[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

When Cao Zhi came to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was worried about a headache, so he ordered someone to invite Hua Tuo to come and treat him.Hearing what Cao Zhi said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to learn from Feng Xiao?"

Cao Zhi respectfully said: "My son heard that Mr.'s strategy has been tried and tested repeatedly. Even when he was seriously ill, he even planned to take the head of Yuan Shang brother, so he admired him very much. I want to follow Mr. to learn these things, so that I can share my father's worries in the future."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Zhi: "Are you interested in these?"

"Yes."

Only then was Cao Cao a little surprised.

He stared up and down at Cao Zhi for a long time, nodded slightly in his expectant look, and said, "If you want to study, you can. It's just that the military division's body hasn't recovered yet, so don't bother me too much."

"Yes, my son will obey his father's orders."

With Cao Cao's permission, Cao Zhi's harassment became more upright.When Cao Pi heard about this, he couldn't help asking Cao Zhi.After getting the same answer as what Cao Cao had heard in the past, he finally looked at his back from a distance and swept away the slight suspicion in his heart.

Only Guo Jia knew why Cao Zhi was looking for him.

The first day Cao Zhi came here was the most beautiful spring in late February. At that time, Cao Zhi went out with Guo Jia for half a day on the grounds that Guo Jia was not in good health and wanted to walk around to see the beautiful scenery.Later, he often ordered people to send some things to Guo Jia's courtyard, and Guo Jia became more and more puzzled.

In fact, if their counselors can help the lord win the world, most of them will be suspicious and suspicious by the lord in the end.Those who are luckier can enjoy their old age in peace, and the most untouchable thing among them is the struggle for succession.Therefore, even if Cao Zhi treats him with great kindness, he is unwilling to help.

It's just that it doesn't matter if Cao Zhi wants to learn strategies from him.

However, since March, Guo Jia finally noticed something different.

He sat at the stone table and looked at Cao Zhi indifferently. He was wearing a green shirt and long gown, with the same indifferent expression on his face: "Does the fourth son think that he can know the world's major events by traveling around the mountains and rivers all day and chatting about the world?"

Cao Zhi sat opposite him, and said seriously: "Actually, the students have different opinions."

"Ok?"

"The reason why Mr. can infer other people's actions and future outcomes from just a few words and a few actions is due to Mr.'s heart. Therefore, students can learn from Mr. and understand the world only by understanding Mr.

Guo Jia dipped his lips with a glass of water: "So, you are more curious about why I can see through the hearts of the world?"

Cao Zhi smiled more and more sincerely: "As the saying goes, everything needs to be done step by step. The husband is unparalleled in the world. If students want these skills, shouldn't they be the first to understand him?"

Guo Jia just slowly narrowed his eyes when he heard the words.After a while, he suddenly laughed: "No, you don't want to learn this... Heh, actually you want to know me more?"

How to describe this smile?

The smiles of the scribes are mostly reserved and shallow, just like Xun Yu and Yang Xiu.Guo Jia's smile was a little more sincere, but it never deviated from these categories.However, this smile is contemptuous, three-point lazy, and even the eyes are flowing, indescribably romantic.

Cao Zhi couldn't help moving his fingertips, and slowly tightened them.

Some words cannot be expressed in words, they can only be expressed in actions.Previously, Guo Jia thought that he was trying to get close to him because of the position of son, but he didn't argue.Just being misunderstood by someone you like is always an unpleasant thing.

He heard his own voice say, "Yes."

Guo Jia covered her lips and coughed lightly twice.

Holding the stone table with one hand, he got up slowly, and suddenly leaned forward to approach Cao Zhi until his breath was on the opponent's face.

Cao Zhi slowly held his breath.

He is also familiar with this person, and has drunk with him quite a few times, but he has never been so close to him before.The sight was filled with this face, and the only thing Cao Zhi could notice at the moment was the pair of eyes that were close at hand.

He could clearly see a little smile in those deep and clear eyes, and there was a clear and gentle voice in his ear saying: "But I won't tell you."

