Inside the city, there is a temporary Han Dynasty palace.
Liu Zhang had already heard the news and was waiting in the main hall.
He was accompanied by Xun You, the only mastermind in the city.
Xun You was really suffering these days.
The problem of how to weigh the elephant has always troubled him. Although it has not reached the point where he can't stop eating without thinking about tea, it is still tasteless.
In order to come up with a way to weigh the elephant, I almost racked my brains.
In the previous battles between the two armies, the most difficult thing was never this difficult.
In Xun You's opinion, it was not that difficult for him to destroy an army of 100,000 people.
Unable to figure it out at first, Xun You was not discouraged and began to read through the classics.
Trying to find clues on how to weigh giant things in the book.
Unfortunately, Nanpi is in a dilapidated state and has almost no collection of books.
I searched through all the books I could find, but nothing helped.
Xun You's brows never relaxed.
There hasn't been anything urgent lately, Xun You is too busy.
When people are free, they always start to think about things that are not there.
Seeing Xun You disappearing day by day, Liu Zhang couldn't stand it anymore and repeatedly tried to persuade him not to do so.
But Xun You didn't listen at all and vowed to find a way.
Three days passed and no solution was found, so Xun You had to give in.
He didn't bother to ask why Cao Chong was called smart.
As long as Liu Zhang tells him the answer.
It happened that today Tian Yu brought Cao Chong to surrender, and Xun You could no longer bear it.
"King Han, I surrender. I really have no choice about this elephant."
"Please also ask the King of Han to express it clearly and relieve this itch in my heart!"
"Ahahahaha!"
Seeing Xun You's appearance, Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing.
"Gongda is just an elephant, why should he be so serious?"
"What if there is nothing I can do?"
Xun You shook his head firmly.
"Impossible! The King of Han definitely has a way, I firmly believe it!"
"Please also ask the King of Han to clarify my doubts!"
"OK OK."
Liu Zhang waved his hands quickly and relaxed.
If I had known that it would bring such great confusion to Xun You, I would not have asked this question.
"Although Gongda is relieved, I will definitely let you know the answer today."
Xun You's eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly.
"really?"
This problem really bothered him.
"Do not worry."
As soon as the promise was made, the soldiers outside the door came in to report.
"Report to the King of Han, Tian Yu and Cao Chong will bring it."
"come in."
The person who had been waiting for a long time arrived, and Xun You suppressed the strange look on his face.
No matter how many doubts you have in your mind, you must put business before your eyes.
Xun You will never have any problems with this.
Not long after, Tian Yu and Cao Chong were brought into the house.
Xun You's face had long been calm and he couldn't see anything strange.
"Greetings to the King of Han!"
After entering the house, Tian Yu immediately bowed to the ground.
In fact, he walked in with his head lowered and did not even see Liu Zhang's face clearly.
Nervousness and huge mental pressure prevented him from being presumptuous and transgressing.
If looking at each other causes trouble, Tian Yu really has no place to cry.
"Cao Chong, son of Cao Cao, pays homage to the King of Han!"
Cao Chong also knelt down and saluted.
However, he was slightly different from Tian Yu. He glanced briefly for a week before kneeling down.
"No gifts."
Liu Zhang did not treat them differently and asked them to stand up at the same time.
"Thank you, King Han!"
Tian Yu stood up first, raising his head in fear.
After hesitating for a long time, he found Liu Zhang's figure and slowly looked at him.
Their eyes met and they trembled again.
The inexplicable pressure was overwhelming and rushed towards him, making Tian Yu breathless.
Fortunately, Cao Chong spoke at this time, easing the pressure on Tian Yu.
"I have often heard my late father mention that the King of Han was wise, mighty, and a man of heaven. When I saw him today, it was indeed extraordinary!"
"It seems that my father was defeated by the King of Han. It was God's will."
In a word, the posture is kept to the lowest level.
Not only did he lower his stance, he also belittled Cao Cao and promoted Liu Zhang.
It is a complete expression of surrender.
Tian Yu suddenly became anxious. He didn't expect Cao Chong to be so eager to show off.
In this way, wouldn't it bury him under the ground?
"Of course it is the destiny of the King of Han..."
"OK OK."
Unfortunately, Liu Zhang raised his hand to interrupt Tian Yu's praise.
The flattery was not done well, which made Tian Yu blush and feel extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Zhang didn't stop and looked at Cao Chong very dissatisfied.
"Isn't it against your filial piety for you to belittle your father like this?"
Xun You on the side also showed a strange look.
Cao Chong was praised by Liu Zhang, but ended up acting like this, which is inevitably disappointing.
It seems that intelligence and ability are indeed not directly linked.
"Haha, King Han misunderstood."
Cao Chong looked calm and explained in a leisurely manner.
"The ancients said that those who obey the heavens will prosper, and those who go against the heavens will perish. This is the truth from ancient times."
"As I said before, the King of Han is the destiny of heaven. How can the father fight against the will of heaven and remain undefeated? It is normal to bring disaster upon oneself."
"But instead of harming the Cao family after my father's defeat, the King of Han treated him kindly, which is really a great act of kindness and righteousness!"
“There’s no need to praise!”
Liu Zhang's face was cold and cold, but he did not relax after this explanation.
"In your heart, is your father so miserable?"
"Is it possible that when the upper and lower lips touch each other and God's will is spoken, it can be like this?"
"No!"
Cao Chong's tone accelerated slightly to deny.
"Except for the King of Han, my late father defeated almost all the separatist princes."
"From a disciple with no prominent status, to the King of Wei who occupies half of the Central Plains and Hebei Province, do I still need to express my ability in words?"
"The facts have proven everything! My father was not incompetent, he just lost to destiny!"
"It is said that fate plays tricks on people, but it is impossible to go against God's will!"
