Chapter Eighty-Five: The Tongue War
When I went to Xudu, I let people know that Cao Cao was reading a book in a robe on the bed, and under the bed, there was a brazier.
"Prime Minister, there are people outside the city asking to see you."
"Who?"
"The surname is Xia Minger, and he is said to be an old friend of the prime minister."
Cao Cao put down the book, turned his head, and thought secretly: This person travels all over the world, selling me inflatable dolls and Sun Quan's fishing rods before, making a lot of money, what are you doing today, such talents, I want to keep him here for my use, why worry about the injustice of the world.
"Please!"
Cao Cao immediately called someone to inform Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others, especially Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, they heard that I was better than Zhuge Liang, although Zhuge Liang had just come out of the mountain at this time, but several battles commanded by Zhuge Liang also made Cao Jun suffer, they had long wanted to meet me, to see how capable I was.
After taking a seat, the waiter immediately prepared wine and food, the weather is not too warm, the ancients used wine to warm up is their consistent practice, anyway, no one checks the drunk driver, drink a few glasses to warm up, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood.
Cao Cao raised his glass, looked at the crowd and said, "Master Xia, don't come unharmed." β
"Traveling all over the world, still at ease." I also raised the cup, the cup used today is different from the past, all are jade cups, carved with dragons and phoenixes, quite exquisite, if you see this utensil, you will definitely love it, but for the guests, you can't steal a cup.
Cao Cao took a sip of the wine and let out a hearty laugh, "This is a folk master, the so-called heroes from ancient times are young people, and the generals should not underestimate Xia Gongzi, although he is young, he is resourceful, and he knows the world and geography, knows the art of war, is quite able to divination, and is bold." When the yellow scarf was in turmoil, Zhang Jiao lost all his bitterness when he heard the wind of Xia Gongzi, which shows that Xia Gongzi is an extraordinary person, and everyone can drink and have fun with him. β
The generals raised their glasses and toasted me, but most of them were not convinced, squinting at me.
Xun Yu shook his long sleeves and said: "I have heard that the prestige of the prince is shocked in all directions, but I have never heard of the prince in which war to exert his strength, to use his strategy, no merit, no virtue, the prime minister just said that the foot is resourceful, dare to ask the son, how to be resourceful?" β
This old B looked down on me, I put down the wine glass, hugged my fist at Xun Yu and said: "It turned out to be Gongda, I heard that Gongda was the prime minister's "mastermind", good at flexible and changeable tactics and military strategies to defeat the enemy, and set up a total of 12 strategies before his death, which can be described as a strategist. β
I took a piece of food and put it in my mouth and continued: "Gongda served as a waiter of the Yellow Gate during He Jin's reign, and was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and then abandoned his official position and went home. After the prime minister welcomed the Son of Heaven into Xudu, Gongda became Cao Cao's military advisor. Later, when he conquered LΓΌ Bu, Gongda dissuaded the prime minister from withdrawing his troops, and offered a strange plan to flood Picheng and capture LΓΌ Bu alive. In the battle of Guandu, Gongda offered another plan to attack the east and west, killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He also planned strange soldiers, sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the same time urged the prime minister to accept Xu You, draw a nest, and make great contributions. During the pacification of Hebei, Gongda Li overrode public opinion, advocated the elimination of Yuan Shao's sons, and was named the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion by the imperial court. I heard that Gongda acted carefully and low-key, and was full of scheming, but when I saw it today, Gongda was not very low-key. β

I heard that Gongda acted carefully and low-key, and was full of scheming, but when I saw it today, Gongda was not very low-key. β
Xun Yu was a little displeased, and I still need to dig up his old bottom again: "Gongda was born in a scholar family, and his father Xun Yi was engaged in the state. Lost his parents at a young age. Grandfather Xun Tan is Guangling Taishou. When Gongda was thirteen years old, his grandfather Xun Tan died, and in the past, Xun Tan's official named Zhang Quan took the initiative to ask Xun Tan to guard the tomb. Gongda said to his uncle Xun Qu: "The look on this person's face is abnormal, I guess he has done something treacherous!" Xun Qu took the opportunity to interrogate while sleeping at night, and sure enough, Zhang Quan was on the run because he had killed someone, and wanted to hide himself by guarding the tomb. From then on, people treated you differently. In the sixth year of Zhongping, the general He Jin was in power, and more than 20 people including famous people in the sea were recruited. After Gongda arrived in Luoyang, he worshiped the Huangmen squire...... I heard that there was a courtesan in the palace......"
Xun Yu was afraid that I would tell all his history, I just want to say something nice about him now, since I know a lot of things about him, there must be some scandals, life in the world, there is always a handle, when he was working under He Jin, he once secretly plundered a palace girl and took it for himself.
