The man surnamed Xu stared at Cao Cao without blinking: "Kuanjun's look showed that he had already predicted it. I am not talented, would you like to ask 'Wu Mengde' about his ambition?"
"Ask me about my ambition?"
Cao Cao smiled and looked him up and down: "Sir, your temperament is outstanding, as outstanding as a crane. Wu will show off his humiliation and give him a copy of "Crane Soaring to the Sky". All the rest of his ambitions are in it."
After that, he walked around for a few steps and sang -
"The wind is blowing, and I want to go on the heroic road.
The vast sea is thousands of miles long and difficult to cross.
The tiger warriors wear iron armor and wield thousands of horses, fighting for the day and night.
Talking and laughing are just a matter of fear.
Who asks about life and death? Let the descendants sing songs and poems.
Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han returned to the dust and mist.
Sighing about world affairs, scholars make mistakes.
There are foxes and rats everywhere. Who can handle them?
Holding the sky pillar with bare hands.
Ten thousand people are angry together, in exchange for the long-lasting strength of the nine countries. "
This man surnamed Xu was a great talent in both civil and military affairs. When he heard it, he immediately understood that the first half of Cao Cao's lyrics meant that he wished he could be like the great generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in those days, crossing the desert, risking their lives and killing. The barbarians looked at the wind and fled.
Xia Qian said that the heroes of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu were no longer around, and now Zhao and Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs, which ruined major events. The court was full of treacherous ministers. Once something happened, no one could count on him, so he had to "hold the pillar of heaven with his bare hands." With these heroes who are not valued by the imperial court, fight out the "Kyushu Changgu"!
"Good! What a piece of "Crane Soaring to the Sky"!"
Huang Wenbing took the lead in clapping his hands and exclaimed: "Brother has great ambitions, and we will definitely work together to help him achieve great things."
Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan and others also looked intoxicated and nodded repeatedly.
Jiao Ting was surprised and asked Li Kui: "It's amazing. Isn't this brother I worship a Wu Mengde? How come he can also write poetry?"
Li Kui glanced at him proudly: "I'm still a black whirlwind, can't I still write poems? If you like it, I will often write poems for you in the future - write your bird name in the poem, and write it on this bird wall , Teach the bird people in the future to know your name!"
Jiao Ting was surprised and happy after hearing this. He looked up at Li Kui like a mountain, and he did not dare to underestimate this defeated general.
The man surnamed Xu was full of joy, clasped his fists and said: "There is a lot of "Crane Soaring to the Sky", but this is not a coincidence? My younger brother Xu Guanzhong, because he is aloof and arrogant, knows some light kung fu, understands some poetry, and has a smooth population in Daming Mansion, so he has a foreign name The trumpet is 'Crane Soaring to the Sky'!"
Cao Cao said happily: "I didn't expect that my husband and I are so destined!"
Jiang Jing said with envy: "Ah, using Cipai as a nickname is so elegant!"
Xu Guanzhong waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Then he said to Cao Cao: "Since Brother Wu has such a wonderful ambition, Guan Zhong has one thing to say, and I won't be happy if I don't say it."
Cao Cao said seriously: "I hope I can teach you!"
Xu Guanzhong walked to the door. There was a package standing there, but he had brought it before. He picked it up on the table and opened the package. Inside was a two-foot-tall thick roll of paper.
Xu Guanzhong moved two tables and put them together, then carefully untied the scroll and rolled it along the table. Lao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up and he cried out: "Ah! This is..."
There were three drawings rolled together in one place. They were all two feet high and eight feet long. Xu Guanzhong slowly put the three drawings together from top to bottom. Experts like Pei Xuan, Huang Wenbing and others couldn't help but let out a low voice and stood up together. Surround us!
But on that map, there are mountains and rivers, winding rivers, large and small cities, and clouds all over the place. Not only the territory of the Song Dynasty, but also Dali, Tubo, Daliao, Jin Kingdom and even Korea are all listed one by one. Take a closer look. The handwriting is new and old, with only a few places still blank.
Xu Guanzhong said: "Brother Wu, please take a look. This is the map of birds in the world of Kyushu passed down by Guanzhong's family! Guanzhong's great-grandfather was inspired by watching birds flying high. He imitated birds flying in straight lines to draw the map. It is not affected by the error of landforms and is accurate, so it is called "The Picture of Flying Birds, four generations of my Xu family have worked hard to achieve the scale it has now!"
Cao Cao had seen a lot of maps, but compared with the precise and delicate map in front of him, the previous maps were just like children's scribblings. He couldn't help but exclaim: "This rare treasure cannot be exchanged for one hundred thousand gold!"
Pei Xuan praised: "My younger brother once had the opportunity to read "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Mengxi's father-in-law. It mentioned the beauty of flying birds. The source is unknown, but it turned out to be created by Mr. Guanzhong's ancestors, which shows that his family's learning is extraordinary. !”
