Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 726

"By the way, my lord, we just heard you say it's done? What exactly is it done? Could it be... you have it?"

Pang Tong's eyes gradually became frightened, the lord still has this ability?

Cao Cao glared at him coldly: "There is you! I mean my new book on Meng De, I finished it!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a thick book from his arms and placed it in front of the two of them to flip through it.

Now that Caoying is rich in paper, the bamboo slips have basically been eliminated.

Xu Chu was not interested in the book, so he pouted and stood at attention.

If you want him to read, it's better to listen to Tai Shici crying ghosts and wolves making noise.

Although he... sings very badly.

Even going into epilepsy when singing, it's the same as opening an altar, but it's better than reading a book.

On the contrary, Pang Tong laughed flatteringly, flattering each other one after another.

"My lord is really amazing! You actually wrote a book on war, which will surely be handed down for hundreds of generations and be praised by the world."

"Hahaha! Keep a low profile and let the whole world know!"

Cao Cao shook his book triumphantly, and spoke out his virtuous brother's pretense.

Hearing this, Pang Tong suddenly realized.

Let the world know?I understand!

"My lord, I don't know if this book...can you show it to us all? So that we can learn from the lord! After all, you are our role model."

Pang Tong asked tentatively, for fear that Cao Cao would lose his temper.

For a literati these days, books are the most important thing.

Similarly, books will also become family heirlooms of the gentry, and those who have read the books will be superior to others.

Under normal circumstances, one's own books would not be shown to others unless the relationship was very good.

Cao Cao looked at the book in his hand, then at Pang Tong, who was thirsty for knowledge, and nodded slowly.

"Take it and let you see it! Be careful not to damage it, I have been writing this stuff for several years."

"Okay! I promise to let our colleagues see the talent of the lord!"

Pang Tong was overjoyed. This was definitely a good opportunity to flatter him. He felt that he had understood Cao Cao's meaning.

Seeing Pang Tong leave, Cao Cao shook his head and looked at Xu Chu.

"Zhongkang, what has my virtuous brother been doing these two days?"

"Yuanyi, I'm working, and I'm happier than anyone else with my lovely wife."

Xu Chu replied respectfully.

Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing: "We are the most leisurely kid here."

"My lord...Lu Bu, Wang Yue, Feng Xiao, Zihe, Zhang Fei, and Lao Dian are also all idle, and the general thinks that our Cao Ying...is a bit like a gathering place for idle talents."

Xu Chu also laughed honestly, but it was such a working environment that gave them a strong sense of belonging.

Cao Cao didn't care too much, he knew the virtues of his own generals very well.

"Go, go to the conference hall and let them discuss the countermeasures. How to win Guiyang in the snowy day is the most important thing."

"This Liu Bei will not be destroyed for a day, and my heart will be restless for a day!"

Cao Cao took Xu Chu up and went to the meeting hall.

On the other end, Pang Tong, also holding Meng De's new book, went to the barracks to promote it and came back.

After reading it, everyone applauded it, no matter whether it was really well written or not, they had to say yes anyway, it was written by Cao Cao after all.

This is not flattery, this is the worldly way.

As long as the flattery is good, promotion and fortune are indispensable.

Pang Tong was in a good mood after promoting the art of war for Cao Cao. He had already imagined himself being promoted.

As a minister, you should learn to figure out the mind of your lord.

On the way back to his residence, Pang Tong read the book as he walked.

"This book...is really remarkable, it's all about the protagonist's experience! It's great and worth promoting."

Bang!

Pang Tong buried his head in his book and didn't pay much attention to the road, when he was suddenly knocked down by something.

"Oh shit! What sneaked up on Lao Tzu's egg? Do you know who I am?"

Pang Tong fell to the ground, covered his vitals with his hands, and roared in unbearable pain.

As soon as the words fell, a voice more arrogant than him also sounded.

"Made! Do you know who I am? I'm from Yizhou. Don't drive. If you don't give way to me, that's fine!"

"You actually ran into me blindly. I also thought this was Cao Ying. If you want to let me go in Yizhou, you must be chopped off!"

Chapter 827 The Unforgettable Zhang Song

Pang Tong laughed happily, because finally someone was uglier than him, the number one ugly man in Cao Ying.

Not only that, but the other party... is also very short!

No more than 1.2 meters tall, no wonder he was able to sneak attack on his eggs accurately without being noticed by him.

In addition, Zhang Song walked with a limp, like a duck.

Seeing him laughing so happily, the other party became furious.

"Looking at your attire, you should be from Cao Ying, right? Let me tell you, I'm Yizhou, don't drive Zhang Song!"

"I came here this time to give your lord Cao Cao a chance. How dare you humiliate me so rudely? Are you courting death?"

Zhang Song pointed at Pang Tong with one hand on his hips, looking domineering.

He is the second in command in Xishu, he is used to being arrogant and powerful, and this time he came to Cao Ying well prepared, he believed that Cao Cao would definitely treat him courteously.

Looking at the other person's brow? Pointed head, nose with teeth exposed, and less than five feet short, Pang Tong was not angry at all.

