Chapter 6: Meeting Zhou Yu

At this very moment, there was indeed such a character in Luoyang.

In that case, if there is time in the future, I will have a good conversation with the younger brother

After practicing martial arts for a long time, Wei Tao's skills were quite impressive. Instinctively, he made a swift motion to deflect the opponent's strike with the stick.

He Da Guanjia is clearly not an official, but merely a steward

Although the previous sneak attack with a stick was unsuccessful, Ma San proudly shouted out.

However, in the face of the chaotic situation during the Five Barbarians' invasion, which could potentially lead to the annihilation of the Han nationality, Wei Tao would naturally be willing to contribute his efforts if given the opportunity

Wei Tao smiled. Although Cao Cao was a councilor and already had a wife, he still frequented the brothels, and Wei Tao was often able to accompany him.

This young man, shall we sit together?

Since this burden is yours, you must know what is inside it

Zhou Yu waved his hand anxiously, much like a child afraid of a strict father

Thus, under Wei Tao's somewhat deliberate efforts to befriend, the relationship between the two quickly became familiar

Although it is unclear why Cao Cao had no interactions with Zhou Yu in history, in recent days, Wei Tao has made several attempts to facilitate contact between Zhou Yu and Cao Cao

The reason for my silence last time was twofold: first, there were many people surrounding us at that moment; second, I could not ascertain Cao Cao's true intentions

Zhou Yu is, after all, Zhou Yu; he handles situations with great propriety, to the extent that even Cao Cao holds him in high regard

I just heard from my elder brother that you are the prodigy of Luoyang, quite impressive

Wei Tao's expression darkened slightly; the other party's intentions were already quite clear. This was an act of revenge. Unable to retaliate against Cao Cao and Zhou Yu due to his status, he chose to take revenge on himself.

Of course, there are two sets of clothes inside, as well as four strings of money. I intend to pawn the clothes, and I plan to use the four strings of money to buy some wine and meat. How about that

Ma San proudly crossed his legs, his eyes sparkling with a smile as they darted back and forth, fixated on Wei Tao.

Naturally, one must go and take a look with the elder brother

In that instant, Ma San was left dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word

Look! Look! This is mine!

If Ma Sanruo wishes to wear the old man's clothes, he naturally cannot put them on

Cao Cao nodded slightly, his face adorned with a friendly smile

Although it has not yet reached the point of being appointed as the Grand General, where one stands above all others, there is indeed a subtle momentum in that direction at this time

Of course, Wei Tao is still quite young, so it is naturally impossible for him to truly accomplish anything. However, it would not be inappropriate for him to engage in something like a brief romantic encounter.

Wei Tao walked up to Zhou Yu and gave a firm pat on his shoulder

Little brother, you have done well

It must be said that although Cao Cao is now wholeheartedly striving for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, that ruthless ambition is inherently ingrained in him

However, it is evident that Zhou Yu indeed had a strict upbringing; after exchanging pleasantries, he hurriedly made his way back.

At this moment, Zhou Yu also smiled with joy and said

You are merely a lowly bodyguard, and even if you were to be killed, no one would care if you were tossed outside the city

How were you able to come out of the yamen

Hehe... I heard that a few new girls have arrived at Feifeng Tower. Shall we go take a look together, Tao Ge'er?

Although the current Zhou Yu is still not as skilled in military strategy as Wei Tao, he consistently offers his own unique insights, proving that he is indeed worthy of being the future Grand Commander of Eastern Wu

Moreover, once he was brought to the county office, he immediately revealed his true identity, and those officials did not dare to trouble him at all

Cao Cao shook his head; with his status, it was naturally easy for him to summon the constables to take Ma San away. As for what would happen to Ma San, he need not worry about that.

Some time ago, Wei Tao heard Cao Cao mention that His Majesty Liu Hong has officially made He Jin's sister the Empress, to which Cao Cao has expressed some reservations

The old man was somewhat thin, while Ma San, though not exactly a strong man, was of considerable stature

It must be said that as long as he reveals this identity, there is no one in Luoyang City who would not avoid him.

I ... ... I ... ...

If that were the case, such events should not have occurred. With Cao Cao's abilities, if he could have pacified the world first, regardless of whether the Han Dynasty still existed, as long as he was present, the chaos of the Five Barbarians invading China could have been avoided

Wei Tao smiled and pointed at the bundle, asking.

However, Wei Tao's expression darkened.

Since this garment belongs to you, would you be able to try it on for us to see

Moreover, even if one can manage to escape, one cannot avoid enduring a great deal of hardship. How could it be that at this moment, one still chooses to confine oneself in such a manner

How could you possibly come out so quickly

Due to his restless mind, Wei Tao inadvertently took a small path nearby, where there were not many people passing by.

Upon seeing the hurried figure of Zhou Yu leaving, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled as he said to Wei Tao

I hope that one day there will be a confrontation with hetushu.com

Wei Tao silently thought to himself, perhaps the current Zhou Yu is indeed a young man with a strict upbringing, but his future achievements will undoubtedly be magnificent

It is you

You have no idea that, whether in history or in the legends, Zhou Yu truly deserves the title of the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, and your ambition to unify the world has always been unattainable.

