In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally conquered Liu Bei and was defeated in Xiapi. Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu surrendered.
After Cao Cao took his troops back to Xudu, he treated the newly surrendered Guan Yu very kindly, worshiped him as General Pian and Marquis of Han Shouting, rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold and stunning beauties in the name of Emperor Han, and allocated him the most luxurious palace in the capital. The mansion almost gave him the highest courtesy.
Just in time for the Shangyuan Festival, Cao Cao specially held a grand banquet for his ministers in Pingle, and ordered people to decorate the scenery of Aoshan Mountain carefully.
In the hustle and bustle, he sat at the top of the crowd, drinking wine with everyone, and opposite him was his current guest - Guan Yu, Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.
Everyone was laughing at each other, drinking and having fun, the sky above Xudu seemed to be shrouded in this happy atmosphere, full of laughter from men, women and children.
Everyone deliberately ignored the many crises hidden under the illuminated night sky, the dangerous future was quietly revealed, and the haze surged around the full moon, which may herald the upcoming military disaster and catastrophe.
Cao Cao half-closed his eyes, looking relaxed and indulgent, but he was actually observing everyone's facial expressions. The wine bottle was squeezed close to his lips, and the corners of his mouth curled into an unknown smile.
Looking around, he suddenly stopped at Guan Yu's location. The latter has always been taciturn, and he still behaved politely surrounded by many beauties. His face was firm and resolute. Sober and cautious.
Although the pair of narrow and long red phoenix eyes are slightly raised, there is no femininity on his face, but it adds a majestic aura, which is set off by the long beard and beard, which makes people look respectful.
"Yun Chang, please try Gu's newly brewed green plum wine. Adding the night frost in the darker season of last autumn, the taste is even clearer. This is a good wine that Gu specially brought out to share with you. I hope Yun Chang will appreciate it." Cao Cao looked at him with a smile in his eyes, admiring and sympathetic, lifted his clothes and got up, and personally raised his bottle to respect him.
Guan Yu quickly stood up from his seat, took the wine poured by the maid, and bowed deeply to Cao Cao: "Thank you, Sikong, for the wine."
Immediately he took up the jade cup and drank it down, shook his head as if aftertaste, bowed again to thank him, and continued: "Guan has the courage to ask Sikong to allow me to keep the wine given to me, so that I can have the same wine with the emperor in the future." Uncle and brother drink together, they have never tasted such a mellow wine!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned pale with fright. They looked at him carefully, and then peeped at Cao Cao's change of expression. They tightened their fingers on the front of their clothes, and they all sweated for Guan Yu. It's done, the fire at the city gate caused everyone to suffer.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao’s expression did not change at all, he even poured a glass of wine for Guan Yu himself, and laughed: “Okay! Gu will order them to transport dozens of carts of wine in the warehouse to Uncle Liu Huangshu’s camp in the starry night. His gift!"
Everyone laughed and hurriedly covered up the embarrassing atmosphere just now.
"However, Xudu's music and dance are not self-proclaimed. Its exquisiteness and magnificence are the best in the world today. I wonder if General Guan wants to watch it?" Cao Cao said as if he wanted to change the subject, looking at Guan Yu who bowed his head and said nothing.
"Xu Du naturally enjoys the prosperity of the world, but Guan has never been lucky enough to appreciate music and dance. Thank you Sikong." explain.
Cao Cao chuckled and moved his eyes, signaling to the servants around him.The latter will bow their hearts and go around to prepare.
Not long after, the musicians filed in from behind the screen, sitting in rows on both sides and playing. As the music sounded slowly, the kabukis with their robes in their arms also walked in front of the people, and the graceful singing voice stopped the crowd instantly. In order to push the cup and change the cup, the noise suddenly fell silent.
——The female is called Jiming, and the scholar is called Meidan.Zixing watches the night, and stars die.Will soar and fly, Yifu and geese.
In addition to Yi Yan, it is appropriate for you and your son.It is advisable to drink wine and grow old together.Qinse is in the imperial court, so it's better to be quiet.
When the confidant comes, he will give it as a gift.Knowing the son's obedience, miscellaneous questions to ask.If you know your child well, you will repay him with miscellaneous adornments.
The music suddenly stopped, and changed to a Yushang tune, and the rhythm became soothing and light.
"A lonely white rabbit, wandering here and there. Clothes are not as good as new ones, and people are not as good as old ones."
This is "Ancient Yange" written by the Yuefu. It is an introductory song in the beginning, and the female voice sings softly, and there is infinitely moving in it.
At this time, all the dancers suddenly surrounded a brightly dressed woman and stepped forward, jingling her steps to hide the beauty's slender figure, with a light blue veil covering her face, covering all her facial features except the eyes.
"My concubine is surrounded by pei. On the occasion of Shangyuan, I am here to toast and dance for Sikong. I hope Sikong is happy." Her voice was a little hoarse, probably because she had just drank cold wine, and she couldn't hear it well amidst the entwining music. Clear, only a few syllables can be vaguely discerned.
She went straight to Cao Cao's table, lightly raised her wrist, and poured him a cup of plum wine gracefully.
The clear and clear liquid swayed slightly in the jade bottle, flickering under the candlelight with a seductive light, almost blending with the color of the beautiful jade, exuding a faint fragrance.
