As soon as Cao Caofu came out, Lu Junyi, Wu Song, and Yan Qing surrounded him and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Have you got your referral letter? ”

Cao Cao didn't answer, but took out the letter from his sleeve and shook it in front of the three of them.

"This straight thief has done a good thing, and it is not in vain that grandpa I have waited for so many hours." Although Wu Song saw the letter of recommendation, he was obviously still angry.

"Wu Song, pay attention to your words, don't be so vulgar, and always be strict with yourself. It was good when I said goodbye to General Zhang Qing, but now it's getting worse and worse. Cao Cao reprimanded.

Cao Cao was bent on cultivating Wu Song as the founding pillar, so he naturally demanded more strictness from him.

Wu Songyi lowered his head and said respectfully: "Brother, I know it's wrong. ”

In fact, Wu Song also knew that his brother hoped that he could achieve great things, and he was thinking about him.

In the past few days, when he came to Lu Junyi's house, Wu Song's habits of the rivers and lakes had indeed emerged, and he knew it himself, so he did not refute Cao Cao's criticism.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the four of them returned to Lu Mansion with some talk and laughter.

Cao Cao called Wang Meng and asked how the preparations were going, and when he could leave.

When Lu Junyi heard that Cao Cao and Wu Song were leaving, he hurriedly asked, "Are you leaving?" Why not stay longer? ”

Cao Cao explained: "The position is in the body, and there can be no delay, the safety of the people in Yanggu County is tied to Wu, and I ask Lu Yuanwai to understand." ”

Lu Junyi knew that the matter was serious, so he asked instead: "Okay, where are you going to go next?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Taiyuan Mansion." ”

Lu Junyi groaned slightly: "Taiyuan Mansion? In this way, I knew a person in Taiyuan Mansion earlier, called Hu Yanzhuo, and I immediately repaired a book, so that I could take care of it. ”

Cao Cao thanked him: "Thank you Lu Yuanwai for your righteousness. ”

"It's all family, don't be so polite."

Lu Junyi turned to Wu Song and said: "Wu Song, take care of your brother along the way, if you need anything in the future, let me know, as a senior brother, I will do my best." ”

"Got it, brother." Wu Song glanced at Lu Junyi gratefully, and said goodbye reluctantly.

After leaving the Daimyo's Mansion, Wu Song asked Cao Cao why he didn't invite Lu Junyi to Yanggu to train his troops, and said: "With my senior brother's personality and ability, it is very suitable to train in Yanggu County." ”

Cao Cao explained: "Your senior brother's family business is in the Daimyo's Mansion, listen to the meaning of his words, and don't want to leave the Daimyo's Mansion, how can I be strong?" ”

"And even if he says it, I don't think he will agree, everything has to be said at the right time, situation, and appropriateness, if the time is not right, it is useless to force it."

Wu Song heard Cao Cao's answer, combined with the books he had read in the past two days, and asked, "Is it just like what Cao Cao said, set up surprises and win at will?" ”

"Yes, I think it is impossible for a character like your senior brother to live a stable life in the Daimyo's Mansion, but I am afraid that it will not be long before we meet again, and at that time, you senior brothers will be able to be together every day." Cao Cao squinted his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

With Cao Cao's mind, he naturally understands that today is on the eve of violent turmoil.

Because the national policy of the Song Dynasty was to emphasize literature and suppress military force, it had long led to poverty and weakness, and the combat effectiveness of the army was not strong.

At this time, the Song Dynasty planned to sign a maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the Jin Liao battle and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop.

Moreover, due to the fear of separating the feudal towns, the Song Dynasty continued to reduce the local military strength, coupled with various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which led to a lot of resentment among the people and local banditry.

If there is a change in the world, Liaojin invades the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will definitely not support it under the internal and external troubles.

At that time, whoever wants to live and work in peace and contentment will not be possible.

Those who are capable will take up arms to defend their homes and countries.

Those who are incapable can only be slaughtered by others!

And what Cao Cao is doing now is to accumulate strength as much as possible before the world is in chaos.

Of course, Cao Cao never said anything about these plans, including Wu Song.

On this day, Cao Cao and his entourage entered Shanxi, Wu Song looked at the abandoned cottages on the side of the road, and the white bones that appeared from time to time, fell into contemplation, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Cao Cao seemed to be accustomed to it, and looked at the book calmly.

After a long time, Wu Song sighed and said, "Brother, although I am walking in the rivers and lakes, I have never been here, and I never imagined that the people here would live such a hard life. ”

Cao Cao put down the book: "Under the chaos of war, how can we talk about life?" ”

"This place is the land of the Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia wars, and even heaven will become purgatory on earth."

Wu Song looked at the tragic situation in front of him and said with emotion: "Yes, I now understand why you have been educating me not to be brave, a person's strength is too weak in the face of war." ”

"The morality of the rivers and lakes, the righteousness of chivalry, and the way of doing things for heaven are too insignificant compared to the suffering suffered by the people. Only by calming the four seas and ending the war can the people live a better life. ”

Cao Cao put down the book in his hand and looked at Wu Song: "Yes, only when the husband has great ambitions and ends the war can he really think about the society." ”

Seeing this situation, Wu Song said sadly: "It has only been one hundred and sixty years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, why is this so? It's a pity that I have no blood, but I have no way to serve the country. ”

Cao Cao: "Now that the court is mediocre and traitors are in charge, we still have to think about a way back for ourselves." ”

In fact, with Cao Cao's talent and wisdom, it was easy to gain a reputation in the Song Dynasty.

However, after Cao Cao learned about the situation in the Song Dynasty, he decisively abandoned this path.

Being a rich man has never been Cao Cao's ideal and pursuit.

Dominating the world and letting the people live and work in peace and contentment is Cao Cao's ideal, so he admires Li Shimin, who established the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Song didn't understand Cao Cao's words, and asked, "Brother, you mean?" ”

Cao Cao did not answer, but took out a book and read it: "The schools showed their blades and lined up in the court and said: 'All armies have no masters, and I wish Captain Ce as the Son of Heaven.'" 'Before it was right, he added the body of the ancestor in yellow clothes, and everyone worshiped and shouted long live. ”

Cao Cao explained: "The ancestor of Chai Jin produced a very wise monarch named Chai Rong, who has first-class martial arts and has the ability to govern the country and level the world. ”

"Under his rule, the people lived and worked in peace. Unfortunately, he died at the age of thirty-nine. ”

"When he died, his son was very young, only nine years old......"

"Two years later, his generals rebelled and stole the world of the Zhou Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty was not right......

When Cao Cao said this, he thought that Sima Yi had also stolen the Wei State, and that the Sima family had wiped out the three Cao clans in order to stabilize their dominant position, and the roots of his teeth creaked.

If the Sima family had ruled the country well, Cao Cao would not have been so angry, but it was this Jin State that almost wiped out the entire Han people.

Cao Cao didn't dare to imagine those dark years, but he was afraid that it was more than a hundred times more tragic than the scene in front of him.

Cao Cao secretly swore in his heart: If I return to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty one day, I will definitely break that Sima Yi's body into thousands of pieces, crush the bones and scatter ashes!
