Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21: Cao Cao enters Yan, the prodigal son mentors and apprentices

() When Lu Rui was sleeping soundly in the Hou Ye's mansion, Lu Rui didn't know that Tian Feng in Bohai had already started to stare at Cao Cao and Lu Rui, just when Cao Cao's troops left Dongjun to crusade against the Yellow Turban At that time, Tian Feng also began to plan a new strategy for Yuan Shao, to capture Jizhou!

At night, in Yuan Shao's study, Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng and asked: "Yuan Hao, our army has been short of food recently, and it has been used for less than a year. I wonder what clever plan Yuan Hao has?"

Tian Feng cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the Bohai Sea has been in chaos in recent years, and yellow scarves have spread everywhere. It is no longer a place for our army. I suggest that my lord find another place."

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Abandon Bohai? But where should our army go?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Could it be that my lord has forgotten the bet that Han Fu lost to Lu Rui in the Suanzao barracks?"

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and stared at Tian Feng. Yes, Han Fu's Jizhou has many soldiers and is very rich. The bet he made in Suanzao and Lu Rui was several times his own. There is no distress at all, which shows the prosperity of Jizhou, but can the troops of Bohai really win Jizhou?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao asked, "Yuan Hao, what is your plan to capture Jizhou?"

Tian Feng arched his hands and said: "My lord, I have two plans to carry out at the same time to capture Jizhou."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?"

Tian Feng said: "One is to support the new master and lead troops into Jizhou, and the other is to unite with Gongsun Zan in the north and attack Jizhou with Gongsun Zan as the vanguard."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Please ask Yuan Hao for clarification!"

Tian Feng said: "In the past, Xu Ziyuan united with everyone to abolish the fatuous emperor and make Liu Yu the emperor of Youzhou. Now, we can repeat the old trick and unite with Han Fu to propose Yecheng as the new capital and welcome the new emperor. Let the lord lead the troops to Yecheng to cheer. At the same time, our army can divide Jizhou equally as a bait, and secretly cooperate with Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou. ?”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he clapped his hands, laughed and said, "Be kind, just follow Yuan Hao's plan!"

When Yuan Shao was plotting to seize Jizhou, Cao Cao led a large army to fight in the east and west in Yanzhou. Yanzhou.

In order to commend Cao Cao's achievements, the imperial court first agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal, and made Cao Cao the prefect of Dongjun. Soon, because of the death of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Chen Liu and Zhang Miao joined forces with Chen Liu's family to present Cao Cao as Yanzhou Mu, after the approval of the imperial court, Cao Cao became the Mu of Yanzhou, and a recruitment order was issued in Yanzhou. Immediately, talents from all over the world came to vote, and the ugly old Cao's face showed a big red flower smile every day!

Not long after Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to go to Fan County to pick up Lu Rui to Puyang, because Lu Rui was about to turn six years old, and he would start school as a teacher.Seeing that Fan County had nothing to do, Lu Rui brought Dian Wei, Murong Ping, Ling'er and three hundred guards to Puyang. Lu Rui and his party crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Puyang within half a month.

Lu Rui brought a group of people to the prefect's mansion in Puyang. When the housekeeper of Cao's mansion saw Lu Rui, he immediately took Lu Rui to bathe and change clothes. After lunch, he took Lu Rui to the main hall to meet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat in the main hall, stroking his beard, and chatting with everyone, when Lu Rui jumped over the threshold of the gate, made a face, and called out, "Father Zhong?"

When Cao Cao saw Lu Rui, he waved happily and said, "Come on, come on, Ruier, come to Father Zhong."

Lu Rui hurriedly ran to Cao Cao. Cao Cao hugged Lu Rui and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is Meng De's adopted son, Lu Rui!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately got up, cupped their hands and said, "Meet the Marquis of Qi!"

Lu Rui waved his hand, indicating that everyone needn't be too polite, and everyone sat down separately.Here are the five great advisers of Cao Cao in the early stage, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao looked at the counselor, then at Lu Rui, and said, "Rui'er, you are already going to be six years old, it's time to choose a master to teach you."

Lu Rui nodded and said, "Well, Father Zhong!"

Cheng Yu stood up at this time and said, "My lord, let Zhong De ask Lord Hou to see which one of us is suitable to teach Lord Hou?"

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, the older counselor, nodded and said, "Okay, let Zhongde try."

