Chapter 13 Bet

Regarding the Xuzhou incident, Chen Yang believed that he could not fight. After hearing his words, Cao Cao directly rejected all the decisions he had made before.

Guo Jia was already convinced by Chen Yang's business ability and his brain for making some small inventions, and knew that he was not as good as him.

However, Guo Jia believes that he is no different from anyone in terms of making suggestions, handling internal affairs and analyzing the situation.

Hearing Guo Jia ask this question, Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I said Lao Guo, this is something that the Prime Minister will consider. What does it have to do with you?"

"Whether Xuzhou should be fought, the prime minister must have a clear idea, and there is no need for Lao Cao to offer advice, right?"

Guo Jia remembered that he could not reveal his identity, so he could only smile and said, "I am just curious and want to hear what you said by Manager Chen."

Chen Yang thought for a while, but did not doubt the others, and said, "What I told Lao Cao last time that Lu Bu and Liu Bei were both in Xuzhou. Sooner or later, it would be the most convenient for them to kill each other. If the Prime Minister sends troops to attack, they will definitely resist the Prime Minister together. Therefore, Xuzhou can only take it slowly and not be too hasty."

"Also, there are Yuan Shu who covet Xuzhou. Some time ago, Lu Bu almost married his daughter to Yuan Shu's son. This is also Yuan Shu's trick to plot against Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou must be the prime minister's possession, but there is no need to worry at the moment. The prime minister's advisers must have thought of this. So far, there is no military strategy for Xuzhou."

As the chief strategist of Boss Cao, Guo Jia listened to Chen Yang's words and felt that it was very reasonable.

However, Guo Jia asked again: "Shopkeeper Chen, when do you think you will be able to take Xuzhou?"

Chen Yang said: "Old Cao, do you remember that the Yuan Shu that I told you would be the emperor? Just after he became emperor, Xuzhou can get it!"

Will Yuan Shu be the emperor?

This is not the first time Guo Jia has heard of it. Cao Ang told him once half a month ago.

"I said to Manager Chen, you must be wrong this time. How could Yuan Shu be the emperor? Unless he is a fool!" Guo Jia shook his head and said.

Although the world is in chaos now, the Liu Han Dynasty is still orthodox. Once he is called emperor, no matter who he is, he will become the enemy of the princes in the world like stabbing a hornet's nest.

Even if Cao Cao took his son hostage, he would not dare to rashly proclaim himself emperor, because the Han Dynasty had not been completely cut off, and no one wanted to be the first real thief.

Cao Cao had heard Chen Yang mention this for the third time, and couldn't help but frown and asked: "Shopkeeper Chen, why are you so sure that Yuan Shu will be the emperor?"

Chen Yang said slowly: "First of all, the Yuan family's four generations and three kings, as a descendant of a famous family, had a great family and a large number of famous generals and capable ministers, and this person was extremely ambitious and wanted to be an emperor for a long time. Secondly, he obtained the imperial seal and believed that he was destined to be a destiny. Seeing the decline of the Han Dynasty, he could no longer wait and wanted to replace him."

Cao Cao and the others knew about the imperial seal, but were not surprised.

After listening to this analysis, Cao Cao was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Nevertheless, I still think it is impossible. Yuan Shu will not perish himself."

Guo Jia shook his head stubbornly and said, "The emperor is in Xudu. Although the Han Dynasty has declined, it still exists. He is the rebellion of his proclaimed emperor. At that time, like the conquest of Dong Zhuo, no princes in the world will let him go!"

"The world's major events are all in my control. If I say that Yuan Shu will rebel, he will definitely do it."

Chen Yang said confidently: "Besides, Lao Guo, do you think the world today can still be the same as it was back then? Even if Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, there will be no more eighteen princes in the town gathering together."

This sentence surprised Guo Jia slightly.

The princes in the world had different hearts and could never go back to the time when Dong Zhuo was conquered.

Even when they were fighting against Dong Zhuo, they had their own ulterior motives and refused to use their full strength.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I really don't agree with your words. Your way will only slow down the Prime Minister's attack on Xuzhou."

Guo Jia shook his head in disbelief and said, "These are just your guesses, and they are unfounded. I don't know if it will happen."

"What, Lao Guo, don't believe it?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I don't believe it!"

In Guo Jia's view, Chen Yang's analysis of Yuan Shu also has many speculations.

Cao Cao looked at them quietly without talking. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to truly judge Chen Yang's level.

After all, I have known Chen Yang for so long, so many things are just talked about in the tavern.

Although Chen Yang guessed correctly in the last battle in Wancheng, Cao Cao still had his own considerations.

"It seems that Lao Guo, you are very confident in your inference. Since that's the case, why don't we bet? Will you bet on whether Yuan Shu will be the emperor?"

"What are you betting on?"

"If I lose, I will give you the technique of bartending and coarse salt purification to you without conditions."

Chen Yang said: "If you lose, Lao Guo... my only residence in Xudu is this tavern. It's so simple. I see that you are dressed well and not a poor person, so you can give me a mansion."

"this……"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, but he was unsure of his mind.

Whether it is bartending technology or salt technology, it is of epoch-making significance, so Guo Jia naturally wanted it.

However, seeing that Cao Cao is so kind to Chen Yang, Guo Jia dared not bet with him, for fear of making Cao Cao not very happy.

"Since Lao Guo has confidence in him, he is not afraid of gamble." Cao Cao laughed.

After hearing that Boss Cao had already agreed, Guo Jia slapped the table and said, "Okay! Boss Chen, I'll bet with you."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Old Guo, just prepare the mansion for me. I will never lose, haha..."

Seeing that Chen Yang seemed to be overconfident, Cao Cao sighed, feeling that Manager Chen was a little excited today, maybe he was drunk.

No one can tell what will happen in the future.

Perhaps Manager Chen can only do business and help him make money. He has to rely on Guo Jia for internal affairs.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Cao Cao said again: "Shopkeeper Chen, it's time for me to go back. Can you bring some of your wine back? Only in this way can I help you get the reputation of your wine."

Chen Yang thought that he was reluctant to invest, so how could there be a reward?

"Old Cao, wait. This time the wine will not be charged. Take it back and convince the Prime Minister as soon as possible. You can get the salt mines slowly, but the wine must be sold as soon as possible. As long as you have money, you can raise the grain price."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen and then brought out two jars of wine.

As soon as Guo Jia saw the wine, his eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a jar and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'm waiting for your brewing method."

Chen Yang also smiled and said, "Old Guo, I'm waiting for you to send me to my mansion."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Guo Jia had forgotten the dissatisfaction with Chen Yang at first. Although he was a little angry when he made a bet, it also brought him closer to Chen Yang.

Afterwards, Cao Cao and the others left the tavern, and Dian Wei followed him.

Finally, after seeing them off, Chen Yang, who was drinking a little, shook his head and woke up as much as possible.
