Chapter 215: Consultation

Cao Cao cautiously glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Old Cai, this is not a place to talk, why don't we go home first and talk in detail!" By the way, I also informed Lord Wang and them to discuss this matter together, so that there are many people and great strength, so that they can find a way to deal with Shichang together. ”

Cai Yong nodded and said appreciatively: "It's still Meng De who thinks thoughtfully, let's go home and talk first!" Then Cai Yong returned to the car, and Yun Bin looked at Cao Cao with a gloomy face, turned around and said, "Prepare to leave, follow Cao Cao, behind Lord Cao Mengde." After Cao Cao instructed to invite someone, Cao Cao approached Yun Bin with a warm smile on his face, and said cordially: "I don't know the name of the little brother Gao!" ”

Yun Bin was not good at revealing his originally gloomy face, and he also pretended to be friendly, and said with a smile: "The younger brother's surname is Yun Mingbin!" Zihan of the word. The first time I came to Luoyang, I would like to ask Lord Meng De to take care of me! Hahahaha、、、"

Cao Cao's bold size, but his eyes secretly looked at Guan Yu, patted Yun Bin's shoulder, and said: "You and I hit it off at first sight, so it's better to be called brothers in the future!" It's rusty to call me Lord Mengde! Call me Mengde, it looks kind like this, what do you think? ”

Yun Bin didn't know that Cao Cao spied on Guan Yu, it seems that he has paid attention to Guan Yu, in history, Cao Cao admires and cherishes Guan Yu! Worship to the point that the beard has to be kept like Guan Yu, and cherish the hard work to get the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, but unfortunately in the end, even if he sends gold, power, and the beautiful Diao Chan, he can't keep Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, in the current history of change, Cao Cao still paid attention to Guan Yu at first sight, but ignored the mighty Zhang Fei on the side, it seems that the fate of Cao Cao and Guan Yu cannot be changed! Yun Bindao will not worry that Guan Yu will be abducted by Cao Cao, because Guan Yu is a loyal person and will not abandon himself because of Cao Cao's temptation.

Yun Bin naturally took Cao Cao's hand and said with a smile: "Why not?" Brother Cao, little brother is polite! Hahahaha、、、" Cao Cao also grabbed Yun Bin's hand and said kindly: "It's been hard along the way, dare to ask Zihan why he came to Luoyang?" Why are you still with Cai Lao? Tell me about it. ”

If other people meet such an enthusiastic Cao Cao, they must feel deeply away from home and relatives, I am afraid that the eighteenth generation of the ancestors will turn it out and tell Cao Cao, but unfortunately Cao Cao met Yun Bin, who is young on the outside but an old monster on the inside! Yun Bin said unhurriedly: "I came to Luoyang to get a fame, and I happened to meet Cai Lao on the road, so I came to Luoyang together." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Yun Bin in surprise, although Yun Bin's words were simple, but it showed that Yun Bin's artistic realm of speaking was very high, and he did not reveal any information that was beneficial to Cao Cao, and the whole paragraph did not leak, so that Cao Cao could not ask what happened! Cao Cao said secretly: "This young man is not simple! It's not like it's calm, what kind of teenager is this? It's just an old man. ”

Cao Cao turned around and said to Mo Yuan and the others: "Thank you for your hard work, I will arrange a few tables of wine and food in the inn to treat you later." Mo Yuan and the others were overjoyed, in the past few days, they have eaten and slept in the open air, and they have eaten dry food, and their mouths have long faded out of the birds, and they all shouted excitedly when they heard Cao Cao's reward. Yun Bin secretly sneered: "Cao Cao, don't think that you can buy my brothers with a small meal, they are all good friends and good brothers who I grew up with, how can those ordinary subordinates be compared." ”

Yun Bin pretended to be grateful and said, "Then I will represent my brothers, thank you Brother Cao for your hospitality!" Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Little meaning, what is there to thank you for!" I don't know if this strong man saw that Cao Cao finally paid attention to Zhang Fei, Yun Bin smiled and said: "This is my second brother Zhang Fei, the word Yide!" Second brother, Brother Cao wants to get to know you! ”

Zhang Fei's leopard eyes and tiger whiskers trembled, and he looked fierce and vicious, and said nonchalantly: "This is to know me!" It is really hypocritical to want to know the eldest brother, but to make such a big turn. Hum! Cao Cao didn't show any embarrassment, and said naturally and calmly: "Zhang Zhuangshi is right, Meng De has fallen down!" Meng De really wanted to get to know Senior Brother Yun, lest he be too reckless and anxious, and it would be bad to attract the dissatisfaction of Senior Brother Yun! Since Zhang Zhuangshi has pointed it out, I also happened to take this opportunity to get to know Elder Brother Xiayun, can I? ”