Before he could drink, she let out a low laugh, the emotions in her eyes were hard to discern, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She walked to the center slowly, her gait was as light as a lotus, gentle and nimble, her begonia-colored dance dress was covered with crimson gauze, and to the beat of the pipa and flute, her footsteps leisurely stepped on pieces of misty flowers and moons in the mirror.
Although her temperament is detached, as if she came from the nine heavens that do not belong to this mortal world, she is still charming and charming. Her eyes are breathtaking, like a piece of gorgeous crystal, rippling with bright light.
As soon as it is plucked, it will hook the deeply buried heartstrings of the viewer, and suddenly burst out countless transparent water droplets, ticking on the surface and depth of the body.
This long-sleeved dance is swaying and full of fragrance, and the robes are raised, and the rhythm of the song is mixed with the endless rhythm of the drums, forming a perfect harmony in the elegant flute and flute and the lyre.
She seemed to be deliberately attracting his attention, those captivating eyes staring wantonly at his pupils, frowning and smiling, as if conveying something on his mind that he couldn't comprehend.
However, it touched the heartstrings of the people around, and immediately the audience burst into praise, all staring at this beauty intently.
Only Xun Yu, who was always silent, sat quietly on the side, and when he looked at her, his eyes were full of inexplicable emotions, thoughtful.
He picked up the jug next to him, filled a glass of plum wine for himself, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Gongda has always been the most stable and introverted person. He is stupid on the outside and wise on the inside, cowardly on the outside and brave on the inside, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If you talk about strategizing and planning, he must have a place in today's world."
Cao Cao sighed with admiration, thinking of the strategy of attacking the white horse proposed by Xun You just now, he couldn't help but praise again.
He looked at A Sheng who was listening quietly with his chin resting, and the teacup in his hand turned slightly between his fingers, splashing a small splash.
A Sheng also picked up a tea bowl and poured water, held it to his lips and sipped it and said: "You can win over such a handsome man, you must be praising yourself."
He bent his lips and smiled: "What, I'm just judging people based on people, but it's also a good story - the talents of Wangzuo in the world, the Xun family of Yingchuan occupies three, but it's a pity that Xun Chen can't be used by me."
"Xun Youruo?" A Sheng blinked his eyelids, "He didn't stick to the vulgar when he was young, and made you calm and gentle, but he was always on foreign trips and often didn't come home for more than half a year, so I haven't seen him much. But I still remember the way Lingjun discussed the art of war with him. Both of them refused to admit defeat, and each had their own unique opinions. I don't want to compete with Xun Chen in the military formation anymore."
"Then tell me, between Xun Chen and Ling Jun, who is better in military strategy?" After she finished recalling, he suddenly stared at her with piercing eyes, and there was a ray of inquiry in his eyes.
Suddenly throwing such a sharp question, Ah Sheng choked up, not knowing what to say.
Cao Cao's inquiring eyes kept locking her face, she had to face up to his bright eyes, scratched her head, thought for a moment hesitantly, and said in embarrassment: "This... Anyway, it was evenly matched that time. Zhizhi, you are also very clear, as for Xun Chen—his thinking angle is more or less different from Ling Jun's, and the problems he faces are also different. I have always been simple-minded, and I really can't make a comparison for them."
Cao Cao let go of her slowly with his fiery eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table, knocking out the tunes one by one, with a strong smile: "Of course, I don't force your head, and I don't really want it." going to ask you."
Seeing the woman on the opposite side turned pale and stared at him angrily, he immediately put his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: "But speaking of it, Ling Jun and Xun Chen are brothers, and now they are in hostile camps everywhere. Both of them will have reservations. But Xun You, being caught between two uncles, will be a bit embarrassed.
His personality will not reveal the true inner thoughts. "
"I knew Junshi Xun when I was young. At that time, he seemed to be a little young and energetic, and he didn't do things carefully and carefully, which was completely different from now."
Cao Cao nodded: "He once conspired with me to assassinate Dong Zhuo. At that time, he was as impulsive as I am, but now he acts impeccably, calm as ancient jade, and can't even pick a single mistake. He is impeccably perfect."
"Perhaps it's because so many years have passed and so many things have happened, so he has changed." Ah Sheng suddenly felt emotional, tapping the rim of the cup with his fingers intermittently, and there was a crisp sound, "It's just this change. It's too big, it's like changing a secondary soul."
"Yeah, so many years have passed." He held her face lovingly and looked into her eyes. "From the day you married me to now, so many years have passed."
A Sheng was a little embarrassed to look directly at him, lowered his eyes slightly, and caught a glimpse of an extremely tiny mole on his neck, which he had never noticed before, so he couldn't help but stare intently.
Seeing that she was silent and there was a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Condescise to be an orphan's regular wife, Ah Sheng, okay?"
She was suddenly surprised and raised her eyes: "What do you mean?"
He smiled: "Although in my heart, you are my only wife, but in the eyes of outsiders and my officials, I want you to be the most respected Mrs. Sikong Zheng, and I want to give you a wife who is barely worthy of you." Sheng's fame and status, even if it's not enough."
She couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help but probe into the bottom line: "You...deposed Ding Xi?"
"Because she has been blaming me for Zixiu's affairs, I simply reconciled with her to leave a clean end between me and her, and no one can make you unhappy anymore."
After Cao Cao took his troops back to Xudu, he treated the newly surrendered Guan Yu very kindly, worshiped him as General Pian and Marquis of Han Shouting, rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold and stunning beauties in the name of Emperor Han, and allocated him the most luxurious palace in the capital.
