006 A Jade Branch Suddenly Appears
A real big-name figure in the Three Kingdoms has appeared!
At that moment, Wu Fan had the urge to pull his clothes forward, let Cao Cao wave his pen and sign an enlarged version of his signature from his chest to his back.
But in the end reason defeated the impulse, he still held back.
I saw Cao Cao walking towards him and praised:
"You are skilled in bowing skills and extraordinary in your heart. You are really a rare good general in the world! How dare you ask for your honorable name?"
Wu Fan responded with a smile:
"I've been awarded too much. I'm the next name Wu's name Fan and the courtesy name Mengxuan. You are the famous Lord Cao Cao, right? I've been honored for a long time. Today I'm really lucky to see you."
Like Hua Xiong, Cao Cao has a good reputation and is also a famous scholar, so naturally he doesn't think that something was wrong with Wu Fan suddenly calling out his name.
With a hearty smile, Cao Cao said:
"Your Excellency is so polite. I hit it off at first sight. I wonder if I can take up some of your time and have a good talk?"
The character of Cao Cao is the best example of breaking the concept of family status during the Three Kingdoms period and applying only talents, and he also cherishes talents in particular. In this regard, it is something that all the kings of the Three Kingdoms cannot compare with.
Although he is still working under Dong Zhuo and does not have independent troops, his bones and personality are consistent. After seeing Wu Fan's charm with an arrow, he naturally appreciates Wu Fan.
After receiving Cao Cao's invitation, Wu Fan thought about it. Anyway, he had nothing to do this afternoon, so let's talk to this big name. Moreover, many of Cao Cao's skills are not available. If he has a trustworthy relationship with him, he can also learn skills from him in the process of interacting with him in the future.
In short, this narrative is beneficial but not harmful.
After thinking for a while, Wu Fan accepted Cao Cao's invitation.
The two then walked and chatted in the residence. The topics they talked about were very broad, because their command, intelligence, politics, and personalities were relatively close, and they talked about them in common. From the general trend of the world, to the decline of the Han Dynasty, to the people's hearts, to the goals and ambitions of various magistrates, they all talked about them.
During this period, Wu Fan used indirect methods several times to test Cao Cao's ambitions and whether he had the idea of having troops to be independent. Cao Cao looked at his side and cleverly avoided it. For an old man with a political ability of 96, it was difficult to reveal his background through conversation.
Although Cao Cao's background was not revealed, Wu Fan knew at least one thing very well, that is, Cao Cao was not satisfied with Dong Zhuo. This was not only reflected in his loyalty in his personal information, but also in the process of the conversation between the two, Cao Cao did not ask Wu Fan to log in from beginning to end.
Compared with Tian Feng, Cao Cao's comprehensive intelligence and politics is much higher. He could not have imagined how much help would be if a talent like Wu Fan joined his power. The only reason why he did not ask Wu Fan for a login invitation was that he was not satisfied with his master.
However, being unsatisfied does not mean that he will be independent. It can only be said that he and Dong Zhuo are incompatible. Maybe he will switch to other magistrates or even step down from the field in the future.
In short, through this narrative, although Wu Fan felt that he was quite close to Cao Cao, he still could not place his target on Cao Cao.
Nearly an hour passed, and the two finally finished the conversation and said goodbye to each other. When they left, Wu Fan noticed that Cao Cao had been standing there, looking at his back as he was leaving. This was a great courtesy for a man of a grass-roots man.
The ancients' spirit of falling in love with sincerity made Wu Fan, who is a human being, unable to bear it. At the same time, deep in Wu Fan's heart, something called touching is being quietly released.
The information prompts received tell Wu Fan that through this narration, the relationship between him and Cao Cao was quickly promoted from "none" to "confidant". The relationship can be improved so much through just one conversation, which shows that the two are very similar in nature, with a deviation of at least less than 3. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms X", Cao Cao's value of appearance is 25. However, after traveling to this world, Wu Fan found that the value of appearance is invisible, whether he or others, and is a hidden value.
After returning to the tavern and giving up the task of "teaching martial arts", Wu Fan hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was almost a day before he could come out and it was time to go home.
Wu Fan's family lives in a remote slum area in Luoyang City.
