A poem, Cai Gong happened to be away at that time... I will read it to you... Yuan Dong was divided into disputes. He moved the capital to Chang'an and missed his return. He looked sadly at Hebei. He dreamed of Gongsun's return!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, even Ma Teng, a big old man, couldn't stop laughing... This poem is so straightforward.

"Actually, I'm just drunk today, so I took the opportunity to say something drunk." After laughing, Cai Bojie suddenly sighed again. "I know something about Kong Wenju's appearance. Before Dong Zhuo's chaos, I actually

I am no different from him, but I feel that I live in this world and have no talent. Why don't the kings use me, but those villains? So I keep complaining on weekdays, but I just want to get an appointment... and I don't bribe to get an official.

, there is no selling out to friends...selling out the old for glory, it seems a little rude, why should you laugh at him?"

"It's different." Huangfu Song continued to shake his head. "It is said that ministers are like beauties, and monarchs are like libertines. Therefore, all literati have the heart to resent their wives, but there is a difference between resenting women and resenting women... When Emperor Ling was in the dynasty,

Although Cai Gong complained, he was basically able to say something meaningful. Who can say that your advice back then was wrong? As for Kong Wenju, it’s okay to lose his temper on the Tongque platform today, but he said it in the daytime.

Those words mean that Duke Yan is magnanimous. If it were someone else, he might just chop down the sacrificial flag in the name of chaos!"

"That's right." Wei Song suddenly spoke solemnly. "It's fine if those young people have little experience and can't understand. We, the old people, have been treating chaos, and then treating chaos. Don't we still know what is going on in this world?

Is it the most precious thing? What is the favor of the monarch, what is the struggle for hegemony, what is the bureaucracy, what is the ethics of classics, what is the final goal? Isn’t it just to be able to seek peace and tranquility in every corner of the world, just like Yexia today?

? It has taken decades and many wars to show how valuable it is today... Kong Wenju was arrogant in front and respectful in the back, we just laughed at it; but what he said during the military parade today is so extravagant, the South may not be able to defeat the North, I am indeed a little bit

angry!"

"Wei Gong has hit the point." Before Cai Yong could say anything, Ma Teng immediately followed and sighed. "When I was in a place like Xiliang, why did I have to use weapons? Isn't it because I couldn't survive?

?If we could have today's peace and tranquility, who would be upset? The surrender that day was due to the strong soldiers and strong horses of Duke Yan, but I still don't understand how Duke Yan could reach this point with a few soldiers and strong horses in western Liaoning. When he arrived at Ye, although he still couldn't tell Duke Wei

He said such great truths, but he had already fully realized it in his heart, and all thoughts were gone."

At this point, Ma Teng may have felt that he had made a mistake, so he put down the wooden sign and bowed with his hands in his hands: "I was half drunk today, and the warm wind blew me up, so I said a few words from my heart. Don't be surprised."

"On the most evil day of the Dragon Boat Festival, we should be so unbridled. It is the most rare thing for friends to communicate with each other and to be honest with each other!" Cai Yong waved to him. "What do you need to care about?"

"Don't worry about what you say!" Huangfu Song raised his head and laughed. "Weren't you the one who persuaded Duke Yan to marry his daughter to the emperor? And after Mrs. Cai gave Duke Yan a daughter, I heard that for many years

You won’t mention this matter.”

Cai Bojie's face turned red for a moment, but before he could speak, Huangfu Yizhen suddenly felt sad: "It's nothing else, but it's a pity for Liu Bo'an!"

The table was silent for a moment.

"Let's see!" After a while, Wei Song shook his head. "I have lived in Hebei for decades and have never seen how smart the emperor is. But today's situation cannot be blamed on Duke Yan, right?"

"Yes, it's rare to have some unbridled fun on the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's not talk about this." Huangfu Song also shook his head repeatedly. "We are a bunch of old people, having fun... There are so many new things in the army, what can't be done?"

Several people were relieved immediately, but continued to play cards and talk about the one-year-old son that Mrs. Bian gave birth to to Gongsun Xun, his eldest daughter, General Dong Zhao, and the future of each family's heirs.

From Sima Yi's forcible promotion of the title to join the army, to the fight before Yexia University... However, after all the talk, in the end, he still couldn't escape the battle in front of him!

"Mr. Huangfu, you are a long-time general of the country. I am a loyal general. All the generals in my army have asked you to lecture on the art of war many times. Please tell me frankly, how will this battle be?" Wei Song frowned at each other.

"What can we do?" Huangfu Song said nonchalantly while playing cards. "No one can say for sure the outcome of such a war. It's just that Duke Yan has always been good at fighting, so an extra point counts. But the current situation in Hebei is...

