Chapter 341: Diligent and Readful
That night, in Cao Cao's study in Jiyin County, the lights were bright, and he did not go out for a night, and he did not see Cao Cao himself coming out of the study, and the attendants sent dinner and supper, Cao Cao only said that he was not hungry, and asked the messenger who delivered the meal to go back quickly, and not to disturb his old man's cultivation. Cao Cao didn't eat or drink water all night, and just asked the attendant to send a rag twice halfway, so the night passed like a bean.
The next morning, Cao Cao still didn't eat breakfast, but just held himself in the study and read hard.
Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao came to see Cao Cao, and after hearing that the attendants talked about Cao Cao's situation, the two masterminds suddenly became a little uneasy.
Cao Gong didn't sleep all night, didn't he have some evil disease?
The two of them didn't care about etiquette and humility, and hurriedly ran to Cao Cao's study.
In the study at this time, Cao Cao was looking at the top half of the strange book on the table with a depressed face, and there was an indescribable depression and irritability in his heart.
Although I don't know if this work was made by the potter himself, Cao Cao has to admit that the writing of this book is really excellent.
The content is detailed, the forms are diverse, the emotional colors are vivid, especially the text details are processed in detail, which can be described as lifelike, making people have an immersive feeling.
Cao Cao is almost forty years old, and he can be regarded as well-read, but he has never read a boutique that mainly describes the interaction of characters' behaviors and handles the details so delicately.
It's really refreshing, it's so enjoyable!
The problem is that the little brute of the potter, who didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, actually only put the upper half of the strange book in the box, and the second half of the contents, Cao Cao turned the box upside down and didn't find it.
What surprised Cao Cao the most was that the potters actually listed some names with profound meanings in the small notes of the last volume, and exaggerated them infinitely.
What Xiangyang Liu Biao's wife Cai.
Lu Bu's general, Qin Yilu's wife, Du Shi.
Zhang Ji's wife, Zou.
Yuan Shu's concubine, Feng Fang's daughter of Feng Fang, the imperial court's secretary, and so on.
Anyway, they are all other people's daughters-in-law, and the appearance of these daughters-in-law is also moderately exaggerated by the potter's genius.
After this night, I only saw Cao Cao's fire, my whole body was hot, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Now what bothers Cao Cao the most is ...... This surnamed Tao actually only wrote half of it!
At the critical moment, it came to an abrupt end!
Is the little calf surnamed Tao so unparticular? What's the content behind it?
You're giving me an update! Broken Tone Dog!
What kind of trouble are you going to make when you kid writes half of Cao?
Cao Cao poured all the poems in the box to the ground, and then kicked them to the side.
Cao Cao was no longer interested in those poems.
He just vigorously pulled around in the slip and whether there was any follow-up content about Dow.
After looking for a while, Cao Cao was completely disappointed.
I just wanted to look up to the sky and curse a few swear words, when I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao's shouts of "Ming Gong, Ming Gong" have also been vaguely transmitted.
As soon as Cao Cao heard the shouts of these two people, he suddenly knew that it was going to be bad, and he hurriedly packed up the slips in his hand and stuffed them all into the wooden box.
Just when Cao Cao had just closed the wooden box, he saw that Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao had already rushed into the house in a panic.
"Ming Gong, how are you doing?"
Cheng Yu's age is not young, he is already in his fifties, and he is basically the age when he can be a grandfather.
But for the sake of the lord, Cheng Yu couldn't care about anything else.
Cao Cao had just straightened his posture and sat in front of the table, his black face faintly reddening.
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to grit a stiff smile.
"What are the two gentlemen panicking, so anxious early in the morning? Cao's body is fine. ”
Dong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and bowed his hand and said: "Ming Gong forgives the sin, the two of us just listened to the attendant and said that Ming Gong didn't sleep all night last night, and the water and rice were not exhausted, so I rushed to check on Ming Gong's situation. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed twice embarrassed and weak-hearted, but did not speak.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously for a while, then lowered his eyes, but found that in front of a large box in front of Cao Cao's desk, there was a scroll of missing slips.
"Huh? Ming Gong, your official document has been dropped. Cheng Yu said as he stepped forward to pick it up.
Cao Cao was taken aback when he saw this.
Shicai was in a hurry, and actually left the first volume of Tao's strange book.
"Hugh looks!"
Cao Cao was so frightened that he jumped up from the soft collapse all of a sudden, and was about to grab it in a hurry.
If you were someone else, you might listen to Cao Cao's words, but Cheng Yu's personality is extremely strong, and he has contradicted Cao Cao many times and made a lot of noise, and he belongs to the kind of direct minister who is not used to his boss at all.
Cao Cao is also a cheap, and the more Cheng Yu treats him like this, the more intimate he is with Cheng Yu.
In the long run, Cheng Yu will be a little free in front of Cao Cao.
The old man's pace was extremely vigorous, and when he went up, he picked up the slip and unfolded it in front of him.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Cao Cao stood in place, looking up at the canopy, pretending not to know anything.
Young......
"This, Ming Gong! You wrote this? Cheng Yu turned his head to look at Cao Cao in surprise.
Cao Cao shuddered when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Nonsense! This has nothing to do with Cao! ”
Dong Zhao was also curious, so he put his head on Cheng Yu's shoulder and looked down.
Dong Zhao read extremely fast, and after looking at ten lines at a glance for a while, his eyes suddenly straightened, and his honest round face showed a shocked look.
"This, this...... How to describe it, what a splendid article! ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yu squinted at him.
Dong Zhao coughed and hurriedly changed his tone: "Customary! It's really cheesy! Lord, who sent this article? ”
Cao Cao hurriedly explained: "This article is a poem sent to Cao by a potter! It has nothing to do with me, it's all from that thief! ”
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, he stroked his beard and frowned: "Potter Xiaoer, send this ...... Qiwen, what does it mean? ”
Cao Cao regained his usual clarity, and said after a long silence: "The thief is cunning, don't you want to mess with my mind with this text?" ”
Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao glanced at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.
"If that's the case, that thief really underestimated Ming Gong! Ming Gong is concerned about the sea, and has the ambition to swallow the eight wildernesses, how can he be bewitched by such a trick? It seems that this thief surnamed Tao is not as good as we think, just playing some tricks. Cheng Yu touched his beard and said confidently.
Dong Zhao also agreed: "Who said it wasn't? People who can write such articles will not be of great interest in the future, but they are vulgar people, and they will not be successful...... It seems that our previous guess was really good, Ming Gong, it seems that on the side of the Xuzhou army, we can rest assured for the time being, and first deal with the rebellion in Yanzhou and the generals of Xiliang, and after clearing the troubles, we will conquer Xuzhou in one fell swoop. ”
Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Good ...... Dong Zhao, you stay in Jiyin County, continue to negotiate with the pottery thief on behalf of Cao, be sure to delay the time as much as possible, let the pottery thief think he has a plan, concentrate on transferring the population of Liang, Cao and Zhongde will go to Yanjin in the coming day, and after the civil strife is quickly quelled, then return to the division to conquer Xuzhou! ”
"No!"
After the order was decided, Dong Zhao turned his head and went back to arrange everything, while Cao Cao left Cheng Yu behind.
Cheng Yu discussed with Cao Cao for a while the specific details of the future use of troops, but suddenly heard Cao Cao say: "Zhongde, do you know that Zhang Ji has a wife, the Zou family?" ”
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”
"Then Lu Bu has a lieutenant general named Qin Yilu?"
"Haven't you heard, Ming Gong has something to do?"
"Oh, no, it's fine."