Guan Yu didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a mind, and now that he is in someone else's territory, Guan Yu is not easy to show a dissatisfied look, and said calmly: "Yes!" However, Guan is now guilty, and it is not good for fear of causing trouble to adults, my brother has always been straight, and he doesn't know how to measure, so please don't be surprised by adults. ”

Cao Cao took Guan Yu's hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yun has an extraordinary temperament, I don't think he is a person who does evil, there must be something hidden to be like this!" Although my official position Cao Mengde is not very big, it should be able to help Elder Brother Yun clear his name. As for Brother Ling, a bold and righteous man, he is the person I deserve to get acquainted, how can I be surprised? It's only because I'm in the middle of the court that I have developed this hypocritical appearance, and I have no choice but to do so! Please also ask Zhang Zhuangshi not to be strange. ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Zhang Fei, who was originally disgusted and disdainful of Cao Cao, suddenly made a 360-degree change to Cao Cao, and his expression eased, and said, "I didn't expect you to be involuntarily!" I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly! Hahahaha、、、"

Yun Bin had to admire Cao Cao's ability! not only resolved the embarrassment, but also perfectly won Zhang Fei's favor, and by the way, he narrowed the distance between him and Guan Yu. How many of these skills can be found in the Three Kingdoms? Historically, the alliance of the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, because the people's hearts were like scattered sand, no one obeyed anyone, or Cao Cao alone balanced the alliance army, so that the alliance army could continue to maintain, although the alliance army was dispersed in the end, but Cao Cao can not be blamed, only Yuan Shao's incompetence can be blamed, which led to the alliance army that was finally balanced, and the situation that Dong Zhuo was not completely defeated, collapsed and finally, under the leadership of Cao Cao, came to Cai Yong's house unhindered, only to see that the scale of this house is okay, although it is not very large, and the decoration is relatively simple, But it is quaint and full of serenity and serenity. Entering the house, the furnishings inside are also very simple and idle, which shows Cai Yong's honest style.

Cai Yan was sent back to the boudoir by the servants who were waiting early, but Cai Yong took Cao Cao Yunbin into the study, while Guan Yu and the others were left in the living room and served with tea. When I entered the study, the first impression was the book, the second impression was the aroma of the book, and the third impression was elegant! The three simple impressions summed up everything in the study, the mountains of books, and the plum blossom branches sticking out of the study window, simple and clear to the extreme, Yun Bin couldn't help but think a little evilly: "This old guy doesn't hide his treasure anywhere, he carries a candle to count the money every night!" ”

"Mengde, tell me, what happened? Why did the imperial court move the decree to establish a city tax? At this time, Cai Yong sat on the main seat and said majestically.

Cao Cao also seemed to be shocked by Cai Yong's might, bowed his head slightly and said: "The emperor thinks that the leopard room is not spacious enough to enjoy it, so he wants Zhang Rang to find a way to expand the leopard room!" And Zhang let the guy know that the treasury had no money, so he instigated the emperor to set up this entry tax to increase the revenue of the treasury. ”

"Smack!" Cai Yong was furious, slapped the table made of unknown wood, and scolded: "This damn eunuch! Knowing that the country is now in turmoil, and still come up with such a way to destroy the foundation of the country, it's really a bastard, no, the emperor must change his mind, otherwise the people will be even more disappointed in the imperial court because of this entry tax, and when the time comes, the imperial court will lose the hearts of the people, and things will be dangerous! ”

When Cao Cao was about to say something, he looked at Yun Bin with embarrassed eyes and looked at Cai Yong hintly. Cai Yong suddenly understood what Cao Cao meant, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Zihan has great wisdom in his chest, maybe he can help us come up with ideas, Meng De, you just say it's okay Cao Cao looked at Yun Bin apologetically, and said: "Don't be surprised, Brother Yun, this matter is very important, and it will bring ruin to ordinary people, so I have to be cautious." ”

