The wheels were swollen and the hooves were very loud. A team quietly passed through the Hengmen and climbed the Wei Bridge again.

Yang Xiu picked up the curtains, looked at the backs of Qin Yi and others on the side of the Che, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "It's really not easy for Mr. Wenhe to work with Lu Bu's old subordinates."

Jia Xu, who was sitting opposite, smiled. "Do you eat well for dinner? If you eat too much, let them slow down so that you won't vomit all over."

Yang Xiu glanced at Jia Xu and laughed. He reached out and pulled the merchant's short clothes on Jia Xu. "Your torn clothes are torn anyway, and it's okay to be dirty. Just change them. My new cloth in Dawu is cheap and good. Others are in short supply. How long do you have to be? "

"Then I'll thank you for the eldest son." Jia Xu smoothed out the short clothes that were wrinkled by Yang Xiu. "But this clothes cannot be thrown away. Although the house in Dongcheng City was dilapidated, it was very comfortable to live and was not noticeable. How about it, are you interested in staying for two days?"

Yang Xiu knew that Jia Xu lived in Dongcheng City, but he didn't know that there was a place for him. The city was mixed with fish and dragons, and it was the favorite hiding place for spies. When he first arrived in Chang'an, he arranged several relay points in the cities. When he was under house arrest by Fa Zheng, Xie Yan retreated to one of them according to the pre-plan. Dongcheng City, Xicheng City was very close to the General's Mansion and not far from Qili, so it was very convenient to convey messages. Both sides chose this place at the same time.

Fa Zheng also knew this, but he screened back and forth in the east and west markets several times, but he could not find Xie Yan. This feeling that he knew that his prey was just under his nose was not found. Fa Zheng almost drove him crazy. He tried Yang Xiu countless times, but Yang Xiu didn't know. He only knew that Jia Xu had contacted Xie Yan and actually took over his job. He didn't know where it was, so Fa Zheng naturally couldn't test anything.

The team left Qili and was divided into several routes and rushed to different city gates. Yang Xiu knew about Jia Xu's relationship with the Liangzhou faction and knew his intention to do so, but he was still a little surprised when he returned to Chang'an.

"Back to Chang'an?"

"Cao Cao will definitely feel guilty when he takes risks in Chang'an and will not stay for a long time. This is a good opportunity for the Changshi to take over Chang'an."

Yang Xiu smiled. "What should I do with the Liu clan's clan?"

"Cao Cao came thousands of miles away and naturally could not return empty-handed. The eldest son of the emperor and the noble man Fu were likely to be brought back to Yizhou by him. If the new emperor ascended the throne in Yizhou, the royal family had neither the will nor the strength, so they could only rely on the Changshi's breath. Even if there were a few people who were overestimating their abilities, it had nothing to do with the overall situation."

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment and laughed helplessly. Jia Xu had already planned everything. Not only did Cao Cao have no other choice, but he had no one. He could only follow Jia Xu's plan. If he left Chang'an, it would be difficult to come back. The King of Wu could only force himself to attack Guanzhong. But if he stayed in Chang'an, he would have to rely on the power of the Liangzhou system. By then, it would not be as simple as reopening the Western Regions commercial road. The people of Liangzhou must have a place in the court of Dawu.

Jia Xu divided his troops into several groups, gathered and dispersed like clouds and smoke, coming without a trace, not only demonstrating to Cao Cao, but also demonstrating to him. Without the secret support of Liangzhou people, Li Su and others could not do it simply based on Qin Yi alone.

"Just Yiwenhe. Where are we going now?"

"General's Mansion."

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Happy! Those who know me are Wenhe."

——

Cao Cao sat on the steps in front of the greenhouse hall of Weiyang Palace, looking at the sky full of stars, and was speechless for a long time. The lights in the hall shone on his face, half bright and half dark.

