Chapter 9 Talk to Cao Gong

Sun Quan was stunned. His blue eyes stared at Gan Yu. He opened his mouth and did not move. After a long time, he licked his lips and said with a smile, "Feng Xian beat Zhang Liao?"

"Yes." Gan Yu is still very excited now. He said loudly, "Captain Sun defeated Zhang Wei and Zhang Hu one after another in front of the battle, and later defeated Zhang Liao. Tens of thousands of Cao's army were scared, which was a rare pleasure. After hearing this, the generals on the Ruxu dock were very happy. Long live the mountain, and the morale of our army has soared.

Sun Quan waved his hand and interrupted Gan Yu's words. His mood is very complicated, not only relieved and relaxed, but also mixed with some loss. On the one hand, he hopes that Sun Shao can defeat Zhang Liao, break the fear of Zhang Liao by Jiangdong soldiers, and improve morale. On the other hand, he inevitably hopes that Sun Shao will die before the two armies - this time, Sun Shao himself took the initiative to challenge, which is a rare opportunity. If he dies like this, even if others have some complaints, there is not much to say. What. Since he angrily agreed to Sun Shao's fight in Jiangbei, this mood of worrying about gains and losses has been hovering in his mind, making him restless and sleepless all night.

Now Sun Shao actually defeated Zhang Liao. Whether he originally hoped or worried, it was not a problem, but the new problem was immediately revealed. How can Sun Shao reward him for this great achievement? After defeating a fierce general like Zhang Liao, the momentum of Sun Shao becoming a new generation of brave generals is unstoppable. He will definitely become an idol in the hearts of young people. How can you let him lead such a warrior?

Sun Quan's mouth was very bitter. He vaguely felt that he thought things too simple at the beginning, but now he is in an involuntary situation. He turned his head and looked at Changshi Sun Shao, with a helpless wry smile at the corners of his mouth.

Sun Shao also thought of this problem, but his mood was not as embarrassing as Sun Quan. He looked at Gan Yu and said, "What is Captain Sun still doing in Caoying?"

Gan Yu woke up from a dream and said quickly, "Captain Sun said that he would take this opportunity to persuade Cao to retreat."

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "What a big tone. Can he persuade Cao Jian to retreat? Even if he has this ability, has he received the supreme order? He is arrogant and good at doing things. He is really bold.

When Gan Yu heard this, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He heard an ominous smell from Sun Shao's words. His eyes swept over Sun Quan's expressionless face and immediately lowered his head and never dared to say anything again.

Sun Quan was silent for a moment, raised his hand to interrupt Sun Shao's words, and said with a soft smile, "Although he does it himself, his heart is good. If he can really say that Cao can withdraw from the army and avoid a war, it is not a bad thing. Spring ploughing is about to begin, and if you can stop the army, you won't miss the farming time.

Sun Shao knew his identity. This good man should be left to Sun Quan. He could only be a villain. He quickly bowed and saluted: "The supreme benevolence and righteousness is beyond my reach. Although Captain Sun is good-hearted, he does not ask for orders, and the supreme should also be taught.

"Everything will wait for you to come back safely." Sun Quan gently exposed it and did not make any statement. After thinking about it, he said, "Gan Yu, you go again and send a boat of wine to Cao Ying. If this boat of wine can be exchanged for Cao Wei's retreat, this business will be worth it. In the end, he couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't tell what he was laughing at.

Gan Yu did not dare to ask more questions. He immediately took the order and left. In a not long time, he took a boat of wine from the heavy camp to cross the river again and went straight to Cao Ying.

In Cao Ying, Sun Shao and Cao Yan sat opposite. Xu Zhen stood behind Cao Yan, and Lv Yi sat beside Sun Shao. There were only four people in the whole tent. This was Sun Shao's request. He said that there was something important to be reported to Cao Wei in private. Cao Wei was also very generous and really responded. Only Xu Zhen was responsible for the defense and resolutely did not dare to leave half a step.

Just kidding, Sun Shao just defeated a brave general like Zhang Liao. What if he came to assassinate?

Sun Shao was not reluctant. He sorted out the language and said bluntly, "Shao is not talented. I've been looking up to the curtain for a long time. It's just that today's matter, but I thought that the public was mishandled, so I dared to show a hole's opinion to make up for the public's worries.

