Chapter 12 There is a way to have both worlds in peace
The box is closed…
The golden light finally dimmed, and the smell of copper in the air also dissipated.
"Brother Hide, you are so prosperous."
Yi Xiaotian showed a surprised expression, "I bought two boxes of gold and silver jewelry. Have you made a fortune recently?"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Cao Cao was still laughing. While laughing, he did not forget to bring up a few stacks of side dishes on the ground, and also filled a bowl of wine for Yi Xiaotian.
"Brother Yi..." Cao Cao patted the two boxes. "I am able to become rich, but it is thanks to Brother Yi."
Huh? Yi Xiaotian put the back of his hand on his chin, willing to hear the details.
"Brother Yi, do you still remember the sixteen-character policy for defeating the Yanzhou moth thief that you left behind when we were drunk last time?"
"You mean? When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we fight, when the enemy retreats, we pursue?" Yi Xiaotian asked back. "I was just talking drunkenly...Brother Yi, don't take it seriously!"
"Haha! Those are the sixteen words!" Cao Cao raised the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then said with a hearty smile. "I dedicated these sixteen words policy to Cao Cao. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then Cao Cao immediately understood the meaning of the sixteen-character mantra, which told him to be shameless in fighting. So Cao Cao changed his previous direct confrontation and chose guerrilla and harassment. He did not seek a big victory, but only a small victory. One after another, then
The moth thieves are exhausted from running for their lives, and their mentality has collapsed! No, they have been driven out of Yanzhou."
At this point, Cao Cao deliberately moved his mouth closer to Yi Xiaotian and said quietly: "Guess what these moth thieves call Cao Cao?"
"What?"
"Rogue State Shepherd!" He blurted out in one sentence, hahahaha... Cao Cao laughed again, as if he liked this title very much.
"The moth thief is not afraid of the hard or the soft, but is afraid of the shameless. Cao Cao's move is completely shameless! Of course, this shameless energy is all due to Brother Yi's contribution."
oh.
Yi Xiaotian blinked, thoughtfully. "So, if I make great contributions to brother Hide, the tide will naturally rise, and the business in Yanzhou will become more and more prosperous?"
"Hehe..." Cao Cao nodded. "Exactly, thanks to Brother Yi's contribution, now my business in Yanzhou is going smoothly. Two small boxes of gold, silver and jewelry are not enough to repay Brother Yi's great kindness...
"
Cao Cao poured himself another full bowl of wine. This was to give Yi Xiaotian a bowl, but also because he was in high spirits and his mouth was dry.
Well…
Yi Xiaotian's face suddenly sank.
After opening his mouth several times, he finally closed his mouth, seemingly unable to speak.
"Brother Yi? Why do you look so ugly?"
Cao Cao asked hurriedly, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly explained. "Brother Yi, don't worry, I only said that I came up with this suggestion, and I definitely didn't mention a word about Brother Yi. Then Cao Cao will definitely not bother Yi."
Brother’s here.”
"That's not it…"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, then turned his head away, and smacked his lips, as if he was very distressed. "I asked why the business of the wine shop is so good today. It's because the thieves were beaten away, and the people of Yanzhou came out in groups to celebrate...
"
Cao Cao was stunned. Business is good. You should be happy. Why are you worried?
"Brother Yi? The wine shop is doing well? But you are worried?"
"Alas..." Yi Xiaotian sighed and chanted. "Is there a way to have both ends of the world? If you have money, you will have no freedom. If you have freedom, you will have no money!"
At this point, Cao Cao added with emotion. "The business of the wine shop is good, but I am one step further away from being free and easy. Life is like this...tragedy!"
Huh...this...
Cao Cao exhaled, he finally understood.
This Brother Yi is an outsider who "will throw away both for the sake of freedom." Even though his business is too good and he is too busy, it seems that this is not his original intention.
"Brother Yi." Cao Cao smiled lightly. "I'm just busy these days, I'll be fine in a few days... I don't know? What is the business that requires a lot of capital that Brother Yi mentioned? Can you tell me?
Tell me?"
"Well..."
When this topic was mentioned, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand. "The secret must not be leaked."
