Chapter 176
: Falling in love
Cao Cao and Xu Chu also raised their glasses and then drank them all in one go.
"Come on, eat meat and you will be satisfied with it." Su Chen put down his wine glass and said.
Cao Cao took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of half fat and half thin meat into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his eyes widened.
“It’s really delicious.”
While talking, he chewed it quickly, then swallowed it quickly, and then immediately grabbed a second piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Well... the lips and teeth are fragrant. After eating this dish by Mr. How can I eat the dishes made by the chef in the future?" Cao Cao looked at Su Chen in shock, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the talented people in the world, I would have wanted to invite Mr. back and cook for me specifically."
Cao Cao said, but saw a pair of chopsticks around him appearing quickly from his eyes and disappearing quickly.
He stopped talking and turned to look.
But Xu Chu opened his mouth wide and ate so much that he was soaked in oil. While eating, he poured himself a glass of strong wine to drink.
An expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.
Wine with delicacies.
These dishes are so delicious.
Wine is also good wine.
Xu Chu has never enjoyed it like this in his life.
If he wants to drink such good wine and eat such good dishes in his whole life, he will be willing to live ten years less.
soon.
Xu Chu ate half of the dishes on the table. Cao Cao was both amused and angry: "Zhongkang, look at what you look like."
As he said that, he showed his majesty as the lord.
"I haven't eaten a few bites yet. You have almost finished the dish and wine. When I go back, I'll see how I punish you."
Xu Chu drank wine and said with a rosy expression: "Hehe, lord, you can punish him anyway. I admit it, but if you want me not to drink, that won't work."
"I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink."
As he said that, he accelerated the speed again.
When Cao Cao saw that, he couldn't do it.
Su Chen cooked this table of dishes himself. He would eat it next time, but he didn't know when he would wait.
then.
I didn't talk nonsense, I started eating by myself.
In fact.
Cao Cao acted so casually because he regarded Su Chen as his own person.
It’s like a family having a meal, there is no need to have so many rules.
From the details, dispel Su Chen's vigilance against him.
Not to mention, Cao Cao seemed rough, but his mind was quite delicate in these aspects.
At least Su Chen enjoyed this dining process very much.
However, he quickly withdrew his thoughts and calmed down.
The guests enjoyed a meal.
After using up the meal, Su Chen asked him to come and clean up.
Both Cao Cao and Xu Chu were still unsatisfied.
Especially Xu Chu.
Holding the remaining half pot of wine, I planned to hide it for my own sake, and secretly took it back.
no way.
The wine Su Chen took out was so delicious.
And, there is no place to buy it.
He stayed with him for half a pot of wine and was greedy in the future. He could take a small sip to satisfy his craving.
Cao Cao was a little helpless about Xu Chu's small actions.
But he couldn't bear to punish him, so he asked with a smile: "Sir, Zhongkang is a wine lover. I don't know if there is such a good wine, do you have any more here?"
Xu Chu, who was beside him, quickly raised his ears and eavesdropped on him.
"Yes, there are, but the number is not large. In this way, I will get two more jars for Zhongkang." Su Chen did not refuse.
He stood up and returned to the tent.
But Zhen Mi curled up on his bed, frowned, and fell asleep deeply.
It seems that she is indeed a little tired.
Su Chen didn't bother him, and took the drink and walked out directly.
"Zhongkang, then."
Su Chen threw it away and the two jars of wine flew out. Xu Chu's face changed. He hurriedly reached out and hugged the jar firmly. Only then did he smile with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for giving the wine. If you have any problems in the future, please look for me and never frown."
Xu Chu held the wine jar and promised to find a treasure.
Su Chen smiled and shook his head, and sat down again.
"Sir, I have now taken over Jizhou and the four northern prefectures. The remaining Qingyou and the three prefectures are under the hands of Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan. There are about 100,000 troops under these three people."
"However, although Qingyoubing's three states have a large area, they have a small population and are quite barren. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Cao Cao told Su Chen about the situation.
In his heart, he really wanted to take over the land of the Three States in one go.
However, these three states are indeed not a fat place, and to him, they are not that important.
Moreover, after several days of war, Cao's army was in a state of exhaustion. The most important thing is that the consumption of food and grass was an astronomical amount, and he was almost unable to afford it.
If you continue to attack the three states, you don’t know how long it will take.
So in his heart, he was still not sure whether to continue fighting or return to Xuchang to recuperate and wait for a few years to fight, but he still couldn't pay attention.
"Sir, what should I do?"
When Su Chen heard Cao Cao's words, he thought for a moment.
"Duke Cao, the three northern states, must take advantage of the situation." Su Chen said firmly.
"Can you tell me your reasons?" Cao Cao asked.
"First, Cao Gong defeated Yuan Shao and shocked the world. In addition, he took the emperor to command the princes and occupied the great righteousness. This is the time of heaven."
