Cao Mengde's life is not very good. The food shortage has become a bit serious recently. However, he heard from Xun Yu that the food in Lu State is almost ripe. He is ready to learn from the Yellow Turban, but he will not be as stupid as the Yellow Turban.
Not a single inch of land was left behind. If Cao Cao wanted to build a grain-producing land for himself, it didn't need to be too big. It just needed to be able to ensure that his soldiers would have enough food.
Cao Cao envied Liu Bei every time he thought about the fact that he only had five days of food for the expedition. Taishan itself produced a lot of food, and it was backed by Xuzhou. With the strong support of Tao Gongzu, Chen Zichuan attacked Jizhou and emptied the entire Nanpi granary.
, Mi Zi Zhong, the world's most wealthy businessman, vigorously exported grain. The Lu family's water transport in Jiangdong continued to flow, and a large amount of grain was transported to various places in Mount Tai and Qingzhou. He even ate more than a million Yellow Turbans to ensure that there would be no chaos.
Cao Cao knew very well that he had to speed up as soon as possible. Liu Xuande was developing too fast. It would only take two years at most to completely digest the entire Qingzhou. And Cao Mengde, at least this year, had been wasted. Without food, there was no way to develop. Everything was needed.
Around the food.
"Wen Ruo, when will we take action?" Cao Cao sighed and said. Yuzhou's wealth made Cao Cao envious. If all the soldiers in his hands were veterans, he would not need to be so taboo. He was confident that even if his military strength was not as good as Yuan Shu's, he would not be so jealous.
He will not suffer any loss at the hands of Yuan Shu.
"We'll have to wait another three days for Zhicai to arrange Jingzhou. It's a pity that Liu Jingsheng didn't accept our kindness. In this case, he will have to hold Yuan Gongli back." Xun Yu said helplessly, Liu Yan's power
It was so big that Xun Yu faced this kind of talkative celebrity for the first time. He never expected that such a talkative celebrity would get into such big trouble after meeting someone like Liu Biao.
To be honest, in the past year, Liu Yan has spent official money to invite celebrities from all over the world to sing, dance, and have banquets, or to write poems and play the piano. In addition, this guy is really capable in poetry and music, so he can invite all the celebrities regardless of the cost.
He invited all the famous people, and people like Xu Zijiang could appear at his dinner. One can imagine how famous this guy is in the celebrity circle now.
Because of this, the arrival of Liu Yan from the north caused a stir in the whole Jingzhou. Jingzhou was originally dominated by scholars. With such a well-known figure coming, naturally Jingzhou scholars gathered around Liu Jingsheng to welcome Liu Yan, a famous scholar.
Of course, in addition to Liu Yan's original fame and spending money to hire people regardless of the cost, in fact Liu Yan only gained this status because he did a big thing! Otherwise, he would not be as famous as he is now!
If you want to ask what great things Liu Yan has done, it is simple. Chen Xi cast the halo of the reform paper on Liu Yan, and Liu Yan instantly became a famous person in the country. His whole person was like a firefly in the night. No matter how much he covered it up, Liu Yan could not be covered up.
With his celebrity temperament, he created such treasures that are conducive to the inheritance of civilization in the world. Naturally, Liu Yan is no longer the small celebrity he used to be. I didn’t see that when he first arrived in Jingzhou, those older generation Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, and Sima Huidu
Came to welcome you.
The great cause of inheriting the world's cultural affairs was solved by Liu Yan. Why didn't such people come to greet them in person? Therefore, when Liu Yan came to Jingzhou to greet the people, even Liu Yan himself felt frightened. This kind of treatment was really unbearable.
Liu Jingsheng personally held a banquet and invited Liu Yan to attend. As for Cao Mengde's contact with Mao Jie to attack Yuan Shu, he was immediately forgotten. Liu Biao had been hesitating whether to fight recently, but now that a famous person came from the north, could he not be so disappointed?
What's the rush?
Liu Biao knew best that if someone he didn't know well asked him to do something in a hurry, it would definitely be good for the other person, but it was not necessarily good for him, so Liu Biao was not in a hurry and chatted with Liu Yan while having fun.
Liu Yan may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to his words, demeanor, appearance, and expression, he is the best choice. In addition, he has a big aura, and he attracts everyone's attention wherever he goes.
"Yan came from the north. Thanks to all the princes, he holds banquets every day. I heard that Mr. Jing Sheng has the title of Sanya. I have good wine from the north. You are willing to give it a try!" Liu Yan said loudly.
The past few days have been very good, and they are here purely for tourism. According to Chen Xi, they are not here to be lobbyists, but to visit, so Liu Yan is open-minded and has no selfish motives. He naturally drinks and eats.
There is no hint of flattery in his poems and poems, and he looks like a magnanimous gentleman.
As for Jian Yong, he has been thrown into a corner, but Jian Yong is not upset. Since Liu Yan can do better, he will not care about being left out. He can clearly distinguish what is more serious and less serious.
And Jian Yong also understands why Chen Xi doesn't care what he says, as long as he shows his morale, he can only say that it is the person who uses the method.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Wei Shuo to be so magnanimous and give me the title of Sanya." Liu Biaolang said with a smile. His drinking capacity was not an exaggeration.
Soon three large glasses came up, and Liu Yan laughed, "As expected of Jing Shenggong's wine lord, it is really big enough, but how can there be a good wine lord without good wine!" After saying this, he clapped his hands, and a waiter brought him
A jar of wine was brought up.
"Jing Shenggong invited me. This is the fine wine I bought in the north. It is an unparalleled strong wine. I would like to use this wine to toast you today!" After saying this, he slapped the mud seal, and a draft swept through the hall.
The whole hall was filled with the aroma of wine.
Liu Biao himself was a good drinker, so naturally he smelled it when Liu Yan opened the mud seal of the wine jar. The strong aroma of wine was very tempting.
Liu Yan carefully filled three glasses for Liu Biao. The color of the wine was comparable to the clear spring on the stone, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing. Then the jar of wine was circled, just enough for everyone.
"Okay, okay, it's been a long time!" Liu Biao drank all the strong wine in Ji Ya in one gulp. In an instant, he seemed to have swallowed a ball of fire, but the burning heat in that moment turned into warmth in the next moment, and Liu Biao's whole body was filled with excitement.
I am intoxicated with this feeling and fascinated by it!
"Pa~" A celebrity fell to the ground, and the dizzy Liu Biao laughed, "Someone will come and take the needle to wake up the alien, let's continue drinking!"
But before he finished speaking, Liu Biao also lay on the table within a few seconds, and continued to drink while still mumbling.
After carrying everyone out, Liu Yan smiled at Jian Yong and said that the matter was done. If someone like Liu Biao drinks five liters at a time, even if he wakes up, he will not have five days to relax. Don't think about dealing with government affairs. Moreover, this
Mao Jie was also knocked unconscious once, and Cao Cao's request for joint troops was considered a shame in a short time!
What Liu Yan and Jian Yong didn't know was that Xi Zhicai didn't pay attention to Mao Jie as an envoy at all. His habit was to do things himself, and it was unreliable to rely on others, especially after knowing that Lu Bu had now fled to Yuan Shu.
My subordinate, Xi Zhicai almost shouted, "God help me!"
Now Dexi Zhicai is sweating coldly when he sees the latest information coming from Jingzhou. It is so thorough at this time, what a surprise! (To be continued...)
