The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 283: When the Army Was Used in Guanxi
Guzang City was broken and chaos broke out in Xiliang again.

When the news reached Xudu, the government and the public were shocked!
Many ministers and officials also denounced the Xiliang generals for their lawlessness in the court.

How dare they kill high-ranking officials of the imperial court and take advantage of the chaos to plunder the people of Wuwei!
Such bandit behavior is truly a crime punishable by death.

Request the emperor to issue an order to officially send troops to quell the rebellion.

But how could the emperor have real power now?
Now the military and political affairs of the imperial court are all controlled by Prime Minister Cao, Duke of Wei.

However, Duke Wei, who had moved to Yecheng, did not take any action at this time.

He seemed to care nothing about the news of the Xiliang rebellion.

But smart people understand that the chaos in Xiliang started.

It is time for Prime Minister Cao to send troops to Guanxi!
At this time, Cao Zhang was in the military camp outside Yecheng.

As soon as I learned that a war would break out soon.

He also hurried back to Duke Wei's mansion from the military camp.

I am preparing to ask my father to let me go with the army.

I hope to get a vanguard position in the great Western Expedition to Guanzhong.

On this day, Cao Cao did not arrange to meet with ministers from outside.

The hall where government affairs were handled was empty, without a single person.

Cao Zhang simply ran back to his backyard and went straight to greet his father.

When Cao Cao saw the boy running away in a hurry, he said in a somewhat reproachful manner:
"How can you lead an army in the future when you are so clumsy?"

"Hurry up and salute your Uncle Lou!"

As soon as Cao Zhang entered the door, he started to kowtow.

Only then did he realize that Cao Cao and Lou Gui were sitting face to face.

There was a chessboard and some fruits on the table.

Lou Gui, courtesy name Zibo, was from Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

He and Cao Cao were close friends who had known each other since they were young.

During the Chuping period, Lou Gui gathered his people in the north of Jingzhou and attached himself to Liu Biao.

Later, Lou Gui realized that Liu Biao would not be able to accomplish anything great.

Then he turned to his old friend Cao Mengde.

Later, Cao Cao promised Lou Gui a high position and generous salary.

He was also unhappy about Xu You's murder.

He found an excuse of illness and asked for his resignation from Cao Cao, and had no contact with the Cao family for a long time.

And today I come here to play chess with Cao Cao.

These two old friends have had heart-to-heart talks many times.

Untied the previous knot in my heart.

And next to them, there were two young men watching.

One of them was Sima De, who was called by Cao Cao to play chess.

Although I don’t know the other Cao Zhang.

But judging from his clothes, he is just a minor official.

How could such a person get into the backyard of Cao’s mansion?

But Cao Zhang didn't have time to care about these things at the moment.

He quickly followed his father's instructions and bowed to Lou Gui, saying:

"Greetings to Uncle Lou, boy."

And Lou Gui was obviously concentrating on the chess game.

He ignored Cao Zhang and stared at the chessboard.

Sima De waited for Cao Zhang to finish his ceremony.

They looked at each other and nodded.

But how could that other person compare with Sima Shaoqing?

At this time, Cao Zhang hurriedly bowed and said:
"Oh my! This must be the famous Master Ziwen, right?"

"I've heard that you are a man of both talent and virtue."

"Now that I see, he is indeed a young hero!"

"It is my great honor to meet you today!"

"Prime Minister Cao is truly a father of talent and a son of talent. Every member of the Cao family is an outstanding person!"

"I kowtow to you..."

As he spoke, he banged his head on the ground, making loud noises.

Sima De standing next to him saw this situation.

I also thought to myself: This guy is really hardworking.

Cao Zhang is usually carefree and thick-skinned.

But it can't withstand so many good words.

At this moment, I was dizzy with flattery.

I just felt quite embarrassed and quickly helped the other person up with both hands.

"Sir, please don't be so polite. Please get up."

"May I ask, sir, who is…"

When the man heard this, he finally reacted.

It seems like I've been flattering him for a long time but haven't introduced myself yet.

He quickly bowed and said:

"I am Kong Gui from Tianshui, and I have come to Yecheng to visit Prime Minister Cao." "I have some important military and national affairs to report."

"Yesterday I wanted to visit you, Master."

"I didn't expect such a coincidence that I met you today!"

Kong Gui put his hands together and said sincerely:

"I am from a remote area of ​​the border county, and I am not good at speaking."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir."

Sima De stood by with an expressionless face.

But I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

Your mouth is like honey!
This requires you to be able to speak.

Then even Guo Jia’s coffin lid won’t be able to hold it down!

However, Cao Zhang did not get carried away.

Instead, I was attracted by this man's appearance.

Because Kong Gui is really outstanding in appearance.

Not only does he have fair skin, but he also has handsome and delicate facial features.

There are two small mustaches under his nose.

You can tell from the looks of it that he's a smart guy.

For a moment, Cao Zhang seemed to have seen him somewhere.

After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me!

This person actually served as a toast to the deceased military advisor.

Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are somewhat similar!

While Cao Zhang was surprised, he heard Cao Cao say with a smile:

"My son, you better be careful. This guy has a sharp tongue."

"It's more powerful than an army of thousands of soldiers."

"All the sycophants in the world, gather together."

"I'm afraid I can't compare to him alone!"

Kong Gui also looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

I was just about to explain something out loud.

I only heard Lou Gui who was sitting opposite Cao Cao.

Suddenly he said loudly: "Hey! This is strange!"

He now grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them into the box.

"These two calamities are a cycle, you are in me and I am in you."

"Brother Meng De and I have been here for two hours and there is no clear winner."

"I thought I had a chance to win, but it ended in a draw."

"I've been playing chess for half my life, and I've never encountered a situation like this before."

"I always won the games against Meng De before, why am I not strong enough today?"

"Could it be that I am old? Time really is merciless!"

After saying that, he patted his forehead with emotion.

Sima De also walked over with a smile:

"I remember it was like this..."

As he spoke, he took out chess pieces from the black and white chess boxes and started to place them.

"Lord Lou's black piece was here, and the Prime Minister placed his piece there..."

"Lou Gong used this as a trick, and my father-in-law cracked it the other way around..."

"In this way, we can kill each other on equal terms..."

As he spoke, he arranged the chess pieces and actually filled the board completely.

It was exactly the same move as the two had just made.

Upon seeing this, Lou Gui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
"Hiss~ Renda is truly a genius."

"You actually have the ability to remember everything you see?!"

Cao Cao had a smug look on his face when he heard this:
"Zi Bo, I play chess with my son-in-law every day."

"How can you defeat me now?"

Lou Gui sighed helplessly upon hearing this:

"Those who are good at chess plan their strategies, and those who are good at planning can achieve great things."

"By observing the gains and losses of one child, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture."

"Meng De is now the prime minister and the Duke of Wei."

"It has the spirit to sweep the world away."

"I am old and feeble, how can I compare with you?"

When he was young, he also had a high opinion of himself and had the ambition to conquer the world.

His intelligence was no less than Cao Cao's, but he was just unlucky and always ranked inferior to others.

It was also because of this that although Cao Cao appointed him as a general, he did not give him a single soldier.

Actually, I'm just a consultant.

It can be seen that he is still on guard deep down.

Seeing him sigh, Cao Cao also smiled and asked:
"Zi Bo, do you still remember the stakes of this game of chess?"
