Chapter 25 Qunxian Bizhi

All questions were answered when Cao Cao visited General He Jin. Because his identity was unknown, Cao Cao did not dare to take a car, but only rode a horse.When they got off their horses, they had not yet entered the luxurious shogunate, when Bao Tao and Bao Zhong walked out with their heads bowed.The three of them were stunned when they met, and the Bao brothers were overjoyed: "Oh! Brother Meng De, you are here! Come in! Come in!" The two of them led Cao Cao to walk in, and the soldiers guarding the gate seemed to be used to this kind of situation. He didn't even ask, and the famous assassin didn't ask for it.

Cao Cao seemed to be in a fog, and was dragged in by the two of them. Before he could stand still, Bao Tao pulled his neck and shouted: "Cao Mengde is here! Cao Mengde is here!" How could it be so rude in the shogunate?Before Cao Cao understood, he saw countless officials and scholars squeezed out from all around, and everyone crowded around him as if they were seeing relatives.Cui Jun was the first to rush over and grab his hand: "I said he will definitely come! He can't be a hermit! The general gave him a horse back then, and this is by no means an outsider." Cao Cao understands how important he is. Although he is a little famous, he will not alarm so many people. There must be something hidden in it.When everyone laughed, they saw the great general He Jin approaching him arrogantly, with four cronies beside him.Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to the general."

He Jin finally made no slip of the tongue this time. He didn't call "big brother" and didn't come to hug him. Instead, he reached out and said, "Brother Meng De, please come, you and I don't need to be polite." After hearing and seeing, he also knows some etiquette. Cui Jun pointed to He Jin's four relatives and said: "Meng De, I recommend you. This elder brother is the great general Sima Xuliang... this is the fake Sima ①Wu Dang...these two are also great generals Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang." Hearing his introduction, Cao Cao greeted the four of them one by one and exchanged some pleasantries. Seeing that the four were rough in appearance and bold in speech, he guessed that they were officers who had been promoted by He Jin many times during the pacification of chaos. .

As soon as he introduced these four people, He Jin took his hand: "Meng De, I'm looking forward to you! Come on, I'll take you to meet your friends." After speaking, he took his hand and walked to the side yard . Passing through two doors and coming to a hall, He Jin walked in hand in hand with him. The people in the hall seemed to be discussing something, and they talked very harmoniously. Seeing that the general brought people, they all stood up and saluted.He Jin pointed to a forty-year-old man in the first seat and said, "This is the chief historian recommended by Yuan Benchu. I specially visited the door and invited the chief historian." Cao Cao had heard that He Jin's chief historian was Wang Qian, a famous scholar in Shanyang. His grandfather, Wang Gong, was a Taiwei, and his father, Wang Chang, was a Situ. The noble family came to assist He Jin, a butcher. Which famous person in the world would dare to be arrogant?

"I've heard about Brother Wang's name for a long time, and I'm very honored to meet you today." Wang Qian returned the salute with a pleasant smile.He Jin didn't wait for Cao Cao to say more, and personally introduced all the people who sat in the room, except for those who were released from the party's imprisonment, they were all celebrities of Qingliu, all of whom were well-known.What Xun You, Xun Gongda, Hua Xin Hua Ziyu, Zheng Tai, Zheng Gongye, Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng, Zhou Yu, Zhou Zhongyuan, Wu Fu, Wood Yu, Chen Lin, Chen Kongzhang, Tian Tianfeng, Yuanhao, Pang Ji, Pang Yuantu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Yidu, Kong Ni, Kong Gongxu, Yuan Remaining Yuan Boye, Hu Mu Ban Hu Mu Ji Pi, Wang Kuang Wang Gongjie, Huan Dian Huan Gongya, Kong Rong Kong Wenju... It can be said that there are so many sages, young and old, that they are too numerous to count.Cao Cao bowed one after another, making his waist sore, neck ache, dizzy, and dizzy. At this moment, he couldn't care less about being rude.

Everyone was talking, laughing and respectful, suddenly someone yelled loudly: "This man has been flattering for generations, and his father got his job with bribes. It's ridiculous for you to flatter this eunuch, who is ugly!" Cao Cao suddenly felt as if he had been slapped on the face, and everyone looked for him with angry eyes.I saw a person standing at the door, who was just letting go.Cao Cao sneered, and it was no surprise: Chen Liubian was also close to Huan Shao and Yuan Zhong, and these three people were determined to oppose him, Cao.Yuan Zhong said a lot of gossip before, and today I met this guy again.

Having seen this kind of thing a lot, Cao Cao has experience, so he didn't argue with him, but just waved his hands and said: "Brother Wen Li is here too! Cao Cao is rude." After bowing, he said, "Cao has something unclear and wants to come to him. Brother Wen Li, I would like to ask you for advice. Did the general enlist you to be the leader, did he ask you to recruit talents and be kind to your colleagues, or did he tell you to humiliate the nobles with your nonsense?" When he said this, he pulled all the people present to his side, and He Jin was the first to put on a bad face, hesitating and saying: "Wen Li, you, you... you're being rude."

