184, thick-faced, black-hearted, two wins of three games
Chen Yuan reviewed Cheng Yu's information in his mind to see how Xu Zi would respond.
Xu Zijiang glanced at Cao Cao and then at Cheng Yu.
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't speak.
I don’t know if I really don’t want to say it, or if I just can’t say it.
Cao Cao is still young and has a bit of a violent temper.
Seeing that Xu Zijiang still didn't say anything, he repeated his old trick: "If Mr. Zijiang doesn't say anything, then don't blame him for going in and killing someone."
Yes, Cao Cao said the same thing when he pointed his sword at Xu Zijiang.
If Xu Zijiang doesn't criticize him, he will kill someone.
This move is in line with Cao Cao's character.
Because Cao Cao was indeed a bit of a scoundrel when he was young.
Just like when he punished his uncle.
When Cao Cao was young, he was "like a flying eagle and a lackey, wandering around without restraint".
His uncle couldn't stand it anymore and often reminded Cao Song that he should discipline his son.
When Cao Cao found out, he came up with a clever idea to deal with his nosy uncle.
One day, Cao Cao saw his uncle coming from a distance, and immediately made a crooked mouth.
When my uncle asked him why, he replied that he had a sudden stroke.
The uncle immediately went to report to Cao Cao.
When Cao Song called Cao Cao over to take a look, nothing happened.
Cao Cao took the opportunity to say, "How can I have a stroke? It's just because my uncle doesn't like me that he speaks ill of me."
With such a "Wolf Crying" story at the bottom, naturally Cao Song would not believe anything his uncle said about Cao Cao in the future, and Cao Cao would act even more mischievously.
From this story, we can see that Cao Cao has been cunning and cunning since he was a child, and he has quite a rogue temperament.
This is not only true of Cao Cao, but also of Liu Bei.
Even Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, also had it.
For example, Sun Jian followed this path when he killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou.
To put it nicely, it means that those who achieve great things are careless about trivial matters; to put it worst, it means that they are too narrow-minded.
What Cao Cao said did not anger Xu Zijiang, but made Chen Yuan unhappy.
I have no problem with Cao Mengde asking Xu Zijiang to speak, but I don't agree with you saying you want to kill people.
Don't think that Cao Cao can't do it, he really can.
You know, Cao Cao has a bad habit of massacring cities.
"In the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao attacked Qian... and slaughtered them all. Juling and Xiaqiu were all slaughtered. Hundreds of thousands of men and women were killed, and no chickens or dogs were left. The Si River was not flowing, and it was naturally the protection of the five counties. There was no one left.
Retrace your steps."
This was Cao Cao's first large-scale massacre of a city, and he massacred Xuzhou.
In the first year of Xingping (194), when Cao Cao led troops to attack Tao Qian, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled against Cao and welcomed Lv Bu as the shepherd of Yanzhou. Later, Cao Cao defeated Lv Bu, and Zhang Miao fled with Lv Bu, leaving Zhang Chao and his family to guard.
Yongqiu. Cao Cao besieged Yongqiu for several months, captured and massacred the city, and killed Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao's family (Taizu besieged and slaughtered them for several months).
This was Cao Cao's second large-scale massacre of a city.
After Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou, he fled to Xuzhou, and Liu Bei, who led Xuzhou, took him in. But later, Lu Bu took advantage of Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's attack to capture Xuzhou. In 198 AD, Cao Cao conquered Lu Bu and captured it in October.
In Pengcheng, Cao Cao ordered the massacre of the city (in September, Gongdong Zhengbu. In winter, in October, Pengcheng was massacred).
This is the third time.
After Yuan Shao died of illness, brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought among themselves. In 204 AD, Cao Cao launched a large-scale attack on Ye City, which was the core of Jizhou. Shen Pei held on for several months, and Cao's army fought very hard. In the end, Cao Cao defeated Ye City. Cao Cao massacred Ye City.
It was a matter of course.
It was the fourth time that Yecheng was massacred.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Wuhuan, and Wuhuan and the Yuan brothers fought against Cao Cao. In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan in the north. In Liucheng, he killed Tadun and more than ten people below the famous king, and captured more than 200,000 people.
The city was massacred. The Yuan brothers fled to Liaodong. Gongsun Kang, the governor of Liaodong, beheaded Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi and gave them to Cao Cao.
Later generations also wrote a poem "Slaughter of Liu City" to praise Cao Cao's achievements in this battle.
This is the fifth time.
Of course, among the five massacres of the city, there is nothing to say about the fifth massacre of Liucheng. If you are not of my race, your intentions must be different.
These Wuhuan people deserve to be killed.
However, those who were massacred in the first four times were all Chinese people, and the total number of people massacred in the four times was no less than one million.
This does not include the surrendered people who were killed by Cao Cao, which numbered nearly 100,000.
So human life is worthless to Cao Cao.
