Chapter 14: The Last Question
Seeing Cao Chong walking out so quickly, Wusun Fan was shocked.
He calmed down and frightened Cao Chong: "Master Cao, once the incense is burned, it cannot be restored; Therefore, you only have one chance, if you are wrong......"
Cao Chong looked confident and said loudly: "One chance is enough!" ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "Special envoy, please give me incense!" ”
Wusun Fan had to hand over the incense obediently.
I saw Cao Chong lighting one of the incense sticks at both ends; The other incense stick was lit only at one end.
It takes one hour to burn a stick of incense, so it takes half an hour to light both ends together.
When the first incense is burned, the second incense is also burned for half an hour, and there is still half an hour left!
Therefore, when the first incense was burned, Cao Chong also lit the second incense that was burning at the other end.
From this time on, until the second stick of incense is burned, it will be fifteen minutes, that is, a quarter of an hour!
Cao Chong explained while operating.
Although the principle is a bit winding, everyone quickly understands it when he explains it like this.
For a time, the ministers were full of praise.
Although everyone knows that this is the result of Jiang Feng pointing him out, on the surface, he should still praise it.
As for Wusun Va, like a defeated rooster, he looked depressed.
……
After Cao Chong's demonstration, he bowed to Jiang Feng, and then returned to Cao Cao's side.
Cao Cao Dayue stroked his son's shoulder and said, "Chong'er, what reward do you want?" ”
Cao Chong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Father, can you give any reward?" ”
Cao Cao didn't think twice and said, "Of course! ”
Cao Chong said: "The child wants to worship Mr. Bailong as a teacher!" ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart moved!
Although Cao Chong was still young, Cao Cao had always had the intention of supporting him to succeed his great cause.
It's a pity that Cao Chong is a concubine, let alone the eldest son, let alone compete with Cao Pi, even Cao Zhi, he can't compete!
Cao Chong's biological mother is Mrs. Huan, in addition to Cao Chong, she also has two sons, Cao Ju and Cao Yu, who are deeply favored by Cao Cao.
However, pampering alone is not enough.
You must know that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's biological mother is the main family of the Bian family and Cao Cao, and the children of the Bian family are also calling for wind and rain in the current dynasty, and they have a force that cannot be underestimated.
Putting aside his life experience, Cao Pi is far-sighted, insidious and repeated, just like Liu Bei; Cao Zhi is talented and famous, more like Sun Quan.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao has the heart to support, it is difficult for Cao Chong to succeed.
Because a gentleman often can't fight a villain!
However, if Mr. Bailong assists......
In an instant, Cao Cao seemed to have gotten something, looked at Jiang Feng, and said expectantly: "Sir, are you willing to take my family Lin'er as an apprentice?" ”
To be honest, Jiang Feng was a little hesitant in his heart.
Although Cao Chong is a good boy and has the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman, he has a bad fate; Probably next year, Cao Chong will die of a strange disease!
Jiang Feng didn't dare to guarantee whether his appearance would avoid the fate of his premature death!
And once he becomes Cao Chong's master, the other descendants of the Cao family will inevitably regard themselves as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
However, Cao Cao had already spoken, and although Jiang Feng hesitated, he couldn't refuse.
Moreover, Jiang Feng really liked Cao Chong's child very much, so he said happily: "The lower officials can't ask for it, Prime Minister Xie and Gongzi Xie trust!" ”
Cao Cao smiled happily and said, "In this case, I will choose another auspicious day and hold an apprenticeship ceremony for the two of you!" ”
Looking at this scene, the ministers nodded again and again.
Only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who were not far away, glanced at each other; The eyes of the two brothers showed a light of fear.
……
Cao Cao took a sip of wine, took advantage of his good mood, and said: "Special envoy, there is a third question, you can also say it, Gu can answer you now!" ”
Wusun Van failed one after another, and he already had cowardice.
However, at this point, there is no point in delaying it.
How to win or lose, you can only resign yourself to fate!
Wusun Fan walked out for the third time and said, "Shan Yu's third question is a sentence!" ”
Cao Cao said: "Say! ”
Wusun said: "Shan Yu ordered me to ask the prime minister, when will the prime minister drive his troops south to exterminate Sun and Liu?" ”
Hearing this, the room suddenly fell silent.
This question is not only curious about the Huns, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
It's easy to drive troops south!
However, it is by no means an easy matter to exterminate Sun and Liu!
Sun Quan is based on the land of Jiangdong, taking the Yangtze River as a natural risk, although he is young, he has won the trust of his subordinates; Wen has Lu Su, Wu has Zhou Yu, and the strength is definitely not to be underestimated!
As for Liu, of course, it refers to Liu Bei.
In terms of spheres of influence, in fact, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou can be called princes.
However, compared with the ambitious Liu Bei, these two Liu are just generals.
Jing and Yi Erzhou will fall into Liu Bei's hands sooner or later, but he is embarrassed to start directly because of the reputation of a hypocrite he has set.
Liu Bei is very tolerant, quite a bit of the style of King Goujian of Yue back then, and his Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are even more peerless generals!
Not only that, the secret agent came to report that Liu Bei went deep into Nanyang Longzhong not long ago and invited the clever Mr. Zhuge Liang of Wolong to assist him!
There are clouds in the time: Wolong and phoenix, the two of them can settle the world!
Now that Liu Bei not only has sufficient generals and loyalty, but also has strategists, it must be even more tricky to deal with!
……
Cao Cao's face was cloudy.
Because this question is so difficult to answer!
On the march to fight, strength is certainly part of the factor, but the more important factor is talent!
Whoever has more talent has a high probability of winning!
Thinking about the original battle of Guandu, he won more with less, with 20,000 horses, against Yuan Shao's 110,000 horses; In the end, at the cost of 8,000 people and horses, he killed a full 100,000 people on the other side!
Isn't this because of their own talent reserves?
If it was a few days ago, Cao Cao really didn't dare to answer this question easily.
But now......
Cao Cao suddenly stood up, walked to Jiang Feng's side, grabbed Jiang Feng's hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "Wusun Fan, go back and tell your Shan Yu, with the assistance of Mr. Bailong, next year, he will drive his troops south to exterminate Sun and Liu's two thieves!" ”
"The prime minister is mighty!"
"The prime minister is mighty!"
"The prime minister is mighty!"
……
After Cao Cao finished speaking, the ministers shouted in unison, full of momentum!
Seeing this scene, Wusun Va's legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
sighed in his heart: "Cao thief, sure enough, a generation of heroes, just beyond reach!" ”
……
It took a long time for the hall to calm down.
Cao Cao looked at Wusun Fan and said, "Is the envoy satisfied with this answer?" ”
Wusun Fan sighed and said, "The prime minister is mighty! I believe that with the assistance of a genius like Mr. Bailong, the prime minister will be invincible and invincible! ”
Cao Cao laughed!
Wusun Fan said again: "Don't hide it, my family is single, and they are already on the way." Half a month at the latest, Shan Yu will arrive in Xudu and personally meet His Majesty and the Prime Minister! ”