Cheng Yu bowed to Cao Cao, then looked at Lu Rui and asked, "I don't know what the young master's aspirations are?" There is already a private school teacher in Fan County, who knows how to read, and the word "aspiration" can be understood by six-year-old children)

Lu Rui rolled his eyes, looked at Cao Cao, then waved the wooden sword in his hand and said, "I just want to follow Father Zhong, help Father Zhong defeat the heroes, and restore the Han Dynasty!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in satisfaction. Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty looks like a general? Charge into the battle? Kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds?"

When Lu Rui heard this, he quickly shook his hand and said, "No, I just want to command from the back, and I don't want to rush to the front. People will die!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter. It turned out that Lu Rui knew that people would die in war. Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty seems to be a counselor, making suggestions? Defeating the enemy and winning?"

Lu Rui looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't counselors need to rush to the front to fight? Just sit in the barracks? Tell the soldiers to fight whoever they want to fight?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Master Hou, you can also understand it in this way."

Upon hearing this, Lu Rui grabbed Cao Cao's beard and said, "Father Zhong, then I'll be a counselor from now on."

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my little counselor, Father Zhong will choose a teacher for you today. There are five people here, and you can choose one of them to be your teacher. Study." After speaking, he pointed to the five people in the audience.

Lu Rui looked at the crowd, Xun You, Xun Yu, they are too rigid, they must be very bookish.Cheng Yu?Almost an old man, no, Xi Zhicai?It looks serious!Hehe, only Guo Jia, with a wine jug tied around his waist, is the only one who is handsome. Lu Rui pointed to Guo Jia and said, "Father Zhong, I want him, the one with the wine jug!"

Cao Cao took a look, Guo Jia?It's okay, a resourceful and resourceful man who is also a student of Yingchuan College, so he is qualified. Cao Cao patted him and said, "Okay, if that's the case, let Feng Xiao be Rui'er's teacher."

As soon as Guo Jia heard this, he stood up and said, "Follow my lord's order!" In this way, Lu Rui became Guo Jia's disciple.

In the next few days, Guo Jia taught Lu Rui some private school master's knowledge, writing, reading, and reading in his own house. Guo Jia saw that Lu Rui basically knew everything, and he had a basic idea in his heart.On the seventh day, Guo Jia saw Lu Rui coming to the mansion, and said: "Ruier, take your guard and go out with me, and the rest will stay at my mansion."

When Lu Rui heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, master." Then he took Murong Ping and followed Guo Jia out of the mansion. Lu Rui followed Guo Jia and came to a place slowly. Guo Jia pointed, Said: "Today, we will teach here."

Lu Rui looked up, nainai, isn't this a ji courtyard?Come here to teach?No wonder I have to bring the bell, it's not suitable for girls, and Dian Wei can't bring it too, it's too scary and too ostentatious.

Afterwards, the three of Guo Jia entered the brothel, and when the old bustard saw Guo Jia, she immediately greeted Guo Jia in three steps and said, "Master Guo, are you here?" <Sister, are you getting old again? "

The old bustard patted and said: "You look young, you are young! The private seat for you has been reserved."

When Lu Rui saw it, hey, he turned out to be a regular customer. The prodigal son Guo Jia is really a prodigal!After the three of them arrived at the box, they sat down, and a few girls came in to serve them. Guo Jia let the girls go down after listening to a few ditties.Then asked: "Rui'er? Can you tell me what is the purpose of bringing you here as a teacher?"

Lu Rui thought to himself: nainai, you can't teach me piaoji, I'm still so young?How to do it?Lu Rui shook his head and said, "Rui'er doesn't know, please teach me, master."

Guo Jia looked at Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er, how did the girls change from coming in to going out just now? What's the change, little servant?"

When Lu Rui heard it, he was stunned. Didn't he listen to the music just now?How should we pay attention to the changes of the jesses and servants?Lu Rui shook his head and said, "Master, Rui'er doesn't know."

Guo Jia tapped the gourd with his thumb, took a sip of the wine and said, "Ruier, let me tell you, the girl who played the piano just now cut her finger, and the tune of the next song has changed. , lack of breath, and poor pitch. The servant who served us skipped the food and drink behind us, and the amount was too small and insufficient."

When Lu Rui heard it, he stared at Guo Jia with wide eyes. Guo Jia was really not simple. He could discover so many things by listening to a little song!

Seeing Lu Rui's unbelievable expression, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Ruier, since you want to use strategy to assist the Lord, you must observe the subtleties and find unusual things. If the two armies confront each other, you can find out the enemy's formation. If the two armies send envoys, you can discover the enemy's inadequacies and attack them! If you defend the city, you can find our army's weaknesses and defend them! If you sneak into the enemy's camp, you can find the enemy's strengths. Find out! This is why I brought you here!" When Lu Rui heard this, he immediately understood that Guo Jia wanted to train his observation skills. Observation skills are very important for a counselor. If Without observation skills, how to make suggestions?Move after making up your mind?Lu Rui cupped his fists and said, "Understood, master!"

