I have to say that if Yuan Shao was really willing to buy a horse at twenty times, no, even fifteen or even ten times the price, Li Yi would definitely sell it to him. After all, now that prices are soaring, even if a war horse only rises tenfold, it is enough to make Li Yixiao bloom.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Yan no longer buys horses from Li Yi. After all, the price is so high, although his Zhang Yan's money is easy to get, but it can't be spent so endlessly. And after Gongsun Zhan put Liu Yu under house arrest, he quietly got on the line with Zhang Yan, in exchange for Zhang Yan's money and support on the grounds of trading war horses.

Obviously, Gongsun Chan is not as black-hearted as Li Yi, and even in order to win over Zhang Yan, an ally, the price Gongsun Chan wants is only a few percent higher than the market price. In this case, a fool knows who to buy, not to mention that Zhang Yan himself has no friendship with Li Yi.

However, in addition to the war horse, Zhang Yan and Li Yi's other transactions have not stopped, on the one hand, because other transactions are carried out according to the market price, and on the other hand, Zhang Yan does not want to offend Li Yi because of this kind of thing. After all, Yuan Shao in the east has always been eyeing him, and even the peace envoy sent by Zhang Yan on his own initiative was rejected. In this case, if Li Yi is provoked again, Zhang Yan feels that he can only give up the territory of Jizhou and choose to flee.

For Li Yi, although Zhang Yan only interrupted the horse trade, it was enough to give Li Yi an incomparable headache. After all, that's a lot of money. But fortunately, the previous transaction has obtained too many benefits, and now it is slowly sold, but it can also be exchanged for a lot of money, plus the minerals in Jizhou......

In addition, as more and more displaced people flock to the state, tax revenues continue to increase. Li Yi believes that by next year, the tax revenue that the new tax law can bring will be enough to compare with the previous tax revenue.

At the same time, the newly appointed Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, after some negotiations with his subordinates, quickly agreed to Liu Biao's proposal and joined forces with him to deal with Yuan Shu.

There is no way, who let Yuan Shu start to infiltrate Yangzhou through the surrender of the Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang? Today, it has occupied most of Lujiang County. In this case, if Liu Miao does not take action, I am afraid that it will not take long for Yangzhou to change his surname to Yuan.

Liu Shu's addition made Yuan Shu extremely angry, but even if he was furious, Yuan Shu could only stop the offensive against Jiangxia County and began to turn on the defensive in an all-round way. After all, no matter how arrogant he Yuan Shu was, he was not so mad as to face the enemies of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou at the same time.

Moreover, God knows if Dong Zhuo in the west will take advantage of Yuan Shu's war on three sides and jump out to get involved. Moreover, the yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou in the north who are getting louder and louder, who knows if they will feel that the south is more lively and will also run over? You must know that Yuzhou was also the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban in the past, and there were quite a lot of Yellow Turban remnants.

Yes, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Thieves are getting louder and louder. Although Yuan Yi and others led the army to quickly rush back to the place of governance and quickly launched the operation to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, they were still a little slower after all, and the Yellow Turban Army had gained a firm foothold in various places. After all, Yuan Yi and the others took away so many troops, and they had a stalemate with Liu Bei for so long......

Only Cao Cao, Bao Xin and Zhang Miao, because they did not come in, the situation was relatively good, but even so, there were a large number of yellow turban thieves who were causing trouble in the place.

The time is slowly coming to October.

"My lord, General Xiahou has returned victoriously." Chen Gong walked in and said respectfully.

"Are you back? Let Yuan let him rest well, and present the battle report tomorrow. Cao Cao replied in a flat tone when he heard this, and in his tone, he didn't feel any joy at all about Xiahou Chun's victorious return.

However, this is not because Cao Cao dislikes Xiahou Chun, but because there is really nothing to be happy about in this matter, because from last month to now, Cao Cao has won dozens of victories against the Yellow Turban. And what Xiahou Chun went to crusade this time was just a remnant army of hundreds of Yellow Turbans.

Cao Cao's reaction Chen Gong had obviously guessed it a long time ago, so he didn't react, but continued to say respectfully, "Lord, recently, my subordinates have found that the prices in Dongjun have skyrocketed, and some have risen dozens of times...... Chen Gong's tone was a little worried, obviously worried that the soaring prices would cause bad consequences.

"Damn the Yellow Turban Thief!" Hearing this, Cao Cao snorted coldly, obviously, he blamed the Yellow Turban thief for the reason for the soaring prices. But strictly speaking, it is not wrong, after all, when war breaks out, prices will definitely skyrocket.

In fact, except for Yanzhou, prices in Jizhou and Yuzhou are rising at an extremely terrifying rate, but in this regard, whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they don't seem to care much. Because like Cao Cao, they blamed the rise in prices on the war, and they didn't think that it was because of the new money.

But it's no wonder, after all, they have only heard about Dong Zhuo's new money, so where have they really seen those new money? And even if a few officials saw those broken new money, I am afraid they would not care too much, after all, this kind of thing has not happened before, and what they see is only a few new money mixed with old money and even various styles of coins.

This is actually one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo's new money will last so long in history, because in the era of the copper standard, this situation is really difficult to detect quickly.

"Pass my order, let Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zixiao and others have a hard time these days, and drive those damn Yellow Turban thieves out of Dongjun as soon as possible!" Cao Cao said coldly.

"In addition, send people to Jibei and Chenliu to strengthen ties with Zhang Fujun and Bao Guoxiang." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said again.

"No." Chen Gong replied respectfully, and then slowly left.

"Alas, it's really a wave of unsettled waves, and if it goes on like this, the world of the Han Dynasty will ......" Cao Cao sighed a little helplessly, his eyes full of deep sorrow.

At the same time, Chang'an.

"Lord, although there is a truce on the Jizhou side now, with Yuan Shao's ambition, it will definitely be a war again in a short time. At this time, the yellow scarves in Yanzhou have risen again, and the counties are already too busy to take care of themselves. Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Miao of Yangzhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou were restrained and could only be passively defended. So the subordinates think that now is the best opportunity to crusade against Yizhou! Li Ru said respectfully.

"Yizhou?" Dong Zhuo groaned when he heard this.

"Yes, in the past, Gaozu finally won the world according to Guanzhong, and earlier, the Qin State also won Yizhou first, and then seized the world...... Li Ru said respectfully.
