In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao originally implemented the strategy of "meritocracy", and he did not refuse to accept talents, but in his old age, Cao Cao's ambitions were sharply reduced, and he had been blessed for a long time.
Zhang Song looked a little too sorry for the audience. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Song was short in stature and less than five feet tall. If you calculate according to the previous size of the Qin and Han Dynasties, one foot at that time was equivalent to twenty-three centimeters now, and Zhang Song was less than five feet tall, that is, less than 1.2 meters, which was similar to a big playboy, and it was indeed a bit of a boil. Moreover, Zhang Song is short in stature, not to mention, he also has a pointed nose, his teeth are exposed, his appearance is very obscene, one leg is long and one is short, and he is limping when walking. You say, who else to read, the first impression is not contemptuous disgust? Take people by their appearance, as they are.
At the beginning, Sun Quan saw Pang Tong, five short figures, thick eyebrows and nose, black face and short hair, described as strange, and was not happy in his heart; Liu Bei saw that Pang Tong looked ugly, and he was also displeased, so he only sent him to Leiyang County to make a county order. Cao Cao is not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention that Cao Cao was originally very dissatisfied with his height, seven feet tall, that is, about one meter six, Zhang Song was even shorter than himself, such a person can let him do something? What's more, Cao Cao has been in the position of the Great Han Emperor for a long time, the crowd has been destroyed by him, emperor Xiandi of Han is just a puppet, and Cao Wei himself is the heaven, so Cao Cao is really unhappy when he sees a figure like Zhang Song.
Zhang Song's verbal collision hurt Cao Cao's self-esteem. It is the toad that is small, but the sound is loud. Although Zhang Song's character is obscene, his voice is like Hong Zhong. When Cao Cao saw that he was an emissary of the Western Shu Dynasty, and under Yang Xiu's strong recommendation, he was extremely reluctant to receive him for the sake of face, and his advantage of being like Hong Zhong not only did not help him, but made Cao Cao even more annoyed and disgusted. In order to show that Cao Cao's guosheng army was strong, Cao Cao personally ordered 50,000 tiger guards and deployed them in the school yard. Sure enough, the armor was clear and the robes were splendid; the golden drum shook the sky, and the spear shone brightly; in all directions, each team was divided; the flags were colorful, and the people and horses were in the air. Cao Cao asked Zhang Song to take him to the school grounds, and Zhang Song squinted his eyes for a long time and did not speak. Cao Cao said to Zhang Song, "Have you ever seen this heroic figure in Ruchuan?" Zhang Song said, "I have never seen this military revolution in Wushu, but I rule people with benevolence and righteousness."
Cao Cao suddenly changed color and glared. Zhang Song was not afraid. Yang Xiu kept giving him a look at him from the side. Cao Cao said to Zhang Song, "I see the rats in the world as mustard ears. The army is everywhere, invincible, invincible, invincible, and those who follow us are born, and those who oppose us die. What do you know? Zhang Song said: "I know too well that the prime minister drives the troops everywhere, the battle will be won, and the attack will be won." In the past, when Puyang attacked Lü Bu, wancheng was the day of the battle of Zhang Xiu; Chibi met Zhou Lang, Huarong met Guan Yu; cut his beard and abandoned his robe at Tongguan, seized the ship and avoided arrows in Weishui. This is invincible to the world also! "It is scolding people without revealing their shortcomings, and hitting people without punching them in the face." Cao Cao originally wanted to show his might in front of Zhang Song and establish his image of being invincible, thinking that little Zhang Song would tremble when he saw it, bending his knees to flatter himself, who knew that this little Zhang Song did not know how to lift, but with a loud voice, which pot did not open which pot, everywhere exposed Cao Cao's scars and sores. Cao Cao couldn't help but get angry: "How dare Shu Ru expose my shortcomings!" "Drink orders to push out left and right. Yang Xiu was anxious, and Xun Yu also pleaded. Cao Cao was still angry, spared Zhang Song the death penalty, and let the guards beat Zhang Song away with a stick.
Zhang Song's arrival made half of Cao Cao's life in vain. Zhang Song was very eloquent, and Yang Xiu praised Cao Cao's talent, which was refuted by Zhang Song one by one, but Yang Xiu defended it, and showed Zhang Song a military book written by Cao Cao, "The New Book of Meng De". Who knew that Zhang Song actually had the ability to never forget, and after holding the book only once, he smiled and said, "Where is the book of soldiers written by Xiang Xiang, it is clear that it was written by an anonymous clan in the Warring States period." Yang Xiu didn't believe it, and Zhang Song said, "This book is secretly recited by three-foot children in Wushu, what is a new book?" Cao Cheng xiang stole his own ability, and stopped hiding his ears! Yang Xiu asked him to recite it, and Zhang Song actually memorized it word for word. Yang Xiu was horrified and told Cao Cao. Cao Cao was also surprised, so angry that he burned half of his life's work. It is "not much harm, too much insult". The book of soldiers that Cao Cao spent half his life writing was actually said to be plagiarism, which is really tolerable and intolerable. "With my Cao Cao strength, Yizhou has gained something, there are not many Zhang Song without you, and there are not many Zhang Song without you." Cao Cao thought like this, and he decided not to keep Zhang Song anymore. Later, Yang Xiu was killed by Cao Cao for the "chicken rib" thing, in fact, there was also a reason why Yang Xiu did not know what to do and dared to show Cao Cao's "Meng De New Book" to Zhang Song.
Cao Cao looked down on Zhang Song, who came to send the picture, there were reasons why Cao Cao took people by appearance, Zhang Song's words hurt his self-esteem, and there were also reasons why Zhang Song was arrogant and arrogant and did not know how to restrain himself. Therefore, it is precisely because people cannot be seen, the sea is invincible, for the superior, if you want to recruit more talents, you must accept it with an open mind, and you must not be arrogant; for the lower, if you want to get ahead, get the reuse of those in power, and you must not be arrogant and arrogant, you must know that the initiative is in others, arrogant and arrogant, and the only one who is injured can be himself.
