"Let's end the discussion here. Let's set up a banquet!"
Cao Biao waved his hand and began to serve the wine and dishes.
The soldiers raised their glasses and shouted in unison,"
"Congratulations, my lord!"
Cao Biao raised his wine cup and drank it with everyone!
As the wine entered his throat, the taste was just as Cao Biao had imagined, bland and tasteless.
"This wine won't do. Try the strong wine I brewed!”
As Cao Biao spoke, he took out a few bottles of high-alcohol liquor from the system's inventory.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were disputes between the feudal lords. In this era of war, both civil officials and generals drank heavily. Perhaps only alcohol could wash away their fatigue from war.
The stronger the wine, the better!
However, even though Cao Biao was talking about strong liquor, they didn't take it seriously.
Because at this time, all the wine in the world was water wine, and there was not much difference. The strongest wine was Du Kang, which was only about ten degrees.
Cao Biao asked the guards to fill everyone's wine cups.
In an instant, the mellow fragrance of the wine assailed their noses!
Lu Bu, who was a drunkard, was even more excited. He didn't care too much about it, but instead raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
The strong liquor entered his throat.
Instantly, it exploded in Lu Bu's throat like a ball of fire.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Bu's face started to turn red from his neck up at a visible speed, and a mouthful of hot air came out of his throat.
He grimaced.
Veins popped out.
His throat and stomach felt like they were being cut by a knife, burning.
The others looked at Lu Bu in confusion.
A moment later.
Only then did Lu Bu catch his breath and shout,""Good wine! What an overbearing wine!"
a life of war.
Lu Bu had drunk too much wine, but today, Cao Biao's wine had completely overturned his understanding. His eyes lit up as he looked at Cao Biao.
When the others saw this, they also raised their wine glasses and drank it in one gulp!
"Good wine!"
"Damn good wine, I like it so much!”
"My lord, where did you get this wine from? It's so domineering!”
After shouting, all the soldiers exclaimed.
Cao Biao stood up and raised his wine glass."After pacifying the entire Xu Prefecture, I'll treat everyone to another round of drinks!”
"Good!"
"Ha!"
The generals were in high spirits and their heroic spirit soared to the sky!
……
Everyone drank to their heart's content and was very excited. They didn't look like they had just surrendered. Even the way they looked at Cao Biao had changed.
Lu Bu even suggested Diao Chan dance to liven things up, but Cao Biao unexpectedly rejected him.
Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and the others nodded their heads in agreement.
" This child is brave and resourceful. He has the means to win over the hearts of the people. He has a unique bearing. It's too foolish for my lord to fall out with this child…"
Guo Jia, who was watching all of this, sighed inwardly.
Just as he was thinking, Cao Biao said,"Fengxiao, take some of the remaining food and wine back to Cao Cao and the others, lest they starve to death.”
Guo Jia was stunned. Only then did he remember that he was eating and drinking well here. His lord was still cold and hungry in the dungeon!
However, leftovers?
Would the lord eat it?
Guo Jia looked troubled, but Cao Biao chuckled."What's wrong? As a prisoner, he was still picky?”
"Also, go back and tell Cao Cao that as long as he is willing to submit to me, I will consider letting him out and making him my chief strategist.”
Guo Jia was speechless.
Guo Jia had no choice but to pack up some leftovers. He only had half a bottle of wine left. After nodding at Cao Biao, he went to the dungeon...
Along the way, Guo Jia didn't think too much about it. He only wanted to give Cao Cao a full meal first.
In the dungeon.
When Guo Jia returned, Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and Cao Ren were huddled in the grass in the corner with their arms crossed. Their expressions were dull and their stomachs were rumbling.
The most important thing was that their future was unknown, making them feel even more tormented.
When the few of them saw Guo Jia return, they quickly looked over and saw Guo Jia's face glowing red and carrying a package in his hand.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.
Xu Chu and Cao Ren quickly went up to them and asked,"Sir, why is Cao Biao looking for you?”
Guo Jia walked over with a parcel and said,"We'll talk about this later. My Lord, you should eat first.”
