Cao Cao couldn't help but feel doubtful when he heard that Lu Bu had come in person with a team of chariots and horses.
Although Cao Cao was suspicious, he was not afraid of Lu Bu when he arrived at his one-third of an acre of land. He asked Cao Ren to go out ten miles from the city to greet him personally, and lined up outside the city gate to welcome him, which gave Lu Bu enough face.
When the two met, the two pairs of thugs clasped hands and laughed.
"Fengxian! I'll stay in the county to say goodbye, but I haven't seen you for a while!"
"Brother Meng De, long time no see. How are you?"
The two heroes each have their own hidden agendas, but on the surface they appear to be extremely affectionate.
If you didn't know better, you would even think that two long-lost brothers reunited.
The group of people, who were cheering and playing, entered the city and let Lu Bu into the government office to invite Lu Bu to take a seat.
However, Lu Bu raised his hand and took a package from Xu Chu's hand and said: "This time, I didn't bring any expensive gifts to Brother Meng De. A little thought is not respectful, so please accept it with a smile!"
"Oh?" Cao Mengde took it over with a smile and said, "Look! Fengxian, you are too polite! My brother is so happy when you come, why do you bring any gifts? You are out of town!"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's nothing new, it's just a few books."
"Book?" Cao Cao was stunned, then suddenly said: "I understand, is it the kind of tissue paper book you made in Pengcheng?"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Cao Cao didn't know whether he was really happy or pretending to be happy, so he said:
"I've heard a long time ago that you have produced a new kind of book, Fengxian, and I was thinking of shamelessly asking you for a few books to gain some insights. Unexpectedly, you brought it to me yourself!
Those who know me are the first to follow me! You're welcome, but I want to take a sneak peek! "
As expected, he opened the package and found several thread-bound books neatly stacked inside.
But what I saw on the cover of the first book were the four official scripts of the "Epidemic Prevention Guide".
Lu Bu explained: "The last time there was a cold, Pengcheng managed it fairly well and there was no large-scale infection.
Therefore, I asked people to summarize some experiences and lessons and compile them into a book, hoping to be helpful to Brother Meng De. "
Cao Cao had also heard a little bit about Pengcheng's epidemic prevention, and knew that Lu Bu had come up with many methods to greatly reduce the spread of the epidemic.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed when I got this: "Fengxian really has the heart of a saint! This move will definitely save countless lives! I thank Fengxian on behalf of the people of Yanyu and Yuzhou!"
Lu Bu pretended to be like this: "Mengde doesn't have to be like this! You and I are both ministers of the Han Dynasty, so naturally we should share the worries of the court and work for the welfare of the Han people all over the world! This is what I should do."
Cao Cao couldn't help but be curious, so he opened the book and took a closer look.
He was amazed by the light feel, soft paper and clear handwriting. It was much more comfortable than bamboo slips!
So many words can be recorded in a thin book!
But Cao Cao couldn't help but frowned after seeing the contents of the epidemic prevention guide.
Lockdown? isolation? Lime water disinfection?
If these methods were really implemented throughout the city, how much manpower and material resources would be needed?
Is it worth spending so much time and money on those bastards in the city?
After reading it once, I looked at the next one, a set of four books and five classics. This kind of classics handed down from ancient times should naturally be printed.
What's behind? "Three Character Classic"? Written by Lu Bu?
"I didn't expect you to be able to write books and establish scriptures, Fengxian!" Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lu Bu laughed: "It's just a pamphlet for children's enlightenment. It made Brother Meng De laugh!"
"Oh? So that's it, then I'm going to read it!"
Cao Cao opened the Three Character Classic and read a few sentences. As expected, it was catchy and easy to understand. They were all simple words, and it was indeed suitable for the enlightenment of young children.
I took a peek at Lu Bu and wondered if some Confucian scholar who had nothing to do and had nothing to do but had enough to eat had written the "Three Character Classic". Then Lu Bu took it as his own and claimed that it was written by him, printing and spreading it.
In my heart, I admire Lu Bu for being so leisurely and carefree even if he doesn't fight hard!
Yin smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that Fengxian not only had unrivaled martial arts skills, but also had a wealth of knowledge! This "Three Character Classic" is really excellent. When my children grow up, I will let them use it to learn Chinese characters!"
Lu Bu smiled modestly: "Mengde is overrated, I just did it for fun. There is another book below, which is also something I wrote occasionally. Please give me some advice, Brother Mengde!"
"Oh? Wait for me to read it now!" Cao Cao continued to pick up the next book with great interest.
The title of this book is "Collected Poems of Lu Fengxian"!
When I opened it, the first thing I saw was the song "Viewing the Sea"!
"Langya faces the east to view the vast sea. The water is sluggish, but the mountains and islands stand tall.
There are many trees and lush grass. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
The movement of the sun and the moon can appear within it; the brilliant stars and stars can appear within it.
Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations. "
Cao Cao's cultural literacy is quite high. After reading it three times in a row, he actually brought into the heroic scene of himself standing on the seaside, with thousands of troops behind him, just waiting for his order to pacify the world!
I couldn't help but clapped my hands and praised: "What a poem, what a poem! Fengxian's poem is grand, simple in language and desolate and tragic at the same time. It is really a rare good poem!"
This poem was originally written by Cao Cao when he led his army to defeat Wuhuan ten years later and passed by Jieshi Mountain when he returned to his army.
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard Cao Cao praising his poem.
Because he said: "Brother Meng De is ridiculous again. I'm not afraid of your jokes. This is what I did on a whim when I went to Langya Beach to play with some concubines. I laughed, laughed!"
"I……"
The picture full of disinfecting energy that Cao Cao had just imagined suddenly changed into a picture of Lu Bu wearing large flower pants and hugging beautiful women on the beach, and he almost couldn't breathe!
"Ahem... Fengxian is so elegant, I admire him, I admire him..."
Cao Cao recalled that he had agreed that after Yuan Shu was driven away, Yuan Shu's wife Feng Fangnu would be his own, but in the end, Lu Bu took it as his own, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Because I pretended to continue reading, the next song was "Dan Ge Xing".
"Singing to wine, life is so long! It's like morning dew, it's so bitter every day.
Generosity should be shown as generosity, and worries will be unforgettable. How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.
Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin. But for your sake, I still ponder this..."
This poem was written by Cao Cao in the 13th year of Jian'an (208). At that time, Cao Cao had basically pacified the north and was about to eliminate the Sun and Liu regimes in the south.
Cao Cao personally led an army of 830,000 people to the north bank of the Yangtze River. After connecting boats with iron ropes on the river, he looked at the mighty momentum of the army and thought that he would soon be able to pacify the world and unify the Central Plains. Therefore, he was so confident that he wrote this poem "" which has been passed down through the ages. "Dan Ge Xing".
Now that I see it appearing in Lu Bu's collection of poems, I feel that this poem is kind and familiar, as if Lu Bu has spoken out his heart for me!
Especially the last sentence, "The Duke of Zhou spits out nourishment, and the world returns to its heart", it directly hits the depths of Cao Cao's soul!
I can't believe that Lu Bu is my close friend, Cao Mengde! Have the same ambition as me!
Thinking about it again, I suddenly felt something was wrong!
If you have the same ambition as yourself, isn't that just trying to dominate the world?
If two people have the same ambitions, they can become like-minded friends.
However, both of them want to conquer the world, so in the future they will only be in dire straits!
A respectable opponent, a terrible enemy...
Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu with increasingly complicated eyes.
