Chapter 74: On the day of the month, the sword forced Xu Shao
Chapter 74: The sword review on the first day of the month forces Xu Shao
Liu Zhang didn't know how great a person's hatred could be, but Jian Tu was dead. One night, Jian Tu was invited out for a drink. On the way home, he was arrested by Cao Cao for violating the curfew and carrying weapons.
He arrived at the Lieutenant's office in the north of Luoyang. Before dawn, Jian Shuo got the news that Jian Tu had been beaten to death with a cane.
Cao Cao's reputation has soared, and to what extent it has risen, everyone in Luoyang knows it. However, just because his reputation has soared, the people in power in Luoyang dare not keep him. Of course, this is also to protect Cao Cao. After all,
Cao Cao's grandfather often served Cao Teng, and he had a good reputation in the palace. Even Zhang Rang and other talents received Cao Teng's help when they entered the palace. Otherwise, there were so many officials in Luoyang, why would Jian Shuo ask Cao Cao for help!
Cao Cao had received so many benefits, so naturally he would not forget Liu Zhang. In addition to that drinking session, Cao Cao actually let Liu Zhang go, which made Liu Zhang despise him for a while. In order to make up for Liu Zhang's mental trauma, the unlucky Cao Cao went out several times.
It took blood to make Liu Zhang let him go.
On this day, Liu Zhang was invited by Cao Cao to Mianyue Tower again. After arriving, he heard from his subordinates that Cao Cao suddenly had something to do and would be late. Liu Zhang didn't care whether Cao Cao came or not. Anyway, someone was treating him to a drink. If he didn't eat, he would get nothing!
After ordering a table of dishes, Liu Zhang and Shi A drank slowly while waiting for Cao Cao. I just didn't know if Cao Cao would feel distressed when he saw this table of dishes.
"Why are you still eating here...ah!" The door to the private room was pushed open with a bang, and Shi A pulled out a long sword from his waist and pointed it at the incoming person as if by conditioned reflex.
"Shi Ah, don't be excited, it's Cao Cao!" Liu Zhang took a closer look and found that it was Cao Cao who broke in. However, his face was already green because Shi Ah's long sword was pressed against his neck. If it were
Half an inch further and it stabbed into his throat.
After pushing away Shi'a's long sword, Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Brother Shi'a, you want to kill me."
"Who told you to barge in suddenly! As a member of a noble family, you can't even knock on the door!" Shi Ah put the sword into its sheath with a sound, picked up a chicken drumstick in his left hand and started chewing.
Cao Cao was confused. In order to change the subject, Liu Zhang quickly smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, what are you doing in such a hurry? I have been waiting for you for a long time, come and have a drink!"
When Liu Zhang said this, Cao Cao immediately remembered his original intention. He shouted excitedly: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me! Why are you still in the mood to drink here? Come with me quickly!"
"What happened again?" Seeing Cao Cao's anxious look, Liu Zhang was a little amused. This traitor, who was praised by the world, was actually still irritable now.
"What's the matter?" A drop of cold sweat dripped from Cao Cao's forehead, and he asked with some confusion: "You don't even know about Yuedan Ping, do you?"
"What is the Yuedan Criticism?" Liu Zhang really didn't know the Yuedan Criticism. Not to mention that he had been busy since he came to Luoyang. Even if he knew the Yuedan Criticism, he would not ask Xu Shao to criticize him. Maybe some of them were weak.
People need to gain fame through such a platform, but Liu Zhang has already established boundless domineering power through his own hands.
Cao Cao explained to Liu Zhang the monthly commentary with a depressed look on his face. It turned out to be a monthly commentary created by the celebrity Xu Shao to give some talented people a chance to get ahead. However, Liu Zhang knew very well that Xu Shao was from a wealthy family.
It's just a way to gain fame.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, seeing that Liu Zhang was not interested, he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you not going to go?"
"What are you doing here for such a boring thing?" Liu Zhang poured a glass of wine and said, "It's better to drink here!"
"You..." Cao Cao really couldn't believe that there are still people who don't care about Xu Shao's evaluation. You know, everyone who is praised by Xu Shao will receive great benefits.
Seeing Cao Cao struggling at the side, Liu Zhang smiled and asked: "Brother Meng De, don't you also want Xu Shao's comments?"
"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed and said: "Who can be like the champion and ignore Xu Shao, a famous person who is famous all over the world? To tell you the truth, I often bring generous gifts to ask to see Xu Shao, but he never Just give me a few words."
Liu Zhang finished chewing a chicken leg and threw it away: "I'll give you an idea. You can see Xu Shao today and get a comment from him. It depends on whether you dare to do what I say!"
"Are you serious?" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly showed a trace of desire!
"Why did you lie to me?" Liu Zhang said with a smile, "I was afraid that you wouldn't dare to do it!"
"If I can get Xu Shao's comment, I will be very grateful!" Cao Cao stared at Liu Zhang, his eyes full of heat.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My brother, how can I say thank you? If it succeeds, you can treat me to a restaurant for a month!"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang speechless for a while, why did the champion seem to be reincarnated as a starved ghost. However, because of Xu Shao's evaluation, Cao Cao agreed. After Liu Zhang whispered in Cao Cao's ear for a long time, he asked the waiter to bring a piece of paper and write it on the There was a sentence written on the paper, instructing Cao Cao to get Xu Shao's comments before opening the paper and reading it.