Although Luoyang is at the foot of the emperor, the Han Dynasty, which experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was no longer as strong as before. Behind the prosperity of the emperor's capital, the poor are not uncommon in remote corners that are not noticed by people.
The wind and dust rushed home, pushed open the yard gate, and as soon as I entered the yard, I heard that Wu’s father and Wu’s mother were arguing.
"That Lord Tian is a famous scholar in Hebei. He has far-sighted thinking and can he see if he is not bad? He said that our son should be good, and maybe this is an opportunity given to our Wu family by God! The wishes of the ancestors of the Wu family for many years can finally be realized in Fan'er!"
"Fan'er is our only son. How could he send him to the battlefield just because of the words of Lord Tian? I never expect my son to be a general. I just hope that the whole family will be together regardless of life or death, and that food and clothing are enough."
At this moment, Wu Fan walked in front of them.
When he saw Wu Fan, Wu's father hurriedly said:
"Fan'er, you're back. Last night I went to visit Lord Tian. This morning he came to our house again, just to let you go back to Hebei with him and surrender to Yuan Shao. Lord Tian values you very much and said that you are a talented person who is hard to find. If you can devote yourself to a master of the official position, you will definitely achieve great achievements. Fan'er, what do you think?"
Wu's mother wanted to say something at this time, but Wu's father quickly turned his eyes, meaning that Wu Fan could set himself. Although Wu's mother was very reluctant, in ancient society, women had a very low status and could only follow.
Wu Fan shook his head and said:
"Yuan Shao is harsh and brave, and is willing to make plans without decisions. He cherishes his life when he accomplishes great things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits. He is not a hero."
After saying this, Wu's father and Wu's mother suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Wu Fan in disbelief. Wu's father said in surprise:
"Fan'er, this... is your evaluation of Yuan Shao?"
Wu Fan immediately realized that he was talking nonsense. This was what Cao Cao said when he was evaluating Liu Bei for the time when Wu Fan was watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he was talking about heroes. Not to mention Wu Fan in the past, he could not even comment on himself now.
However, this negligence caused Wu Fan to come up with an idea, which was to use the subject to make use of the evaluation and put this evaluation on the Taoist priest who did not exist at all, which was the Taoist priest's evaluation of Yuan Shao. From this morning when Wu's father and mother were willing to let themselves go out alone, they all had some faith in the Taoist priest. In this way, they might be able to dispel their idea of letting them surrender to Yuan Shao.
Sure enough, after Wu Fan said that this evaluation came from the mysterious Taoist priest, Wu's father was silent. Wu's mother said happily:
"It's good, since that's the case, we won't defect to that Lord Yuan Shao. While the Luoyang area is still peaceful, let's decide the marriage between Fan'er and Yuzhi. Next month's fourth day is a zodiac day. Why not let the two children get married that day, so we can hold our grandchildren earlier."
Yuzhi? Wu Fan searched Wu Fan's memories of his previous life that he had carried, but he found no information about Yuzhi. It seemed that the memories he carried were incomplete. I had to ask Wu's mother:
"Who is Yuzhi?"
Wu's mother poked Wu Fan's head with her hand and said:
"You kid, you have learned to pretend to be crazy. You used to be talking about marrying Yuzhi as your wife every day, but we didn't agree and still fought with us. We agreed because we really couldn't defeat you, so we agreed. Now you asked who they are."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the neighbor's house, lowered his voice:
"If Yuzhi hears this, I will be sure to be with you."
Wu Fan looked puzzled. This Yuzhi looked like the daughter of this neighbor? What exactly did she look like? How tall? How short? How fat? How thin? How beautiful is she? Why didn’t she remember her previous life?
Wu Fan in his previous life was really not good!
With confusion in his heart, Wu Fan had no intention of staying in the yard. After all, this was a matter that was related to a lifetime of events. After pushing open the yard, Wu Fan stood outside the yard, intending to get some breath.
At this moment, the gate of the neighbor's house next to him also opened. A figure dressed in red and green walked out. When he saw Wu Fan, he immediately said with a sweet voice:
"Brother Wu, where have you been going? It's so annoying that people are looking for you for a long time!"