Immediately, Yi Xiaotian pointed directly at the box under the food and wine, and smiled slightly. "Brother Hao, if you give me so much money, I will count your share of this business. When the time comes, I will make money, and you will be indispensable!"
Hmm...so mysterious.
This time, Cao Cao was even more curious!
After chatting for a while, Cao Cao gradually brought the topic to the issues he was concerned about...
As usual, let’s talk about state affairs first.
"Brother Yi? Li Jue and Guo Si defeated Lu Bu... and captured Chang'an. I think the emperor will firmly control them in the future. These Xiliang thieves are monolithic. Are you afraid that no one among the various princes can punish them now?
"
Cao Cao was like this when he was young, worried about the country and the people, and still thinking about the Han Dynasty and the little emperor.
"Sanctions?"
Yi Xiaotian asked back. "Why are there sanctions? These rough people from outside the customs, once there is an invasion from foreign enemies, they will hug each other tightly and look more disgusting than women. But if there are no foreign enemies, internal
It’s not necessarily monolithic!”
"What does Brother Yi mean? Will Li Jue and Guo Si fight in each other's nest?" Cao Cao asked back.
He felt it was wrong to bring this up.
When he was in Luoyang, he had contact with Li Jue and Guo Si. These two brothers couldn't even wear a pair of trousers? How could they turn against each other and become enemies?
"Brother Yi? I heard that Li Jue is closer to Guo Si than to their wives... These two people probably won't turn against each other, right?"
hey-hey…
Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud... "Brother Hiding? If you told me that it was because of a woman this time, would you believe it or not?"
Cao Cao shook his head, he didn't believe it.
If Yi Xiao's idea is to follow, everything can be blamed on women. Those who dare to seize the world are men, and those who lose the world are women, right?
What's more.
The last time Dong Zhuo was greedy for women, there was no trace left, and the lessons learned from his past are still fresh in his mind. This time, Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely learn from their mistakes. I'm afraid the beauty trap won't work.
Seeing Cao Cao's completely unbelieving look, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "Brother Hi, if you don't believe it, how about we stick to the old rules?"
"bet?"
"Yes, a bet? Do you dare to hide it from your brother or not?" Yi Xiaotian asked...
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed. "Why don't you dare? I just don't know what kind of bet Brother Yi wants this time? Can I afford it..."
Although Yi Xiaotian's prediction was unreliable.
After all, the living examples were vivid in his mind. It was a bet, and Cao Cao vaguely felt that he would still lose...
But he was willing to make a bet with Yi Xiaotian. If he didn't lose something, he would always feel sorry in his heart.
"My wine shop has been in disrepair for a long time. I, Yi Xiaotian, have always had a dream, which is to renovate it. It is best to expand it in a circle and plant some flowers and plants. It would be great if we could plant a ten-mile peach forest.
But it’s too late.”
Yi Xiaotian sighed.
"Brother, I just have a dream. I hope that I will die while drinking and drinking, and I don't want to bow in front of carriages. If I could smell the fragrance of peach blossoms as soon as I open my eyes... and feel the free fragrance of nature, then..."
Hey, I can still feel the free fragrance of nature in the old and dead flower and wine room.
Not to mention, Cao Cao was envious. If he had not had great ambitions, he would have built such a peach garden and spent his whole life leisurely.
"Brother Yi? These two big boxes of gold and silver jewelry are not enough to renovate the wine shop? Are you planting peach orchards?" Cao Cao patted the box and asked with a smile...
These two boxes were very heavy, and Cao Cao filled them with gritted teeth. He felt distressed, but did not regret it.
The gold, silver and jewelry inside are enough for you to plant hundreds of miles of peach blossoms, let alone a ten-mile peach orchard.
Who knows, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand.
"How can this be confused? These two boxes are my capital for doing big business!"
Yi Xiaotian pretended to be mysterious. "If this business is successful, I will be a rich man in the rest of my life!"
"Hahaha…"
Cao Cao laughed. The more Yi Xiaotian emphasized his dream of becoming a rich man, the more confident Cao Cao felt about him...
Cao Cao even murmured mentally.
"If I become the overlord of the world, why can't you become the richest man in the world?"
