Today, the eldest son of Youzhou Shepherd got married, and the officials under Su Chen's rule sent people to send congratulatory gifts, and the confidant generals and strategists temporarily put down their official duties and hurried back to Zhuo County to drink a glass of wine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The princes from all walks of life in the world also sent congratulatory gifts, of course, except for the princes who were loyal to the Chang'an court, Su Chen ordered people to entertain all the guests, but he himself came to a secret room and summoned Xu Shu.

After Xu Shu and Sun Wei were sent by him to Bingzhou to help Gao Shun, they have never seen each other again, and this time taking advantage of Su Jin's wedding, he also has some things to explain to Xu Shu in person.

"Yuan Zhi, you've worked hard in the past few years, how is the situation in the state now?"

"The lord is courteous!" Xu Shu saluted, and then replied: "Back to the lord, the Marquis of Jin has worked hard in recent years, and there is no big war in the state, so the people can still be hungry, thanks to the sorghum planting ordered by the lord at the beginning, and now many people in the state rely on sorghum to survive." ”

"Well, every year the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce purchases a large number of sorghum from Bingzhou for winemaking, and now Su wine is sold to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and even exported to the Western Regions and the Eastern Ying Goguryeo region, it can be said that the demand for sorghum is great, which is also thanks to Peping, otherwise I don't know how much food is consumed, in the war years, food is a strategic material, and the military needs of ordinary princes are not enough, and it is even more impossible to use it for winemaking, and it is precisely because of this that Benhou can reap this big dividend, and the princes of the world hate and love Benhou."

"What the lord said is very true!"

In the war years, no one of the princes was rich in grain, and in the event of a big war, there was a great demand for food, and the grain grown by the people was purchased by the government for military needs, and where was there any surplus grain to make wine.

But in this way, the demand for wine in the war years became more and more vigorous, and some hostile forces did not have crowded out the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, but so what, the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the local family to sell wine, and a huge interest group had been formed, unless they wanted to betray their relatives, no one could ban it.

What's more, the scholars drink and feast, Su wine has become a must-have, once anyone entertains the guests and does not come up with the best Su wine, it is really a shame, Su Chen took advantage of this item, and the silver money in the hands of these families was continuously scraped.

Not only Su wine, but also printed books, snowflake paper, snowflake candy, etc., these things have brought him countless wealth every year, and it is precisely because of this that he has never worried about food, even if Liaodong uses troops every year, and will soon use troops against Xuzhou, but the food in his hands is still very sufficient.

After a few words of gossip, Su Chen turned to the topic and said: "Yuan Zhi, after Lingyun's wedding, it is autumn, and it is also the time when I agreed with Yuan Shao to use troops against Cao Cao, the two sides agreed that our army will attack Xuzhou from Langya, and Yuan Shao will send troops from Yecheng to attack Yanzhou, at this time, Lu Bu's attitude is very important, if Lu Bu takes the opportunity to send troops to Hangu Pass, then it will undoubtedly help Cao Cao a lot, so you must tell Bo Ping in this matter, let him drag Lu Bu, and must not let Lu Bu break through Hangu Pass, and you can use extraordinary means when necessary. ”

"My lord, my subordinates remember." Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Ma Teng is now appointed by Lu Bu as the Taishou of Beidi County, and Ma Teng and Han will surrender to Lu Bu when they are desperate, we might as well send someone to contact the two of them, so that they can take the opportunity to rebel, maybe we can cause some trouble to Lu Bu." ”

"That's not enough!" Su Chen replied: "The news came from the bayonet, when Dong Zhuo was killed, there was Lu Bu's credit, and there is a key person is Li Su, Li Su is now in a high position in the Chang'an Imperial Court, obviously Lu Bu intends to alienate him, you send someone to contact Li Su after you go back, and promise him enough benefits, let him take the opportunity to contact Dong Zhuo's old department, tell these people the truth, I think Niu Fu and others should cause him some trouble." ”

"The lord has a feasible plan." When Xu Shu said this, he remembered something and reported to Su Chen: "My lord, in recent years, the status of the Xiongnu alone in Qiangqu has gradually not been recognized by the major tribes, but it is the general trend of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu to snare the henchmen, ready to move, Qiangqu's son Yu Fuluo came to Jinyang not long ago to ask for help from the state pastor, all along, Qiangqu is very supportive of cooperation with our army, if Qiangqu is overthrown, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will disobey the control in the future." ”

"This thing you said is very important, now that the northern Xianbei has been conquered by Benhou, there is no strong threat, and it is normal for the Huns to have some other thoughts, you go back and tell Peping, since Qiangqu is more aware of current affairs, help him stabilize the position of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the Marquis of Xubu Bone will send someone to remove it, Benhou heard that Yu Fuluo once studied in Taihang Academy, and admired our question very much, if Qiangqu is disobedient in the future, he might as well disappear and be replaced by the pro-Han Yu Fuluo when Shan Yu, in addition, Peping can let the Xiongnu go to Lu Bu to plunder when necessary, and can't let him threaten Luoyang, understand? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Well, you also go to meet Lingyun and them, there have been a lot of talents in the academy over the years, you are so close, Ben Hou still has to meet someone, so he won't stay long."

"Slow down, lord!"

The meeting between Su Chen and Xu Shu was very secret, and no one knew, which was why Su Chen came to see him in person, he couldn't let anyone know that Gao Shun was his person, and this was a good card to deal with Yuan Shao in the future.

He was just about to leave, Xu Shu suddenly remembered something and stopped him: "Slow down!" ”

"Oh? What else is going on with Yuanzhi? ”

"Lord!" Xu Shu walked a few steps closer and said: "This time I came to Zhuo County not only one person, there was another person with him, he directly found the state pastor, Mao Sui recommended himself, planned the defeat of Yuan Shang's army, and then the state pastor sent him to the Baibo army, a few days ago he suddenly returned to Jinyang to find the state pastor, the words of the relationship between the state pastor and the lord have a guess, this person has great talent, the state pastor does not dare to be self-dedicated, so I want the lord to see him, to see if he can trust. ”

"Oh, who is he?"

"Hanoi Sima Yi!"

"Sima Yi?" He didn't expect that the person who came with Xu Shu turned out to be Sima Yi, and listening to Xu Shu's meaning, this Sima Yi actually guessed that Gao Shun was a chess piece laid by him, which made him sigh a little, "Where is he now?" ”

"He was still in the post house, and he didn't get the lord's orders, so his subordinates didn't dare to bring him to see the lord."

Hearing that it was Sima Yi who came to Zhuo County, he couldn't help but see it, but Sima Yi was different from Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was cultivated by him since he was a child, and he was as close as father and son, so he could fully trust him.

But Sima Yi's mound tiger will hurt himself if he doesn't get it right, since he can guess this relationship, he is also a little conceited, if he goes to see him now, it may boost his arrogance, making him feel that there is no one in the world, but he can't see it, if he forces such a person away, it will be more than worth the loss, after thinking about it, he said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, bring him to see me before you leave, you must watch him these days, see who he is in contact with, and you must pay attention to every move." ”

"No!"

Walking out of Xu Shu's room, Su Chen looked at the sky and muttered to himself: "Sima Yi, it's a little interesting." ”
