Luoyang, Princess Qinghe's Mansion.

The carriage stopped slowly, Cao Fu jumped out of the car, rushed to the back of the car, and stretched out his hand to help: "Daddy, be careful." ”

Cao Hong coughed, helped the car shi, and got up with some difficulty. Although he was wearing a splendid brocade robe, his face was not good, and he looked a little gray. He got out of the car with the help of Cao Fu, glanced at the dull door, sighed, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked in.

Xiahou An came out of the door, welcomed Cao Hong into the mansion with a smile on his face, and went straight to the atrium. Xiahou Nan was dressed in white, and he was holding cloud hands in the courtyard, and when he saw Cao Hong coming in, he took the cloth towel from the maid and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle, happy New Year." ”

"Good, good, one more year." Cao Hong glanced at him, and said angrily: "What's the big deal, don't let me, an old bone, come over to pay you a New Year's greeting?" ”

Xiahou Nan smiled slightly: "Uncle, it stands to reason that I should go to pay you New Year's greetings, but you also know, I ...... now" He shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "It's inconvenient to move." ”

Cao Hong didn't say anything more, lost Guanzhong, Xiahou Nan was undoubtedly the first person responsible, although Cao Rui ransomed him back and didn't punish him, he never reused him again. Because of this, Princess Qinghe was not less angry with him, and Xiahou Nan's life was not easy. The two of them have the same disease, so they don't care about anything anymore.

Xiahou Nan let Cao Hong to the hall and repelled everyone, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that Uncle donated half of his family assets in order to support the war in Guanzhong?" ”

Cao Hong's cheeks twitched. When I think of that money. He was distressed. His health is not good, partly because of his illness, and partly because of the money that was donated. The war in Guanzhong is tense, and as a clan, he can't help but express something, not to mention that he was almost killed by Cao Pi because of his stinginess, he was bitten by a snake for a year, and he was afraid of grass ropes for ten years. I don't want to be killed by Cao Rui again.

But the money. It really hurts him.

"I admire Uncle's generosity. However, the country is now short not only of money, but also of food. Xiahou Nan said lightly: "Uncle doesn't want to worry about Bixia?" ”

Cao Hong almost jumped up and glared at Xiahou Nan: "Zilin." You ......"

Xiahou Nan knew that he had misunderstood. Hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle." Don't worry, listen to me. ”

"Anyway, I really don't have any money." Cao Hong said with a bare face.

"I know Uncle has no money. So I want to give Uncle a way to make money. Seeing Cao Hong so flustered, Xiahou Nan didn't dare to sell Guanzi anymore, don't scare old Cao Hong to death for the New Year.

"Wealth?" Cao Hong calmed down a little at this time: "What is a good way to make money, can you give it to me?" ”

"You see what you say." Xiahou Nan glanced at Cao Hong dissatisfied: "I can only tell you about this matter." He leaned into Cao Hong's ear and whispered a few words. Cao Hong's eyes were originally squinted, and he didn't have any brilliance at all, but after listening to half of it, he suddenly raised his eyelids, and his eyes were shining: "Really? ”

"Do I dare lie to you?" Xiahou Nan sneered: "Let me tell you clearly, I am not only helping you, but also helping myself." If I don't do something, I won't be able to live this day. ”

Cao Hong's eyelids fell, stroked his beard and groaned for a long time, and nodded: "If that's the case, this business will be done." However, if you want to be stable, you have to talk to Bixia first, in case someone reports it to Bixia, Bixia can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. In addition, where the fleet lands from ashore, but also to find a good place, now Xuzhou is not very peaceful, if there is no help from the locals, I am afraid that the ship will not be able to reach Luoyang, it will be robbed. ”

"I've got someone in mind."

"Who?"

"Tarzan Goat's Family."

Cao Hong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiahou Nan, and laughed: "You've planned everything, just wait for the old man to enter the palace, right?" ”

Xiahou Nan smiled silently.

Cao Hong nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the time you spent resting at home was not wasted." The Taishan goat family is indeed a good candidate, and it is much better than what we said to have Xin George in front of Bixia. However, you should be careful, although this business is big, but there is a lot of upfront investment, if something goes wrong, it will be a loss. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I can't afford to mess with any of you, can I be careless?"

"Okay, I'll trust you once." Cao Hong laughed. Xiahou Nan also smiled, leaned back, exchanged a look with a young man behind him, and nodded in unison.

……

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at Xin Bi: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Simbi nodded solemnly.