Pang Tong was extraordinarily magnanimous to the only person uglier than him.

"All right, all right, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let my egg block your old way! Your lord doesn't remember the mistakes of villains!"

Pang Tong said with a suppressed smile.

Seeing the opponent's posture so low, Zhang Song's anger dissipated a lot.

"You are sensible! Seeing that you are so ugly, I will forgive you today!"

"And... if you take me to find your master, I, Zhang Song, can give you a chance!"

Zhang Song's demeanor is arrogant, and wherever he goes, he is a superior existence.

And as long as he throws out his hole cards, Cao Cao will probably ask him for help.

That was a benefit that no prince could refuse, so he didn't need to be too polite to Pang Tong.

He thought that Pang Tong would happily take him to see Cao Cao, but Pang Tong smiled and waved his hand.

"Zhang Chou... Cough, Mr. Zhang, I don't have time today! I have a mission for my lord, and I need to promote his new art of war for him. You can go to the city guard's mansion to find it yourself!"

"For the sake of the fact that we are both ugly people, let me warn you, don't be so arrogant when you meet the rest of my Cao Ying, otherwise you will suffer!"

After Pang Tong finished speaking, he picked up the art of war and wanted to turn around and leave.

As long as the other party dared to talk to Cao Ying's people in such a posture, they would definitely not be able to get away with a severe beating.

Back then...he was so proud.

But society smoothed his edges and turned him into a sycophant...

But when he left, Zhang Song reached out to stop him.

Zhang Song frowned and looked at Pang Tong with interest.

"The art of war? Then Cao Cao can write the art of war? Come, show me!"

"I, Zhang Song, are also proficient in the art of war. Let me give him palm eyes to see how good he is!"

Without further ado, Zhang Song snatched the book of war, and read it.

Pang Tong was furious and wanted to take it back, but he didn't expect that Zhang Song was extremely agile!

Pang Tong snatched it several times but failed to snatch it. Instead, he was so tired that he was out of breath, so he simply stopped snatching it and let Zhang Song watch.

A few minutes later, Zhang Song closed Meng De's new book and was greatly shocked.

There are indeed many viewpoints and strategies in the book, all of which are extremely ingenious.

However, as a madman, it is of course impossible to admit that others are great. Only by belittling the other party as much as possible can one appear unique and special.

To put it simply...he wanted to pretend.

Zhang Song laughed disdainfully, with arrogance written all over his face.

"Tch...why do you think! Your lord is really good at bragging!"

"He is so thick-skinned, why did he create it? The content of this book can be recited even by children in our Sichuan!"

"Obviously it was written by an unknown art of war master during the Warring States period. Cao Cao is just a plagiarist!"

Zhang Song shook his head for a while, his eyes full of contempt.

Pang Tong frowned slightly and didn't believe it. He saw Cao Cao holding back the book like he was constipated.

How could it be false? He and Xu Chu are still witnesses, and many of the things in it are Cao Cao's experience.

"What are you talking about? It's against the law to spread rumors in Cao Ying, especially if you spread rumors about my lord. Are you tired of doing it?"

"Oh, don't you believe me? In that case, let me recite it to you!"

"I have read thousands of volumes of books, what kind of military books have I not read? I say plagiarism is plagiarism! I am an expert!"

Zhang Song's eyes were shining brightly, he opened his mouth and began to recite.

There was no pause between every word and sentence, and the recitation was extremely smooth and silky.

The more Pang Tong heard it, the more horrified he became, because the things on Zhang Song's back were exactly the same as the new Meng De book in his hand.

"How? Is what I said false?"

Zhang Song looked at Pang Tong playfully.

Pang Tong was extremely shocked. He felt...he had discovered the big news.

Has this book been published before?Cao Cao is actually a plagiarist?

As soon as the news got out, Cao Cao's reputation would definitely be discredited. Isn't this just for fame?

Regardless of whether it was plagiarism or not, Pang Tong felt that he had to do a good job of flattering this time, and he had to report the matter to Cao Cao as soon as possible.

"Let's go! I won't go to publicity anymore, you and I will go to the city guard's mansion to meet my lord."

Pulling Zhang Song, Pang Tong turned around and walked towards the city guard's mansion.

Zhang Song's eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn't help but praise his wit.

The two went to the Chengshou Mansion to search around, but found no one. Pang Tong took Zhang Song directly to Xia Houzhe's residence.

Sure enough, Cao Cao and all the generals were found eating hot pot and barbecue in his yard.

"My lord! This man is Yizhou Biejia, and he wants to see you on something."

Pang Tong stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and then told Cao Cao everything that had happened before.

After Cao Cao listened, his brows gradually furrowed and he looked at Zhang Song, who had ugly eyes.

"Plagiarism? There's no reason for that. I spent countless days and nights writing this. How could it be plagiarism!"

"Hehe, don't you believe me? Then I'll recite it again!"

Zhang Song smiled contemptuously, not paying attention to the identity of Prime Minister Cao Cao at all.

Because he... is confident.
