The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Doing business in Yangzhou is actually very good. Apart from paying taxes and dealing with identity issues, the rest is all profitable." Sima Yi said.

"Is that so?" Cao Cao was very envious!

"The Marquis of Dongyang has been fighting for years, and the treasury is poor, but he can recover his vitality in one or two years, and he can have a surplus in three or four years, because Yangzhou does not restrain the merchants." Sima Yi said.

"But, didn't you say that when a businessman becomes powerful to a certain extent, it will threaten the rule?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

At the beginning, it was because of the emphasis on commerce that everyone agreed that Yangzhou would definitely have civil strife.

Now in Cao Cao's view, this is not the case.

"Yes, it's just that all of this is based on the premise that Dongyanghou was defeated. Dongyanghou is too powerful, and we have no way to resist it. With his unparalleled prestige, he suppressed all kinds of evils in Yangzhou, and he couldn't break out." Sima Yi Straight to the point.

Cao Cao could only sigh regretfully, his luck was really bad.

While thinking about how to deal with it, Sima Yi stepped down from the carriage, smiled and said to Cao Cao:

"My lord, why worry, take a look with your eyes first, see clearly, and then study countermeasures later."

Cao Cao was not a pessimistic person either, so he laughed immediately.He stopped and stopped along the way, the original seven-day journey took half a month abruptly!

Fortunately, there is still some time left for Liu Ke's king ceremony.

Cao Cao was happy, but he suffered from the Tibetan tyrant who was in charge of "protection".

Anyway, Cao Cao is also the king of Wei, and it is reasonable to bring 3000 troops into the country.

But in order to guard the 3000 troops, Tibetan Ba ​​brought in a full [-] troops.

In Yangzhou, Cao Cao didn't dare to mess around, but he still had to be prepared. In case someone bumped into him, there was a solution, right?

When Zang Ba saw Cao Cao kept asking the people of Yangzhou, asking this and that, he teased, "Is the dignified king of Wei so ignorant?"

Cao Cao's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he said with a smile, "When I come to Yangzhou, I am no longer the king of Wei, but a student."

He lowered his airs.

But Cao Zhi refused. He thought this was a good opportunity to improve his status in his father's mind.

So he scolded Zang Badao: "It's just a guard who dares to be rude to his father. Is this how Yangzhou treats guests?"

Cao Cao was really satisfied. Although he couldn't personally deal with the Tibetan bully's cynicism, it would be too cheap, but he has a son!

When a son defends his father, no one in the world dare say no!

Moreover, Cao Zhi also held high the banner of etiquette in Yangzhou, just to make it difficult for Tibetan tyrants to ride a tiger.

"My way of hospitality in Yangzhou, when the rich wolf comes, there are swords and guns, and when friends come, there is good wine. I don't know which category Wei Wang belongs to?" Cang Ba sneered.

Cao Cao is really hard to answer, saying that he is an enemy, I am afraid that the next days will be a little sad.It's a bit cheeky to say we're friends.

However, Cao Zhi was witty and resolved it directly.

"Hey, my father is a guest invited by the Marquis of Dongyang, what do you think?"

Zang Ba snorted coldly and left.

Cao Cao was elated and praised his son's intelligence.

Chapter 960 Cao Cao’s Journey to Yangzhou

Cao Cao's performance along the way was reported to Liu Ke.

"Cao Zhi is still too young after all, not as calm as Zihuan." Liu Ke commented.

"Cao Pi has been trained by the lord for so long, and under the teaching of words and deeds, he is naturally different from ordinary people." Guo Jia said.

During the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, Guo Jia was left behind. He was very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do.

Cao Zhi is a famous talent, but in Guo Jia's view, he is just an ordinary person.

Things like poetry are more valuable in times of peace and prosperity.In troubled times, can you conquer the world?

Obviously not.

So Guo Jia is a scholar, but he focuses on strategy.If you focus on poetry, your achievements may not be lower than Cao Zhi.

"Come on, Meng De has come to Dongyang City now, if I don't go to greet him, it will be unreasonable." Liu Ke said.

After arriving outside the city, Liu Ke greeted Cao Cao with greetings, like old friends reunited after a long absence.

In fact, the two have been separated for more than a month.

"Meet Dongyanghou!"

It wasn't until Cao Cao and Liu Ke finished talking that Cao Zhi saw every stitch to show his presence.

He came to Yangzhou, firstly to please Cao Cao, and secondly to gain fame!

Liu is a landlord, so of course Cao Zhi wants to worship the mountain.

"The dog Cao Zhi, named Zijian, I think Dongyang Hou still has an impression." Cao Cao introduced.

Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded from the side.

"Sure enough, the word "dog" has been brought into full play.

In Yangzhou, the only one who dared to speak like that was Zhou Buyi, who was neither big nor small.
