"No need, Wen You, I have already been wronged by others, can I be wronged by them for nothing? Besides, even if I am willing to bow my head, will they let me go?

Hehe, at this juncture, whoever is the loudest and who is the most suspicious, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are nothing more than trying to use public opinion to force me to bow my head.

Hmph, it's just a joke. I've been traveling all these years, and I'm afraid of anyone. If they are not convinced, they will send troops to fight.

I don't recognize the dirty water they splashed, but I can't control them because my mouth grows on them. However, Feng Shui takes turns, and there is always time for me to take revenge. "

Li Ru looked at Chen Feng in surprise, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and even replied in his mouth: "Although I don't quite agree with your point of view, but hey, that's the way to do it..."

Chapter 551 New Alliance 1

Public opinion continued to point to Chen Feng, even though Zhang Lu, Yuan Shang and others spoke for him, but Cao Cao controlled the emperor after all and had the advantage of public opinion.

And there are many families under Cao Cao's command, and most of them are old-fashioned families with great influence. Under Cao Cao's instruction, these families are also building momentum.

In addition, there are many established families in Jingzhou. Cao Cao reached an agreement with Jingzhou, and Liu Bei jumped up and down in it without knowing when it would start. Therefore, the Jingzhou family also pointed the finger at Chen Feng.

As for Yuan Shang and others, although they were willing to speak for Chen Feng, they were not ready to work for Chen Feng after all.

There are indeed many great families under their rule, and there are also many influential families, such as the Yingchuan family, most of whom serve under the Yuan brothers.

It's just that such aristocratic families all put their own family's interests very seriously. In addition, there are many marriages between various aristocratic families, and they generally don't disrupt each other. Therefore, Chen Feng has always been at a disadvantage in public opinion.

However, Chen Feng is not without merits. He doesn't pay any attention to these public opinions, as well as the accusations and accusations of those famous people. After all, no one can have a thicker skin than him.

"Curse, scold, the harder you scold, the happier I am, hahaha, keep scolding..."

This was half a month after poultry from various places were poisoned to death. Chen Feng was still busy in Chang'an for the caravan of the Western Regions. Although there were reports from various places every day, he focused on the caravan.

Looking at Chen Feng with an indifferent face, Li Ru felt that he should say something no matter how calm his temper was. After all, his skin was not as thick as that of Chen Feng.

"Uh, my lord, we are already at a disadvantage in public opinion, even if we don't refute, we shouldn't let them throw dirty water at will.

Besides, the plan to form a Western Region caravan is being implemented, and we need a lot of goods.Silk from Jingzhou, tea from Jiangdong, other specialties from the Central Plains, etc.

Now we are so scolded by others that we can't hold our heads up, and this business is not easy to do.If the relationship with other aristocratic families is not repaired as soon as possible, the plan to go to the Western Regions for the second time may have to be postponed further. "

Chen Feng focused on caravans from the Western Regions, and Li Ru began to persuade him from this aspect. Li Ru's IQ is really worth mentioning. Under Chen Feng's command, only Jia Xu can be compared with him.

"Don't do business with me? Hehe, it's a good idea. Now, the aristocratic families in the Central Plains and Jingzhou seem to be determined to use us. Well, I will accompany you."

A sly look flashed across Chen Feng's face. In terms of making plans, he is not well-known in the world, but when it comes to making bad ideas, he is considered a figure.

"How about this, write back to Yuan Shang, except for poultry, I am willing to increase the trade volume of Jizhou specialties with him, if he is willing, I can relax the trade volume of war horses.

If Yuan Tan wants to participate, I welcome it. By the way, Yuan Tan is short of food. I have a good harvest this year. Ask Yuan Tan if he needs it. It is high quality and cheap.

Who told us that we are the Hebei Alliance, remember to emphasize that the Yuan family is called the overlord of Hebei, and the leader of the alliance so far has always been surnamed Yuan, and I, Chen Feng, support it. "

The worst thing about Chen Feng is that he values ​​profit more than fame and profit.Therefore, he never cared about the title of the so-called leader of Hebei.

In order to resist Cao Cao before, Yuan Tan served as the leader of the alliance. Although this alliance did not have much effect, it has not been disbanded until now.

Therefore, Chen Feng deliberately brought up this matter, which was a disguised form to drag Yuan Tan into the water. In addition, Chen Feng was willing to sell more war horses and grain, which Yuan Tan could not help but refuse.

As long as the Yuan brothers in Hebei are recruited, Chen Feng's Youzhou and Bingzhou will be relatively safe. As for the lack of goods needed by the Western Regions caravan, Chen Feng does not need to worry at all.

