This surprise turned into surprise, and the admiration turned into admiration. Guo Ming originally thought that he was being shaken by the flood, and tonight passed like this.
Little did he know that Cao Cao rolled his eyes and changed the topic of conversation directly to Guo Ming.
"Guo Ming, what do you think of my son's talent?"
As soon as Boss Cao spoke, all eyes were focused on Guo Ming.
Guo Ming was startled and immediately realized that something was not right.
But he didn't think much about it at this time, and instead raised a smile that is typical of businessmen.
"Okay, it's a first-class literary talent that is rare to see throughout the ages."
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Guo Ming feels that he is not a flatterer.
The three cao and ten sons were indeed first-class literati who were rarely seen throughout the ages.
The Ten Sons refers to the Ten Sons of Jian'an, the ten most outstanding literati in the world who were adopted by Cao Cao.
As for the three caos, they are the three of them, one is Cao Cao, one is Cao Pi, and the other is Cao Zhi in front of him.
Cao Zhi's literary talent ranks first among the three Cao Cao. Unfortunately, his literary talent alone is not enough. Compared with his momentum and heroic spirit, he is really not as good as his father Cao Cao.
These thirteen people had a great influence on the literary style of the Six Dynasties in later generations, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that their influence was slightly weakened. But this also has a history of more than 400 years.
It's not flattering to say it's rare to see him for eternity.
But to Cao Cao, this sounded like first-rate flattery.
While he was laughing, he asked: "Then tell me, which of the three young masters, Pi, Zhang or Zhi, is more outstanding?"
Guo Ming almost blurted out, Lao Cao, you did it on purpose!
Why these three people? Just because these three people are the favorites of the prince.
Who doesn't know that the later dispute between the Cao family came from these three people?
Guo Ming smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Cao, how can I tell with my naked eyes who is more outstanding among these three young masters?"
"I only know that these three are all generals and tigers, and they are the best among men. You can't tell it."
Who knew that Cao Cao's face changed on the spot after hearing this.
"Hmph, you are a dragon and a phoenix among men. You are talking about the son of one of my ministers after the emperor. You can use this kind of expression! Guo Ming, did you drink too much today? I'll give you a banquet. Come on down."
ah?
When Guo Ming was sent out by the guards, he still felt dizzy.
Which stick of incense was not burnt properly?
Guo Ming has always found Cao Cao inscrutable.
Before he could figure it out, he saw Guo Jia hurried from the side.
Since he traveled through time, Guo Ming was naturally very big, and he really didn't take this cheap brother who was known as the first echelon of counselors of the Three Kingdoms seriously.
This time, Guo Jia came in a hurry. Guo Ming expected that he had something to say.
Before he opened his mouth, Guo Jia waved his hand to tell him not to speak.
Guo Jia hurriedly pulled Guo Ming and got into the car.
"Brother, what's going on today?" Guo Ming violated a taboo inexplicably, and was kicked out inexplicably.
"You have violated Ming Gong's taboo."
Ming Gong naturally refers to Cao Cao.
Guo Ming violated his taboo. Could it be said that Cao Cao's ambition to become emperor was revealed in one sentence?
This... doesn't seem quite right.
Or is it that he is talking nonsense and abolishing the establishment? This matter does not seem to have reached this stage.
"Oh, you are really still in a dream!" Guo Jia patted Guo Ming's shoulder gently.
He sighed and said, "Fengde, do you know who is Cao Cao's favorite enemy?"
"That's nothing more than Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in Huainan, Ma Teng in the west, and Sun Ce in the south."
So far, Guo Ming can't think of anyone.
"Yuan Shao from the north has no courage to do big things, he is stingy with his body and his reputation, and he will risk his life for small profits."
"Yuan Shu in Huainan is like a withered bone in the tomb, and sooner or later he will be crushed and thrown into ashes. The Ma Teng Mountain in Xiliang is high and the water is long, so it is not a personal problem."
"Sun Ce is a tiger in the south. Unfortunately, he is too young and has not enough experience. In addition, the territory is unstable, and it will not be successful for a while."
Liu Bei!
Guo Ming's brows opened.
Guo Jia probably understood by looking at his appearance. He sighed and patted Guo Ming's hand.
"finally understood?"
"Mr. Xuande?"
Guo Jia nodded.
"Ming Gong's most trusted source is at his side, none other than Xuande Gong, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei."
"Although Liu Bei has been under others for a long time, his wisdom has not diminished. Look at the many generals in Cao Ying who have interacted with him for such a long time. Do you think he is groveling? Does he seem to be following others? No!"
"He still maintains his arrogance. This is a sign that he will leave at any time."
"You, you just hang around the money every day. But you can also lead troops to fight, and you can even be invincible."
"The most terrible thing is that you have never had any dissatisfaction with Liu Bei since you started dating."
"Ming Gong is suppressing you today because he is afraid that your reputation will be too high among the generals. If one day you follow Liu Bei and leave, you may be in serious trouble."
"Today, Duke Ming tells you that he can find any reason to kick you out of the banquet. He can even find any reason to kick you out of the court."
Guo Ming felt a tightness in his chest and blinked his eyes for a long time before coming back to his senses.
Yes, have we forgotten about this?
In addition to Cao Cao's great talent and great strategy, there is another word in front of him! "Ray"!
He can now see clearly that Liu Bei is his future opponent. He won't let his opponents grow too much.
Guo Jia sighed: "Oh, it's a pity it's too late."
"In this Shouchun expedition, it is possible that you will be defeated immediately and demoted back to Xuchang. If you can live well, that's all. If..."
After receiving this, Guo Jia shook his head.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen.
"Lost? Whether I will lose the battle depends on the formation arrangement in front."
"My silly brother, why don't you understand? Since you are asked to defeat the battle, it is impossible for you to win. All the promises made to you are not fulfilled."
"How can you possibly win if you don't even have enough money and food for your troops?"
"What's more, if all parties are not in place, your victory will be worse than your defeat."
"If you win, Ming Gong will know that he can't control you. You can only..."
Guo Jia gently slid his fingers under Guo Ming's neck.
I don’t know if it’s because of being sick all the time, but Guo Jia’s fingers are cold.
This cold stroke gave Guo Mingzhen the illusion that the blade of the knife had passed through his neck.
He finally understood this situation. It turned out that he had always been on the surface, while Guo Jia was in the atmosphere.
It's not that who is better than anyone else, but that there is information asymmetry in some things.
Guo Jia was with Cao Cao all day long, so he could naturally read Cao Cao's expressions from his expressions when Guo Ming, Liu Guan, and Zhang got too close.
There are tens of thousands of enemies in Guan and Zhang, and Cao Cao is envious.
Guo Ming himself is a good man in charge of troops, horses, money and food, and he is also able to lead troops and fight.
If he defected to Liu Bei, even if he could not be a counselor like Zhang Liang, he would still be a prime minister like Xiao He.
How could Cao Cao not be taboo?
