NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
Everyone was shocked.
Cheng Yu had been blocked and speechless, and secretly defeated.
However, the test of Cao Jian was obviously not over yet.
Following Cheng Yu, Xun Yu soon launched a series of interrogations.
As the second in command in Cao's camp, this top think tank with a steady style did not mean to make things difficult: it was purely to fully evaluate whether Cao Jian was qualified to be recommended for officialdom?
Most of the questions were based on Confucian classics and mainly examined knowledge.
And this happened to be what Cao Jian wanted!
With Cao Jian's current intelligence, it is natural for him to recite Confucian classics by heart.
In addition, as a time traveler, with a vision that transcends this era for thousands of years, occasionally stitching in a few sentences, and hearing unique insights from classic programs such as"Lecture Room"?
After the answer, it fell into the ears of everyone, it was no different from a stone-shattering statement!
Cheng Yu nodded from time to time while listening to it on the side, and his original prejudice against Cao Jian was also quietly reduced.
Even Xun Yu, the"king's assistant talent" whom Boss Cao relied on the most, couldn't help but praise him again and again:
"The second young master has extraordinary insights. As Feng Xiao said, he is indeed a great talent in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, Boss Cao smiled and applauded:
"Haha, great! I didn't expect that we were all misled by the rumors and completely misjudged them!
Originally, we were skeptical about what Feng Xiao said, but now that Wen Ruo has given us such an evaluation, it shows that my son is definitely not an ignorant person!
In this case, everyone should have no objection to recommending him to serve in the government, right?"
At this moment, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, the two think tanks, naturally could not continue to object.
Guo Jia, the prodigal son who was already very optimistic about Cao Jian, had no reason to object.
""Master Strategist" Xun You frowned and then said:
"Considering the talent that the Second Young Master showed in the question and answer session just now, it is more than enough for him to be selected as a filial and honest official. I just don’t know what position the Lord wants him to take?"
After hearing this, Boss Cao pondered and said:
"According to the custom, after being selected as a filial and honest official, he should first enter the palace and serve as a palace official.……"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Jian began to wink at Guo Jia secretly:
What a joke, he can't wait, waiting to follow the army to fight Lu Bu, so as to take the opportunity to rescue Diao Chan, Lu Lingqi, Du and other poor women, he doesn't want to stay in the palace as a palace official!
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled to himself:
As a playboy with similar tastes, a glance between wolf friends, naturally, instantly understood!
So, without waiting for Boss Cao to make a decision, he smiled and said:
"My Lord, now is a time of chaos. If we follow the routine, the training speed will be too slow, which is not conducive to the rapid growth of the Second Young Master.
My Lord has always been good at selecting talents, why not ask what the Second Young Master thinks?"
Hearing this, Boss Cao couldn't help but laugh:
"Fengxiao's words make sense! Zixiong, tell me, what position do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Jian immediately put on a rare serious look and said righteously:
""Father, I think that in this chaotic world, it is the right time to make achievements!
A real man should strive to be the best. How can he stay in the palace and do nothing for the rest of his life?"
These words were spoken with such a loud sound that everyone was stunned!
Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, the three think tanks, were all shocked:
"Who would have thought that the second son had such ambitions?!
As expected, you can’t judge a person by his appearance. Rumors can easily mislead people.……"
After hearing this, Boss Cao was also cheered up:
"Oh? I never thought that my son would have such lofty ambitions?"
"From what you said, you want to give up your stable job as a Langguan and instead go to the battlefield to kill enemies and make achievements?"
"The swords and knives on the battlefield are merciless and there is no chance of death! If you want to achieve success, you must be prepared to die on the battlefield at any time. This is not a joke!
Have you thought about the dangers?"
Cao Jian nodded seriously, looking righteous.
This immediately aroused Boss Cao's interest, and he couldn't help but asked with a smile:
"My son really has this ambition, and I am very pleased as a father!
Then in your opinion, with the current situation, which place should be pacified first?"As soon as this question was thrown, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and other think tanks suddenly brightened up:
Obviously, they all heard that their lord was taking this opportunity to personally test whether the second son had relevant military talents!
Cao Jian naturally knew this:
Whether he could convince this cheap father to let him follow the army to fight Lu Bu and rob his wife depends entirely on his performance this time!
With his mind calculated, he immediately searched his brains and quickly reviewed all his memories and understandings of this time node!
Then, he pointed out the situation and talked about it:
"Replying to Father! From my perspective, although Father now controls Yuzhou and Yanzhou, he is surrounded by powerful enemies and is in a place of war!
Instead of sitting and waiting for the enemy to attack, it is better to take advantage of this great opportunity and defeat them one by one!"
"Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who dominates the north, is very powerful, but he is currently fighting with Gongsun Zan for the position of overlord in the north. He is too busy to split his forces, and the Yellow River is a natural barrier, so he cannot cross the river to the south for the time being. We can ignore him.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou, although he has many soldiers and generals, and Zhang Xiu is his support, he is old and timid, and he was recently defeated by his father. He has long lost the ambition to expand his territory and will not dare to attack us easily. We can take our time.
Yuan Shu of Huainan has been attacked by a group of people since he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun. He is also confronted by Sun Ce of Jiangdong, and they are mutually restrained. He cannot go north for the time being.……"
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause and said meaningfully:
"After counting all these, in my opinion, the best strategy is to take Xuzhou and fight Lu Bu first!"
Boss Cao nodded repeatedly, then smiled and continued to deliberately test:
"However, Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the world. It is not easy to attack him. How can we defeat him?"
Cao Jian smiled calmly, looking calm and composed:
"Lu Bu is brave but not wise. Although he has taken Xuzhou, he is cruel and unpopular.
Moreover, he took that place from Liu Bei, so his foundation is not stable. Liu Bei is now living in Xuzhou, and he has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command. I believe he will never swallow this breath! What if my father can write a letter to ask Liu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be the internal supporters?
At that time, they can attack Lu Bu together, and Xuzhou will be within our grasp soon.……"
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Xun You, the"strategist", completely changed his absurd impression of Cao Jian and couldn't help but praise him:
"The second son has never been to war, but he knows the world's situation very well. He is truly a genius!"
When Boss Cao heard this, a trace of relief and pride flashed across his face.
At this moment, he was undoubtedly more and more satisfied with Cao Jian, the"ridiculous son" in his impression, and couldn't help but applaud again:
"Great! I never thought that after more than a year without any test, my son would make such rapid progress?
At such a young age, he already has such a high level of insight. It's really rare, really rare, haha!"
"Zixiong! Since you have such ambition and talent, your father will make the decision and fulfill your wish:
After you are selected as a filial and honest official, I will make an exception and appoint you as a military commander. Then you can go with the army to conquer Xuzhou and fight against Lu Bu together!"
After hearing this, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and other think tanks nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Cao Jian was delighted and said to himself:
"It's done!!"
Guo Jia saw this and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Looking at someone's high-sounding appearance, this guy was almost hurt:
"When it comes to shamelessness, the second young master is the best!
He acted so pretentiously that even Xun Lingjun and the lord were frightened!"
"What do you mean by attacking Lu Bu and making great achievements?
The real purpose is to get those famous beauties!!"
"I just hope that if the lord knows the truth in the future, he won't be so angry that he vomits blood.……"