Yun Bin said indifferently: "It's okay! Brother Cao also did this for the sake of the overall situation, even if it were me, he would also be afraid of an outsider. Cao Cao saw that Yun Bin was not the slightest dissatisfied, and suddenly Yun Bin's impression was even deeper, and then said to Cai Yong: "Cai Lao doesn't know, not long ago, Lord Wang and his party knelt in the palace for a day and a night, and finally had to retreat because of physical exhaustion!" It is precisely because of this time that the emperor has ordered that if anyone dares to stop him, no matter who he is, he will be killed. ”

"Ah、、、" Cai Yong exclaimed in shock, and said sadly: "The Han Dynasty is in crisis, and the emperor is still indulging in pleasure, is there really no way to get rid of Zhang They?" When will the Han Dynasty be able to restore its former glory and peace? The poor old man has a white head! Cao Cao said coldly: "Old Cai, Meng De has a plan, but this plan is very dangerous, and it may lead to Luoyang falling into chaos, I am very embarrassed, and I ask Cai Lao to decide." ”

Cai Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "What is the plan?" Come on. As long as you can get rid of the Ten Constants and pay a big price, it will be worth it for the Han Dynasty Cao Cao did not say it immediately, but turned to Yun Bin and said solemnly: "Brother Yun, this plan is very important, you had better quit, you can avoid unnecessary disasters!" If Brother Yun insists on listening, he will definitely fall into the big quagmire of the imperial court and will not be able to extricate himself! And there's a good chance of death, you have to think about it! ”

If an ordinary teenager listens to Cao Cao's words, he must choose to listen to it with enthusiasm, who wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head? This is a humiliating act, especially in an era like ancient times, when reputation was taken seriously. But Yun Bin still chose to listen, because Yun Bin knew that since he entered the study, he had already been on Cai Yong's thief ship, and if he quit, I am afraid that Cai Yong would immediately kill himself, because he knew that Cai Yong and they had to deal with the Ten Constants, although the two factions often fought each other, but this time the situation was special, even the Ten Constants who often fought would be cautious. Another reason is to let Cao Cao underestimate himself, under such a choice, Cao Cao will think that he is an inexperienced hot-blooded teenager, although he is smart, but he has not grown up, and he is not a big threat.

Sure enough, hearing that Yun Bin chose the latter, Cao Cao's eyes became dull from the original attention, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, it's still a teenager!" If I give him some more time to grow, maybe I will look up to him, he is a young man with great potential, and his achievements in the future should not be small. ”

On the contrary, in the face of such a choice, Cao Cao must not hesitate to choose the former, because without strength, Cao Cao will not play with his own life. In history, Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, and was killed by Ma Chao when he fled to Tongguan, which shows that Cao Cao values life far more than image and reputation, and it is precisely because of this different thinking that Cao Cao will become the biggest hero of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei is because he cares too much about his benevolent reputation, so he often loses battles, even if he fights Lu Xun in the last battle, it is because of his reputation, and he underestimates Lu Xun, who is not very famous, which will lead to Liu Beijun being defeated by Lu Xun's fire attack in the end! And he, Liu Bei, fell in reputation because of this battle, and died of anger and hatred. And Sun Quan, although he has the assets of the emperor, but he does not have the courage of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although he has ambitions, he does not have enough courage to implement it, and he will only protect himself, so he will not show much reputation during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Bo Jiao、、、 you are finally back, at this time, an angry old voice came from outside the study. Cai Yong was overjoyed, got up and opened the door, looked at the comer, and said happily: "Zishi, Wenxian, Zigan, and Fengshang are here!" Come on in. Yun Bin looked curiously at the four elders who came in, and the first one to come in was Prince Wang Yun, whose body was quite tall, his face was majestic and extraordinary, and his temperament was a little arrogant. Then there is Yang Biao and Yang Wenxian, who is a little fat in size, but with an amiable atmosphere. The third is Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, who is tall and thin, but he looks capable and extraordinary, which should not be underestimated. The last one is today's national uncle Dong Cheng Dong fashion! He is of average stature, but he is the youngest among the senators, perhaps because of maintenance.

