Chapter 6 Seven Steps to Poetry

(PS: New people and new books, ask for collections, ask for support, let the support come more violently.) )

"The name is in the strong man's name, and he is not virtuous and selfish. Donate your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home! Therefore, Tao Ying is not afraid of death! ”

Hearing Tao Ying's shameless plagiarized famous sentences, Boss Cao really shook his head, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the civil officials of Cao Jun on the left, but saw that the famous scholars and Confucians who had finally been collected from all over the world were surprised, and muttered in a low voice, and even Guo Jia and Xun You, who were above the top, were both surprised and approving, and nodded slightly, obviously admiring Tao Ying's 'literary talent'.

"Cao Gong, please check clearly." Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Boss has not yet made a move to cut people, Tao Ying hurriedly agitated like a spring and said: "Now the Yellow Turban remnant Zhang Min has killed the old lady Cao, Cao Gong raised troops to take revenge, the Xuzhou army and people are in danger, Liu Xuande sent a letter to Cao Gong to persuade peace, the Xuzhou soldiers and civilians are afraid of Ming Gong Tianwei, and dare not do it, although Tao Ying is afraid of death, but Tao Ying, as the second son of Xuzhou Mu, has taken every food and clothing from the people of Xuzhou for many years, but has not repaid the people of Xuzhou. ”

Cao Ying stared at Tao Ying again, this will Tao Ying have an idea, and he is no longer afraid in his heart, and hurriedly shows the performance tricks he has experienced in the system, and looks back at Cao Ying calmly, his eyes are extremely clear, as if he has already put life and death out of the way.

After a long time, Cao Ying finally spoke, raised his sword and sneered: "I can't imagine that Tao Qian'er is selfish and despicable, and he can still give birth to a son like you!" However, your Tao family has a grudge against me to kill my father, no matter how you boast about yourself, you don't want to escape for your life this time! ”

"Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat." Tao Ying shamelessly plagiarized again, and said respectfully: "Tao Ying was cowardly, he did not dare to take the initiative to report his name when he entered the camp, and now Tao Ying's identity has been recognized by Ming Gong, and he wants to kill and chop, and he will let Ming Gong fall, Tao Ying will die without regrets, and only ask Ming Gong for two things." ”

"Your father killed my father, and the hatred of killing my father is not shared, and you still have the face to plead with me?" Cao Ying sneered loudly, but Cao Ying did appreciate Tao Ying's 'literary talent', so he said again: "Okay, for the sake of how talented you are, let's listen to it." ”

"Xie Minggong." Tao Ying hurriedly thanked him, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, Tao Ying bowed to Boss Cao and said: "Ming Gong, Tao Ying deserves death, I dare not beg Ming Gong to spare my life, I only ask Ming Gong to treat the people in Xuzhou City well after Ming Gong breaks through Xuzhou, don't anger others because of the Tao family's crimes, and let the people of Xuzhou have a way to live. ”

"No way!" Cao Ying refused, and said proudly: "I have sworn in front of my father's spirit, vowing to cut down the people of the five counties of Xuzhou and exterminate them to comfort my father's spirit in the sky, I can't agree to your pleading!" ”

"Ming Gong ——!" Tao Ying let out a long cry, tears already flashing in his eyes.

"I said it, no! My mind has never changed! Cao Ying resolutely waved his hand and refused, and shouted: "Say your second request, and after you finish speaking, I will cut off your head and avenge my father!" ”

Tao Ying's expression was sluggish, the muscles on his face twitched, revealing a vivid look of pain and disappointment, and his acting skills were so realistic that even Boss Cao couldn't help but say in his heart: "This son cares about the people, from the bottom of his heart, but it is rare." ”

After another moment, Tao Yingcai's lips trembled and he spoke again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ming Gong, Tao Ying, as a son of man, can't be filial piety under his father's knees, and it's a great crime, so Tao Ying has nothing else to ask for, just ask Ming Gong to escort Tao Ying to Xuzhou City, Rong Tao Ying kowtow to his father under the city to apologize, and then put Tao Ying to death." ”

