."

Cao Cao opened his eyes and smiled, "No wonder so many women like you, they always speak so witty."

Zhou Yang thought to himself, it seems that this is another idiom after the Han Dynasty.

The next day, Cao Cao returned to Xudu with his army, but even Cao Lin did not go to see him.

Now is the time of internal instability, and what we need most is the support of the family and the gentry.

If at this time, people find that Cao Cao actually had a illegitimate daughter of Qin Hu, and those detailed works that other forces sneaked in would take the opportunity to spread them.

The gentry who had long been resentful to Cao Cao, the new ruler, would take this opportunity to cause chaos.

However, there is one thing that is to be thankful for, that is, Cao Cao had obviously a clear understanding of his successor, and the answer to the final question was Cao Pi. If there were no other accidents, Cao Pi should have naturally inherited Cao Cao's position and become the founding emperor of Wei.

Zhou Yang would also place his dreams that should have been fulfilled in Cao Cao on his son and do his best to help Cao Pi unify the world.

Now Cao Cao led his troops to the west, defeated the Guanzhong army led by Ma Chao, and built the foundation of the entire Wei Kingdom after two years.

In the 18th year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of Han enthroned him as Duke of Wei, and used ten counties including Jizhou and Bingzhou as fiefs of Wei State. He established the Wei Palace Tongquetai in Yecheng, enjoyed the system of the emperor and obtained the supreme power of "worshiping without name, swords and shoes to the hall".

In the same year, Liu Bei used the excuse of Liu Zhang's Baishui Army as an rude commander Yang Huai, and then personally fought against Western Shu.

Liu Zhang sent Liu Xi, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian and other famous Bashu generals to Yufu to defend, but were all defeated and surrendered to Jinzhu. Jinzhu Li Yan was bribed by Liu Bei again and led the crowd to surrender.

Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals went back to Dingbai Emperor, Jiangzhou, and Jiangyang, and Guan Yu stayed to control Jingzhou.

Liu Bei marched again to siege Luo, and Liu Xun and his generals guarded the city for a year.

It was not until the summer of the 19th year of Jian'an that Luocheng was finally captured.

Tens of days later, Liu Zhang from Chengdu surrendered, and the three-legged sect in the world were formed.

At the same time, before Cao Cao of Xudu sent people to convey the leadership of Luoyang, he ordered Zhou Yang, the leader of the Yongzhou Army, to quickly attack Hanzhong before Liu Bei's western Shu stabilized, and sent a Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu, Zhang He and others to lead 50,000 troops to be fully dispatched.

Hanzhong is not only the throat of Western Shu, but also an important stronghold for the Shu army to head north.

So Zhou Yang immediately reorganized his army to Meixian, preparing to use this as the starting point for the attack on Hanzhong.

This was also the first time that Cao Cao asked Zhou Yang to lead an army of about 100,000 as the head coach. If he could not take down a small Hanzhong, Zhou Yang would have no face to return to Luoyang.

"The emperor brought a verbal comment and asked the Zhouxiang Hou to receive the order alone." After reading the edict, the official said, "Then the official will surrender first."

After Zhou Yang personally saw him at the door, he saw another official responsible for conveying oral metaphors, who had been at the door for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor had such power. Didn’t the edicts he issued all mean by Cao Cao? Where did he get the words? Zhou Yang couldn’t help but start muttering in his heart.

I saw the official in front of me who looked petite and thin. Although he wore a long crown on his head, he looked very familiar.

Seeing his chest protruding, Zhou Yang suddenly realized, "So it's you?"

The official said: "Don't you invite someone in?"

It turned out that the person in front of him was Zhang Chunhua who was by the little emperor. Although he is mature and plump and charming, he is still a short and pitiful little beauty.

The childishness on her face was not only not washed away by time, because over the past decade, she has only been playing alone with the little emperor, which has made her even more unfamiliar with the world.

If this is the case, there is only one possibility, that is, the little emperor has never let go of Xiaoyao, and even Zhang Chunhua cannot replace it.

When Zhou Yang thought of this, his heart ached slightly and asked, "Please read the oral metaphor that Your Majesty has passed on!"

Zhang Chunhua pulled up the Yitian sword he gave him and said, "Kill you."

Zhou Yang said in surprise: "No! What a joke?"

Zhang Chunhua's pair of glittering and charming eyes did not look like a joke, and said seriously: "If you don't take someone with you, you will kill you. This is the emperor's oral metaphor."

Zhou Yang suddenly realized that this little girl movie probably didn't bring any verbal comments at all, otherwise how could Cao Cao not know?

Emperor Xian of Han has always been a political bargaining chip in Cao Cao's hands, and his every move is under Cao Cao's control.

Although life is pretty good, there is no free power, nor any political claim.

The so-called edicts are all Cao Cao's wishes, and it is even more impossible to have any oral metaphors.

The question is that Zhang Chunhua has been with the young emperor for more than ten years, but why did he finally come to Zhou Yang in the name of the emperor?

"Because you have promised the emperor brother." Zhang Chunhua pouted.

"Brother Emperor? You can actually call him brother?" Zhou Yang said in surprise.

At the same time, I remembered that the little emperor once told him that his childhood sweethearts and Xiaoyao were also called brothers and sisters.

It seems that Zhang Chunhua should get along well with him, at least the little emperor doesn’t have to be bored all day.

But now this little girl ran out of the movie and wanted to follow him with a sword.

Zhou Yang laughed and said, "I'm going to fight, not to play, nor to find your brother Zhongda. You should go back to Xudu's elder brother with you! At least you can rest assured and live a comfortable life, not boring. You can just talk about toys such as cats, dogs, bears, etc."

When Zhang Chunhua heard him say such a lot of words in one breath, he interrupted unhappily: "Don't care! Anyway, you promised the emperor and the other person's affairs, so you must do it. If you can't do it, you will kill you, or you will stare at you all your life."

Zhou Yangsai said: "No! What have I promised Your Majesty?"

Zhang Chunhua raised his eyebrows and said, "You promised to help him find Xiaoyao's sister, and you also promised to help others find Brother Zhongda, but in the end, no one was found. What do you say?"

Zhou Yang shrugged and said, "I don't know where they have gone. I have been sending people to investigate everywhere, but there is still no news. What can I do?"

Having said that, he was guilty after all.

With Zhang Chunhua's scheming transparent eyes, he stared at Zhou Yangxu's sarcastic gaze.

The more Zhou Yang was seen, the more he felt more and more distressed. As if Sima Yi, who was hiding in Muye, was discovered, he quickly gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I will take you, but you must listen to me, don't ruin big things."

Zhang Chunhua said disdainfully: "Isn't it just attacking a small Hanzhong? There's such a big deal."

Zhou Yang smiled dryly and said, "It's not that easy. Do you think that fighting is just a casual command of the soldiers, and then sitting in the tent waiting for the news of victory, is it enough?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "Anyway, they don't know anything about war or politics. If Brother Zhongda is here, these are simply easy things for him. Think about it carefully! They will go to rest first, and you must call me before the march!"