Cao Qian smiled, but his eyes were very fierce. He looked at the young man who was talking in front of him, especially his eyes. From Sun Shao's eyes, he saw nervousness and admiration, but did not see awe. Only from this look, Sun Shao said that it was not a lie to admire him.

In fact, he didn't know that Sun Shao had indeed admired him for a long time. There were so many heroes and heroes in the Three Kingdoms. He only admired the Duke of Cao in front of him, not only because of his martial arts, but also because he had a victory against foreigners in his record. He went on an expedition to Liucheng and Bailang Mountain and put the Xiongnu under house arrest in Ye City. He greatly appreciated the redemption of the peerless talented girl Cai Yan. Of course, he was also very dissatisfied with Cao Yan's indiscriminate killing of his surname, so he was full of admiration, and his awe was lacking. In terms of thought, he and Cao Yan stood at different levels.

"How can I be admired by you?"

Sun Shao smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that Cao Shen didn't care much about himself. He disdained what he deliberately wanted to say. Instead, he wanted to listen to his admiration. It seems that people say that the old people, like children, should be praised. This sentence is commonly used in ancient and modern times, and even heroes like Cao can't escape vulgarity. Fortunately, he came prepared. It was not empty words to say that he admired Cao Yan. At that moment, he smiled confidently, straightened up, and looked at Cao Yan with bright eyes: "Public poems, Shaoduo has heard of it, thought about it day and night, and is sad in his heart. Dare to make a fool of yourself in front of the public.

"Oh, have you read my poem?" Cao Shen still smiled quietly.)

Sun Shao nodded slightly, opened his mouth and said, "To the east, there is a stone to see the sea. The water is splashing, the mountains and islands are standing, the trees are overgrown, the water and grass are lush, the autumn wind is rustling, and the flood waves are surging. It is said that the moon's trip, if it comes out of it. The stars are brilliant, as if they are out of it. Fortunately, it's even a song to chant.

Cao Qian nodded slightly, and his eyes were a little trance. Listening to Sun Shao's clear and full-spirited voice, he seemed to return to the scene of facing the sea after the expedition to Liucheng. It has been more than ten years in a flash. How many people left to fight with him in those years? Guo Fengxiao and Guo Fengxiao were still by his side at that time, although he I'm dying of illness, but I'm still by my side. The people of the past are gone, how painful it is.

After Sun Shaoyin finished, he saw that Cao Jian was a little distracted, so he sat quietly in the big tent. After a while, Cao Jian came to his senses and smiled: "I didn't expect Sun Jun to know this poem."

"This poem is magnificent and unforgettable when you hear it. How can you not know it?" Sun Shao slapped a flattery quietly and said with a smile, "The boy thought about it for a long time, and he also wanted to imitate it, but he was not able to do it. It was not until last year that he floated up the river, watching the river was vast and boundless. Suddenly, he had a feeling. He got two lines of poems. He was not delusional and dared to ask Cao Gong for advice."

"Tay it to me." Cao's interest increased greatly. He straightened up from a few times and moved to Sun Shao's side. He doesn't care much about Sun Shao's intentional or unintentional exaggeration of the difficulty of crossing the Yangtze River, but he is quite interested in Sun Shao's poems. He is very satisfied with his Canghai poems, and naturally wants to see what kind of poems Sun Shao can write.

"The stars are flat and broad, and the moon is flowing. The son said on the river that the deceased was like a man. Sun Shao smiled with some embarrassment: "Only these four sentences, but the rest can't be gathered."

Cao twisted his beard, chanted a few words, and nodded repeatedly, but did not speak. For a moment, he seemed to forget that there were others in front of him and immersed himself in these poems. He watched soldiers in the river many times, and his feeling of the breadth of the Yangtze River was too deep. It was this chasm that blocked his iron horse, his footsteps of conquering the world, and his ambition to rule the world. He had never been to the south of the Yangtze River. He didn't know how wide the Yangtze River was. He only knew that he could not see the edge at a glance, so he was quite touched by the spectacular artistic conception conveyed in Sun Shao's two poems. The helplessness of the passage of time conveyed by the last two poems coincides with his current mood. When he is old, he is old, and his energy is getting worse day by day. In addition, he often has a hunch that he is about to pass away. The man is about to die, and the great cause has not been completed. It's really unwilling. He broke countless opponents, but so what, can he delay the passage of time? No, even if the saint can only look at the water and sigh, what can he do?