Xu Guanzhong smiled slightly, took out an iron rod as thin as a little finger from his sleeve, and pointed at the picture: "Brother Wu, look, this is Yanggu! Brother Wu takes this as the basis, and connects with Liang Shanbo as his wings. Although It’s safe, but the space is limited. Let’s see what happens here?”
He moved the iron rod slightly and drew a virtual circle in the peninsula area east of Shandong.
Cao Cao, Huang Wenbing and others looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but be surprised and looked at a few people. Cao Cao smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is indeed a talented person! But before I went to Liangshanbo, a hero from Erlongshan named "Flower Monk" Lu Zhishen suggested that Qingmi should be my sect. Denglai married. Because there was a general judge Zongze in Dengzhou who had extraordinary abilities and was a good official who loved the people like a son. I couldn't bear to harm his life, so I took a cart of gold and silver to Tokyo to buy the adulterer and transfer him away. , and took advantage of the situation to get a few papers to sue. Now the military power of the four states of Qingmi, Denglai is in my hands. When the officials of those states and counties are trained, the military and administration will be all in our hands. In less than half a year, these four states will be in the name of My surname is Zhao, but my surname is actually Wu!"
Xu Guanzhong was surprised and happy when he heard this, and asked anxiously: "Then you will recharge your batteries and wait for the weather to change?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "More than that, when I was in the capital, I once heard that the Song Dynasty had plans to go out to sea from Dengzhou and join forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty. I have heard for a long time that the girl from the Jin Dynasty was really good at fighting. What is it like? If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't guess. How can we count?"
Xu Guanzhong listened with admiration in his eyes and laughed loudly: "Brother Wu is really brave! I have been to the Jin Kingdom with my father when I was young, and I am most familiar with the geography. I can also speak Jurchen. Isn't it God who taught me to do this?" , help Brother Wu achieve this great cause?"
He took two steps back and said solemnly: "My younger brother Xu Guanzhong, 'Crane to the Sky', has never been submissive to others since he was a child. Today I met my elder brother. His vision and sense of loyalty are all outstanding among people. Even the wise masters of ancient times. It’s hard to overcome! I’m not talented, but I’m willing to help my brother achieve great things. I sincerely offer this picture of flying birds in the world of Kyushu!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No! It's a blessing to have Mr. Wu come to help. How could Mr. Wu take a look at Mr.'s family heirloom?"
Xu Guanzhong said loudly: "If all the people in this world can be like Yanggu County, even if they die hundreds of times, I will be willing to do so, let alone this is just a picture?"
After saying that, he pushed the golden mountain over the jade pillar and bowed to the ground.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel moved, and quickly helped him up and said: "I have to be loyal and help you, just like King Wen of Zhou Taigong Wangye! Why worry about failure to accomplish great things."
His comparison compared Xu Guanzhong to the sky. Xu Guanzhong was young after all, so he couldn't help but be extremely excited, and secretly decided to commit suicide.
Huang Wenbing joked: "My brother has done great things in the capital. When he came back, brothers Li Yun and Jiao Ting agreed, and even heroes like Brother Xu came to help. This is a sign of great prosperity, why should we celebrate it!"
Cao Cao laughed: "Then I won't come home until I'm drunk today!"
At that moment, Zhu Fu gave an order, and countless fine wines and delicacies were served. Everyone ate and drank, and wanted to listen to Cao Cao's story about what happened after leaving. Cao Cao then began to talk about the defeat of Hu Yanzhuo, and everyone was exclaimed and praised. .
This joyful drinking session didn't end until late in the evening.
Cao Cao wanted to have a night talk with Xu Guanzhong by candlelight, but unexpectedly everyone rushed to propose a toast and knocked Xu Guanzhong down early. He asked everyone to take care of him and took him to the courtyard to rest.
Cao Cao himself, accompanied by two guards, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, walked toward his martial residence. When he reached the side of his annex, a door suddenly opened and a man jumped out. With a smile on his face, he said: "Oh, Mr. Wu, I couldn't leave the house for several days in a row, and my body and mind were exhausted from waiting. Now that I finally meet the master, why don't I go in and take a sip of leaf tea to relieve hangover and tiredness? Are you willing to miss it easily?"
Cao Cao took a closer look and saw that it was Wang Po. This old woman was dressed in red and had flowers on her face. She looked pretty as she aged. He chuckled and said, "You old woman, you are so scheming! What kind of encounter do you think you're going to intercept me? That's all, it's just right. If you are thirsty, please make three cups of tea."
Wang Po was overjoyed. She happily led her into the room and sat down, saying, "I know that the master of the Wu family is most willing to make friends with the old friends. He is not like those people who don't recognize their neighbors when they are rich. Just sit down and sit down, and you can have tea." "
There are different teachings: the magpie steps on the branches and the whole world is convinced, and the crane soars into the sky to present the map of Kyushu. The king's career is determined for thousands of years, and God sends geniuses to support him.
