Chapter 515

Xuchang city.

The people are still discussing the battle of Xuzhou, and feel sorry for Cao Cao's defeat.

Liu Bei's residence.

The three Taoyuan brothers stayed here temporarily.

Although some time has passed, the wound caused by Yuan Tan still cannot be healed.

Only this person's life can comfort Liu Guanzhang.

yard.

Guan Yu is training hard.

Zhang Fei is also training hard.

Liu Bei is also training hard.

Guan Yu knew very well that Yuan Tan was only in his twenties and peaked in his thirties, and he would definitely grow up. If he didn't practice more, he wouldn't be able to beat this man.

Moreover, he is always full of desire to be number one in the world.

So Dijun is training hard like never before, ten times harder than in history.

Zhang Fei also practiced hard, but he was not as skilled as Guan Yu.

Liu is constrained by talent, let alone.

"Second brother, how do my muscles compare to Yuan Tan's?" Zhang Fei raised his fist, showing his thick biceps.

Guan Yu nodded affirmatively, stroked his beard and said, "It is much bigger than Yuan Tan."

Zhang Fei still seemed dissatisfied, "Yuan Tan doesn't know how to practice, I remember that I could beat him with just one finger."

Guan Yu's eyes were also full of memories, "Yuan Tan, he must have gone through a lot of tempering before he has the martial arts he is today. We can't relax."

Liu Bei looked at the stone mill in his hand, it was at least three times smaller than Zhang Fei's, and was immediately disheartened, throwing it on the ground.

At this time, Sun Qian came running over, "My lord, Mr. Cao invites you to come over to discuss matters."

Today, there are three counselors beside Liu Bei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and their family members.

But Liu Bei only had more than 200 soldiers left.

With such a number of troops, it is impossible to stand on the ground and cannot get money and food.

It is not easy to leave Cao Cao.

Shaoqing.

Liu Bei came to Cao Cao.

As far as the eye can see, the generals are shining in the hall, and all the personnel have arrived.

Only then did I learn that the Yuan family's army had changed and was gathering at Baima, Gaotang and other crossings of the Yellow River.

Moreover, all ships on the north bank of the Yellow River were suspended.

Cao Cao also just got the news, so he couldn't eat, so he immediately called everyone to discuss.

The intention of the Yuan family is already obvious, that is to go south to the Central Plains.

Cao Cao believes that soon there will be a call to crusade against him spread to the world, stamped with the seal of the jade seal. His morality was knocked down to the lowest point.

Sima Yi got up and said: "If the Yuan family really goes south, Dongjun cannot be defended, and Guandu will be a strategically important place instead."

What he said cannot be kept, does not mean that he cannot keep it, but that he cannot keep it for a long time.

Yanzhou East County is an area along the Yellow River, too close to the place where the Yuan family dispatched troops, and surrounded by Qingzhou and Jizhou.

And Guandu.

It is at the junction of Sili, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

There is a gap in Guandu, which spreads for hundreds of miles.

The chasm is a canal dug during the Warring States Period. As early as hundreds of years ago, with the diversion of the Yellow River, it had already dried up.

Its old road draws water from the Yellow River from Xingyang to the north, passes through Zhongmou, Kaifeng, Tongxu, Taikang, and Huaiyang, and enters Yingshui.

As the name suggests, Guanjia Ferry is the uppermost part of this divide.

The deepest part of the chasm is more than ten meters long, that is to say, on both sides of the dry river, a natural city wall with a height of more than ten meters is formed.

It is surrounded by dense forests and dangerous boulders, but it has also become a natural military barrier.

Historically, it was once the border between Chu and Han when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought.

The Chuhe-Han boundary in chess refers to this gap.

Guandu is close to Bianshui, connects Hulao, Gong and Luo passes in the west, and goes down to Huaisi in the east. It is the barrier to the north and east of Xuchang, Cao Cao's base camp.

Yuan Jun's army is 300,000, and Cao Cao has only about 100,000, which is impossible to resist in the front.

But when the troops reach this scale, they can defend well without fear.

At Sima Yi's suggestion, Cao Cao began to build a fort at Guandu.

This does not mean that Cao Cao will give up Yanzhou directly, it is a defense in depth.

If nothing can be done, then we will fight Yuan Jun here.

Ever since, Cao Cao also began to dispatch troops and generals to train the defense line hard.

at the same time.

Yuan Tan returned to Beihai, the base camp of Qingzhou, with the Shence Army.

Thirty thousand troops returned.

When the people learned of his triumphant return, they spontaneously came to the side of the road to greet him.

At the same time, 20,000 recruits participated in the reception and security work.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others followed behind Yuan Tan, walking on the road, looking at these recruits.

They saw a desire in their eyes, eager to fight, eager to pacify the world.

The Shence Army has gradually grown into an army that has faith and knows why to fight.

This is completely different from those troops who join the army for food.

