Different from the tense atmosphere of Wulin's preparations, Hanzhong County at this time was still a song and dance.

Lin Chuan warmly received Liu Ba and Liu Zichu, who came to serve, in the Hou Mansion.

"Zichu came from afar, Ben Hou is very happy!"

When they first met, Lin Chuan was very enthusiastic about Liu Ba, and Liu Ba also felt flattered.

"Thank you Lord Hanzhong Hou for your love!"

In the face of the enthusiastic Hanzhong Hou, Liu Ba was also happy that the Hanzhong Hou could discover his talents and reuse them.

"Ben Hou has long heard that Zi Chu has great talents, but at that time, Ben Hou did not have the right thing to let Zi Chu show his strengths."

"Now that Benhou has established the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, he hurriedly brought Zichu to Hanzhong, and I believe that Zichu will definitely make a big difference in Hanzhong!"

Because Lin Chuan understands Liu Ba's character and ability in history, although it is the first time he has met, Lin Chuan, who often deals with the scholars, has also greatly improved his ability to recognize people.

After discovering that Liu Ba's personality was not much different from history, he directly received him warmly and entrusted him with important tasks.

After Liu Ba settled his luggage and family in Hanzhong City, Lin Chuan took Liu Ba to the production base outside the city.

"Zichu, please see, in Benhou's production base now, in addition to cement red bricks, is the water-powered loom."

Lin Chuan introduced all the products currently produced in the production base to Liu Ba.

After seeing the cement, red brick and hydraulic loom one by one, Liu Ba knew that the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce had great potential for development.

First of all, the cement straight, in Liu Ba's eyes, this is the blood vessel of the entire Hanzhong economy.

Besides, this water-powered loom is the heart of the entire Hanzhong economy.

The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce is the bone and flesh of today's Hanzhong economy.

And he, Liu Ba, is about to become the brain of Hanzhong's economy!

After thanking Lin Chuan again for his trust and reuse, Liu Ba immediately began to study the property and sales report of the Chamber of Commerce provided by Lin Chuan, and prepared to thoroughly understand the economic situation in Hanzhong first.

Lin Chuan saw that Liu Ba was first inspecting the economy of Hanzhong, so he was completely relieved of Liu Ba's ability.

After arranging Liu Ba, Lin Chuan began to reply to Cao Cao, who was in Wulin.

Cao Cao wrote to Lin Chuan before, wanting Lin Chuan to come to Wulin to sit together, but Lin Chuan was not interested.

On the battlefield, there are no eyes and arrows, not to mention that Lin Chuan has pointed out to Cao Cao how to win this battle of Chibi.

So Lin Chuan was not in the mood to go to Wulin to witness history, after all, Lin Chuan was not a military general, and as long as Cao Cao's tactics were appropriate, he would definitely push the Sun-Liu coalition army.

So Lin Chuan said in the letter that he had occasionally felt a cold recently, and he had to take the newly arrived Liu Ba to familiarize himself with the environment in Hanzhong, and after he proposed to divide his troops to attack again, he politely declined Cao Cao's invitation.

Ulin, the big tent in the army.

After Cao Cao received Lin Chuan's reply, he was not angry that Lin Chuan did not come to Wulin to take charge.

On the contrary, he was very concerned about Lin Chuan's body, and replied to Lin Chuan to rest well.

"Mr. Lin has helped me a lot, and after the victory of this war, I will go to Hanzhong to thank Mr. Lin in person!"

Cao Cao, who didn't care about planting a flag on his back, was already thinking about what gift would be more suitable for Lin Chuan.

With Lin Chuan's help, Cao Jun was no longer afraid of another plague in the army.

And the modern army training method provided by Lin Chuan also includes the naval army.

Now all the strategists and generals under Cao Cao have led the army to Wulin and the surrounding areas.

In addition to Xiahoudun guarding Xuchang, Cao Ren guarding Jingzhou.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan also personally led a large army to face Cao Cao across the river.

The Sun-Liu coalition army still served as the left and right governors with Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu respectively.

Originally, Sun Quan and Liu Bei also planned to compete with Cao Cao in the naval army first, but Cao Cao, who was well prepared, did not give Sun Liu a chance to join forces.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Cao Cao only had half a day's difference between the march of the navy and the army, and if the navy was attacked on the Yangtze River, the land army could march to support it.

In this way, Cao's army can attack and retreat, and the initiative is firmly in Cao Cao's hands.

As for why he didn't wait for the Sun-Liu coalition to break through before the combined forces, Cao Cao is now full of confidence:

Since your Sun and Liu coalition forces want to complete their efforts in Chibi, why don't I, Cao Cao, plan to do so?!

As a result, Cao Cao's army and the combined army of Sun and Liu continued to converge in Chibi and confront each other across the river.

Hanzhong County, Hanzhong Marquis Mansion.

After Liu Ba came to Hanzhong, after a period of familiarity, he began to gradually take over the affairs of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce from Cao Jie.

Lin Chuan also explained his understanding of the development of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce for Liu Ba from time to time:

"At the beginning of the child, although the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce used cloth as a means of making profits, it will gradually involve all walks of life in the future."

"So you start with the cloth shop now and get acquainted with the various clans in Hanzhong."

After hearing this, Liu Ba nodded and said:

"What the Marquis of Hanzhong said is clear, and I have now begun to gradually contact the county sergeant clan."

Because Liu Ba was recommended by Lin Chuan as the actual manager of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, the scholars were more curious than suspicious of Liu Ba's ability.

After some contact with Liu Ba, the scholars found that Liu Ba was always keenly aware of business opportunities, and he was even more comfortable with various business methods.

Therefore, all the scholars who have come into contact with Liu Ba have a very high opinion of him.

The reputation of the Hou of Hanzhong for his wisdom and wisdom also spread throughout the county again.

Lin Chuan's reputation for the system has also continued to grow.

Seeing that the Chamber of Commerce was on the right track, Liu Ba also began to fully accept the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and Lin Chuan also began to look forward to the results of this battle of Chibi.

Wulin, Cao Cao's camp.

Cheng Yu was facing Cao Cao and said:

"Prime Minister, now that our army has been assembled, grain and grass have arrived. In all important places except Wulin, there were generals leading troops to lead the town. ”

Because the Cao army had the convenience of cement straights, even if the army was twice as large as the Sun-Liu coalition army, the speed of mobilizing troops and grain and grass was still faster than that of the Sun-Liu coalition army.

"I already know the hard work. What happened to the Sun-Liu coalition at this time? ”

When Cao Cao learned that the army and grain and grass had reached Chibi, he inquired about the movements of the Sun-Liu coalition army.

"Most of the Sun-Liu coalition forces have also been assembled, and it is expected that the assembly will be completed in less than three days."

After Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's report, he arranged:

"Zhongde, pass the order, you can't drink alcohol in the army for the past two days!"

Now beer has begun to become popular in the army, and in order not to affect the decisive battle in a few days, the army must ban alcohol.

"Three days later, when the Sun-Liu coalition army is assembled, it will be the time for our army to attack!"

Cao Cao, who had a heavy army, still decided to take the initiative to attack and eat the Sun-Liu coalition army in one fell swoop!

"No!"

Cheng Yu took the order and sent Cao Cao's order to ban alcohol to all parts of the army, and secretly notified the generals everywhere that the decisive battle of Chibi would be held three days later!
