Chapter 25 How to Drive the World
When Cao Cao heard Lei Bo's voice, he frowned and thought that the person who might have been stopped was Wen Han. He immediately stood up, glanced coldly at Yuan Shu, who was smiling, and quickly walked downstairs.
"Bold, who will stop the person invited by Cao! Get out of there!"
Cao Cao ran down in a hurry, pointed to Lei Bo and shouted harshly. Lei Bo saw that it was Cao Cao. He knew that this person could not be offended, but he got Yuan Shu's order and did not dare to disobey. He turned around and said, "Lord Cao, I am under the command of Yuan Gong. I dare not let him go without Yuan Gong's order!"
"You!" Cao Cao was so angry that he turned around and shouted, "Yuan Highway, you and I know each other!" Today, I have a banquet for guests. If you treat me like this, do you want me not to get off the stage? It makes people laugh!"
Listening to Cao Cao's tone, he was really angry.
Yuan Shu's face changed. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would be so angry, but now he loves face. Isn't it a disgrace to be ordered to be released by Cao Cao's roar?
Yuan Shao knew that Yuan Shu loved face and immediately advised, "It's just a white body. Why do you care about it? For this person, he is evil to Meng De. You also know that Meng Dexi's poems and songs are better to order people to be seated, which also shows that you are on the highway. As for the white body, after we finish what General He said, we will let Yang Hong secretly take his life. If the younger brother really wants to turn against Meng De and send it back to Luoyang, it will be ridiculous.
Yuan Shao talked about the pros and cons, and the tone in Yuan Shu's heart also dissipated slightly, and then ordered: "Thunder! Chen Lan! Then you can put the extraordinary article into the table.
After Cao Cao listened to Yuan Shu's order, his angry face restrained a little. At this time, he noticed Wen Han's figure. He was seven feet tall and medium-sized, and his seemingly thin body could not hide the explosive power inside.
But soon, Cao Cao's eyes were attracted by the nine-foot giant behind Wen Han. This nine-foot giant man's face is like a heavy date, with red phoenix eyes, a dignified appearance, and majestic standing there giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
"What a strong man! Don't you know the name of the strong man?" Cao Cao couldn't help praising.
Guan Yu, who was originally intercepted by Lei Bo and Chen Lan and was full of fire, heard Cao Cao's praise and bowed back: "My surname is Guan, Ming Yu. The word is long. Now I live in the extraordinary courtyard. I just heard that extraordinary's men said that Cao Yilang held a banquet and invited me extraordinary. I wanted to see the demeanor of the four young men in Luoyang, so I came over with audacity.
However, I didn't expect Lord Yuan Highway to be so unwelcome. If so, Guan will leave. In case it gets in the eyes of all adults!"
"Hey! This is a bad word, this is a bad word! It's all my fault that I forgot to invite guests to the highway. This is the scene just now. Don't be surprised.
When Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu was about to leave, he was reluctant to leave and quickly took the mistake on his head. Guan Yu knew that this was a statement, but when he saw that Cao Cao respected him, his resentment also dissipated a lot.
"Hahaha. Lord Cao, you invited me to come, but you talked to my brother and let me stand alone. Is this Lord Cao's hospitality?
When Wen Han saw that Cao Cao's eyes were shining when he looked at Guan Yu, his heart suddenly thumped and quickly attracted Cao Cao's eyes.
Cao Cao turned around, and Wen Han could finally clearly see the face of his idol. Cao Cao was seven feet long, a talent, and a pair of thin eyes. He couldn't help but be sucked by these eyes, with a bold smile on his face.
"Hahaha, it's my fault to neglect my extraordinary brother. Come on! Come on! Come on! Extraordinary, Yun Chang joins me in the table!" Cao Cao affectionately pulled Wen Han and Guan Yu and was about to walk up the stairs.
At this time, Lei Bo, with a fleshy face, shouted again, "That red-faced man, wait, just order..."
Lei Bo stretched out half of his hand and was pinched by Guan Yu's big hand, and he couldn't say it halfway. Chen Lan's face was anxious. Just as she wanted to come up to stop it, Guan Yu turned his head and stared at Danfeng. His murderous intention flew, which shocked Chen Lan not to come for a while.
Seeing that Lei Bo stopped him, Cao Cao couldn't stand it no matter how good his temper was. He pulled out his sharp sword from his waist and pointed it at Lei Bo and said, "Wait two, don't talk nonsense! This Guan Yunchang is also the person I invited! If you dare to stop me again, I will take your life!"
"Yes! Yes! The villain dares not. Lei Bo knew Cao Cao's character and could do it. At that moment, he hurriedly answered and dared not. Cao Cao took back his sword and gave Wen Han and Guan Yu a winking with apologies.
Wen Han smiled and didn't care, signaling Cao Cao to go upstairs. After the two went upstairs, Guan Yu snorted coldly, shook off Lei Bo's hand, followed Cao Cao and Wen Han, and also went upstairs.
Wen Han and Guan Yu followed Cao Cao to the banquet and sat down. Yuan Shao and Xu You nodded lightly to say hello, while Yuan Shu had a gloomy face and flapped his hands as if the air was smelly. After Cao Cao introduced the two, he introduced Yuan Shao, Xu You and Yuan Shu to Wen Han and Guan Yu.