Cao Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly.He leaned forward subconsciously, but the person opposite him seemed to have already noticed his intention, straightened up quickly, and smiled calmly.

He flicked his sleeves, his expression was still as gentle and indifferent as before, as if the previous tenderness was just an illusion.

Cao Zhi stared at the lips that had regained their distance again, with indescribable regret in his eyes.

Guo Jia didn't realize it, Shi Shiran said: "I don't know if the answer, Fourth Young Master, is satisfactory?"

"What if the students want to get to the bottom of it?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Then I will tell the fourth son that this is a talent, something that no one can learn."

Cao Zhi's eyes twitched.

This sentence, in a disguised form, was telling him that if Guo Jia became unhappy, he would tell Cao Cao's fourth son that his talent was not good anytime and anywhere, and it would be useless to learn these things again.

And with Cao Cao's respect for Guo Jia, the ending can be imagined.

Cao Zhi also bent his lips, revealing two words between his teeth: "Hehe."

Regardless of whether Cao Zhi is happy or sad, the 13th year of Jian'an will be a bloody year.

As early as the first month of spring of this year, Cao Cao returned to Yezhu Xuanwu Pool to train the navy.Then he dismissed Sangong and reset the posts of prime minister and imperial doctor.Later, he returned to Xuchang with only a few soldiers and horses, but ordered Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and others to garrison south of Xuchang.In the following three months, the Emperor Shangzuo asked Ma Teng to be appointed as a Weiwei in Guanzhong, and his son Ma Chao to be in charge of Ma Teng's army as a partial general, and instead ordered Ma Teng and his family to go to Yecheng...

All these signs indicate that Cao Cao will send his army south to take Jingzhou in the near future.

However, taking Jingzhou is like taking Yizhou back then, Cao Cao actually still has some concerns.

At first he welcomed the emperor in Xuchang, but Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with the emperor rewarding him with the position of general, so he retired to Sikong.It wasn't until Yuan Shao's death that he was truly in power.

However, this kind of power is not justified at all.In the future, if Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou use this as an excuse to jointly attack Xuchang, it will also be a catastrophe for Cao Ying.

Therefore, in June, after Cao Cao sent his daughters Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua to the palace, he finally proclaimed himself prime minister.

The government and the public were shocked, and the world was in an uproar!

The emperor had no choice but to smile wryly, and acquiesced to this matter.However, the literati and officials headed by Kong Rong gathered together and wrote dozens of poems to insult Cao after the emperor was invalid. The sharp and unruly words made the atmosphere in Xuchang even more tense.

——It’s really raining and the wind is coming!

In March, Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Hua Tuo, but Hua Tuo refused to come to Xuchang because his wife and children were seriously ill.Recently, it was hot and troubled by other things. After another day of headaches, Cao Cao finally ordered Hua Tuo to be arrested.

On June [-], the early morning in Xuchang was a bit muggy.

Cao Zhi is still in class, and this class will also be the last class Yang Xiu will teach him.

After Cao Cao dismissed Sangong, he recruited talents on a large scale.Among them, the two most noticeable things are that he ordered people to forcibly bring Xu Shu's mother-in-law, a counselor under Liu Bei's camp, so that Xu Shu had to come to join Cao Ying; auxiliary.

And Yang Xiu was also appointed as the chief secretary of the army.

Since this is the last class, Yang Xiu no longer taught him the Book of Songs, Art of War, etc. Instead, he dropped the bamboo slip in his hand and said calmly: "I heard that you have been very close to Junshi Guo recently?"

Cao Zhi nodded and said: "Students admire Mr.'s strategy, so they often go to study recently."

Yang Xiu stared at him with unmistakable ridicule, whether it was habit or contempt.

Fortunately, he was not very interested in this topic, so he passed by and said: "I have taught you for eight years and nine months as a teacher. When we part today, let's talk about the general trend of the day without talking about anything else."

Now Liu Biao's heirs are constantly fighting for power, and Sun Quan has finally consolidated Jiangdong, but these are not what Yang Xiu wants to talk about.

What he wanted to say was that not long ago Kong Rong had incited scholars to make a big fuss, which aroused Cao Cao's dissatisfaction.

