Yuan Yao sent someone to ask Yuan Yin, intending to pay to buy some coarse salt from Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yin controlled the salt mines of the imperial court, and although the coarse salt under Yuan Shu's command was not much, there was no problem in selling some to Yuan Yao.

And the price given is not too expensive, as long as Yuan Yao's price of 3,000 yuan a stone.

After all, these coarse salts are not Yuan Yin's own, but owned by the treasury, and Yuan Yin cannot be directly given to Yuan Yao.

As for Yuan Yao, the price of three thousand yuan a stone is indeed not expensive, and he is not short of money now, so with a wave of his hand, he directly bought him fifty stones first.

When the time comes, you will be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from this.

In addition to the purchase of coarse salt, the other two news gave Yuan Yao a headache.

One is that Sun Ce of Jiangdong, after learning that Yuan Shu was called emperor, had already written a letter to Yuan Shu and officially tore his face with Yuan Shu.

Not only that, Sun Ce also directly led the soldiers and horses, occupied Danyang County, and drove out the Danyang Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu. At the same time, he persuaded Wu Jing, the Taishou of Guangling, under Yuan Shu, to betray Yuan Shu together.

Because Guangling Taishou Wu Jing is Sun Ce's own uncle, Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu and became independent, and Wu Jing naturally supported his nephew, there is no doubt about it.

Sun Ce's move made Yuan Shu, who originally occupied a large territory in Yangzhou, suddenly suffer a big blow.

Sun Ce also went from a small prince who originally only occupied one Wu County to a powerful person in the land of three counties.

The original thousands of soldiers and horses under Sun Ce's command also rapidly expanded to 30,000 troops in a short period of time.

Moreover, Sun Ce is still fighting the idea of Huiji County and Lujiang County.

Although he did not directly lead the troops and horses to attack Yuan Shu's territory, he already had the intention of rebelling against Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce's behavior made Yuan Shu furious, and scolded Sun Ce for being an ungrateful villain at the court meeting.

However, Yuan Shu really didn't dare to immediately lead his troops and horses to fight back against Sun Ce's behavior.

Although Yuan Shu had a tendon in his brain, he was not stupid, and knew that his biggest enemies were Cao Cao and Lu Bu in the north, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the west.

If he fights with Sun Ce at this moment, he will definitely take care of the front and tail, and when Cao Liu is alone, he will lead his soldiers and horses to crusade against him, and Yuan Shu will be very stressed.

Anyway, Yuan Shu didn't take Sun Ce seriously, and he needed to stabilize his basic plate first.

Yang Hong, a strategist under Yuan Shu, gave Yuan Shu an idea.

Although Cao Cao is a threat, he can first win over Lu Bu and let Lu Bu contain Cao Cao, and when there is no threat, Yuan Shu can free his hands to deal with Sun Ce.

When Yuan Shu heard it, he felt that it was feasible, and the relationship between him and Lu Bu was not bad, not to mention, he also made a family agreement with Lu Bu last year, as long as the children were married, Lu Bu would become his own in-laws, and the two sides would marry Qin and Jin.

When the time comes, Lu Bu will naturally have the same heart as him.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Yao, but when Yuan Shu asked Lu Bu to marry Lu Bu last year, he asked Yuan Yao to marry Lu Bu's daughter.

In this way, this matter is related to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Shu planned to summon Yuan Yao back to Shouchun and let Yuan Yao take people to Xuzhou to marry Lu Bu's daughter.

Now the person who delivered the news was afraid that he was already on the way, and in a few days, it would be delivered to Yuan Yao's hands.

After listening to the news from his subordinates, Yuan Yao was stunned for a while.

There was a slight solemnity on his face, and he began to think about the impact of these two things on him.

First is Sun Ce, Sun Ce's strength should not be underestimated, this person inherited the courage of his father Sun Jian, and even surpassed it.

In addition, a large number of people with lofty ideals have been absorbed, so that those famous generals and celebrities are willing to take refuge in him, and now under Sun Ce's command, there are a large number of famous generals and strategists who are known only to Yuan Yao.

Let Sun Ce develop for another two years, and the entire Jiangdong will be his, so it is impossible for Yuan Yao to let Sun Ce develop like this.

He must take Lujiang County, or even Yuzhang County, as soon as possible, and occupy a county in order to be able to slowly compete with Sun Ce.

And the second marriage is also of great significance to Yuan Yao.

According to Yuan Yao's memory of history, the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu was actually approved of by Lu Bu himself.

Because, when Yuan Shu sent someone to pick up Lu Bu's daughter, if Lu Bu didn't agree with it at the beginning, he would refuse on the spot.

But Lu Bu first agreed to the marriage, let his daughter leave with the welcoming team, and only later regretted it, and sent someone to chase after him and robbed his daughter back.

It is also because of this that Yuan Shu was furious, which was equivalent to nakedly slapping Yuan Shu's face, and Yuan Shu directly raised tens of thousands of troops to attack Lu Bu.

In the end, he suffered a big defeat, not to mention the loss of troops, and lost a lot of territory in a row.

It was also from this time that Yuan Shu, the overlord of Huainan, began to perish.

Assuming that Yuan Yao can facilitate the marriage between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, can he delay Yuan Shu's defeat and add some time to himself to strengthen?

What's more, the object of marriage is himself.

He was going to marry Lu Bu's daughter, according to his memory, Lu Bu's daughter seemed to be named Lu Lingqi, although he didn't know if the other party was good-looking, but he definitely inherited Lu Bu's bravery.

If there is such a lady, it is not impossible.

At least, through Lu Lingqi, Yuan Yao can climb Lu Bu's thigh.

In addition to these, there is another benefit, that is, to go to Xuzhou, Yuan Yao can take advantage of the situation to make friends with the Xuzhou tyrants.

Yuan Yao wants to do business, he wants to sell his own fine salt, just sell it to those big families little by little, and it is not easy to make money in a short time.

After all, if this thing wants to open up sales, it still needs channels.

And Yuan Yao has no channels, while Xuzhou Mi family has.

Mijia in Jiangdong, Xuzhou, have their own sales channels, if Yuan Yao can unite with Mijia, not to mention dozens of stones of fine salt, is a few times more, should also be able to sell out in a short period of time.

In this way, you can also make him millions of dollars.

Once you get acquainted with the Mi family, it will be easier to do some other business in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao felt that it was still necessary to go to Xuzhou this time.

Sure enough, Yuan Yao's side began to prepare for refining fine salt, and within two days, a team of scouts came to Qianxian County to deliver news to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Shu ordered Yuan Yao to return to Shouchun as soon as possible, and there was something important to discuss.

If Yuan Yao didn't receive the news that Yuan Yin sent to him, then he really had some doubts and didn't dare to go back easily.

Now that he knew the purpose of returning to Shouchun, he did not hesitate.

Leaving a small number of people to continue to operate industries in Qianxian County, Yuan Yao soon reorganized his soldiers and horses and returned to Shouchun.
