"Whew!" , Cao Cao put his hands on his knees, gasping fiercely for a long time, and then gave a deep salute: "Boy Cao Cao!" Meet the two veteran generals! It is really my blessing that the two generals can come to help me Cao Mengde! ”

How could Huang Zhong and Cai Yang ever get such courtesy? Immediately bowed to the ground, and said in unison: "Huang Zhong in Xia Nanyang!" (Caiyang, Hebei!) Meet Cao Gong! From now on, before and after the saddle, swear to serve! ”

"Good, good!" , Cao Cao excitedly picked up the two veterans, each holding one hand and walking forward, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like two majestic old men who were eight feet tall, holding a lewd man who was only six feet nine hostage... Cao Cao gave Li Yu a grateful look when he turned around, and after learning the news from Cao Ang, Cao Cao knew that the person Li Yu asked him to come to greet in person must not be a small character; Because he has always believed in Li Yu's vision, especially his ethereal ability to recognize people, he came in person, and he was tired of breathlessness; Although they are just two gray-haired old men, it can be seen that they are majestic, Cao Cao is still very happy, who knows if these two will become Lian Po in the current era?

Frankly speaking, the arrival of these two people, Cao Cao completely missed it, if it weren't for his talent search order several years earlier, if it weren't for Yuan Shao in Hebei and Liu Biao in Jingxiang, who couldn't look down on these two "old and frail" old generals, could it be his turn?

By now, Cao Cao no longer needs to prove to others that his talent is great, because he has proved his talent in everything before, and he is no less than anyone in the world! He just needs to show people his bearing, his heart, and his grace; A pot of shoddy rice wine, a few plates of fried grasshoppers, a few small plates of wild vegetables and cold salad, this is the welcome dinner, Cao Cao told the two old generals very frankly about the current situation, and clearly stated his difficulties, this kind of confession is already remarkable; This strange dinner party passed in laughter, everyone was happy, everyone was looking forward to their future tomorrow; Huang Zhong and Cai Yang were both appointed captains, commanding a team of 3,000 people, at this time, the gold content of the captains was still very high, unlike the later generals who grabbed a lot of them, but the captains became low-level officers, this appointment is enough to express Cao Cao's importance to these two; …… Dividing line

With these two big shots as the opening, the recruitment office of Xuchang City suddenly became a lot more lively, but the talents found were unsatisfactory, after a few days, Li Yu only thought that a person named Zaoyi could become the pillar of Yanzhou, and the rest of the people were at most the heads of a county; This jujube was born poor, is a farmer, but he likes to ponder agricultural production, farming, farm tools and other considerable research, when he first came, he was still a little intimidated, and he was not very willing to speak, when Li Yu talked to him about agricultural production, he suddenly danced, said very insightful, very professional; Li Yu recommended him to Cao Cao at that time, and Cao Cao appointed him as the adjutant of Mao Jue and Mao Xiaoxian, and together they restored the devastated Yanzhou agriculture; Combined with the furrow planting method advocated by Li Yu, this agricultural expert proposed to use the method of canal irrigation to replenish the seedlings in the field, although it is impossible to reach the saturation state of the harvest, at least it can be increased a lot, a very powerful old expert! It's much stronger than Li Yu's second knife!

On this day, Li Yu was bored to explain some common sense things to a few small characters around him, and a tall and mighty figure covered the sunlight in front of them; But seeing that this person looks like a phoenix with frowning eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, and is extremely powerful, with a height of more than eight feet, he is standing there steadily, and he also holds a big knife in his hand, if it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have a two-foot-long beard, Li Yu almost shouted: I'll wipe it! Second brother! Didn't you travel back in time to when you were younger?

Li Yu didn't call, but Xiahoudun did: "Guan Yu??? ”

The person who came was immediately furious: "Lao Tzu is Wei Yan!" Wei Yan! From Changsha! It's not Guan Yu! How many times has this been? ”

"Uh...", the powerful resentment attack suddenly made Xiahou stunned, it seems that Wei Yan has suffered a lot of misunderstandings before!

As soon as Li Yu heard Wei Yan's name, he immediately got up: "Under Li Yu and Li Huaide!" Met this general! Dare to ask, but you are here to serve Cao Gong? ”

After calming down his grievances, Wei Yan suddenly bowed down and saluted: "I dare not be ashamed of the general's name!" Mr. Jiuwen's name! I'm here to study! ”

“？？？” , Li Yu looked at Xiahoudun in surprise, and asked him for an answer, is this the situation of Shenma? Am I that famous?