It couldn't be easier to kill someone.
This was one of the reasons why Chen Yuan did not choose Cao Cao in the first place.
When Cao Cao slaughtered the city, he couldn't help it.
Cao Cao could tolerate Chen Yuan's offense once or twice, but if it happened too many times, Chen Yuan would only die.
How about Xun?
He can be called Cao Cao's collaborator, and he is also the biggest contributor to Cao Cao's stabilization of the rear. In the end, he did not commit suicide.
Chen Yuan didn't realize that he could be more important than Xun.
Therefore, when Cao Cao said this, Chen Yuan stood up directly.
Chen Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Meng De is so majestic. He kills people when he says they will!"
Cao Cao was forcing Xu Zijiang at this time, and he didn't care who said what.
He casually said: "Why don't we kill just ordinary people?"
Chen Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted sternly: "Cao Mengde, kill one of you and let me see!"
Only then did Cao Cao realize that something was wrong. He turned around and immediately recognized Chen Yuan.
The two met each other when they were in Luoyang.
When Cao Cao saw it was Chen Yuan, his expression suddenly changed.
Chen Yuan is no longer the most important minister in Jingzhou now as he was back then. In a sense, he can represent Liu Bei.
And Cao Cao is now just the Prime Minister of Jinan, which is equivalent to the governor of a county.
There is still some gap compared with Chen Yuan.
However, Cao Cao was a man who could stretch and bend, and Chen Yuan was amazed by how quickly his expression changed.
Cao Cao laughed, put away his sword, and said to Chen Yuando: "Why is Zichu so nervous? Cao Cao was just joking with Mr. Zijiang. Don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
With that said, Cao Cao filled another glass of wine and said to Chen Yuandao: "Zichu, Cao Cao has no scruples in his words and deeds. I am punished by three drinks. Please forgive me."
As he said that, Cao Cao drank three glasses of wine, and that was all.
Chen Yuan looked at Cao Cao's actions and felt helpless in his heart.
In any case, Cao Cao was also the prime minister of Jinan with two thousand dan, and the power behind him was not small. For this reason, it would be unjustifiable for Chen Yuan to force him.
Therefore, Chen Yuan could only say: "I hope Mengde will commit less murderous crimes in the future, otherwise he may bring disaster to future generations."
Chen Yuan's words were not without purpose. Cao Cao's first massacre of Xuzhou had a hugely serious consequence and established a lifelong enemy for Cao Wei, that is, Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was still young at that time, but he witnessed Cao Cao massacre Xuzhou.
Originally, his uncle took him to Yuzhang to take up his post, but the position of Yuzhang's governor was taken by someone else, so they stayed in Xuzhou for a while. During this period, they happened to encounter Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou.
His uncle took him to Jingzhou.
Do you think Zhuge Liang can have a good impression of Cao Cao?
This is probably not one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel dissatisfied after listening to Chen Yuan's lecturing words.
However, Cao Cao was a man of wealth, and he had a smile on his face: "What Zichu said is that Cao Cao will definitely correct it in the future."
Chen Yuan knew that Cao Cao was perfunctory with him, but he didn't say anything anymore.
After all, Cao Cao was an official worth two thousand dan, so Chen Yuan was naturally not qualified to teach him a lesson.
Being interrupted by Chen Yuan, it was natural that Cao Cao could no longer force Xu Zijiang.
Xu Zijiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zijiang does have some abilities, because his soul skill is called Fuyan.
What are talismans?
Every speech must be verified, and it must be in compliance with the contract, hence the name.
Where did this stunt come from?
Comes from Guiguzi Fuyan Chapter.
The best at observing people.
One is called long eyes, the second is called flying ears, and the third is called bright trees. Knowing clearly thousands of miles away and being hidden in the dark is called the traitor in the world, and everyone is familiar with changes.
Therefore, Xu Zijiang has actually seen Cheng Yu's character.
He is upright and full of violence, and he will do whatever it takes to be loyal and loyal.
Such people can be cruel officials.
This is naturally inconsistent with Xu Zijiang's character, but Xu Zijiang does not want to offend others for no reason, so Xu Zijiang can only remain silent.
After Xu Zijiang breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly turned the topic to Chen Yuan.
I saw Xu Zijiang pretending to be Shi Shiran and said: "I wonder if you can give me some advice if you come here. Is it possible that I also want Shao to comment?"
When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately curled his lips and commented.
If I ask you to evaluate me, wouldn’t it mean that I am born shorter than you? Then why are we holding Jingzhou’s Debate Conference and Martial Arts Conference?
Didn’t they all make wedding clothes for you?
Once the news spreads and Xu Zijiang evaluates it, Xu Zijiang's reputation will definitely rise to the next level.
This right to speak was once again taken away by a powerful family.
The issue of the right to speak is naturally not negotiable.
