Chapter 156: Nan Yan returns home
Xuzhou, Huailing.
Unlike Xu Du, who was peaceful and immersed in the breath of books at this time, as the junction of Xuzhou and Yuanshu, the beacon was in flames at this time.
Cao Cao led an army of 80,000 troops divided into three routes, with Xiahou and Cao Ren as the main commander, and the three armies captured Huailing together, intending to take the Huainan land of Yuan Shu while the army was in its prime.
It's just that although Jianfeng is invincible, not long after Yuan Shu became emperor, the army under his command was quite brave and eager to make meritorious contributions, so the stalemate lasted for a long time, and Cao Jun still did not get any benefits.
It was also at this time that a letter from the rear came from the rear, which came from Xu Du.
At first, Cao Cao was still a little worried, and thought that his rebel had done something crazy in Xu Du, but when he saw this Qianli letter, his face immediately showed a little surprise.
After reading such a letter, he even thought that he had read it wrong, and then read it again seriously.
For a long time, Prime Minister Cao Cao, who was moody and quite strict with his family, actually sighed at this time.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
"This son seems frivolous, I didn't expect it to be so literary, this "Short Song Xing" is really the heartfelt words in my heart Cao Mengde, what a young son, what a world to return to!"
Cao Cao naturally didn't know that the poems he wrote in later generations were plagiarized by this rebel in advance, and after he saw this "Short Song Xing" at this time, he only felt that every sentence was what he thought.
After admiring it for a long time, he also had to let out a sigh of emotion.
"It's not my son of Cao Mengde, it seems that he was overused to him before."
After exclaiming, Cao Cao already had an idea in his heart, and at this time, the generals in the army came to ask for today's password, Cao Cao almost didn't think much about it, and immediately thought of a password.
"Pass the order, and today the army will order Nanyan."
Such a fairly simple password, Cao Cao may not have thought much about it when he said it, but when it was reported to the army, it still caused some people to be surprised.
Outside the military tent, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were both puzzled.
One of them was in charge of Cao Cao's rear supplies, and the other was in charge of Cao Cao's army's internal affairs, both of them were extremely smart people, and when the battle situation was anxious, when they heard such an order again, they couldn't help but muttered to each other.
"Wen Ruo, the prime minister ordered Nan Yan today, do you know what it means?"
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed, and although he had an opinion in his heart, he still asked Xun Yu tentatively.
What a shrewd person Xun Yu was, knowing that Cao Cao didn't like anything more than others snooping on his thoughts, it was naturally impossible to answer at this time.
"Oh? Zhong De's words seem to think that the prime minister's today's password may have another meaning? ”
After going around in a circle, seeing that the conversation came to him again, Cheng Yu also smiled again, and then opened his mouth.
"Wen Ruo, we don't have to go around in circles, there are no outsiders around this matter, Zhongde boldly spoke, maybe the prime minister may have the intention of retreating, let's prepare in advance!"
Cheng Yu took the lead, and Xun Yu nodded.
"Yes, Nanyan is going to fly north after all, and the prime minister should also feel that the battle situation here is meaningless, and he plans to go back to Xudu, but he doesn't know what happened to Xudu, which makes the prime minister think of the return of the wild goose."
Both of them were wise men, and with only a slight thought, they both saw a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes.
"Is it possible...... Did Childe do something that made the prime minister have to go back? ”
Just when the two of them were suspicious of each other, a sound of armor crashing came, and I saw that under the leadership of Xu Chu, a team of tiger guards hurriedly rushed over.
"Two gentlemen, the prime minister has a call!"
In the past, Cao Cao summoned him, and he only needed to send one person to give the order, but now Xu Chu actually greeted him in person, and both of them knew that maybe Cao Cao had something extremely dignified to explain.
With a little surprise, the two of them also quickly gathered their minds and soon came to Cao Cao's military tent.
At this time, although the war was raging outside, Yuan Shu's Zhongguo army might come over at any time, but Cao Cao was not affected in any way, and was writing poetry at this time.
Seeing this Xun Yu and Cheng Yu coming, Cao Cao did not stop writing, but did not put down his pen and ink until the little poem in front of him was finished.
"Both of them are very knowledgeable people, come and see how this poem is."
As soon as they said it, the two of them didn't dare to slack off, and then hurriedly stepped forward to observe, it was the "Tanka Xing" plagiarized by Cao Ang.
After reading this poem, both Cheng Yu and Xun Yu's eyes are bright, although this poem is not full of gorgeous rhetoric, but it is heroic and ambitious, and it is also an excellent work in the world.
"The prime minister is thirsty for talent and ambitious, we admire it in our hearts, this poem complements each other in the prime minister's decrees in recent years, and everyone will sing it in the future!"
It was Cheng Yu who spoke, and at this time his face was full of admiration, not only appreciating the poem, but also bluntly saying that it was the same as Cao Cao's decree.
And after Cao Cao heard such words, he also laughed hehehe.
"This poem is indeed a good poem, but Zhongde guessed wrong, this is not a poem made by me Cao Mengde!"
As soon as they said it, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were immediately stunned, and their faces showed a little surprise.
They are also strategists who have been by Cao Cao's side for a while, so they naturally know a little bit about this master, and they also know Cao Cao's poetry style well.
This "Tanka Xing" inherits Cao Cao's style as always, how could it not be written by Cao Cao?
Looking at the world, apart from him Cao Cao, who can write poems like Zhou Gong Tufu, the world returns to the heart, who would dare to write such verses?
Perhaps seeing the doubts of these two people, Cao Cao's smile became stronger at this time, so he added.
"This is the poem of the rebel."
Although he opened his mouth to address the rebel, when he said such words, Cao Cao's face was also quite proud.
He is not a person who likes to show off, but when he talks about this poem at this time, he is full of pride.
As soon as he said that, the two strategists in front of him didn't know who Cao Cao was talking about, and they all fell into surprise.
"What! This turned out to be a poem by the son of a son? The son of the prince has just passed the age of the weak crown, and he has such insight? ”
Seeing that these two people were also quite shocked, Cao Cao's face became even more proud, and then he continued to speak.
"Lone intends to let this son lead me to the matter of prime minister, I wonder what the two gentlemen think?"
