Chapter 5 Xuzhou can't fight for the time being
As soon as the aroma of the wine appeared, it instantly melted into the air as the alcohol evaporated, and the tavern was filled with a fresh fragrance.
"What a fragrant wine!"
The sake of this era does not have this aroma at all.
It was the first time that Cao's father and son knew that wine could be so mellow, which completely subverted their perception of wine.
However, before the wine could be drunk, they were already intoxicated.
The first to react was Cao Ang, who stood up, snatched the wine bottle from Chen Yang's hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said intoxicatedly: "What kind of wine is this?" It was so fragrant, and it was completely different from the wine I knew. ”
He poured himself a glass and savored it urgently.
The aroma of wine and the aroma of osmanthus nectar blend together perfectly, and it is still a little spicy at the beginning, and when the taste buds are familiar with this feeling, the taste is excellent.
Cao Ang drank it in one gulp and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant......"
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a jade liquid, I've never drunk such a good wine."
He had forgotten that he had just said that Chen Yang did not have good wine.
"Is it really that good?"
Cao Cao was also surprised, and hurriedly poured himself a glass, and when he took a sip, he also let out an exclamation!
With Cao Cao's status now, the tribute wine in the palace can often be drunk.
However, compared with Chen Yang's wine, the difference between cloud and mud is really a jade liquid.
Chen Yang couldn't imagine that the two of them were still drunkards, so he reminded: "Don't drink so quickly, this kind of wine is very powerful." ”
Cao Cao reluctantly put down his wine glass and exclaimed: "That's right, such a beautiful wine should be tasted carefully, so to speak, one sip is missing." ”
Chen Yang smiled: "I make the wine, as long as the money is in place, you can have as much as you want." ”
"Really?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Cao Ang also looked at Chen Yang in surprise, and it wasn't until Chen Yang nodded that they let go of the drink.
"By the way, shopkeeper Chen, you said that Zhang Xiu would rebel if he pretended to surrender, and this matter can't even be counted as Guo Jia, the first strategist next to the prime minister, I'm curious, how do you know?"
While drinking, Cao Cao took this opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.
"It's all said, there's nothing I don't know about this big event in the world." Chen Yang said.
Cao Cao laughed: "Shopkeeper Chen, since you have great talent, can you give me advice again, and then I will find the prime minister to offer advice, in case it happens, the reward will definitely be indispensable, and we will also have some money to spend." ”
Hearing him say this, Chen Yang also nodded in agreement, this is indeed a good way to make money.
"I can't imagine that Lao Cao, you can still give advice to the prime minister, and your status in the Cao family must not be low, right?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
Cao Cao was looked at by Chen Yang, and suddenly felt a little weak, and laughed dryly: "Actually, I am the cousin of the uncle of General Cao Ren's nephew, the real Cao clan, of course, I can contact the prime minister." ”
"Awesome!"
Chen Yang gave him a thumbs up.
The relationship in the ancient big family is very complicated, and it is not easy to be surnamed Cao after this series of relationships.
Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction and asked him again: "Shopkeeper Chen, this time the prime minister attacked Wancheng, although there were many twists and turns, he finally succeeded. The only pity is that Zhang Xiu escaped and went to Liu Biao, what should I do next? ”
Chen Yang said: "Zhang Xiu is not important to the prime minister, just run away, just like him, he can't set off any storms." ”
"I think, the prime minister's most urgent thing to do at the moment is still Xuzhou, right?"
Speaking of Xuzhou, Cao Cao was immediately angry, but his anger was quickly suppressed by him, and he said coldly: "Back then, Tao Qian connived at his subordinates and killed the prime minister's father, and our Cao family will avenge this revenge." At that time, the prime minister had just attacked Xuzhou, but Lu Bu's three slaves came to attack Yanzhou and occupy Puyang, so we returned in vain. ”
"Today's Xuzhou is a thorn in the prime minister's heart, I'm afraid it won't be long before I have to go out with the prime minister again, this time, we don't know when we can meet."
"That's it?"
Chen Yang heard Cao Cao's words and smiled: "Old Cao, don't worry, Xuzhou can't fight for the time being." ”
"Oh! Why? ”
Cao Cao and Cao Ang both looked at Chen Yang curiously.
Not long after returning from Wancheng, Cao Cao had already asked people to prepare grain and grass to conquer Xuzhou again.
Chen Yang's words made him hesitate again.
Cao Ang said puzzledly: "If you don't fight Xuzhou, how can the prime minister's revenge be avenged?" ”
Chen Yang analyzed for them: "Now Lu Bu is mainly anti-guest, occupies Xuzhou, and drives Liu Bei to Xiaopei, although the two have their own ghosts, but once the prime minister sends troops to attack, he will definitely be resisted by them, and it is very unpleasant." ”
"On the contrary, if you leave Xuzhou alone for the time being, the two of them will definitely be on the same page, saying that one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, isn't it good to watch them fight each other, and then pick up cheap?"
Speaking of this, Chen Yang smiled again: "However, I think Lao Cao, you are worried in vain, there are many strategists under the Prime Minister, and you must have thought of this a long time ago, and you don't need to offer advice." ”
"This ......"
Cao Cao and Cao Ang glanced at each other, very surprised.
The current situation in Xuzhou was broken by Chen Yang in this way, and it can be analyzed so thoroughly.
"According to what you said to shopkeeper Chen, when will Xuzhou get it?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask again.
"It's not in a hurry now, I said before that Yuan Shu will be the emperor, and it's not too late to map Xuzhou at that time."
Saying that, Chen Yang remembered this history, and he said: "The so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, Lao Cao, you will go back and tell the prime minister that the most important thing at present is to prepare food, the more the better, and it will definitely be a great achievement." ”
This made Cao Cao confused and asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Yang said mysteriously: "I watched the stars last night, and this year there will be a spring drought, and the crop harvest will be greatly reduced." You say you want to fight, but you don't have anything to eat, how can you fight? ”
"Shopkeeper Chen, do you still know how to read the stars?" Cao Cao said in surprise.
"Of course, there is nothing I don't understand, Lao Cao, go back and prepare, and soon you will come to thank me." Chen Yang said, he also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned slightly.
He was thinking, can he believe Chen Yang's words?
"Father, it's just spring now, and I don't know if there will be a spring drought, and I'm not in a hurry to make a plan."
Cao Ang reminded: "Moreover, it is impossible for Yuan Shu to be the emperor, unless Yuan Shu wants to kill himself." ”
"If there is a real drought, the price of food will skyrocket, and then it will be too late, and if you don't believe it, just say nothing." Chen Yang spread his hands casually.
The reward for the offer is so far away that it sounds great, but it's too hard to think about it.
Chen Yang has no ambitions, and only thinks about how to sell these wines in order to make a lot of money.
Cao Ang shook his head and said, "It's just your conjecture, I don't believe it, and it can't happen." ”
At this time, Cao Cao thought seriously for a long time, stood up and said to Chen Yang: "The shopkeeper's words made me think a lot, if there is really a spring drought, it will be a great achievement, I have to go back and tell the prime minister quickly, and leave here." ”
With that, Cao Cao hurriedly left the tavern.
Cao Ang hurriedly followed, but as soon as he walked to the door, he turned back sharply: "Shopkeeper Chen, this bottle of wine is mine." ”
This little Cao, pick it up and run, faster than a rabbit.
"Damn, that's my wine, you haven't paid yet!"
Chen Yang shouted, but he didn't chase him out, and said with a smile: "It's all drunkards." ”