This comes from the guidance of Yuan Tan, the head of Shence Palace.

Yuan Tan's idea of ​​rejuvenating China and protecting the country and the people attracted people with lofty ideals like Guo Jia and Zhao Yun to gather under his banner.

The size of the Shence Army has reached 50,000, and it has become an armed force that can truly deter any prince in the world.

Of the entire 300,000 yuan army, the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army can account for more than one-third, maybe more.

night.

Yuan Tan was exhausted and listened to Guo Jia's personal affairs.

Ganmei thing.

The business of Sanxiufang is very good.

There is already a trend to replace Jinting Building and lead the clothing industry in the world.

The sewing machine is known as the seamless stitch, and the garments made become luxury goods among luxury goods.

Guo Jiadao: "Jin Ting Building still wants to suppress. The subordinates sent people over to talk about it, and they are honest. Now Sanxiufang has branches in various cities in Qingzhou, and plans to continue to expand to Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou."

Yuan Tan was very satisfied, "It's very good. In the territory of Yuan's family, you can run your own business. For other princes, find an agent for the time being. I believe that those merchants and gentry will not give up this money-making project. The local princes need to rely on them. It will not be suppressed."

Other industries operate in the same way in terms of grand strategy.

"However, don't enter Cao Cao's place for the time being. I think that going south is just around the corner. Let's stop here today. Feng Xiao, you should go back to rest early."

Shaoqing.

Yuan Tan returned to the back house.

Zhen Ji and Cai Yan had been waiting for a long time.

Ever since, Zhang Chunhua, daughter-in-law of Sima Yi, Cao Jie, daughter of Cao Cao, and Mi Huan, wife of Liu Bei, were ordered to wait on him.

It's also beautiful.

...

the next day.

Yuan Tan changed his outfit and came to Ganmei's flagship store of Sanxiufang.

"Ganzhangzhu, business is really booming."

Ganmei's temperament is completely different now, but the heart is still the same.

All the employees in the store are recruited from poor households, and the treatment is good.

Gan Mei still doesn't know Yuan Tan's identity, but the store can expand so quickly, he must be someone with a lot of background.

"Brother Guo Jing, you're back!" Yuexiu was very unhappy, "What do you think of this vest I made? This gold silk one is specially made for you."

This vest is the kind that was very popular to wear outside during the Qing Dynasty. There is no such thing as the Three Kingdoms era. Once it was released, it became very popular.

Yuxiu made a landlord's hat, which was also the first in the Three Kingdoms period. It is much more beautiful than the one worn by Guan Yu, and it is also very popular.

Ganmei made a robe from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the sales volume was also very good.

In fact, Yuan Tan also offered several modern styles, but they all ended in failure.

It seems that the thinking of the ancients still cannot accept the trend of modernization.

Later, Yuan Tan thought it would be awkward for him to make all the ancient people wear modern clothes, so he no longer provided such materials.

They are all designed with the albums of later generations of fashion stores.

However, it is worth mentioning that there is a modern style that has become the only hot style.

It is the clothes worn by women.

"Go and do your work, I have something to say to your sister."

As Yuxiu Yuxiu left, Ganmei stayed alone, a little panicked and vigilant.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to speak, Er Gouzi came and whispered: "My lord, there is news from the capital, and the prime minister wants you to go to the capital immediately to discuss matters concerning the southern expedition."

Finally, it was time to fight Cao Cao.

Gan Mei found that the man's face was radiant, so attractive.

Must have got a long-awaited news, right?

After Yuan Tan finished listening, he directly took out a diamond ring, "This is a gift for you, come, let me wear it."

Gan Mei's hand hides, Yuan Tan's grabs, and Er Gouzi hides with his whole body.

After Er Gouzi hid, Gan Mei's hand was caught.

Gan Mei struggled, but stopped following Yuan Tan's words.

"I know your wish is to bring homeless little girls home."

"Now, your wish can finally come true."

"If I ever meet a little homeless girl, I will let you know. But there will be fewer and fewer little girls like this."

Ganmei is such a little girl.

In this troubled world, he survived strong.

There is only one man in the world who really understands her.

Yuan Tan put on a diamond ring for Gan Mei, and said seriously: "In my hometown, there is a rule."

In fact, Gan Mei saw such a ring for the first time, and she said that she didn't like it, but she was very happy in her heart, and immediately said, "What rules?"

"Whoever wears a man's ring will be the man's wife from now on."

(⊙v⊙) Ganmei. I thought to myself that I didn't have such good intentions to give such a precious gift. In a hurry, pull hard,

Yuan Tan laughed and left when he saw the embarrassment that he was ashamed, angry and unable to get rid of for a while.

In the end it was not pulled out.

When I unify the world, I will bring all the beauties back to the mountains and forests.

?

No, it should be waiting for me to rule the world, and there will be three thousand beauties in the harem.