To be honest, Cao Cao is not optimistic about Liu Zhang's plan. Celebrities all have their own arrogance. If Xu Shao can evaluate him just by threatening him, this evaluation is too low. But Cao Cao knows that Liu Zhang never does anything he is not sure of. , since he said this, there must be a reason for him. Cao Cao gritted his teeth and decided that Xu Shao would not treat him anyway, and he would become a living doctor!
After Cao Cao left, Shi A asked: "Sir, if you let Cao Cao threaten Xu Shao, what else did you write to him?"
"I just wrote a sentence to scare Cao Cao and Xu Shao!" After Liu Zhang finished speaking, an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shi A was just curious. Seeing Liu Zhang's evil smile, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. As Liu Zhang's subordinate, he knew very well how evil this young master was!
Cao Cao felt anxious and came to the place where Xu Shao was doing the Lunar New Year Review. Although there was no one holding the door, no one dared to go in. Cao Cao walked to the door and asked the concierge to inform him first, but the concierge did not let him know at all. In his eyes, Cao Cao sighed. Since the other party didn't take him seriously, there was no need for him to be a grandson. He suddenly raised his feet. While everyone was dumbfounded, Cao Cao kicked open Xu Shao's door and walked away boldly. After entering, looking at Cao Cao with his hand on the hilt of his sword, not to mention the concierge and Xu Shao's guards, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Seeing Cao Cao intruding with his head high, Xu Shao's eyes flashed. The person who was being criticized by Xu Shao suddenly jumped out. Cao Cao was a dandy, and he had practiced martial arts for a period of time. With just one kick, he would kill anyone who blocked his way. Kicked away. Seeing Cao Cao striding over, Xu Shao narrowed his eyes and asked: "You... what do you want to do?"
"I, Chen Liu, Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Meng De, have come here to ask you, sir, to give me a review!" Cao Cao asked coldly, "I wonder what your opinion is, sir?"
"Criticism is my specialty, so there is no problem, but you have to follow the rules!" Seeing that Cao Cao wanted to ask for something, Xu Shao naturally started to show off.
"Really?" Cao Cao pulled out the Heavenly Sword from his waist with a sound, put it on Xu Shao's neck and said, "You must follow my rules today, otherwise you will never be able to criticize others again in your life!"
The sword pressed gently on Xu Shao's neck, and a trace of bright red could already be seen. Xu Shao felt the chill on his neck, and finally understood that Cao Cao was not joking. He glanced at Cao Cao and said: "You can rule the world with capable ministers, and you can rule in troubled times."
Hero!"
Finally got Xu Shao's comment, but Cao Cao, who should have been happy, had a bitter look on his face. Once upon a time, he longed for Xu Shao's comment. But now he felt that Xu Shao was nothing more than that. How could a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death have the right to treat Xu Shao's comments?
Do you judge by yourself? Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Cao Cao suddenly remembered the note Liu Zhang left for him. He smiled and said to Xu Shao: "A friend asked me to give it to you!"
Xu Shao doubtfully took the note from Cao Cao's hand and opened it, and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Cao Cao didn't know what was going on, so he took the note from Xu Shao's hand and was stunned immediately. He saw clearly written on the note.
: Xu Zijiang was coerced by Cao Cao and commented on him: "You are a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times!"
"This...how is this possible?" Xu Shao was a little dazed, and Cao Cao was completely shocked.
Cao Cao didn't know how he got out of Xu Shao's place. When he returned to Mianyue Tower, Liu Zhang had already eaten and drank enough and left with Shi A. Of course, Liu Zhang left, but he left a portion for Cao Cao.
The bill, and the charges on the bill made Cao Cao dumbfounded.
Since Yuedan's comment passed, Cao Cao visited Liu Zhang more and more frequently. He wanted to know how Liu Zhang could tell Xu Shao's comment to him before Xu Shao. However, this was Liu Zhang's secret, not to mention Cao Cao's.
He didn't intend to tell his future enemies, even Liu Zhang's relatives. So Liu Zhang began to avoid Cao Cao! But Cao Cao's perseverance made Liu Zhang understand why he was able to get ahead in the late Han Dynasty. This guy was so capable.
He was so entangled that Liu Zhang was so scared that he didn't dare to leave the house. Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't pester Liu Zhang for a long time, because the children of the Luoyang family who Cao Cao set up the Five-Colored Stick to Repair were too ruthless, and the eunuchs wanted to protect Cao Cao, so on both sides
Under pressure, Cao Cao was promoted to Dunqiu Ling and was directly driven out of Luoyang.
After Cao Cao left, Liu Zhang returned to his usual leisurely life. But without Cao Cao, he actually felt very bored. In order to kill the boredom, Liu Zhang started to make trouble for the Yuan family again. However, brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao could not afford to offend him, but they still avoided it.
Can't you afford it? Yuan Shu went back to Runan directly, and Yuan Shao ran back to Bohai. As for the other children of the aristocratic families, they can hide and run, but they can't. They go back to their local areas to bully men and women, and Liu Zhang is always not good
Chase after.
The bored Liu Zhang could only stay in the military camp in the end, training the new soldiers to death with Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun. However, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, who were sent by Cao Cao to study, could not last even a month and had to stand in the boring army.
Under the pressure of walking left and right, they left the Mangshan military camp. When they discovered the benefits of Liu Zhang's military training method, the two of them regretted it, but there was no regret in the world about selling medicine!