"Secondly, the green and secluded states are combined with the three states, and the bitter and cold land is used to make up for the suffering. Cao Gong only needed to occupy a few important cities, and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and others would have no place to live. This is a good place."
"Third, our army fought one after another, and it was a time when the military peak was sharp. At this time, the morale was strong and everyone asked for a fight. This is a harmonious person."
"The right time, place, and people are all in Cao Gong, so why don't you take advantage of the situation and attack?"
Cao Cao nodded.
After listening to Su Chenyi's analysis, the next battle situation is much clearer.
"Besides, Cao Gong is now under the influence of the country. You have personally written a letter of surrender. Do you dare not obey the three states?"
"At that time, Cao Gong just needs to see their rebellion, and then take advantage of the chaos to collect the three states."
It's amazing!
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Another counter-espionage plan.
However, this counter-espionage strategy is not aimed at a certain person, but at the major forces in the three states.
Let me ask, under the pressure of his army, I will send a letter of surrender.
Will those who want to survive not surrender?
If they want to surrender, they will inevitably not go against Cao's army again.
He even cooperated with Cao's army inside and outside.
At this time, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and others saw that the people under their command were secretly composing music. What would they do?
It is necessary to first eliminate those who are secretly colluded to ensure that there will be no civil strife when Cao's army arrives.
In this way.
Not only did he consume the vitality of the three states, he even used Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to eliminate some unstable factors.
It can allow him to accept Qingyou and the three states more smoothly in the future.
This move can be said to be a kill of two birds with one stone.
After thinking it through, Cao Cao looked up and his eyes looked at Su Chen became more and more intense.
Then, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Su Chen, with an extremely sincere attitude: "I would like to ask the sir to come out and help me, and I will treat you with the highest courtesy."
Su Chen shook his head.
How tiring it is to come out to be a military advisor.
He just wants to make some salty fish worth every day.
Still free.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Cao Gong. I just want to stay in the baggage camp and be an ordinary grain transport official."
Cao Cao sighed when he heard this.
It seems that this matter is not urgent.
I can only do it step by step.
"Sir, since you don't want to, then follow your position. However, you must take over the position of this military advisor no matter what." Cao Cao said solemnly.
When Su Chen saw Cao Cao's expression, he looked like he would not give up if he didn't accept it.
After thinking about it, I don’t have to leave the baggage camp anyway.
Whether it is a grain transport official or a military advisor, it is just a different name.
It doesn't matter.
Immediately, he responded.
"Okay, I'll take it, but Cao Gong, I really don't know any strategy. I only know how to grow vegetables, fish, brew and brew. Let me explain it first to avoid disappointment from Cao Gong in the future." Su Chen said truthfully.
"Haha, sir, I understand, I understand." Cao Cao laughed.
Just think this is Su Chen's self-worthy words.
"Okay, I have to arrange military affairs immediately, so I won't bother with sir." As he said that, Cao Cao took Xu Chu away.
On the way back to Jizhou City, Cao Cao never stopped the smile on his face.
Xu Chu held two jars of wine and followed Cao Cao with a silly smile.
After the two left the baggage camp, they immediately saw a sneaky figure appearing not far away.
It's Cheng Yu.
At that time, he saw Cao Cao and Xu Chu hurriedly leaving the city. He was curious and followed him.
I happened to see the two of them entering the baggage camp.
At that time, Cheng Yu felt that there must be an ulterior motive for this.
However, he did not follow in recklessly, but waited outside to see what happened.
But he didn't expect that Cheng Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to go in and take a look, but he ran into Cao Cao head-on.
Suddenly, his face changed.
But Cheng Yu is not an ordinary person either. After a brief period of loss of consciousness, he took the initiative to meet him: "I have met the lord."
"Zhongde, if you are not in Jizhou City, why are you going out to do? " Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu vigilantly.
"Lord, I'll check the grain." Cheng Yu said.
"Then have you finished checking?" Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Since that's the case, then follow me to go back to the city." After Cao Cao said that, he turned around and left without giving Cheng Yu a chance to speak.
"this……"
Cheng Yu originally planned to go to the place where Cao Cao had just gone, but at this time he had no choice but to give up and follow Cao Cao back to Jizhou City.
...
Baggage camp.
Seeing that Zhen Mi was sleeping soundly, Su Chen did not disturb her, so he ordered someone to bring in another soft bed, lay it on her brand new bedding, and then lay it on her.
The next morning.
As soon as Su Chen got up, he saw Zhen Mi sitting on a stool, holding her chin with her hands in a daze.
Hearing the sound, Zhen Mi turned her head.
A panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stood up and shouted, "Young Master, you are awake."
Su Chen originally slept with his clothes, so he pulled open the quilt and got out of bed.
He looked at Zhen Mi and asked with a smile: "Do you miss home?"
"Yes." Zhen Mi nodded.
At the same time, I felt a little strange.
The young man in front of him seemed to be a little different from other men.
But she couldn't tell me where the specific difference was.
