Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

In the case of Xuzhou, Chen Yang thought it was impossible to fight. Cao Cao listened to his words and directly vetoed all previous decisions.

Guo Jia had already admired Chen Yang's business ability and his mind for making some small inventions, knowing that he was not as good as him.

But Guo Jia thinks he is no worse than anyone else in terms of making suggestions, handling internal affairs, and analyzing the situation.

Hearing Guo Jia ask this question, Chen Yang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I said, Lao Guo, this is something only the prime minister would consider. What does it have to do with you?"

"Should Xuzhou fight? The prime minister's counselors must know it well, and there is no need for Lao Cao to offer advice, right?"

Guo Jia remembered that he couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only smile and said, "I'm just curious, and I want to hear what you said, Shopkeeper Chen."

Chen Yang thought for a while, without doubting anything else, and said: "Last time I told Lao Cao that Lu Bu and Liu Bei are both in Xuzhou, and they will fight sooner or later. Letting them kill each other is the easiest way. If If the prime minister sends troops to attack, the two of them must resist the prime minister together, so Xuzhou can only take it slowly, and can't act too hastily."

"Moreover, Yuan Shu is also coveting Xuzhou. Some time ago, Lu Bu almost married his daughter to Yuan Shu's son. This is also Yuan Shu's trick to plot Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou must be in the prime minister's pocket, but there is no need to worry now. The counselors around the prime minister must have thought of this, so they haven't sent troops to Xuzhou yet."

As Boss Cao's chief counselor, Guo Jia heard Chen Yang's words and felt that they made sense.

However, Guo Jia asked again: "Shopkeeper Chen, when do you think you can take Xuzhou?"

Chen Yang said: "Old Cao, do you still remember that I told you that Yuan Shu will become the emperor? Right after becoming the emperor, Xuzhou will be obtained!"

Will Yuan Shu become emperor?

This is not the first time Guo Jia has heard of it. Cao Ang told him about it half a month ago.

"I said shopkeeper Chen, you must be wrong this time, how could Yuan Shu become emperor? Unless he is a fool!" Guo Jia shook his head and said.

Although the world is in chaos today, the Liu clan's Han Dynasty is still orthodox. Once proclaimed emperor, no matter who he is, he will become the enemy of the princes of the world like stabbing a hornet's nest.

Even if Cao Cao hijacked the current emperor, he would not dare to proclaim himself emperor rashly, because the power of the Han Dynasty had not been completely cut off, and no one wanted to be the first real rebel.

It was the third time Cao Cao heard Chen Yang mention this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Master Chen, why are you so sure that Yuan Shu will become emperor?"

Chen Yang said unhurriedly: "First of all, the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, as a famous family, has a great family and career, has many famous generals and ministers under him, and this person is extremely ambitious. It is not a day and a half before he wants to be emperor. Secondly, He was the one who got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and he thought it was his destiny, and seeing the decline of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to replace it."

Cao Cao and the others knew about passing on the jade seal of the country, and they were not surprised.

After Cao Cao listened to this analysis, he was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Even so, I still think it's impossible, Yuan Shu won't kill himself."

Guo Jia shook his head stubbornly and said: "The Son of Heaven is in Xudu. Although the Han Dynasty has fallen, it still exists. To call himself emperor is to rebel. At that time, just like conquering Dong Zhuo, the princes of the world will not let him go!"

"The world's major events are all under my control. If I say Yuan Shu will rebel, he will definitely."

Chen Yang said confidently: "Besides, Lao Guo, do you think the world today can still be the same as it was back then? Even if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, there will be no more princes from eighteen towns gathered together."

This sentence made Guo Jia slightly surprised.

The princes of the world have different hearts, and they will never return to the time when they conquered Dong Zhuo.

Even if Dong Zhuo was conquered, they had their own ghosts and refused to use all their strength.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I really don't agree with what you said. If you do this, it will only delay the prime minister's attack on Xuzhou."

Guo Jia still shook his head in disbelief, and said, "These are just your guesses, they are groundless, and I don't know if it will happen."

"Why, old Guo, don't you believe it?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I don't believe it!"

