"Brother Hide, stop standing here, let's go downstairs and drink!"
After talking about "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and Zhang Zhongjing, Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to go downstairs for a drink...
"Brother Yi, the beauty is still in the woodshed!" Cao Cao blinked as a reminder...
He was thinking, has the beauty Lu Lingqi, whom Brother Yi longs for, captured here? But he doesn't care, and is still thinking about drinking! Thinking about it...it was just a polite word, and Brother Yi was most likely on fire in his heart!
"Beauty? Chai Fang?" Yi Xiaotian paused and then smiled slightly. "Brother Hiding, didn't you say that she has a strong temper? I just trapped her for a day to kill her temper."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment, "Besides, hiding something from a brother is like siblings, and beauty is like clothes. If the clothes are gone, you can change them again. It would be a heinous sin not to let the 'siblings' drink their fill!"
"Ha ha…"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, as if he was particularly excited because he heard that he was regarded as a sibling by Yi Xiaotian.
But then he thought about it and asked quickly, "Brother Yi, your wine shop is now overcrowded. I'm afraid there won't be any extra tables."
"What are you afraid of!"
Yi Xiaotian raised his hand happily. "There's no place for drinking. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the ground under the locust tree outside the wine shop and drink to your heart's content?"
What Yi Xiaotian said was very grand.
call…
Cao Cao enjoyed himself and drank fine wine under the old locust tree, just what he wanted!
seem…
Recalling that a few months ago, it was under this old locust tree that Yi Xiaotian woke up the man in his dream with a word when faced with the question of whether to surrender 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves. This was the foundation for Cao Cao's start.
The past events were vivid in his mind, and Cao Cao's heart palpitated.
The two of them talked and walked downstairs together...
Yi Xiaotian gave the order, and not long after, under the big locust tree, a wine shop clerk had brought tables and wine bowls.
Two large altars of ancient well tribute wine were placed on the table, and Cao Ren and Dian Wei gathered around...
Dian Wei directly filled four large bowls of wine, especially Yi Xiaotian's bowl. He poured it full and was full of wine.
The four of them looked at each other, smiled, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"I forgot to introduce you to Brother Yi." After a bowl of wine, while pouring the wine, Cao Cao pointed at Dian Wei and introduced him. "This is my confidant, his name is Awei."
"Awei has met the shopkeeper En...Yi...Yi!" Dianwei bowed his hands and bowed respectfully.
He almost blurted out his benefactor, but finally remembered Cao Cao's instructions and concealed his identity.
"Brother Wei has a big body and a round waist, and his arms are as thick as my thighs. He looks like a powerful character. He can probably fight ten of them! Brother Wei has a good eye for knowing people. I admire him, I admire him!"
Yi Xiaotian smiled and praised...
At this point, he did not forget to put his mouth in front of Cao Cao and lowered his voice to remind him.
"Brother Hi, you have to hide this strong man well! After hearing that Cao Cao issued a request for talents, he was eager to see the civil servants and generals. If he knew that Brother Hi had such a strong man with a strong back and a strong back, he would definitely ask you for help.
If you ask for it, you will have to part with me when the time comes..."
Well…
Cao Cao was slightly stunned. It seemed that Brother Yi could guess his thoughts accurately.
He nodded immediately. "Brother Yi said that he was negligent, negligent..."
As he said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud...
It does sound a bit like a guilty conscience.
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to ask, "Brother Hide? You seem very happy today? You are smiling so heartily, but you have made a lot of money in your recent business, right?"
"Haha, business is good!"
Cao Cao had a short beard and his words had profound meaning.
"Thanks to Brother Yi, I gave Cao Cao the news that locusts can be cooked. The morale of Cao's army was restored to its original state. In addition, Cao Cao used Brother Yi's strategy of 'taking advantage of the enemy' to recover Puyang City in one fell swoop. I, Ah Man, offered my advice.
With meritorious service, not only has the business in Puyang City been saved, but also Cao Cao has promised to give me the greatest support for my future business in Yanzhou. Come to think of it, this business in the future will definitely be smooth sailing and the wealth will be rolling in!"
