Chapter 228: Guandu Port, Is It Beautiful? Or Is It Dead?
Chapter 228: Is Guandu Port beautiful with clear waters? Or is it littered with corpses?
There is a wine shop in a private room on the second floor.
Freshly brewed wine, dishes, melons and fruits are all available. This time Cao Ren did not come with him. There were only Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao in Nuo Da's private room, which seemed a bit empty.
"Where's Brother Guo? Why don't you ask him to come and drink with you?" Cao Cao didn't talk about business, but instead asked about Guo Jia first.
"He." When mentioning Guo Jia, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands helplessly, "Brother Guo has been focusing on studying how to brew Fenjiu recently. He spends all day in the winery. I estimate that even sixteen horses can't pull it.
Let him go."
Hmm... Fenjiu?
The name sounded so nice that Cao Cao smacked his lips, feeling a little fascinated and eager to try it.
However, he quickly retracted his yearning for fine wine, sighed with a sigh, and then waved his hands. "What a pity. I originally wanted to tell Brother Yi and Brother Guo the good news at the same time!"
"It's never too late for good things to happen." Yi Xiaotian patted his chest, "In a few days, when Brother Guo is free, I will tell him the same thing!"
Cao Cao nodded, and then he thrust his whole head in the direction of Yi Xiaotian, his voice seemed to be deliberately lowered. "Brother Yi, Sun Ce is dead!"
Um...Sun Ce is dead?
The words came out of his mouth.
Yi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then he closed his eyes and thought carefully.
Counting the days with fingers, Sun Ce was assassinated, and then... he was so ugly in the mirror. It seemed that it was only in the past few months!
Phew...Yi Xiaotian scratched his head, even though he knew the truth early on.
But when I really heard that a generation of Jiangdong's little bullies passed away in such a tragic way, I couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.
On his side, he was sighing, while on Cao Cao's side, the corners of his mouth had long been raised, and a faint smile appeared, as if there was infinite joy and a bit of cunning in this smile.
"Brother Yi, I'm willing to admit defeat. This time I can lose a farm resort to you!"
Cao Cao raised his hands, as if laughing at himself, but why did he look so happy?
"Brother Hide, that's just a joke that Brother Guo and I played on you." Yi Xiaotian waved his hands, as if rejecting Cao Cao's kindness. "In these troubled times, where can I buy a village? Isn't this embarrassing Brother Hide...
"
Regarding this matter, Yi Xiaotian really thought about hiding it from his brother.
The main thing is that it is indeed difficult and cannot be solved with money alone.
Who knew...
"No... It's not embarrassing, not at all." Cao Cao's tone became more meticulous. "I, Ah Man, have always been able to afford to lose. It's just a resort. This is nothing to me, it's just..."
"Just?" Yi Xiaotian repeated these two words...
I was thinking in my mind that it would be very difficult to buy a resort if I kept it from my brother. I guess there would be a lot of problems, right?
Just when he thought of this, Cao Cao's words came out one after another. "It's just that the location of this resort is at Guandu Port..."
Ah...ah...
Yi Xiaotian was startled? Guan… Guandu?
This place name is not unfamiliar. When studying the history of this period, no other name impressed Yi Xiaotian more than Guandu and Chibi.
He calculated with his fingers that it was now the fourth year of Jian'an and the Battle of Guandu would begin next year.
The resort is in Guandu. Is this a leisure vacation? Or is it a war-torn place? Yi Xiaotian felt a chill running down his spine, a feeling like a war.
Looking at Yi Xiaotian's horrified look, Cao Cao seemed to be as expected...
How smart and wise Brother Yi is? How could he not figure out that the battlefield between Cao and Yuan is in Guandu?
Speaking of which, building a resort in Guandu is indeed a bit far-fetched, but isn't it said in "An Message to Crying out Thieves" that first there must be extraordinary people before extraordinary things can happen, and only when there are extraordinary things can things happen.
It's a great achievement. He obeyed the authority when the situation was urgent. This time, Brother Yi really had to be wronged.
Ahem...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao coughed and explained in detail. "Brother Yi, you don't know that I have been looking for this resort in Guandu for a long time. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It is really the best place for leisure and vacation!"
Well…
Yi Xiaotian felt confused.
Brother, do you have any misunderstandings about the words "beautiful mountains and clear waters" and "singing birds and fragrant flowers"?
Is Guandu Port restored to its beautiful scenery? Is it restored to the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers? If you look again next year, it will be a scene of mourning and blood flowing everywhere, and it will soon be a scene of ruins and ruins.
Let alone go there for leisure and relaxation, even if it opens for business, no one will come!
"Brother Hi, if you are really in trouble, just forget about this resort."
Yi Xiaotian simply waved his hand... "Brother Guo just mentioned it casually at first, but brother, you see, the resort you chose is a port, with no village in front and no store in the back. It is at the junction of Cao and Yuan.