"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to send you back to Jizhou later. You can go find your tribe members." Su Chen said lightly.
Although, he also had some thoughts about Zhen Mi that men should have.
However, now that the clan has just suffered a great disaster, he can't force himself to hold on to others, right?
"ah?"
Zhen Mi panicked for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "Jizhou City is not peaceful now, and you will be bullied when you go back."
With her appearance, if no one is protected, what if she returns to Jizhou City, what if she returns to the Zhen family?
If there were senior officials of Cao's army who fell in love with her, the Zhen family would not be able to protect her at all.
It's better to stay here.
"It's up to you." Su Chen didn't care.
"By the way, I'll give you this book back." He took out the He Luoqi book and handed it to Zhen Mi.
Anyway, the attribute points have been absorbed, so this book is of no use to him.
"Thank you." Zhen Mi said movedly.
This book is very important to her and the Zhen clan.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen was willing to return it.
At this moment, Zhen Mi's favorability for Su Chen rose sharply.
After taking the book, she started to look in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen took a few casual glances and suddenly felt a little funny.
The economic knowledge involved here is really a bit shallow.
However, in this era, it is indeed a strange book.
For example, the book mentions issues such as inflation and luxury goods, and even the prototype of a money house has emerged.
You know, the money shop really appears and it will be time to go to the Northern Song Dynasty.
It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that it flourished.
When he saw Zhen Mi frowning somewhere, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't you understand here?"
"Well, I always feel obscure and difficult to understand. It's really troublesome to do business." Zhen Mi nodded and said.
"I can tell you what I think, maybe I can help you." Su Chen said.
"Ah?" Zhen Mi was stunned and looked at Su Chen in surprise, "Does your young master understand these? That's great, I just won't bother you, right?"
Su Chen smiled and shook his head: "Of course not."
"That's great."
Zhen Mi hurriedly went to the side and brought the stool to him, "Young master, please sit down."
Su Chen sat next to Zhen Mi with a smile.
Looking at his pretty face that was so close and smelling the strong body fragrance, Su Chen seemed to have returned to his high school years at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Around me, there are beautiful girls who ask questions to me every day.
Thinking of it, his heart suddenly jumped.
"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Zhen Mi saw Su Chen's eyes dazed, and a layer of blush immediately appeared on her snow-white cheeks.
"It's okay." Su Chen came to his senses, then pointed to the contents of the book and explained, "It should be understood so much here."
One month later.
Su Chen finished the last page of Heluoqi's book, and Zhen Mi stood up obediently and went to pour tea for Su Chen.
He stood up and moved his body, and walked outside the tent.
"Sir, you have a great victory, a great victory." Zhao Yang's voice came from not far away.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment.
A big victory?
Could it be that Cao Cao took Qingyou and the three states so quickly?
Soon, Zhao Yang gave him the answer.
"Sir, the lords are divided into forces to capture the three states. Wherever they pass, the enemy descends. Now that the three states are all under the lords' hands, we can finally return to Xuchang."
Zhao Yang roared, his expression full of excitement.
Since the Battle of Guandu, the war has ended completely today.
More than two years have passed.
In the past two years, he has not even returned to Xuchang for a day.
I don't know how the old and young people at home are doing.
Now he wanted to put wings on his back and fly back to Xuchang immediately.
"Well, this is good news." Su Chen nodded with a smile.
Now that Cao Cao has unified the north, the north has finally stabilized, and the people can live a stable life.
Even when the Three Kingdoms ended, no war occurred in the north.
This is also what Su Chen likes Cao Cao more.
At least Cao Cao ended the local dispute.
However, Su Chen did not relax his vigilance.
Because the real war begins next.
The two opponents Cao Cao had to face, whether it was Liu Bei or Sun Quan, were not so easy to deal with.
Otherwise, in the original history, Cao Cao would not have been defeated in the Battle of Red Cliff.
"Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu..."
Su Chen was muttering the names of these four people, because in the future, he would fight with these four people one by one.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little excited.
"By the way, sir, the lord ordered the entire army to reward for three days. We can relax in the next few days." Zhao Yang said, showing a smile that only a man understood at Su Chen.
"I heard that Piaoxianglou in Jizhou City is a good place to go. I will invite the adults tonight to ensure that they will let the adults eat the marrow and know the taste, and they don't want to leave."
Piaoxianglou?
Seeing Zhao Yang's winking and eye-catching look, Su Chen knew where it was.
"I won't go, you'll go by yourself."
He shook his head and laughed.
The peerless beauty is right in front of him, how could he still like the vulgar rouge powder in Piaoxianglou?
"This..." Zhao Yang was suddenly a little disappointed.
However, Su Chen refused, and he did not dare to continue to pester.
"Then I will step down first."
After saying that, he turned around and left respectfully.
Su Chen returned to the tent.
The tea had been poured, Su Chen took a sip and looked at Zhen Mi.
Chapter completed!