This guy was afraid that I would reveal his story, so he quickly changed the topic, "Xia Gongzi, please." β
Cheng Yu immediately came in: "Today, the warlords are divided, and I am the prime minister to assist the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and we are all doing our best, making our efforts, making contributions, the battle of the White Horse, the battle of Guandu, and the battle of Guandu are all our suggestions, which make our reputation far away, but the son calls himself Zhuge Liang and sighs that he is not as good as ......" Cheng Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's in vain." β
I looked up to the sky and laughed: "From ancient times to the present, there are not a few people who have become famous in a war and a strategy to become famous. But Yingchuan Yang Zhai Shuijing Mr. Sima Hui never offered a strategy, nor did he kill a person and destroy a car, but Wolong Zhuge and Feng Xiao Pang Tong all sighed to themselves. Pang Tong heard that Sima Decao lived in Yingchuan, so he walked two thousand miles to visit him. When I arrived in Yingchuan, I met Sima Hui picking mulberry leaves, Pang Tong said to Sima Hui in the car: I heard that the eldest husband should have a very prominent position in the world, how can he suppress the flow of the huge water flow and do the work of women who control silk! Sima Hui said: You get off the bus for the time being. You only know that you can walk the trail quickly, but you don't have to worry about getting lost. In the past, Bocheng would rather plow than envy the glory of the princes; Hara Ken would rather live in a modest house with mulberry wood as a doorway than an official residence. How can it be considered unusual to live in a luxurious house, go out to ride a fat horse, and have a dozen maids waiting for you on the left and right? This is the reason why the hermit Xu You and the nest father sighed, and it is also the reason why the honest people Bo Yi and Shu Qi sighed. Even if he has the title of LΓΌ Buwei, the wealth of Qi Jinggong is not worthy of respect. β
"When you wear a good quality inner garment, why should you show it everywhere to tell the world?" I ended up with a rhetorical question.
Several people looked at each other, they all knew Sima Hui's reputation, and the allusions to Sima Hui could be drawn, and what else was there to say, several people were there to talk to each other.
At this time, there was a burst of applause outside the door, "Xia Gongzi is so idle, he doesn't travel in the mountains, he runs to Xu Du to tease the strategist." β
This is also Yu Yuanzhi, who didn't see anyone and heard his voice first, he clapped his hands and walked in, "Mr. Shuijing is innocent." β
I stood up and said, "Yuan Zhi made fun of it." β
Xu Shu came over and covered my hand and said, "The public has a strategy, don't go to the world, and joke here." β
I looked at Cheng Yu and the others, and the people in the hall were obviously not very dissatisfied with Xu Shu's words, and his meaning was obvious, that is, he didn't take these people seriously.
"Yuan sits upright, returns from wandering, and listens to the world to fill up with hear." I helped Xu Shu pour a full bottle of wine and said.
Due to the arrival of Xu Shu, the atmosphere on the scene eased a little, and Cao Cao, a traitorous male, laughed out loud for a while, and laughed out loud for a while, and people began to drink and talk again, besides, these people are not strategists or generals after all, not narrow-minded people, they just think that I am vain and disobey me.
During the banquet, I gave a few solar rechargeable table lamps to everyone, one for each person, and then they were completely convinced, where can they understand high-tech things.
I said, "This thing absorbs sunlight during the day, and at night it does not shine the light it absorbs, but can read and write in the light." β
Everyone was shocked, thinking that this was some kind of artifact, which could actually absorb the sun's rays, "There is no doubt that Xia Gongzi and the immortals can create such a rare thing." β
After dinner, Cao Cao arranged a place for me to live, and sent two beauties to serve me, for a moment, I also wanted to fall, but after thinking about whether these two women had been pampered by Cao Cao, I had no idea.
The two maids helped me fill the barrel with hot water and stood next to me.
I said, "You two go out." β
"The son can take a bath, and the maidservant serves." A maidservant said.
I'll go, how can this ancient woman be more open than modern people, isn't it ashamed to watch men take a bath: "Go out, master, I am a child, how can I let you watch casually." β
The two maidservants laughed: "Don't worry, son, I'll just turn around." β
"Okay, okay, you two turn around." The two maidservants turned around, I took off my clothes as quickly as I could and got into the barrel, cool, this ancient people had a unique way to take a bath, a special thing was added to the hot water, and it was like doing healing.
After a while, the two maidservants turned around.
"You ...... What are you going to do? β
The two maidservants took the small wooden bucket and said, "Help the son add water." β
Without waiting for me to speak, the maidservant went out with a bucket and got two buckets of hot water and poured them in.
"You two can rest, you don't have to be here."
The maidservant said, "The prime minister has said that we must serve a good son today, otherwise we will be blamed." β
"Alas, if I don't say it, if you don't say it, how will Prime Minister Cao know."
"Don't dare."
Nima, were these two brainwashed by Cao Cao, why are they the same as those who engage in pyramid schemes, one is dead-headed. Forget it, if I have to talk to them, then I can brainwash the MLM boss.
After taking a bath, I couldn't sleep in bed, two maids stood straight on the ground, I had never slept like this, two people stood on the ground, how could I sleep.
"You two go to sleep, you don't have to stand guard." I say.
The maidservant said: "Childe can sleep with confidence, I will wait here to serve Childe." β
MD, Lao Tzu is not seventy or eighty years old, and he still uses people to serve.
I got up and walked outside, the courtyard was quite large, there were all kinds of pavilions in the courtyard, I slipped all the way to the other side of the courtyard, and suddenly I heard a sound coming from a room, I stood at the rockery and held my breath to listen.
