Seeing that the bridge on the dock had been completely completed, Yuan Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the efforts of more than two months have been a good result, the dock has been completed much earlier than expected, and at this moment it has been able to smoothly receive supplies from Xiangyang.

It was also at this time that Yuan Yun met Cai Mao, who had not been seen for a long time, and when Chibi was taken by Cao Cao, his role was not so important, so he was transferred to Yong'an County by Yuan Yun.

Of course, all these actions were nodded by Cao Cao, otherwise such a large fleet would not have obeyed Yuan Yun's dispatch at all.

Seeing Cai Mao this time was much more high-spirited than when he met him in Yecheng before, although Chibi almost didn't engage in any water battles, and then won with Zhou Yu's retreat, but Cai Mao didn't think so, he felt that it was entirely because his warship was powerful enough and his command was strong, which led to the enemy's retreat without a fight.

Cai Mao, who has such thoughts, is naturally arrogant, even in the face of Yuan Yun, a handsome, he still tilts his neck, it seems that for him, this westward crusade against Liu Bei, he should sit in the position of the marshal.

Looking at the endless stream of warships on the dock, Yuan Yun still frowned, and then asked Xiao Liu unhappily, "Does General Cai Mao have a good command of these ships?" Why do I always feel so confused, the big boat and the small boat are not separated, they are all mixed together, so it is very easy to have accidents. ”

Xiao Liu sighed helplessly, and then replied with a fist: "After General Cai Mao came to Yong'an, he almost never left the inner city, as for these warships on the river, they were all handed over to him to take care of, these generals are mostly generals from the north, who used to only command the army by land, when to manage the ships on the waterway, it is natural for these chaos to occur." ”

Yuan Yun's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and then asked, "Where is Cai Mao at the moment?" ”

Xiao Liu replied: "The green building in the city has been reopened, and General Cai Mao is estimated to have been there all along. ”

Yuan Yun heard Xiao Liu's answer, but he didn't rush to ask Cai Mao about it, but wondered: "Qinglou? When did the green building open in Yongan City? ”

Xiao Liu immediately replied: "After General Cao Hong was pacified by us in Yong'an, he sent someone to take care of it as soon as possible, and as soon as these two months passed, the preparations were naturally completed, so it opened a few days ago, but the business was average, our gunpowder army issued a strict order, so the sergeants did not dare to make a mistake, and those rich families in the vicinity would not think about any entertainment at all because of the war, and it was estimated that General Cao Hong would lose money this time." ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, when it comes to doing business, Cao Hong is definitely a genius, he just built a dock in Yong'an, and he immediately smelled the smell of making a fortune, because this place will indeed become a transit city connecting the east and the west in the future, with this premise, Yong'an will inevitably develop into a commercial city in the future.

"You know a fart, I told you to learn to think long-term, you didn't listen to it at all, although Cao Hong will accompany some silver now, but he focuses on seizing the market, and then carving up the advantageous geographical location, let me ask you, did General Cao Hong open the Qinglou near the dock?" Yuan Yun immediately glared at Xiao Liu after asking.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "But as the lord said, Cao Hong's Qinglou is not far from the dock. ”

Yuan Yun looked at Xiao Liu's expression, and could only sigh again, what kind of person is really what life, although a person like Xiao Liu is still smart, but in terms of doing business and making money, he is almost completely a passive existence, if it weren't for the fact that he has gained a lot of benefits from following him in the past few years, it is estimated that he would still be a poor and white boy.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun didn't bother to explain to Xiao Liu, anyway, this bodyguard will follow it himself in the future, and his wealth is indispensable, so he ordered a few entourages to catch the car, and Yuan Yun saw Guo Jia as soon as he wanted to leave.

Guo Jia saw that Yuan Yun was about to get on the car, and immediately followed with a smile, not giving Yuan Yun any chance to stop it at all, and Guo Jia, who was on the frame, was still not idle, and before he sat down, he began to rummage through the wine and food in the secret compartment, and the carriage crackled, but he didn't have any embarrassment at all.

"Is Guo Jiajun too idle in Yong'an County, I always feel that you have nothing to do when I see you every day, I asked Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, and they also said that you are idle all day long, and they don't say that you help take care of government affairs." After Yuan Yun finished speaking impatiently, he had already turned out the liquor, and if he didn't hand the liquor to Guo Jia, it was estimated that the other party would have to dismantle his frame.

