"Cao Aman fought with Yue Fei in Jingzhou and sent an envoy to form an alliance with Benchu.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to indulge these merchants in disturbing Dayan.

Therefore, these so-called Great Wei merchants are actually from Chu!”

Xu You felt that his wisdom was too high.

After a little thought, I figured out the whole story.

Xu You said to himself with some displeasure:

"The Chu people are so unscrupulous in Yecheng that they obviously don't take me Xu Ziyuan seriously!

It seems I have to suggest Benchu ​​teach them a lesson."

Before, Xu You had always opposed Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops.

The reason is very simple. It takes money to send troops to attack Chu State, and the money and food are not under Xu You's hands.

Therefore, attacking Xu You of Chu State would not get much benefit.

Compared with sending troops to attack Chu, isn’t it good to be honest in Yecheng?

But the actions of these merchants from the Great Chu obviously angered Xu You.

They had a lot of money in Yecheng, patted their butts and ran away. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Xu You was about to go to the Yan Prince's Mansion to encourage Yuan Shao to attack Chu, but the housekeeper suddenly came in to report:

"Master, there are two merchants from the Great Wei Dynasty who are asking for a visit outside.

You see?"

"What a great merchant from the Wei Dynasty. He still dares to stay in Yecheng."

A hint of chill appeared on Xu You's face and said to the butler in a deep voice:

"You ask these two merchants to wait for me in the side hall, and ask Xu Meng to lead fifty soldiers outside to obey the orders.

Listen to me throwing the cup as a sign, and go directly to the side hall to get people!"

"Yes, the villain will do it now."

Unlike Da Chu, the aristocratic families here have not been suppressed at all.

Therefore, high-ranking officials and nobles all raise private soldiers, with the number of private soldiers ranging from one or two hundred to three or five hundred.

Yuan Shao didn't even care about this. What's wrong with the ministers raising some slaves to protect their own safety?

It is too stingy to suppress the aristocratic family like Yuan Shu. Who will work hard for him in the future?

Xu You raised 500 soldiers with money from embezzlement and bribery.

Xu Meng was the general who selected the commander of this private army.

After Xu You stepped into the side hall, he saw two gorgeously dressed but pointed-mouthed monkey-like cheeks sitting in the guest seat.

It was Ma Zhong and Cao Xing.

When the two saw Xu You, they quickly got up and bowed to him:

"Wei businessman Xu Zhong and Xu Xing, pay homage to Lord Xu You!"

Xu You said in surprise:

"You two have the surname Xu?"

Ma Zhong smiled and said:

"We are from a small family in Yanzhou, so we are naturally incomparable to wealthy families like Lord Xu You.

But we are honored to be able to have the same surname as the adults!”

Xu You is a vain person in life, and Ma Zhong's words made him feel happy.

Xu You thought to himself that these two so-called Wei Shangs could speak.

Judging from their appearance, they are not good birds, but they are all profiteers.

He deliberately asked the two of them with a stern face:

"You and the other two disturbed the people's livelihood in our Yecheng, causing complaints from the people.

Now he dares to come to our house and fall into the trap. Do you think that Xu You dare not capture you and others?"

"Mr. Xu was joking, didn't he?"

Ma Zhong looked at Xu You flatteringly and said to Cao Xing beside him:

"Brother, bring the local specialties I brought to Lord Xu You!"

Cao Xing held a suitcase and put it in front of Xu You, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Xu You, we brothers have admired you for a long time.

This is a little care and no respect.”

"Hmph, do you want to bribe me?

This official is a righteous person, and everyone knows it."

Xu You casually opened the suitcase and was suddenly stunned.

The suitcase was filled with a stack of money tickets. Just grab one, at least ten thousand yuan.

In addition, there are precious jade and Ruyi made of pure gold.

The things in the suitcase were worth at least 20 million yuan, and such a huge sum of money moved Xu You.

Xu You quickly closed the suitcase and asked Ma Zhong and Cao Xing with a pleasant look:

"What's the point of sending this... local specialty, what's the point?"

Ma Zhong answered intact according to Jia Xu's instructions:

"To be honest, these local specialties were given by an adult behind us by our brother.

My master has been in contact with Master Xu for a long time, and he said that Xu Ziyuan is the top strategist in the world.

We just need to deliver the things and don’t say anything. Lord Xu naturally knows what my parents meant.”

Xu You was flattered by Ma Zhong, and a proud look appeared on his face.

His fingers tapped on the suitcase, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"I understand what your adult is saying.

You guys go.

Go back and tell him that since Xu You took his money, things will naturally be done for him."

Ma Zhong and Cao Xing bowed to Xu You in a flattering manner:

“Hey, thank you sir.

Then we won’t disturb you from resting, we will leave.”

The two hurried out of the side hall, leaving only Xu You playing with a suitcase of treasures in the hall.

Xu You couldn't wait to take out the Ruyi made by pure gold, which blinded his dog's eyes under the sunlight outside the window.

Xu You greedily smelled the money ticket and said to himself:

"What kind of businessman from Dawei?

The two shameless people are clearly lackeys of Chu.

I gave me money, but I wanted me to advise Benchu ​​not to send troops so that Ah Man could defeat the war.”

Speaking of this, Xu You sneered disdainfully:

"Ameng attacked Jingzhou, naturally, the more intense the fight, the better.

Who wins and who loses, what does it have to do with me?

Even if the Chu army attacks Dayan in the future, I will use my strategy to retreat to the enemy.

If you can do a strategy, you don’t need to think about the overall situation.”

Xu You was very confident in his planning ability and accepted the money given by Ma Zhong and Cao Xing with peace of mind.

Although Xu You is a shameless villain, there is one thing he is still trustworthy. He will naturally do things for others if he takes money from others.

This is also one of the reasons why he has always been able to make money efficiently. If he is untrustworthy, who will bribe Lord Xu in the future?

When Ma Zhong and Cao Xing left Xu You's mansion, they found Xu Meng and fifty murderous private soldiers in the yard.

The two thought it was so dangerous, and Mr. Wenhe really expected it like a god.

Otherwise, if you feed Xu You, something might happen this time.

The two of them did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the members of the Anmen who pretended to be merchants to leave Yecheng in batches.

This time, Ma Zhong and Cao Xing raised the price of Shu Jin and made a big profit in Yecheng.

Compared with the money bribed Xu You, the money that was bribed was just a drop in the bucket.

The next day, the chaos caused by the collapse of Shujin became more and more intense, and even King Yuan Shao of Yan was alarmed.

Yuan Shao quickly summoned his confidant advisers to the royal palace to discuss matters.

Yuan Shao sat in the main seat and said to the advisers with a bad look on his face:

"It is not yet clear whether to send troops to Xuzhou, and these unruly people in Yecheng are asking for trouble for me again.

It is said that two merchants from the Great Wei Dynasty came to Yecheng to raise the price of Shu brocade, and finally fled with the money.

These unscrupulous businessmen are so hateful that they make people complain, and they will be troubled if they think about it.
