Chapter 17: Mouthwash

Xiangyang, the main hall of the meeting.

Liu Biao sat on the head, his expression was a little frowning, and a faint sorrow flashed in his eyes.

Under him, he was civil and military, lined up on both sides, Liu Bei leaned close to his son Liu Qi, but he kept bowing his head and was silent, very low-key.

Liu Biao looked around at the Chinese martial arts in the hall and sighed: "According to the scout, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan and Manzhong to lead an army of 20,000 to garrison Wancheng, and it is very likely that they will send troops to attack my Jingzhou, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

A person flashed out of the hall, and regarded it as Jingzhou Kuaiyue: "The Lord is safe, Cao Thief will never go south to Jingzhou within two years." ”

"Oh? How? Liu Biao asked eagerly.

Kuai Yue arched his hand: "Cao Cao is like a god with soldiers, this time he is wrestling with Yuan Shao, although he has obvious advantages, but Yuan Shao is still not destroyed, how can he go south to Jingzhou at this critical juncture?" Is this not the danger of death from the enemy? ”

Liu Biao nodded as if he had realized something, but he still had a trace of worry: "Alien, then why do you say Cao Thief's move?" Since it was difficult to pacify Yuan Shao for a while, why did he divide his troops and garrison Wancheng at this juncture? ”

Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Bei lightly, without a trace of words.

Of course Liu Bei knows why, instead of asking you to point it out, it's better to stand up yourself!

"Brother Huang! Cao thief ordered people to lead troops to garrison Wancheng because of the preparation. Liu Bei flashed out and said with a bow.

Liu Biao immediately woke up to the fact that Liu Bei made such a big move in Xuzhou, and ruined his good deeds in Jizhou again and again, how could Cao Cao not hate such a person, and now that Liu Bei has come to Jingzhou, how can this escape Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao will naturally lead troops to garrison, and after Cao Cao pacifies the northern Xinjiang, it is very likely that he will go south to Jingzhou to take revenge.

According to this line of thought, Liu Bei at this time is already a hot potato, and this hidden danger may lead to the fall of Jingzhou, which is even worse than the hidden danger of Cai Mao.

Liu Biao was puzzled in his heart! What should I do!?

In the main hall, there was no speech for a long time, and the air seemed to be frozen. I can't help but feel a little suffocating.

Of course, Liu Bei saw Liu Biao's hesitation, but at this time, Liu Bei still needed to be attached to Liu Biao, and he couldn't really break away from Liu Biao because of an impulse, because then he would only have a dead end.

"Sir! Why didn't Cao Cao go south to Jingzhou two years later? In my opinion. Cao Cao will definitely be able to pacify Yuan Shao within a year, and then take the victorious army to swallow Jingxiang, wouldn't it be better!? ”

Kuai Yue smiled lightly: "Lord! That Cao Cao will definitely be able to pacify Yuan Shao within half a year, and then take half a year to pacify Wuhuan, and then recuperate for a year. Fang will go south to Jingzhou. ”

"Then Cao Cao has always used soldiers like a god, don't you know the truth of the speed of soldiers?" Liu Biao asked again.

Kuai Yue said again: "It is precisely because Cao Cao uses troops like a god that he will not be in a hurry to go south." First, the battle of Cao Yuan lasted too long, and the soldiers and generals were war-weary; Second, at this time, the lord had already realized that Cao Cao would go south to Jingzhou, and he would inevitably take precautions. Therefore, the more he thought that Cao Cao would not go south in two years. ”

All the generals in the hall were convinced, and Liu Bei on the side was even more surprised.

At this time, Liu Bei wanted to advise Liu Biao to send regular troops to feint to attack Wancheng, and then raid Xuchang with a surprise detour, so that Cao Biao would undoubtedly be defeated, and Liu Biao would be able to become the prince of Megatron at that time.

But Liu Bei couldn't do this, because he understood Liu Biao's character, and according to the trajectory of history, Liu Biao only wanted to protect himself, and would never take the initiative to violate others; And more importantly, once he admonished Liu Biao to send troops. Then Cai Mao will inevitably make a hindrance from it and make all the slander, so that he will not lose his wife and lose his soldiers!

But after all, someone said it!

Liu Qi, the son on the side, stood up and said, "Father! Since Cao Cao was fighting Yuan Shao at this time. Why don't you surprise the army to raid Cao Cao's rear, so that he can't care about each other, so that Cao Thief will be defeated, and my father can take this opportunity to become bigger, go straight to Xuchang to save the Son of Heaven, and help me in the Han world"

Liu Bei raised his head slightly. Glancing at Liu Biao, there was obviously a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Enough is enough!!" Liu Biao was furious and immediately roared: "Don't let me hear similar words in the future." ”

Liu Qi frowned: "But, father"

"Uh-huh!!?" Liu Biao was furious, and his eyes were like a sharp sword towards his son Liu Qi.

Liu Qi understood, had no choice but to slam to the ground, and withdrew from the hall upside down.

Liu Bei sighed secretly, but he admired the courage of his son Liu Qi, but he really didn't know the current affairs, and he didn't understand his father's temper? Or do you know you can't do it?

The main hall is finished.

Liu Bei walked slowly on the street, and when Kuai Yue passed by, Liu Bei hurriedly followed Kuai Yue.

