Chapter 11: Sun Tzu XIII: The Room
Cao Miao was grounded and couldn't explore the terrain in a bright way, so he could only make slight adjustments.
He decided to read a little first and get acquainted with the times.
Cao Miao himself had a limited education, only completed basic enlightenment, read some "Analects" and "Filial Piety", and did not read much after the onset of the disease, and even forgot a lot of what he had read before. He was educated in his previous life, but most of his energy was spent on learning foreign languages, and his mother tongue was average.
After entering the drama school, he put some effort into literature, especially ancient poetry. Later, he became an actor, acted in some costume dramas, and also had a rough understanding of history, which can be regarded as a rough literary history. I remember that at that time, I admired my current father Cao Zhi so much that I threw myself to the ground, and memorized a lot of his poems. It is precisely because of these accumulations that he can be recognized by the director and take over the important role of Cao Miao in the new play.
Now that he has become a landlord and experienced life has become a time-travel, his views on Cao Zhi have changed somewhat.
This man is too cowardly to be useful. Better do it than wish it done. If you want to change this situation and live a really good life, you have to rely on yourself.
Before changing this era, we must first integrate into this era. If you want to fit in with this era, you have to read a little bit of books, and no matter what time it is, there will be no way out for the illiterate.
After dinner, it rained, lightning and thunder, neither suitable for meditation and qi, nor suitable for boxing, Cao Miao sat in front of the bookcase, loudly beckoned the green peach to grind ink, red apricot incense, the prince to read.
Qingtao seemed to be prepared, and asked, "What book does the prince want to read?" ”
Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, remembering that there seemed to be "The Art of War" on the bookshelf, so he said: "The Art of War." ”
"Which one?"
Cao Miao turned his head to take a look, and said casually: "Use room." The new drama he prepared before was a costume spy war drama, which mentioned "The Room" in "The Art of War", and he made some desk preparations for this, not knowing everything, maybe he could show it.
Qingtao got up, went to the bookcase and took out a green sac, pulled the silk rope, took out a roll of bamboo slips from it, and spread it in front of Cao Miao. Cao Miao only glanced at it, and the ambition that she planned to show off was drenched in heavy rain, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.
I knew it was a kanji, but I just didn't know it.
Shouldn't the Three Kingdoms era be regular script? I have also seen Zhong Xuan's "Declaration Table", why these bamboo slips are all seal scripts, and they are densely written, which makes people have a dense phobia.
"What is this?" Cao Miao was a little annoyed and angry, and her face was ugly.
Qingtao took a look at it, and her face suddenly changed. "The prince forgave the sin, but the servant was negligent and took the wrong one." quickly put away the bamboo slips, returned to the bookshelf, changed a volume, and spread it out again in front of Cao Miao.
This time it is a lishu, and the handwriting is still not big, but it is extremely beautiful, three points stronger than the professionals invited by the crew in the previous life.
"Good calligraphy." Cao Miao's face eased and praised from the bottom of his heart.
Qingtao lowered her head and remained silent. Hongxing said, "Prince, this is Sister Qingtao's calligraphy." Not only this volume, but also the books in this room were copied word by word by her. ”
"Just talk too much!" Qingtao snorted.
Hongxing immediately closed her mouth, her dark eyes rolled slightly, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Cao Miao looked at the green peach. "Do you still know the seal book?"
"Roughly acquainted with a few." Qingtao lowered her head and said softly while grinding ink. She is very skilled in grinding ink, pinching Yanzi with three slender fingers, it looks like she has no strength, but it is extremely smooth, the ink in the inkstone is rippling, but there is no overflow, much stronger than Ah Hu.
Seeing that Qingtao had no intention of saying more, Cao Miao didn't ask again, caring too much about a servant girl was not in line with his identity as a mad prince.
The content of "The Room" is not much, only more than 20 Janes, five or six hundred words. It's just that Cao Miao is not used to this way of writing, and it took a lot of time to identify and ponder word by word.
After reading the last sentence "The important thing of this soldier is also moved by the three armies", he suddenly felt a move in his heart. Recently, there have been rumors in Jingshi that the Son of Heaven of Chang'an in the West has died, and the minister wants to support Cao Zhi as the emperor, will it be related to Zhuge Liang of the Northern Expedition?
Cao Wei has a tradition of taking the clan as a general, and there were Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhang before, and now there are Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu. But there is one person who has never been given the opportunity, or rather, he himself has not taken the opportunity.
That is his father Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi has been with the army since he was a child, and he followed Cao Cao to fight in the east and west, and he is a soldier who knows the army. It's just that I'm relatively young and haven't had a chance. When he was twenty-three years old, Cao Cao gave him his first chance: to stay in Yecheng, and specially used his own analogy of making a Dunqiu order at the age of twenty-three, which shows the weight of expectations.
Even though Cao Pi was later made his heir, Cao Cao still gave Cao Zhi the opportunity to command the army, and asked him to lead his troops to reinforce Fancheng and rescue Cao Ren.
At that time, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked Huaxia, if Cao Zhi did not have such ability, Cao Cao would not have made such a decision.
It's a pity that Cao Zhi got drunk and missed this opportunity, and he never recovered.
Although Cao Zhi intermittently made mistakes and did some inexplicable stupid things, his talent was known to the world, and Zhuge Liang was no exception. According to historical records, Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang were written through letters. With Zhuge Liang's prudence, it is logical that he will not be unaware of Cao Rong's reactivation of Cao Zhi, spreading rumors and sowing discord in advance.
It is no secret that Zhuge Liang makes good use of it. Meng Da was attacked and killed by Sima Yi, which was probably the result of Zhuge Liang's use.
He's the enemy, and there's nothing wrong with that. But his father and son are a little wronged when they lie down with guns.
Thinking of becoming an opponent with Zhuge Liang, Cao Miao was under a lot of pressure.
He has acted in many plays, often having to substitute the situation of the characters at the time, and analyze the possible emotions and reactions of the characters. Analyzing Zhuge Liang in this way, he can certainly understand Zhuge Liang's helplessness, and he is also more aware of Zhuge Liang's cleverness.
If it were possible, he would never want to be Zhuge Liang's opponent.
Of course, he didn't want to be Zhuge Liang's teammate.
If the rumor was released by a spy arranged by Zhuge Liang, then what kind of spy is this spy? Was it a Shu Han spy who infiltrated Cao Wei, or a spy who rebelled from within Cao Wei, or was it simply someone who was dissatisfied with Cao Zhi within Cao Wei, who was just used by Zhuge Liang?
The more Cao Miao thought about it, the more she felt that it was necessary to have an interview with Han Dong as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, you have to pry Han Dong's mouth open and figure out who is behind it. If you want to fight back, you always have to know who the enemy is.
After meeting, how to persuade Han Dong to cooperate? Is it strong or calculated?
Cao Miao remembered the jade owl seal, and the tip of her nose seemed to smell a faint fragrance again, mysterious and deadly allure.