Cao Rui stood up, paced back and forth for two steps, couldn't control his joy, and laughed out loud: "This shaft is so bold, selling grain to the enemy, aren't you afraid that after being exposed, there will be no place to die?" ”

"This matter has a lot to do with it, of course he did it carefully, it is impossible to leave a handle, even if it is discovered by Zhuge Liang, it is just that the rule is not strict, and there is no evidence of his direct involvement. However, Bixia, I think this matter is still a little strange. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Transporting grain for thousands of miles, even if it is by sea, costs a lot. It won't be long before I am afraid that my Great Wei will have no money available. ”

Cao Rui's eyes rolled, and he waved his hand vigorously: "I am in a hurry, and I can't take care of it so much for the time being." Immediately issued an edict to collect the copper from Luoyang and Yecheng to mint money and get through this difficult time in front of you. He walked under the porch, looked at the sky in the distance, and smiled, "I know it's a poison, but I can only eat it." If I can't recapture Guanzhong, the Great Wei National Fortune may end in my hands. ”

Simbi sighed and didn't say anything more. Since Cao Rui had thought of all the consequences, he didn't need to say anything more.

"Regardless of whether he did it or not, collect the evidence, and if there is no evidence, he will forge some evidence. When I get over this, I'll bite him harder again. Cao Rui smiled gloomily: "With such a courtier, how can the national fortune of Shu Han be prosperous, Zhuge Liang is a genius in the sky, what good is it?" It seems that God has not abandoned Dawei yet. ”

Simbi wanted to speak and stopped.

……

The sun was shining, and the mountains, hidden by thick snow, were white and a little dazzling. A group of people drove pack horses and pulled sleighs full of grain, and trudged through the snow. Seeing the big camp in front of them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Everyone work hard, and when you enter the big camp, you can count it as an errand." ”

Although there is a sleigh invented by Zhuge Liang, transporting grain in such weather is still a chore. I arrived at the camp safely, and finally I didn't have to sleep in the ice and snow, and I could eat a hot meal in total. Hearing the word "big camp", the exhausted people finally had some spirits.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, wrapped his body tightly, looked at the people who were wearing shabby cotton clothes and had snot from the cold, sighed long, turned around and ordered: "Duke Wei, let the baggage camp prepare more hot food, slaughter two more pigs, and add some meat to these people." ”

Yang Yi frowned: "Prime Minister, there is still food, but there are not many pigs, and there are still food for the army." ”

"Isn't it the same when the soldiers eat and the people eat?" Zhuge Liang said: "Go, don't be stingy, when the snow melts, more cattle and sheep will be sent." ”

Yang Yi replied helplessly, turned around, and happened to meet Huo Yi head-on. Seeing the serious look on Huo Yi's face, Yang Yi couldn't help but be taken aback, and when the two passed by, he gave Huo Yi an inquiring look. Huo Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Yang Yi's mood suddenly became nervous, he hurriedly arranged it, and rushed back to Zhuge Liang's side. Zhuge Liang had just finished reading the emergency report, and when he saw Yang Yi coming, he didn't say anything, and handed the emergency report to Yang Yi. Yang Yi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

It was a message from Jiang Wan.

"Li Yan is so bold!" Yang Yi's eyes were a little red, and her breath was a little short: "Chen Xiaoqi is right, Li Yan does have scales in his abdomen." No, he is not only a scaly armor in his belly, but also a harbor of evil. With such a large number of Yizhou and Dongzhou people promoted, how can there be chaos in the court? ”

"He's just going to win out of chaos." Zhuge Liang sighed lightly: "The state affairs are difficult, they don't know how to unite sincerely, but the party is the same and different, and they are in chaos, which is really chilling." In the long run, the infighting will not stop, the country will not be a country, what else is there to talk about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the revival of the Han Dynasty? ”

Yang Yi's face turned pale, and she thought for a while: "Prime Minister, we have to prepare early, since Li Yan is restless, how can Meng Da be dormant?" If he transfers the grain and grass from Jiaozhou to Xiangyang, how can we do here? He paused, and then said: "Also, Dong Yun is too weak, he is not Li Yan's opponent, let's let Jiang Wan go back to Chengdu, anyway, he won't be of much use in Lingling." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he shook his head: "No, Jiang Wan is useful in Lingling." ”

"Then who is in charge of Chengdu?"

Zhuge Liang laughed silently: "Don't worry, Li Yan can't turn over the big waves." Now what I am worried about is not the external enemy, but the internal trouble, which cannot be eliminated and cannot be resisted. Once the internal troubles are solved, what is the way for the external enemy. ”

Yang Yi was a little dazed, Zhuge Liang's words, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

……

Changan.

Ma Tan stood up, his face red and white for a while.

Liu Min, who was standing in front of him, was silent, as if he had expected Ma Yan's reaction.

Liu Min is Jiang Wan's cousin, and the current prime minister's mansion is in the army, following Zhuge Liang, this time he came to Chang'an on the order of Zhuge Liang and told Ma Jian the news passed by Jiang Wan. Before he came, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang took care of him, you just need to be truthful, needless to say, Ma Youchang is a smart person, he knows what to do. Now Ma Tan's reaction is expected by Zhuge Liang, and he can't help but admire Zhuge Liang's clever calculations and grasp Ma Tan's psychology so accurately.

Ma Tan paced back and forth a few steps, gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and made a big decision. "I'm going to Linwei to meet the prime minister." …… (To be continued......)
