Chapter 5 Xuzhou can't fight for the time being

The aroma of wine just appeared, and as the alcohol evaporated, it instantly merged into the air, and the tavern was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

"What a fragrant wine!"

The wines of this era do not have this fragrance at all.

This is the first time that the Cao family and his son knew that wine can be so mellow, which completely subverted their understanding of wine.

However, before they could drink the wine, they were already intoxicated.

The first thing that came to his senses was Cao Ang. He stood up, snatched the bottle of wine in Chen Yang's hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said intoxicatedly: "What kind of wine is this? It's so fragrant, it's completely different from the wine I know."

He desperately poured himself a cup and tasted it carefully.

The aroma of wine and osmanthus nectar blends perfectly together, and it is a little spicy just in the mouth. After the taste buds are familiar with this feeling, the taste will be excellent.

Cao Ang drank it in one sip and exclaimed: "It smells so good..."

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's nectar. I've never drunk such a good wine."

He had forgotten that he had just said that Chen Yang had no good wine.

"It's really that good?"

Cao Cao was also surprised and quickly poured himself a cup and then he exclaimed in an instant!

With Cao Cao's current status, all the tribute wine in the palace can be drunk frequently.

However, compared with Chen Yang's wine, the difference is really nectar and jade liquid.

Chen Yang could not have imagined that the two big and small Cao were still drunks. He reminded: "Don't drink so urgently, this kind of alcohol is very powerful."

Cao Cao reluctantly put down his wine glass and exclaimed: "That's right, you should taste such a good wine carefully. It can be said that one sip will be reduced."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "I brewed the wine. As long as the money is in place, you can get as much as you want."

"real?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Cao Ang also looked at Chen Yang in surprise, and they didn't let go of drinking until Chen Yang nodded.

"By the way, Manager Chen, you said that Zhang Xiu would rebel if he pretended to surrender. Even Guo Jia, the first counselor around the Prime Minister, could not calculate this. I am very curious, how did you know?"

While drinking, Cao Cao took this opportunity to ask for doubts in his heart.

"I have said that there is nothing I don't know about this big thing in the world." Chen Yang said.

Cao Cao laughed: "Shopkeeper Chen, since you have great talents, can you give me advice? Then I will ask the Prime Minister to offer advice. If it is true, rewards will definitely be indispensable. We also have some money to spend."

After hearing what he said, Chen Yang nodded in agreement. This is indeed a good way to make money.

"I didn't expect that Lao Cao, you can still give advice to the Prime Minister. Your status in the Cao family must be quite good, right?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

Cao Cao was looked at by Chen Yang, and suddenly felt guilty and laughed dryly: "Actually, I am the clan brother of General Cao Ren's nephew, the uncle's cousin, and the real relative of the Cao family can of course get in touch with the prime minister."

"Awesome!"

Chen Yang gave him a thumbs up.

The relationships in ancient big families were very complicated. It was not easy to have the surname Cao after these series of relationships.

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction and asked him again: "Shopkeeper Chen, this time the Prime Minister attacked Wancheng, despite many twists and turns, he finally succeeded. The only pity was that Zhang Xiu escaped and surrendered to Liu Biao. What should he do next?"

Chen Yang said: "Zhang Xiu is not important to the Prime Minister. If you escape, just run away. Even if he does, he will not cause any storm."

"I think the Prime Minister is the most urgent thing to do at the moment, right?"

When talking about Xuzhou, Cao Cao was immediately angry, but his anger was soon suppressed, and he said coldly: "When Tao Qian instigated his subordinates and killed the Prime Minister's father, we Cao's family will avenge this. At that time, the Prime Minister had just attacked Xuzhou, but the three surnames of Lu Bu came to sneak attack Yanzhou and occupied Puyang, leaving us back in vain."

"Xuzhou is now a thorn in the prime minister's heart. I'm afraid that I will not have to go to war with the prime minister again. We will never know when we will meet again when we leave."

"That's it?"

Chen Yang heard Cao Cao's words and laughed: "Don't worry, Lao Cao, Xuzhou can't fight for the time being."

"Oh! Why?"

Cao Cao and Cao Ang both looked at Chen Yang curiously.

Not long after returning from Wancheng, Cao Cao had already asked someone to prepare food and grass to conquer Xuzhou again.

Chen Yang's words made him hesitate again.

Cao Ang said in confusion: "If you don't attack Xuzhou, how can you avenge the Prime Minister's revenge?"

Chen Yang analyzed for them: "Now Lu Bu turned his back and occupied Xuzhou, driving Liu Bei to Xiaopei. Although both of them had their own ulterior motives, once the Prime Minister sent troops to attack, he would definitely be resisted by them, and it was very unpleasant."

"On the contrary, if Xuzhou is put aside for the time being, they will definitely be in the same position as the fire and water. They both said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Isn't it good to watch them fight each other and then pick up the bargain?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "But I think you are worried for nothing. The Prime Minister has many advisers. He must have thought of this a long time ago, and there is no need for you to offer advice."

"this……"

Cao Cao and Cao Ang looked at each other and were very surprised.

The current situation in Xuzhou was revealed by Chen Yang in one sentence, and it can be analyzed so thoroughly.

"According to what Zhanggui Chen, you said, when will Xuzhou get it?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking again.

"There is no hurry now. I said before that Yuan Shu will be the emperor. It will not be too late to visit Xuzhou when that time."

As he said that, Chen Yang remembered this history, and he said: "The so-called three armies should not move, food and grass should be taken first. Lao Cao, go back and tell the Prime Minister that the most important thing at the moment is to prepare food, the more the better, and it will definitely be a great achievement."

This confused Cao Cao and asked, "Why?"

Chen Yang said mysteriously: "I watched the astrological signs last night. This year, there will be a spring drought, and the crop harvest will be greatly reduced. You said you want to fight, but how can you fight without food?"

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you still know how to see the astrological signs?" Cao Cao said in surprise.

"Of course, there is nothing I don't understand. Lao Cao, go back and prepare quickly, and you will be grateful to me soon." Chen Yang said, and he also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly.

He was wondering, can you believe Chen Yang's words?

"Father, I'm just starting spring now, and I don't know if there will be a spring drought. I don't have to rush to offer advice."

Cao Ang reminded: "And it is impossible for Yuan Shu to be emperor, unless Yuan Shu wants to seek death."

"If the drought really occurs, the food prices will definitely soar. It will be too late at that time. If you don't believe it, just pretend that I have never said anything." Chen Yang spread his hands casually.

The rewards for advice are too far away. It sounds good, but it is too difficult to think about it carefully.

Chen Yang had no ambitions and was just thinking about how to sell these wines to make a lot of money.

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "It's just your guess. I don't believe it, and it won't happen."

At this time, Cao Cao thought about it carefully for a long time, stood up and bowed to Chen Yang, "What the shopkeeper said made me think a lot. If it really would cause a spring drought, it would be another great achievement. I have to go back and tell the Prime Minister quickly and say goodbye."

After saying that, Cao Cao hurriedly left the tavern.

Cao Ang hurriedly followed, but as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around: "Shopkeeper Chen, this bottle of wine is mine."

This little Cao picked it up and ran away, faster than a rabbit.

"Damn, that's my wine, you haven't paid yet!"
