Cao Cao's intention was good, and he wanted to bring his father to his own territory to enjoy peace and happiness.
But the key point is that he ignored a problem, a serious problem - his father is too rich...
According to records in ancient books, the old man Cao Song sorted out his family's property, gold, silver and jewelry, and loaded them into more than a hundred carts.
Aren’t you going around shouting, I have money, but you have the ability to be bandits? You have the ability to rob me!
As the saying goes, wealth should not be leaked, Cao Song is really an old fool...
That's not even the point.
The point is that those who robbed the old man's motorcade were none other than Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's men.
In order to avenge his father, Cao Cao sent out all the elites from Yanzhou to attack Xuzhou...
Then he captured a city, massacred a city, and paid for his father's life.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou suffered a tragic loss. In the end, the Xuzhou officers and soldiers were forced to fight with the same hatred of the enemy and resisted to the death. However, Picheng could not be captured at this time.
The incident developed further. Due to the long delay of the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao's hometown of Yanzhou was stolen by Lu Bu...
Xuzhou also asked Tao Qian to give it to Liu Bei.
A typical example of someone who steals a chicken but ends up losing a lot of rice, and a perfectly normal attempt to avenge his father turns out to be a tragedy.
Huh... Yi Xiaotian exhaled.
It doesn't matter whether Cao Cao can capture Xuzhou. The most important thing is that his hometown Yanzhou cannot be stolen!
There is a wine shop still in Yanzhou!
In the final analysis, Yi Xiaotian still has to rely on Cao Cao's protection and hopes to expand his business by cheating Cao Cao's money.
When I think of this.
Yi Xiaotian frowned and thought deeply, he had to find a way to prevent this tragedy.
But at this time.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper..." the knight urged. "Are my wine and meat ready? The matter is urgent and I don't dare to delay for a moment."
"In this case, I will go and urge you."
Yi Xiaotian replied with a smile while walking into the wine shop...
He took out some powder from his pocket and put it into the jug. This was a sweat medicine. It was so powerful that a person who took it would fall to the ground within seven steps and could sleep for a whole day.
Finished these.
"Coming, coming." Yi Xiaotian walked out slowly, carrying the wine bottle.
When the knight saw the wine, he hurriedly opened it and took a long drink...
Gudong... spicy, refreshing, this taste is authentic.
"Good wine..." the knight praised, immediately put away two kilograms of mutton, got on his horse, and prepared to gallop towards Langya County in Xuzhou.
The lord Cao Cao is obsessed with the old man...
Who knew, I just got on the horse...
There was a trance on the whole forehead, followed by a spin, the eyes gradually became blurred, and finally with a "dong" sound, the whole person fell off the horse and fell to the ground...
Yi Xiaotian nodded with interest and murmured in his heart. "The medicine is quite effective."
Because there are people everywhere.
Yi Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head again, looking worried, and then shouted loudly. "I told you, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. It's only half a catty. If you insist on drinking one catty, no one will faint.
Dizzy!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian hurriedly called to the waiter. "Quick, quick, quick, pull this guy... ah no, this soldier into the guest room of the hotel, let him have a good rest, rest!"
Don’t forget to add a complaint at the end: “I haven’t paid for the drinks yet!”
After giving these instructions, Yi Xiaotian did not forget to pick up the letter that the knight dropped on the ground.
After doing this, he clapped his hands, as if he was doing good deeds without leaving his name, and then walked into the wine shop leisurely.
He looked at the letter in his hand and muttered softly.
"Let this letter fly a little longer!"
…
…
Yanzhou, Chenliu County.
For several days, Cao Cao was a little irritable.
I haven't seen my dad in several years, and the feeling of missing me is getting worse.
You must know that the route from Chenliu County to Langya County is only over 800 miles, and the messenger rides a fast horse. Logically speaking, he can make the round trip in three days.
But unfortunately, it was already the fifth day. He, Cao Cao, was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but he didn't expect his father's reply to him.
There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
Cao Cao pursed his lips and fell into deep thought...
But at this time.
"Mengde, Mengde..."
