The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 327

Cai Yan's residence, inside the wine cellar.

Sima Yi stared blankly at the five wine containers on the ground, and fell into a stalemate for a while, unable to speak for a long while.

"What to do, what to do, that nasty slut maid suddenly came in and yelled a fart! This is a good time, which bowl is it in... If this is messed up, the bastard master surnamed Yuan will not Kill me!" Sima Yi said helplessly to himself while wiping the sweat off his face.

"What to do, what to do..." Sima Yi held the medicine bottle and circled anxiously.

All of a sudden, Sima Yi suddenly stood up, lowered his head to weigh the weight of the bottle, and was silently lost in thought. After a long while, the corner of his mouth unconsciously began to reveal a smile that was difficult for others to understand.

I can't figure out how many bowls are on the left and right, so I just... put them in a pile, so that Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu can drink it.

As for what happened to others...that was out of Sima Yi's consideration.

************************
When he was young, Sima Yi led the maidservant to serve the wine, and the five of them each held a cup, filled it slowly, and then held up the cup together.

Yuan Shangdang drank a big glass first, then raised his hand to wipe his mouth, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, not bad, this jar of wine is much more satisfying than just now, Zhong Da, the choice is good, very good!"

Yuan Shang looked at Sima Yi with deep meaning in his eyes, while Sima Yi bowed his hands at Yuan Shang with a face full of expression, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment!"

Everyone immediately toasted together, then raised the cup together, and drank it all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Yun put down the wine cup and said to Yuan Shang, "Send troops to Guanzhong, give up the opportunity to attack the Central Plains in one go, what are you thinking? The people here today are either your confidantes, or You don't have any scruples as a close ally, so why not take this opportunity and tell us what you think, how about it?"

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, then chatted with the wine cup, wiped his mouth lightly, and said: "During the banquet, military and state affairs are not discussed, you don't know such a simple truth?"

Zhao Yun raised his head and took a sip, saying, "But I want to hear it."

Beside Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, I want to hear it too. If you say that you, Mr. Yuan, withdrew your troops and returned to Guanzhong for no reason, none of us would believe it! Tell me quickly, your head What the hell are you thinking?"

Yuan Shang circled around, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he arched his shoulders helplessly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, since it was Miss Ma who asked the question for General Zhao, then I will reveal it a little bit."

Ma Yunlu's face froze, and he said, "Who is asking for him..."

Yuan Shang cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao is dead, the main force of the Central Plains is still there, and there are still heirs behind him, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xun Yu and other elites are also there. If we unite as one and work together, even if Xudu is taken down, it will not be of much benefit to our army. It is better to withdraw our troops for the time being, to observe the changes, and to see the situation in the Central Plains. It will not be too late to attack after the momentum weakens."

Cai Yan frowned, and said: "Its power is declining? What does this mean? If you don't attack, Cao Jun can rest and recuperate. How can the power decline?"

Yuan Shang chuckled and said: "Although everyone Cai is excellent in literature and music, they are lacking in political and military strategy. Cao Cao died suddenly, and he did not leave any intention of letting any heir succeed him. If I attack at will, His sons must work together to fight against me, but if I stand still, the successor of Cao Cao, Xudu, will become the top priority of all his sons. Who should inherit his position? Who is qualified to inherit it? His position? These matters are not only the affairs of Cao Cao's sons, but also the affairs of Xudu's officials... Once there is a succession dispute, how will the Cao family stabilize?"

Sima Yi smiled and said: "In the past, there was a plan of two tigers competing for food, but my lord's plan now is to count tigers to compete for food. Once the plan succeeds, there will be chaos inside Xudu. When our army rises again, we will definitely attack and conquer. The battle must be fought! Forgive Xiahou Dun, how can Cao Ren and others resist it?"

Zhao Yun showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said: "But the problem is, although your strategy is good, there is no guarantee that no one will be able to see that Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Jia Xu are all outstanding people. It may not be cracked without a trick.”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, even if it is cracked, Xudu will definitely be in chaos for a while, it's just how big the chaos will be. As long as we grasp the fire and attack quickly, we will definitely have good results ...The key issue now is the other two people."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Apart from the Cao family, who else is the key issue?"

Yuan Shang frowned deeply, and said: "Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the spies reported back the day before yesterday. Liu Biao lost Cai Mao, and he has relied heavily on Liu Bei as his help. With Liu Biao's current weakness and Liu Bei's ability, he wants to fight in the future." It may not be impossible to grasp the power of Jingzhou in a short period of time, not to mention that Liu Bei had a funeral for Cao Cao a month ago, and he had the demeanor of a heroic hero and loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. It is an inevitable trend, and it will definitely be a strong enemy of our army in the future!"

