Although the generals in the tent heard the wailing of the heralds, Cao Cao was angry at this moment, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he had already scolded countless sentences in his heart, "Mom sells batches".

He originally thought that this letter was a prayer letter sent by Tao Qian.

In order to pretend to be forced, he let the herald read it in public.

But he never expected that it was a letter written by Hua Xiong, and he insulted himself like that in the letter, calling himself a dog thief!

This is a forced ...... What a failure!

After Cao Cao calmed down, he looked at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice,

"Guys, what do you think?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.

In the end, Chen Gong stood up.

"Lord, that Huaxiong is the imperial court master, with heavy troops, we can't afford to offend."

He was kind enough to persuade him.

"Yes, my lord. This expedition to Xuzhou,

We have slaughtered more than a dozen cities, and seized countless gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass, and horses.

Retirement may be considered. ”

Xiahoudun also nodded in agreement.

Among Cao Cao's generals, the most reliable and trusted one was Xiahoudun.

Coupled with the fact that the only strategist Chen Gong also said so, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

"Duke Cao, my lord borrowed your soldiers and horses, but he didn't let you retreat!"

It was a military general armed with a three-pointed knife who spoke.

His face remained unswerving, and he looked at Cao Cao with a sneer.

As soon as he saw this person, Cao Cao suddenly felt a headache.

Although Yuan Shu agreed to lend him soldiers and horses, it was impossible not to be unprepared.

This general's name is Ji Ling, and he was sent by Yuan Shu to monitor Cao Cao.

"General Ji, it's not that I don't want to capture Xuzhou, it's just that Huaxiong ...... It's hard to resist. ”

Cao Cao said helplessly.

"But my lord's meaning is to let you kill Tao Qian."

Ji Ling didn't give an inch.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, another herald ran in quickly.

"Report to the general, here's a letter!"

Cao Cao learned to be clever this time, and did not let the soldiers read it in public.

He took the letter, read it carefully, and his brow suddenly relaxed.

"General Ji, come and see for yourself!"

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment and took the letter.

This is a letter from a spy that reads,

At the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou in the north, an army of 50,000 Huaxiong suddenly appeared.

Ji Ling gasped.

50,000 troops!

Coupled with the army in Tao Qian's hands, the advantage of his own strength was gone.

In case Cao Cao stormed Pi, Huaxiong sent people to attack or cut off the grain and grass......

Ji Ling didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

He nodded hurriedly,

"It's all up to Cao Gong."

"Since Master Taishi personally wrote the letter, then give him a face, and we will withdraw our troops tomorrow."

Cao Cao ordered to go down.

The congregation will listen to the order and then disperse.

After everyone left, Cao Cao threw the letter in his hand to the ground in hatred.

"This Huaxiong! It's so deceitful! ”

Chen Gong smiled lightly,

"Lord, in fact, we also have a way to disgust him."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with great joy,

"Gongtai, what can you do?"

"Lord, didn't Lu Bu just take refuge in Zhang Xiu some time ago.

We can promise a lot of money and let him attack Luoyang! ”

Chen Gong's words made Cao Cao's eyes light up.

That's right.

Zhang Xiu's territory can be said to be close to Luoyang.

If Lu Bu and the others are allowed to attack Luoyang together, then they will not break through Luoyang City in minutes?

When the time comes, Huaxiong will not be able to take care of himself, and he will be able to continue to attack Xuzhou!

"The public station is very good!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard, hurriedly picked up his pen and ink, and began to write letters.

……

Drama County.

After knowing that Huaxiong had made arrangements, Mi Fang put her mind at ease,

Every day, he drinks and recites poetry with Kong Rong and a group of Beihai celebrities.

Lu Yun seemed to have nothing to do.

On this day she left her lodgings and planned to go to the seashore to see the salt works.

In the distance, Lu Yun saw a familiar figure, it was Hua Xiong.

"Master Taishi!"

Lu Yun subconsciously called out.

Zhou Cang turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was Lu Yun, he suddenly showed an ambiguous smile.

He stopped and let Lu Yun walk over.

"It turned out to be Miss Luyun." Hua Xiong smiled casually, "Why are you so free today?" ”

"My second brother has been out to meet guests these days, and I have nothing to do by myself, so I came to see the Yantian of adults.

Adults don't mind, do they? ”

Lu Yun chuckled.

"Of course not."

Hua Xiong smiled.

Zhou Cang followed from a distance.

Hua Xiong and Lu Yun take a walk by the salt pan.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Lu Yun coughed lightly and pointed to Yantian Road in the distance,

"My lord, do you plan to sell all this refined salt by the imperial court?"

Hua Xiong shook his head,

"I'm not going to do that.

When the salt pans are completed, I will recruit salt merchants in the various states of China and they will sell them. ”

"This ...... Isn't the imperial court going to establish a salt number? ”

Lu Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

At that time, most of the business models were sent by the family to other states to establish semicolons.

There has never been a direct hand-off to local businessmen like Hua Xiong.

"That's too time-consuming and laborious, so it's better to hand it over to a local business."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

If you follow the traditional business model, although the profit will be very high,

But if you want to generalize, it consumes too much cost and time.

Huaxiong simply adopted the dealer model of the previous life and gave the sales rights to those businessmen.

In this way, the promotion of refined salt can be greatly accelerated.

Lu Yun thought for a moment and praised,

"This method of adults is really different.

I just don't know if my Mi family has a chance to become one of the dealers. ”

Even if the profits of these refined salts are not as profitable as before.

But its quality is there, and it will definitely be more widely sold than those coarse salts.

Hua Xiong smiled and looked at Lu Yun Dao,

"I can give the Mi family this opportunity, but how does the Mi family plan to repay me?"

Lu Yun's heart jumped, she forced herself to calm down, and said softly,

"The Mi family is willing to give adults 30 million dollars a year!"

"You are a little woman, but you can also be the master of the Mi family?"

"It's true. Most of the Mi family's current business is taken care of by Luyun. ”

Lu Yun explained.

The Mi family has a huge property.

And Mi Zhu and Mi Fang both have official positions and have no time to take care of them.

So most of the business is actually managed by Luyun.

"As I said before, I don't care about small profits."

Hua Xiong smiled disappreciatively.

Lu Yun frowned slightly.

She didn't expect that Hua Xiong didn't even care about 30 million yuan.

"Hmph, if the adults don't hand it over to our Mi family, I'm afraid that refined salt will not be able to be popularized in Xuzhou."

She wasn't bragging.

Mijia has been operating in Xuzhou for many years and has deep roots.

If you want to target Hua Xiong, it is simply easy.

It's just that this threatening word, coming out of Lu Yun's mouth, has a coquettish meaning.

Instead, it's like I'm coquettish with my lover.

Hua Xiong laughed,

"Miss Luyun, your Mi family is too much to protect itself, do you still want to deal with me?"
