He was abandoned directly by the roadside.

Naturally, these wounded soldiers from Cao's army could not move very fast, so naturally there were scouts from Cao's army who passed the information to the ears of Xiahou Dun, the defender of Yangcheng.

When Xiahou Dun heard the news, he was eating breakfast preserved meat. Xiahou Dun was worried and ate very slowly. Although Xiahou Dun returned to Yangcheng and everything seemed to be back to the way it was before, everyone knew that things were completely different.

.

Cao Cao told Xiahou Dun not to think too much, but could Xiahou Dun really not think about anything?

Many people in the court have begun to talk privately that the Xiahou clan is actually trash, Xiahou Yuan is like this, Xiahou Dun is no exception, and then Xiahou Chong, hehehehe...

The more Cao Cao trusted Xiahou Dun, the more responsibility he felt towards Xiahou Dun. Trust is a kind of debt, and it must be repaid to some extent. Although there were some reasons for the defeat in the previous battle with Hussar, a defeat is a defeat, even if

No matter how much emphasis is placed on objective and subjective factors, people will think that they are quibbling and shirking responsibility.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun had to endure these gossips, endure them silently, then grind them up and swallow them in his stomach, just like the bowl of wheat rice in front of him.

Cao Tai, who came to report the news, couldn't help but cursed: "Young son of the Yang family! This is so sinister! It's not right for these wounded soldiers to suffer, let alone not to suffer!" Cao Tai is Cao Ren's eldest son, and he is somewhat young and energetic now. Naturally,

Whenever something comes to mind, I spray it.

Xiahou Dun continued to eat slowly, then put the last pickle and a few grains of wheat into his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, as if he was eating some delicacy.

"Isn't this the case for all hussars?" Xiahou Dun put down the bowl, motioned for the guards to take it away, and said slowly, "Do you still hope that Mr. Yang will send food for the war horses and soldiers?"

Cao Tai frowned and said, "If we accept it, it may damage our morale."

Xiahou Dun nodded, "First set up a new battalion in the east of the city and send doctors to Haosheng for treatment... Also, if the Yang family has envoys coming with them, they will bring them to see someone..."

Xiahou Dun felt that Yang Xiu must not just send back the wounded prisoners as simple as that.

Sure enough, Yang Cang was brought to Xiahou Dun.

"Who are you?" Xiahou Dun asked.

Yang Cang bowed his hands and saluted: "I am Cao Yang Cang who was ordered by Luoyang."

"Hongnong Yang family?"

…

Yang Cang smiled, acquiescing.

Xiahou Dun nodded, and then said: "Take a seat."

"Thank you, General." Yang Cang sat down.

Xiahou Dun was silent for a moment and said, "Whose idea is it to return the wounded prisoners?"

"The hussar has an order. The head of the family is in charge of Yin in Henan, and he is in charge of Luoyang!" Yang Cang replied. The authority of the local prefect in the Han Dynasty was very powerful. The so-called chief meant that all military and political power were under the control of one person. Things like wounding prisoners were naturally included in this.

There is nothing wrong with what Yang Cang said. After all, Qiaoqi did hand over Luoyang to Yang Xiu in the first place.

Xiahou Dun nodded and said, "Why return it?"

Yang Cang said: "It is useless to keep these injuries, so it is better to return them."

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are sincere!" Xiahou Dun originally thought that Yang Cang would say some pathetic nonsense, but he did not expect that Yang Cang would state his purpose so directly and clearly.

"Apart from this, do you want anything else?" Xiahou Dun said leisurely.

Yang Cang cupped his hands and said: "The general can see thousands of miles away and illuminate all things. Returning the captives is to establish a city, exchange what is needed, and learn from each other's strengths!" Yang Xiu wants to rebuild the Heluo area and only relies on the strength of the Yang family.

There are some shortcomings, so it is necessary to get material support from other places. Then carrying out trade, a large number of business people and material exchanges will undoubtedly help Luoyang recover faster.

Yang Xiu speculated that there would not be a fight between Fei Qian and Cao Cao in a short time, so why not take advantage of this time to make a profit?

"Exchange each other's strengths and learn from each other's strengths?" Xiahou Dun frowned. He really didn't expect Yang Xiu's purpose to be this. He was a little surprised, and then became a little suspicious. Did Yang Xiu get some instructions from the Hussars General to do business specifically?

Use your name to infiltrate?

But the problem is that if there is such a market, it is indeed beneficial. Apart from anything else, the rare resource of war horses is what Cao Cao desires.

Is Yang Xiu really willing to open a market in Luoyang to allow trade?

This may sound a bit unbelievable, but it also makes Xiahou Dun a little excited.

Because Xiahou Dun also knew that it was impossible for Cao Cao to take the initiative to attack the Hussar General at this stage. If he could take advantage of this time to obtain some weapons and horses from the Hussar General, that would naturally be the best. Although before

There are also other channels, such as caravans taking the route to Wancheng, but if a market can be fixed, wouldn't it be much better than the caravan trading model with irregular times and uncertain quantities?

Xiahou Dun was hesitant. He didn't want to let this opportunity go, but he was also worried that it was a trap. What if it was a new trap?

Mutual trade between the two sides was a big or small matter. Naturally, Xiahou Dun could not make the decision alone, so on the one hand, he asked Yang Cang to stay in Yangcheng for a while, and on the other hand, he also sent soldiers to Xu County.
