Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

In Xudu city.

On the bustling street, there are people coming and going, and it is very lively.

In an unremarkable tavern on the side of the street, compared with the bustling street, it looks very deserted, not even a single customer.

At this time, by the door of the tavern, a boy of seventeen or eighteen was leaning on the wall, looking around, as if he was eager for passers-by to come in and take a look.

The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, and the night curfew was coming.

"Alas! Another busy day." The boy sighed helplessly.

The boy's name is Chen Yang, and he is not from this era.

Before crossing, Chen Yang was climbing a mountain. It was raining heavily at that time. He stumbled and fell off the cliff. After waking up, he became an ancient man.

Counting today, it has been exactly one month since Chen Yang traveled to this time and space.

A month ago, Chen Yang's father passed away due to illness, leaving him only this tavern that no one patronizes.

After memory fusion, he figured out that this is the second year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, 197 AD, which is the era when the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms took place.

Just the year before, Cao Cao brought the emperor to Xudu and began to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

Xudu has stabilized, but outside of Xudu, there are still various princes and aristocratic families who are fighting to the death in order to grab the territory.

At the same time, the Three Kingdoms was also an era in which heroes emerged in large numbers.

"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero."

Chen Yang suddenly remembered the poem quoted at the beginning of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In today's troubled times, how many heroes are like flying waves, fleeting in a blink of an eye. He, who is familiar with history, sighed.

"Good sentence!"

Just as Chen Yang was sighing, two people suddenly came outside the tavern. The man on the left was a middle-aged man, seven feet long, with thin eyes and long beard, full of the majesty of a superior.

The man on the right was burly and full of murderous aura. He looked like he was from the army, like a general who had killed countless people.

Chen Yang looked at them seriously for a while, and felt that the one on the left should be a certain important person, and the one on the right was his bodyguard.

But what he didn't expect was that the middle-aged man was Cao Cao.

The person following Cao Cao was none other than Dian Wei whom he called "the evil from the past".

Seeing that a guest finally came in, Chen Yang smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "Both of you, do you want to eat and drink? Please come inside!"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang's tavern for a while, nodded and said, "Although this place is simple, it is quieter. What do you think? Before leaving Xudu, it is rare to have a quiet place to drink."

Dian Wei nodded and said, "It's all about Cheng... master's arrangement."

Remembering Cao Cao's order not to reveal their identities outside, Dian Wei quickly changed his words.

The two walked into the tavern, found a corner seat, and sat down cross-legged.

After finally waiting for the guests, Chen Yang warmly entertained them and said with a smile, "Is this your first time here? What do you want to eat?"

Cao Cao said, "Just bring us two jugs of wine and a few dishes of side dishes."

Chen Yang nodded with a smile, hurried to the kitchen to work, and served all the food and wine in a short while.

"You two, please use it slowly!" Chen Yang smiled politely, and was about to step aside.

At this moment, Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang curiously, and he suddenly said: "Just now I heard the shopkeeper utter a sentence, "The Yangtze River is rolling in the east, and the waves are killing heroes. It's very clever."

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled: "I'm just talking nonsense, you take it easy, if you need anything, just come to me!"

Cao Cao glanced at the taciturn Dian Wei, and said, "Master, I don't see any other customers in your tavern. It's boring for the two of us to have a drink, why don't we go together?"

Chen Yang hesitated whether to agree, but there were no other guests in the tavern, so he was in a panic.

Seeing that they didn't look down on his humble status, Chen Yang thought again that it would be nice to meet two big men, so he nodded and said, "I wish for it!"

So, he brought an extra set of bowls and chopsticks and sat aside.

Cao Cao read Chen Yang's words twice, and then praised: "It's such a good sentence, it seems that the shopkeeper has a lot of insights into the heroes of the world, right?"

After sitting down, Chen Yang was not polite to them, and said casually: "Heroes are those who have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambition to swallow the world."

After hearing this sentence, Cao Cao nodded in agreement, but he asked again: "So, among the heroes in the world today, who do you think is the most powerful?"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yang, as if eager to get his answer.