Doubts are doubts, Li Yu still hurriedly helped Wei Yan up: "Studying? You're right? ”

Wei Yan replied firmly, "Absolutely! It's to learn from Mr. That's interesting! Li Yu touched his nose and said, "You sit down first!" Let's talk slowly! Be clear! It's hard to say in this cloud, isn't it? ”

"A certain family is thirty-three in twenty this year, and when I was young, I was my only relative... My master, learned a martial arts, and then the master died, he asked me to serve the country, but it's a pity! The world is in turmoil, and I have no way to serve the country! Later, I found out that I can only be a fierce general in my martial arts, but I will never be able to become a real enemy! ”

"I joined the army under Liu Biao's account before and became a military commander, because of this idea, I resigned from the military after the princes asked for Dong Dong and continued to wander, but those so-called famous teachers in the world are all over-eyed figures, and they don't look down on me! In the battle of Fengqiu City, I was in Fengqiu City at that time, and I witnessed the demeanor of Mr. ”

"Whether it is the grasp of the fighter, the stimulation of morale, etc., Mr. can easily win a war that has a little chance of winning in the eyes of others, Mr. can be described as the art of war in the world, so I think... Worship Mr. as a teacher! Ask Mr. to teach me how to become the enemy of all people! ”

Wei Yan's self-brief is full of ambition and ambition, and at the same time, there is also the dissatisfaction of being despised by others, and the sadness of not being able to study, etc., he once again bowed down in front of Li Yu, praying that he could learn the art of war and become a method of becoming an enemy of ten thousand people, this is a person with big dreams! Terrific!

Xiahoudun secretly admired Wei Yan's ambition, and when Li Yu reminded him countless times, he changed his style, from a brave general to the direction of the main general, that is, the "enemy of ten thousand", and Wei Yan, who was nearly ten years younger than him, had already figured it out by himself at this time, and set foot in the north and south of the river just to find a famous teacher and complete his studies... Thinking of this, Xiahoudun couldn't help but persuade him, of course, a little joking: "Sir? You said... Now you are driving one sheep, and two sheep are also herding... Why don't you just promise this little brother! Let him be my lieutenant by my side, and we will listen to your teachings together... What do you think? ”

When Li Yu heard it, he was happy! "Yuan Rang! Do you also intercede for others? It's not easy! Ha ha! All right! But forget about the apprenticeship, you can ask me questions with Yuan Rang together, I will never hide my secrets, and I will give you a copy of "The Art of War", you can take a look! This thing is really only understandable and unspeakable, so you have to use it flexibly! ”

Wei Yan was at a loss, did he agree? Still didn't agree?

Xiahoudun grinned and leaned behind him, kicked him in the crook of the leg, made him kneel, and grinned: "Don't you want to see Mr. yet?" Sir, this is a promise! In fact, we are all students of Mr., but Mr. may dislike us for being old, and he is afraid of calling him a teacher and calling him old! He wouldn't! Hahaha! ”

Wei Yan suddenly realized that he respectfully kowtowed, Li Yu did not stop him, because he couldn't, if he interrupted, it would be disrespectful to Wei Yan and would make him dissatisfied; There's no way, the ancients' ideological plot of respecting teachers is not ordinarily serious!

Xiahoudun turned to a normal state and liked Wei Yan, a guy who was much younger than him, and personally took him to meet Cao Cao, and wanted to come to him as a deputy general, and also enthusiastically told him about the internal situation in Yanzhou, as well as the personnel arrangement, the most important thing is that they are about to start the grand strategy; But all this failed to attract Wei Yan's thoughts, Wei Yan wanted to speak and stopped, and was fully seen by Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "You are still worried that Mr. Huaide will not accept you as a student, you may not be able to learn the real skills, right?" ”

Wei Yan was embarrassed and wanted to justify, but in the end he only held back two words: "Hmm!" Right! ”

"Hahaha!" , Xiahoudun seemed to laugh rampantly, and happily slapped the back of Wei Yan's head: "Silly boy! Mr. Wilder is absolutely human! Didn't I say that before! There is no need to worry about this, even Mr. Wilder's personal guards can listen to Mr. Wilder's lectures, let alone you! Mr. Wilder admires you, and you have to work hard! ”

"Good job! Mr. has always been very accurate in looking at people! You kid is going to do a good job in the future! Let's go! How about leading you to see my military horses again! ”

Xiahoudun's explanation undoubtedly relieved Wei Yan a lot, when Li Yu's hand-copied "Thirty-six Strategies" was sent to him, looking at Li Yu's red eyes because he had stayed up late for days, Wei Yan's heart was full of respect and gratitude at this moment, and all his worries were swept away; Xiahoudun smacked his tongue with "Zizi", and was envious of Wei Yan who was holding a bamboo slip in his arms: "Look! I'll just say it! Sir thinks highly of you! You must know this art of war, the person who has obtained him is only Cao Zi and one person, you are the second, even our eldest brother begged Mr. to write a copy, but he was pushed by Mr. How much more so it's me! From the point of view of calligraphy alone, this side of the bamboo slip is priceless, not to mention the famous art of war summed up by the gentleman! Cherish it! ”

I hope Li Yu won't get lost in plagiarism again! Sweat! This kind of praise comes to him simply! The Art of War, everyone? Is he?

The growth of a generation of famous generals is always accompanied by ups and downs, can not always be smooth sailing, smooth sailing is easy to overturn in the gutter, only people who have experienced countless things can firmly grasp every opportunity, so as to play their own piece of the sky!

How far will Wei Yan, who has experienced a lot, grow? Then wait and see! (To be continued)
