The spring of the ninth year of Jian'an came unconsciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ice and snow melted, the water was surging, and the weeping willows on both sides of the river had given birth to tender green branches and buds, revealing vitality. In the wilderness, the earth is full of atmosphere, heralding the arrival of the new year. As the rain approached, the otters began to fish and placed their catches on the shore as a sacrifice to thank God for the gift. Then you will enjoy it slowly.

In the middle of the first month, the sky is full of water.

The arrival of the rain has injected vitality into the earth.

After a night of light rain, Cao Cao walked out of the bedroom in his clothes, full of energy.

The white ditch has been dug up.

The attack on Yecheng is also well prepared.

Next, it will be the beginning of his sweep of Hebei. Last winter, Cao Cao always felt some heart palpitations. Although Liu Bei is not yet in Xinye County, he has already revealed. After this person went to Jingzhou, he seemed to have changed. Especially with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, who is sacred in some unknown places, he has a completely different feeling from earlier.

If in the past, Liu Bei said that he would not launch an attack on Nanyang in order to expand his territory.

And idle, Liu Bei was silent......

But the more quietly he was, the more nervous Cao Cao became. He had a hunch: Liu Bei had been reborn and entered another realm. If Liu Bei was still a little flamboyant and a little sharp in the past, Liu Bei has become extremely introverted now. According to Jia Xu's report, Liu Bei's strength has been expanding. Although Xinye Prefecture is small, it is a fertile place. According to this fertile soil, Liu Bei gathered the people and managed this small county town in an orderly manner. In one winter, the population of Xinye skyrocketed by more than 30,000 people, which shocked Cao Cao.

He has gradually evolved from only focusing on military affairs to a tyrant who takes care of both military and political affairs!

No one can deny Liu Bei's military talent, whether it was in the fledgling period, fighting with the Yellow Turban; Or when you are in Xuzhou, you can see the source left and right. In the first battle of Runan, the great detour of thousands of miles was the pinnacle embodiment of Liu Bei's military talent.

It's a pity that after defecting to Yuan Shao, he can only be a pawn, so it is difficult to display his talents......

Now, this guy is starting to settle down!

From a guy who only knows how to fight, he has become a hero who knows convergence and learns to hide his edge.

But the more this is the case, the more worried Cao Cao becomes!

The battle of Hebei must be ended as soon as possible...... Otherwise, once Liu Bei is full-fledged and captures Jingzhou, there will be a big disaster. At the same time, Cao Cao was a little afraid. If he continued to stay in Xudu, once Liu Bei broke through the Nanyang defense line, he would be able to attack Yingchuan. When the time comes, Xu will face it directly, which is too dangerous. At the beginning, Cao Cao avoided Yuan Shao's edge and decided to be the capital of Xu County; Now, he had to consider Liu Bei's threat...... If you can level Hebei, Yecheng is a good choice......

As soon as this thought arose, he pressed it down.

Forget it, if you think about it so much, it's better to think about it, if you conquer Jizhou.

"Wang Shengyin, kill and accept, set up Wu Geng, return with a basket, and make "Hong Fan".

There are only three out of ten, and the king visits Jizi. Wang Naiyan said: "Woohoo! Basket. But the sky is cloudy, and the people live in harmony with each other......"

From the green plum garden in the distance, there was a sound of reading aloud.

The voice was a little childish, but full of energy. When Cao Cao heard that voice, he couldn't help but feel happy. He could hear that the person who read the book was his precious son Cao Chong, but what he read was "Shangshu-Hongfan".

"Junming, Zhongkang, let's go over and have a look."

Cao Cao suddenly dispelled the idea of dealing with government affairs, and smiled at Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were following behind him.

The two looked at each other and didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously.

The three of them followed the path in the courtyard and went straight to the green plum garden. The morning dew wet Cao Cao's clothes, and he didn't realize it. When I walked into the green plum garden, I saw a small pavilion, where three teenagers were kneeling and reciting articles. Mrs. Huan closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. But in fact, he was listening to the content recited by the three teenagers.

Cao Chong is reciting "Hong Fan".

Xun Mata, I see it as "Huainan Book".

And what Deng Ai recited was a little strange, it seemed to be a military book, but Cao Cao had never heard it.

The sound of footsteps alarmed Mrs. Huan, but not the three children. Mrs. Huan opened her eyes, saw Cao Cao, and hurriedly wanted to get up. saw Cao Cao put his finger to his mouth, signaled her not to disturb the children's endorsement, and then stood outside the pavilion, smiling, listening quietly...... When Mrs. Huan saw this, she gave up and closed her eyes again.

After a few moments, the children finished memorizing the book.

Cao Cao laughed and applauded.

"Father!"

Cao Chong turned his head to look, and when he saw Cao Cao, he immediately ran forward excitedly.

Cao Chong, who is more than eight years old, looks very sturdy and much taller than his peers. Xun Ma and Deng Ai hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then respectfully lowered their hands to the side.

"Cang Shu just read it, but "Hong Fan"?"

"Exactly."

"But I remember, you already studied it last year, why do you repeat it today?"

Cao Cao walked into the pavilion and sat down, beckoning the three children to come forward.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood outside the pavilion and hugged their chests.

Cao Chong scratched his head and said with some shame: "Mr. sent a letter, saying that you should not swallow dates when studying, and asked the child what he said. The child was a little puzzled, so he decided to reread "Hong Fan", as well as "The Biography of the Goods and Colonies" and "Food and Goods" according to what the husband said. After reading it again in the past two days, I felt that it was quite rewarding, so I recited it again and again. ”

"Sir?"

