0257: A ridiculous man
Cao Cao's resignation was quickly answered, although in the reply, the imperial court kept Cao Cao in various ways, but Cao Cao, who had made up his mind, couldn't even persuade Liu Bei to come back, let alone the court that had already disappointed Cao Cao. [Full text reading. In this regard, the imperial court could not continue to persuade, but only reappointed Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, as the minister of Jinan, and then pacified the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion.
This is not only because of Liu Bei's contributions during this time, but Cao Cao also made a lot of efforts in it. Although he left office, Cao Cao did not want to cause the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to become strong again because of his departure, but he knew very well how wasteful the officials in this place were! If the people of Qingzhou are once again caught in the flames of war because of this, how can Cao Cao be at ease?
And Liu Bei did not live up to Cao Cao's expectations, not only ruled Jinan in an orderly manner, but also led the army to continue to oppress the living space of Xu He and other Qingzhou yellow turbans, making his life more and more difficult.
At the same time, Liu Bei implemented good governance in Jinan and severely punished adultery, which was supported by the people of Jinan. In addition, Liu Bei also moved out his preferences when he was not an official before, and his behavior of befriending celebrities and rangers. Even based on what he heard, he sent gifts and materials to an old woman in Huang County, Donglai County many times, just because her son had done something that Liu Bei admired very much.
On the other hand, Cao Cao, who returned to Peiguo County, also began to officially live a secluded life, discussing martial arts with a group of relatives and friends every day, or finding some girls to listen to songs and dances, but he was not comfortable.
"Brother Cong, Xu Shao's guy is out of the moon again~" A 16-year-old boy hurriedly ran over, shouting while running, but it was Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Chun.
"Oh? What else does that guy have in mind to come up with? Didn't he just fall out with his friend Li Kui recently, and quarreled with his brother Xu Wenxiu again? A voice full of schadenfreude came, but it was Cao Cao's other younger brother, Cao Hong, who was only 17 years old.
The voices of the two suddenly attracted everyone in the pavilion who was drinking and listening to the music, but it was Cao Cao and his disciples. They are 30-year-old Xiahoudun, 24-year-old Xiahouyuan, 18-year-old Cao Ren and Cao Cao, who is the owner, is 31 years old.
Yes, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, the two surnamed Xiahou, are also Cao Cao's younger brothers, as mentioned earlier, Cao Cao's father Cao Song's original surname was Xiahou, but he only changed his surname to Cao after recognizing the eunuch Cao Teng as his adoptive father. However, although he has lived in the Cao family since he was a child, Cao Cao is still very close to the children of the Xiahou family, especially Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, who are good brothers who have played together until they grew up.
"Ah Hong, Ah Chun, you are really idle and boring, then let Xu Shao comment on whoever he loves, and who can control his mouth?" Cao Cao shook his head and laughed, and after speaking, he drank another glass, attracting loud applause from the Xiahoudun brothers and Cao Ren.
Well, it sounds like Cao Cao seems to have a lot of disdain for Xu Shao, but when he was young, he cared a lot about the evaluation of such celebrities. Even he once bought a generous gift and asked Xu Shao to look at the appearance and evaluate him, but it was a pity, because his father recognized Cao Teng as his adoptive father, even if Cao Teng was honest all his life, and he brought countless celebrities, but in the eyes of many so-called celebrities, Cao Cao was a eunuch.
And Xu Shao is one of these people, so Xu Shao is quite disdainful and even disdainful of Cao Cao's request. It's just that he didn't expect that the young man he despised was a bold boy who was a master of art, and when he saw that Xu Shao didn't agree, he directly drew his sword and threatened.
Helplessly, Xu Shao left such a sentence, "Jun is a traitor of Qingping and a hero of troubled times." ”
At that time, Cao Cao, who was full of ranger thoughts, still felt very happy, but it was only when he had more experience as an official that he realized that Xu Shao was scolding himself around the corner. It's a pity that Xu Shao is a famous person in the world, and Cao Cao has no way to take revenge, so he can only tell his relatives and friends that Xu Shao is just a quick talker, and he is not worthy of being a famous person in the world.
And as soon as Cao Cao rendered it like this, the younger generation of the Cao family and the Xiahou family basically became despised by Xu Shao, and whenever they heard the news of him, they listened to it as a joke. Well, Qian County is next to Runan County, where Xu Shao is located, and many times, it is difficult to hear it even if you want to.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Chun immediately showed a mysterious expression and said, "The person who commented on Xu Shao this time, you will definitely be interested!" ”
"Who?" When Cao Cao heard this, he subconsciously asked, but then shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's just a joke." ”
"Haha, brother, let Ah Chun tell me about it, even if it's a joke, it's not bad~" Cao Hong laughed when he heard this, unlike Cao Cao, Xiahoudun and others who have become mature and stable because of their age, Cao Hong, who has not even reached the age of wearing a crown, is obviously very interested in Xu Shao's comments. And those who also pricked up their ears were Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan on the side.
Hearing Cao Hong's words and seeing Cao Ren's appearance again, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun glanced at each other, and then smiled helplessly, "Okay, then let's hear it~"
Hearing this, Cao Chun said mysteriously, "It's the Marquis of Wushuang!" ”
"Is it Zikang? What did Xu Shao say? Hearing Cao Chun's words, Cao Cao, who was about to drink on this joke, suddenly came to his senses, and asked with a curious baby look, and even Xiahoudun on the side couldn't help but turn his head.
Whether it is the Cao brothers or the Xiahou brothers, they have a very special feeling for Li Yi, on the one hand, because Li Yi is a friend of their brother Cao Cao, on the other hand, Li Yi's reputation is so high that he has become the number one general of the Han Dynasty, and Wu Yong has long been recognized as the first in the world. In this case, they will naturally pay more attention to Li Yi.
"That Xu Shao said that the unequaled marquis is unparalleled in martial arts, but it is difficult for martial arts to outwit others. Soldiers like to win with surprise, but joy is not good at the way of kingship......" Cao Chun said in a very leisurely tone, and as he spoke, the author looked unfathomable with his hands behind his back.
"Hahaha! I knew it would be so! That Xu Shao, commenting on anyone is just like this, if it's not like this, it's definitely like that. Such a person can become a celebrity in the world by commenting on others, it is simply laughable! Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, laughed, and greeted him even louder, "Take Mo Baolai, I want to tell Zikang the news, so that he can also know that there are such ridiculous people in the world!"
"Cao Jun ......" not long after, a euphemistic and beautiful voice came into Cao Cao's ears, and then he saw a pair of jade hands with pen, ink, paper and inkstone appear in front of his eyes.
