Cai Yan's house, inside the wine cellar.

Sima Yi looked at the five wine containers on the ground in a daze, and fell into a stalemate for a while, and was speechless for a while.

"What to do, what to do, that hateful, come in coldly and shout a fart! It's good now, which bowl is it put in....... if this is messed up, the bastard surnamed Yuan will not be able to split me! Sima Yi wiped the sweat from his face while talking to himself helplessly.

"What to do, what to do......" Sima Yiti slipped through the medicine bottle and spun around in a hurry.

Suddenly, Sima Yi suddenly stood up, lowered his head and weighed the weight of the bottle, silently distracted, and after a while, the corners of his mouth unconsciously began to show a smile that was difficult for others to understand.

I couldn't figure out how many bowls there were on the left and right, so I simply ...... Put it in a pile, and ensure that Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu will drink it.

As for what happened to others....... it was no longer within Sima Yi's consideration.

************************

When he was young, Sima Yi led the maidservant to serve the wine, and the five of them each held the lamp, slowly filled it into it, and then raised the lamp together.

Yuan Shangdang drank a big glass first, then raised his hand to wipe his mouth, nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, this jar of wine is much more satisfying than just now, Zhongda, the choice is good, very good!" ”

Yuan Shang looked at Sima Yi's eyes with deep meaning, and Sima Yi arched his hand at Yuan Shang with a blank face, and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" ”

Everyone then raised their glasses together, and then raised their lamps together, and drank them all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Yun put down the wine cup and said to Yuan Shang: "What are you thinking about when you collect troops and give up the opportunity to attack the Central Plains in one go?" This is not your confidant. Even if you are a pro-pole ally, you don't have any scruples, so you might as well take this opportunity to tell us what you think, how about it? ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, then chatted about the wine cup, wiped his mouth gently, and said: "During the banquet, if you don't talk about military and state affairs, you don't know such a simple truth?" ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and took a sip. "But I want to hear it." ”

Beside Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu hurriedly smiled and said: "That's it, that's it, I also want to hear it, if you want to say that Yuan Gong, you have no reason to collect troops and return to Guanzhong, that is none of us who believe it!" Tell me, what's going on in your head? ”

Yuan Shang circled around, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he immediately arched his shoulders helplessly. smiled: "Okay, since Miss Ma asked for General Zhao, then I'll reveal it slightly." ”

Ma Yunlu's face froze, and then he said, "Who is asking for him......"

Yuan Shang cleared his throat. said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao is dead, the main force of the Central Plains is still there, and there is still an heir behind him, Xiahou Dun." Cao Ren, Xun Yu and other elites are also there, and at this time, if they send strong troops to attack the Central Plains. His sons and loyal ministers are united and work together, even if they defeat Xudu, it will not be of much benefit to our army. It is better to withdraw the troops for the time being, to observe the changes, to see the situation in the Central Plains, and to wait for its momentum to decline, and then it is not too late to attack. ”

Cai Yan frowned and said, "Is it declining?" What does that mean? If you don't attack, Cao Jun can recuperate, how can the strength be exhausted? ”

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Although Cai is a double master, but there are deficiencies in political and military strategy, Cao Cao died suddenly, and there was no intention of leaving any heir to inherit his throne during his lifetime, if I attack at will, his sons will definitely work together to fight against me, but if I do not move, then the successor of Cao Cao will become the current priority of all his sons, who should inherit his throne?" Who is eligible to succeed him? These things are not only the affairs of Cao Cao's sons, but also the affairs of the courtiers of Xu Du...... Once there is a struggle for the heir, how should the Cao family be stable? ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "In the past, there was a plan for two tigers to compete for food, and now the lord has a plan to compete for food, but to count the tigers to compete for food, once the plan succeeds, then Xu Du will be in chaos, and my army will rise again, and it will be conquered and the battle will be fruitful!" Forgive Xiahoudun, how can Cao Ren and the others resist it? ”

Zhao Yun showed a look of sudden realization, and then said: "But the problem is that although your strategy is good, it is hard to guarantee that no one will be able to see it, Guo Jiaxun and Jia Xu are all heroes among people, and they may not be able to crack it without tricks." ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, even if it is cracked, Xu Du will inevitably be chaotic, it's just how big the chaos will be, as long as we master the heat and attack quickly, there will definitely be good results....... the key problem now is the other two people." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned and said, "Apart from the Cao family, who else will be the key issue?" ”

Yuan Shang's brows furrowed deeply, and said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the day before yesterday there were spies who reported, Liu Biao lost Cai Mao, and he has reused Liu Bei as his arm, with Liu Biao's current weakness and Liu Bei's ability, it may not be impossible for him to grasp the power of Jingzhou in the short term, not to mention that Liu Bei had mourned for Cao Cao a month ago, and he had the demeanor of a loyal minister of the heroic Han family, I am afraid that in the short term, there will be talented people from all over the world gathered to vote, Liu Bei's rise is an inevitable trend, and it will inevitably be a strong enemy of our army in the future!" ”

