Chapter 255 Meng De, you are luckier than the old man!(1/2)
Chapter 255 Meng De, you are luckier than me!
——When I saw the soldiers in the rain, you didn’t hold an umbrella, the soldiers didn’t eat, you were hungry, the soldiers didn’t put up tents, and you didn’t sleep! I finally understood how to be a real general!
When these words came out of Cao Cao's mouth, Huangfu Song felt a little sore in his nose.
He learned "the human heart" from Cao Cao, but Cao Cao learned "what is to lead an army" and "what is war" from him...
At that moment, Huangfu Song realized that maybe... Cao Cao in the future would be a handsome man who could be of great use.
He is too young and too wise... As long as he abandons the stubbornness and "naivety" in his bones, his future is limitless!
even…
Huangfu Song felt extremely humiliated for a moment. Compared with Cao Cao's open-mindedness, he was so narrow-minded, so selfish, and even boring to the point of being hateful.
After a long time, Huangfu Song murmured: "Mengde, during the war, your forbearance, tenacity and fraternity were taught to you by your third brother Liu Yu?"
this…
Such a question suddenly came from the mouth of the general.
Cao Cao paused, nodded, and then shook his head, "I don't know either, but ever since I met my third brother, everything seems to be more organized... When Qiaozi changed my name, he said that I
His nature is like a blazing flame and his love is like steel. He is prone to worry and manipulation, and lacks the virtue of moderation in his temperament, so he is named Mengde... Perhaps, if he stays with his third brother for a long time, the risk of worrying and manipulation can be alleviated.
One point, the virtue of moderation can make up for the slightest.”
These words came out of my mouth...
Huangfu Song smiled, "You're right..."
In fact, Huangfu Song was thinking, how could his character not be like a flame? How could it not be like steel? How could he...not always be guilty of worrying and manipulating, and lack the virtue of moderation?
Liu Yu changed Cao Cao, why didn't he change Huangfu Song?
"Okay, we've almost finished chatting. It's time for me, general, to go back." Huangfu Song stood up slowly and was about to resign.
"General, won't you sit down for a while longer?" Cao Cao stood up quickly...
Obviously they didn't chat for a few words, but... Huangfusong said that they were almost done.
"I won't sit down anymore." Huangfu Song sighed and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, "When I first heard that you were serving as the Prime Minister of Jinan, I was worried about you, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary...
You have a good brother, and with his help, you can build mountains on every mountain and build bridges on every river...the future is bright!"
this…
When Liu Yu was mentioned, Cao Cao frowned slightly and opened his mouth... as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Huangfu Song saw that Cao Cao was worried, "While I'm still here, you might as well speak up if you have anything to say."
"General..." Cao Cao handed over his hand, "I have doubts about the last general..."
"doubt?"
"My third brother asked me to serve under the general before, so that I could experience... and let me experience what a real battlefield is. But now... I have experienced it, but my third brother was ordered to conquer Wuhuan in the north. Such an important military operation was not
He didn’t invite me to go...but...it was..."
Cao Cao's tone was a little hesitant...it seemed that he was still a little dissatisfied with the "Prime Minister of Jinan" appointed by the imperial court.
"I really can't figure it out...if my third brother wants me to help him in his Northern Expedition, all he needs is an edict, but...but in the end, I was appointed the Prime Minister of Jinan...to go to a vassal country to be the Prime Minister.
I don’t understand why this is? If following the general last time was for experience, then why is the Prime Minister of Jinan this time?”
"Ha..." Huangfu Song smiled when he heard this, and he grinned, "I haven't been with Liu Yu for a long time, but only a few times, I can understand his ability... He does everything with a sense of
With a strong purpose, he will never neglect anything or anyone. Maybe he doesn't know that you are now appointed as the Prime Minister of Jinan, but he didn't take you to the Northern Expedition. There is only one possibility, you... Cao Mengde's experience is not enough
!”