Seeing the four people who came, Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off at all, hurriedly greeted him, and respectfully saluted: "Elder Wang, Elder Yang, Elder Lu, Elder Dong!" Looking at the respectful Cao Cao, the four of them nodded with satisfaction, Wang Yun raised his head slightly, and praised arrogantly: "Yes, Meng De!" Now that you're in an important position, you can't be proud of it! Dong Cheng frowned and said, "Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business, let's talk about business first!" ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they all entered the study and sat down, Yang Biao looked at Cai Yong and sighed: "Alas! I'll take it upon myself to preside over this meeting! Ten times to be chaotic to listen to the saints, do you have any high opinions or plans? While everyone is around, don't hide it, and say whatever comes to mind. Wang Yun saw that everyone didn't mean to speak first, and when he was about to say something, he finally found Yun Bin who was standing on the side indifferently, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you?" ”

Yun Bin was stunned for a moment, and scolded secretly: "Damn, Lao Tzu plans to make sculptures and don't give them to him, the bad luck of the real mother!" Thinking about it, Yun Bin was still expressionless, and said: "Back to the adult, the little one is just a nobody." ”

Yun Bin didn't think so, because the name of Gao Shun reminded him of Lu Bu's fierce general in history, also called Gao Shun, but he was a celebrity, and he had an army known as the trapped camp under his command! However, it is a pity that although Lu Bu knew that Gao Shun had strength, he did not know how to appoint him, and was finally killed by Cao Cao, which became a great regret in history.

For Gao Shun's calmness, later generations will give it very high [Gao Shun is a real loyal minister, a far-sighted and far-sighted strategist. Gao Shun is a person who attaches great importance to personal cultivation. He was very dignified and strict in governing the army. Gao Shun did not drink alcohol, which was rare for a military general at that time. He also does not accept gifts from others. Hou Cheng, who was also a general of Lu Bu's troops, once lost his war horse and later recovered it. The generals brought gifts to congratulate him, and Hou Cheng entertained the generals with the wine he brewed. Before the feast, Hou Cheng first sent some wine and meat to Lu Bu. LΓΌ Bu was furious because LΓΌ Bu had placed a ban on alcohol in the army. Hou Cheng was very frightened, so he hurriedly went back to pour out the wine and returned all the gifts given by the generals. "Sushu" says: "Depreciate the color of wine, so there is no stain." Avoid suspicion, so it is correct. Gao Shun did this. 】

Gao Shun is loyal to the Lord, even if Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, and planned to beg to worship Cao Cao as his father, such a lowly lord, Gao Shun did not blink, and did not wait for Cao Cao to say a word, so calmly took righteousness, as if to say "Lao Tzu disdains to talk to you" so bold, in the Three Kingdoms heroes, it is difficult to find a person whose courage is compared with Gao Shun. For Yun Bin, there is a lack of talents, such a loyal and capable person, how can Yun Bin let it go, so for this competition, Yun Bin plans to seriously test whether this Gao Shun is the Gao Shun in history.

"Zihan, what are you thinking? Don't think about it, let's go to the bar first! Don't spoil the wine. Cao Cao was afraid that Yun Bin would be pressured, after all, Yun Bin was just a teenager, so he was in a hurry to pull Yun Bin to drink, and wanted to use wine to eliminate his sorrows and eliminate Yun Bin's psychological pressure. But I don't know that Yun Bin is thinking about how to subdue a super talent, if Cao Cao knows Gao Shun, I'm afraid he will run into Dong Cheng's mansion in a hurry. Yun Bin turned his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Cao, I was thinking about it for a while, and I hope Brother Cao will forgive me!" In order to make amends, how about the younger brother drinking and punishing himself with three glasses? ”

Cao Cao smiled boldly: "Hahahaha、、、 Brother Yun can think of the best, isn't it too stingy to punish three cups, at least three altars are interesting enough, right!" What is Brother Yun coming to Luoyang for? See if Brother Wei can help you, Brother Yun must not be polite, just say it, otherwise you will look down on me Cao Cao too much. ”

Yun Bin looked at Cao Cao's sincere gaze, a little moved, but when he thought of Cao Cao, who was full of ambition in the future, his grateful heart suddenly faded, but he still pretended to be grateful on the surface and said: "Since this is the case, then thank you Brother Cao, the younger brother came to Luoyang this time in order to seek a fame, go to the border to help the local people in dire straits, and at the same time, the younger brother also dreams of bringing his elite soldiers and good generals to kill the barbarians and revitalize the reputation of my China!" When I am old, I only want to leave a good name as a border marquis, so that foreign barbarians, when they hear my name, they dare not set foot in China. ”

"Good! Brother Yun, you are so ambitious, I Cao Mengde admires you! Although I, Cao Cao, am also prosperous in Luoyang, I feel sad every time I hear how the lives of the people in Biansai are doing. The people of Biansai are also the people of my Han Dynasty, they are suffering, and I am enjoying in Luoyang, what an irony, how many times I have dreamed of myself, holding a three-foot green peak, and dying on the battlefield, what a pride! Now that I have met a confidant, Brother Yun, you and I have the same wishes, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return, and you will die of drunkenness. ”