At the banquet, except for Cao Cao, the rest of the people did not look at Wen Han and Guan Yu at all. Yuan Shao, Xu You and Yuan Shu talked and laughed and drank. Cao Cao was talking with Wen Han and Guan Yu. It seems that the two sides don't know each other and have no relationship. Cao Cao talked to Wen Han about the "Killing Song" for a while. Wen Han analyzed the meaning of it. Cao Cao was overjoyed. Even Guan Yu, who had never heard the song, was very interested after listening to the analysis. He took Cao Cao's hand scroll and watched it.
After half a column of incense, Cao Cao and Wen Han still had a good talk, but Yuan Shao, Xu You and Yuan Shu stopped talking.
Seeing this, Cao Cao remembered something and immediately said, "I met a man named Zuo Ci six months ago. He is the person in charge of the Danding School. I see that he has the taste of immortality and Taoism. He asked me a question, and I answered it, but he said that although my answer was good, it was not lasting and not superior. Now, why don't I throw this question to you? You are all talented, and there must be a better answer than me.
"Is it the immortal Zuo Ci? I heard that the ten permanent servant 'Zhang Rang', but I looked for Zuo Ci for a long time and wanted Zuo Ci to refine the immortal elixir for him. However, Zuo Ci's whereabouts are uncertain, and Zhang Rang sent many people to search for it to no result.
Yuan Shao's face changed and he became interested. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zuo Ci was a famous immortal. He was proficient in the Five Classics, proficient in astronomy and geography, and knew astrology to speculate about the future. He even held the book "The Book of Dunjia Heaven" in his hand.
Speaking of Zuo Ci, even Yuan Shu, who had been gloomy, gathered his spirit and looked at Cao Cao.
"It's the Zuo Cigong." When Cao Cao saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he couldn't help smiling: "The public's problem is only six words. However, from ancient times to the present, from the emperor to the common people, they are constantly looking for answers.
"Cao Akui, don't be appetizing here. Come on, come on!" Hearing the word 'Emperor', Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.
Cao Cao paused and said.
"How to drive the world?"
Cao Cao looked at the farthest Yuan Shu first. Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "The blood drives the world. People in the world are divided into three, six or nine levels. The low bloodline is the lower class, and the noble bloodline is the upper class. For example, today's emperor is the supreme, leading the court, the general leading the general, and the prime minister leading the civil officer. Officials lead the people. Level-level drive, operate the social device.
"The highway is very true. I don't know what I have in the beginning?" Cao Cao frowned gently and looked at Yuan Shao again.
Yuan Shao sneered and heard that Yuan Shu was hinting at his identity just now, but he ignored it and thought for a while: "I think it should be power that drives the world.
From ancient times to the present, only those who have gained great power can be proud of the heroes, and everyone is attached to the people of power. But this powerful person is not necessarily a noble person with a noble bloodline. For example, Han Gaozu 'Liu Bang' came from a humble background. In the end, he did not win the world and the power of the world. Therefore, I believe that power can drive the world.
After hearing this, Xu You saw that Cao Cao looked at him and said quickly, "Yuan Benchu's answer is very important, which is exactly what I mean."
"I have a unique vision at the beginning, and I admire it very much. That extraordinary brother, what's your opinion?
Cao Cao put his eyes on Wen Han again. Wen Han got up and saluted first, "He is still thinking about it. Why don't you, Lord Cao first say the answer of the day and the answer of Zuo Cixian.
"Well, a nobody, if you can't answer, just say it directly. Don't be rude there." Hearing that Wen Han was still thinking, Yuan Shu snorted coldly, guessing that there was no ink in Wen Han's chest, so he procrastinated here.
Seeing that Yuan Shu couldn't control his mean mouth, Cao Cao quickly diverted everyone's attention and said, "Then Cao was rude. Cao answered like this that day.
I answer that we should drive the world with interests. The world is so big that everyone exchanges with interests. Throughout the ages, it has been like this. The people of Li need to be full. If the people in charge of the world can't give such benefits, the people will rebel. Food is the best for the people, which is the benefit of the people. The general will be named power, kill thousands of enemies, and the general will be successful, and the achievements will be awarded the title of marquis and power. This is the benefit of the general. Officials, scholars, children and grandchildren are more powerful, which is the interests of officials.
In the face of enough interests, everyone will be moved and crazy about it. This is my answer."
After listening to Cao Cao's answer, everyone thought secretly in their hearts. After listening to the three answers, Cao Cao's is the most appropriate. Everyone agrees in their hearts, but no one will take the initiative to say it.
After a while, Cao Cao asked Wen Han, "Brother, I don't know what to think. If you can't think of it, just give it up. This question is also very profound, and the three of us can almost say the answer.
Wen Han smiled indifferently: "I don't know if there is a pen, ink and paper. I have a picture in my heart, and I want to draw it for you."
"Haha, it seems that the extraordinary brother will have an amazing performance. If I can solve the doubts in my heart, even if the extraordinary brother wants the moon in the world, I will definitely pick it for you. Cao Cao saw that Wen Han was not impatient and his face was calm. He guessed that he must have different opinions, and now people take pen and paper. At that time, paper had just been developed, which was very expensive, and ordinary people really didn't have it.
After a while, Cao Cao personally sharpened ink for Wen Han, which made people collect the meal. Wen Han threw the paper on the wine table and concentrated. In later generations, he practiced traditional Chinese painting and had a certain degree of accomplishment in pen and ink painting.
Wenhan first painted a sea, extending from head to end. Then a big boat was painted. There were people at the helm and paddled. Everyone was doing different things. Later, Wenhan began to draw pieces of rolling clouds, which were connected and had been handed over with the sea level line in the painting, forming a line of sea and sky.