The more Cao Qian thought about it, the more he couldn't help but feel sad. His nose was also a little sore, and he actually sighed. Lv Yi looked at Sun Shao's background and was simply impressed. It was a miracle that he actually said the murderous Cao Yan into tears. However, he didn't know that Cao Hen was actually a true person, especially when he felt that there was not much time, he was more prone to emotion. Sun Shao has carefully analyzed his psychology. These four poems are also carefully matched, of course, with one arrow.

"I lost my temper." Cao Yan wiped his tears and said with some shame, "Good poetry, although it is only four sentences, it is bold. Although Sun Jun is young, he is full of literature and martial arts, and his future achievements are unlimited. Sun Jun, you should work hard."

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "In front of Cao Gong, how dare the boy call Wen Wu Quancai? The text is only a few remnant poems, and it is still inspired by Cao Gong's poems. Martial arts can't be more than a man's courage, and it's not worth mentioning. How can you be called a hero if you can hold the barbarians like the Duke of Cao and spread the power of our big man in the realm of aliens.

"Hahaha..." Cao Qian laughed a few times, and the sadness just now suddenly disappeared. He looked at Sun Shao and said with a smile, "You are too modest. With your ability, it's a little too condescending to be a lieutenant. There are many things in the world. It's a good opportunity for you to make contributions, but why are you so cramped? Sun Jun, aren't your poems specially written for me?

Sun Shao smiled and bowed: "I dare not. However, Cao Gong has a good heart and is also God's will. The river is vast, and our Jiangdong sailors are the most powerful in the world. Cao Gong had Jingxiang sailors in his hands, and he still couldn't cross the river one step. Now, with only a few broken ships of Qingxu sailors, can he cross the river? It is clear that Cao Gong can't cross the river, so why do he have to hurt the soldiers? As soon as the army moved, the world was uneasy. Shao thought that Cao Gong's move was very unwise.

"Hehehe..." Cao smiled faintly and looked at Sun Shao without saying anything.

Sun Shao was generous and calm, and then said, "Shao is Cao Gong's plan. If you want to take the east of the Yangtze River, you must first take Yizhou. Yizhou is in the upper reaches, and there are sailor warships. In those years, when Qin took Chu, he first took Bashu, and then went down the river. It was like a broken bamboo, and there were four seas. Today, in the next three points, the public is one against two, not to take the upper reaches with heavy troops, but to attack the beard with a large army, which is not the duty of the wise.

"Ba Shu? Hey hey, with General Zhengxi, what are you worried about? Liu Bei's cunning captive, to defraud Yizhou, is he the opponent of the general of the Western Expedition? Don't worry, if you don't go down to Yizhou, the two armies will naturally hunt in Eastern Wu. Cao Shen said calmly, but his heart was a little uneasy. What Sun Shao said seemed to be very reasonable, but why didn't anyone remind himself this time?

"General Zhengxi?" Sun Shao suddenly smiled and smiled disdainfully. He stretched out a finger and shook it and said lightly, "This is a public mistake."

"Why did you say this?" Cao Hen looked at Sun Shao with some surprise.

Sun Shao raised his head, faced Cao's eyes, and did not flinch at all. Cao Gong knows what kind of person General Zuo is. Although he is not Cao Gong's opponent, he is not what General Zhengxi can deal with. And the general of Zhengxi is good at surprise attacks. There is a proverb in the army that Xiahou Yuan, the lieutenant of the army, three is five hundred, and six is one thousand. The surprise attack is unexpected, but will General Zuo give him this opportunity? When Hanzhong was lost, the door of Yizhou was opened, and Liu Bei waited for the day. He couldn't lie down yet. How could he give the general Zhengxi a chance to make a surprise attack? In my opinion, General Zhengxi is brave and unprepared, but there is a possibility of being surprised by General Zuo. Moreover, there were many cavalry under the generals of Zhengxi. In those years, they crossed Xiliang, broke the horse super, and broke Han Sui. They relied on the ability to march quickly. However, in Hanzhong and Ba County, the cavalry not only could not become the main force, but was controlled step by step. Zhang Fei broke Zhang Yu in Dangqu last year, which is a clear proof. Cao Gong has been a soldier for many years. Doesn't he have any knowledge of this? Will the two armies hunt in Jiangdong? Hahaha..."

