Jiang Ji did not develop a substitute for Shu salt as scheduled, which also represented the defeat of Cao Cao's first economic war.

Now that the matter has come to this, we can only try to make up for it.

You can not wear Shu brocade, but you can't eat salt, right?

After tasting the exquisite Shu salt, who can still let people eat the crude bitter salt?

Cao Cao wanted to lead by example, but after tasting it, he chose to give up.

It's just that Cao Cao took the lead in the economic war, and the initiative after the defeat is now in Liu Bei's hands.

Do you want to buy? Lao Tzu is not selling now!

The salt produced in Shu is enough to support Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou, and it is more than enough to sell it to Sun Quan.

What's more, Liu Mang is even more pacified in Liangzhou, where there are many natural salt ponds.

It's just that Cao Cao was anxious for quick success and didn't go too much to let Liangzhou recuperate.

"Zhuqing, who is willing to go to Chengdu to discuss the resumption of trade exchanges?"

Cao Cao looked at the ministers, he was also bitter now, but people couldn't help but eat salt.

"King Wei, Liu Bei believes in affection, and I recommend these two people to go, and they will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Sima Yi took the initiative to offer advice, mainly because he didn't want to be sent as an envoy again.

Just took this opportunity to let people find out whether Zhuge Liang was assassinated, which really killed two birds with one stone.

"Oh? I don't know who the messenger recommended by Zhongda is? ”

"Back to the King of Wei, Chen Deng's son Chen Su, and Tian Yu!"

Sima Yi showed a playful look on his face and said with a smile: "King Wei, Liu Bei was in Xuzhou back then, and it was Chen Deng who helped him!" ”

"As for Tian Yu, he followed Liu Bei at a young age, if it weren't for his mother's return to his hometown in old age, I am afraid that Liu Bei would have another general by his side."

"These two people have a friendship with Liu Bei, and it is very suitable to serve as envoys! Liu Bei is known for his faith and righteousness, and he will definitely reopen trade! ”

Sima Yi's move is tantamount to moral kidnapping, sending two acquaintances to intercede, how can Liu Bei not agree?

"Good! It's up to Zhongda's plan! Ordered Chen Su and Tian Yu to go to Chengdu as soon as possible! ”

……

Two months later, Chengdu.

Tian Yu agreed to Cao Cao's matter, not because he wanted to make meritorious contributions, but because he wanted to see the country established by Xuande Gong in person.

The dream of the canopy in Lousang Village is now only one step away.

"Uncle Guorang...... Will Xuande Gong really meet me and wait? ”

Chen Su was young and held the position of Langzhong, but he had never seen such a big scene.

The people of Chengdu, everyone is full of smiling faces, there are many street vendors, especially all kinds of snacks emerge in an endless stream, Chen Su can't help but drool.

"Don't worry, Duke Xuande is generous and benevolent, it's just that I and your father Chen Deng have our own difficulties, and we can't follow him."

Tian Yu smiled bitterly, filial piety is quite important in the Han Dynasty, not to mention that he is already filial.

gave up his mother and went to make contributions, Tian Yu couldn't do it, and he wanted to wait until his mother died before joining Liu Bei.

However, the creation of people made people separate, and after all, the two of them were separated.

"When my father was dying, he still regretted that he was born in the Chen family in Xuzhou, which caused him to fail to ...... with Xuande Gong"

Chen Su knew in his heart that the responsibility on his father Chen Deng's shoulders had to defect to Cao Cao for the sake of the family.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, they saw a scribe who had been waiting for a long time.

"In Xia Jiang Wan, but Tian Guorang is the son of Chen Yuanlong?"

Jiang Wan came in person, which can be described as full of courtesy.

"It's the two of us, bothering to inform the king of Hanzhong, so the old man asks to see!"

Tian Yu bowed his hand, and being able to see Liu Bei again even made him a little nervous.

"The king of Hanzhong has already instructed him to entertain old friends, please!"

Tian Yu followed Jiang Wan and walked towards the majestic palace.

"This lord ...... Dare to ask the prince of Hanzhong, what kind of person is he? ”

Tian Yu was quite interested in Liu Mang, don't look at Liu Bei's loss at Cao Cao, but his son can make Cao Cao deflated repeatedly.

"In Xia Jiang Wan, Lord Tian Yu can call me Gongyan."

"The son of my family is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he is as affectionate and righteous as the king of Hanzhong."

"Lord Tian Yu must have brought Cao Cao's mission with him on this trip, but you are an old friend of the king of Hanzhong, and the king still decided to meet you."

When Tian Yu heard this, he couldn't help but blush.

Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king.

At this point, he could only promise Cao Cao and come to persuade Liu Bei to let the two sides restart trade.

"Then Liu Changqing, is it really so powerful?"

Chen Su was a little incredulous, and the two were of the same age.

He relied on Chen Deng's merits and handed over the interests of the Chen family in Xuzhou to serve as Langzhong.

"My son-in-law conquered Jiaozhou, Vayi Prefecture, Pingnanban, and Xiliang."

"Laughing dozens of battles, rampant in the world, never invincible."

"I don't know what merits Lord Chen Su has now?"

Chen Su's face turned red when he heard this, Jiang Wan's last sentence was simply murderous!

Fortunately, the road was not far, and the two finally met Liu Bei as they wished.

It was the first time Chen Su had met Liu Bei, this person was seven feet five inches long, with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands above his knees, his eyes could take care of his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like grease.

"Guorang, I really want to wait!"

"Meet the King of Hanzhong below!"

Tian Yu bowed and saluted, but Liu Bei stepped forward and grabbed Tian Yu's hand and stopped his red tape.

"Could it be the son of Yuanlong? You're going to call me uncle! ”

After that, the other hand held Chen Su.

This kind of approachable and intimate feeling is something that Chen Su has never felt in front of Cao Cao.

For a moment, Chen Su actually wanted to work for Liu Bei directly!

Isn't this Liu Bei's charm?

"Guorang, how have you been doing all these years?"

Liu Bei personally poured tea and wine for the two, and Tian Yu and Chen Su were all flattered.

The man who was Cao Cao's old enemy was so polite to them!

The person who is a confidant dies, and Tian Yuhu has tears in his eyes.

"Good...... It's not good ......."

"Yu can finally defend the frontier for the country, but he can never serve the army!"

Liu Bei was full of emotion, and he could only say that creation made people.

"It doesn't matter! A big husband should make meritorious deeds, how can he be a little woman? ”

"Come, I am very happy to be reunited with the national envoy today!"

The three of them drank this cup together, and Chen Su did not forget the mission he came to this time.

"The King...... I wonder if you can reopen business with Centaline? ”

"If there is no Shu salt, I am afraid that the people of the Central Plains will have to eat bitter salt again."

As soon as Chen Su's words came out, Tian Yu was a little worried, and Liu Bei also showed a bitter look on his face.

"Alas! To tell you the truth, don't look at what kind of king I am now. ”

"Actually, it's not as good as Cao Cao!"

"I've been like a puppet all these years, and I've been hollowed out by that rebel a long time ago!"

"If you want to talk about political affairs, you have to go to Gangneung to find that rebel!"

Liu Bei simply threw the pot to his own son, which had to mention Zhuge Liang's advice.

Since the other party has grasped that Liu Bei attaches great importance to affection, let Liu Mang solve this matter!

"This ......"

Chen Su wanted to talk about this matter again, but was stopped by Tian Yu with his eyes.

Liu Bei threw the pot to the "rebel", and the two of them had to go to Jiangling again.
