After the seventh day after Chen Yang was injured, he stayed away from the Cao army camp in Xudu.

"Prime Minister, the eldest son has an urgent letter!" Guo Jia hurriedly walked into Cao Cao's main account.

Cao Cao was looking at the map of their march and fighting. Suddenly, he heard Guo Jia's words, raised his head slightly, and took the urgent letter.

There were two urgent letters sent this time, one of which was a portrait of the man, and the other was the content of the letter.

Cao Cao first opened the content of the letter, looked carefully for a while, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Prime Minister, what happened to Xu Du again?" Guo Jia couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Cao Cao's expression.

After reading it briefly, Cao Cao handed the letter to Guo Jia and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that the remnants of the Sima family would be desperate and dared to ambush and assassinate Chen Jiangui outside Xudu City. What a Sima family. I will write down this account first. You must return it a hundred times in the future!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia was shocked, and he quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, although Manager Chen was seriously injured, he had no worries about his life."

Cao Cao slapped the table with a strong palm and said murderously: "If Manager Chen is unlucky, I will lead my troops to slaughter his Sima family!"

Guo Jia continued to read the letter, then he opened the other painting, first exclaimed, "Prime Minister, isn't this person Zhang Fei next to Liu Bei?"

As he said that, Guo Jia raised the portrait, placed it in front of Cao Cao, and pointed to the man above and said.

Cao Cao immediately turned his head and looked at it. His eyes slightly condensed, and then he held the drawing paper in his hand.

"The eldest son also said in the letter that this person in the painting had ambushed and attacked Manager Chen with Sima Yi."

Guo Jia frowned and said, "This world-wide major event is indeed within the control of Manager Chen. The letter states that Manager Chen thinks this person is someone around Liu Bei, so he specially drew a portrait and sent it to verify!"

"Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao grabbed the whole painting angrily and rubbed it into a ball, but said in confusion: "Liu Bei doesn't know Zhanggui Chen, what is he doing?"

After watching Guo Jia think for a moment, an idea surged from his heart and said, "I think Liu Bei did this for Xu Du. Now that the Sima family has defected to Yuan Shao, he has a secret connection with Liu Bei and is going to assassinate Chen Jiangui. Then the three sides of them may be conspiring to Xu Du!"

As soon as these words were finished, Cao Cao's face became a little gloomy again.

Because this conjecture is not impossible, the most important thing is that Liu Xie is in Xudu. As long as the Han Dynasty does not fall for a day, Liu Xie will still be the orthodox Han Dynasty.

The princes in the world all hoped that they would use the emperor to command the princes like Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others.

Cao Cao already agreed with Guo Jia’s conjecture in his heart.

"Sima Yi knew that Manager Chen was very good at calculating, and he knew very well that to get Xu Du, the premise was that Manager Chen had to be killed first. Xu Du's assassination was probably Sima Yi's way of killing people with a knife."

Guo Jia continued to express his guess: "Xu Du's crisis before has fully demonstrated the power of Manager Chen. As long as he is there, Xu Du will definitely be as solid as a god. This is the reason they want to kill Manager Chen."

Cao Cao nodded solemnly and said, "It's reasonable. I can't destroy the Sima family for the time being, but it's not difficult to deal with Liu Bei."

As he said that, his voice became extremely cold, and he said, "Transfer our military orders to suspend the conquest of Yuan Shu. First, follow the strategy mentioned by the shopkeeper Chen to completely intensify the conflict between Lu Bu and Liu Bei. I will kill Liu Bei first and avenge Zhangguan Chen."

Guo Jia frowned and said, "As a relative of the Han Dynasty, everyone in the world knows his kindness and righteousness. If you want to kill him, you will be criticized and will be very unfavorable to us."

Cao Cao said, "So what? Why should I be afraid of the people in the world?"

Guo Jia glanced at the letter and said, "The letter also says, if we can confirm that it is someone around Liu Bei, then keep Liu Bei and the others. Manager Chen wants to come to take revenge in person. Maybe he has a way to kill Liu Bei!"

"Shopkeeper Chen is coming?"

Cao Cao finally showed a smile on his cold face: "Okay, I will provoke the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Bu first, and wait for Manager Chen to kill the three Liu Bei brothers!"

"Send me a message back to Xu Du immediately and tell Store Manager Chen that the man is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!"

——

Chen Yang, who was far away in Xudu, still doesn’t know what decision Cao Cao made.

Before he knew it, he stayed at home for another seven days.

After so long rest, Chen Yang's injuries were almost healed, but he had been assassinated. Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning said that they were unwilling to let Chen Yang go to the salt factory again.

As for Chen Yang's position as the right general, although he had obtained it, he was too lazy to pay attention to the court and no one came to ask him why he didn't go to court.

During this period, cotton seeds had been cultivated and germinated, so Chen Yang ordered Fang Hua to plant them in his back garden.

The salt selling channel was completely mastered by Jia Xu and Ni Heng. It was a little troublesome at the beginning, but under various coercion and inducement, the entire salt selling channel had to admit that Jia Xu and the other two were.

With the large-scale sale of salt, Chen Yang's revenue rose sharply.

In addition, Jia Xu and Ni Heng are already planning the issue of exporting salt to the Southern Xiongnu.

Unfortunately, Ma Jun has not yet made the cement available, so Chen Yang’s idea of ​​the reservoir is temporarily put aside.

"Husband, have you painted it?"

In the back garden of Chen's mansion, Zhang Chunhua sat in front of Chen Yang and said in a sweet voice.

Chen Yang was holding a simple pencil made of charcoal and skillfully drew the portrait of Zhang Chunhua on a drawing paper. Cao Ning was beside him, sweating for Chen Yang.

Since the appearance of sketching, Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning have both fallen in love with painting. Of course, they will not draw by themselves, but will ask Chen Yang to draw.

"It's done!"

Chen Yang put away his brush, looked at Zhang Chunhua who was vividly on the paper, and said with satisfaction.

"Husband, I want to see!"

"If you want to see it, kiss me first, otherwise I won't show it!"

"Bad husband!"

After all, Zhang Chunhua couldn't resist Chen Yang's smile, so he kissed him gently, and then picked up the painting with satisfaction.

Seeing his beautiful wife so cute, Chen Yang felt sweet in his heart.

During these days, he was completely free and got tired of Zhang Chunhua every day, and he talked a lot about various plays. Their relationship went further and even got closer to Cao Ning.

"Shopkeeper Chen!"

Just as the three of them were playing, Cao Ang's voice suddenly rang out of the yard.

Zhang Chunhua and Cao Ning had to retreat to the house, and Chen Yang then let Cao Ang come in.

"Shopkeeper Chen, your portrait has a fruit!"

Cao Ang held a newly sent urgent letter in his hand and said, "You are so amazing. You guessed it again this time. Do you know who the person in the painting is? Zhang Fei, the sworn brother of Liu Bei."

Although Chen Yang was expecting, he suddenly heard the news and was stunned for a moment. He quickly took the urgent letter and read it carefully.

"It's really him!"

After reading the letter, Chen Yang murmured to himself: "I don't know Zhang Fei at all. If he wants to kill me, it must be Liu Bei's instructing him to appear with Sima Yi. If the Sima family defected to Yuan Shao, then they have a cooperative relationship."
