To tell the truth, since Gao Ye, who received the Xuchang documents, was ready to go out of the city to meet him after knowing that Cao Cao was going to Yingyin today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Cao Cao's current identity is the Taishou of Dongjun, and his position is equivalent to his own, he came to Yingchuan to congratulate himself, and he naturally wanted to come to greet him in person. Second, Cao Cao's relationship with himself has always been close, and he went out of the city to greet him, which shows the importance he attaches to the relationship between the two. Thirdly, it was also because he was ready to take refuge in Cao Cao, and he used this way to tell Cao Cao that he was ready to take refuge in him.

Cao Cao was also a little excited when he saw Gao Ye personally greet him at the city gate. As a human spirit, how can Cao Cao not know what Gao Ye's actions mean? Xun Yu is right, Gao Ye has long been willing to take refuge in himself, and it seems that it should not be difficult to convince Gao Ye.

When he arrived at the city gate, Cao Cao also hurriedly dismounted, seeing Gao Ye waiting for him at the city gate, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Even Gao Ye just looked at him with a smile, and the two looked at each other, as if they had finished a thousand words. Of course, this feeling seems a little weird to Gao Ye, although he and Cao Cao have a good relationship, they don't seem to be good enough to this extent. If there is such a feeling between himself and Cai Yan, it is normal, but between him and Cao Cao, it makes Gao Ye feel a little weird no matter what. After all, he is not a person who likes Longyang, and he has so many feelings when he looks at Cao Cao.

Gao Ye, who was slightly embarrassed, hurriedly spoke to ease the silence at this time. did not salute Cao Cao, but patted Cao Cao's shoulder and laughed: "Meng De, you let me wait, I have been waiting for you for two hours at this east gate!" ”

"Haha, don't blame Mingxi, it's not that I saw some wonderful things on the road, so I delayed it a little." Cao Cao also laughed, and then told Gao Ye about the farmer cutting grass on the road. Not only that, Cao Cao also asked hard whether this thing was invented by Gao Ye.

"Not really. Among my retainers, there was a peasant master, and I just came up with an idea, and the specific things were still made by others. I can't rob people of beauty. ”

"Since he is Mingxi's retainer, what is the difference between that and Mingxi's invention?" Cao Cao also smiled, "Mingxi is really extraordinary, even the retainers are so powerful!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense here, let's follow me into the city first, and when we get to the Taishou Mansion, you and I have to have a good drink." You became the Taishou of Dongjun, and I haven't congratulated you yet. ”

"What do I have to congratulate, but Mingxi you finally got married, this is a great joy!"

Gao Ye and Cao Cao talked nonsense without nutrition all the way, all the way to the Taishou Mansion. As for the five hundred elite cavalry brought by Cao Cao, they had already been arranged for Gao Ye to be stationed in the military camp temporarily. To tell the truth, Cao Cao took these five hundred fine horses, originally to guard against the yellow scarves or bandits on the road, but fortunately, this road is very safe, especially in Yingchuan, not to mention the bandits, not even a thief has been seen, and now when he sees Gao Ye, he is teased by him and says that it is "the official is bold but small", which made Cao Cao smile bitterly.

"Don't talk about this, Mingxi, you should still tell me where you got such a capable retainer. Since Emperor Wu deposed the hundred families, the people of the hundred families have long been missing, I really didn't expect to see them in your mansion. Cao Cao quickly changed the subject.

"This is thanks to the ancestors of my Zongheng family." Gao Ye shook his head and smiled, "Among my retainers, there are not only the masters of the peasant family, but also the heirs of the public losers, the Mo family, the famous family, and even the Yin and Yang family. At that time, the hundred families were weak, and one of my ancestors took in many descendants of the hundred families, and they also became the retainers of my Zongheng family. Now that I have inherited the Zongheng family, they are naturally my retainers. In fact, if this is not the case, how can I learn from the hundred schools of thought? ”

"I see." Cao Cao nodded and said, "If it weren't for that, it would be difficult for Mingxi to have a collection of 10,000 books." ”

As Cao Cao sat down, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. To be honest, Cao Cao was extremely surprised when he heard Xun Yu say that Gao Ye's collection of books was all paper. In the earliest days, he also heard Gao Ye say that his family's collection of books was several thousand. It's just that at that time he didn't realize that these books were written on paper and bound into volumes, after all, paper was still rare in this era. If there are only a few thousand volumes of books, it is not a big deal, people like Cai Yong can collect thousands of books, and it is not surprising that there are thousands of books in the night.

But it wasn't until Xun Yu told him the truth that he knew what the number of thousands of books Gao Ye had. Because the Analects, which is full of twenty scrolls of bamboo slips, can only be done on a few dozen sheets of paper in Gao Ye. In this way, if Gao Ye's collection of books is converted into bamboo slips, I am afraid that there are as many as 100,000 volumes? Even the Dongguan collection is only this number.