From Guo Jia's point of view, Chen Yang's analysis of Yuan Shu also had a lot of speculation.

Cao Cao looked at them quietly and did not speak. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to really judge Chen Yang's level.

After all, after knowing Chen Yang for so long, many things were just talked about in the tavern.

In the last Wancheng battle, although Chen Yang guessed it right, Cao Cao still had his own considerations.

"It seems, Lao Guo, you are very confident in your deduction. Since this is the case, why don't we make a bet? Bet on whether Yuan Shu will become emperor."

"What are you gambling?"

"If I lose, I will give you the technology of bartending and coarse salt purification unconditionally."

Chen Yang said: "Old Guo, if you lose... the only place I live in Xudu is this tavern, which is too simple. I think you are well-dressed and not poor, so you can give me a mansion." gone."

"This one……"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Both the bartending technology and the salt technology are of epoch-making significance, and Guo Jia naturally wants it.

However, seeing that Cao Cao treated Chen Yang so well, Guo Jia didn't dare to bet with him, for fear of making Cao Cao unhappy.

"Since Lao Guo has confidence in himself, he is not afraid to take a gamble." Cao Cao laughed.

Hearing Boss Cao agreed, Guo Jia slapped the table and said, "Okay! Boss Chen, I'll bet with you."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Old Guo, just prepare the mansion for me, I will never lose, haha..."

Seeing that Chen Yang seemed overconfident, Cao Cao sighed, thinking that the shopkeeper Chen's words today were a little loud, and he might be drunk.

What will happen in the future is anyone's guess.

Maybe shopkeeper Chen can only do business and help him make money. For internal affairs, he has to rely on Guo Jia.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Cao Cao said again: "Shopkeeper Chen, I should go back too. Can you let me bring some of your wine back? Only in this way can I help you to spread the reputation of wine."

Chen Yang thought to himself, if he is reluctant to invest, how can there be any rewards?

"Old Cao, wait a moment. This time, there is no charge for the wine. Take it home and convince the Prime Minister as soon as possible. The salt mine can be obtained later, but the wine must be sold as soon as possible. Only when you have money can you drive up the price of food."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he quickly ran into the back kitchen, and then brought out two large jars of wine.

As soon as Guo Jia saw the fine wine, his eyes lit up, he immediately picked up a jar, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, I'm waiting for your wine making method."

Chen Yang also smiled and said, "Old Guo, I am also waiting for you to send me to the mansion."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Guo Jia had already forgotten the dissatisfaction with Chen Yang at the beginning. Although the bet was a bit of anger, it also narrowed the distance between him and Chen Yang.

Afterwards, Cao Cao and the others left the tavern, and Dian Wei followed.

Finally seeing them off, Chen Yang, who was a little drunk, shook his head, trying to sober up as much as possible.

"The first step of selling wine is completed, and the next step is to see if Lao Cao can do anything."

Chen Yang was about to close the door of the tavern.

"I want to buy wine!"

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from outside the door, and the speaker was a woman.

Chen Yang's action of closing the door also paused for a moment, and then he said in surprise: "Why is it you!"

"why you!"

At the same time, the woman who bought the wine also exclaimed.

Although Chen Yang was a little drunk, he could still recognize it. Wasn't this the girl who almost knocked over him half a month ago?

Enemy road is narrow!

"I want to buy wine!" the woman said again.

Between her brows, there was a touch of sadness, as if she wanted to sell wine to relieve her sorrow.

boom!

However, just as she finished speaking, there was a sound of closing the door.

Chen Yang, who was drunk, was completely confused, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he directly shut her out.

"you……"

The woman was furious, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, she looked back at Lao Cao and the others who hadn't gone far, and fell into deep thought.

It's been a while since I came to Xudu. Although the woman doesn't know Cao Cao, she has seen Guo Jia who is next to Lao Cao once, and she knows who it is.

Being able to drink with Guo Jia and the others, the woman felt that Chen Yang's identity was not simple.

Thinking of this, the melancholy in the woman's brows slowly melted away.

"Or, he can help me!"
