"Zhou Wenzhi and Song Xin, please share your thoughts." Cao Cao suddenly said.
The two of them were a little surprised. They had no right to interfere in such a major military matter. Cao Cao suddenly asked, and the two immediately realized that this must be another test question. But the two of them still said in unison: "Prime Minister, this is a major military and national matter, I dare not say anything."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "You can speak freely."
Zhou Wenzhi nodded and said with a look of fear: "I have the same view as Mr. Zhongzi. This plan is indeed..."
Cao Cao interrupted him with some dissatisfaction: "I am asking how you should solve this matter."
Zhou Wenzhi immediately said: "However, I believe that Guan Yu may not be able to detect this flaw since he is surrounded. We should implement the strategy as planned. Changes at this time... I am afraid there will be more flaws."
Cao Cao didn't answer and looked at Song Xin again.
Song Xin straightened his body and said, "Prime Minister, I believe that our army should not place its hopes on the enemy's negligence. Guan Yu is a battle-hardened general. If he discovers any flaw in our army, he will definitely seize it and counterattack." Zhou Wen Hearing Song Xin's words, he turned his head slightly and glanced at him.
"It seems that you have learned a lot from Wei Ziming." Cao Cao said.
"So how do you solve this problem?" he then asked.
"this.....".
Song Xin was speechless, as if he was asking himself to take the blame. He regretted a little. If he had known about it earlier, he would not have mentioned this plan. Wouldn't it be better to act stupid? But now I have to say it.
"For today's plan, I will slightly change the plan, so that our army, which originally surrounded and refused to fight, will attack and harass Guan Yu one after another to tire out Guan Yu, and buy time for the Runan army to rest and recuperate." Song Xin sighed in his heart, and bravely said that he Remedy ideas.
"In my opinion, do you know how to coordinate several armies on a battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles? How to make them work together? It takes time to transmit messages, and when the army gets the news and dispatches, the fighter planes may have disappeared. This strategy sounds good, but it cannot be realized." After hearing this, Cao Cao waved his hands and said with a smile.
Song Xin's scalp was slightly numb. This method might work on future battlefields. But in this era, communication methods are backward and messages need to be delivered by people and horses. His method is simply not feasible. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and said, "The villain is talking nonsense. Please be punished by the Prime Minister."
"The truth is that I didn't blame you, so don't blame yourself." Cao Cao looked calm and said lightly. After Song Xin stood up, he noticed that a gloating smile seemed to flash across Zhou Wenzhi's face, but he immediately covered it up.
Cao Chong looked at the two of them with watery eyes and no expression on his face.
"Hey, I'm too reckless today, just say that I don't know..." Song Xin blamed herself in her heart.
Next, Cao Cao wanted to discuss countermeasures with several counselors, so he asked Cao Chong to take Song Xin and Zhou Wenzhi out.
The three of them walked to the back garden. Zhou Wenzhi pretended to be concerned and comforted Song Xin, "Brother Song, don't be depressed. The prime minister is just testing you and me. And Brother Song's strategy is not completely useless."
Song Xin thanked her with her mouth, but she was still sneering in her heart, "You were clearly gloating just now."
Cao Chong heard the conversation between the two and said, "You two know that my father was actually quite satisfied with you just now."
Song Xin asked in surprise: "Master, why do you say that? The Prime Minister clearly reprimanded the foreigner just now."
Cao Chong said: "Wen Zhi's idea is to stick to the plan unchanged, which is good for the morale of the army. But your idea, Song Xin, is to make up for mistakes immediately when you find them to avoid big mistakes. Father wants to see how you will deal with things, not I really want you to advise him."
Then he smiled faintly and continued: "He is looking to see if you two can be my rivals and friends. In the future, if I encounter problems that cannot be solved, or I am hesitant, I will need your help. I have firm belief and come up with ways to improve.”
"I see..." Song Xin breathed a sigh of relief as his son understood his father. He and Zhou Wenzhi both thought that Cao Cao wanted to ask them about their strategies, but they did not expect that Cao Cao would test them again in a way that they did not expect.
Then Cao Chong asked with a warm face: "You two, are you willing to be my friends in the dispute?"
Zhou Wenzhi and Song Xin both heard the meaning of the words, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Young Master, we must be of the same mind." When they said this, they looked at each other, but The two people talking at this time didn't believe it at all. Zhou Wenzhi's attitude of looking down on Song Xin based on his background would not change so easily.
Cao Chong smiled and helped the two of them up. Not far away, Song Zhong saw all this, but his expression did not change at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
.........
"Huh, I thought I was being scolded again today. Prime Minister Cao has a lot on his mind and has to be on guard at all times. Those who have been around him all year round are probably under a lot of pressure. The person here who knows the Prime Minister best is probably the young master in front of me. .”
"This is the meaning of what is said at the beginning of "The Record of Jade", 'the world is a dojo'... Moreover, Yu Ji didn't even let me know too much about the world of practitioners at that time. Maybe he wanted me to take a look This complexity of the human heart can help me develop a firm Taoist heart? Maybe."
