    Soon, Ma Zhong brought Chen Tong to the prefect's mansion.

    "Chen Tong pays homage to the lord!"

    Liu Cong looked at Chen Tong carefully. He looked about forty years old. He was dressed in Tsing Yi. His face was full of vicissitudes and made him look thinner. However, his eyes were bright and bright, giving him a feeling of being smart and capable.

    "No gifts!"

    "Thank you, Lord!" Chen Tong stood up and stood aside.

    "Chen Tong, who else is in your family?"

    "Returning to my lord, there is an old mother at home who is over sixty years old. She has a pair of children who are underage. She has a wife, children, young children, maids and servants, a total of eleven people."

    "What did you do for a living before?"

    "I used to run a restaurant in Runan, but it was a time of war and chaos. I really couldn't open it anymore, so I went south to Shangyong."

    Liu Cong looked at Ma Zhong, who immediately poured a glass of wine and handed it to Chen Tong, "Chen Tong, my lord wants you to taste this glass of wine first!"

    Chen Tong didn't know what Liu Cong meant, but he used to run a restaurant and was very sensitive to wine. After just one glance, he understood that this wine was extraordinary. The mellow taste was already hitting his face before it was even brought to his mouth.  Come.  After tasting it carefully, I was almost stunned.

    "Good winegood wine!" He looked at the remaining wine in the glass carefully, "Lord, I have been running a restaurant for several years, but I have never tasted such a good wine!"

    "Chen Tong, of course you have never tasted this wine. This is the Wanlixiang that my lord has just brewed. No one has tasted it except my lord and me!"

    "Wanli Xiang? Was it brewed by the Lord?" Chen Tong was even more surprised.

    "Who else can brew such a fine wine except my lord!"

    "My lord is truly a god!" Chen Tong admired him sincerely.

    "Chen Tong, I want to open a Ten Thousand Miles Restaurant in Shangyong and let you take care of it. I wonder if you are qualified?"

    "Don't worry, my lord, Chen Tong will definitely fulfill his mission!" Chen Tong's eyes lit up.

    "Okay, for specific matters, please follow the arrangements of Trustworthy!"

    "No!" Ma Zhong and Chen Tong responded at the same time.

    Sure enough, Wanlixiang Restaurant became very popular as soon as it opened. People who wanted to go to the restaurant to drink every day had a long queue, and there was a limit.

    With the advent of new wine, the old wine immediately lost its charm. Anyone who drank the new wine felt that the wine they drank before could not be called wine at all. It was almost like water. Only Wanlixiang could be called wine.

    There is a saying circulating in Shangyong City:

    The ability to taste is a lot of fragrance, even if the clothing is also beautiful!

    In the entire Shangyong County, everyone with status has already made a reservation with Chen Tong.

    Liu Cong discovered that Chen Tong was indeed a good businessman. In today's terms, he was a profiteer.  There is a certain limit on the Wanlixiang he sells every day, and even reservations are queued up according to the date.

    The price of Wanlixiang has become ten times that of ordinary rice wine, but no one who drinks Wanlixiang thinks it is expensive. Instead, they feel that they are very lucky and have a high status. In a word, this wine is worth the price!

    Liu Cong doesn¡¯t care about the price. If it is food, he will definitely control it because it is related to the lives of the people.  Wine is different, only rich people drink it!  If you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain.

    Soon, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Hanzhong, and even the north all knew the name of Wanli Xiang. Businessmen from all over came to make reservations, and even the palace of Xudu sent people.

    Of course, in troubled times, the most important thing is food. Therefore, Chen Tong followed Liu Cong's request and ordered that all items purchased with food be placed at the front of the queue, while those purchased with other money were placed at the back accordingly.

    In just two months, Liu Cong had accumulated more than 100,000 shi of grain in Shangyong, and the order for Wanli Xiang had already arrived in June next year.

    In the past two months, Cao Cao and Soochow have not been idle. They are now facing each other in the Chibi area of ????Sanjiangkou.

    Cao¡¯s army numbered hundreds of thousands, and whether it was a water or land camp, they stretched for dozens of miles, with banners covering the sky and the sun.

    The coalition forces of Sun and Liu relied on the dangers of the Yangtze River. Although there was a huge disparity in strength, they did not fall behind.

    The two sides fought several battles. Jiangdong soldiers used their skilled water warfare experience to defeat Cao Jun many times, but Cao Jun suffered no substantial losses.  Cao Cao was full of confidence, so the momentum of Cao's army was not damaged.

    Liu Cong and Ma Liang were in the hall of the Taishou Mansion, watching the letters of information sent from Chibi by Skynet.

    "Ha" Suddenly, Liu Cong laughed after reading a piece of information.

    "What makes the Lord so happy?  "Because they were just watching from the other side and talking on paper, Ma Liang seemed very relaxed.

    "Ji Chang, look at this information!" Liu Cong handed over a letter in his hand.

    Ma Liang opened it and took a closer look, "Cao Cao killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Why?"

    "Cao Cao was so smart, but he didn't expect to fall into Zhou Yu's plan!"

    "My subordinate is stupid, please speak clearly, my lord!" Ma Liang didn't understand what Liu Cong meant.

    "In fact, it's not that he is stupid. There is little information at this time. How can he know the situation hundreds of miles away with just a few words? Liu Cong is just familiar with history.

    "We in Jingzhou are familiar with water warriors, and they are undoubtedly Wenpin, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun. Now Wenpin is guarding Liu Bei in Jiangxia and Guan Yu in Xiakou. In Cao's camp, the water warfare depends entirely on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Although they are talented  Not as good as Zhou Yu, but Cao Cao's soldiers had an absolute advantage, so it was not easy for Zhou Yu to defeat Cao Cao. So he took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicious weakness and used counterintuitive tactics to let Cao Cao kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!"

    "I understand, my lord, I am not as far-sighted as I am!" Ma Liang was deeply impressed.  From hundreds of miles away, he could see through Zhou Yu's plan with just one letter, which is probably even comparable to that of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!

    "Look at this again!" Liu Cong handed over another piece of information.

    "Cai Zhongcaihe surrendered to Jiangdong?" Ma Liang frowned, then a smile appeared on his face, "Lord, this must be a false surrender!"

    "How did Ji Chang see it?" Liu Cong was surprised this time. He didn't expect Ma Liang's intelligence to be so sharp. If he didn't know history, he would never be able to determine it so quickly.

    "Behind Cai Zhong and Cai He, there are family interests. Even if Cao Cao unjustly killed Cai Mao, the old family leader Cai Xi would not let the two of them surrender to Jiangdong, otherwise the entire Cai family would be finished. Therefore, this must be Cao Cao's plan  !¡±

    "Yes, but this strategy is too general. It can't be hidden from Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang at all. It seems that Cao Cao's defeat is not far away!" Liu Cong knew that without Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, Cao Cao could only connect the ship with iron ropes in the next step.  It's not far from burning Red Cliff.

    "My lord, Cao Cao is about to be defeated, and our opportunity is about to come!" Ma Liang looked extremely excited, because he knew that when Liu Cong was born, his name, Ma Liang, would spread throughout Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and even the entire world!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
