Chapter 101: Ten Wins and Ten Defeats
I saw that he was unruly and arrogant, and I didn't want to hear it. But he was talking about the situation in the Battle of Guandu, so he decided that it would not hurt to listen to it.
The prodigal son stood in the center of the hall and said loudly: "The first is 'Dao Sheng', Yuan Shao, as a warlord of the world, has many and chaotic rituals, and is bound by his form; Cao Cao's body is natural, and he is superior to the Tao according to the time and events; the second is 'Righteous Victory': Cao Cao is obedient to lead the world, supports the orthodoxy of the Han dynasty and defeats Yuan Shao's rebellion, which is in line with morality; and the third is 'Governing Victory': the great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty was that the ruler was not lenient in government, and Yuan Shao was lenient and lenient, so he had no way to control His Majesty. The fourth is 'degree of victory': Yuan Shao is generous on the outside but suspicious in his heart, and he only appoints relatives and children, while Cao Cao undoubtedly employs people, only talents, regardless of distance and proximity, and is better than Yuan Shao in terms of temperament and mind. ”
"The fifth is 'seeking victory': Yuan Shao is helpless and indecisive, Cao Cao is alert and resolute, and he is endless. The sixth is 'Desheng': Yuan Shao's reputation is praised, and Cao Cao treats scholars with sincerity, pays attention to practicality, and rewards must be promised, so those loyal and far-sighted and pragmatic scholars are willing to use it; the seventh is 'benevolence': Yuan Shaohuai is a woman's benevolence, sees people hungry, and is compassionate about the situation, and for what he can't see, he can't think about it, which is not the mind of a politician. Cao Cao may be negligent about the small things in front of him, but he is thoughtful about the big things in the world, all of which are helpful, and his kindness is all over the world. The eighth is 'Ming Sheng': Yuan Shao is confused by slander, while Cao Cao distinguishes between right and wrong; the ninth is 'Wen Sheng': Yuan Shao does not distinguish between right and wrong, Cao Cao is courteous to the correct one, and the incorrect one is to be right; the tenth is 'Wu Sheng': Yuan Shao uses his troops as a false momentum, and he does not know what the soldiers want, while Cao Cao uses his soldiers like a god, and the soldiers are fearful, and the enemy is afraid of them. ”
"This is ten victories and ten defeats, with these ten victories, how can Cao Cao not win against Yuan Shao, who has ten times his troops?"
As soon as he said this, the whole Dong Xiangchun suddenly fell silent, and I suspected that even an embroidery needle could make a sound if it fell to the ground.
Suddenly, one person suddenly applauded, but the lonely applause was particularly pleasant, and for a while, the audience burst into applause and cheers. After everyone rested for a while, they only heard the person who had applauded before saying: "Mr. Ten wins and ten defeats, with a unique vision, unparalleled in the world!" Listening to it is like seeing clouds and mist, making people suddenly see a bright light, and it is really a famous person in the world!"
I followed the sound and saw a middle-aged scribe standing in the crowd watching the prodigal son talk, but who was it not Cao Cao? It turned out that Cao Cao also happened to come to Dongxiangchun, and he happened to hear the prodigal son's wild words, and he was quite appreciative of his expression.
"Please ask me about the name of the high surname?" Cao Cao made an unprecedented gesture.
"Mr. Lao asked, under the surname Guo Mingjia, the word Fengxiao, is a native of Yingchuan Yangzhai. The prodigal son said.
"Sir, I have something important to ask, can you please ask Mr. to take a step?" Cao Cao said.
"Haha, only good wine and beautiful people can live up to the world. Since Mr. wants to please, it is better to obey the order than to be respectful. Guo Jiadao.
I was overjoyed, and quickly went downstairs to Cao Cao's side, and said, "Brother, please come here!"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and looked at me, and was even more happy, and said, "When did you come to Xu Du, don't tell me first, I'll pick you up." ”
"I just came here today, and I met Mr. Guo Jia without eating a drink. I laughed.
"Da Miao!" Cao Cao said, "Let's sit down and talk while drinking." ”
Wait for the four of us to sit down. Guo Jia looked at Xue'er directly, and asked solemnly, "Please ask the girl's name?"
Cher was annoyed and ignored him.
Cao Cao and I looked at each other and laughed, since Cao Cao invited him here, he didn't ask Cao Cao what his surname was, but he asked about the beauty first. Cao Cao said: "Brother Guo is really temperamental!"
