Chapter 152 No ambition

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSun Lang was busy firing ceramics in Cao's mansion, but Cao Cao was only concerned with the increasingly tense war ahead. Lu Bu seized Xuzhou and joined forces with Yuan Shu, which is really a big trouble. I also heard that Yuan Shao in the north attacked Gongsun Zan like a bamboo, and his power grew stronger day by day, while Sun Ce in the south and Ma Teng in Xiliang were also attacking the city and growing day by day. This place of four wars in the Central Plains really made him anxious, and he worked hard for the military day and night.

On this day, he was frowning and pondering the battle strategy in the military tent, and suddenly saw Cheng Yu coming in in a panic, so he asked: "Cheng Zhongde came in a hurry, what happened?" ”

Cheng Yu saw that there was no one left and right, so he stepped forward and said: "The lord has been working all day ahead of the battle, do you still remember the five grandsons sent by the Sun family to have good morning?" ”

Cao Cao thought that Cheng Yu had an urgent military situation to report when he came in, but when he heard this, his brows were relieved, and he smiled: "Oh? The kid surnamed Sun? Didn't I order him to marry the daughter of the Cao Ren family? ”

"The lord doesn't know anything!" Cheng Yu looked anxious, in stark contrast to Cao Cao, and said: "That kid has different ambitions, it seems that he must be killed!" Otherwise, I will regret raising tigers! ”

Cao Cao still said unhurriedly: "Cheng Zhongde speak slowly...... So how did Sun Good Morning have different aspirations? Tell me to hear ......."

Cheng Yu replied: "The lord doesn't know, last time you ordered all the civil and military ministers in the court to congratulate Sun Lang on his marriage, and the big guys went all in one go." There was no joy during the banquet, General Yu Ban and General Xu Chu guessed the question to solve the problem, and General Yu came up with the puzzle of 'Xiaobawang conquers Jiangdong, invincible', and asked General Xu to guess the name of an ancient, but General Xu couldn't guess it......"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "The little overlord's surname is Sun, he fought in Jiangdong and has great martial arts. The answer to this question is obviously 'Sun Wu'! Xu Zhongkang doesn't read poetry and books, he doesn't know history, and he can't even guess such a simple question! ”

"The lord is wise! Merely...... General Xu couldn't guess it, so he started a fire during the banquet. That Sun Lang guessed this question for General Xu for the sake of the round, does the lord know what mystery the kid surnamed Sun guessed? ”

"What's the mystery? Could it be that he guessed wrong? ”

"Exactly! The kid opened his mouth and said: The little overlord Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, which means 'the rise of Eastern Wu', so the answer to this question is 'Wu Qi'! ”

Cao Cao's face was full of doubts and asked, "Wu Qi?" The rise of Soochow? What did he mean by that? ”

Cheng Yu saw that the lord was moved, so he continued to fan the flames: "Why did the lord forget? Our Han Dynasty won the world of the Qin Dynasty, and the first emperor pacified the Six Kingdoms before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, there was a Wu country in the land of Jiangdong, which was a tyrant in Tiannan. The second generation of King Wu sent the Minfeng Wubu run by Wu State, and the national strength was at its peak, and there were two military members Sun Wu to assist, sweeping Chu Yue to the east and threatening Zhao Qi to the north, which can be described as a very prosperous time. Sun Lang said this inadvertently, revealing his wolf ambition to emulate the two kings of Lufu to dominate Jiangdong and rebuild the Jiangdong Wu Kingdom! ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and he also faintly felt that Sun Lang's words seemed to have hidden ambitions. At that time, it was the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, and there was no such thing as Eastern Wu established by Sun Quan in the world, so when it comes to the Wu Kingdom, the first thing that people think of is the Wu State, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Could it be that this kid really has different ambitions?

