Chapter 3: The Talented Woman Recognizes Sound

Wei Tao's intention is naturally to leave home together with Cao Cao, to learn alongside him

Cai Yong, upon hearing Wei Hong's praise, could not help but respond with a few humble words. However, he was unsure whether the young Cai Yan could understand, as it seemed she perceived a slight against herself and reached out to tug at Cai Yong's beard

Is there anything wrong with what Cai Yong played?

Brother Cao, could you teach me? I wish to become your disciple

Several people were deep in thought, unable to spare a moment, yet Cai Yong was the first to react.

This made Wei Tao feel somewhat embarrassed

Cai Mei Mei is very impressive

Hehe... it's been over an hour, and things are unlikely to improve. Moreover, this girl knows nothing, oh dear!

Drink

However, it is evident that Wei Tao left a very good impression on Cao Cao, and the current Cao Cao is not the future Chancellor of the Han Dynasty who must always maintain his authority and would not easily resort to violence.

The teacher's musical skills are truly unparalleled in the world; who else in the world can compare with the teacher!

Wei Hong smiled again and revealed something that greatly surprised Wei Tao

Meng De was a person of both literary and martial talents; I hope that you too can be like him in the future. Today, Cai Bo is also a rare visitor, and he will be leaving soon. If there is an opportunity, you should take the time to learn from him well

Cai Yong was inherently a humble person; he immediately waved his hand, feeling unworthy of the recognition.

Even our two families have collaborated on numerous industries, yet it is for the sake of the generations that have come and gone.

Wei Tao naturally hoped to receive guidance from Cao Cao to enhance his martial prowess, but he also intended to establish a close relationship with this formidable hero

Wei Tao possesses insights that are ahead of his time, and naturally would not casually seek a mentor. However, this is related to *Tu* and the historical figure Cao Cao, also known as Cao Mengde

According to Master Zhang De, once such a situation arises on the battlefield, the outcome is often only one: being pierced by countless weapons surrounding you

Not correct

At that moment, little Cai Yan suddenly tugged at Cai Yong's long sleeve and called out in a childish voice.

To Wei Tao's surprise, Wei Hong did not offer any objections this time; instead, he nodded immediately and said to him

Thank you, brother

Wei Tao was momentarily taken aback

This time, Wei Hong did not actually intend for Wei Tao to take Cai Yong as his teacher; the true purpose was to facilitate Wei Tao's interaction and learning with Cao Cao

Ding!

Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parent, Teacher; paying respect to a master is not a trivial or casual matter. In the midst of conversation, Wei Tao had already knelt on one knee before Cao Cao

Until the last sound faded, everyone was truly awakened; the skill displayed was indeed astonishing

This indeed was my mistake! As for the concluding string...

Father ... ... not right ... ...

In such circumstances, it is utterly impossible to rely on a few so-called speculative remarks to exert a formidable influence as if one were a person of authority.

If it were someone else, Cao Cao would merely smile, after all, it is just a ten-year-old child

Even so, I still could not help but take two steps back

The sound of the zither lingers in the ears like flowing water coursing through the heart, drawing one irresistibly into its depths

Thus, upon hearing Wei Tao's words, Cao Cao readily agreed.

Hehe... Brother Cao is joking. In the past, I only practiced in seclusion, merely gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well. In reality, I couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Brother Cao.

However, as the three of them took turns explaining the books, especially when Cai Yong attempted to play, Wei Tao finally understood the distinctions among them

At that time, Wei Tao realized that it was indeed impossible for him to achieve anything significant during the late Eastern Han period, nor could he attain the vast reputation and control over people like Liu Bei did

Brother Wei, Meng De, this statement is excessive, too excessive...

Wei Hong's words are by no means empty; even though the sound of the zither has ceased, Wei Tao can still faintly hear it, making it hard to forget.

Wei Hong immediately sighed. Although he agreed to Wei Tao practicing martial arts and studying military affairs, his greatest hope was still for Wei Tao to pursue literary studies. His words were filled with an involuntary sense of lamentation.

Cai Yong was also excited, and he immediately embraced Cai Yan, asking her.

Wei Tao smiled; in fact, he was aware that he had just exerted considerable effort to barely stabilize his own body

Hearing Wei Hong suddenly smile and say, Wei Tao finally understood

Assisting a wise ruler is undoubtedly the best choice

Not long ago, father played a few times, which was not right

Hehe... Since you are unwilling to study literature, I, as your father, will naturally support you. However, if you wish to practice martial arts, you must not rely solely on brute strength; that would merely make you a reckless man. If you truly wish to restore the glory of my ancestor Wei Qing, you must focus your thoughts on military strategy and tactics. The art of war is a deadly weapon and should not be taken lightly.

Neither Wei Hong nor Cao Cao was someone like Wei Tao, who lacked knowledge of the art of the guqin. It is precisely for this reason that they understood how exquisite the guqin skills of Cai Yong were, and they were even more captivated by them.

Hahaha... Brother Wei need not be so modest. As long as Brother Wei is willing, I will not hold back any of my skills. As for the matter of apprenticeship, there is no need for further discussion. Since you and *Tu* *Shu* have called me elder brother, then you are my brother, Cao Mengde

Cao Cao indeed had the intention to guide Wei Tao, and soon he expressed his thoughts.

