Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: ""About Drinking" is one of the themes of Yuefu poems, but it is a theme of persuading people to drink, so it is not easy to write."
Lu Xuan chuckled and read directly.
"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea never to return. Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening."
As soon as the first four sentences came out, Cao Cao suddenly changed his color.
What a poem!
Cao Cao's eyes were extremely bright.
He is a master in this field and has his own experience in writing poems. The opening four sentences of Lu Xuan's poem "About to Enter the Wine" are majestic and majestic, like a river rushing in, which makes people admire.
Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai also stared at Lu Xuan.
They all know Lu Xuan's poetic talent.
This time, after seeing it with my own eyes and seeing Lu Xuan reciting poems, I felt even more excited.
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun. Don't let the gold bottle empty to face the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful. I will come back after all the gold is spent. I am happy to cook sheep and slaughter cattle, but I have to drink three hundred cups at a time."
Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head, looking delighted.
My talents are destined to be useful.
well said.
Cao Cao was a little drunk, and he was more emotional at this time. Especially he was very good at poetry and Fu. At this moment, looking at Lu Xuan, he was no longer a son-in-law, no longer a prince, he just saw
A kindred spirit.
"Cao Shijun, Xun Liu is fragrant. When you drink wine, don't stop drinking. I will sing a song with you. Please listen to me."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan, who was getting more and more excited, and chuckled.
He is Cao Shijun.
Xun Liuxiang is Xun Yu. Because Xun Yu liked incense and always had a scent on his body, some people called him Liu Xiang.
This is excellent.
Lu Xuan's persuasion to drink made Cao Cao stroke his beard and look at Lu Xuan expectantly.
"The bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time. In ancient times, the sages were lonely, and only the drinkers left their names. How can I enter the old days when there was a banquet, and thousands of people drank and drank. How can the master say that he has little money?
It’s up to you to decide what to sell.”
Cao Cao listened to another paragraph with approval in his eyes.
When He Jin was in power, he trained troops and trained generals in Pingguang. In fact, he drank and had fun with the generals.
This kind of transformation is also possible.
Lu Xuansong read to the end and said loudly: "The five-flowered horse, the golden fur, the call will be exchanged for the fine wine, and I will sell the eternal sorrow with you."
The sound is elongated and persistent.
There was silence in the hall.
"Okay, great!"
Xiahou Dun spoke first.
Although he was a rough old man, he was also well-educated and praised: "I, Xiahou Dun, have always admired talented people, Mr. Lu, and my promise is absolutely valid."
Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun and scolded: "Yuan Rang, I asked you to study more on weekdays, but you don't study. When the critical moment comes, you will say yes, it's really good. The poems of the virtuous son-in-law are as grand as the big rivers. The emotions are as wild as the rivers.
The ocean is as if the Milky Way has fallen into the sky. The poem "About to Enter the Wine" written by the wise son-in-law is so excellent that I am ashamed of myself."
Lu Xuan looked modest and said sincerely: "My father-in-law praised me very much. The great ambitions contained in my father-in-law's poem "During Wine" are beyond my reach."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, quite proudly, and said: "You are too humble."
Lu Xuan said: "I am telling the truth."
In terms of talent, Cao Cao would have beaten him ten times, but he was just a copycat, just a revisionist.
Cao Cao is truly talented.
He is very different from Cao Cao and there is no comparison.
Lu Xuan changed the topic and asked: "Father-in-law, I have drunk so much wine that I am almost done. If I drink more, I will get drunk. Let's get back to the topic, we will send troops to attack Lu Bu tomorrow. Once we send troops, Lu Bu will attack immediately. When the two sides fight, my father-in-law plans to
How to fight?"
Cao Cao held his head high and said confidently: "Before you came, we just discussed this matter. In the first battle, we must show momentum and power. Therefore, I will dispatch Qingzhou soldiers to defeat Lu Bu's elite in one battle."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly and advised: "Lu Bu is not weak. He is very powerful in surprise attacks. You still have to be cautious."
Cao Cao said confidently: "Lü Bu is not weak, but we have also fought against Lu Bu. In the past, with the help of a mob, I was able to fight Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. Now, my Qingzhou soldiers defeated Yuan Shu and defeated Tao Qian.
If you are invincible, you will definitely win every battle."
Xiahou Dun was full of fighting spirit and said: "Lu Xuan, watch the first battle with Lu Bu tomorrow and see how powerful our Qingzhou soldiers are. We are grateful that you come to help this time. But our Qingzhou elites, even if Lu Bu is good at fighting, we can't
Don’t be afraid.”
