Chapter Thirteen: Blessings lie beneath misfortunes, misfortunes lie upon blessings
"Brother Yi, I am becoming more and more curious about your big business."
Cao Cao picked up the wine bowl.
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. "Then our bet is considered settled?"
"Of course!" Cao Cao raised his hand and looked very heroic. "I'll bet Li Jue that Guo Si will never fight among himself because of women!"
"Haha, what if I lose this time?" Yi Xiaotian asked proactively... "What bet does Brother Hi want?"
"Just give me a free drink!" Cao Cao said with a smile. "Brother Yi doesn't seem very confident this time!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian scratched his head. "It's not that I'm not confident, it's mainly because I'm sorry that I always win. I just listen to what you want. Come on, even if I win you this time, I won't be able to win."
I’ll charge you for drinks again!”
"How can this be done?" Cao Cao frowned. "Am I the one who lacks these strings of five baht?"
When he said this, Cao Cao felt extremely guilty...
Of course he doesn't lack these strings of five baht, and he doesn't even lack the money to help Yi Xiaotian repair the wine shop and plant peach orchards. He lacks a lot of military expenses.
"OK OK!"
Yi Xiaotian raised the bowl, and this time he took the initiative to offer a bowl to Cao Cao.
This bowl was considered a gentleman's bet between the two.
However, Yi Xiaotian knew that Brother Hidden would definitely lose this time.
Admittedly, Ah Man was right. Li Jue and Guo Si from Xiliang had a very close relationship.
However, the reason is that their relationship is so good, even better than the relationship with my own mother-in-law...
How good!
Li Jue invited Guo Si to his house for a drink every day. He just drank, but he stayed up all night. On these nights, the two old men were together, making fire, and naturally they would do some indescribable things...
For example, call some beautiful beauties and spend the night together!
Now, after knowing the truth, Mrs. Guo Si almost shed tears. She quit, so she came up with a bad idea to drive a wedge between Li Jue and Guo Si in a very special way!
She wants to take back her man...
However, just such a estrangement caused Li Jue and Guo Bang to have irreconcilable conflicts and even fight...
In the end, the brave soldiers of Xiliang were defeated by internal friction. Both sides suffered losses and died in a foreign country!
Before traveling through time, Yi Xiaotian always sighed with emotion every time he visited here. It is not easy for a woman to make a man, but it is really easy to destroy a man!
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian turned around and looked at his dilapidated wine shop, wondering in his heart that he would finally have a sponsor to help with renovations, and there would be ten miles of peach blossoms. Thinking about it made him feel timid in a different way.
But... I always lie to my brother, which makes me feel a little embarrassed.
With a wry smile, Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to remind him.
"Brother Hi, you have to be more careful in doing business during this period. Even though the moth thieves have been expelled from Yanzhou, the boundaries of Yanzhou are still not peaceful. These moth thieves have nowhere to go and cannot be protected. They may come back at any time."
Hear the words.
Phew...Cao Cao trembled slightly.
What Yi Xiaotian mentioned, the ownership of the three hundred thousand moth thieves is the key to his coming here.
He deliberately put this question at the end, just to wait until Yi Xiaotian was drunk before asking.
Youdao means telling the truth after drinking...
For Yi Xiaotian, the smell of fragrance coming from his mouth after drinking was a game-breaker.
"Brother Yi, since you mentioned this, I really heard something!" Seeing Yi Xiaotian looking a little drunk, Cao Cao simply said... "I heard that these 300,000 yellow scarf thieves are going to surrender to Cao Cao, Brother Yi said
Tell me, will Cao Cao accept it? Do you dare to accept it?"
At this point, Cao Cao was afraid of exposing his flaws, so he did not forget to add one sentence.
"Are these 300,000 thieves? If Cao Cao accepts surrender and a rebellion starts, my business in Yanzhou will be completely ruined!"
"What do you mean by hiding this from me, Cao Cao can't surrender these thieves?" Yi Xiaotian asked back.
"What else?"