Cao Cao thought that the gentleman Cao Chong said was a teacher of official learning.

Mrs. Huan said softly on the side: "Cangshu only recognizes one gentleman, and that is Youxue." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Is Cangshu still asking for advice from Youxue?"

"It hasn't stopped. Whenever this child encounters a problem, he will think of going to Youxue to explain. However, before Youxue was busy with government affairs, he entrusted Yueying and Xiaozhen to explain on his behalf. Occasionally, he would write to ask Cang Shu about his schoolwork and ask some questions to make Cang Shu think. Sometimes, some books will be highlighted for Cangshu to reread. ”

"Really?"

In the past year, Cao Cao was busy with the war in Hebei, but he neglected to inspect Cao Chong's schoolwork.

He looked down and glanced at the few books on the bookcase, and his brow couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Shangshu", "The Biography of Goods and Colonies", "Food and Goods", ......

He found that the books Cao Chong read seemed to be in the same vein, all of them were books about food. Raising his head, Cao Cao glanced at Cao Chong suspiciously, and after a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Cangshu, why do you care so much about this food?" ”

Cao Chong thought for a while, and said loudly: "Guan Zi said, Cang Liao knows etiquette. Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and the king has taken the people as the sky. It can be seen that food is fundamental. The gentleman said: If you don't know food, you can't rule the world! The child is very emotional...... When the children were in school last year, Mr. once wrote a poem: On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. The child didn't understand it at the time, but after rereading the food, he realized the weight of the food. ”

Cao Cao's eyes showed a look of joy and nodded again and again.

When you fight the world, you may not know the food; But if you rule the world, how can you not know food?

Now, he is fighting the world; In the future, those who rule the world must understand the people's livelihood economy. Cao Chong began to pay attention to food, indicating that he had begun to pay attention to the future. He is only eight years old, and he has such a vision?

However, Cao Cao's heart trembled.

Cao Peng seems to be focusing on cultivating Cao Chong's ability to rule the world, could it be said that he is ......

Once this thought arises, it can never be erased. Although Cao Cao had a smile on his face, he muttered a little in his heart.

"Well, what Cang Shu said makes a lot of sense."

As Cao Cao spoke, he picked up another book, "Xiao Ai, who wrote this?" ”

"Back to Sikong, this is written by my uncle."

"Really?"

Cao Cao opened it, but saw that the title page read "Thirty-six Strategies" in four big characters.

What a breath!

He turned the title page and looked down, but he saw the outline of the thirty-six plans. According to the type of strategy, it is divided into six types: victory strategy, enemy battle strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, merger strategy and defeat strategy. The beginning of this book is the strategy of winning the war, which records six strategies, namely, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, encircling Wei to save Zhao, borrowing a knife to kill, waiting for work, taking advantage of the fire to rob and attacking the west. Underneath each strategy, there will be corresponding notes, as well as annotations for some cases.

For example, after the four words "Hiding from the World and Crossing the Sea", it is written: If you are prepared for a week, you will be lazy, and if you are common, you will not be suspicious. Yin is within the yang, not within the yang. The sun is too cloudy.

Further down there are three examples dedicated to explanation.

And most of these examples of battles come from the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition, there are also the disputes between Chu and Han, as well as several classic battles since the Han Dynasty. It doesn't matter if you look at it, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again.

However, this book only notes the victory strategy, and the other five types are not recorded.

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ai, why don't you have any other battle plans?" ”

"My uncle is busy with business, so he hasn't written it yet. These six strategies were sent by my uncle last year for me to study in my spare time. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but nod lightly after hearing this.

"That means your uncle hasn't finished the book yet?"

"No, right...... Yueying's aunt said that if her uncle finished, she would definitely send someone back. Now that there is no movement, I think it is not finished yet. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, "Youxue, what a genius." ”

Mrs. Huan said softly: "Cangshu has been studying in the official school for the past year, and when I come back, I often say that Mr. is not as interesting as his friends. The concubine felt that since Youxue had this talent, why not let him come back and continue to teach Cangshu? It's better than those fools. Besides, Hexi is bitterly cold, where does he stay......"

"Women's family, what do you know?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but scolded: "Hexi is a key place to control the western coolness, and it is also a barrier to the north of Guanzhong.

At the beginning, Youxue suggested that he should base himself in Hexi, which was also his own choice...... Now, he has just established himself, how can he leave so easily? However, Madame has a point. Cang Shu is smart, and he has friends who have learned earlier, which is not comparable to his peers. In this case, it is better to go to the official school in the future, and let him develop on his own with his temperament......

That's right, Xiao Ai! ”

"Whoa!"

"In the future, if your uncle has a new work, he must copy a volume and give it to me."

Deng Ai hurriedly agreed, and was about to retreat, but heard Cao Cao say: "Wait!" ”

He turned his head and whispered a few words to Mrs. Huan, Mrs. Huan smiled, patted Cao Cao gently, and got up to leave.

After a while, I saw Mrs. Huan bring people back.

In the hands of the slave maid, she also held a tray with several rolls of bamboo slips on it.

"Xiao Ai, take it back and read it slowly."

"This ......"

"This is my book "Commentary on the Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu" (that is, the prototype of Meng De's new book), which has not yet been completed. I look at the thirty-six strategies written by your uncle, which are quite similar to my new book, and since you are good at military studies, take it back and study it slowly. If you have any questions, ask your uncle questions. But be sure to transcribe his reply to me, how about it? ”

When Deng Ai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

Mrs. Huan glanced at Cao Cao, but saw an unfathomable smile on Cao Cao's face, which made her heart move.

Isn't there another meaning to Sikong's move?