Guo Jia blushed and said, "The two brothers made fun of it." ”
When the wine and food came up, everyone took a sip, but the "daughter red" of this cave Xiangchun was also a must. After drinking, I only feel that my lips and teeth are fragrant, and the true taste of the world is nothing more than this.
Cao Cao asked, "Brother Tai Gaocai, where do you work now?"
"I'm a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, and I don't have a specific livelihood. Guo Jia said lightly.
"The princes of the world are rising, in today's world of great disputes, why don't brothers find a prince to plan the world?"
"There are so many people in the world, but I have no intention of doing things for the princes. ”
Cao Cao was silent. I took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Tai, listening to your theory of ten wins and ten defeats just now, it seems that you have a lot of respect for Cao Cao, so what do you think of Cao Cao?"
"Cao Cao is indeed the hero of the world!"
"Why didn't the gentleman take refuge in him?"
"A wise counsellor should carefully gauge the power of his lord, so that whatever advice is given must be struck by a blow to the point, and thus fame will be attained. Although Cao Cao is a hero, if he can't obey me, why should I take refuge in him?"
After Guo Jia finished saying this, he got up and said, "Let's talk to a few people today, it's not early, we will have a meeting later." ”
Cao Cao said, "Where is Mr. going?"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The world is so big, where can you not be home?"
So he got up and went out laughing. Cao Cao instructed his entourage: "Follow up and see where Mr. has gone." ”
Cao Cao's expression was gloomy and did not seem pleasant. I asked, "Brother Cao, why are you suddenly depressed?"
Cao Cao said: "This Mr. Guo Jia is a genius in the world, he has seen it well, and listening to him discuss the situation in Guandu, I really have a sense of enlightenment." In the past few days, I have been worried about the situation in Guandu, and how can I not be worried about the defeat and victory in this battle. But after listening to what Mr. Guo said, I suddenly felt hopeful and felt like I had pride in my chest. But I can't be glad that such a genius can't be used by me. ”
"If you want to keep him, he will follow you. But Mr. Guo also made it clear that he just wants you to obey him in everything, which is a bit difficult. I scratched my head.
"Well, let me think about it for a few days. Cao Cao said, "Don't talk about him, you will live in my mansion when you come to Xudu this time, and our brothers will have a few drinks!"
At night, Cao Cao and I fell asleep together. At the time of the third watch, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Cao Cao jumped up, and the soldier said a few words in Cao Cao's ear, but Cao Cao suddenly laughed. I was sleepy-eyed and asked, "Brother Cao, what's wrong with you laughing like this in the middle of the night?"
Cao Cao said: "Let's go, I'll take you out to have fun." ”
I was half-pulled by him to get up, but I saw that the night outside was as cold as water, and the moon was like a hook. Cao Cao did not alarm others, and only took a dozen cronies and retinue on horseback, ran for more than ten miles, and arrived at a river. A soldier had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Cao Cao coming, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Prime Minister, that gentleman is lying over there." ”
Cao Cao and I dismounted and walked forward, but we saw a young scribe lying drunk on the side of the desk, with words in his mouth, full of drunken words. Cao Cao approached and whispered, "Sir, are you okay?"
The scribe shouted, "The storm is always changeable, and gathering and scattering are even more parting. How can we forget the lingering love? Joys and sorrows, yin and love. Where is the wine waking up in the Ming Dynasty, the willow shore is dawning and the moon is waning!"
Cao Cao frowned and asked the soldier: "What's the matter, sir, why did you get drunk here?"
"Prime Minister. Mr. Guo stayed in the Qinglou last night, and in the middle of the night, he was suddenly beaten out by the turtle slaves led by the old bustard...... After Mr. Guo was beaten, he was carried out and thrown here. I don't have an order from the prime minister, and I don't dare to disturb Mr. easily. ”
"Bastard, won't you stop you from being insulted, what are you staying here for?" Cao Cao said angrily.
He hurriedly stepped forward to help Guo Jia up, and under the moonlight, he saw that Guo Jia's face was blue and purple, and he was quite embarrassed. It's hard for him to be able to write poetry like this.
Cao Cao screamed a few times, and Guo Jia actually fell asleep in the crook of his arm. Cao Cao ordered: "Quick, go back and find a big car, no, use my car to drive and send Mr. back to me." ”
The soldiers took the order and went.
Cao Cao muttered to himself: "Looking at Mr. Guo's appearance, it reminds me of my youth. Mr. is true temperament, and Cao is also true temperament! When I saw Mr. this time, I listened to Mr. Counsel's strategy in everything, and I decided the country with Mr. ”
The moonlight is gentle, and Guo Jia is sleeping properly.
