"Unfilial grandson Cao Chao see Emperor Taizu Wu, later generations of grandson unfilial piety, failed to revive my Great Wei, and died at the hands of traitors. ”

Cao Chao knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed three times. His respect made Cao Cao a little ashamed, but the chaos planted by his ancestors made his descendants suffer, this kind of feeling is really indescribable.

At the beginning, he was so confused that he had to force Sima Yi to go out, he was willing to be a fool at home, so he was left to him. The fierce generals under his hands are like clouds, the strategists are like rain, and there is nothing less than one Sima Yi. Cao Pi and Cao Rong are also yes, it's not good to reuse anyone, you have to use a hawk-eyed wolf drum guy. and Cao Shuang, the junior who did not succeed, the change of Gao Pingling was the turning point of everything.

Cao Cao shook his head and stopped his thoughts, thinking like this, I am afraid that there will be no end. The usurpation of power cannot be accomplished overnight, and if it is really calculated, everyone is at fault.

"What about Zihuan? Didn't he send you? What about the others? And Chengji, where is he? Didn't you take him in the letter?"

Cao Chao raised his head and replied, "Taizu, the ancestor is afraid of your majesty and left first. Chengji has indeed been attached to me, but he is ashamed and does not dare to meet Taizu. ”

"Hmph, it's all good. You get up first, the things of the world can't be blamed on you, if you really count it, the source is still on me. Do you know how to ride a horse?"

Cao Chao said as he got up: "I know some, but I'm not too skilled." ”

"It's okay, this battle is over, it's time to withdraw the troops, get on the horse, let's go back and talk again. ”

Come like waves, go like tides. Wei Jun fully demonstrated his excellent qualities, and Sima Yi was a little envious. He didn't have such an army under his hands, or he didn't have an army of his own, all the defenders in the city came from Chang'an, and even the clothing and armor were the same as the Han army, except for a red ribbon tied around his left arm.

The battle was over, Cao Cao won, but he didn't win much, Sima Yi lost, lost the entire city wall, and nearly eighty percent of the material reserves. Maybe there are many other things, things that can't be seen, things that can't be touched.

The people of the prefecture showed excellent execution skills, and the fire was quickly brought under control. The ruined walls that had been demolished had been burned to the ground. The soldiers were all disgraced, and Sima Yi and Master Sima were not much better.

Guan Zhong rushed over angrily, his face pale. grabbed Sima Yi by the collar and lifted him up.

"Sima Yi, I'm telling you seriously now, here, it's up to you to fight or kill, but don't make trouble for the Duhu Mansion!"

Seeing that his father was restrained, Sima Shi punched Guan Zhong in the back of the heart. The fist did not fall on Guan Zhong's body, but on Lu Bu's hand. Grab Sima Shi's fist and twist it. Sima Shi was in pain and had to turn his back.

Sima Yi hurriedly shouted: "General Lu's subordinates are merciful, I don't know the general's current situation, don't blame!"

Only then did Lu Bu let go of Sima Shi and said, "Son, you can't fight, go back and practice more!"

Guan Zhong also put Sima Yi on the ground and let go of his hands, which were a little out of control due to anger. Sima Yi straightened his clothes and wiped it on his face again, and his face, which was originally blackened by smoke, was wiped by him, and it took a lot of flowers.

"Guan Xiang, I am also helpless, Cao Cao's army is pressing, I am not an opponent, but I can't sit back and wait to protect my father and son If it falls into the hands of Cao Cao, I am afraid that it is better to go to hell. You are old and respectable, forgive me!"

"I don't care, but I can't do without explanations. Cao Cao's willingness to withdraw from the army also has a price, and I have promised Cao Cao that I will personally agree with Liu Bang to withdraw all the aid given to you. Sima Yi, you should prepare early. ”

"This, how can this be?" Sima Shi instinctively brought out the thoughts in his head.

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "Master, if you manage each other right, everything has a price, and it is not easy to survive this time." Go see your mother, I don't know if I'm scared."

Hearing his father mention his mother, Sima Shi hurried to the city again, not even having time to say goodbye.

Sima Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Shi'er is worried about his mother, and he has a courtesy, and he hopes that the minister and the general will not be blamed." ”

Lu Bu spread his hands indifferently, he was most annoyed by these civil servants and strategists, and he liked to detour around the bend in everything. is also poor and exquisite, and a bow can draw a lot of ways, and it is plain to find guilt for people.

Guan Zhong didn't have a rough brain like Lu Bu, he showed a meaningful smile, and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, I recently joined forces with Sun Quan to do zero business, do you want to get involved?"

"Oh, what kind of business is Guan Xiang doing?" Sima Yi was interested.

"It's nothing more than selling some firewood, rice, oil and salt, to make some money, now Sun Quan and I each have fifty percent of the shares, if you want, Sun Quan and I can each give you one percent." ”

"Guan Xiang did Sun Quan's master?"

Guan Zhong smiled and said, "If I dare to come out, it means that I have done this lord." Do you want to participate? Although the profit of 20% is not much, it is enough to raise a city. ”

Sima Yi was puzzled: "I heard that Guan Xiang and Han Gaozu are in-laws, why do you want to help me?"

"The in-laws belong to the in-laws, and the buying and selling is the buying and selling. I see that your Sima clan has the capital to sit down, so I naturally want to participate. ”

"So what does the prime minister hope to earn?"

"In the future, you can rest assured that I will sell all the materials in your city at the normal market price and will not make a profit. ”

"Armament can't, the rest is fine, the current business is divided into forty percent for me, and I will be in charge. ”

Guan Zhong smiled happily and said, "Deal." ”

What is the nature of this world? Different people probably have different answers. Some are simple, some are complex. In Guan Zhong's eyes, the simple cannot be simpler. The essence of the world is nothing more than a transaction, as long as the interests are sufficient, there is nothing that cannot be bought, and of course, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

Sima Yi has always wanted to break away from the control of the Han family, and now is the perfect opportunity. The next three points of the world have passed a long time. Between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, both in strength and accumulation, the gap has gradually widened. The advantages of Wei have begun to appear, and Sima is the de facto helmsman of Wei.

The newly established emperor of Wei is only fourteen years old, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't have Liu Zhao's ability, and the puppet is certain. Sima Zhao has the stigma of killing the king, and if he wants to go further, or take two more steps, he needs to be supported by great meritorious service. Where did this feat come from? Naturally, it was the destruction of the country. Whose country is it to destroy? Who else can there be besides Shu Han and Eastern Wu?

What is the biggest business? Lü Buwei gave the answer hundreds of years ago, there is no bigger business than a merchant country, and nothing can be more profitable. Of course, nothing is more risky than this.

In terms of doing business, although Lu Buwei is famous, compared with Guan Zhong Fan Li, he is still a lot worse. At least what Guan Zhong is doing right now is a hugely profitable and extremely risky business.

is also a cargo country, he will not work as hard as Lu Buwei, and finally put himself in.

Isn't it fragrant to choose a ghost who has the potential to be the emperor's ancestor, pull him in as a partner, and then do some monopoly trading?

Sima Yi naturally has his own ideas, Guan Zhong is a businessman, even if he is the most famous Xiangguo in Qi State, he is still a businessman. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a female Lu who cheats herself, and there is a big difference in thinking between those who are in business and those who are officials.

Perhaps the biggest difference is that the businessman believes in the Pets Agreement and keeps the promises he has made. And the veterans of officialdom will only treat those things as dispensable waste paper.