Guo Jia smiled, took out the wine money and said, "Ruier, today's class is over, let's go to another place."

Lu Rui looked at the food and wine on the table, haven't you eaten yet?just leave?At least I try it.Guo Jia looked at Lu Rui looking at the wine and dishes on the table, and said, "Ruier, do you know why I have to bring wine with me?"

Lu Rui shook his head, and Guo Jia said: "Everyone knows that Feng Xiao is addicted to alcohol. It is not easy to poison Feng Xiao. Advisers must always be vigilant, the place of fireworks is the most confusing!" After finishing speaking, he sang Singing and leaving.

Lu Rui followed Guo Jia with a look of admiration on his face. Be good, the ancient counselors are really powerful, especially those like Guo Jia, who teach so well!

After Guo Jia took Lu Rui out of the brothel, he took Lu Rui to the market, restaurant, post station and other places where the three religions and nine schools gathered. A group of people are not in the mood anymore, and now it is fun to follow Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's alternative teaching benefited Lu Rui a lot. In the next few months, Guo Jia took Lu Rui to the place of fireworks, tasted Puyang delicacies, saw Puyang beauties, and became a master and apprentice of the prodigal son in Puyang City, eating, drinking and having fun every day , never tire of it!

On this day, Lu Rui followed Guo Jia to the brothel again. Lu Rui and Murong Ping enjoyed delicious food in the outer hall of the box, while Guo Jia kissed me with a jerk girl named Xiaoqiu inside, while Lu Rui ate. , While complaining, nainai, Guo Jia would also use the public to benefit his own interests, and it is true that he brought himself to learn art, and even came to have an affair by the way. Thinking of this, Lu Rui despised Guo Jia infinitely in his heart! < Ren's soul and young body are understood by men!I saw Guo Jia came out with a happy face, and Lu Rui looked at Guo Jia: Are you having fun again?

Guo Jia sat down, took a sip of wine, and said, "Ruier, can you see the businessman downstairs?"

Lu Rui followed Guo Jia's point, looked over and said, "I see, master!"

Guo Jia said: "He claims to be a businessman from Jizhou, Hebei, but he doesn't like noodles, but rice. Is Rui'er the reason?"

Lu Rui looked at the man and said, "Master suspects that he is from the south?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Not bad."

Lu Rui asked suspiciously: "Master, just because of this, doesn't it mean that he is from the south?"

Guo Jia said: "Of course not. Qiu'er told me just now that the sisters in the brothel said that this person has come in a carriage for the past few months. He is not good at riding a horse, but he likes water. One day a girl mistook a basin of water. He poured his body, and made a promise: I haven't been cruising for a long time, but now I am lucky to meet this water!"

When Lu Rui heard it, the intelligence personnel of the ancients were not very professional, and they would show their feet often. This person seems to be from the south, so he is likely to be a spy of Yuan Shu or Tao Qian!Or the contact person of intelligence!

Guo Jia looked at it, and then said, "Ruier, I've made arrangements, let's arrest people!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia got up and was about to leave. Lu Rui pointed to Guo Jia's pants and said, "Master, you didn't fasten them properly!"

Guo Jia looked at her lower body, was startled, put it on quickly, looked at Lu Rui and said, "Ruier, I'm here for business today. When I see your wife, I know what to say. I'm here to arrest you." Spy!"

Lu Rui nodded and said: "Yes, master!" He said yes, but he cursed infinitely in his heart, master, you are letting children lie, it is really unkind!

Soon Guo Jia and Lu Rui captured the spies and intercepted the intelligence. Since Yuan Shao captured Jizhou without a single soldier, Gongsun Zan led troops to attack Yuan Shao because he was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's deception. At the same time, he joined forces with Tao Qian and Yuan Shu to prepare to attack Cao Cao captured Yanzhou, crossed the Yellow River north, and attacked Yuan Shao!

After Guo Jia received this information, he quickly reported it to Cao Cao. After discussion, Cao Cao and his group decided to attack Yuan Shu in the south first and Xuzhou in the east.In this way, Cao Cao's first eastward expedition to Xuzhou was about to kick off.

Guo Jia was going to go out with the army, so he couldn't teach Lu Rui, so Lu Rui had to return to Fan County temporarily, and wanted to go out with the army?That can't be done, it's a war, it's not Suanzao making money for the allies, so you can't go!