Especially after hearing that even the Dongguan collection was moved back by Gao Ye, Cao Cao's heart was even more calm, because Luoyang was burned by fire, and countless people felt that the Dongguan collection had been destroyed, after all, how could a puppet like Dong Zhuo know the importance of the Dongguan collection. Now the Dongguan collection has been preserved under the protection of Gao Ye, which not only won a great reputation for Gao Ye in Shilin, but also made the collection of books in Gao Ye's hands more abundant. After all, in the Eastern View, there are countless books that are unique and unique.

Although Cao Cao's thoughts at this time were complicated, he still had a cheerful and friendly conversation with Gao Ye. Especially the chair he is sitting on now, as Tu Cao Ren said, is indeed much more comfortable than kneeling. When he heard that the industry of tables and chairs was handed over to Hedongwei's family by Gao Ye, even Cao Cao was taken aback. First, he didn't expect the Wei family to really come to congratulate Gao Ye, and secondly, he didn't expect Gao Ye to repay the favor and return to the Wei family so much. Because Cao Cao, who has been troubled by money and food for a long time, is very keenly aware of how profitable this business is. Although he is very envious of the Wei family, since Gao Ye has already decided, it is not easy for him to rob it. However, Gao Ye has always been very good at making money, and when he takes refuge in himself, he will let him find a way.

There was no one else at this dinner, and there were only two of them left in Gao Ye except for asking Cai Yan to come out to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew Gao Ye very well, and knew that he never liked to be served by someone when he ate, so he was not surprised by this, except for the people who came and went to serve the food, there were really only two of them in the lobby. And the two of them did not kneel in the banquet to eat, but sat on a chair and used the table of eight immortals. Such a novel way of eating also made Cao Cao feel very interesting.

However, when later generations of Chinese eat, they often talk about some very important things, or those very important things, often have to be discussed at the dinner table. Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago, this was true. Therefore, Cao Cao did not hide it, and directly expressed his intention. Gao Ye was already ready to take refuge in Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao finally picked out the topic clearly, and saved himself from hinting again. just responded to Cao Cao's invitation with the sentence "I have been waiting for you for a long time, after drinking this wine, you are the lord".

Gao Ye agreed so happily, but it confused Cao Cao, according to his imagination, Gao Ye should always bargain with him, and make enough of his own interests to be effective. Why did he say yes as soon as he opened his mouth? Happiness came so suddenly, so suddenly that even he couldn't believe it. Gao Ye saw Cao Cao's bewildered look, and knew what Cao Cao was thinking now, and then smiled: "Meng De, your current ambition, except for Cao Hou, the general of the Han Zhengxi, is to calm the troubled times." ”

"Those who know me, Mingxi also." Cao Cao was taken aback by Gao Ye's sudden question, and immediately responded.

"But does Meng De know what my ambition is?"

"I want to hear about it."

"I have two ambitions, one for literature and one for martial arts. Martial artists, should be Huo Yao, Ban Dingyuan, Feng Wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran, this party is done by the big husband! As soon as Gao Ye's words came out, even Cao Cao couldn't stop admiring, Gao Ye's ambition was so similar to his own! As for the writers, I would like to carry forward the Yingchuan Academy and become my Chinese eternal cultural base! So, do you know why I said yes so happily? ”

Seeing that Cao Cao still looked confused, Gao Ye explained: "My two wishes, especially the second one, if they don't govern the world, how can they be realized?" When I waited for the coalition forces to discuss Dong, I found that Yuan was originally scheming and indecisive, ambitious and wise; Yuan Highway is anxious for quick success, and the bones in the mound are dry; Sun Wentai is now dead in battle, Liu Xuande has no place to live, and Liu Jingsheng is just a dog ear who guards his home; The rest of the people are idle people, and they rely on how they can calm the troubled times! In my opinion, only you, Cao Mengde, have the talent to help the world. Xu Zijiang said that you are a 'traitor in troubled times', which is by no means untargeted. ”

"Then I want to thank Mingxi for his compliment." After Cao Cao listened to Gao Ye's evaluation of the other princes, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and when he tasted it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and his feelings for these people were the same as Gao Ye's. It is natural to agree, because what Gao Ye said is the evaluation of these princes when Cao Cao and Liu Bei Qingmei were cooking wine and talking about heroes. It's just that now there is less "heroes in the world, only Cao and Jun Er".

"To be honest, I also thought about standing on my own, after all, I have Fengxiao under my subordinates, and Wu has Zilong, even if I want to fight for the world, it is not impossible." Gao Ye took a bite of food, took another sip of wine and said, Cao Cao on the other side also nodded, and then asked why Gao Ye gave up this idea.

"Alas, when I first had this idea, it was after the pursuit of us was blocked that day, and you and I borrowed wine from the Tiger Prison to kill our sorrows. At that time, as soon as I told Feng Xiao, I was ridiculed by Feng Xiao. I was convinced by all these reasons. Later, Wen Ruo said the same thing to me, which made me firm in my heart to take refuge. Anyway, Wen Ruo is okay with you, he is a powerful character, Meng De should not treat him badly. ”

"I also know Wen Ruo's ability, how can he treat him badly. However, Wen Ruo gave me a plan to chase the Central Plains, and now that Mingxi is willing to help me, I don't know what strategy I can have to help me calm the world? ”
