Still here.
Kong Rong closed his eyes lightly, put his hand on his beard, and stroked it. As if he was deliberating what to say, he stopped in the end.
he spoke.
"Since General Cao came, the chaos in Qingzhou has been rectified. Now, the yellow scarves in Qingzhou have been surrendered, and the rest of the state has gradually settled down. I wonder what General Cao's plan is next?"
What are your plans
Kong Rong's question made Cao Cao happy and his eyes lit up.
He thought that when Kong Rong asked him this question, he had let go of his guard against him and was going to give him some advice.
Reaching out to pick up the teapot, he filled Kong Rong with tea.
"I'm struggling in Qingzhou, and it's hard to move. If Mr. Kong is willing to help me, these things won't be a worry."
Kong Rong is a well-known scholar in Qingzhou. With his help, Cao Cao would not need to be so restrained in doing things in Qingzhou.
The sound of tea being poured into the cup echoed in the somewhat empty hall, until the tea was almost overflowing. Cao Cao put down the teapot and looked at Kong Rong expectantly.
"I don't know what advice Mr. Kong has for what happened after this?"
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Kong Rong knew that he had misunderstood. He was silent for a while, and let out a slight breath.
After all, this Qingzhou is the king's land.
"General Cao, now the chaos in Qingzhou has been settled, and the people's livelihood has improved. The general should lead the army to hunt down the thieves, and he should take the lead."
Cao Cao was stunned, he didn't understand what he meant.
"The general's merits should be reported to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will bestow rewards. Therefore, I came today to ask the general to report the status quo of Qingzhou. First, to stabilize Qingzhou, and second, so that the imperial court can reward the general."
Report to the court.
What Kong Rong said was that Cao Cao deserved a reward from the court for his meritorious service.
But in fact, if Cao Cao reported to the imperial court at this time and let the imperial court enter Qingzhou to stabilize it, it would mean giving up Qingzhou.
With the current imperial court, it is impossible for Cao Cao to be the governor of Qingzhou, but someone who can be easily controlled will be sent.
If it is reported, it may be time for Cao Cao to lead his troops to leave, or even worse.
"Tick tock." The teapot in Cao Cao's hand tilted, and the water dripped from the spout and fell on the table.
In the silent hall, the sound of dripping water was very obvious.
"Heh." Cao Cao smiled wryly and put down his teacup.
"Sir, you know very well that I can't agree."
Kong Rong lowered his head and did not make a sound.
Cao Cao pursed his lips, propped himself up with his hands on his knees, and had an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Probably because of some loneliness, he sighed.
"I treat my husband with sincerity, why does my husband treat me like this?"
Kong Rong didn't answer Cao Cao's words, let alone answer, but got up slowly.
"Since General Cao refuses to agree, Kong Rong will leave first."
With that said, he stood up and prepared to leave.
The two were originally on two different positions, and Kong Rong was not prepared to back down, and he also knew that Cao Cao could not back down. Since Cao Cao refuses to report, then he will come.
In this kind of chaotic world, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong, but each has his own ambition. He, Kong Rong, is Hanchen.
"gentlemen!"
Kong Rong didn't take a few steps outside the hall, when Cao Cao's voice came from behind, calling him.
The footsteps stopped, and Kong Rong stood in front of the hall.
Cao Cao got up and looked at Kong Rong and asked deeply.
"Sir, what's wrong with Cao Cao being here in Qingzhou?"
"General Cao." Kong Rong raised his head: "What do you mean?"
There was no reply for a while, and Kong Rong was about to leave when Kong Rong's voice came.
"I'm asking." Cao Cao's tone became more serious: "I, Cao Cao, what's wrong with me?"
His voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the yard, and it was rare to see him lose his composure like this.
He didn't understand what Cao Cao didn't do well.
What did he, Cao Cao, do wrong that people say he is loyal and traitorous
What's wrong with him, Cao Cao, that he is said to be the queen of eunuchs
What's wrong with him, Cao Cao, that he treats each other sincerely, but makes people feel like guarding against thieves
Kong Rong turned around, but saw Cao Cao looking at him, the teacup on the table was upside down, probably knocked down by Cao Cao when he got up. Tea dripped down the side of the table.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, I led the army to the south, smashed the Yellow Turban, and beheaded tens of thousands. Compared with me, Cao Cao, I asked the rest of the troops how?"
Cao Cao looked directly at Kong Rong and asked.
"Dong Zhuo entered the court and acted perversely. I would not be with him. I changed my name and fled to Chenliu. I scattered my family wealth and joined forces with righteous soldiers. Compared with me, Cao Cao, how can I ask the doctor of the court?"
"The crusade against Dong Zhuo received a lot of response. As for the tiger prison, the princes did not move forward. The young emperor was forced, and I, Cao Cao, went after him alone. Compared with me, Cao Cao, I asked the princes from all walks of life how?"
"Now that Dong Zhuo has been punished, the princes are in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. I have broken through the poisonous siege, fixed the chaos in Qingzhou, and repaired the people's livelihood. Compared with Qingzhou today, I ask the common people in the world how?"
One after another, Kong Rong was stopped by Cao Cao's question, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Mr. Kong, I'll tell you." Cao Cao took a breath and continued.
"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people from all walks of life lost more than they won, and the Han Dynasty collapsed. When Dong Zhuo entered the court, the scholar-bureaucrats just forbeared, so that the government was in danger. The alliance of princes, each with their own selfishness, even raised the soldiers of the world, but no one dared Chase Dong Zhuo and let him suffer from cholera!"
"As for the people in the world." The voice stopped for a moment, and then he said word by word: "Sir, the world is suffering at this time."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he lowered his hand.