Hearing what He Jin said, everyone naturally agreed: "Yes, yes, Wen Li came over to apologize!" Bian Rang sneered for a while: "I won't argue with lay people like you." Turning around, he only chatted with Kong Rong, which made everyone embarrassed.Cao Cao's good mood was completely disturbed by him. Seeing the frost on his face, another person squeezed in from outside: "Meng De, you are here, I will introduce another good friend to you." It was He Yong and He Boqiu. Seeing He Yong, Cao Cao was very respectful. He Yong pointed to a naive middle-aged man beside him, and introduced Cao Cao: "This is Zhang Mengzhuo of Dongping." Then he smiled and pointed at Cao Cao, and said to Zhang Mengzhuo: "He is Pei Pei Guo Cao Mengde, you two saved brother Yu from danger many times, so get closer and closer!"

Regarding Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, Cao Cao's ears were already full. It seemed that every fleeing party member had been supported by him. He cupped his hands and said: "Brother Meng Zhuo does not shy away from prostitution and power, and donates money with righteousness. My younger brother is very respectful." Zhang Miao was more polite, Holding his hand, he said: "Don't dare. Meng De is quick-witted and courageous, and he has made great contributions to the country by killing enemies. Brother Yu really dare not compare. Although you and I have never met, Tuo Bo asked for the blessing of our brother, but we know each other's names and stories. You have been friends for many years!" His two words were quite humorous, which made everyone laugh, and swept away the bad luck caused by the sidelines just now.

Everyone wanted to greet each other, but Cui Jun interrupted and said: "Everyone has something to say later, let's invite Meng De to sit in the main hall first! Now that he's here, it's finally all together." What got together?Before Cao Cao had time to ask, he was led out by all the stars and led to the main hall of the shogunate.I saw Yuan Shu, Chen Wen, Bao Xin, Liu Dai and other old people are all in the hall, the most conspicuous one is in the center of the hall, there are seven couches lined up, six of them are already occupied, most of them are familiar people, only the one on the right Three are still empty.

Cui Jun pressed Cao Cao on the empty couch, and said with a smile, "Okay! This time we have all the people together." Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were sitting in the first place, and they cupped their hands and said, "Meng De, Brother Yu came from behind. He entered the official career late. But in front of you, don't take offense, I became a lieutenant in the Chinese military." Bao Hong, who was sitting on the second couch, also said with a smile: "I follow Ben Chu closely. You resigned, but I have fought several battles with the grass bandits in Xiliang as the head of Fufeng, and I am also ahead of you now, yes Lieutenant of the military academy. How about it? Do you accept me as a halberd bearer?" Cao Cao nodded teasingly, it seems that he, the captain of Dianjun, is behind the two of them.Looking further to the left, the fourth person is the elderly Xia Mou. Although he was an admonishing doctor and was born in the military in his early years, he is now worshiped as the captain of Zuo Xiaowei; His name is Qiong, and his style name is Zhongjian. He has also made military achievements, and he is the captain of the right school; the sixth is from a family of princes. Feng Fang, the son-in-law of the former eunuch Cao Jie, will serve as the right captain of the assistant army. Of the so-called eight captains in Xiyuan, there are seven of them in He Jinfu. Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Who is the chief captain?" Yuan Shu continued, "Of course it's our general!" "Don't dare dare," He Jin waved his hands and sat on the front seat, "The emperor hasn't decided who will be the captain of the military academy yet." Yuan Shu smiled and said, "It must be you." Cao Cao frowned and thought to himself: "The general is the president of the soldiers of the world, and he ranks among the public. He is not suitable for the post of captain, right?" But Yuan Shu said: "Who said it can't be done? The eight captains of the West Garden never existed before, so don't they also be established now? Besides, the captains of the generals have been leading the colonels before the dynasty. When Wang Shang was the general, he led the captains of the city gate. , you should know that! If you don’t want to be your official, I’m still thinking about it.” Cao Cao naturally knew about Wang Shang, but he was from Wang Mang's family, and later even the Han Dynasty usurped it.Hearing Yuan Shu's words point it out, he couldn't help his chest jumping violently.But He Jin didn't understand so much, and said with a naive smile, "Don't worry about the road, the captain of Xiyuan doesn't have you. I have already asked Chen Kongzhang to repair my watch for me, and I will guarantee you to be the general of the tiger. Will be good too." "Thank you for your cultivation, General!" Yuan Shu said sweetly. He Jin smiled and said: "Alas... how do I know so much, these are all taught to me at the beginning. I will try my best to follow the idea at the beginning. Anyway, the brothers can work together in one place, and I am happy in my heart " Cao Cao secretly laughed that this person still hasn't made much progress, but he couldn't help but cast a glance at Yuan Shao with admiration. Planning, but I hope that the general will cheer up and stabilize the world. Report the favor of the emperor and relieve the suffering of the people." When everyone heard this, they all praised Yuan Shao. Cao Cao felt a little sour in his heart, always felt that Yuan Shao had never even fought a battle, and everyone here was qualified to be ahead of him.well!After all, his family is the fourth generation and the third father, and he has been raising his status for so many years, so what's the use of not being convinced?Just as he was thinking wildly, Bao Xin suddenly whispered in his ear: "Meng De, I think Yuan Benchu ​​has been a little too noisy these days." Cao Cao hurriedly motioned him to keep his voice down so that Yuan Shao would not hear...