Wei Tao finally understood. If that is the case, it is no wonder that the Wei family provided substantial support when Cao Cao raised his army.

Father, I wish to study alongside Brother Cao, and I kindly ask for your permission

After all, Wei Tao is merely a ten-year-old child. His physical fitness is indeed commendable, and his strength surpasses that of his peers, but he is ultimately just a ten-year-old child

Perhaps one does not have the ability to change the current fate of the Han Dynasty

Ding ... ...

Originally, there was a distance of about ten meters between the two parties, but Wei Tao did not walk slowly and had already rushed forward within a few steps.

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding why the young Cai Yan, who was only two or three years old, would speak in such a manner

At that moment, Wei Hong gave another piece of advice

The child understands

On the third day, Wei Tao also witnessed Cai Yong's skill in playing the guqin. He saw Cai Yong clasp his hands in greeting and then slowly sit down in front of the guqin.

Yet one can assist others in altering the fate of the chaotic era of the Five Barbarians in the future

Wei Hong and Cao Cao also secretly sighed; naturally, they could not openly express their admiration like Wei Tao, but the astonishment and admiration on their faces were impossible to conceal

Ding ding ding ... ...

Yes

Originally, Cai Yong was a person of integrity, but with this turn of events, his serious demeanor could no longer be maintained, causing one to secretly chuckle within.

Where could one possibly compete with the upright and flourishing Cao Cao

Xiao Caiyan's eyes blinked repeatedly, but the words that came out were astonishing, leaving everyone momentarily speechless

If one has a renowned master to provide guidance, and practices diligently, one will naturally develop exquisite skills in marksmanship in the future

Wei Hong's words were indeed sincere, yet unexpectedly, upon hearing them, Cai Yong's expression slightly changed, and even Cao Cao, who was beside him, showed a somewhat peculiar look.

In such a brief world, Cai Yong naturally could not teach much, but Wei Tao was always by his side.

I must congratulate Brother Cai, for such a fine daughter is certainly much more intelligent than my son. With Brother Cai's guidance in the future, it is likely that your daughter will be a great asset to everyone.

It can be said that every word spoken by Wei Tao truly aligns with his sentiments

Even if Cao Cao were to meticulously calculate his strategies in the future, at this moment he is merely a youth, and how could he possibly employ schemes against a ten-year-old boy

Cai Yong smiled and said, both Wei Hong and Cao Cao were taken aback, while Wei Tao appeared quite bewildered. After all, in both his past and present lives, he had no real study of this musical art, and to his ears, it merely sounded pleasant.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Upon hearing this sound, I have not known the taste of meat for three months

I hope to learn from Brother Cao, and one day I will drive the Xiongnu north like my ancestor Wei Qing, to protect the borders of our Han Dynasty

Cao Cao let out a loud shout, and the long sword in his hand came straight at him, completely undeterred by the shadow of the spear that Wei Tao had thrust out. With one strike, he severed the long spear in Wei Tao's hand

Wei Tao felt a surge of emotion in his heart; this is his father

Brother Wei's generous hospitality leaves me with no means to repay, so I offer a song in return

Wei Tao was deeply impressed, truly deserving of being a legendary talent of the ages, already demonstrating extraordinary abilities today

Welcome!

Hehe... Yan'er, how did you know that Father played it wrong

Even though Wei Tao was wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts, after witnessing Cai Yong's musical talent, he could not help but develop a desire to seek his guidance and learn from him.

A tremendous force surged forth, causing Wei Tao to feel the long spear in his hand tremble violently, leaving him no choice but to grip it tightly.

This shot is empty and lacks substance, your marksmanship is quite good, but the foundation is not solid. Rather than displaying empty flourishes, it would be better to focus on harnessing your own abilities to strike directly and effectively.

Wei Tao steadied himself, shook his long spear, and with a loud shout, thrust it forward with all his might. As soon as he made his move, the tip of the spear flickered, instantly emitting three streaks of silver light, making it impossible to discern the location of the spear's tip

Bó has spoken too highly; although she possesses extraordinary wisdom and beauty, it remains uncertain which young man will be fortunate enough to marry her, and that alone would be a blessing from heaven

Therefore, Wei Tao was certainly not merely speaking; not only did he have a conversation with Cao Cao, but after obtaining Cao Cao's consent, he directly addressed Wei Hong on the same day.

When it comes to the Three Kingdoms period, regardless of how later generations evaluate it, the most worthy ruler to assist undoubtedly is the one before us, Cao Cao, also known as Cao Mengde

At the request of Wei Hong, Cai Yong and others would stay in Chen Liu for no more than three days before departing

Cao Cao is still a youth, a youth full of passion and fervor

Wei Tao is like this, not to mention Wei Hong and Cao Cao, who are completely immersed in it

Indeed, Meng De's knowledge and abilities are extraordinary; if you can study diligently with him, it would certainly be beneficial

Even Cao Cao would be in awe under Cai Yong's mastery of the guqin

In today's context, Cao Cao's ambitions are indeed grand, yet they amount to little more than a hope to serve as the General of the Western Campaign for the Han dynasty throughout his life

Hehe... this is just right, I am a close friend of Mengde's father, Cao Jugao, and my family, the Wei family, has had frequent interactions with the Cao family. In this way, you and Mengde can also become quite close.
