During this time, Cao Ang came to Chen's house frequently.
After Chen Zhou came back, he rushed over immediately and talked about the recent situation.
Chen Zhou was not interested in knowing about business and other matters, but Cao Ang gave more details about Zhuge Liang than what was written in the letter. The letter only stated that Zhuge Liang was rescued by Zhang Fei, and Cao Ang told the whole process.
"You really looked at Liu Bei before you found Zhuge Liang."
Chen Zhou heard this and said: "Zhuge Liang's ability is indeed not bad."
Cao Ang asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, sir?"
Chen Zhou analyzed and said: "Caogu and the others analyzed that Zhuge Liang was hiding in Linju County based on Liu Bei. When they arrived at Linju County, Zhuge Liang was about to escape, which shows that Zhuge Liang analyzed the danger based on the news that Liu Bei was coming. On the way, we suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Xinye. Probably because we kept looking at Wollongong and anticipated the danger, we went directly to Liu Bei."
Because of Chen Zhou's intervention, Liu Bei's invitation to Zhuge Liang happened early.
Zhuge Liang did not wait for his three visits to the thatched cottage, but only waited for Zhang Fei who came to save him. Liu Bei did not need to take three visits to the thatched cottage, he could directly take the people back, and began to get Jingzhou as quickly as possible, bypassing Liu Qi. These were all changes.
Cao Ang agreed: "Everything you said is right."
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a counselor named Xu Shu beside Liu Bei?"
Even before Xu Shu left Liu Bei, he brought Zhuge Liang forward. The progress was accelerated a lot, and history was changed a lot.
But Chen Zhou will no longer struggle with how to change it. After all, everything that didn't happen has happened, and it can't be reversed. He can't go back and correct it. If he had the ability to time travel again, he would have passed it back long ago.
"According to Cao Gu's information, this person does exist."
Cao Ang nodded.
After Xu Shu joined Liu Bei's camp, he did a lot of things in Xinye. There were many people who knew about him, so it was not difficult to find out.
Chen Zhou said: "This Xu Shu is also from Yingchuan. His real name is Xu Fu. He was born in poverty. He changed his name to Xu Shu after avenging others in his early years and was rescued. He then fled to Jingzhou for refuge. I also know that Xu Shu is very filial and has an old mother who stayed in Yingchuan. "
After thinking about Xu Shu's incident, it was not difficult for Chen Zhou to deal with him.
"How can sir know so much?"
Cao Ang asked in surprise.
Chen Zhou said: "How do I know? It's not important! What's important is that Xu Shu was a filial son. He killed someone and took refuge in Jingzhou, but he couldn't take his mother away and stayed in Yingchuan. Just imagine, a filial son knew that he What would you think if your old mother was in the hands of the enemy?"
For Xu Shu, her mother was in danger and she had to rush back even if she risked her life.
Since Xu Shu showed up early, Chen Zhou could also let him leave Liu Bei early.
Moreover, Xu Shu must have come into contact with a lot of secrets and information about Liu Bei.
As long as you use some tricks, it's still easy to get Xu Shu's information.
"I understand!"
Cao Ang's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what to do next.
Yingchuan is so big, it is not difficult to find Xu Shu's old mother. A plan appeared directly in his mind.
"Also, is there any result about Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan?"
Chen Zhou asked again.
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, Chen Zhou did not allow the two of them, so they all went to Liu Bei's military camp.
Even if Pang Tong and Xu Shu come to Cao Cao's camp, they will not be used by Cao Cao, but it is enough to lock them up. Although the means are shameless, it is normal to use some dishonest means on the way to fight for the world.
"None yet!"
Cao Ang shook his head and said: "I asked Cao Gu to send someone to check. The weather is now very cold and the time is short. Many messages will be delayed and cannot be sent back so quickly."
In this case, Chen Zhou doesn't ask for too much for the time being.
As long as there's still time, then it's okay.
If Zhuge Liang can't get it, Pang Tong should still be able to.
"Get Xu Shu back first."
Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "He must know a lot about Liu Bei and can use it."
Cao Ang solemnly said: "I understand."
"In addition, Cao Gu can be used."
"I always use him very much. He is the best at getting information."
"That's fine, I have nothing else to do."
Chen Zhou nodded.
Cao Ang must know better than anyone how to use Cao Gu.
Cao Ang chatted with Chen Zhou about other things, then went back to arrange people to find Xu Shu's mother first, and then get Xu Shu. Without Xu Shu's support, only Zhuge Liang was left, so the threat posed by Liu Bei would be much smaller.
After sending Cao Ang away, Chen Zhou thought about the recent events. It seemed that he had nothing to do. He happened to be at home with his wife and children, and discussed with Cao Shan and the others about getting married to Zhen Mi.
Cao Cao returned in triumph, destroyed the Yuan family, captured the four northern states, and tortured Wuhuan.
This incident had long spread throughout the world, once again shocking other princes.
Now the largest prince in the world has become Cao Cao, completely replacing the Yuan family, and warlords have replaced the clans. Under Cao Cao's strong suppression, the northern Han Dynasty, as well as the Central Plains areas such as Yingchuan, are still very peaceful. There is a way to recover from the troubled times. to normal conditions.
When the ice and snow melt, everything will be fine.
After Cao Cao returned, he began to further monopolize power and personally directed the government affairs of all states. Those memorials were no longer sent to the palace, but to Cao Cao.
The entire Han Dynasty was centered on Cao Cao.
But today, Cao Cao got a surprising news.
"Cai Mao came to surrender?"
Cao Cao was surprised and said quickly: "Zixiu, go and welcome Cai Mao into the city."
With his current status, it would be a bit pricey to meet Cai Mao, but not sending a person with status and status out to greet him would seem insincere.
You must know that Cai Hao has been in Jingzhou for so long, and he must have mastered a lot of information about Jingzhou. Cao Cao wanted to get it, and when he heard Cai Hao's arrival, it was this information that came to his mind.
Cao Ang took his father's order and went outside.
The wind and snow at this time had stopped a long time ago. The temperature was not as cold as it was at the beginning, but it was still very cold. The snow outside had not yet melted. When I left the city and looked outside, I could see a blanket of white everywhere. Among the white, you could see Several figures walked slowly, leaving long footprints on the deep snow.
"Master, here we come!"
A guard following Cao Ang said.
Cao Ang had already seen the people coming. At this time, he looked into the distance and saw them gradually approaching, and soon they were in front of him.
"stop!"
A guard immediately came forward and said.
Cai Mao came to surrender, but before he arrived at Xudu, he sent a letter to Xudu in advance. He first told Cao Cao that he was coming, and only after receiving a confirmed reply did he dare to continue walking to Xudu.
At this time, Cai Mao came to Cao Ang, looked at Cao Ang for a while, and asked: "Is this the eldest son of Prime Minister Cao?"
"Yes, Mr. Cai, please come with me. My father has been waiting for a long time."
Cao Ang said politely.
"Master, please lead the way."
Cai Mao exhaled. In the cold winter, it turned into a layer of white mist. He could finally enter the city. The difficult days in the ice and snow were finally over.
