As soon as Zhao Rong said this, everyone present agreed.

Feng Fang smiled and said,"General Zhao's words make sense. There is a moon and wine, but there can't be no poetry. I agree with his proposal."

Xia Mu clasped his fists and said,"I also agree."

""I also agree with this proposal."

The other guests in the general's mansion also agreed to this proposal.

These guests were some famous scholars supported by He Jin, who served as his staff and gave him advice.

The famous scholars liked elegance, so they agreed with the proposal of poetry and wine to liven up the mood.

But not everyone agreed, and some military officers did not like it.

"Why write poetry? Why drink so much instead of doing so much useless stuff? It's really boring!"

The right lieutenant Chun Yuqiong drank a sip of wine and shouted loudly:

"That is, drinking is great, why write poetry? It is boring!"

"I agree too."

The captain of the city gate, Wu Fu, was born a knight-errant. He liked swordplay and fighting, but not poetry, so he supported Chunyu Qiong's proposal.

Everyone had their own opinions, some agreed and some disagreed.

But most people had read the scriptures and were literati, so many people agreed to write poetry.

He Jin looked at everyone and asked Lu Zhi,"Lord Lu, what do you think?"

""Gentlemen, please make your own decisions. I have no objection."

Lu Zhi shook his head.

He Jin looked at Yuan Shao again, and seeing that he did not object, he said,"In this case, let's each write a poem, as a welcome to Lord Lu. If you can't, drink a glass of wine as a punishment." As soon as he finished speaking, Chunyu Qiong and others immediately picked up a glass and drank it in one gulp. It was obvious that they wanted to drink the wine as a punishment instead of writing poems, which caused contempt from other literati.

"General, since we are writing poems, there must be rules. We have to set a standard."

Yuan Shu stood up and said.

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yan.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Yuan Shu looked at him deliberately when he said this, obviously wanting to make trouble for him.

He Jin asked,"Gong Lu, what kind of rules do you want to make?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said slowly,"Each person will write a poem, and let everyone comment on it. According to the level of this person, if everyone raises an objection, then this person will pass."

"If the poem he made doesn't satisfy everyone, then he has to continue to make it until everyone is satisfied."

What!

When Yuan Shu said this, many people were stunned.

This rule is a bit special.

Everyone present is a person of some status and fame, and they know each other's background.

No one has a grudge against anyone. Even if the poem made by this person is not good, no one should stand up to oppose it.

After all, it's just for fun. If you have to argue with others and refute them, that person will lose face. Isn't this offending people for nothing?

No one should do such a stupid thing, right?

Unless this person is not known by everyone, but just a little-known person, then even if someone refutes him, no one will care.

After hearing this, Cao Cao frowned immediately. He felt that this was directed at Su Yan.

Su Yan is just a prefect of Zhuo County. His fame is only popular in Youzhou. Who in Luoyang knows him if he is not introduced?

Once it is his turn to write a poem later, if he can't write a poem that convinces everyone, then as long as there is one If someone objects, he has to continue.

However, poetry writing also depends on the situation, and it is not something that can be done just because you want to.

It is impossible for a person to write two poems in a row, and the latter one is of better quality than the former one.

This is simply asking too much.

Yuan Shu's move was indeed vicious, and it was a completely open conspiracy. He took advantage of Su Yan's lack of fame and the fact that no one knew him to deliberately attack him.

However, Cao Cao could only know this in his heart. He could not say it out loud, otherwise it would only make Su Yan more embarrassed, and it would be his teacher Lu Zhi who would lose face.

Not only Cao Cao, but even Bao Xin and Yuan Shao understood what Yuan Shu meant.

They also frowned, but did not try to stop him.

Su Yan's relationship with them was average, and they did not need to help him for this. What's more, this was an open conspiracy, and they could not help even if they wanted to.

He Jin narrowed his eyes and saw that no one objected, so he said:"Since you all have no objection, then let's do as Gong Lu said."

Everyone nodded, with different expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Then I will compose the first poem."

At this time, Zhang Jin, one of He Jin's retainers, stood up and said.

It's better to get up early and finish early now. As time goes by, the good ones will be said and then you will be at a loss for words.

Everyone knew this, so after Zhang Jin finished speaking, someone quickly stood up.

One after another, one person finished and another immediately took over, leaving no spare time.

Regardless of the quality of the speech, as long as it can be turned into a poem, basically no one objects, and all are accepted.

Su Yan sat very far back, almost at the end of the line, so he was basically the last one to compose a poem.

"Ziyang, you have to be careful, Gonglu's move is aimed at you.

Cao Cao looked at the people in front of him and whispered to Su Yan

"Don't worry, Meng De, I know what to do."

Su Yan smiled and didn't care much.

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Cao Cao could only sigh helplessly and sat back in his seat.

Soon, the last scholar in front finished his poem, followed by many generals who had been punished with wine, and then they went straight to Su Yan.

Everyone's eyes were all on Su Yan's face.

Su Yan's face was very calm, not nervous at all, and he stood up with a wine glass.

Before he spoke, he heard Yuan Shu say,"Huh? This gentleman looks a little unfamiliar, is he also the general's staff?"

After these words came out, Lu Zhi frowned and looked at Yuan Shu.

He Jin's face froze, and even He Miao's face looked very ugly.

They already knew that Su Yan was Lu Zhi's disciple. Yuan Shu directly said that he was an aide to the general's mansion. Then what position did he put Lu Zhi in?

This sentence of his not only offended Lu Zhi, but also offended He Jin.

The eyes of the two people looking at Yuan Shu were not very friendly.

When Yuan Shao saw this, he cursed Yuan Shu in his heart for being a fool. It’s bad enough that you are looking for trouble with Su Yan, but you also involve He Jin. Isn’t this asking for trouble for yourself?

Facing Yuan Shu’s questioning, Su Yan smiled and said:"I am Su Yan, with the name Ziyang, from Zhuo County, Youzhou, and the current governor of Zhuo County. Hello, gentlemen!"

"

" Greetings to Governor Su." Everyone bowed to Su Yan.

If Su Yan bowed to them, they would naturally bow back.