The corners of Cao's eyes were bursting, and Sun Shao's words shocked him. Suddenly, the uneasiness in his heart was amplified. He is very clear about Xia Houyuan's habit of using soldiers. As Sun Shao said, Xia Houyuan likes to march quickly. He can be surprised by surprise, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, if the other party does not give him a chance, he may be harmed by it and be hit head-on by the other party. Bashu is a mountainous area, which is different from Xiliang. Zhang Yu lost to Zhang Fei in Dangqu last year. Although he was a little uneasy, he still thought it was an accident. It was common for soldiers to fight a war. Besides, Zhang Fei is also a famous enemy, not weaker than Zhang Yu, and it was not surprising to defeat Zhang Yu. Now that Sun Shao said so, he suddenly I have made up my mind that Zhang Yu's defeat to Zhang Fei is not only accidental, but also inevitable. The terrain there determines this result.

The young man in front of him is not brave. His eyes are very sharp.

Cao's eyes turned, and he had a calculation. He waved his hand disapprovingly and pretended to be unhappy and said, "Since General Zhengxi started the army alone, he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and all directions have been defeated. The tiger has walked to the right and crosses thousands of miles. The Qiang people have broken his courage, and Liu Bei is not the opponent. Why does Sun Jun have to be sensational? Is he a person who is easy to be bullied?

Sun Shao didn't explain either. I'll say it here first. It's better if you don't listen. When Xia Houyuan is stabbed by Lao Huang Zhong, you will know that I'm not kidding you. He continued, "In that case, please wait and see. Whether Lord Cao has confidence or not, it is said that it is unbreakable and there is no need to say. Chunshui Fangsheng, if Cao Gong doesn't have a more effective means of attack, he'd better leave early. Why do you suffer from hurting the life of the soldiers in vain? In case of any quarrel, not only will Cao Gong's reputation be damaged, but I'm only afraid that Cao Gong's worry is not in Jiangdong, but in Xiaoqiang.

Cao's heart palpitations bursts, and Sun Shao's words killed his heart. The most annoying thing for him now is not Hanzhong or Jiangdong. If he loses Hanzhong, he can still be involved. Liu Bei is divided into Yizhou at best like Gongsun Shu. Jiangdong has more than enough defense and insufficient attack. Over the years, he has not dared to cross Huainan. Even if he can't unify, as long as future generations work hard, it is also a matter of course to conquer Jiangdong. He came to conquer Jiangdong this time. As Sun Shao said, there was no means to win. It was just that he had just crowned the king last year, and he had to come out to show his soldiers once to prove that he was crowned king. At the same time, he took the army away from Ye City to give those who were ready to jump out. He didn't think about taking Jiangdong at all. Facts have also proved that this is impossible at all. The results he can get so far are the most ideal achievement.

However, Li Si's problem is a thorn in his heart, and Sun Shao is now unsweringly pulling this thorn. He was restless by this thorn and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He snorted and fought back: "Sun Jun has a long-term vision. Why do you think he has been so short-sighted?"

Lv Yi's heart moved and immediately raised his vigilance. He heard the smell of Cao's counterattack. He was provoking the relationship between Sun Shao and Sun Quan. He subconsciously glanced at Sun Shao, but Sun Shao seemed to hear something funny and couldn't help smiling.

"Cao Gong, what do I worry about?" Sun Shao shook his head disapprovingly: "Mr. Cao may not know my ambition, but I don't know."

"What are your ambitions?" Cao Shen didn't believe Sun Shao's nonsense. He felt that Sun Shao was covering himself up. He would know that he would leave Lu Yi, the school scholar beside Sun Quan at the scene all the time. Sun Quan sent him to cross the river to challenge. If he didn't want to kill with a knife, it would be called a ghost. However, he still looked at Sun Shao with a smile: "What are your ambitions? You might as well talk about it."