Chen Yuan naturally couldn't let Xu Zijiang evaluate him, and he also wanted to ruin Xu Zijiang's evaluation on this first day of the month.
In fact, it was a good opportunity for Cao Cao to force Xu Zijiang with his sword just now.
However, Chen Yuan definitely could not tolerate Cao Cao being so unbridled and arrogant, and would always use the excuse of killing to force others.
I, Jingzhou, will not tolerate you.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "I have always heard that Mr. Zijiang's skill in observing people is unparalleled and can identify the world's talents. I came here to appreciate Mr. Jiang's skill in observing people and learn a few things so that I, Jingzhou, can
Ye Wuyi Xian."
Chen Yuan first held Xu Zijiang up with one hand. The higher he held him, the more painful the fall.
When Xu Zijiang heard what Chen Yuan said, he couldn't help but feel happy.
But before he could say a few words of humility, Chen Yuan spoke again: "Secondly, Yuan also knows a little about the art of observing people. I would like to discuss it with you in order to gain some benefit. What do you think, sir?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zijiang was immediately stopped.
Don't agree. Chen Yuan praised himself so highly just now. If you don't agree, wouldn't it be directly ruined?
Agree, I really don’t know Chen Yuan’s level. If he loses, it will really be over.
Xu Zijiang was in a dilemma for a while.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Xu Zijiang's ears: "Mr. Zijiang promised him that Chen Yuan is only a young man. Even if he has some skills in observing people, he will definitely not be able to defeat you. Why should you hesitate!"
"
The person who conveyed the message used the Confucian secret technique, golden sound and jade vibration.
Beginners can spread their voices ten miles.
After entering the country a little, the sound can spread hundreds of miles.
The sound of those who enter the hall can be heard thousands of miles away.
It is said that once Confucius spoke, his voice spread across all nine states, and his power was so great.
However, this secret technique is not only difficult to learn, but also difficult to master. There are very few people today who can spread their voice hundreds of miles, let alone thousands of miles.
The person who conveyed the message to Xu Zijiang was none other than Cai Mao. This guy was currently in a house not far from Linjiang Pavilion.
There is a tall building in this house called Wangjiang Tower, which is much taller than Linjiang Pavilion.
Therefore, Cai Mao could see what was happening on the fifth floor of Linjiang Pavilion, and could also hear the sounds in Linjiang Pavilion.
This all stems from the copper bell hanging on the fifth floor of Linjiang Pavilion.
There are copper bells hung on the eaves of each floor of Linjiang Pavilion. When the wind blows, the bells can ring out sweetly.
This copper bell has a name called the Wind Sound Bronze Bell.
Originally there was no sound transmission effect, but the Cai family added a secret golden sound and jade vibration to the copper bell.
Therefore, not only can sound be transmitted, but Cai Hao can also hear the sounds in Linjiang Pavilion.
Cai relied on Linjiang Pavilion to obtain some confidential information, but because Cai kept it secret, no one knew about it.
Xu Zijiang was convinced after hearing Cai Mao's words.
Yes, this Chen Yuan is just a young man. He has some ability to observe people. If he competes with himself, isn't he asking for trouble!
Xu Zijiang smiled: "Do you really want to compete with me in the art of observing people?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Mr. Zijiang is serious, it's not a competition, it's just a discussion, it's just a discussion.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Didn't Confucius once said that there are bandits and gentlemen who are like fighting with each other, grinding like grinding, this is a gentleman
Why did Mr. Zijiang say that he was like a brave man fighting ruthlessly?"
Xu Zijiang accidentally caught the loophole in his words and directly reduced himself to a brave man by Chen Yuan. It seemed that the person who came here was evil.
However, Xu Zijiang is a person who has seen the world after all. His expression remains unchanged and he remains calm: "What Biejia said is true. Shao made a mistake. I don't know how to compare?"
Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Well, let's see three people together. One person will be appointed by me, one will be appointed by sir, and one person will be appointed by all the wise men here. What do you think, sir?"
Chen Yuan's suggestion was fair and just and took care of everyone's face. Not only did Xu Zijiang have nothing to say, but the people present also had nothing to say. They all said: "Don't use this to say good things, we think it is very fair."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xu Zijiang naturally had nothing to say: "In this case, I will follow what you said."
Seeing that Xu Zijiang agreed.
Chen Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, since he agreed, you will definitely lose.
Because Chen Yuan will definitely appoint Tai Shici.
Historically, Xu Zijiang judged Taishi Ci as a failure.
This round is a sure win.
Even if he loses to the person appointed by Xu Zijiang, Chen Yuan is more sure of winning than the person appointed by everyone jointly than Xu Zijiang.
Chen Yuan said: "In that case, let's get started. Let me first appoint a candidate."
Xu Zijiang didn't refuse, it didn't matter who came first and who came last.
Xu Zijiang thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the people present: "I will appoint this talented person."
