The Three Kingdoms

In the gazebo, there are bamboo mats on the floor, and several desks. The owner of the mansion is sitting on one side, and a scholar in white is sitting opposite him. That kind of morbid whiteness should be due to long-term illness. There are a few beautiful maidservants beside the two of them who are carefully cooking wine, while the two of them are talking softly.

"Isn't this the rhythm of cooking wine with green plums?" Sun Quan looked from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's cooking wine with green plums is famous in history, so later generations will regard cooking wine with green plums as their patent.

In fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty, and there was no restriction on speech. In this era, among literati and refined scholars, cooking wine with green plums, discussing the world, and expressing their own opinions is very common.

Sun Quan thought for a while, his eyes flickered brightly, walked over, and asked with a bow: "I don't know, gentlemen, can I drink this wine?"

"So the master still has guests?" The young man in white raised his head, stared at little Sun Quan, and said.

"Aren't you also a guest? You are welcome, sir, please sit down!" The middle-aged scribe did not despise Sun Quan because of his age, nodded and said respectfully.

"Thank you sir." Sun Quan knelt down between the two of them along a futon.

"This wine is not something ordinary people can drink. I don't know what your name is." The young man in white raised his brows, and there was an innate arrogance between his brows.

"The world is so big, among thousands of people, it is fate that we can meet each other. At the same time, the world is reduced to people, so why meet each other before!" Sun Quan raised his small chest, raised his wine glass, and drank it down.

Sun Quan felt that he was too talented. Facing the two of them, his literary and leisurely demeanor would be seen by future generations as a perfect pretense and coercion.

[Text Chapter 31 On the World]

Above the starry sky, the full moon is shining across the sky, and the stars are shining brightly. In the gazebo, the lights are shining, and the wine is fragrant.

Sun Quan is young and mature, with an extraordinary temperament. His casual words come from a sentence in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing".It can be regarded as calming down two literati with outstanding literary talents.

The middle-aged scribe and the young man in white were taken aback when they heard this, and looked at Sun Quan with serious eyes, put away a trace of contempt in their hearts, and the young man in white laughed immediately, saying: "This is Longzhi's mistake, Long shouldn't have done it." Judging a hero by his age, but underestimating a young master's talent, just based on this sentence, of course the young master can drink this wine, and Long will be punished!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp without leaving a drop. The beautiful maidservants beside him hurried forward and continued to pour the wine.

"Hahaha...you're being polite!" Sun Quan smiled triumphantly. It's not unreasonable for so many people to pretend to be coercive.

"Both of you are staying here tonight. Just like what this young master said, it is fate to meet each other. Why bother to meet each other? Today, I will not ask the identities of the two of you. Drink, please!" The middle-aged scribe raised his glass ,road.

"Please!"

"Please!"

Sun Quan and the young man in white raised their wine glasses at the same time and said.

"The weather is very good tonight. It's rare for us to meet each other. It's a bit boring just drinking. Otherwise, I'll invite someone to play the piano for fun, okay?" Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

"The son's words are very good!" The eyes of the two people brightened and they nodded.

"This girl, I would like to trouble you, go and invite my elder sister, and say that Quan is drinking, and ask her to play the piano for fun!" Sun Quan said to a beautiful maid beside him.

The beautiful green-clothed maidservant beside Sun Quan turned her head to look at her master when she heard this, the middle-aged scribe nodded and said, "Go!"

The three of them didn't wait long, and saw a young girl, led by a beautiful maidservant in green, into the gazebo. Cai Yan was dressed in loose green silk, wearing a Confucian skirt, holding a qin, and her figure was graceful.

The middle-aged scribe and the young man in white looked up, and their eyes lit up.

"Sister Cai, I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep. I happened to meet two confidants. I was a bit bored after drinking, so I remembered your piano sound. I'm sorry to trouble you!" Sun Quan raised his head, smiled, and said.

"It's okay, my sister can't sleep either." Cai Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, she gave him a blank look, and said to the two of them, "Since the two gentlemen are interested, I'm going to make a fool of myself!"

Without the slightest stage fright, she sat down not far from the three of them, placed the piano in her hand on a desk, and sat half-kneeling, with her ten fingers like elves, and the throbbing sound of the piano began to reverberate.

"It's such a beautiful piano sound, it's so heart-throbbing, it's beyond ordinary people's ability to play it, the girl is good at playing the piano." The young man in white stared at Cai Yan, flashing a trace of admiration, and said.

He was born in Yingchuan, a poor family boy, but he has studied hard for more than ten years. Since he is proficient in piano, chess, poetry and books, although he is not proficient in piano art, he is also a good bosom friend, and he can naturally distinguish good from bad.

"Being able to play this sound shows the depth of the girl's piano skills. There are very few women in the world. There is only one person in the world who can have such an accomplishment in terms of melody." The middle-aged scribe listened slightly, his eyes shining, and said A flash of inspiration flashed, and he said respectfully: "Girl, you should be the great sage of the court, the daughter of Cai Yong and Cai Zhonglang!"

"It turned out to be Miss Cai, I'm so disrespectful!" The young man in white was startled, and said respectfully: "Cai Zhonglang is a rare master of music in the world, although I have never heard of his voice, but today I can listen to Miss Cai's song It is considered lucky for Sansei.”