Even if we lose, we will not be in danger of overthrowing, but if we win, we will annex the Central Plains! Why, Wei Gong has lived in Hebei for a long time, why do you have doubts?"

"That's it." Wei Song turned around in relief and looked at a high-spirited young man in blue shirt at the table next to him. "Actually, today it's not just Kong Wenju who said that reviewing troops and horses is a bit 'frivolous', I, a student, am here today.

The word 'floating' was also mentioned during the military parade, but it was later than what Kong Wenju said, and he didn't say it until the middle of the military parade. As a student, I don't usually make big talk, so I couldn't help but feel a little flustered for a moment."

When the young man in green shirt heard the words, he immediately stood up and bowed under the lantern to salute, which caused the other students around him who had been listening to the secret for a long time to look sideways and unconvinced - with such a strong army and horses, how could it be vain?

"What's your name?" Huangfu Song continued playing cards and asked without looking up.

"Boy Langya Zhuge Liang." The young man in green shirt, Zhuge Liang who had been silent all night, immediately bowed his head again.

"Good eyesight!" Huangfusong finally raised his head, but squinted slightly. "Good looks! Good talent!"

Zhuge Liang did not dare to say anything, but leaned forward and bowed again.

"So, are the elites under my command really vain?" Cai Bojie was curious for a moment. "Didn't Kong Wenju speak out of anger?"

"What kind of soldier does Kong Wenju know?" Huangfu Song couldn't help laughing. "When he said it was vain, it was when the elite of Zhang Wenyuan's army, who had just defeated the Baima Qiang, passed by him... On the contrary, in the middle of the military parade, the atmosphere was already heated.

Later, there were indeed thousands of people on horseback, and there was some suspicion that they were just trying to make up for the numbers. The word "floating" was just in line with the situation."

"What's going on?" Wei Song became more and more nervous.

"It's nothing..." Huangfu Song became more and more unconcerned. "I know the quality of the elite under my command, and I have seen them all. There are no idlers, so some of the elite must have gone on official business, so I found them.

Some local Wei County soldiers or Shiwu auxiliary soldiers put on refined iron armor and iron helmets and pretended to be there... Have any of you seen Xu Gongming, who is best at attacking today? Let's wait and see, at least tomorrow, as many as three

There should be good news in five days... I can only say that it is rare for a student like Wei Gong to have such foresight."

Everyone was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized.

"Young man from Langya, I see that you are quite talented, would you like to learn the art of war from me?" Seeing this, Huangfu Song didn't say much. Instead, he held a wooden sign and pointed at Zhuge Liang.

"Young man likes to read, but I don't want to ask for a deep understanding. If Mr. Huangfu is willing to teach, I am willing to learn. However, what I have learned has never been good. If I achieve nothing, I hope Mr. Huangfu will forgive me." After saying this, Zhuge Liang bowed and paid homage.

"It doesn't matter." Huangfu Song felt more and more comfortable. "Those people all day long thought that I, Duke Yan, and the Right Prime Minister had some secrets of military art, and if they got it, they could become famous generals of the country. As everyone knows, the key to the two words of "art of war" is

By analogy, keep all the miscellaneous knowledge in your heart, and then use it with one mind. The rest is talent, experience and courage! And since you have done this, I will put on the airs of a teacher and do something...

...Tomorrow I will recommend you to go out with the army to gain experience! Please note that such a battle, even if you accompany the army to help wash horses all day long, it is enough to make a person reborn, so you must not miss it!"

Zhuge Liang leaned down and bowed again, but although Wei Song was reluctant to give up for a while, he did not stop him in the end.

At this point, everyone had finished playing a round of animal cards. They had already eaten and cooled down, and were ready to return home after all the fun. They all got up. However, before they could clean up, they suddenly saw a number of people riding white horses galloping towards Nanshi.

Below the city, someone shouts and announces something, and then the whole building is likely to be overturned by the noise from below...

The people upstairs got Huangfu Song’s advice and were well prepared, so they could hear clearly.

It turned out that those who had followed what they said were Xu Huang and Zhang Zha who made a long-distance attack, leading 3,000 elite troops from their headquarters, 5,000 Weijun soldiers, and 5,000 Hanoi soldiers to successfully sneak across the Yellow River to Baimajin, and then go down to Dongjun in a battle.

The important town of Baima City!

So far, who still doesn’t understand?

All the military parades and extravagances are all pretentious. Even after becoming Duke of Yan, Gongsun Xun was still the sharp-edged Gongsun Xun, and he was still the white-horse general whose sharpness and tenacity were the best in the world!

After Cao Cao received the full support of Liu Biao and Liu Bei, he publicly issued a letter of war to Yecheng, claiming to have an army of 700,000. He wanted to join Gongsun Xun in Baima, a pun-intended river town. He did not know why.

I still feel confident to be brave.

