Han counter current

The newly opened inn seemed to have received a lot of attention. Some city gate guards and officials came to the banquet. It seemed that this inn had given them a lot of benefits.

In fact, this inn does have a very good relationship with them. Few people know that before this inn opens, these city gate guards and officials have already determined how much money they will get from this inn every year. dividends.

This is also the key reason why this inn was able to open smoothly and faintly suppress Yuelai Inn.With the help of these local snakes, even if Yuelai Inn has been open for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the run on this newly opened inn.

"The Yuan brothers are quite quiet for the time being, it seems that we have to persuade the Lord to do something to them."

As Cao Cao's intelligence officer, Cheng Yu has just finished reading all the news about the Yuan brothers: "Chen Feng in Liaoxi is also quieter now, it seems that the master's plan to support Gongsun Xu has achieved results.

If another group of people are sent to Liaodong to lurk down, and at the same time create news that Chen Feng is going to be unfavorable to Gongsun Xu, I am afraid that Liaodong and Liaoxi will not be peaceful, hehe, interesting. "

It has become his habit for Cheng Yu to talk to himself every time he reads a few reports.

"The two inns are fighting for business?" Cheng Yu shook his head with a piece of information about Xu Du and said with a smile: "My lord thinks highly of Xu Du, and even such small news has to be passed on.

Hmph, it seems that this newly opened inn has connections with some officials. Could it be that the lord is worried that those people with ulterior motives will use this inn to gather strength?

It shouldn't be that a mere inn can cause much trouble. "

"Huh? Mr. Zhang and Mr. Pi almost fought over a servant?"

Cheng Yu took the last piece of information and smiled wryly: "Will this involve the issue of heirs, the lord is still young, so he won't think too much about this issue.

And the eldest son died to protect the lord, presumably the lord wants to avoid this topic for the time being, alas, if this continues, the brotherhood between the young masters will fade..."

"Cao Pi has crooked thoughts about Ling'er, hum."

In the basement of the newly opened backyard of the inn, Gao Zhong was holding a piece of information about Lu Lingqi.

"We can't delay any longer. After planning for so long, there is only one chance left. I think Cao Cao will make a big move after the spring, and he will do it at that time."

Outsiders only know that this newly opened inn is opened by a middle-aged man from outside, but no one knows that even this middle-aged man will eventually obey the orders of the young man Gao Zhong, and even the Yuelai Inn opposite Also like this.

Cao Cao, who has been quiet for a few months, has been waiting for an opportunity. Since the Battle of Guandu, he knew that he had the opportunity to dominate Hebei and shake the world.

Now the Yuan brothers blocked his footsteps, and Chen Feng disrupted his plan before, which made him postpone his plan to capture Hebei.

But now, Cao Cao's opportunity is coming soon.

The Yuan brothers in Hebei have always been at odds. Although there has been no major move recently, the detailed work has brought back the news that Yuan Tan is going to attack Yuan Shang.For this situation, Cao Cao is very happy to see.

"After spring plowing, send troops to Hebei to destroy the remnants of the Yuan family and take all the rich and prosperous lands in Hebei."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao, I plan to take Hebei within two years, and then follow the trend to attack Jingzhou. What do you think?"

"My lord is very courageous, and I will be the hero of the world. However, our army has been fighting for years, and the supplies in the rear are insufficient. I am afraid that it cannot withstand such consumption. If the lord can..."

"Haha, Feng Xiao is too worried, but we have time to breathe, but why not our opponents."

Cao Cao waved his hand. He and Guo Jia have never agreed on this issue, but fortunately, the most critical issues are not these, so the two are just discussing and discussing.

"By the way, there is news from Xizuo that this thief Chen Feng is getting married. It is said that he is going to marry Master Cai..." Cao Cao's tone was a little angry, and at the same time there was a hint of jealousy.

"Really? Alas,,,,,," Guo Jia turned his back and looked out of the window, some fragments of his youth flashed through his mind. At that time, he was running to listen to Cai Yong's lecture, and accidentally saw Cai Yan playing the piano. The figure left an imprint on his mind.

"Chen Feng, Southern Huns,,,,,,"

When Guo Jia uttered these words, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily. His usual innocent smile was gone, and an inexplicable anger shot out from his eyes.