Guo Jia took a satisfying sip of the wine, then wiped his mouth and said: "The military division of the Gunpowder Army is so powerful, there is Zhuge Kongming in internal affairs, Pang Shiyuan in external strategy, Xu Ziyuan in intelligence collection and extermination of secret agents, and as for leading the army, there are naturally Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other fierce generals, so there are very few places to use my Guo Jia, so I am naturally idle." ”

Yuan Yun saw that after Guo Jia finished speaking, he began to eat the beans in a big gulp, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, frowned, and asked: "Although Cai Mao came to help, this general doesn't listen to my orders as a marshal, can Guo Jia think of some ways?" ”

Guo Jia was slightly stunned, and then laughed in an instant: "Why do I Guo Jia need to come out of this matter, since Yuan Xiaoxian is a big handsome, he should naturally have the majesty of a big handsome, and the generals who don't listen to orders naturally have a set of rules in the army to deal with." ”

Yuan Yun sighed helplessly and said, "Prime Minister Cao just ordered Cai Mao to help, but he didn't give any orders, so he is not my subordinate at all, how can I restrain him?" ”

Guo Jia listened to Yuan Yunrui's words, so he let out a heavy sigh, and then continued to drink and eat beans, as for the so-called method, he didn't pay attention to it at all, as if he didn't bother to deal with this matter at all.

Yuan Yun saw Guo Jia like this, and immediately became a little anxious, after all, hundreds of warships were blocked on the dock like this, in case the enemy took advantage of this time to launch a sneak attack, it was estimated that a single fire could make most of these warships lose most.

"Guo Jiajun was under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng before, why don't you go over to see Cai Mao, he must be more afraid of you than me." Yuan Yun suggested again.

Guo Jia still didn't care much, and took a sip of wine before replying: "Yuan Xiaoxian is so worried, is he worried about those warships on the dock?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "That's true, those warships don't have a discipline at all, so if they are attacked by the enemy, the waterways will be so chaotic at that time, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe." ”

Guo Jia sighed again, and then shook his head and said: "Then let those warships be unlucky, it's best to burn a few first, and then Yuan Xiaoxian will naturally have an excuse to punish that Cai Mao." ”

Yuan Yun instantly looked stunned when he heard this, this method is really good, although it is not very authentic to burn his own warship, but it is better than putting it there and burning it all for the enemy.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun smiled, and then turned out the osmanthus brew from another secret grid, this kind of wine is rarely sold on the market because of its small output, and it is almost a specialty of Yuan Fu.

Guo Jia saw the osmanthus brew, and his eyes suddenly lit up, although he was not as good as Xu Chu and other generals, but this rare wine would still make him want to stop, so the moment he took the wine jug, he sent half a pot of wine into his stomach with a few bangs, and then shook the wine jug, and his face couldn't help showing a look of intoxication.

Yuan Yun saw that a stone in his heart was put down, so he immediately called Xiao Liu, and then told him to prepare to burn the boat in the middle of the night, so as to create some charges for Cai Mao, so that when he, a handsome man, beat people on the board, he was somewhat harder in his heart.

It wasn't until noon on the second day that Yuan Yun was about to leave the Yong'an courtyard, when he found that Xiao Liu came to report that Cai Mao had tied his hands and was waiting to see him outside the mansion at the moment Yuan Yun.

When Yuan Yun heard the news, the corners of his mouth instantly hung a beautiful arc, so he shouted at Xiao Liu: "Come on, ascend to the hall!" ”

Although Xiao Liu heard the shouts of the lord Yuan Yun, he looked confused, and he didn't know what the ascension hall was, but after the things before and after, he probably guessed the meaning, so he immediately hugged his fists and snorted, and went to the door to pick up Cai Mao.

When Yuan Yun saw Cai Mao in the lobby, the face of this cargo finally couldn't see the previous arrogance, because he lost three ships last night, although there were only three, but they were the three most important ships, one of which was the flagship that Cao Cao specially asked him to bring this time, that is, Cao Cao's own ship.

It's good now, just a few days after coming to Yong'an, this most important ship sank into the river, and it was burned beyond recognition before that, if Cao Cao knew about this matter and punished the crime, he Cai Mao as the commander of the navy was the one who received the crime.

When the fire burned last night, Cai Mao was still looking for joy in the Qinglou, and was so frightened that he almost fainted when he got the news, so he immediately took his entourage to prepare to fight the fire, but when he arrived at the dock, he could only watch the huge ship slowly sink into the river with the fire.

As a result, Cai Mao sat on the dock by the river all night, knowing that his sin was serious, so the whole person withered, and finally at the suggestion of his staff, he asked him to go to Yuan Yun's relationship.

Thinking that Yuan Yun was Cao Cao's son-in-law and a person with great skills, Cai Mao finally felt that he had seized a glimmer of life, so he came to Yuan Yun early in the morning to ask for help with his hands tied, hoping to get help from the other party.

It's just that even at this time, I still didn't understand why I didn't expect Yuan Yun to be Cao Cao's son-in-law, a person with great ability, and I don't know where he got his confidence when he was arrogant and domineering in the first few days.

Yuan Yun sat in the hall, watched Cai Mao slowly walk in, and immediately raised his hand, so the guards standing on both sides of the hall immediately shouted: "Mighty! ”

This shout was so frightened that Cai Mao knelt down without thinking about it, his face was full of horror, thinking that Yuan Yun would not cut off his head at this time to give it to Prime Minister Cao.
