Sun Jian knew that such a document could not be written in two quarters of an hour, so he said: "Alliance leader, why don't you take this time to discuss the strategy of discussing Dong?" ”

I didn't want Yuan Shao to say, "Don't worry, don't worry." The specific operational strategy can be calculated only when the coalition forces are assembled. ”

Yuan Shu coughed and said, "Brother, my brother heard that a few days ago, a new musician came to the house. This person's surname is Du, his name is Kui, his face is good, and he was originally the 'Yale Lang' of the imperial court. The high level of its music is comparable to that of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the gradual departure of the Warring States. ”

"When I heard that this person came, he also brought more than a dozen followers. These entourages were originally the students recruited by Du Kui when he was appointed as 'Yalelang'. Since ancient times, famous teachers have produced high apprentices, in addition to the musician Du Kui, these students' ability to play the piano and music is also one in a thousand. Han Fu said.

"Can bring Du Kui and more than ten of his disciples back to the mansion! Brother, you are so blessed! ”

"Alliance leader, can you invite Master Du Le, so that I can feast my ears on it?"

"I hope that the alliance leader will not hesitate to share."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment, then raised the wine bottle and said with a smile: "After drinking this bottle of wine, I will invite Du Kui and his party to fulfill your Yaxing." ”

"Okay, we should respect the alliance leader!" Just when all the princes raised the wine bottles, Sun Jian was disappointed and said: "Alliance leader, Jian only feels unhappy, I don't know if I can take a tour of your mansion?" ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

"Let's go." Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce and said.

As soon as Sun's father and son got together, Cao Cao said, "In a quarter of an hour, return here." ”

"Hmm." Sun Jian replied, and then strode away. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly reacted: "Does he mean that in a quarter of an hour, his inscription will be finished, and then I will come back and discuss his inscription directly." A quarter of an hour? Like this kind of essay, can he Cao Mengde really write it in a quarter of an hour? Thinking of this, Sun Jian couldn't help but slow down, and secretly looked back at Cao Cao, who was writing an essay behind him.

As soon as Sun's father and son stepped out of the hall door, Han Fu slammed the wine bottle on the dining table and said, "Hmph! This Sun Jian is really unreasonable, shameless to face! ”

Yuan Shu patted the food table with a "boom", and said: "In my opinion, General Wentai didn't mean it, maybe he didn't like music?" ”

Because Yuan Shu's slapping force on the food table was very small, the princes present were not able to perceive this sound as thin as a mosquito and a fly. Only Cao Cao, who was writing an essay, inadvertently witnessed Yuan Shu's subtle move of tapping the food table when he looked up.

"Why is he? Could it be? Alas, no matter what, let's finish writing the text first. Cao Cao suddenly flashed a trace of unusual thoughts, but he shouldered the heavy responsibility of writing the essay in a short time, and he did not have extra time to stop writing to prove his thoughts.

"What Brother Shu said is reasonable, you don't have to spoil your Yaxing for a person who doesn't understand the rhythm of music. As soon as you drink this bottle of water, the Dule Master will arrive immediately. Under the strong persuasion of the Yuan brothers, the princes finally raised their wine bottles and said, "We respect the alliance leader. ”

After drinking the thin wine, Yuan Shao beckoned to the servant and said, "Someone is coming." ”

"Lord, what's the matter?" The servant stepped forward quickly.

"Invite Master Du and his disciples to play music."

"No."

"Slow!" Yuan Shao said, "Remember to ask for good words, and don't make bad words." ”

"Yes, my lord." The servant bowed and gradually withdrew.

With the passage of time, Yuan Shu's strength in slapping the food table became greater and greater. Kong Ling, who was adjacent to Yuan Shu's seat, had even faintly heard a strange sound.

Kong Ling wanted to carefully identify the source of the sound, but Han Fu on the side interrupted: "Alliance leader, although Du Kui's skills are much better than ordinary musicians. But in the end, he is just a little musician from a humble background. You are waiting for such good words, it is inevitable that Du Kui is a little too high-spirited. Could it be that there is something hidden in this? ”

"No, it's not me who lifted him, it's really him who ......" Yuan Shao was just halfway through his speech, but he was interrupted by Yuan Shu's increasingly clear voice. He asked, "What is the sound?" ”

Seeing that the truth was about to come to light, and was interrupted by Yuan Shu in such an inexplicable and rude way, Han Fu couldn't help but think: The Yuan brothers joined forces to conceal the unspeakable secret. But as an elder brother, Yuan Shao knows: Yuan Shu can't help but slap the things in his hand whenever he has something on his mind since he was a child, and as his heart gets heavier and heavier, the sound of him slapping things will get louder and louder.

