Thank you for the reward of the floating life.

－－－－－－－－

The affairs of the Wealthy Business Conference are lackluster. It's nothing more than everyone drinking and chatting together, and then discussing the spoils.

But there are still a few people and things that have left a deep impression on everyone.

The first person, Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family in Hebei. This young man in his twenties is handsome and exquisite, with a carved face with distinct facial features, an angular face that is handsome and abnormal, full of manly masculinity. He has a tall nose, moderately thick red lips, and a dazzling smile on the corners of his mouth. It's a pity that a pair of peach blossom eyes were born, which made the whole face a lot less masculine, more feminine and feminine, but also a little more attractive to women. The reason why everyone is deeply impressed is only because this person is not proud of his family background, and he is extremely easy.

The second person is Mr. Wei San, the second housekeeper of the Wei family. This person is in his forties, less than seven feet tall, has a pair of triangular eyes, puffy eye bubbles, three wisps of rat whiskers, and an eagle hooked nose, which is not a good thing at first sight! He is indeed not a good person, although he is a housekeeper of the Wei family, his attitude is extremely arrogant, and he doesn't look at people at all with a pair of triangular eyes. also put forward a non-dividing request, let Tian Fan give him the wine-making method, otherwise, it is impossible to guarantee whether the trade route to Liangzhou and Sili is smooth. The angry Tian Fan wanted to kick him!

The third and fourth people, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, Zhongshan businessmen, are not wealthy families at all, but in the wealthy businessmen's conference, the two of them got all the distribution rights of burning knives in Zhongshan! Except for a very few people, most people are very curious and surprised about this matter. In fact, there is nothing special, when Liu Bei raised his army, the two of them sponsored fifty horses and one thousand catties of iron, as well as some property, which made Liu Bei have a trace of confidence, and after Liu Bei gained a foothold in Xuzhou, he smuggled 600 war horses to Xuzhou one after another, which is a lot of merit.

The fifth person is the more inconspicuous Jiujiang businessman Qiao Xuan! Before this conference, no one knew that there was such a person, but it was he who quietly took away the distribution rights of soap in Jiujiang! This is also explosive news, so naturally curious people are indispensable to inquire. In the end, the news they heard was that this person and Tian Fan were old acquaintances!

In addition to these few people, the rest worth mentioning is that the distribution qualifications and shares determined this time are temporary for a period of three years. By the next term, it will be redetermined. Want to continue this monopoly business? Simple, Xuzhou lacks everything, what we lack, you will use what to exchange!

In Xiapi, around the New Year, there are three things that the people talk about the most, one is this Hao clan conference, the second is a hundred opera troupe that recently came to Xuzhou, and the third is the war that just ended!

In the eyes of the high-level within the Xuzhou Legion, this battle was not a big victory at all, at most it was just a small victory, and most of the Cao soldiers killed and injured were the credit of Lu Bu, so Liu Bei and others did not spread the news of Liu Bei's victory and Cao Cao's defeat at all. Can...... Gossip is about the nature of all people, and it has been passed down by word of mouth in countless people......

"Have you heard? Our state pastor fought with Cao Cao and won! Our army lost two thousand, and the other side lost seven! Also, our Tian Junshi is really not an ordinary person, 300 people resisted the attack of the opponent's 2,000 people! ”

"Have you heard? Our state pastor defeated Cao Cao and beheaded more than 10,000! Our Tian Junshi is powerful, hehe, three hundred people killed and injured more than a thousand opponents! ”

"Nonsense, it's obviously 20,000 beheadings, and with the cooperation of 300 Tian Junshi and Lu Fengxian's 800 people, the other party was beheaded by more than 2,000!"

"You just talk nonsense, I heard people say that Cao Jun was almost completely annihilated, and Cao Cao was almost arrested! Hehe, also, our Tian Junshi is really a god! His 300 people entered and exited seven times from the camp of 10,000 Cao soldiers, killed and injured nearly 10,000 Cao soldiers, and rescued the beaten and dying Lu Bu! Hey, Xuzhou has the state pastor and Tian Junshi, we are not afraid of anyone! ”…,

"How? I heard people say that Lu Bu is not good at mixing now, and he has taken refuge in our state pastor, and this time he obediently followed our state pastor to go on the expedition! When fighting with Cao Cao, Lu Bu was accidentally surrounded by Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers, and it was Tian Junshi who led 300 people to enter and exit seven times and rescued Lu Bu who was dying. Who is the Ketian military division? Can he ask for a slave with three surnames as a righteous son? Kicked him away! Hey, hey, hey, and, later, the state pastor sent troops, wiped out the Cao army, and captured Cao Cao, Cao Cao is also shameless, at such an old age, he has to worship the state pastor as his father-in-law, and the state pastor is annoying, do you want to? With such an older son by his side, how awkward does it look to be? Just let him go! ”

……

Tian Fan also heard a little bit of these rumors, but he didn't bother to deal with them until the day after the New Year.

At the end of last year, more than 300 outstanding spies who had completed the training were sent to the neighboring cities of Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou to carry out the task of detecting the enemy's situation.

As soon as the New Year passed, the first message from the night spies in Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jizhou was - Cao Liu War, Liu Bei won a big victory, Cao Cao was defeated, and Lu Bu completely surrendered to Liu Bei! And Yanzhou, which was controlled by Cao Cao, did not have the slightest movement, and no such information came out at all.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, Liu Bei urgently summoned all the military generals and ministers.

