Chapter Fifty-Nine: Plagiarize, Plagiarize, Conquer All

  "I have two pieces of news to report to you, sir. Firstly, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had a great battle at Jie Bridge, but in the end, the imperial court intervened and they ceased hostilities; secondly, Sun Jian is dead!", Cao Cao said solemnly.

  "Ah! ——", Li Yu took a deep breath, this is really a big deal! Sun Jian, the fierce tiger, has fallen. Li Yu knew that Sun Jian would die, but hearing it still shocked him, for he had personally witnessed the old tiger's bravery;

  "Sun Jian is truly the most trustworthy person in history! He staked his life on it!", Li Yu calmed down and said: "What a pity! Legend has it that someone gave Sun Jian a death sentence, saying he was 'a general who died on horseback', and now that he's dead, it means he fell off his horse! Haha! We've also lost an opponent, isn't that great!"

  "What a pity! A generation of brave generals actually died under the poisonous arrows of Jingzhou soldiers, alas!" Cao Cao also shook his head and sighed. Among the eighteen vassals who attacked Dong, he only looked up to Sun Jian, except for Liu Bei who was still under Gongsun Zan at that time. As for the others, although they were now in power, none of them had the qualifications of a hero. Cao Cao was confident that he could do better than them.

  As for Sun Jian's death, he was on the one hand regretful, regretting the early demise of this fierce tiger; on the other hand, he was happy, happy to have eliminated a rival, with very conflicting thoughts.

  "Never mind! I won't say it anymore, there are still two things to...", before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Li Yu started teasing: "Didn't you just say there were only two things?"

  "Haha! Added temporarily!", Cao Cao smiled: "I plan to entrust my two sons to you, and have you teach them learning, what do you think?"

  This is a difficult matter, ordinary people who come into contact with Cao Cao all think he is a man who will make great things happen, and the future of his family will definitely not be lacking. When the time comes for the struggle for the throne, it will be extremely fierce, and no one wants to get involved in this muddy water, but Li Yu is not afraid, so many people have taught him, and he doesn't care about them either.

  As long as the treatment is proper, no one will be able to shake his position in the future. Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay! However... my teaching method may be a bit... unusual... if they don't turn out well later, don't blame me!"

  "Haha! With you, Li Hui's student, I'm not worried that he won't make it? In chaotic times, all sorts of etiquette can be dispensed with. I also know you're not a common person. Zi Xiu and Xiao P come over to pay respects to Master Hui, the ceremony is complete!" Cao Cao laughed and waved his hand, signaling Cao Ang and Cao Pi to kowtow.

  "Big brother! I also want to become a disciple, Master Huai De's military skills are rarely seen in the world, I don't want to miss this opportunity, I hope you will agree!" Cao Chun stepped forward and said loudly.

  Cao Chun actually liked Cao Chun's style, strict and mature beyond his years. He gave Li Yu a look, meaning: how is it? Li Yu nodded, okay! Come one, come all!

  This is Li Yu's second batch of students, referring to those who have formally gone through the ceremony of becoming a disciple. Xu Chu was his first batch, and these three were his second batch. People like Xiahou Dun and others had a real master-disciple relationship with Li Yu but not a nominal one because Li Yu refused them - a group of older men who were older than him, it didn't look right for them to call him their master.

  There is also the meaning of not wanting to pull together; The three of them bowed three times, and Li Yu helped them up one by one: "Since you've become my apprentices, I can't be stingy, I'll give you something! Wait a moment!"

  Li Yu is now living in a side house in the Chenliu Prefecture government office. After rummaging through his boxes, Li Yu took out several bamboo scrolls: "First give it to Zihe, I see that you like military strategy, although I don't know much about it, but I can also teach you some things. Aren't you very interested in the Thirty-six Stratagems? This is the complete content of the Thirty-six Stratagems, study it carefully, and ask if you don't understand!"

  Cao Chun carefully picked up the book and thanked him, as if it were a treasure.

  "Son, be strong and firm, but being firm makes it easy to break. I hope you can cultivate your character and temper yourself. This book of moral teachings is a gift for you, take a good look at it. Little P is still young, so I'm giving you a copy of the Three Character Classic to enlighten you!"

  "Hey, Wei De...", Cao Cao rubbed his hands: "What's that? Hmm?", Li Yu rolled his eyes, this shameless Cao Mengde is asking for gifts from himself! Cao Cao really liked Li Yu's calligraphy, but Li Yu was lazy and never wrote anything. The only thing they saw was the military rules in Xiahou Dun's school grounds, which he couldn't take back. Just in time, he said he had to get a share of something;

  "Here! The King's Theory! I've long wanted to entrust it to someone! ", Li Yu suddenly hugged out a large pile of bamboo slips, and handed them over to Cao Cao with profound meaning. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and Li Yu just ate the fruit, hinting that he hoped he could follow the path of the emperor.

  Three little guys were still flipping through books with great enthusiasm and didn't pay much attention to what Li Yu said.

  "A prince must be a fox to recognize traps and a lion to frighten wolves."

  "All armed seniors won victories, while unarmed seniors all failed."

  Cao Cao read for two pages, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. What is the treasure that teaches people to become kings? This is it! Cao Cao stretched out his thumb in admiration, these bamboo slips were all handwritten by Li Yu, with good handwriting and content, Cao Cao decided to study them carefully when he returned, and raised his position in his heart a bit higher;

  After seeing Cao Cao off, Li Yu smiled meaningfully twice and then went to sleep.

  The Thirty-Six Stratagems, Cao Cao has mastered it. The Tao Te Ching, Cao Cao can recite it fluently. What about the Three Character Classic? Cao Cao: "Little p, lend me the book that Mr. Li gave you to take a look!" After reading it, Cao Cao was speechless. Li Huade, you are truly talented! From now on, change your name to Li Youcai!

  Alright! This is a modified version of the Three Character Classic, Li Yu is really **extreme**, constantly plagiarizing the wisdom of his predecessors to gain benefits for himself.

  It's also helpless, who made him have this condition? Otherwise... You wear it too?

  "A person's handwriting represents a person's face, so - you must practice your handwriting well! Zi Xiu and Zi He are already big, their handwriting has taken shape, I won't urge you, you try to learn more beautifully yourself! Little P, you little guy must work hard!" Li Yu pinched Cao Pi's small face, smiling and holding his hand to teach him how to write.

  At this time, Cao Pi was like a blank sheet of paper, allowing Li Yu to wield his brush freely, and he could dye him whatever color he wanted!

  "The most important thing in writing regular script is to have a clear beginning and end, with each stroke distinct and powerful, yet smooth and unbroken. As long as you achieve these points, you can write excellent characters! Li Yu patted Cao Pi's small shoulder: "Write first, ask Zihe and Zixiu if there are any questions!"

  Although there was no sudden outbreak of the "turtle spirit", the incident where everyone bowed down happened, Li Yu's mix was not bad either. Recently, his face has become thicker and more at ease, freely copying some useful things for him, fortunately he hasn't lost his head yet, and he also made appropriate changes to these things, in line with the conditions of the time;

  From then on, Mr. Li's name resounded within the Cao Group.
