Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 414 Dong Cheng Assassinates Cao

One month later, at the beginning of the month, outside the city of Chengdu, Yuedan commented
Cao Pi rode his horse out of the city with Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, Cao Chong and Fazheng, followed by a dozen elite guards.Now that Cao Pi is the eldest son, he also needs to protect himself.

Cao Pi turned his head and smiled at Cao Zhen: "Zidan, this month's review is a grand event for scholars, you, a guy who doesn't like reading, don't go up and make trouble. Make sure that the safety of the month's review will not affect Yuedan Review."

When Cao Zhen heard Cao Pi's teasing, he suddenly turned his head, but also laughed boldly: "Hahaha! I'm not Sima Yi and Fazheng. They read a lot, but what's the use of it? At most, it's for advice. , or Wen Lie and I can lead the troops. When the time comes, let Sima Yi take the stage to kill Yang Xiu's vigor, I'll be glad to see it!"

Cao Xiu waved his hand and said, "Zidan, it's you who don't study, not me. I study military books, but you don't study. I don't know how to learn, and I will surpass you in leading troops sooner or later."

"Fart! If you want to surpass me, you have to work hard. Leading troops to fight is a talent, what's the use of learning the day after tomorrow?" Cao Zhen snorted coldly. Although he retorted, it was just saying.In fact, Cao really knows that reading and studying are essential, and he himself is learning the art of marching and fighting in private.

Sima Yi was a little tired from riding his horse just now, and now he regained his strength, and said quickly: "What General Cao Zhen said is very true. Marching and fighting is indeed a kind of talent. What General Cao Xiu said is also reasonable. Learning the day after tomorrow is very important. There is an old saying ..."

"Okay, okay, your eloquence was put on the Yuedan review to deal with Yang Xiu, don't show off here. That guy Yang Xiu presided over the Yuedan review, and the talent will be attracted by Cao Zhi. If you don't hit him today, this guy But I still want to compete with Zihuan for the position of son." Cao Zhen interrupted Sima Yi, and at the same time speeded up his horse and rushed to Yuedan Ping's place.

The high platform of Yuedan Ping was built in an open space outside the western city of Chengdu, which is usually a market for people in nearby villages.Although today is not the day to go to the market, the rumors of the Yuedan review have been released, and the people have temporarily increased the market, making this place much more lively.

Cao Cao's carriage was also on the way, and Cao Zhi rode with him.Now Cao Zhi and Cao Chong are almost inseparable by Cao Cao's side, just for the local Cao Pi to murder, and at the same time to train them to compete with Cao Pi.

"Chong'er, Zijian, this time the moon's day is so grand that almost half of Jingzhou's talents are recruited, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked his two sons to test.

Although Cao Chong was still young, he did not die early due to historical changes.Now Cao Chong is also thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has quite a lot of opinions on government affairs and talents, but he is still extreme.

"Back to father, the talents in the south are not less than those in the north. If we can recruit some talents to join the prime minister's mansion this time, why worry about Han Wu? Eldest brother... the second brother is the son of the eldest son, he can also recruit more talents. Share your worries." Cao Zhi showed a kind smile, but Cao Cao was not satisfied with what he said.

Cao Chong glanced at his elder brother, then at his father, and then said cautiously, "Father, I want the fourth brother to compete with the second brother. The fourth brother is not ruthless or decisive enough. My father wants to train talents for the fourth brother. As for the second brother , although he is very capable, he lacks the thing that can truly become an emperor. And this thing only exists in the fourth brother, and the father does not have it. This thing is the side that the father can only show by relying on his resourcefulness——Ren De .”

"Stinky boy! You can't hold back your words." Cao Cao hurriedly patted Cao Chong on the shoulder, but he was shocked in his heart.This youngest son of mine is too smart, and too smart!

"Father, you don't need to do this. This place is actually inside the car, and people outside can't hear you. Since ancient times, kindness does not control soldiers, love does not stand up for affairs, righteousness does not manage money, and kindness does not serve as officials. Compassion does not control soldiers, but after taking control of the army, one can do great good; righteousness Don't do business, but do business after getting rich; if you don't do business with love, then do devotion after making meritorious deeds; be lazy and don't study, but be lazy after studying and establishing a career; love is deep and don't live long, but remember the past after a long life Wisdom is bound to be hurt, but great wisdom will be born after reflection and enlightenment. A family is ruined and cannot be separated from the word extravagant; But after every sentence, Cao Cao was shocked!
This is not the insight that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child should have!

"Hahaha! Good, wonderful! Excellent! Very good! Although Chong'er is not as good as Zijian in poetry, he has such a thorough understanding of life and officialdom. Tell me, which book did you read it in?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe that his son Cao Chong could comprehend this by himself at such a young age.He must have read the books of sages and memorized them.

After Cao Zhi heard his father's words, he hurriedly said to his younger brother: "Father, these words come from Zeng Guofan, a counselor under the command of the Hussar General. According to the request of Han Wu, the governor of Bingzhou, he wrote a book, which has not yet been compiled into a volume."

After hearing Zijian's words, Cao Cao sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that the person who could write such sage words was actually a civil servant under Han Wu's command.

"Okay! If that's the case, let me tell you, what do you mean by extravagance, ease, and arrogance?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, wanting to test Cao Chong again.

Cao Chong took a deep breath, as if he already knew that his father wanted to ask him this question.

"Father, the extravagant is Yuan Shaoye. The easygoing is Uncle Cao Hong. The arrogant is Yang Xiuye." Cao Chong didn't care about anything, and directly said what was in his heart.

When Cao Zhi heard his brother talk about Yang Xiu's arrogance, he hurriedly wanted to defend Yang Xiu.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Zijian Mo Yan, your younger brother is right about this matter. Although Yang Xiu is pampered, he has great talent! Although your Uncle Zilian is greedy for money, he is not afraid of death in war. At first... he is As my father's friend, Chong'er will not be able to speak so freely in the future."

It was just a reminder, but Cao Cao couldn't complain about Cao Chong in his heart.

"Prime Minister, the bazaar on the first day of the month is here, and the carriage is inconvenient to move, so it's better to get off the horse and walk." Xu Chu rode to the window and reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled, took Cao Chong and Cao Zhi out of the car, and went to the stage of Yuedan Ping under the protection of more than 30 guards.

Near the screen of Yuedan Pingtai, Cao Zhen saw the prime minister taking Cao Zhi and Cao Chong with him, so he said to Cao Pi: "Zi Huan, it seems that the prime minister doesn't want to make you his son. We exposed our strength too early. It will gradually weaken your power."

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes, and after he nodded, he glanced at Cao Chong who was standing beside his father.

Sima Yi suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes, although it passed by for a moment, Cao Xiu also saw it.

Cao Xiu is more careful than Cao Zhen, he understands that both Zihuan and Sima Yi have murderous intentions!
Cao Zhi is good at poetry, but not good at government affairs, so there is nothing to worry about.But Cao Chong is different. His intelligence is well known, so we have to guard against it!