He really didn't understand that he, Cao Cao, was not doing well enough.
Kong Rong stood in front of the hall in a daze, he couldn't answer, but how could he not know the question Cao Cao asked
But this world, as he saw it, was broken.
"Sir, I'm tired. I'm sorry to see you off soon." Cao Cao waved his hand, Kong Rong stood for a while, saluted and walked out of the hall.
Cao Cao stayed in the hall, sat down a little weakly, picked up the overturned teacup and poured a glass of water. Looking at his appearance in the water, he smiled wryly.
His relationship with Kong Rong should be irretrievable.
"Oh, if Yuan let them be here at this time, I must ask Mr. Shang to go have a drink together."
Kong Rong was walking on the small path in the yard, walking unhappily, probably thinking about something.
The words Cao Cao asked him in the classroom seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
He was a little confused, was Cao Cao wrong, or was he wrong, or were they all wrong
"Sir, I have something to ask you." A childish voice came, it should be the voice of a child.
The voice came from a side courtyard.
A maid walked past Kong Rong with her head bowed, and Kong Rong stopped her.
"What is going on in this yard?"
The maid turned her head to salute, and replied: "It's the gentleman in the house who is teaching the young master to read."
"Oh, so, I see, let's go."
Kong Rong nodded and told the maid to leave, while he stopped and continued to listen to the voices in the courtyard.
He wanted to listen to this lesson. He had grown up reading and listening to it.
Listening to students and teachers in class always calms his mind.
"Sir, I have something to ask you." Cao Pi raised his hand and said.
The strange rule of raising your hand to ask questions is unique to Gu Nan's class.
"Huh?" Gu Nan was sorting out his books and preparing to give a lecture, when he heard Cao Pi's words and looked over.
"I have something to ask."
"Sir, why haven't you seen my father recently?" Cao Pi frowned and asked cautiously.
"I don't have any reason, why do I go to see your father?"
Gu Nan was a little strange, why did she go to see Cao Cao
"Why." Cao Pi pulled his mouth, seemingly helpless.
"Sir, do you know how many people have come to see me recently, all in order to learn from my father."
He looked at Gu Nan, although it was not obvious, but there was some worry in his eyes.
"Sir, if you don't care so much, aren't you afraid that my father will use others and neglect you in the future?"
I don't know how such older children would ask such questions.
Gu Nan burst out laughing, she thought it was something, and shook her head.
"I found your father, not for this."
Even if Cao Pi is mature, there are times when he doesn't understand.
For example, now, he can't understand Gu Nan's words.
"Then why did you find my father?"
Cao Ang on the side also turned his ears slightly.
Holding the sword in her arms, Lingqi remembered that her master once told her why she was looking for Cao Cao, and she replied seriously.
"The master said that the reason for looking for your father is to find a long-term meal, eh."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Nan covered her mouth with sweat.
"Food?" Cao Pi obviously didn't understand.
"Ahem, let me say it." Gu Nan let go of the dazed Lingqi, coughed, and raised her eyebrows.
"I found your father mainly for two things."
Two things, Cao Pi frowned and listened.
"One is to change the world, and the other is that I want a school."
Gu Nan's tone was very serious, and she was not prepared to lie to these two boys.
Of course, the meal ticket does not count.
"A school that is enough for people from all over the world to learn."
There was no sound in the courtyard.
Change the world
Cao Ang's expression was excited, and he shook hands. He will definitely follow his father and change the world.
Kong Rong outside the courtyard stood there blankly, wondering if he heard it wrong.
Cao Pi was stunned for a while, but suddenly laughed.
"Hehehe, sir, not to mention how difficult the first thing is, it's the second thing, I think it's impossible to do."
"Zi Huan." Cao Ang put his hand on Cao Pi's shoulder.
This kid is really troublesome, Gu Nan asked in a harmonious voice.
"Why do you think you can't do it?"
"First of all, no matter how many schools should be built to be enough for the people of the world, how many books do you think there should be just for the people of the world to read?"
How much should there be, ten thousand volumes, definitely not enough, ten thousand volumes, probably not enough.
There are not so many books in this world.
What Cao Pi said was the truth, Cao Ang also hesitated to speak.
Gu Nan's wish is too grand, even people dare not think about it.
"What if I have it?" Gu Nan smiled.
Cao Pi was stunned by the laugh.
"How about we make another bet?"
It's time for her to teach this kid how to learn to be smarter because he lost a bet just now.
"It's a bet." Cao Pi put his hands behind his back and straightened up: "Sir, what are you betting on?"
"If I get enough books for people in the world to read, how about you help me build that school?"
Gu Nan put down the textbooks she was sorting out.
"Okay!" Cao Pi replied without even thinking about it, and asked back.
"What if sir loses?"
Last time he lost to Gu Nan, he had been brooding over it all the time, this time, he was sure to win.
"What if I lose?"
Gu Nan walked up to Cao Pi.
Bending down and looking down at him.
After a while, he stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead with his fingers.
"Hehe, if I lose, you can do whatever you want." Anyway, she couldn't lose.
Cao Pi's forehead was slightly red, and his face was also red.
But he didn't back down, watching Gu Nan walk back to his seat slowly, looking at Cao Ang pretending to be calm.
"Brother, I will win this time."
"Master will do it." Lingqi on the side said, for her, she would believe no matter what Gu Nan said.
Cao Pi knew that there was no way to explain anything to her, so he snorted softly and sat down at his desk.
"Then you just wait and see."
Kong Rong, who was standing outside the side courtyard, thought in a daze, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled up.
He was laughing, there was actually a person in this world who had the same wish as him.
Is it a school that can teach people all over the world to study
What a great wish.