Huangfusong's tone became meticulous, "You are an outstanding handsome man, but you are still too young and have too little qualifications. Maybe Liu Yu doesn't want you to follow in my footsteps and wants you to have more experience in the officialdom, haha
...Speaking of this...I am a little envious of you, Ruoji
Years ago, I also had a brother like Liu Yu. Maybe... I wouldn't have to be imprisoned in Beisi Prison for a few years. Maybe five years ago, I was the one who took care of Xia Yu and Tian Ying to attack Xianbei in the north. Maybe... I can also follow the example of Zhengxi.
General Huo Qubing usually consecrates His Majesty at Langjuxu Mountain!"
call…
Huangfu Song's words made Cao Cao gasp for breath.
——Fenglang Juxu...
——General Zhengxi!
Isn't this also Cao Cao's dream?
With a "gudong" sound, Cao Cao handed over his hand... "Disciple has learned the lesson!"
"You are luckier than me!" Huangfu Song finally patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, "Your future achievements will definitely be far better than mine!"
…
…
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched out the shadow of a sighing middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is Cao Song...
In front of the mansion of Chang Rang, Cao Song looked up helplessly and glanced at the originally grand and grand gate, which was now torn down and rebuilt, and he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Cao Song...because of his father Cao Teng, he has always been part of the eunuch clan.
Of course, over the years... Cao Song rose to prominence and became very close to many scholar-officials, but... these scholar-officials were polite to Cao Song on the surface, but secretly... they still called him the eunuch's adopted son.
This class position destined by birth... is deeply rooted.
And this time, the reason why he came to visit Zhang Rang... Well, it was for his son.
Different from Cao Song waiting outside the gate...
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong in the mansion were chatting. When they saw the greeting card from Cao Song, they were both furious.
Zhao Zhong said angrily: "What kind of bullshit son did Cao Song raise? He thought he was a real hero after fighting in a few small battles. He was given the title of Cavalry Captain with two thousand stones for the sake of his grandfather. Now he is making trouble."
They are so lawless that they publicly accuse Tianlu Toad of embezzling military salaries!"
Zhang Rang said in a sharp voice: "If we don't let him suffer a little, he won't know how to speak and behave. I'm probably here because of the affairs of the Prime Minister of Jinan..."
Zhao Zhong leaned forward and said: "Jinan Kingdom has had twenty-seven prime ministers in the past ten years. There is no news about the one who just left. We don't know whether he is dead or alive. We really can't send anyone here at the moment. Your Majesty."
Sending him there... saves us the trouble of taking care of it!"
"What about Cao Song?" Zhang Rangba smacked his lips.
Zhao Zhong waved his hand, "Why bother with him? Didn't his son do well in Dunqiu in the past? Let him try in Jinan!"
As soon as this statement came out...
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other...
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The two of them laughed out loud as if they were out of breath.
But as the laughter stopped, Zhang Rang suddenly thought of another thing.
"One more thing!"
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had a perfect tacit understanding. Zhang Rang opened his mouth, and Zhao Zhong heard the message, "You mean... His Majesty asked Cao Song and Xun Yu to handle the matter of appeasing the 300,000 Montenegrin troops?
"
Zhang Rang didn't answer...he just nodded solemnly.
After Cao Cao made such a fuss, there was no chance of building Tianlu Toad and Sifang Bronze Man.
But eunuchs...
There is no place to make money here, so naturally we have to find ways to make money elsewhere... But it just happens.
"no!"
Zhang Rang thought for a long time and finally waved his hand...
"What? Zhang Changshi... doesn't want to touch this money?" Zhao Zhong asked in confusion...
It was too easy for the eunuchs to use this money. Even though the chief minister was Cao Song, Cao Song was only responsible for the money coming out of the treasury, but specifically... it was sent to various states and counties, and to each county... all at once.
Among the levels of Tao, which level...doesn't have people from their eunuch family?
It's very easy to exploit someone with a clever name.
But...
"No!" Zhang Rang still opened his mouth with great determination. "The money for the placement of the Montenegrin Army was obtained by Liu Yu for the Montenegrin Army...Other people say that they are greedy for ink, but he can't..."
Hiss...this...
Zhao Zhong rolled his eyes, "Are you worried..."
Before Zhao Zhong could finish speaking, Zhang Rang said first: "Don't forget how the Yuan family in Runan played a good hand with a bad hand! We still say the same thing, we are not afraid of offending others, but this Liu Yu