Cao Cao looked at Yun Bin with a radiant look and said in a heroic tone. It's like venting endless unwillingness! Cao Cao took Yun Bin to an inn, very familiar to call Xiao Er, after arranging a table of wine and food, the two sat on the second floor by the window, sat opposite each other, looking at the crowd coming and going outside the window, and the flying geese in the sky, Yun Bin smiled: "Brother Cao enjoys it so much!" Such a beautiful day, good wine and good food, it is really a great enjoyment of life. ”

After Cao Cao personally poured a large bowl of wine, he handed it to Yun Bin and said: "Just sit down, what do you enjoy or not, the most important thing is to look at people, generally I don't invite anyone to this position, Zihan!" You are the first person I value, and with your talent, the future is limitless. Another day, you can show Xu Zijiang your life, and it is not bad to improve your reputation, anyway, there is no harm, it is good to take a look. ”

It can be seen that Yun Bin doesn't care about what fate is said, so he emphasized it. Yun Bin took the bowl and saluted: "Xu Zijiang? Is that the Runan critic? The person who once commented that Brother Cao is a homeopathic minister and a hero in troubled times? But the younger brother was very strange, why did the eldest brother laugh when he heard it? After Cao Cao drank a bowl of wine, he said, "Want to know? Drink it first! Yun Bin smiled slightly, calmly drank a bowl of wine, got up and took the wine jar without changing his face, poured wine for Cao Cao, and then poured it for himself, and said: "A bowl of all dry, can Brother Cao explain?" Xu Shao's high evaluation of Brother Cao is not something that ordinary people can get! ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "It's just a false name, I don't want this false name to harm my life!" I laughed, but I wanted to ridicule Xu Zijiang for talking nonsense, and at the same time, I was secretly happy with this evaluation, which showed that I Cao Cao was also an extraordinary character! At that time, I was still young, Xu Zi will give me such a big name, how can the emperor tolerate me, a person who may become a hero? Therefore, after I got Xu Zijiang's evaluation, I laughed and ridiculed Xu Zijiang for talking nonsense, but it was in vain. But now it seems that it may really be realized, and the signs of troubled times are now appearing. ”

Yun Bin's hand was frozen for a while, and then he quickly reacted and covered up: "What the eldest brother said is really serious, I have fallen into the harm of my brothers!" However, Xu Zijiang is just a mortal, how can he judge the future fate of people like immortals? I think the eldest brother thinks a lot, although the people's lives are a little harder now, but the main reason is that they are always staying, as long as 、、、 the world will return to its former vitality. ”

Yun Bin looked around cautiously, and after making a movement to wipe his neck, he said with a smile. Cao Cao took a bite of the dish, chewed it and said: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but Xu Zijiang has never failed to say anything, I have to pay attention to it, maybe I, Cao Cao, will be a powerful minister in the future!" Hahahaha、、、 but now I'm more curious about Zihan's comments, and at the end of New Year's Day, Xu Shao will hold a Yuedan review in Runan, and then Zihan don't miss the opportunity to go to Runan once. ”

How Xu Zi will accurately determine the fate of other people, Yun Bin doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, but Cao Cao's fate can be judged so accurately, Yun Bin has to value this person, for the Yuedan comment, Yun Bin is full of curiosity, and has already made up his mind, at the end of New Year's Day, he must go once. Yun Bin nodded, took a sip of wine, picked up the dish, and said, "Since Brother Cao said so, I'll go and see, although I don't know how to believe any critic, but I am also full of curiosity, what my comments are." Brother Cao, if you show me, what kind of evaluation will I get? "Xu Zijiang will not easily evaluate anyone, only to people with great talent, I just took a lot of effort to get in, but Brother Yun has such talent, it is very easy to get in, and the evaluation will not be low." As for what kind of evaluation it will give, I don't know if it's a brother. ”

Cao Cao said cautiously. Yun Bin nodded, took the bowl to Cao Cao, the two persuaded each other to drink, and drank a hot one, if it wasn't for Yun Bin's history of Cao Cao, I'm afraid both of them would have bowed. In the end, the two of them went home drunk, and slept until dawn, when Yun Bin got up in a daze, it was already three poles in the sun, and when the washing was finished, Zhang Fei came over with a big grin, and said: "Third brother, just now Old Man Cai sent someone to wake you up and go to the study to find him!" But the third brother, why don't you call me when you drink? ”