Song Xin sat in the bottle world and thought about these issues. He felt a little tired after being continuously tested by Cao Cao. The most comfortable thing every day is practicing and meditating here, and even getting beaten up by the wooden man. But if you stay in a comfortable environment all the time, how can you improve your mood?
He thought he was mentally strong enough, but every time he faced Cao Cao, a powerful hero, he always felt uneasy. Even if he is a practitioner, the majesty of the other party can still make him fear from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Wenzhi was also a practitioner, and he seemed to be afraid of Cao Cao.
"Anyway, it's not without gain. At least this time I'm not as nervous as the last time." Song Xin said.
"Song Xin, come down quickly." Xiaoyu's voice came from down the mountain.
"What's up?"
"The grape seeds you gave me have sprouted."
Song Xin and Xiaoyu looked at the buds growing in the nursery and were very happy. Not long after they were planted, they sprouted. Song Xin was also a little too happy. The time inside was three times longer than outside. Song Xin had been outside for almost a month and inside for almost three months. The grape seedlings that took three months to germinate are actually not very fast, but rather slow.
"It's not so fast. I've been planting it for a long time and thought it wouldn't sprout anymore. You've been practicing and haven't noticed." Xiaoyu pouted.
"Oh, that's it. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu. I'll help you dig a reservoir to make irrigation easier." Song Xin went out to find a shovel and started digging the hole. Xiaoyu also asked a few wooden men to help. , which made him feel like he was back to the time when he helped his grandma dig ditches for irrigation. At that time, his hands were always covered with blisters, and his grandma came over to help him clean and bandage them.
After a while, they dug a reservoir near the ditch surrounding the garden, and the wooden man also found stones and repaired it properly. In the next few days, apart from practicing, Song Xin helped Xiaoyu take care of the nursery. These young shoots were nourished by the spiritual water and grew faster and faster.
Song Xin asked the craftsmen in the mansion outside, and a man who knew how to grow grapes told him that when the grapes grow, they need to build wooden frames, otherwise they will all rot in the ground. Song Xin built a scaffolding for the buds according to the method he said, and after a few days, many vines began to wrap around it.
Days like this passed day by day. In addition to practicing, studying, and taking care of the vineyard, whenever Song Xin had free time, he went to Zhang Zhongjing to ask for medical advice. He also learned a lot of ancient medical knowledge, and his life was fulfilling.
One day another battle report came in. Cao Cao was overjoyed after reading it, "Xu Gongming led a surprise attack and burned Guan Yu's grain stores and ships at Hanjinkou. Now Guan Yu has lost the food and fodder supply place at Hanjinkou and is surrounded by our army. "Cao Cao laughed and passed the military report to everyone.
"Song Xin, your plan is very good. I am very satisfied with the truth."
"The Prime Minister is so complimentary, but the Prime Minister has managed things well. The soldiers in the front have sacrificed their lives, but I have no merit."
"I want to reward you. If you have any requests, you can tell me." Cao Cao was in a good mood and asked Song Xin what reward he wanted.
"The Prime Minister is very kind to me and allows me to follow the young master. Song Xin doesn't want any reward, he just wants to go home and see his mother and sister. It has been a long time since Song Xin left home, and he misses them very much."
"Father, my son also thinks that Song Xin should go back to visit his mother to fulfill his filial piety." Cao Chong helped Song Xin speak from the side.
"Well, it's human nature, so I will allow you to take a 20-day holiday and return at the end of this month. You can go home to visit your mother, and remember to return on time." Cao Cao heard his son say the same, and naturally agreed happily. .
At this time, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Wenzhi's face.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, Young Master, Song Xin will definitely return within twenty days." Song Xin heard that Cao Cao approved his request to return to his hometown, and saluted happily. He has earth escape skills, and it only takes a few days to go back and forth on the road. The remaining time is You can spend more time with your family.
"I'm giving you some brocade cloth. You can take it back with me," Cao Cao said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the reward."
Cao Chong also looked happy for Song Xin, "Brother Song, go down and fetch a fast horse, clean it up and then set off."
"Thank you, Mr. Song." After Song Xin left, he went to the stables of the mansion and spoke to the groom who was in charge of the horses. He went back to the house to tidy up his things. In fact, he had nothing to pack. Most of his things were stored in Xingshang Garden. .
When I went out, I saw that the horses were ready. Song Xin mounted his horse and ran out of the city without hesitation. Not long after Song Xin left, Cao Cao called his personal clerk over and whispered a few words. The man nodded and went out.
After Song Xin left, Zhou Wenzhi went to look outside Song Xin's room door and nodded secretly. He took out a jade slip and sent a message: "The Runan army is tired and can take the opportunity to break out. Song Xin is allowed to return to his hometown."
At the same time, in a house in Xiangyang, an old man with disheveled silver hair received the message and said to a strange young man sitting next to him: "There is news from Cao's army. The Runan army is tired and can take the opportunity to break out. "
The young man smiled lightly: "Master, I will send someone to see him off right away." Then he got up and went out. The old man looked at his back, took out another jade slip, and said via voice transmission:
"That boy named Song went on the road alone, but he was intercepted and killed halfway from Qiaojun to Yanzhou..."