Sima Yi sighed for a long time and said: "If Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou as a tiger, he will be a strong enemy of our army, but if we can regain the Central Plains, then we will occupy most of the world. Although it will take some troubles to deal with Liu Bei, it will not It's too laborious, at least it should be easier than Cao Cao."

Yuan Shang sighed and said: "Liu Bei alone is not enough to shake our army, but what if he joins Sun Quan?"

"Sun Quan?" Everyone was stunned: "That little kid from Jiangdong?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "He is not a child. Don't look at Sun Quan, who has not done any major actions since he succeeded to the throne, but he is very capable, not inferior to his brother Sun Ce. If he joins forces with Liu Bei to resist Our army, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with."

Sima Yi and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and then heard Zhao Yun ask: "Liu Bei and Sun Quan are united, I think you take it for granted, don't you?"

Yuan Shang stretched out two fingers and said: "Although our current rival is the Cao family, we must pay careful attention to these two parties. The top priority is two things to do. One is to send someone to Jingzhou to urge Liu Bei to pay back the money. , return the 100 million money to me earlier, the second is to send envoys to Jiangdong, I want to make good friends with Liu Bei before Liu Bei has a stable foothold, by the way, and Liu Zhang from Yizhou! I also want to make good friends, I want to break Liu Bei All the allies I can make……….”

Just as Yuan Shang finished speaking, Ma Yunlu hiccupped with a flushed face on the opposite side, and groaned in a low voice, "Why is it so hot?"

Liu Bei and Sima Yi suddenly became energetic.

"The good show is coming, the effect of the medicine is going to be exciting!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Oh, look at me, I talked so much in one breath, but I forgot that everyone drank a lot, it's getting late, it's time to go back to sleep... Miss Ma's injuries have not recovered yet, I drank a lot today, I'm afraid I'm drunk, General Zilong, Yuan ordered you to send Miss Ma back to the mansion, and send her back safely, do you understand?"

Zhao Yun didn't think much about it, he swept his clothes and stood up, saying: "You can rest assured about this."

Sima Yi got up too, and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll take my leave too."

Yuan Shang gave him a sideways glance, and said, "What are you doing so early?"

Sima Yi laughed dryly and said, "I have something to do, it's urgent."

Now that Sima Yi had said so, Yuan Shang didn't want to keep him, so he got up together with Cai Yan, and personally sent the three of them out of the mansion. Zhao Yun helped Ma Yunlu get into the car, then turned around to say goodbye to Yuan Shang and everyone, and Step into the car.

At this moment, Ma Yunlu's eyes were already flushed, and his eyes were already a little blurred when he looked at Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun's medicinal power hadn't come up, his face was still a little drunk. According to Yuan Shang's estimation, he might be on the road. Medicine strength!

Yuan Shang couldn't help secretly laughing.

After Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu's carriage left, they saw Cai Yan suddenly go limp all over, leaning slightly to the side, almost falling down, Yuan Shang has sharp eyes, he hurriedly supported her and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Cai Yan gently rubbed her temples, shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden..."

Yuan Shang frowned: "Why are you so uncomfortable? Could it be that your aunt is here...Why are you talking so awkwardly?"

Sima Yi took a careful look at Cai Yan, and said in a low voice: "Master Cai is not feeling well, please don't leave, and help me to see what's going on, after all, I am your elder... Sima Yi still has some urgent matters, so let's go first." Farewell."

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Then you should be more careful on the road."

Sima Yi chuckled dryly, and thought to himself: "You should be the one who should be more careful." Then he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Just as Yuan Shang helped Cai Yan into the house, Sima Yi hurriedly jumped into the carriage, and shouted anxiously at the driver: "Hurry up, hurry up! Find me the nearest brothel!"

The coachman was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Prostitute, my lord, what are you doing there in the middle of the night?"

Sima Yi raised his hand and punched the coachman, angrily said: "What nonsense are you asking! I'm looking for a brothel, not to vent my anger, so why don't I just ask his grandma to recognize my godmother!"

*****************
Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu, and Sima Yi left, Yuan Shang helped Cai Yan into the courtyard, and then told the maid to take care of him, and then he wanted to leave.

Just about to leave, Cai Yan straightened up suddenly, glanced at Yuan Shang lightly, and said in a low voice, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Yuan Shang was slightly taken aback, and said, "I'm full with wine and food, don't tell me you still want to pack for me, Auntie?"

Cai Yan sighed slightly, and said, "I haven't had enough, why don't you come over and drink with me?"