Cheng Yu couldn't help but persuade bitterly: "Lord! When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! If you don't kill this kid, you have to kill him, otherwise he will be in great trouble in the future! ”

Cao Cao bowed his head and was silent. Think about Cheng Yu's words on the left, and think about Guo Jia's advice on the right. If you keep this Sun Lang, he is both civil and military, and his knowledge is extraordinary, if he is allowed to rebel, maybe it will really be a big disaster; But if you really kill him, and you are worried that Jiangdong Sun Ce will take advantage of the situation in the name of revenge, in case he unites Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to attack him together, he will really be outnumbered.

Cheng Yu wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Cao Cao seemed to suddenly remember something, he smiled indifferently and said: "Cheng Zhongde, don't worry, I have already arranged for Xiahou Ba to visit Sun Lang in Cao Ren's mansion every three days to secretly spy on his every move." Why don't you pass Xiahou Ba to the palace and ask Sun Lang about his recent actions? ”

Cheng Yu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled: "It turns out that the lord has already taken precautions, so good!" ”

Xiahou Ba is a member of Cao Cao's family, waiting by Cao Cao's side day and night, similar to a personal guard, listening to Cao Gong's orders, and hurried into the account. Cao Cao asked: "I ordered you to monitor Sun Lang's movements day and night, what extraordinary actions can you find in the near future?" ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "Back to the lord's words!" His subordinates did go to Caofu three or five times, and Sun Lang went out of the city a few times ago, and all of them were in the secluded mountains and forests near Xudu......"

Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Has he ever been out of the city?" What did you do in the mountains? ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "Also...... Didn't do anything...... I dug up some soil and came back, and I put it in Cao's house. ”

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at each other, unable to understand why Sun Lang had to go out of the city to dig the soil.

Xiahou Ba said again: "Later..... Sun Lang went to the military treasury in the imperial court again......"

Cheng Yu thought he had caught the handle again, stepped forward and grabbed Xiahou Ba's arm, and shouted, "He has been to the Wubei Mansion?" It must be a conspiracy to rebel! Did he collude with the officials of the treasury and secretly steal a lot of weapons and blades back? Say it! ”

Xiahou Ba was naturally timid, and was taken aback by Cheng Yu's radical move, and stammered, "No...... Not...... No...... He borrowed some stones for burning stoves in the treasury, and dragged them back to Cao's mansion in an ox cart. ”

Cao Cao didn't understand at all, and asked suspiciously: "He is digging soil again, and borrowing stones from the furnace, what is he going to do?" ”

Xiahou Ba replied: "The subordinates were also puzzled at the beginning, so they bribed a housekeeper in Cao Ren's mansion with money, and after inquiring from him for a long time, I learned that Sun Lang just wanted to use these clay and stones to burn pottery, and there was an earthen kiln four or five zhang high in the backyard of the mansion, with his sleeves rolled up and his upper body, and a sweat towel on his shoulders, like a coal kiln craftsman, soaked in those mud and mineral sands all day long, and even the young lady of General Cao Ren was a little cold......"

After Cao Cao heard this, his nervous expression immediately eased, raised his head and laughed: "The vertical man has no ambitions, I also said that he is an ambitious person, but he only knows how to be a craftsman, Cheng Zhongde is too worried!" Hahahaha! ”

Cheng Yu's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't figure out why Sun Lang wanted to burn pottery with great fanfare, so he said: "But ..... ......"

Cao Cao waved his hand and interrupted: "Cheng Zhongde Hugh wants to admonish again!" With this kung fu, it is better to study more and study how to deal with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu! He turned his head and said to Xiahou Ba: "Go to the arsenal to pass on my order, and if Sun Lang needs anything, he should prepare it." From now on, there is no need to spy on him, although he has great talents, but he has no ambitions, this kind of person is not to worry, since he is determined to be a potter, let him go! ”

After he said this, he sneered again: "Hehe..... if Sun Wentai has a spirit in the sky, knowing that his son is so unambitious, maybe he will come back to life from the grave, hahaha......" Then he lay down on the desk and studied the formation of troops.

Cheng Yujin failed to slander, but he touched his nose and could only retreat. Xiahouba heard that there was no need to go to Cao Ren's mansion every once in a while to monitor Sun Lang's whereabouts, which could be said to be a thankless job, so he turned around happily. (To be continued.) )