"Ha ha…"
Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud, and seemed to be very happy because of the smooth business of Hidden Brother!
After all, Brother Hidden is one of the few drinking buddies, friends, and close friends he has in this troubled world.
What's even more valuable is that Brother Zhi seems to be a fat sheep that will never be raped dry. He has a steady stream of wool that can be squeezed. It feels very happy to catch a sheep and steal its wool!
"Brother Yi, I would like to first wish you great prosperity and good business throughout the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty!"
"Borrowing Brother Yi's good words! Haha!"
Cao Cao drank a full bowl and laughed heartily.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said meaningfully. "However, if it is true as Brother Yi said, it will be very difficult to expand this business to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao will have to bear the brunt of these ten states."
Defeat all three states!"
"What's so difficult about this?"
Unexpectedly, facing Cao Cao's lack of confidence, Yi Xiaotian directly raised his hand and said very domineeringly. "Just beat them one by one."
When the topic was introduced, Cao Cao's expression became more serious.
"Brother Yi, is this easier said than done? There are two problems that bear the brunt of it. These two problems have hindered the development of my business at every turn!"
"Two questions?" Yi Xiaotian's expression is still very relaxed, as if nothing in the world can be difficult for him... "Since it is a problem that hinders my brother's business, why don't we talk about it?"
"First, where will Lu Bu flee after Puyang's defeat? If he comes back, won't my business be in danger again?"
Cao Cao deliberately looked worried.
"Second, over in Xuzhou City, Cao Cao has followed Brother Yi's strategy to appease the people for so long. Now that the people's hearts are stable, Tao Qian has rebelled against his relatives, and more than half of the territory has fallen into Cao Cao's hands. Will Cao Cao suddenly
The war is over in Xuzhou? Can my business in Xuzhou also be put on the agenda?"
Although they were all covered up through business, it was still difficult to hide Cao Cao's anxiety.
This is his biggest concern right now...
If Lu Bu can surprise Yanzhou once, he can surprise Yanzhou a second time. Cao Cao does not dare to be careless, let alone take risks, so Lu Bu's movements are a point that he cares about.
And Xuzhou, big granary, big warehouse...
It is a piece of fat that Cao Cao has always been thinking about. Even if the situation in Yanzhou becomes more critical, Cao Cao will ask in detail about the situation in Xuzhou every day.
How far has Xia Houyuan and Xi Zhicai's strategy of attacking the enemy's heart and mind progressed? What is the status of the people's support? What is the attitude of the descendants of the powerful families in Xuzhou and their generals? These developments often haunt Cao Cao's mind.
seem…
Now that the situation in Yanzhou is stable, the troops are well-prepared, and taking advantage of the morale gained from the victory at Puyang, it may not be a good strategy to attack Xuzhou in one go.
Of course, Cao Cao had this idea in his mind, but he needed Yi Xiaotian's judgment even more. After all, at the strategic level, Yi Xiaotian had always made perfect plans.
silence…
Cao Cao's question was raised, and there was a long silence under the big locust tree.
Yi Xiaotian is thinking...
Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Dian Wei all tacitly shut their mouths and gave him time and space to think carefully.
One breath, two breaths, ten breaths...
Yi Xiaotian finally figured out the reason. He waved his hand and said. "Brother Hao, the questions you raised seem to be two questions, but they are actually one question! Lu Bu will definitely flee to Xuzhou, and the new master of Xuzhou,
I will definitely accept him!”
Huh?
New owner?
Cao Cao was stunned. Wasn't the leader of Xuzhou always Tao Qian?
Over the years, Tao Qian's governance of Xuzhou has been deeply rooted. If Cao Cao wanted to conquer it, he had to first appease people's hearts. How could a new master appear for no reason?
In other words, besides Cao Cao, who can? Who dares to be the new master of Xuzhou?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao asked urgently.
"Brother Yi? Is it certain that Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou? In addition, who is the new master of Xuzhou that you proposed?"