Xia Houyuan smiled and said: "Lü Bu was kicked out by Li Jue and Guo Bang. It is not surprising for such a person."
Everyone is very confident.
Lu Xuan saw it in his eyes, thought about it in his heart, and did not continue to remind him.
He remembered that in history, the first battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was defeated by Lu Bu's cavalry.
At that time, the soldiers of Qingzhou fled, and Cao Cao fled in a panic. He fell off his horse and was injured, and his left hand was burned. Thanks to the army commander Ma Louyi who rescued Cao Cao, he mounted his horse again and fled, escaping Lu Bu's pursuit.
However, Cao Cao was a master of using troops and quickly gathered the scattered soldiers and horses and continued to fight Lu Bu.
At present, Cao Cao and others are extremely confident, and Lu Xuan's continued persuasion is useless.
Cao Cao has almost never lost a battle in these years. Both Cao Cao and the people under Cao Cao believe in their own strength and the combat effectiveness of Qingzhou soldiers.
So, I can’t persuade you.
Lu Xuan didn't argue because he couldn't persuade him. What's more, if Cao Cao was slightly defeated, it would be more beneficial to Lu Xuan. After all, after Lu Xuan rescued Cao Cao, when interests were involved later, Lu Xuan could make better arrangements.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "In that case, I will listen to my father-in-law. The troops under my command will be temporarily hidden to avoid leaking their whereabouts. At the critical moment, it can have the effect of raiding Lu Bu."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "You can arrange the elites under your command by yourself."
Cao Cao no longer had much interest in drinking, so he ended the banquet and asked people to take Lu Xuan to the military camp to rest. The generals also went to mobilize their troops and make arrangements.
In the hall, only Cao Ang, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhi remained.
Cao Cao glanced at several people and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan said that he was for the cavalry and Lu Bu's generals. Do you think that is true?"
"should be!"
Xun Yu nodded and answered.
His eyes were bright and he said: "I have observed Lu Xuan carefully in my humble position. This man is capable, adaptable, thick-skinned, thoughtful and sinister. Such a person also understands the current situation, and stability in Yanzhou is beneficial to him."
Cheng Yu said: "It is essential to be on guard against others. In short, we still have to be on guard against Lu Xuan."
Xi Zhicai's eyes were wise and he said: "Lord, we have been talking with Lu Xuan, and we all talk about how Yanzhou is. This time, Lu Xuan brought more than 8,000 people, and the force under his command was far more than that.
.So when he enters Yanzhou, will there be another battlefield?"
The pupils in Cao Cao's eyes shrank, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he asked: "Zhicai means Xuzhou?"
"yes!"
Xi Zhicai nodded and answered.
Xun Yu also came to his senses and said, "I didn't expect it just now. Once Zhicai said it, it was really possible."
Xun You took the words and analyzed: "Once Lu Xuan's people attack Xuzhou, we can't stop it. However, Xuzhou has Liu Bei, and it will not be easy for Lu Xuan to capture it. We are now too busy to control the situation in Xuzhou. We can stop Lu Xuan's arrangements.
No."
Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and ordered: "Zhicai, please arrange for someone to pay more attention to the situation in Xuzhou. Let's wait and see how it changes. Our first task is still to destroy Lu Bu first and recapture Yanzhou."
"Here!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You and Cheng Yu retreated, leaving only Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son.
Cao Cao looked at his son and educated him again.
His son should not be too simple, he should have the means to reconcile with the city. After some education, Cao Cao let Cao Ang leave. Cao Cao stayed alone in the house, thinking about this war.
In the evening, Cao Cao walked towards his military camp and inspected the camp on a daily basis. He inspected the camp a lot, and when he was about to return to the Prefectural Mufu with Xi Zhicai, he suddenly said: "Zhicai, let's go to Lu Xuan's camp.
What do you think?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "My lord, is your plan to see Lu Xuan's military discipline?"
Cao Cao said: "Listen to his words and watch his actions. After listening to Lu Xuan's words, you must also watch the words and deeds of his soldiers. So, take a look before talking."
Xi Zhicai said: "My lord is right."
"Let's go."
Cao Cao looked a little anxious. He took his guards Dian Wei and Xi Zhicai and walked towards Lu Xuan's camp. It didn't take long before he arrived outside Lu Xuan's military camp.
From the outside, the military camp looks very tight.
Military discipline is strict.
But Cao Cao was standing outside the camp and vaguely seemed to hear the sound of reading coming from the camp.