"Mr. Kuai, please stay." Liu Bei beckoned.

Kuai Yue turned his head: "What's the matter with Uncle Liuhuang?" ”

Liu Bei arched his hand: "Thank you, sir." ”

The corners of Kuai Yue's mouth rose slightly, and he rubbed it: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong, but he is just telling the truth." ”

The two walked side by side, and Liu Bei said indifferently: "Even so, Bei still has to thank Mr. ”

Kuai Yue snorted coldly and waved his hand to stop: "No need! Actually, I'm here to save Jingzhou, not to save you, Uncle Liu Huang. ”

After saying that, Kuai Yue's eyes stared at Liu Bei tightly for a long time, flicked his long sleeves, and ran away.

Liu Bei looked at Kuai Yue in the distance, couldn't help but let out a light laugh, immediately shook his head, and then shook his head to the ground, and then walked towards General Zuo's mansion.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun behind him saw all of this, but they didn't hear the words between the two, for Cai Mao's understanding, Liu Bei wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Kuai Yue, but Kuai Yue didn't give him face at all, and walked away coldly. But Liu Bei looked coy, and he went to the end and pretended to be a gentleman.

"See! Liu Bei is a character. After being so humiliated, he can still be a gentleman with a shy face. Cai Mao stopped, stared at Liu Bei in the distance, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

On the side, Cai Zhong sneered contemptuously: "Big brother! Liu Bei's life in Xiangyang is very low-key, basically always staying in the house, and even all the Jingzhou celebrities who came to congratulate were rejected by him. He wants to gain the trust of his lord! ”

"Liu Da'er is a character, he can bend and stretch." Cai Mao snorted coldly, and changed his words: "However, this Jingzhou is not what he wants!" ”

Cai Zhong grinned and agreed: "That's it!" According to his temperament, wouldn't Jingzhou have to change the sky? ”

"How's Jiang Xia there!?"

"Brother, don't worry! We're all in control. ”

"That's good."

**********

"Sir! You're back. ”

Ah San stepped forward, and Liu Bei hummed.

"Mr. Hua is waiting in the study."

Liu Bei paused, suddenly realized the purpose of Hua Tuo's visit, hurriedly walked towards the study, and beckoned Ah Sandao: "Hurry up and find Mi Zhu for me, there is something urgent." ”

Hearing this, Ah San hurriedly turned around and left.

"Sir!" Liu Bei rushed into the study, hurriedly hugged Hua Tuo, and asked, "But it's made of mouthwash!?" ”

Hua Tuo picked up a pot of pale cyan liquid from the case and presented it to Liu Bei: "Lord! Fortunately, this mouthwash has been made, and this is the recipe and production method. With that, he took out a silk letter from his sleeve.

Liu Bei took the clay pot, opened it, and suddenly a quiet and elegant fragrance came to his nose, the clay pot came to his nose, smelled it, refreshed his mind, how could it be a wonderful word.

At this time, Mi Zhu came to the study and said, "Lord! He smiled faintly at Hua Tuo and said hello to Quan Zuo.

Liu Bei was on the rise, and hurriedly beckoned Mi Zhu to step forward: "Come, come, come, smell Mr. Hua Tuo's newly developed mouthwash." After that, he stretched out a handful of clay pots in front of Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This is used to gargle!?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Zizhong!" I'm going to let you spread it out and sell it to the wives of the powerful people in Jingzhou, how about it? ”

Mi Zhu was stunned at first, but then understood the intention of the lord, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Lord! How much does this pot of mouthwash cost? What are you going to sell? How much profit do we have to wait? ”

Hua Tuo on the side hurriedly spoke: "Zizhong! The main medicinal materials of this mouthwash come from the dense forest outside Xiangyang City, and are mixed with cool materials such as mint and water, and the cost is extremely low. According to the following, this medicine is less than a penny. ”

"One penny !!"

Mi Zhu's eyes widened, looked at Hua Tuo incredulously, and swallowed his saliva.

Less than a penny, this kind of cost in the case of the currency depreciation at that time, can be replaced by no cost, in the eyes of Mi Zhu, who is very business-minded, like this low-cost new industry is simply a million profits.

"My lord! This matter will be handed over to the next, and within ten days, it will definitely be able to make it shine and move its name. Mi Zhu said solemnly.

Sure enough, from the day after the mouthwash was handed over to Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu ordered people to process a batch of mouthwash according to the recipe and production method, and then ordered dozens of people to invite guests to banquets in major wine shops and restaurants in the city every day, and after the meal, they would take out a small pot of mouthwash to rinse their mouths, and deliberately smell whether the breath was fresh.

Then another helper stepped forward and asked, "Brother (sister), what is this thing for?" ”

Then the man explained, "Don't you know that? This is mouthwash, used to freshen the breath after tea and dinner, you don't know, whenever I use it, my wife hahaha! ”

It was in one way or another that it was publicized for more than three days, and the mouthwash became famous in Xiangyang, up to the elites in Jingzhou, down to the common people, and every one must have this brand of mouthwash. This kind of mouthwash has swept the entire Jingxiang at an unimaginable speed, and even Yuzhou, Jiangdong, and Shuzhong have the prestige of mouthwash. (To be continued.) )