Cao Ren ran over in a hurry. He was panting as he ran. There was a smile in his panting, but his laughter was very magical.
"Hahahaha... Meng De, you're laughing me to death, you're laughing me to death..."
"Zixiao? What happened to make you smile like this?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"Let us report from Kyoto. Li Jue and Guo Si are fighting. Not only are they fighting, but all the Xiliang army leaders from Dong Zhuo's old department are fighting..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Cao Ren seemed quite excited.
Well…
Cao Cao's heart trembled.
This news was indeed shocking, but...he subconsciously thought of Yi Xiaotian first.
Thinking of Yi Xiaotian's judgment...
Just over a month ago, Yi Xiaotian was sure that Li Jue and Guo Bang would fight, and it would be because of women!
At that time, Cao Cao also believed that the Xiliang warlords would be monolithic!
He even made a bet with Yi Xiaotian. The bet was to repair the wine shop and plant a ten-mile peach grove.
Cao Cao was deeply impressed...
"Zi Xiao? Li Jue and Guo Si are fighting because of women?" Cao Cao asked urgently...
"Meng De? How do you know!" Cao Ren was startled. He was responsible for communicating with various places in detail. Logically speaking, first-hand news would only reach him.
How did the eldest brother Cao Cao know?
"Zixiao, don't ask me yet. Li Jue, please tell me in detail about Guo Bin's internal strife."
Suddenly, Cao Cao's expression became meticulous. He asked Cao Ren to sit down, his eyes full of doubts.
"Haha, that's it..."
When this was mentioned, Cao Ren wanted to laugh. He patted his chest and tried hard to suppress the laughter in his heart...
Explained to Cao Cao carefully.
"Actually, Li Jue's original intention was to get closer to Guo Si, so he invited him to drink every day. When the wine was full, how could he miss the beauty, so Guo Si stayed at Li Jue's residence every night."
Well…
Cao Cao asked, "Then? It was this beauty who instigated the relationship between them?"
"That's not true!" Cao Ren waved his hand and laughed dryly. "It's Guo Si's wife. She is jealous. She is afraid that her man will become addicted to romance and never come home again, so..."
"Why?" Cao Cao suddenly became very interested in Mrs. Guo Si's behavior. Could this woman be...
"Haha, she deliberately gave Guo Si a laxative to give him a stomachache, and then sowed discord and made Guo Si suspect that Li Jue had poisoned the wine. After this back and forth, the relationship between the two deteriorated greatly, and she even hesitated to
Street fighting, big fights!"
"That's not all. The emperor sent his ministers to mediate the conflicts between Li Jue and Guo Si. The two agreed to reconcile and send each other's sons to each other's military camp as hostages...how could they..."
"Unfortunately, Li Jue's wife quit this time. She cried and shouted that she would not agree to send her only son to him even if she died! Now, Guo Si felt that Li Jue was not sincere, and the two sides started fighting again, and even
The generals from all Xiliang tribes joined the fight one after another to get a piece of Chang'an City!"
Cao Ren finished telling all the stories here, laughing while telling them.
As if to say, the biggest joke in the world.
Ha ha…
Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Men are the ones who win the world, and women are the ones who lose the world!"
At this time, Cao Cao was in an extremely happy mood.
He was afraid that these Xiliang leaders in Chang'an City would unite together and become monolithic.
In that case, no prince would be able to compete with them.
The current situation is very different. The Xiliang warlords have fallen into internal fighting. This is an opportunity and a good opportunity for Cao Cao, or for the princes in the world.
"The dispute between Li and Guo, two women, haha, Brother Yi was right again!"
Cao Cao clenched his fists and slammed the document...
There was a "pop" sound, and the writing and ink on the document and the tea cup splashed.
Cao Cao was especially excited... "The world is in chaos and the princes are fighting. Our opportunity has come!"
At this point, Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Zixiao, prepare your horses quickly!"
"Mengde? What are you doing?"
"When I went to Suanzao County, there was a wine shop. Now that Yanzhou is developing very well, it's time to ask Brother Yi how to deploy our strategy in the next step."