The result? Before both sides mobilized, Gongsun Xun first built a plank road to visit Chen Cang secretly, and captured the white horse in a surprise attack in response to his invitation.

It can only be said that although the broken blade in Yan Gong's arms has not been unsheathed for several years, it is still as sharp as ever. It's just those college students. Others don't know, Huangfu Song, Ma Teng, Cai Yong, and Wei Song.

How could he not know Gongsun Xun's sharpness?

So the four of them were in a comfortable mood and didn't bother to pay attention to the students who gathered at Tongque Terrace again in the middle of the night, and drove directly into the city to rest.

"The Heavenly Card is Xuande?"

Three days later, in the Chen County Hall of Chen Guo, Cao Mengde received the second gift of the day from Gongsun Xun only half a day after receiving the news of the fall of Baima, and had just dispatched reinforcements. However, when he opened it in public, he found that it was a set gift.

Beautifully crafted wooden animal plaques.

However, in the middle of this set of animal cards, instead of the corresponding paper animal images as usual, there are clearly printed names, resumes and other text of certain people.

For example, when Cao Mengde opened it at this time, he saw that the first heaven card was labeled with Liu Xuande's name, official position and description of his appearance.

"Is the land card Liu Jingsheng?" Cao Cao opened another card in the order arranged in the box, and couldn't help but frown more and more.

At the same time, Jiang Gan below stood still among many civil and military personnel, his so-called expressionless face turning a deaf ear.

"Four dragon cards... Wen Ruo, Lu Zijing, Zhou Gongjin, Yuan Rang? That's appropriate." Cao Mengde continued to look through them in order, but he couldn't help but become more interested. "Four tiger cards... Jiuyuan

Lu Bu, Wu Jun Sun Ce, Jiujiang Zhou Tai, Nanyang Huang Zhong, Wen Qi are really thinking about the Central Plains! Four horse cards, Miaocai, Zixiao, Wenqian, Jingze... Zixiao, look at it, you are a horse

Xia Qianlima is the same as Miaocai and Wen Qian... Unfortunately, Miaocai has just set off to support Yanjin, and Wen Qian is probably already on the front line."

Next to him, Cao Ren quickly took the cards, but gave the two dragon cards to Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu, who were beside him, to look at them, and then looked at his own card, and immediately smiled... By the way, the animal cards are so early in the morning.

It is not the simple way of playing in order at the beginning, but because of the nature of the animals themselves, many additional interesting ways of playing have evolved, which completely exceeded Aunt Gongsun's imagination.

It can only be said that the wisdom of the working people has always been higher than that of Aunt Gongsun.

But in any case, the horse card has always been in a higher position. Its universality is only lower than that of the dragon and tiger, but it is common knowledge in both the north and the south. No wonder Cao Ren was proud of it for a while.

"Four dog tags, Nanyang Wenpin, Runan Li Tong, Runan Chen Dao, Lingling Huang Gai..." Cao Cao actually liked it more and more the more he looked at it. "Oh, Jiang Ziyi, your Yan Gong is afraid that I don't know all the people in the Central Plains."

Are you a passerby? You are specially asked to send this thing to remind me so as not to miss the general?"

"That's not what I meant." Jiang Gan said with a slight embarrassment. "This is for bounties. All officers in our army have them, and every song also has a pair..."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao, who was sitting in the seat, was obviously startled.

"That's right." Jiang Qian raised his hands and faced the north and replied seriously. "When the Yan Kingdom was founded, the title was vacant, so it is suitable for this... For example, if you get one of the Dragon Tablets, you can immediately be granted the title of Marquis of the founding county of the Yan Kingdom, and the Tiger Tablet,

The horse tiles are all local marquises, the dog tiles, and the sheep tiles can be the rank lords, and the rest below are not marquises, but they all have corresponding rewards..."

Cao Cao was still in a daze, Xiahou Dun immediately glared, but Xun Yu still smiled and said nothing. Only Cao Ren laughed in embarrassment at first, and then hid his cards in his arms: "Don't you think I am worth a country prince among my old friends?"

What about cards and land cards?"

"The founding of the country has established the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!" Jiang Qian had no intention of covering up.

"It seems like your Yan Gong's method, but even Liu Xuande has offered a reward." Cao Cao came to his senses and shook his head. "But there is no reward for me and the emperor?"

"How can the emperor offer a reward?" Jiang Gan smiled awkwardly. "I originally wanted to invite the emperor to return to Chang'an, but Duke Cao actually offered a reward... Along with Yang Wenxian, Yuan Gongli, and Xuzhou Chen Gui..."

Cao Cao became more and more strange: "It's just Yuan Yang, Chen Gui...could it be that they are still arranged according to their families? And why are the four of me not included in the card? But it's not easy to offer a reward?"
To be continued...