Chen Gong stood aside with his hands in his arms, silent as jade, but there were some unexplainable worries between his eyebrows. They traveled thousands of miles and trekked. They originally wanted to launch a surprise army to seize Guanzhong and support the new emperor to ascend the throne in order to unite Bingzhou, Guanzhong and Yizhou, and use the terrain to compete with Sun Ce. Unexpectedly, they failed and were taken advantage of this moment of omission to kidnap Yang Xiu and Mrs. Bian and his son.

The loss is not just a hostage. The opponent can seize the opportunity so accurately, which means that they know their own actions, and the opponent easily breaks through Qili's defense, and does not even have a chance to counterattack. He retreats quickly afterwards, leaving no trace behind, indicating that the opponent is in the city.

In this way, the goal is very clear. There are only two types of people who can have such ability in Chang'an City: either the royal family or the Liangzhou people. The northern and southern troops of Chang'an are controlled by them. The Liangzhou people are the most suspected. Jiang Xu, the Jinwu, who is responsible for the security in the city, is from Liangzhou. At least one-third of the 12 city gate lieutenants are from Liangzhou.

The relationship between Sun Ce and Liangzhou people was not bad, and it was not surprising that Liangzhou people chose to support Sun Ce. However, in this way, it was very dangerous for Cao Cao to stay in Guanzhong. He came in a hurry. In order to keep it confidential, he brought limited people. He originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to take advantage of the opportunity. Now that someone has found his whereabouts and is likely to be caught in one go.

Retreat quickly is the only desirable way at the moment. As long as they retreat into Nanshan, they will be safe.

But Cao Cao was unwilling to give up. Without Jiang Ke, Jian Wei ignored the war and rushed to Chang'an from afar. Seeing the opportunity slipped away from his eyes, he lost Mrs. Bian and his two sons, and he lost all the losses. He didn't want to withdraw from Chang'an just like this. He thought hard, hoping to find an opportunity to turn the situation around. Just like an assassin, he fought hard to kill the target when he was most unlikely to succeed.

The footsteps were heard quickly, and Fa Zheng hurried over. "Master, Yang Xiu is back."

Cao Cao stood up all of a sudden. "Where to go back?"

"General's Mansion." Fa Zheng's face was pale and added another sentence. "Just in the north of Weiyang Palace."

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao knew where the General's Mansion was as Fa Zheng mentioned. The residential area opposite the Beique of Weiyang Palace was once the best A-League in Chang'an City and was the first choice for the powerful. General Wei Qing, General Huo Qubing, and later General Huo Guang all lived there for the sake of making it easier to enter the palace. Sun Ce was named General, and the General's Mansion was set up in A-League.

Yang Xiu is back, what does he want to do?

"How many people do he have?"

"Not many, only more than a hundred people. However, this is only what I see now." Fa Zheng swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say anything. Since Yang Xiu dared to go back, he must have some reliance. It is definitely not as simple as more than a hundred people. If he could summon two thousand people and surround the Weiyang Palace, Cao Cao would be in danger. He wanted to penetrate his heart with one sword, but now he has become a turtle in a jar. The maker of his plan is to blame.

Cao Cao looked at Fa Zheng, then looked at Chen Gong, and sighed. "Let's go, the time has been lost, so you can't force it."

Chen Gong and Fa Zheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao then took action. He told Fu Wan that the situation in Chang'an was complicated and it was not suitable to stay for a long time. He asked the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to visit Yizhou. Yizhou has a dangerous and stable mountains and rivers, and it has a million household registration, which is enough to maintain the reign of the Han Dynasty. Fu Shou wanted to cry but did not cry, and wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of Cao Cao's murderous aura and had to swallow it. He didn't even have time to pack up his clothes. He took Cao Cao out of Chang'an City with the eldest son and headed straight to the Nanshan Mountain.

Chang'an City has returned to peace. Many people do not know that on this New Year's Eve full of decay, there was an opportunity to almost change their destiny in Chang'an City.

When Yang Xiu walked into the General's Mansion, who had been away for a year, he heard that Cao Cao had withdrawn from Chang'an and fled into Ziwu Valley and let out a sigh.