Sima Yi let out a long sigh and said: "If Liu Bei is a tiger in Jingzhou, he will be a strong enemy of our army, but if we can recover the Central Plains, then we will occupy most of the world, although it will take some trouble to deal with Liu Bei, but it will not be too laborious, at least it should be easier than Cao Cao." ”

Yuan Shang sighed and said, "Liu Bei alone is not enough to shake our army, but what if he joins Sun Quan?" ”

"Sun Quan?" Everyone was stunned: "That little baby in Jiangdong? ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "He is not a child, don't look at Sun Quan, this kid has not made any big moves since he succeeded to the throne, but he is extremely capable, not losing to his brother Sun Ce, if he unites with Liu Bei to fight against our army, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Sima Yi and Zhao Yun took a look, and then heard Zhao Yun ask: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan are united, I said that you are a little too taken for granted, right?" ”

Yuan Shang stretched out two fingers and said: "Although our current rival is the Cao family, we must also pay careful attention to these two parties, it is imperative that there are two things to do, one is to send someone to Jingzhou to urge Liu Bei to repay the money, and return the one million money to me as soon as possible, and the other is to send an envoy to Jiangdong, I want to befriend Liu Bei before Liu Bei's foothold is stable, by the way, it will also benefit Liu Zhang's state!" I also want to make friends, I want to cut off all the allies that Liu Bei can befriend............"

As soon as Yuan Shang's words came to this, he saw Ma Yunlu's face flushed and burped, and he muttered in a low voice: "Why is it so hot?" ”

Liu Bei and Sima Yi suddenly burst into spirits.

"The show is coming, the effect of the medicine is going to be strong!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Oh, look at me, I said so much in one breath, but I forgot that everyone drank a lot, it's not early, it's time to go back to sleep...... Miss Ma has never healed from her injuries, and she has drunk a lot today, but I am afraid that she is drunk, General Zilong, Yuan ordered you to send Miss Ma back to the mansion and send her back safely, understand! ”

Zhao Yun didn't think much about it, then swept his clothes and got up, and said, "You can rest assured about this." ”

Sima Yi also got up and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will also leave." ”

Yuan Shang glanced at him and said, "What are you doing so early?" ”

Sima Yi smiled dryly and said, "There is something to do, something urgent." ”

Since Sima Yi had already said so, Yuan Shang couldn't keep him, so he immediately got up with Cai Yan and personally sent the three out of the mansion, Zhao Yun helped Ma Yunlu to get into the car, and then turned around to say goodbye to Yuan Shang and everyone, and then also stepped into the car.

At this moment, Ma Yunlu's eyes were already flushed, and there was already a little confusion in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yun, and although Zhao Yun's medicinal strength did not come up, his face was also a little drunk red, according to Yuan Shang's estimate, he was afraid that he would use medicinal strength on the road!

Yuan Shang couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

After Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu's carriage left, they saw Cai Yan suddenly soften, softening slightly to the side, and almost fell down, Yuan Shang's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly supported her and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cai Yan gently rubbed his temples, shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, but suddenly I feel a little uncomfortable......"

Yuan Shang frowned: "What's so uncomfortable, isn't it your eldest aunt here...... Why is this so awkward. ”

Sima Yi glanced at Cai Yan cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Everyone Cai is unwell, my lord, don't leave yet, and help carefully to see what's going on, after all, it's also your elder...... Sima Yi was still in a hurry, so he left first. ”

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Then you should be careful on your own road." ”

Sima Yi smiled dryly, and said secretly in his heart: "It should be you who should be careful." Then he took his leave.

As soon as Yuan Shang helped Cai Yan into the house, Sima Yi hurriedly jumped into the carriage and shouted at the carriage driver: "Hurry, hurry!" Find me the nearest brothel! ”

The coachman was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Brothel, my lord, what are you doing in that place in the middle of the night?" ”

Sima Yi raised his hand and gave the coachman a punch, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you asking!" Lao Tzu is looking for a brothel, not a fire, can't he still pay his grandmother to recognize his godmother! ”

*****************

Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu, and Sima Yi left, and Yuan Shang helped Cai Yan into the hospital, and then instructed the maid to take care of him, and then he wanted to leave.

was just about to leave, but saw Cai Yan suddenly straighten up, glanced at Yuan Shang lightly, and said in a low voice: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Yuan Shang was slightly stunned and said, "I am full of wine and food, do you still want to help me pack it, auntie?" ”

Cai Yan sighed slightly and said, "I haven't drunk enough, why don't you come over and drink more with me?" (To be continued.) )
