Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

A pot of fish soup was wiped out by them like this, Xun Yu was still a little bit unsatisfied, but he was embarrassed to let Chen Yang do it again.

"Chen shopkeeper, before coming here, the prime minister told me that if the salt mine is real, he can give you all the mine, and he will also give you a team of 3000 people to guard the mine, what do you think? " Cao Cao said suddenly.

"A team of 3000 people, Lao Cao, are you telling the truth? Are you kidding me?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.

He never thought that he could lead an army in ancient times, and Prime Minister Cao was so generous, which made him a little unbelievable.

Chen Yang looked at the environment near the salt mine for a while. The mine is not too high, and the terrain at the foot of the mountain is flat. It can be built into a military camp, and it looks pretty good.

However, Prime Minister Cao not only gave away the mine, but also gave it away to others. Chen Yang still couldn't believe it, and looked at Lao Cao suspiciously.

"of course it's true."

Cao Cao laughed, and said again: "Although the Prime Minister has never met shopkeeper Chen, he already knows that your ability is extraordinary. In fact, doing this is also a way to win over."

Chen Yang asked: "In terms of military pay, how do you calculate it?"

Cao Cao said solemnly: "Of course the prime minister will give it to you. You just need to lead the army and dig the salt mine here."

"If someone dares to attack the salt mine, you can mobilize [-] soldiers at will. You are their general, and they are also the foundation for you to protect the salt mine."

Cao Cao is willing to do this because he still sees the potential in Chen Yang and is willing to invest.

Also, as he said, this is a way to win over.

The salt mine is very important to them, and they also need to rely on Chen Yang's wine to make a lot of money.

Considering these two aspects, Cao Cao felt that it was worthwhile to give Chen Yang 3000 troops to station in the salt mine.

When Guo Jia and Xun Yu saw this scene, they were a little envious that shopkeeper Chen could be so appreciated by the prime minister.

After listening to Lao Cao's words, Chen Yang thought for a while, and said: "Okay, since the prime minister trusts me so much, I want this army, and I promise I won't let you down. But let me explain in advance that I am only responsible for For the safety of the salt mine, if you want me to go on a march or fight, don’t ask me.”

Cao Cao laughed again and said, "Of course not. There are generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun in the war, so you don't need Shopkeeper Chen."

After saying that, Cao Cao turned his head to look at the guards beside him, and said, "Ye Shun!"

As soon as the voice fell, a tall general came over, knelt down and said, "Yes!"

Cao Cao said again: "From now on, you will follow shopkeeper Chen and obey shopkeeper Chen's orders."

"Yes!" Ye Shun nodded.

To be ordered by a general in this way, and there are three thousand soldiers to be transferred at will, Chen Yang felt that it was too unreal as if he was dreaming.

"The ones brought out today are only some of them. After tonight, all the soldiers will be stationed here and obey your orders, Shopkeeper Chen." Cao Cao added.

"Old Cao, you can help me thank Prime Minister Cao." Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you are welcome. Since we choose to cooperate, these are what we should do. One more thing, the wine has spread all over Xudu, and the salt mine has also been obtained, so when will the wine be sold?" ?”

Chen Yang thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow."

Cao Cao said with satisfaction: "Success, I will ask Xiao Cao to help you. With him here, I can sell it for a good price."

After the banquet hosted by the imperial palace and the publicity of Sima's restaurant, no matter in the circle of nobles or the circle of ordinary people, they all know the existence of this kind of wine.

As for how to sell the wine, Cao Cao didn't ask, and he didn't worry about it. He didn't care what shopkeeper Chen did. Anyway, with Cao Ang by his side, those gentry would not lose face to Cao Ang and suffer.

The matter of the salt mine was settled in this way. Ye Shun and other soldiers were temporarily stationed here, and then according to Chen Yang's request, a salt factory was built nearby.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yang was worried about Zhang Chunhua at home, so he proposed to go back to Xudu first.

After entering the Xudu City Gate, Chen Yang separated from Cao Cao and the others.

Cao Cao and the others went back to the Cao Mansion first, and they had been busy in the salt mine all afternoon, and they still had a lot of official business to sort out.

"Report!"

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly came running outside the Cao Mansion.

"Report to the prime minister, urgent military order!"

Immediately after the knight stopped, he got off his horse and knelt down in front of Cao Cao, took out a piece of cloth with words written all over it, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened it and looked carefully, suddenly his face changed drastically, he said in surprise: "Feng Xiao, just got the news that Yuan Shu has assumed the title of Son of Heaven and proclaimed himself Emperor in Shouchun!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia was even more shocked. He didn't care about etiquette, so he snatched the piece of cloth from Cao Cao's hand and read it carefully over and over again.

This is not a fake, Yuan Shu really proclaimed himself emperor.

Let shopkeeper Chen be right again!

In Cao Cao and Guo Jia's heart, it was like a turbulent wave was set off.

How can this be?

Could Chen Yang really be able to predict the future?

"I am completely convinced by shopkeeper Chen that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!" Guo Jia said with a sigh.

Xun Yu at the side was puzzled at first, and then said in surprise: "Prime Minister, before this, shopkeeper Chen has bluntly said that Yuan Shu will become emperor?"

Cao Cao nodded solemnly and said, "That's right! Shopkeeper Chen also said that Zhang Xiu would surrender before rebelling during the Wancheng battle. Now that Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, he is right again."

"Is shopkeeper Chen a god? This can also make him right!"

Xun Yu had completely forgotten his disdain for Chen Yang, and he said in shock: "Chen shopkeeper is definitely an incomparable talent, he can predict things like a god, the prime minister must take it for his own use!"

Guo Jia also nodded and said: "That's right, the Prime Minister has the support of shopkeeper Chen, so why not worry about major events?"

"Unfortunately, I still owe shopkeeper Chen a mansion, I regret it!"

Thinking of the bet with Chen Yang, Guo Jia regretted it. If he had known that shopkeeper Chen was so powerful, why would he bet?

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, you can't regret this bet."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly.

Afterwards, Cao Cao immediately called all the counselors over and gathered in the meeting hall of the Cao Mansion.

It is a big event for Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor, and Cao Cao, as the emperor's prime minister, naturally would not let it go.

After discussing with many counselors, Cao Cao decided to summon the princes of the world to conquer Yuan Shu under the order of the emperor.

But this time, as Chen Yang said before, there were not many real responses.

Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan were fighting fiercely, neither of them responded.

Liu Biao and others in Jingzhou all stood still.

Only Jiangdong Sun Ce is willing to send troops and cooperate with Cao Cao, because the Sun family has a grudge against Yuan Shu.

In addition, Liu Bei, who has always been called the Han clan himself, also responded to Cao Cao's order.

However, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are too few, almost negligible.

This world is no longer completely dominated by big men.

Even so, the banner of the Han Dynasty still had a little appeal, and no one dared to openly oppose the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Yuan Shu became a traitor and is still the common enemy of the princes of the world.

Chen Yang didn't know about Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor.

After returning to the restaurant, Chen Yang immediately went to find Zhang Chunhua. The two got bored for a while, and then he went to Hua Tuo to learn Wuqinxi.

Now Hua Tuo is living in Chen Yang's tavern, for this ancient super genius doctor, Chen Yang wished he could keep him by his side forever.

You must know that in ancient times, there was a shortage of medicines and poor medical conditions, and a random cold could kill someone.

Chen Yang wished for a genius doctor by his side.

Unconsciously, the night passed.

It is impossible for Sima's family to make trouble again, so tonight is very peaceful.