Although Cao Cao did not specifically seek to win him over, Zhou Yu is merely a young man at this time, and under such circumstances, he naturally holds a favorable impression of Cao Cao

Despite being surrounded from all sides and being unarmed, Wei Tao remained calm and composed, demonstrating both skill and courage. Instead of showing any signs of panic, he fixed his gaze intently on Ma San and inquired.

Seeing Wei Tao remain silent, Ma San became even more pleased with himself

Cao Cao revealed a faint smile on his face, looking at Wei Tao and nodding slightly, clearly indicating that he understood Wei Tao's meaning

At this time, He Jin was appointed to the positions of Palace Attendant, Chief of Construction, and Governor of Henan, thereby gaining significant power and influence over the court and the realm.

Wei Tao smiled slightly and said

Cao Cao has never been a person who strictly adheres to rules throughout his life. Upon encountering someone like Zhou Yu today, it is only natural for him to make a few teasing remarks.

Upon hearing Wei Tao's words, Na Ma San nonchalantly opened the bundle and revealed the clothes inside.

Hehe... If it weren't for the assistance of the two elder brothers, I fear I would have only been a well-meaning hindrance. Compared to the two elder brothers, I am still far behind. Let's not mention the prodigy of Luoyang anymore

Empress He, born of humble origins, relied on her beauty to gain favor, and in the eyes of discerning individuals, she was truly not a suitable choice for an empress

In Zhou Yu's view, Wei Tao is not only well-versed in military strategy but also has mastered martial arts, demonstrating exceptional skill and prowess.

However, Wei Tao was quite amazed by Zhou Yu; how could Zhou Yu not be astonished by Wei Tao?

Upon seeing Ma San's actions, Zhou Yu's expression darkened, revealing a hint of urgency on his face

A steward is actually able to make even the officials of the yamen bow their heads, which clearly indicates that he has an impressive background

Through this interaction, Wei Tao discovered that although Zhou Yu was still young, his greatest interest aside from music was the study of military strategy.

Even with Cao Cao's abilities, it was under Wei Tao's deliberate remarks that he recognized Zhou Yu's potential

However, this week the young man at home has been excessively serious; I fear that in the future he will only be able to engage in academic pursuits like his teacher. He is not as capable as you and I in achieving great accomplishments

Wei Tao is not the kind of person who takes on the responsibility of the world alone, nor does he believe he has that opportunity

If you are afraid, then I am giving you a chance. As long as you crawl under my legs and then give me a good beating to vent your frustration, I will consider this matter settled. Otherwise, heh heh ...

After sending Zhou Yu away, Wei Tao couldn't help but think to himself that over these days, he felt that Zhou Yu was indeed very much to his liking.

Cao Cao pointed to the tavern and spoke of the way.

It can be said that the reason Cao Cao valued Wei Tao so highly at the beginning was likely due to the connection between Wei Tao and his own father, Wei Hong.

Haha... let me tell you! We are people of He the Steward! With He the Steward here, who would dare to show us any disrespect in this small territory!

After all, the current Zhou Yu is merely a boy of five or six years old

In the following ten days or so, Cao Cao continued to attend court as usual, but Wei Tao occasionally went to seek out Zhou Yu

Upon seeing Wei Tao's silence, Cao Cao merely assumed that he had taken a liking to Zhou Yu, and thus was unwilling to hear any disparaging remarks about him. Consequently, the topic was swiftly changed.

Call!

No, I cannot. If my father finds out that I went to a tavern, he will surely be angry, and the discipline at home is very strict. I must hurry back home, and I hope the two elder brothers will be understanding.

Hmph! You know you're scared now, don't you?

He Jin, the Palace Attendant, Chief Artisan, and Governor of Henan

Wei Tao could not have imagined that the one blocking him was actually the Ma San who had been sent to the yamen by him and others more than ten days ago

Hehe... kid, did you not expect this? You thought that by following that eunuch, you could run rampant in the capital? Hmph! Indeed, that eunuch's offspring holds some official position, and that kid is also the son of the magistrate of Luoyang. But what about you? What do you amount to?

"Try it on! If you can wear it, then I must have wronged you. But if you cannot wear it, then you shall accompany me to the yamen for a visit"

Although the laws of the Han Dynasty were lax, how could a ruffian like this possibly be released from the yamen in less than three to five months

However, Wei Tao quickly shook his head and dismissed this thought from his mind

Looking up, I realized that at some point, this small path was blocked by people both in front and behind.

Wei Tao is probing to find out who is backing the other party

A thug is just a thug; Ma San was easily manipulated by Wei Tao's words.

This prodigy from Luoyang is indeed deserving of the title. It is said that this young Zhou Yu has considerable accomplishments in the field of music theory at such a tender age. If the teacher were to see him, he would surely be delighted. Perhaps in the future, he could become a figure akin to the teacher himself

At that moment, a strong gust of wind rushed towards me, followed immediately by the sight of a stick striking fiercely!