"Brother Shu, do you have something on your mind?" Yuan Shaodao.

"I, actually, alas......" Yuan Shu was hesitant and couldn't say a whole sentence.

At this time, I saw Cao Cao stop writing and said: "Do you feel unhappy and want to go out for a walk and relax?" ”

"That's right! Right! Right! Yuan Shu hurriedly replied.

Yuan Shao didn't want his younger brother to leave the table, but it was inconvenient to stop him openly, so he had to persuade him in this tactful way: "Brother Shu, this Du Leshi is coming soon, if you go out to relax now and miss Du Le's performance, don't blame your brother for not reminding you at that time." ”

"No blame, no blame." Yuan Shu said as he got up and strode out the door. Before going out, Yuan Shu also made a special salute to Yuan Shao and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

After Yuan Shu left, he only heard Yuan Shao laugh and said: "My younger brother, I don't know why today, just now I took the lead in listening to the music, and now I want to go out to relax." Alas, I don't understand, I don't understand! ”

"If what I expected is right, Brother Ling and Sun Jian will definitely return together after talking about business. As for why Brother Ling went to find Sun Jian......" Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly was silent for a moment and said: "The music rhythm composed by Du Kui must be a supreme masterpiece, such an exquisite music rhythm, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?" Brother Ling's departure this time must be to persuade General Wentai to return, so as not to make General Wentai regret for the rest of his life because of his momentary anger. ”

"Oh? Is that really the case? Yuan Shao wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't want to be interrupted by the servant: "Lord Qi, Du Kui and his party are waiting outside the door." ”

"Come in, please."

When I was young, I saw a tall man standing in his old age, with a thin figure, with a group of young men who were close to the weak crown and holding various musical instruments, walked in slowly.

When Yuan Shu saw the thin middle-aged man, he couldn't help but get up and say, "See Du Fuzi." ”

This tall man who stands tall and thin is Du Kui, who is praised by everyone.

"Hurry up, please." Du Kui helped Yuan Shu up.

"Chef Xie." After Yuan Shu got up, he folded his hands in front of him and stood down on the side.

"It turns out that Du Kui is Yuan Shu's master, no wonder Yuan Shao is so polite to him." Han Fu secretly thought to himself.

"What song does Yuan Gong want to hear?" Du Kui asked.

Yuan Shao felt: Most of the princes from all walks of life are the sons of nobles from famous families, and they must have heard the general court music, and some well-known music, they have even heard it hundreds of times, even if Du Kui and others play no matter how high the skill is, the princes may not be satisfied with this. However, the general folk music is too vulgar to be elegant, so he said: "As long as it is an elegant piece of music that we have never heard of, Du Le can play it at will." ”

"This ......" Just when Du Kui was hesitating, the man holding the vertical fence and Tao Xun said: "Master, "Ruthless Song" may be a try. ”

Speaking of this music, it is enough to climb the temple, but this song does not follow the ancient rhythm of the creative technique, and the novel arrangement method makes the old-fashioned Du Kui reject the "no, no".

"Is there a better way besides, Master?" The man said again.

"Master, what Senior Brother Shao said is reasonable, just follow what Senior Brother said, play "Ruthless Song"!" The disciples persuaded in unison.

The "Senior Brother Shao" in the mouths of the disciples is the man in front of them. This person's surname is Shao, his name is Deng, and he is Du Kui's eldest disciple.

"Master Dule, can you start?" Under Yuan Shao's urging, Du Kui finally put aside his prejudice for the time being, and said: "Okay, all the students listen, play "Ruthless Song". ”

Because Du Kui and others suppressed their voices to an extremely subtle level when they spoke, the princes present did not hear the name of this song.

At the beginning of the piece, the musician holding the gavel first opened the prelude to the "Ruthless Song" by hitting the "Gong" note of the chime. Then, Du Kui erected the vertical fence in his hand and gently followed it with a "horn" sound. At the same time, the musicians who hold the piano gradually echo it in a combination of pan and practical ways. As the music progresses, musical instruments such as flutes, xun, and zhengs are also alternately echoed. The original impetuous hearts of the princes gradually became more and more peaceful as the music continued to deepen.
