Chapter 66

As an envoy of Jiangdong, Zhang Zhen is elegant and elegant. He is outstanding in the world.

When Cao Cao saw Zhang, his eyes showed a touch of joy.

In the past, when Zhang Zhen was sent to Xuxian County, Cao Cao left him, thinking that with the passage of time, he would be able to use him for his own purposes. However, Cao Cao's plan failed. After Sun Quan came to power, Zhang Zhen proposed to return to Jiangdong.

Cao Cao did not want to force him to stay, so he allowed Zhang to return to Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhen went to the hall, big sleeve a brush, arched: "Jiangdong Zhang Zhen, see Sikong."

"Mr. Zigang, please have a seat!"

As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, the servant took Zhang Zhen to the first seat on the right.

Pound and Zhang made eye contact and nodded slightly.

Two people know each other, a look, understand each other's mind.

Cao Cao glanced over the crowd, took up the wine bottle and said in a loud voice, "Pang Gong of Jingzhou and Mr. Jiang Dongzi Gang have arrived. Now that we are all here, let's respect Mr. Pang and Mr. Zigang. "

"Please

Cao Cao looked up and drank it.

Everyone in the hall drank wine one after another, with a strong smile on their faces.

As if nothing had happened before.

Cao Cao put down his wine bottle and said with a strong smile: "it's rare for envoys from Jingzhou and Jiangdong to get together, especially this evening when the moon is like a disc. I suggest that poetry be used to stimulate the interest. "

Guo Jia's face was a little pale, but his eyes were very bright. With a smile on his lips, he echoed: "my Lord is right, there is a moon and wine, there can be no poetry."

Xun Yu, Xun you and others agreed.

Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun and other generals in the army also made noise one after another.

The scene in the hall became lively.

"Lord, there are months, wine and poetry, but we can't do without rules. I suggest that we set rules."

In the hall, someone spoke again.

Liu xiuxun was speaking to Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's confidant.

Cheng Yu is nearly 70 years old. His hair and beard are white, but he is energetic and healthy.

Under the command of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu was one of the few people who was not only Cao Cao's confidant counselor, but also the leader of the war. As a minister, Cheng Yu participated in the management of government affairs, and was worshipped as general Fenwei by Cao Cao. He took charge of the army and managed the military and political affairs in Yanzhou.

His rights are no less than those of Xun Yu and others.

Cao Cao asked, "what kind of rules does Zhong De Gong want to make?"

Cheng Yu stroked the white beard under his jaw and said slowly, "the best way to drink and write poems is one-on-one."

"For example, if the Lord asks for filial piety and poetry, he has to write a poem before he can ask for filial piety. After fengxiao wrote poems, the Lord wanted to ask Wenruo to write poems. He had to write another poem to make Wenruo write poems. "

Cheng Yu said: "the rules are simple, but they can increase the fun."

After that, Cheng Yu took a look at Pang Degong and Zhang Dan, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Cao Cao had a strong smile in his eyes and said without hesitation: "the proposal of Zhong De Gong is very good. The rules are simple and easy to operate. That's it. Do you understand the rules, gentlemen? "

The crowd answered with another burst of laughter.

In Liu Xiu's eyes, there was a trace of dignity.

Cheng Yu's suggestion seems very good, but it is very unfavorable to the Jingzhou and Jiangdong missions.

The reason is very simple. There are too few people in Jingzhou.

In the hall, there are dozens of civil and military officers under Cao Cao. If everyone writes a poem, and then they all go to pound or Zhang, it means that pound or Zhang must write dozens of poems.

In a short time, it's very unfair to make dozens of poems.

This is exactly what Cao Cao hoped to see.

The present arrangement is the real downfall of power, the real killing of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

"Lord, I think of a poem. I want to consult Pang Gong."

With a smile, Yang Xiu was the first to stand up. He went up to pound, pondered for a long time, and then read aloud the poem he had come up with.

After the recitation, Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "please teach Pang Gong!"

Pang Degong also has outstanding literary talent. With a smile, he commented on Yang Xiu's poem and wrote a poem.

The first one, that's it.

Then, Cao Cao's counselor Mao stood up and found Zhang.

After Mao's poem, Zhang also wrote a poem.

Cao Cao's civil servants, one by one, got up enthusiastically. Then they found Pang Degong and Zhang Dan and presented their poems one after another. But after more than ten people, whether it was Mr. pound or Mr. Zhang, his forehead began to sweat.

More than ten civil servants came to ask for advice, and the two of them shared an average of five or six poems.

From the beginning to the end, the quality of poetry declined rapidly.

Even if full of economic strength, it is difficult to cope with such a situation.Liu Xiu sat behind him. Seeing this scene, he quickly turned his mind and thought about the solution.

If we don't stop it, neither Jiangdong nor Jingzhou will be able to face it. Even though Cao Cao bullied people by the number of people, it was Jingzhou and Jiangdong who lost face.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, drank wine and looked at the lively scene with a strong smile in his eyes.

This scene is so good!

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly fell on Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiucai is quick in thinking and is a first-class poet. He wants to see how Liu Xiu deals with it.

In addition, Pang Degong was Liu Xiu's teacher. Pang Degong was very hard up. Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Xiu would sit by and ignore him. If Liu Xiu just sits by and ignores him, he is just outstanding in literary talent.

"Sir Sikong, I don't think it's fair."

Suddenly, Liu Xiu got up and stood out from behind Pang Degong.

At this time, Cao Cao's literary officials were all quiet, including those who had just got up and were ready to go to Pang Degong or Zhang Dan, and they all went back to their seats.

The official standing in the lobby was looking at Liu Xiu.

Cao Cao looked calm and asked with a smile, "what do you think is unfair?"

Although he said that, Cao Cao was very happy. At least he was puzzled by Pang and Zhang. Before the banquet, Cao Cao discussed with his counsellors and made unfair rules.

Cao Cao did it on purpose.

Liu Xiu points it out directly, but Cao Cao wants to see it. What is Liu Xiu going to say?

Liu xiulang said: "all the civil and military officials are under the command of Sikong. Now, they come to toast and chant poems one by one. We Jingzhou people don't have a chance to toast. It's really inappropriate. Well, please all the people under Sikong's account sit back. Liu Xiu will toast one by one and recite poems one by one. As the saying goes, "far away is a guest. We come all the way. Sikong has to give us a chance."

WOW!

In the hall, it exploded.

Looking at Liu Xiu's eyes one by one, he felt even more incredible.

Liu Xiu means to let all the people sit back and stare at Liu Xiu to toast and recite poems. It means that every time Liu Xiu sees a person, he has to write a poem.

In this case, it is very difficult.

No one under the command of Cao Cao dare say that he can accomplish it.

In Cao Cao's eyes, he also showed a solemn look.

However, Cao Cao was more curious about what kind of poems Liu Xiu would make.

Cao Cao brushed his sleeves and said, "gentlemen, we have to respect the guests' demands. All of you are back at the table, waiting for Mr. Liu to toast. "

From calling him by his first name to calling Mr. Liu.

At least, Cao Cao was convinced by Liu Xiu's practice and thought that Liu Xiu had great courage.

Pound looked at Liu Xiu with a worried look in his eyes. He knew that Liu Xiucai was quick thinking, but this was not solved by one or two poems. He had to make dozens of poems, which was too difficult.

Liu xiutou waved his hand with reassuring eyes and said, "come on, follow me with drinks."

Immediately, a servant came up, carrying a plate with wine bottles and jugs, specially pouring wine for Liu Xiu.