The same is true of Cao Cao next to him. Although he concealed it well, his eyes showed his unwillingness.It seems that, inadvertently, Chen Feng became rivals in love with these two opponents.If Chen Feng knew what these two were thinking, he might wake up laughing from his dreams.

Chapter 117 Liaodong Storm 1

The cold wind is still howling in the land of western Liaoning, and the fields far away from villages and cities are covered with heavy snow, which seems lifeless in this weather.

Even beasts that have accumulated thick fat before winter are hiding at this time, hoping that the winter will pass soon.

Because the Liaoxi army had seized some coastal sites in Liaodong before, many poor people have gathered on these sites.

Even some grassland nomadic tribes who could hardly survive the cold winter rushed to the coastal areas to spend the winter in the wind and snow.

After all, Chen Feng and Gongsun Xu didn't want to tear their skins head-on. The two sides took the city they currently occupied as the boundary and did not invade each other for the time being.

After all, it is extremely dangerous to start a war in this kind of weather.Chen Feng didn't have much interest in some cities in Liaodong, and Gongsun Xu didn't care much about the coastal areas currently occupied by the Liaoxi Army.

In order to express his goodwill, Gongsun Xu took advantage of the good weather to send a batch of grain, grass, luggage and livestock to the Liaoxi Army in exchange for the surplus salt, armor and weapons in the Liaoxi Army.

And with Chen Feng's acquiescence, the Liaoxi Army stationed by the sea also maintained a certain friendly attitude towards Gongsun Xu's troops.

"Gongsun Kang's family's decades of accumulation were all owned by Gongsun Xu when they changed hands. In addition, he has summoned nearly [-] old minions during this period. This is not a small force."

Chen Feng pointed to an area representing Liaodong on the sand table and said with a smile: "If I were Cao Cao, I would try my best to win over Gongsun Xu."

"We can't stop Cao Cao's methods, but we can change Gongsun Xu's direction."

Jia Xu pointed to the area east of Liaodong.

"Wuhuan, Sanhan, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses in these places, and there are endless captives. Moreover, these places were once conquered by Gongsun Kang, which shows that it is not difficult to attack these places."

"So, we can support him with salt and weapons, so that Liaodong soldiers will have opponents. No matter how hard Cao Cao tries to win over and instigate him, we will not fight with Gongsun Xu in Liaodong, right?"

"Yes, Cao Cao wants to win over Gongsun Xu, hehe, we are also here to win him over, Cao Cao can only give some official positions, without any real things, we are different.

If Liaodong wants to get any material, it has to be approved by us, and the lord can marry him, what do you think? "

"Ah, this is inappropriate. I'm going to marry Yan'er soon, and Yue'er is still angry about this matter."

"The two of you marry together, don't tell me you don't want to, if you get things done here, the relationship between Liaodong and us will be more stable.

In this way, Cao Cao will either increase his bargaining chips and continue to win over Gongsun Xu, or give up Gongsun Xu completely.

However, it was not easy for someone to be wooed, and he had invested so much before, so I don't think Cao Cao would just give up.

As long as we don't increase the chips quickly, at least let Cao Cao see what we can give, and he can give it too, so, hehe,,,,,, "

"Thanks to Cao Cao, rich Gongsun Xu, so why not do it, hahaha,,,,,,"

In Liaodong, under Gongsun Xu's series of methods, the forces that had been ignorant of him were hit hard.

At the beginning of occupying Liaodong, Gongsun Xu had only a few thousand soldiers and horses. Regarding the army left by Gongsun Kang, he really didn't dare to act rashly.

After his old troops arrived one after another, those generals who were still on the sidelines had to bow their heads and accept Gongsun Xu's adaptation.

Fortunately, Gongsun Xu did not deprive them of too much power. At the same time, in order to appease these generals, Gongsun Xu transferred a lot of supplies from the treasury.

"Outsiders think that I have summoned 3 old ministries. If they know that there are more than 2 old and weak women and children among the [-] people, I am afraid that Liaodong will become uneasy."

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu frowned. There were too many things for him to deal with in Liaodong, and the local forces alone were enough to worry him.
