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. No inch of land was left behind. 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 definitely have food.
Cao Cao was extremely envious of Liu Bei every time he thought about going on an expedition with only five days of food. 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 number one wealthy businessman, worked hard to provide 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 could eat more than a million Yellow Turbans and still 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, has been wasted. Without food, there is no way to develop. Everything is 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 under Yuan Shu.
"Wait another three days, and Zhicai will arrange Jingzhou. It's a pity that Liu Jingsheng doesn'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. I didn't expect 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 famous people from all over the world, or to have singing, dancing and banquets. Or poetry and playing the piano. In addition, this guy is really capable in poetry and music. He has invited all the celebrities he can afford to spend money regardless of the cost. It is conceivable that such a person like Xu Zijiang can appear at his dinner party. You know how famous this guy is in celebrity circles now.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yan came to the north, causing a sensation in the whole Jingzhou. Jingzhou was originally the world of Shilin. With such a well-known personage coming, naturally Jingzhou scholars gathered around Liu Jingsheng to greet Liu Yan.
Of course, in addition to Liu Yan¡¯s original reputation, he also spent money to hire people regardless of the cost. In fact, Liu Yan achieved this status because he did something important! Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the prestigious Shilin that we are now!
If you want to ask what great things Liu Yan has done, it¡¯s simple. Chen Xi cast the aura of improved paper on Liu Yan, and Liu Yan instantly became a famous figure in the country. The whole person is like a firefly in the dark night. No matter how you cover it up, you can't hide Liu Yan's celebrity temperament. To create such treasures that are conducive to the inheritance of civilization in the world, naturally Liu Yan is no longer the small celebrity he was before. I didn't see that when people first arrived in Jingzhou, those older generations Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, and Sima Hui all came to greet him.
The great cause of inheriting the world's cultural affairs was solved by Liu Yan. Why didn't such a figure come to greet him in person? Therefore, when Liu Yan came to Jingzhou to greet the people, even Liu Yan himself felt frightened. This kind of treatment is really unbearable.
Liu Jingsheng personally hosted 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 knows the best. If someone you don¡¯t know is anxious to ask him to do something, it will definitely be good for the other person. It¡¯s not necessarily good for him, so Liu Biao is not in a hurry and chats 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 Duke Jingsheng 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 great, 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 big cups came up, Liu Yan laughed, "As expected of Mr. Jing Sheng's"Sir, you are indeed big enough, but how can you not have good wine if you have good wine? "After saying that, he clapped his hands and a waiter brought up a jar of wine.
"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 patted the mud seal, and a draft swept through the hall. The whole hall was filled with the aroma of wine.
Liu Biao himself is a good drinker. Naturally, Liu Yan could smell it when he 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 I am intoxicated by it!
"Pa~" A celebrity fell to the ground, and the dizzy Liu Biao laughed, "Someone comes and takes 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 drank five liters at a time, even if he woke up, he would not have five days to relax. Don't think about dealing with government affairs. Moreover, this Mao Jie was also drunk once, and Cao Cao's request to jointly send 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 subordinates, Xi Zhicai almost shouted "God help me!"
Now Dexi Zhicai is sweating coldly when he sees the latest information coming from Jingzhou. It must have been so thorough at this time, what a surprise! (To be continued)
