Chapter 72: Zhuge Liang gave words
Liu Chan followed Zhuge Liang's line of sight and found that in the corner of the pavilion, there was still a woodcutter standing.
He was taken aback, "Father, this ...... He's just a woodcutter, can he really come up with such an ingenious strategy to break the enemy? ”
Liu Chan was surprised again and again for a while, quite incompetent.
The five-way army that made the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs anxious was seen through by a woodcutter?
The mentality is also the same as the previous Ma Tan, which is extraordinarily wonderful.
Then I thought that this person must have been approved by his father, maybe he was a new student or disciple of his family.
can be favored by the father, there must be its merits.
Any magical person or thing, as long as it is linked to the father, becomes less magical.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, waved his feather fan and said, "It is indeed this person." ”
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this woodcutter, the first emperor looked at the thatched house three times and invited Weichen out of the mountain, and the minister was just a mountain and a wild villager."
Liu Chan glanced at Cao Jun again, and after having Zhuge Liang's disciple aura, he only felt that it was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
He clapped his hands and applauded: "I heard that Xiangfu often complains to people, saying that the six counties of Jiangdong are full of talents, first there is Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is followed by Lu Su, Lu Su is after Lu Meng, and after Lu Meng, there is Lu Xun. ”
Ma Tan on the side heard that Liu Chan actually compared Cao Jun with the four governors of Eastern Wu, and he was very unconvinced, he took two steps forward, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I don't know what the person who sent the envoy to Eastern Wu wants?" ”
Liu Chan also asked on the side: "That's right, I heard that the prime minister said that I was so angry that I forgot about the envoy to Eastern Wu, and the matter of the Fifth Route Army has not been resolved?" ”
"Is there anyone you like?"
Zhuge Liang laughed, quietly glanced at the two people behind him, and saw that Cao Jun was still standing in the corner, with no smug look on his face, and he looked at his nose and nose, full of concentration.
Ma Tan hung his hands nervously, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his eyes were full of anticipation, and even a hint of begging.
Under the comparison between the two sides, the high and low judgments are made.
But Ma Tan was also an old man who followed the emperor and him, and he just sighed slightly in his heart, and slowly said the words he had thought of before.
"This mission is not easy, the envoy needs to be sharp-toothed, courageous, not afraid of axe disasters, and have a strategic mind, and be loyal to the Han to be competent."
Every time Zhuge Liang said a word, Ma Yan's chest straightened up a point, and when Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please send an envoy to Dongwu." ”
Zhuge Liang sighed again, and had to nod in agreement.
After Liu Chan and Ma Tan left, Zhuge Liang changed his previous gentle image, and asked Cao Jun sharply: "I regret that you have a strategy, but you have a white body, and you have the opportunity to work with you for the country, why didn't you say it just now?" ”
In fact, Zhuge Liang already had a candidate in his heart.
This person is a new savage in Yiyang, surnamed Deng, named Zhi, the word Bo Miao, and is now the head of the household, but Ma Tan was repeatedly stimulated by Cao Jun, and he had already had the heart to compete for favor, and after taking the initiative to ask for help, he had to agree.
Although Cao Jun's words were astonishing, the details and birth had not yet been ascertained, and he categorically would not have sent this person to envoy to Soochow.
This time he was deliberately testing him.
Cao Jun was silent for a long time, and he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.
When dealing with Zhuge Liang, you can't lie blindly, and you won't be stupid enough to tell the truth, it must be nine truths mixed with one lie.
True and false, false and true, this is the most difficult to distinguish.
It's also good to help him get by.
Cao Jun bowed and saluted: "The prime minister said before, not allowed, not allowed to speak, now the grass people not only see the prime minister, but also fortunate to see the face of the sky, see my lord young and hard-working, my heart is happy, and I am sincerely afraid, I dare not speak out." ”
Zhuge Liang remembered his posture of talking in front of Ma Jian before, how could he be half frightened in his heart?
However, Cao Jun's identity is a mystery, and he is also a little incomprehensible to this person, so he will definitely not be entrusted with reuse until he has figured out his roots.
"You woodcutter, what is the purpose of taking the risk of coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see me now?"
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although the grass people are woodcutters, they are also a member of Shuzhong, and their suggestions belong to their own affairs, and they dare not peep."
Zhuge Liang wanted to test Cao Jun, and it was best to force him to show his heels, but Cao Jun's answer was also leaky, but it caused doubts and suspicions in his heart.
But every human being has desires and desires.
Cao Jun's shirk made him notice something unusual.
"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished, this is the foundation of my Han Dynasty's strength, you have now said the countermeasures of the five-way army, and you can be regarded as a meritorious person, what do you want, just say it."
Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Jun still looked like he didn't get in, he just hung his head and pretended to be an ostrich, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little, "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, people live for a lifetime, either for fame or for profit, I don't believe that you can be a woodcutter, you can also do without desire, if you blindly shirk, you will seem to be empty-hearted." ”
Cao Jun was hanging his head, like a primary school student being trained in front of his parents, just thinking about leaving when he was done.
Since this Zhuge Liang can't inspire the task, the use value in his heart will be greatly reduced, and he has no choice but to be a ruthless scumbag who pulls out birds.
I didn't want to shirk anyone, but I pretended to be too much.
At this moment, he was woken up by Zhuge Liang's words, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat in his heart.
Oh my boy, have I forgotten who this person is in front of me?
It's clearly an old monster that is not easy to mess with.
It strengthened Cao Jun's determination to lift the crotch of his pants and leave.
"Prime Minister, if you think that the grass people have contributed meritorious, then give the grass people a word! The grass people's parents died early, and there were no elders in the family, and they had names and surnames but no words, so they asked the prime minister to give them words. ”
Zhuge Liang stared at Cao Jun for a while, and saw that he was still not in a hurry, and his answers were methodical and reasonable, and he lost interest in continuing to probe him.
However, the other party's credit this time is also worthy of his words.
"Your surname is Cao, your name is Jun, Jun is a humble gentleman, I will give you a word, Cao Haoran, a humble gentleman, Haoran righteousness, how about it?"
Ordinary people have to be given words by the prime minister, and they are grateful.
How do you know that Cao Jun realized that he had pretended to be too much before, and this time he wanted to change his image in the other party's heart, but after hearing it, he actually did not lean over to thank him, but bargained critically: "I also hope that the prime minister will know that the grass people have been chopping firewood and hunting in the mountains all the year round, and they have their own strength, and they don't love literature and martial arts. ”
"Please also ask the prime minister to give the word again."
"Haha!"
Zhuge Liang was amused by Cao Jun's ordinary bargaining, and he didn't care about the other party's crime of confrontation, and shook his feather fan again: "Then it's called 'Wenwu'." ”
"Since you have a heart for martial arts, now is the time to serve the country, I am giving you the title of captain of a army, you can choose an army to go to take refuge, go down."
"Yes."
Seeing that Zhuge Liang had lost interest in him, Cao Jun issued an eviction order and seized the opportunity to retreat.