It’s very messy, not to mention it has no character, why is it open for business? Who’s going on vacation!”
"I...I'm coming!" Cao Cao blurted out...
But soon, he felt that he had gone too far and hurriedly explained.
"Brother Yi, what I mean is that I have many friends around me. I can introduce them! You also know that the friends around me are either high-ranking officials or powerful businessmen. They are not merciless when it comes to spending money!"
"But, it has no characteristics!" Yi Xiaotian still waved his hand... Nowadays, people set up street stalls and pay attention to differentiation. It's weird to make money by setting up something that has no characteristics for the general public!
“Who said it’s featureless?”
Cao Cao's expression suddenly became very serious. "Guandu Port is on the edge of the Yellow River. The rolling Yellow River flows to the east. How majestic and magnificent it is? Isn't it worth visiting? Besides, there are tens of kilograms in the Yellow River.
The big carp from the Yellow River are all wild, and the taste is... mouth-watering!"
What Cao Cao said made him salivate. In order to deceive Yi Xiaotian, he also tried his best.
Uh...okay.
Looking at Cao Cao's appearance, Yi Xiaotian felt that he couldn't bear it if he didn't accept it. After all, it was his intention to hide it from his brother, which was better than nothing, better than nothing...
He was thinking about going to Guandu some time later.
If the resort has any hope of making a profit, then it can be kept open. If not, there will be no loss if it closes down.
After thinking about these points, Yi Xiaotian cupped his hands and said, "It's disrespectful, so I'd like to thank you, Brother Hide..."
"Brother Yi, you're welcome."
With his beard tied, Cao Cao finally deceived Yi Xiaotian into Guandu Port, which was crucial to his future.
Let’s finish talking about Guandu Port and resort issues.
It’s time to talk about a series of other issues, such as the "Remonstrance against Thieves", the issue of the surrender faction in the imperial court, Yuan Shao’s diplomatic war, the offensive of the public opinion war, the surging undercurrent in Xudu City, and Liu Bei.
A king-level hidden skill...
At first glance, none of these are fuel-efficient lamps!
Where to start?
Cao Cao picked up the wine bowl and didn't drink for a long time, but he hesitated for a while...
"No..." Suddenly, Yi Xiaotian stood up suddenly. He lay down on the window and looked at the sky and counted the time.
Immediately after knocking on the forehead, the whole person ran out of the door... and kept chattering, "It's delayed, it's delayed."
Look at his eager look.
Cao Cao also chased him out...
"Brother Yi? What are you doing..." Cao Cao asked anxiously.
"The time has been set today. I will give a lecture in Youjian Study Room." Yi Xiaotian replied directly. "Speaking of it, today's topic is very new and sensitive... but there are many students from all over the world!"
It is true that because of the recommendation of Cai Zhaoji's father Cai Yong, all the talented people in the world don't know...
Thirty miles outside Xudu City, there are ten miles of peach trees and waterside study halls. There are lectures on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
This time is no different from the once popular Runan Yuedan Commentary.
It seems that, after several years of teaching in the forum, whether it is Yi Xiaotian's status among the scholars, Shuixie Study Room, the content of the lectures in the forum, or the golden signboard of Youjian Villa, all these... have long been...
Packaging has become a carnival for scholars!
Many scholars are eagerly looking forward to the opening of the lectures for the first and fifteenth grade of junior high school!
Of course, Yi Xiaotian was also looking forward to it. He was a history professor who didn't give two major lectures in a month, and he still felt uncomfortable all over.
"Brother Yi, what are you talking about this time?"
Cao Cao thought about it, Yi Xiaotian just raised it, it was a very novel and sensitive topic, and he was a little curious.
Yi Xiaotian answered while straightening his clothes.
"What I want to talk about this time is the "A Message to the Thieves" written by Chen Lin from Hebei and sent to the world! Moreover, through this "Complaint to the Thieves", I will also talk about the victory and defeat of Cao and Yuan!"
Huo…asking for a thief’s confession?
Huo...Cao and Yuan? Who wins and who loses?
Brother Yi wants to preach against thieves? Does he also want to comment on Cao Yuan's victory or defeat?
Cao Cao's footsteps suddenly stopped. He was a little confused and even more surprised?
Isn't that an "eternal masterpiece" with a total of one thousand four hundred and fifty-three words from the beginning to the end of "An Exhortation to Thieves", in which Cao Cao scolded him completely?
Cao Cao was still thinking about how to deal with this thief appeal this time.
I never thought that Brother Yi would directly open a forum and give lectures.
Also, can we tell Cao Yuan’s victory or defeat through this article?
For a time, Cao Cao's forehead was full of question marks. He was like an ordinary scholar, eagerly looking forward to Yi Xiaotian's opening lecture.
