Chapter 8 Meeting with Gongsun Zhan
Seeing this, Cao Cao felt even more guilty in his heart, and hurriedly helped Mo Shuyan to the seat, and after helping Mo Shuyan to sit down slowly, he actually bent down, knelt beside Mo Shuyan, stretched out his hands, and wanted to help Mo Shuyan rub his knees.
Although Mo Shuyan's eyes lit up and he wanted to enjoy a massage by Cao Cao's own hands, reason still made Mo Shuyan quickly stop Cao Cao, and said quite firmly: "The lord must not, why bother Shuyan so much." ”
"It's a shame to be tormented. almost missed the good minister, and Mr. Wang forgave Cao for his recklessness. After speaking, Cao Cao let out a long sigh, looking quite lonely.
Reckless? Mo Shuyan couldn't see where Cao Cao's recklessness was, this was Cao Cao, he would rather be responsible for the world than for the world to bear his Cao Cao.
Without waiting for Mo Shuyan to answer again, the armor outside the door entered the hall and knelt down on one knee and said, "Tell the lord, Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Beiping, has arrived and is waiting outside." ”
"Hurry up, please."
"No." When the sergeant received the order, he quickly got up and ran outside.
"Lord, since Gongsun Chan came to visit, Shuyan will retire first." The pain in his knee subsided a lot, and Mo Shuyan hurriedly got up and said.
Seeing that Mo Shuyan was already able to get up, Cao Cao also intended to leave Mo Shuyan, and said to Mo Shuyan in a flat tone: "It's okay, Mr. stay and see Gongsun Chan with me." ”
"No." Mo Shuyan hurriedly agreed, Gongsun Chan came this time, but accompanied by Liu Bei's three brothers, I didn't know how many people Gongsun Chan would bring here to visit Cao Cao.
straightened his clothes, straightened his messy hair slightly, Mo Shuyan sat on his knees on the seat, looked out of the door with a side face, and waited for Gongsun Chan to come.
Cao Cao did not choose to take a seat, but stood in the middle of the hall with his hands in his hands, intending to greet Gongsun Zhan.
Seeing this, Mo Shuyan didn't plan to get up and follow, which seemed a bit contrived, and it was easy to make Cao Cao dissatisfied.
A moment later, with the sound of steady footsteps, a loud voice accompanied a figure stepping into the room.
"General Cao, Gongsun Chan came to pay a visit."
Mo Shuyan took a closer look, and saw that the person who came was dignified, angular and angular, quite heroic, with a loud voice and full of confidence, but also had a few generals.
But at this time, Mo Shuyan's gaze only stayed on Gongsun Chan slightly, and then drifted to the gray-clothed man who was following Gongsun Chan.
The man was seven feet five inches long, his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were like grease, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he had the feeling of a swordsman, his eyes were crystal clear, like a clear spring, although the man followed Gongsun Zhan to worship Cao Cao, but Mo Shuyan could see that this man was not afraid of Cao Cao, and he didn't even have a sense of awe.
Mo Shuyan suddenly had an answer in his heart, this person must be Liu Bei.
"There is a Laotai boat car rushing here, please take a seat." Cao Cao smiled and invited Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei to sit down, and walked towards the chief himself.
After the three of them took their seats, the Cao family brought tea and closed the door casually.
Gongsun Chan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and asked Cao Cao with a smile in his eyebrows: "General Cao, do you know the identity of this person next to me?" ”
After looking at it for a moment, Cao Cao said in a calm tone: "Could it be Liu Bei who broke the Yellow Turban Army?" ”
"The general has won the award, in fact, this credit is made by his subordinate brother Guan Zhang." Raising his hand and shaking it gently, Liu Bei replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he nodded appreciatively, humble, not the first credit, this Liu Bei is also a character, just asking and answering, Liu Bei has already entered Cao Cao's attention, blessings and misfortunes, who knows?
At this time, Mo Shuyan still set his eyes on Liu Bei and never shifted, as if he wanted to engrave Liu Bei's image in his mind.
The focused gaze finally caught Liu Bei's attention, Liu Bei glanced at Mo Shuyan and asked softly, "General Cao, who is this?" ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Chan also cast his gaze, frowning slightly and looking at the messy, unkempt weird man opposite, according to Cao Cao's character, not ordinary people can do this, and Gongsun Chan is not easy to speak directly.
The eyes of the two focused on Mo Shuyan, but Mo Shuyan's face did not change in the slightest, looking back at the two of them, calm, and while watching, he picked up the teacup and drank it by himself.
Suddenly, Gongsun Zhan's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he even had some doubts in his heart whether this person was sent by Cao Cao to dismount himself.
And Liu Bei, although there is no change in expression, his eyes are a little solemn, and there are often only two kinds of people who can't see through, one is a fool who doesn't know the height of the sky, and the other is a smart person who has a deep wisdom in his hand, and Mo Shuyan obviously belongs to the latter in Liu Bei's eyes.
On the chief, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he looked at the performance of the three of them, for fear that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei would misunderstand, so he hurriedly introduced: "Mo Shuyan, Mr. Yunyi, is a scribe who has just arrived in Cao's mansion, with a straightforward personality and casual behavior. ”
Seeing that Cao Cao had already talked about this, Gongsun Zhan naturally didn't want to pursue anything, retracted his gaze, and said casually: "The scribes under General Cao naturally have something extraordinary, and some trivial things are not enough to worry about. ”
As soon as the words changed, Gongsun Zhan's face was quite worried, and he said to Cao Cao again: "I don't know General Cao's ...... about the alliance leader."
"Excuse me." Mo Shuyan didn't wait for Gongsun Chan to finish speaking, and got up directly and said.
Everyone's eyes suddenly gathered, especially Gongsun Zhan's eyes were already full of unkindness, when could a scribe interrupt his own speech?
Without waiting for Gongsun Zan to get angry, Mo Shuyan got up and said to Cao Cao, and said unhurriedly: "Lord, since Lord Taishou wants to discuss important matters with you, then the subordinates and Brother Xuande will step back for the time being, I don't know what the Lord will do?" ”
"Exactly."
"No." Mo Shuyan smiled and withdrew from the hall, Liu Bei naturally didn't want to stay, after all, he was only a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, and he had no right to participate in the dialogue at the level of the lord.
Liu Bei himself is also a smart person, and after a little thought, he knows that this is Mo Shuyan's kindness, and the more he knows, the greater the possibility of dying in this troubled world.
As the two withdrew one after another, only Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan were left in the hall, and the two once again mentioned the candidate for the leader of the alliance.
Gongsun Chan strongly recommended Cao Cao to take the position, and Cao Cao informed Mo Shuyan of his opinion, Gongsun Chan suddenly fell into contemplation, and his prejudice against Mo Shuyan disappeared a lot in an instant.