Cao Cao snorted,"That unfilial son still knows how to send me food!"”
Guo Jia nodded as he opened the package.
Cao Cao and the others came over and swallowed their saliva. They saw that the package was opened and there were leftovers and half a bottle of wine inside.
"This?"
Cao Cao was stunned. His face darkened as he growled,"" That unfilial son wants me to eat this?!"
"Yeah, that's all that's left." Guo Jia looked troubled.”
As he spoke, Guo Jia's nose and mouth blew out a thick fragrance of wine. This made Cao Cao's expression stifle as he slowly asked,
"Fengxiao, have you eaten?”
Guo Jia was stunned. He seemed to have realized something and broke out in a cold sweat.
Cao Ren wasn't stupid. Hearing Cao Cao's question, he immediately reacted and approached Guo Jia,""Guo Jia, have you surrendered to Cao Biao? You colluded with Cao Biao to persuade us to surrender? Tell me! Tell me the truth!"
"I…"
Guo Jia opened his mouth. At this moment, he reacted and thought to himself, Cao Biao, you're so ruthless. This is killing without spilling blood!
Guo Jia hurriedly bowed and said,
"My lord, I'm innocent! I, Guo Jia, am loyal to my lord. This is all a trap set by Cao Biao. He wants us to fall out!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a while before suddenly saying,"
"Fengxiao, I believe you. What did Cao Biao, that unfilial son, say when he asked you out?”
Guo Jia wiped the sweat off his forehead and told him everything from the beginning of his departure to Cao Biao asking him to cooperate with Qu Yuanli's promotion.
"It's that simple?" Cao Cao asked.”
"It's that simple!"
Guo Jia calmed himself down and nodded repeatedly.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked again,"Is that Qu something Li that the unfilial son talked about really that magical?"”
"It's Qu Yuanli." Guo Jia quickly replied,"I don't know if it's really that magical. Young Master Cao Biao asked me to find someone to forge it tomorrow. We'll know once we try it."”
Thinking back to the repeating crossbows and ballistae in Chen Liu, Cao Cao's eyes flashed,
"Then did he give you the blueprint?"
"No, he gave it to Chen Gong, but he asked me to go with him tomorrow to promote this Qu Yuan Li.”
Cao Cao nodded and instructed,"Fengxiao, if it is really that magical, then you must remember the blueprint of this Quyuan Li!"”
"Please rest assured, my lord!"
Thinking about how if the Quyuan Plow was really that magical, and if he could have it, then he would be able to cultivate five times the amount of land, Cao Cao revealed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.
At that time, the problem of the shortage of food in his army would be completely solved. Not only that, but the people under his rule would also become rich.
His reliance on the aristocrats would also be greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao revealed a suspicious expression,""But, is that unfilial son really willing to show you the blueprint? Could there be some conspiracy?"
"Young Master Cao Biao said that it's fine to leak something that benefits the people of the world." Guo Jia shook his head.”
Cao Cao's face darkened. After a while, he snorted,
"That unfilial son really has good methods. He wants to rule the world and also have a good reputation. Everyone says that I'm a treacherous man, but in my opinion, I'm at least a true treacherous man. Cao Biao is a treacherous man who is loyal to his father!”
Guo Jia did not move when he heard this. In fact, he wanted to say," My lord, you are being paranoid. Young Master Cao Biao is not as hypocritical as you think."
Cao Cao thought for a moment and suddenly asked,""Fengxiao, what else did that unfilial son say? Just say it!"
Guo Jia hesitated for a moment before saying,"Young master Cao Biao asked me to pass you a message. As long as you are willing to submit to him, he will consider letting you out and let you be his chief strategist.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chu and Cao Ren were so angry that they clenched their fists tightly.
The corner of Cao Cao's eyes twitched as he spat out a few words through gritted teeth,""This unfilial son is going too far!"
The dungeon fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Guo Jia finally said nervously,"My lord, you haven't eaten for a day. Eat something. Your health is more important.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao snorted,""Even if I, Cao Cao, starve to death and die here, I will not eat the leftovers of that unfilial son!”