Li Ru looked at Chen Feng with a smirk on his face, and seemed to understand what his lord wanted to do. After a while, he also said:

"Except for Hebei, hey, we can also temporarily change the trading method with the Central Plains family and merchants.

For example, it is forbidden to sell any horses, cattle and sheep, ironware, etc. to the Central Plains family in the north, as long as they are related to Cao Cao, they are not allowed to sell.

In addition, didn't they hold back the goods and not sell them to us?

We can send someone to release the news that Yizhou Shu brocade is the best in the world, and my Changan caravan is willing to buy it with a lot of money. In addition, I heard that Yizhou Liuzhou Mu needs war horses, and I Changan is also willing to sell at a low price. "

If it is worse than anyone else, Li Ru can also be ranked among the top five in the current world. Chen Fenggang said a few words and put forward his own ideas, and Li Ru immediately perfected the plan.

"Wonderful, yes, that's it, immediately send someone to release the news, um, you have to make a false appearance, and immediately send someone to select a batch of war horses and transport them to Yizhou.

Let’s say I gave it to Liu Zhoumu. It needs to be loud and known to passers-by, so that Cao Cao’s spies can’t see any flaws. "

Chen Feng couldn't help giving Li Ru a thumbs up, he was a qualified counselor, he was like a roundworm in his stomach.

Apart from Jia Xu, only Li Ru dared to talk to Chen Feng like that. If it was any other counselors, they would probably consider whether this strategy was a bit too sinister.

Soon, various news from Chang'an spread all over the world, and Chen Feng, who was already in the whirlpool of public opinion, now reached the peak of public opinion.

First, the envoys of the Yuan brothers sent people to send a letter to Hebei, stating Chen Feng's decision and goodwill.

Yuan Shangna sent someone to reply without further ado. You must know that some areas in Jizhou were already plagued by locusts, and what was lacking was poultry. Now Chen Feng was willing to sell them at a low price, so what else could he say.

Besides, Chen Feng, who controls the northern grasslands, is willing to increase the sales of horses for the first time, and the price is not high. This is simply pie in the sky.

As for Yuan Tan, he replied faster than his younger brother, so horses and poultry were naturally attractive, but to him, Chen Feng was willing to sell grain, which was almost a life-saving straw.

The Hebei alliance has been strengthened, which made other princes feel bad. If these three families continue to join forces, Hebei must have the final say.

As for Liu Zhang from Yizhou, he originally planned to be a good old man who went to the theater without offending both.But Chen Feng sent someone to send a letter saying that he was willing to give him thousands of war horses, which made him unable to sit still.

If you want to say whether Yizhou lacks war horses, you don’t need to ask. Yizhou has grain, Shu brocade, and refined salt, but there are no war horses.

Chen Feng was so generous that he gave it away as soon as he came up. Even though Liu Zhang felt that Chen Feng must have plans, these thousands of war horses were all real benefits.

As for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, his second batch of envoys were the first to arrive in Chang'an, which also conveyed Zhang Lu's meaning. As long as it is the product that the right general wants, even though it is also available in Hanzhong, it can be sold if it is not in Hanzhong. get it.

Chapter 552 New Alliance 2

After the Yuan brothers, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu showed their intentions of goodwill, Chen Feng's neighbors were all drawn together.

As for Cao Cao, Chen Feng never thought of trying to curry favor with him.If it were someone else, Chen Feng might still think about it, lowering his attitude and saying something nice is not impossible.

But this is Cao Cao, who is he? He can be a hero in troubled times, and a virtuous minister in prosperous times. There is no need to play with him.

Soon, the commodities needed by the caravan in the Western Regions were basically assembled. This time, most of them were porcelain, tea, and silk. After all, these three things were priced like gold in the Western Regions.

With the departure of the second batch of caravans, Chang'an temporarily reduced the trade volume of goods from the Central Plains and Jingzhou. This made Cao Cao and Liu Biao stare blankly.

Originally, he thought he could use public opinion to put pressure on Chen Feng, but who knew that this guy was just a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and not very good.

Cao Cao was just angry. After all, he directed and acted this incident, and it didn't achieve the desired effect. It can only be considered that his plan was not thoughtful.

As for Liu Biao, he is suffering and cannot tell now. He listened to Cao Cao's words and temporarily joined Cao Cao's camp, trying to trap Chen Feng in business.

Who knows that Chen Feng is also stubborn, he didn't buy many goods from Jingzhou, but he didn't let the goods from the north be sold to Jingzhou.

Liu Biao himself did not lose anything, but the Jingzhou family suffered a great loss. You must know that many families have silk, tea, and porcelain businesses in their own families.