"Nowadays, the most powerful hero in the world is of course Prime Minister Cao Cao!"

As soon as Chen Yang said this, Cao Cao's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the world, he is the most powerful hero.

However, Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao is the recognized leader of the vassals of the eighteen towns, and he is the fourth generation and three princes. Besides, there is Yuan Shu, who has enough troops and food, and the Yuan family has many students. Isn't this not as good as Prime Minister Cao?"

"Yuan Shaoser is courageous, scheming and indecisive. He cherishes his life when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains. Especially Yuan Shu, who is nothing more than a dead bone in a grave. He can't wait to become emperor. Sooner or later, the Yuan family will be defeated by the prime minister. Nothing to be afraid of."

"Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor?"

Those who want to become emperor now are either lunatics or idiots, they are looking for death.

Could Yuan Shu be that stupid?

Probably not!

"Within this year, Yuan Shu will definitely become emperor, I said so!"

Chen Yang said with certainty.

At this moment, Dian Wei couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that you can foresee the future?"

Chen Yang nodded triumphantly and said, "There is nothing important in the world that I don't know about. If I say it will happen, it will happen!"

Hearing Chen Yang's crazy words, Cao Cao was a little surprised, but he didn't continue to entangle with Yuan Shu's affairs. He said: "In addition to the Yuan brothers, there are also Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and others who are heroes in the world. They are all heroes, and they are not as good as the prime minister. ?”

"Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and others are in name only."

"Jiangdong Sun Ce, who is full of vigor, is not as good as the prime minister?"

"Sun Ce borrowed his father's name, how can he compare with the prime minister?"

Cao Cao felt that this person could speak, but he changed the question: "Among all the heroes in the world, who can compare with the prime minister?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao fixed his eyes and looked at Chen Yang expectantly.

"There is indeed one more person!"

"who is it?"

Cao Cao's gaze was like a knife.

"This...why are you asking that!"

Chen Yang shook his head, and said again: "Could it be that you are the prime minister? I don't think you look like this!"

Seeing Chen Yang shaking his head while talking, Cao Cao smiled inwardly, why am I not like Prime Minister Cao?

Cao Cao said: "Although I am not the prime minister, my surname is Cao, and I am a relative of the prime minister's family!"

That's it!

Chen Yang looked suddenly enlightened.

"Is there really anything important in the world that you don't know?"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Yang with interest, and asked, "If that's the case, why is it just a shopkeeper?"

Chen Yang drank a glass of wine leisurely, and said with a smile, "Because being a shopkeeper is carefree, free, and the most important thing is comfort!"

"Since you don't believe me, let me give you an example. If I guess correctly, the Prime Minister will soon attack Zhang Xiu in Wancheng!"

It is obvious that Cao Cao is going to play Zhang Xiu, and many people can deduce it.

Cao Cao was not surprised when he heard this.

"And then?" Cao Cao asked.

Chen Yang said: "During the battle of Wancheng, the prime minister's general Dian Wei must die."

The voice just fell...

boom!

Suddenly, Dian Wei slapped the table hard, he stood up, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he stared at Chen Yang fiercely, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Yang was taken aback by him, and quickly said: "Why are you excited? I'm talking about Dian Wei, not you. If you smash my table, you will have to pay ten times."

Although the alcohol here is not high, Chen Yang's capacity for alcohol is not very good, and he is a little drunk after drinking a few more glasses, and his speech is more casual than before.

"Sit down first and listen to what the shopkeeper has to say." Cao Cao was not angry, but was more curious about Chen Yang, and wanted to know where Chen Yang's confidence came from.

Dian Wei snorted coldly and sat down.

Chen Yang counted the time and said, "It's the second year of Jian'an, so the time is right."

"Not long after, not only Dian Wei will die, but also the prime minister's eldest son Cao Ang. They will not survive this year and will die in Wancheng."

"Presumptuous, what a brat, you are bewitching the crowd, disturbing the morale of the army, I will kill you!"

Dian Wei was furious, and stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yang's neck.