Cao Cao didn't have much expression.

He should have been furious and scratched, even if it didn't help, at least he could make these sour mouths shut up for time.But Cao Cao didn't move. Anyone who knows Cao Cao should know that he is actually planning to move these people!

——I am afraid that in a short time, the whole world will hear the sad news of Kong Rong's death.

Kong Rong was originally an elder whom Yang Xiu admired and respected.What's more, in the past, Cao Cao put Yang Biao into prison and released him for Kong Rong's face, so Yang Xiu naturally didn't want to see this happen.

However, although he can see through Cao Cao's heart, he has no power to stop Cao Cao.No one can change Cao Cao's mind on this matter, but he still wants to hear Cao Zhi's opinion.

So he asked Cao Zhi, "What do you think about this matter?"

Cao Zhi smiled and said, "Sir, you have already made up your mind, haven't you?"

Yang Xiu suddenly clenched his fingers tightly, and the roots turned white.

He already knew that Cao Zhi's words were also in agreement with Cao Cao's actions.

So what is he looking forward to?

Who is Kong Rong?

He is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, the son of Kong Zhou, the captain of Taishan——with his family background and status, he is already a rare eminence in the world.What's more, he has few talents, and he has served as Zhonghou of the Northern Army, General Huben Zhonglang, and Prime Minister of Beihai.After Cao Cao established his capital in Xuchang, he was recruited as a general craftsman and a senior doctor.

He recommended many talents and sages, repaired schools in cities, counties, and towns, and wrote many poems and songs with brilliant literary talents... He is already an indispensable great Confucianist today.

And such a character, no matter in which dynasty they are placed, is an existence that the world cannot but respect and look up to.

But Kong Rong was born in troubled times!

In this troubled time where the Han Dynasty is declining, no matter how much he worries about the country and the people, no matter how loyal he is.Just his disagreement with Cao Cao's political views will eventually lead to his decapitation.

What about him repeatedly provoking Cao Cao?

In the case of Yang Biao in the past, Kong Rong threatened Cao Cao, "I will leave tomorrow as a cloak, and I will never go to court again." Later, due to the chaos of the war, Cao Cao imposed a ban on alcohol, and Kong Rong frequently argued about it, with many insulting remarks; Before Guandu, Kong Rong exhorted Cao Cao to surrender in the court; what's more, when Cao Pi accepted Zhen Ji, Kong Rong compared it to "King Wu defeated Zhou and gave Zhou Duke with Daji"...

The rulers of all dynasties understand the power of literati.From Qin Shihuang burning books and burying Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han deposed a hundred schools of thought, as of now, the literati criticize Cao Cao for his brutal heart and nature, and he is actually a traitor...

Their pens are as terrible as knives and guns.

Even if Cao Cao can really rule the world in the future, he can't refute a fact.

Cao Zhi said indifferently: "This is a world fought by force, but it is only ruled by scribes." He paused, and continued, "But the existence of Kong Rong now hinders the struggle by force."

Cao Cao endured it at first. At first, he had to stay with Kong Rong because his foundation was not stable because he was welcoming the emperor in Xuchang.Later, due to the precariousness of Yuan Shao's dynasty in the Northern Expedition, he had no time to deal with him; and later, Yuan Shao's remnant tribe and the Wuhuan clan made him burnt out, so he had to go on an expedition to Liaodong.

Now that the north is unified and the army is about to move south, it is time to kill Kong Rong.

Cao Cao understood these things, the counselors understood them, and Yang Xiu naturally understood them too.

Yang Xiu closed his eyes, feeling a little cold.It took a long time to outline a sarcastic smile, and he stopped talking.

He suddenly understood a little bit.

He used to think that Cao Zhi's disposition was too gentle and too mediocre, so he did everything possible to change his character and let him reach out to the position of son of the prince.

The fact is that Cao Zhi's xinxing had matured before he knew why, and he had formed his own views on any issue, and even his xinxing was firm enough that he didn't need to intervene at all.

So, should he laugh or be angry?

He finally laughed.