"Escort you to the city of Xuzhou to be executed?" Boss Cao laughed and said, "You expect Xuzhou to send troops to save you, right?" ”

"If Ming Gong is worried that Tao Ying will take the opportunity to escape, Tao Ying will not dare to force it." Tao Ying finally burst into tears, choked up and said, "Please allow Ming Gong to allow Tao Ying to worship his father and die facing the city of Xuzhou." ”

Boss Cao laughed again, in fact, Boss Cao was not afraid to take the opportunity to escape when he escorted Tao Ying to the city of Xuzhou, because if Tao Ying wanted to escape, he first had to count on the troops in Xuzhou City to respond, and whether it was Liu Bei's army or Tao Qian's army, once he left the protection of the strong city and gave up the location to go out of the city to fight, Boss Cao would be able to smile crookedly.

After thinking for a while, Boss Cao smiled and said: "Okay, I can agree to your request, but I also have one condition, if you can do it, I will escort you to Xuzhou City and allow you to bow to Tao Qian'er and die." If not, I will cut off your limbs, dig out your heart and liver, and sacrifice my father alive." ”

"Please make it clear." Tao Ying agreed, but his heart was as anxious as a fire - why hasn't that news been delivered to Cao Ying yet? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?!

"Then you can listen up." Boss Cao pointed his sword at Tao Ying's nose and said: "I heard you speak into chapters, you must be proficient in poetry and songs, I will give you a chance now, if you can chant a poem in seven steps, I will agree to your request, if you can't ......." ”

Speaking of this, Boss Cao paused, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan listen to the order, if Tao Ying Xiao'er can't make a poem after seven steps, immediately cut off his limbs!" ”

"No!" The four fierce men of Cao Jun agreed neatly, and pulled out their swords together to surround Tao Ying, looking at them with a tiger's eye, and the momentum was even more violent.

"The lord is moved by love again." Guo Jia and Xun You laughed together, Guo Jia also said in his heart: "But this Tao Ying, Wencai is really good, donating his body to go to the country, seeing death as if he was at home, who has not died in ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat, good literary talent, good heroism." It's a pity, it's a pity that he is Tao Qian's son, otherwise, it's worth making a deep friendship. ”

"Seven steps into a poem? Such a coincidence? Tao Ying was first stunned, and then muttered secretly in his heart, "It is worthy of being a father and son, and they are really all the way." Fortunately, Lao Tzu used to memorize a lot of Tang and Song poems in order to exercise his speech, and even your Cao Lao Thief's poems, Lao Tzu has also read a lot, just find a few poems to come out, you should be able to perfunctory the past, and buy a little more time. Damn, why hasn't that news been delivered to Cao Ying yet?! ”

"Can or can't?" Seeing that Tao Ying didn't speak, Boss Cao asked again.

"Back to Ming Gong, Tao should do his best." Tao Ying once again bowed in agreement, raised his leg and took a step and said: "Bai said that the mountains are at the end, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and you want to be poor for thousands of miles, and go to the next level." ”

"So fast?!" Boss Cao was taken aback, and then Boss Cao quickly came to his senses and shouted: "Slow, this poem must have been done by you before, not counted!" It must be up to me to make new poems! ”

"Please make the proposition clear." Tao Ying replied stiffly, but he was very nervous in his heart, not knowing if he remembered those poems and could just match the topic of Boss Cao.

"Just now you mentioned the sea in your poem, and the five counties of Xuzhou are adjacent to the sea in the east, so take the sea as the theme." Boss Cao shouted.

"The sea? Sea! Tao Ying's forehead once again oozed cold sweat, so nervous that he almost couldn't even think of a poem related to the sea, but Cao Boss shouted loudly, forcing Tao Ying to step forward to make a poem, Tao Ying was helpless, so he had to raise his legs and take steps, step by step in the tent, and when he reached the fifth step, a poem related to the sea finally came to Tao Ying's heart, Tao Ying didn't have time to recall who this poem was made for, and after walking seven steps, he opened his mouth and said:

"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea.

The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.

The journey of the moon, if out of it;

The stars are splendid, if out of it.

Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. ”

Boss Cao's mouth opened wide, Xun You's eyes widened, Guo Jia was so shocked that even the cough disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help but stand up and applaud: "Wonderful!" Good poetry! Good words! ”

"Mr. Xie compliments." Tao Ying nodded to Guo Jia and thanked him, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "Damn, who wrote this poem?" Why can't I remember it at all? ”

"The trip of the moon, if out of it; The stars are splendid, if out of it. Boss Cao silently retold the wonderful sentences in Tao Ying's poems, and there was an indescribable intimate feeling, as if every word had hit his heart, which was extremely cordial and familiar.

"It's a pity, why is this son Tao Qian's son?" Boss Cao was also sighing secretly, and shouted: "Seven steps into a poem, I still think it's too late!" Can you compose a poem in response? ”

"Do your best, please make the proposition clear." Tao Ying agreed again, but he was so nervous that he almost collapsed - why hasn't that news been sent to Cao Ying?!

Cao Boss waved his hand to the four generals of the Cao army who surrounded Tao Ying, and Dian Wei and Cao Hong immediately pointed at Tao Ying with their swords, ready to cut off Tao Ying's limbs at any time. Boss Cao shouted again: "Take today's world as the theme, make it!" ”

"Today's world? The troubled times of the Three Kingdoms! Tao Ying is also blessed to the soul, blurted out:

"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers.

In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang.

The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly.

Snobbery makes people fight, and heirs fight each other.

The armor is full of lice, and all surnames die.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. ”

With a choking sound, the sword in Boss Cao's hand fell to the ground, a pair of eagle eyes, full of shocked looks, and the civil and military officials on both sides were also dumbfounded, I couldn't believe that there could be such a talent in the world, and he could make such an appropriate masterpiece in the blink of an eye. Shocked, for a while, Cao Jun's tent was silent, almost forgetting that Tao Ying was Cao Boss's father-killing enemy.

"Damn, I'm glad I remember this poem." Tao Ying quietly wiped a cold sweat again, "However, who wrote this poem?" Liu Mengde or Sun Mengde? Why am I so nervous that I can't remember it at all? ”

"Report ——!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice broke the atmosphere in the big tent, and a Cao army herald rushed into the tent, knelt down on one knee to Boss Cao, and clenched his fists and said: "Lord Qi, Mr. Xun Yu and Mr. Cheng Yu sent messengers from Dong'e, saying that there are 100,000 urgent important things to present to the lord!" ”

"100,000 urgent?!" Boss Cao was shocked in his heart, knowing that with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's steadiness, if it wasn't for some major event, he would definitely not send such a messenger at the critical moment when he was about to break through Xuzhou, and at that moment Boss Cao immediately shouted: "Xuan! Hold Tao Ying to the back account, so that he can take care of it! ”

"No!"

Everyone in the tent agreed neatly, and each did according to the order, Tao Ying bowed to Boss Cao to thank him, and followed Cao Bing out of the account, but when he walked out of the tent, a trace of unconcealable laughter quietly surfaced on the corner of Deputy Director Tao's mouth, and a paragraph quickly flashed in Tao Ying's mind - Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou and captured Puyang, and Boss Cao was forced to give up Xuzhou, which was about to arrive, temporarily make peace with Tao Qian and Liu Bei, and lead the army back to fight Lu Bu!

After laughing, Tao Ying's heart gradually rose to his throat, if his identity was not exposed, then he could be said to be basically safe, but now that his identity has been exposed, whether he can return to Xuzhou City alive depends on Boss Cao's mood - to be precise, it depends on whether Boss Cao really loves his life?

"How did my identity come about?" In order to overcome the tension and fear in his heart, Tao Ying tried to shift his attention to another important issue, "In the past, Tao Ying lived in a simple house, rarely showed his face, and was known by Cao Jun Xiaozuo, and his surname may be very small, and I did not meet Cao Jun Xizuo who recognized me in person when I entered the camp. Judging from the voice, Xuzhou City did not send troops to rescue me, did not indirectly expose my identity, and Boss Cao did not immediately send someone to arrest me at the beginning, how did Boss Cao know my true identity? ”
