"I heard that the Luoyang court is controlled by Dong Cheng and Yang Feng. Even if Cao Gong wanted to bring the emperor back to Xu County, those two might not be willing to let him go.”
Cao Cao went with the flow and voiced out his concerns.
"Dong Cheng and Yang Feng joined forces to rescue the emperor from the hands of the two thieves, Guo and Li. Now that their goal has been achieved, there will definitely be conflict between the two.”
"Cao Mengde only needs to use the conflict between Dong and Yang to ask the emperor to lead his officials to Xu County for food in the name of Luoyang's lack of food. He will definitely be able to successfully welcome the emperor back.”
Su Yi said casually.
Cao Cao's body shook, and a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
Bringing the emperor back to Xu County was indeed his plan.
However, he and his advisors did not have a foolproof plan to break through Dong Cheng and Yang Feng's obstruction and successfully welcome the emperor back.
Su Yi's unintentional words had actually pointed out a clear path for him.
"Moreover, there is another person in the imperial court of Luoyang who is willing to be Cao Mengde's spy!”
Su Yi's gaze was meaningful.
"An insider? Who is it?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Dong Zhao."
Su Yi gave a name.
"Dong Zhao?"
Cao Cao frowned.
He had naturally heard of Dong Zhao before, but he had not interacted with him before.
For no reason, why did this Dong Zhao want to be his spy?
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other in disbelief.
"Aiya, this junior was on a whim and talked about state affairs.”
Su Yi's thoughts returned to the main topic, but he asked,"Regarding this junior and your daughter's marriage, what plans does uncle have?”
"This…"
Cao Cao was speechless.
"Uncle, you don't have to be burdened. If you want to call off the engagement, this junior doesn't mind. When Uncle has made a decision, just send someone to my Su family to inform them.”
"Junior will not disturb you any further.”
Su Yi stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed before turning around to leave.
"Su Yi!"
Cao Cao watched him leave with a frown.
"My lord, this general will capture him and leave him to treat my lord's head wind!”
Dian Wei shouted.
"Don't be rude!"
Cao Cao shouted in a low voice, but said,"This person is talented. Perhaps I can use him. I can't offend him."”
Only then did Dian Wei leave.
"My lord, this person's medical skills are extraordinary. He even deduced that my lord wanted to welcome the emperor back to Xu County and unintentionally offered a brilliant plan.”
"But…"
"He said that Dong Zhaogan is the lord's spy, but he's speaking without thinking."
"Dong Zhao's matter is indeed somewhat irrelevant.”
"However, his plan to welcome the emperor back is a brilliant plan.”
Cao Cao nodded slightly and waved his hand,""First, investigate his background thoroughly.”
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.
…
In the Su Family Residence in the eastern suburbs of Xu County.
Su Yi was already lying on the rocking chair, sipping some wine and admiring the moonlight.
"Young Master, we used all our cash to buy wood. The remaining money in the account is only enough for two months at most.”
Diao Chan lay beside him, holding an account book in her hands, her eyes filled with worry.
"Two months is enough for Cao Cao to bring the emperor back to Xudu. The wood we have stockpiled will increase by three to four times.”
Su Yi sipped his wine and said.
"Young Master."
Diao Chan held her chin and approached Su Yi. She asked,"Young Master, are you so sure that Cao Gong can bring the Emperor back to Xu County?”
"When have I ever been wrong?”
Su Yi asked.
Diao Chan's body trembled slightly.
She immediately pouted and sighed,"Young Master has always predicted things like a god, so of course he wouldn't reject us. It's just that this time, we've also pawned the title deed and borrowed a lot of money, so Chan 'er is always worried ~"
"Oh you, just relax."
Su Yi's fingertips gently scratched her nose."After this business is done, Young Master will buy you a room full of Shu brocade. You can cut as many new clothes as you want!”
"Young Master ~~"
Diao Chan blushed and lowered her head shyly, secretly delighted.
"Cao Mengde, you tricked the emperor into coming to Xu County to earn a lot of money. It's not too much for me to earn a few coins from you, right?”
Su Yi muttered to himself with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother Li Heng!"
A rough and friendly voice sounded outside the courtyard.
Su Yi's eyes moved, and he immediately stood up and left the residence.
The door opened.
A tower-like figure appeared in front of him.
"Brother Li Heng, we haven't seen each other for a few years. I missed you so much!”
Zhou Tai laughed and gave him a bear hug.
This hug of his was at least a hundred pounds of strength, and Su Yi's bones made cracking sounds.
Su Yi grimaced in pain and subconsciously pushed his arms.
Zhou Tai's iron-like arm was easily pushed away by him.
"Eh?"
Zhou Tai looked him up and down." Not bad, brother. I haven't seen you for a few years. Your strength has improved."”
Su Yi smiled faintly. After taking the Tendon Changing Bone Forging Pill, his strength was no longer the same as before.
"Brother You Ping, the wine is still warm, let's talk inside.”
Su Yi smiled and invited Zhou Tai into the residence.
Zhou Tai was a native of Xiacai, Jiujiang, and was a famous local chivalrous man.
Back then, when Su Yi lived in seclusion in Xiacai, he had treated Zhou Tai's mother, so they became close friends.
"You Ping, how much Golden Nanmu did you bring with you?”
As soon as he sat down, Su Yi asked.
The Jianghuai area was rich in Phoebe nanmu. A few months ago, he wrote a letter to Zhou Tai, ordering him to purchase Phoebe nanmu from Huainan and transport it to Xu County.
"A hundred high-grade, three hundred middle-grade, a total of four hundred. They all went north to the Ying River and are still unloading at the ferry.”
Zhou Tai said while counting his fingers.
"Very good!"
Su Yi raised his cup and said,"Come, drink this cup to the fullest to celebrate our windfall!"”
"Don't drink the wine yet."
Zhou Tai said solemnly," I listened to you, brother. I sold my family's wealth to buy so many Nanmu trees and even transported them to Xu County from afar. Now, you should tell me how you made a fortune with these trees, right?"”
