Chapter 5: Cao Cao? Are you sure he can defeat the moth thieves?
Chenliu County, Suanzao County, "that" wine shop!
It was getting dark, Cai Zhaoji cleaned up the tables, while Yi Xiaotian calculated the accounts carefully, seeing that the wine shop was about to close.
But at this moment.
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually sounded...
The two men and two horses were like ghosts, galloping from the official road.
Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes and scratched his head, "Oh, there are guests again! Looks like we can't go to bed early!"
The skill of speaking...
"Brother Yi, here are two jars of Nine Brewing Spring Wine."
The voice was loud and clear, with a little smile...
Yi Xiaotian could tell from the voice that the person who came was Master Kuo. When he saw him hurriedly entering the restaurant, dusty and dirty... he had obviously been running all the way without stopping for a moment.
"Brother Hi? Brother Ren? My wine shop is about to close, but you guys are here... Are you just not letting me rest out of pure intention?"
Yi Xiaotian shook his head. "Unfortunately, Jiu Yunchun wine has been sold out. It may take a few days for new shipments to arrive."
"Hahaha…"
Unexpectedly, when he heard that Jiu Niang Spring Wine was out of stock, Cao Cao laughed out loud... "From now on, there is no need to go to Qiao County to buy this Jiu Niang Spring Wine. I have got the recipe for you here."
While Cao Cao was talking, Cao Ren carefully took out a roll of brocade from his arms and handed it over. It was densely written with small characters. In addition to the small characters, there were also pictures... It seemed to be the steps for brewing Jiu Niang Spring Wine!
Yi Xiaotian took it, raised it to the lantern, looked at it carefully... and nodded, "Wonderful, wonderful, my wine shop can brew this fine wine in the future, brother, you can help me save money."
Got a lot of money!”
"Haha... What nonsense." Cao Cao laughed. "Just as Brother Yi expected, Dong Zhuo really died at the hands of a woman. I am willing to admit defeat... I specially bought the brewing of these nine spring wines.
Recipe, give it to Brother Yi!"
As he spoke, he took out ten strings of five-baht coins from his arms and pushed them all in front of Yi Xiaotian.
"Why is this?" Yi Xiaotian raised his eyebrows slightly, a little confused.
"Drink money." Cao Cao looked quite heroic. "I haven't paid you the wine money from last time!"
"Then it won't take so much!"
"Isn't this it? I still have the money for the wine this time!" Cao Cao sat on a table and pointed to the wine cabinet. "If you don't have Jiu Niang Spring Wine, just grab a jar. The wine is not important. Today
My main purpose is to have a drink with Brother Yi."
Yi Xiaotian yawned, but did not dampen Cao Cao's interest...
He turned around and told Cai Zhaoji to go down and rest first, while he picked up two jars of sake and placed them in front of Cao Cao...
"These two jars of sake are tribute wine, brother, I won't take advantage of you!" After saying this, he threw his long sleeves over and pocketed all the ten bunches of five-baht coins on the table.
…
Three people, three bowls!
Cao Ren poured wine and placed a large bowl in front of everyone.
The three of them drank the first bowl in one go...
Cao Cao spoke.
"Brother Yi, since you have calculated that Dong Zhuo will die at the hands of a woman? Then can you calculate the situation and direction of the court after Dong Zhuo's death? I heard that Dong Zhuo's old troops and Lu Bu are at war with each other.
General means a great battle."
At this point, Cao Cao paused, picked up the jug and filled Yi Xiaotian with wine, and then continued to ask:
"This battle? Brother Yi, do you think Lu Bu can win? Or Dong Zhuo's old Xiliang troops? I heard that Lu Bu is brave enough to win the three armies and is known as the 'Flying General'. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo's old troops don't have a chance?"
As usual, Cao Cao went to discuss important matters with the court first...
"Lu Bu? He's just an ordinary man!" When Lu Bu was mentioned, Yi Xiaotian showed disdain and waved his hands repeatedly. "A brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that Lu Bu doesn't have it. To deal with a brave and foolhardy guy, a little trick is enough to make him panic.
He ran away like a bereaved dog..."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian raised his head and looked to the north through the window. "I'm afraid that soon, our emperor will be in the hands of the Xiliang warlord! These are a bunch of rough people. By then, the little emperor will be able to
You have to go through hard times!"
Well…
Cao Cao was slightly startled, Yi Xiaotian's idea was completely different from his!
News came from the front line that Dong Zhuo's old troops Li Jue and Guo Si had joined forces with the remnants of Xiliang to launch a general attack on Chang'an. Logically speaking... with Lu Bu's courage, Guo Si should be able to defeat Li Jue.
Could it be that this time? Yi Xiaotian is making a mistake in his calculation?
"Don't you believe it?"
Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Yi Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao just smiled and said nothing.
"Then? Make another bet?" Yi Xiaotian suggested... "Bet on whether Lu Bu will lose!"
Upon hearing about the bet, Cao Cao immediately became interested. The sky cleared up and the rain stopped. Cao Cao felt that he was doing well again...
"Brother Yi? What kind of gambling method?"
"If Lu Bu wins, I won't charge you for drinks as usual!"
Yi Xiaotian sighed, "If Lu Bu loses, hehe, then I have a business here and I want to do it, but I lack some capital, so I hope my brother can help me with my own pocket!"
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold it with Yi Xiaotian. "Deal... I can't wait to do business with Brother Yi! Hahaha..."
Another burst of laughter!
A new bet has been made.
…
"Brother Yi..." After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao started talking more. "As you expected, Cao Cao took over Yanzhou. But he was defeated in the first battle with the Yellow Turban bandits. I was thinking
The Yellow Turban thieves won’t be able to capture Yanzhou, right?”
Cao Cao deliberately showed a worried look...
"Brother Yi, my business is all in Yanzhou... If it is captured by the Yellow Turban bandits, I'm afraid I will be completely destitute!"
"Yellow turban thieves attack Yanzhou? Attack that fucking dog's stinky fart!" Yi Xiaotian's words also seemed to be a bit unrestrained due to his drunkenness. "What are the yellow turban thieves called? Moth thieves...meaning moths flutter.
Fire, we’ll finish playing it sooner or later.”
At this point, Yi Xiaotian raised the wine bowl and touched it with Cao Cao.
"Brother Yi, you can be more at ease. A group of peasants are thieves. It's okay to pick up a hoe and start a fight, but how about setting up a ladder to attack the city? What the hell do they know?"
Phew...Yi Xiaotian's words actually gave Cao Cao some relief!
Think about it, the Yellow Turbans are a group of peasants who are good at field combat. How can they be good at attacking fortresses? As long as the city wall is still there, they can't attack the main city of Yanzhou!
But even so... a group of mighty yellow scarf thieves were plundering everywhere in Yanzhou, running around like headless flies. It was not a problem. How could Cao Cao calm down and govern Yanzhou?
"Brother Yi..."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao stood up and took the initiative to fill up the wine for Yi Xiaotian. "The moth thieves are plundering everywhere in Yanzhou. We merchants are having a hard time. Tell me? Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, is sure that we can pacify this group."
Moth thief?"
"Whether you are sure or not depends on the method..."
Yi Xiaotian stretched out his index finger and pointed at his head. "Brother Hide, I just told you that the head is a good thing! Then let me ask you? Cao Cao was beaten by a moth thief and was beaten to death? What's the reason?
do you know?"
Uh...reason!
Cao Cao was stunned.
If he knew the reason, why would he still need to go so far to ask Yi Xiaotian?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