"Hey hey." Sun Shao said without any avert's words, "Sleep until you wake up naturally, and count the money until your hands cramp."

Cao Yan was stunned. Although he had figured out several very hypocritical answers for Sun Shao, he didn't expect it to be this at all. He looked at Sun Shao for a long time as if he were looking at a monster. Suddenly, he laughed very happily. While laughing, he patted the table. This boy is so funny that even lying is so funny. This ambition is really interesting. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and he has to count money until his hands cramp. Does the world lose money? This boy is so funny that he doesn't have any sourness at all, which makes people feel comfortable.

Sun Shaoyi is still not finished, and he explained, "I'm a lazy person. What I'm most afraid of is the official documents that can't be processed forever. If you want me to be an official, you might as well kill me. I can't imagine that Duke Cao is like this, and he is still worried about the state affairs. Mr. Cao, how is your life, such as the morning dew? If you don't have fun in time, it will be too late to regret when you survive.

Cao Qian was once again amused by Sun Shaoyu's earnest persuasion, but this time, in addition to laughing, he sighed a little. Yes, I'm over 60 years old, and there are still a few years left. I've been busy all my life. What can I do in the end? Isn't it a peony? He has fought for so many years, and is used to life and death. He has doubts about ghosts and gods. If there is a real spirit when a person dies, I'm afraid those who are killed by him are waiting for him in hell. Thinking of this, the corners of Cao's eyes suddenly couldn't help getting up, his whole face became very strange, his eyes turned red, and his face became very ferocious and terrible.

Lv Yi was shocked and thought that Cao was angry and was going to kill, so he couldn't help straightening up. Xu Zhen felt something was wrong. He glanced at Cao Yan and was also surprised. He hurriedly shouted, "Cao Gong is all right. You should retreat quickly. Come on, quickly pass it on to the medical craftsman.

Sun Shao stood still, staring at the painful Cao Yan, and suddenly said, "Huhou, is there a doctor in your camp who can cure the head?"

Xu Zhen was stunned and turned his head to look at Sun Shao: "What do you mean?"

Sun Shao stretched out his hand and rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands, and looked at Xu Zhen very seriously: "If not, let me have a try."

"You?" Xu Yu smiled silently and stood firmly in front of Sun Shao. He stretched out his hand and made a farewell gesture. Although Cao Ying does not have a doctor who can cure the wind, he can't let Sun Shao get close to Cao Yan. In case he kills, it will not be a problem. Not to mention that Sun Shao also has a knife. Even if he doesn't have a knife, he can kill Cao Yan with only two hands. Of course, Xu Zhen, a master, will not make such a mistake. There is still a possibility of recovery if the head wind persists for a while. If the neck is broken, there is no cure.

Seeing that Xu Zhen had no intention of making concessions at all, Sun Shao had to smile and quit the big account with Lu Yi. In a moment, several medical craftsmen with medicine boxes rushed, and then several cronies followed. Liu Ye and others went in and took a look, and then came out one after another and waited outside the account. As soon as he saw Sun Shao, Liu Ye strode over and arched his hand: "Captain Sun."

Sun Shao didn't know him, so he quickly returned the salute: "Your Excellency?"

"The history of the commander under the prime minister's account, Huainan Liu Ye."

When Sun Shao heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Ziyang. I've been looking forward to you for a long time."

Liu Ye smiled and didn't take it seriously. I don't know if Sun Jun knows why the Prime Minister fell ill?

Sun Shao turned his eyes and pretended to be confused, "It's probably worried about the war."

Liu Ye was not satisfied with this answer: "I dare to ask Sun Jun what he just talked about with the Prime Minister. I don't know if I can tell you."

Sun Shao shook his head and said no words with a smile. Liu Ye frowned, but he was not reluctant. While thinking about it, Sun Shao smiled and said, "Mr. Ziyang built a Thunderbolt car in Guandu and made great contributions to defeating Yuan Shao. Why didn't he find such a killer before the battle between the two armies?"

Liu Ye smiled. The farthest distance of the thunder car is only 500 steps, and Jiang Xinzhou is at least a thousand steps away from the shore. Is it used to float? Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly thought of something. His heart moved and immediately smiled: "Is Sun Jun also interested in this?"