"Nujia Zhaoji has seen the two gentlemen!" Cai Yan nodded while continuing to play the piano.

"The night is long, this sound and this wine are rare in the world, why don't we come and talk about this world!" Sun Quan stared at the two with his amber eyes, provoking the topic.

Isn't green plum cooking wine meant to talk about the world?This program cannot be missed.

"What you said is very true, why don't you come here first." The young man in white clasped his hands, a flash of light flashed in his expression, and said: "In today's world, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the emperor has been reduced to a puppet, first there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion Later, there was Dong Zhuo’s rebellion, and the Han Dynasty might have lost all hope. The Kwantung princes attacked Dong Zhuo, but there was no result. Now Luoyang has been burned, the alliance has broken up, and the world is about to fall into chaos.”

"Back then, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased after it! Gao Zu won the world." The middle-aged scribe stared at him with a pitiful look on his face, and sighed, "I'm afraid the world will return to the 400-year melee!"

"Young Emperor is dead, and Emperor Xian is Dong Zhuo's puppet. The Han Dynasty lost its orthodoxy, and the princes rose together!"

Sun Quan looked at the two of them, his childish face showed a trace of surprise, and he said lightly: "I'm afraid that today is more intense than the conflict between Chu and Han 400 years ago. In order to quell this Yellow Turban war, Chaos, the families of the world, the princes of various places are constantly growing in strength, the master is strong and the servant is weak, chaos has begun."

"The Han Dynasty is hard to take care of, but the people are innocent. I don't know if there are people who can put down chaos in the world?" Amidst the faint sound of the piano, the young man in white raised his glass and asked.

"Among all the heroes in the world, Yuan Shu, the son of the fourth generation and the third son, is a general after the imperial court. He has a profound background, occupies the land of Runan, and has a strong army under his command. How about this person?" The middle-aged scribe narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"It's just a small person's ear?" Sun Quan sneered, and said: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not resorted to any means, but they must have a heart to accommodate the world. Although Yuan Shu has a family background and talent, but he is narrow-minded. The generation who does not make great things."

The battle of the Kanto princes against Dong Zhuo had spread all over the world, and both of them had heard about Yuan Shu's flaws in character, so they nodded immediately.

"How about Yuan Shao in Bohai?" The white-clothed young man asked softly with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Yuan Benchu ​​not only has the power of the Yuan family, but also the prestige of the former leader of the Kanto Alliance, who dominates the world. Now he has returned to the Kanto, and his subordinates are even more soldiers. There are many, there are countless generals, and within three to five years, this person cannot dominate the land of Hebei, and he can compete for the top of the world with the land of Hebei."

Hearing this, Sun Quan's amber-like pupils suddenly contracted a little. This person had a unique vision, fell silent for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Although Yuan Shao is capable, he may dominate Hebei or North, but he pays too much attention to family differences. , with the etiquette of the family, but without the hearts of the people, it is difficult to achieve great things. Since ancient times, a king can only win the world if he wins the hearts of the people."

"The one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Your words are very serious!" The middle-aged scribe and the young man in white were shocked, and they raised their glasses together: "This statement is very clear, I will give you a toast!"

"Please!" Sun Quan was a little ashamed, and raised his glass to drink together. He drank a lot, and his head was a little dazed. The alcohol content in the late Han Dynasty was very low, but Sun Quan was still young and couldn't handle it.

Cai Yan played the piano with ten fingers, and listened carefully to the three people's remarks. A gleam flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she stared at the little Sun Quan. Although they had been together for many days, she still felt a little ignorant of this young and mature little Sun Quan.

"What about Liu Biao in Jingzhou?" The middle-aged scribe continued to ask: "This man is from the Han Dynasty. He has the name of Eight Steeds and is knowledgeable. Common people."

"Liu Jingsheng has power but no intention, so Jingzhou is fine, but he lacks the ambition of the world. Ambition comes with ambition. If the heart is not enough, the strength is not enough. If he has no intention, why is the world?" Sun Quan said coldly, occupying Jingzhou dozens of times One can imagine how ambitious he is, but in the end, Liu Bei saved Jingzhou's country for him, and he was still in his arms.

"Where's the Jiangdong tiger?" The white-clothed youth asked: "I heard that he has a little reputation in Wu. He first flattened the Yellow Turban, and then he was in Changsha. "

"The tiger has the intention of devouring the world. This man is also a man of great talent, but I heard that he has led his troops to Jiangdong. The land of Jiangdong must not be contested for the world." The middle-aged scribe thought about it and said with some regret.

"Why do you say that?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The land of Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which can protect Jiangdong's foundation and hinder Jiangdong's trend." The middle-aged scholar said indifferently.

Sun Quan immediately understood, and he was speechless. There are many rivers in the east of the river, and most of them are infantry. It is really difficult to compete with the cavalry in the north.

"Then what about Cao Cao who assassinated Dong Zhuo, made an imperial edict, and allied with the princes of the Kanto?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

"The young master is talking about the Cao Cao who was born as an eunuch? Cao Mengde!" The young man in white's eyes lit up, a little surprised.

In this day and age, family background is a very important thing. After Cao Cao was born as an eunuch, when he didn't really make a fortune, he didn't get paid attention to. He was not as good as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's generation.