Cao Cao's eyes became more and more urgent, and he deliberately lowered his voice.
"I have heard that Yanzhou's grain depot is not rich. If there are 300,000 more yellow turban thieves and 300,000 mouths, Yanzhou will have no food available in less than a year. At that time, these moth thieves will not be able to save everything and will be burned.
Killing, looting, and biting Cao Cao is not impossible. How can you both support and let go of such a group of people? Brother Yi, tell me, can Cao Cao accept surrender? Do you dare to accept surrender?"
Cao Cao expressed his concerns...
His eyes were wide open, looking at Yi Xiaotian with great sincerity.
At this time, Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes, and then with a "bang" sound, he slapped the box with his palm, feeling quite excited.
"Unless Cao Cao is kicked in the head by a donkey, if these 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves surrender, they will accept it even if they accept it, or they will accept it if they don't!"
Phew...this...
Cao Cao was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Brother Yi? Why is this?"
"Brother Hide, as a businessman, what you consider is the stability of Yanzhou and the gains and losses of your own business, so your vision will naturally be narrower. As a prince, Cao Cao will consider the world, the situation, and the people's hearts..."
Yi Xiaotian stood up directly and said without thinking:
"Please surrender these 300,000 thieves? If Cao Cao refuses to surrender, or pretends to surrender, there will only be two consequences."
"One is that the desperate moth thieves came back and attacked Yanzhou at all costs. As the saying goes, if the cauldron sinks the boat, the hundred and two Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu. Cao Cao will not fail to know the truth that the soldiers will win. Even if he has a good leader, he can withstand this
A wave of offensive, but to completely wipe out these 300,000 moth thieves, Yanzhou officials and people will definitely suffer heavy casualties and pay a heavy price! These are troubled times. After this battle, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to stand up in ten or eight years.
Got it!"
"And the other one is to pretend to surrender, imitating the pre-Qin Bai Qi, when the Western Chu Overlord killed 300,000 Yellow Turbans. If this is the case, then the bad reputation of Cao Cao's killing of surrender will immediately spread to the world, not to mention that knowledgeable people will not come to defect to him again.
For him, I am afraid that countless princes will denounce him. The scholars of the Han Dynasty will compare him to Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang... His reputation as Cao Cao is completely stinky! Brother Hide, don't you know? Bai Qi of the pre-Qin Dynasty
, the overlord of Western Chu tricked and killed his soldiers, what will be their final fate, right?"
Effortlessly…
Yi Xiaotian's words were impassioned and full of emotion.
Cao Cao listened to his ears, but his whole body was trembling, and big beads of sweat kept falling from his neck, from his ears, and from his back...
His whole clothes were wet.
A "gudong" sound was the echo of a mouthful of saliva swallowed into the stomach.
Cao Cao felt a sense of fear, and it was a pity that he did not take these two steps.
Whether he refuses to surrender or pretends to surrender, in the end, Cao Cao's ending will be a "cool"...
OMG…
Three hundred thousand thieves are in big trouble. They have to force him to surrender even if he bites the bullet.
It seems that he noticed that Cao Cao frowned and his expression was serious.
Yi Xiaotian asked: "Brother Hi, is your expression wrong? Could it be that you are sick?"
"No... no..." Cao Cao waved his hands repeatedly, and he patted his chest lightly, trying to calm down his mood. "Brother Yi? Then you said that Cao Cao must surrender? But... after surrendering, there are a lot of things.
Problem!"
As if he felt that his emotions were a little too excited, Cao Cao added, "Oh, the world is so chaotic, Yanzhou's business can't be done!"
Cao Cao's tone was very hollow, like a quail. Now he is very melancholy. Why is it so difficult to be a Yanzhou shepherd!
Yi Xiaotian raised his hand.
"Blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings. You must accept surrender, not to mention the surrender. In my opinion, it is a blessing and not a curse!"
What?
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Cao Cao was stunned. Three hundred thousand moth thieves? Isn't this a big trouble? Why is it 'a blessing rather than a curse'?