In the hall, everyone had a heated discussion.

The ministers all tasted the slightest hint of conspiracy in this abnormal rumor. Most of the generals are old and rough, and they don't think about it so much, some people say that you won the battle, why are you not happy?

Lu Su squinted, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Lord, this matter is not normal!" This rumor is so popular in my Xuzhou and understandable, but why is it so enthusiastic in the territory of Yuan Highway in Yangzhou and the territory of Yuan Benchu in Qingzhou and Jizhou? It's really not normal! ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said boldly: "Mr. Zijing, you are really too childish!" Haha, what's so strange about people saying we won the battle? ”

At the end of last year, after everyone returned to the army, the commander of the Xiapi battalion became a problem that everyone had to examine. Guan Yu went to Longkang, Chang Feng and Zhou Cang also followed, Xia Pi's promise was not a general, this is not good! Mi Fang was white, Xu Deng and others didn't have that ability, and later Liu Bei thought of transferring Zhang Fei back. But Guangling has no Zhang Fei, and it has become a trouble to replace him! It was Lu Su, Liu Ye, Sun Gan and others who recommended Chen Dao. Considering that Liu Bei had Xu Chu and Xu Ding by his side, two strong guard leaders, Chen Zhi was no longer needed, and Chen Zhi's skills were already strong in the art of war, and it was a pity not to bring troops, so he was sent to Guangling to replace Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei took over the command of the Xiapi battalion. Now that Zhang Fei has moved to Xiapi, the two brothers see each other every day, which is quite good.

Mi Fang, Xu Deng and others echoed again and again.

Liu Ye shook his head, stroked his beard and said carefully: "But...... If something is abnormal, it is a demon! We obviously didn't have a big victory, but rumors say that we almost captured Cao Cao! It's hard to be reassured! ”

Chen Deng squinted his eyes, kept pondering, and did not interject, at this time listening to Liu Ye's words, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he said loudly: "Not good!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Yuanlong, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Deng did not answer immediately, but said again and again with some nervousness: "That's it, it must be so!" It took a long time for him to salute Liu Bei and said anxiously: "Lord, I understand!" This must be Cao Mengde's plan to kill people with a knife! ”

Everyone was stunned, and then Liu Ye and Lu Su nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, it must be so!" ”…,

Mi Zhu asked anxiously: "Oh, I said three, what do you say?" It's good, it's going to be so, can you make it clear? ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Lord, everyone! Think about it, if there is an enemy around you, you thought he was weak, but all of a sudden, you found that the other party is actually very strong, what would you do? ”

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and said: "If it were me, I would definitely watch him carefully, and if it was possible, I would definitely destroy him!" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Not bad!" This is the effect that Cao Mengde wants! ”

Tian Fan finally understood, he said: "This Cao Heizi is really black-faced and even darker-hearted!" ”

Zhang Fei sat with Tian Fan, and when he heard this, he pulled Tian Fan and asked, "What's going on?" What kind of dumb puzzles do you play? Tell me about it! ”

Tian Fan nodded, saluted Liu Bei, and said, "Lord, Cao Heizi's plan, to put it bluntly, is nothing!" It's just two words - kill! In the past, maybe Yuan Highway and Yuan Benchu didn't regard my Xuzhou as a big enemy, but after Cao Mengde's trouble, they all know that my Xuzhou army is powerful, and the so-called lying next to the couch will not allow others to snore, they will inevitably look at our Xuzhou with their eyes! In this way, my situation in Xuzhou is much more dangerous! I'm afraid that the time for us to really bury our heads in development and not be disturbed has come to an end! ”

After Tian Fan's explanation, everyone understood what a terrible conspiracy this seemingly inconspicuous rumor had! The Xuzhou Legion, which fooled 200,000 people from Qingzhou last year, can be regarded as offending Yuan Shao, annexing Long Kang, and offending Yuan Shu, but neither of them has anything to say, the reason for this is that there is indeed something that cannot be withdrawn, on the other hand, I am afraid that there is also a mind that does not take the Xuzhou Legion seriously! Let you bounce for two days, and I'll clean you up when I'm free!

Knowing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried, Xuzhou has just expanded, and the troops are scattered a lot, if Er Yuan attacks at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the enemy and the country!

Liu Bei said: "Two military advisors, I don't know how to deal with this matter?" ”

Lu Su said: "Lord, everyone, there is no need to worry too much about this matter, even if Er Yuan starts to pay attention to us, they can't take care of us for the time being." Yuan Benchu's strategic center is in Youzhou in the north, even if you want to adjust, it will take at least half a year, Yuan Highway is about the same, Yangzhou still needs to involve some of his energy, we just need to follow the previous plan! ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Cao Yong hurriedly running in! After he saluted Liu Bei, he ran straight to Tian Fan's side, took out a thin silk silk from his personal pocket, and handed it to Tian Fan. Tian Fan took it in his hand and looked at it, there were a few words on it: Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, in mid-December, with the family heirloom jade seal as the hostage, borrowed 3,000 Yuan Shu soldiers and horses, and went to Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, a native of Lujiang, led thousands of people to meet each other!
