Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 230: Hunt in the field tomorrow to show your strength to the world!
As soon as these words came out, the people around him burst into laughter.

"Sir, are you confused? How big of a scale do you need to build to weigh this giant elephant?"

"It's just that this method is not reliable at all."

The old minister suddenly blushed with shame and returned to the crowd dejectedly.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both knew that now was their chance to show off, and while Cao Chong was away, they had to perform well in front of Cao Cao.

"Father, why don't you ask the tribute messengers? They should know how heavy the giant elephant is."

Cao Zhi stood up first and asked with his hands raised.

Cao Cao nodded and immediately ordered someone to call the envoy over.

It's a pity that the envoy didn't know how much this giant elephant weighed. He just thought that this thing was very rare among the Han Dynasty, so he paid tribute.

Cao Zhi sighed. The clever trick he originally wanted to play failed to succeed at all.

And Cao Pi also walked out, looking confident.

"Father, in my opinion, this giant elephant is so huge that conventional methods are definitely not feasible. In my opinion, the elephant must be killed, chopped into pieces, and weighed one by one to know the weight."

But this approach has also been met with pushback.

"Master Pi, these are the tributes paid by foreign envoys. Wouldn't it be a pity if they were slaughtered?"

"Yes, since it is a tribute, it seems inappropriate to kill it."

Cao Pi's face looked a little ugly, and Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that my two sons think too one-sidedly.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is there no way to weigh this elephant?"

"Do we really have to kill this giant elephant?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the crowd.

"You can know the weight without killing!"

Everyone looked around and saw Ye Fan leading Cao Chong not far away with a smile on his face.

Because they knew that Ye Fan was a celebrity around Cao Cao, the ministers all greeted Ye Fan one after another.

Ye Fan responded one by one, and then brought Cao Chong to the elephant.

When Cao Pi saw this scene, his heart twitched violently, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes when he looked at Cao Chong.

When Cao Zhi saw that Ye Fan and Cao Chong were so close, his expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly regained his composure.

Cao Cao looked at his youngest son with joy on his face: "Chong'er, you said you could weigh this giant elephant, but is it true?"

Cao Chong looked confident, patted his chest and said, "Of course, I really have a way!"

After saying that, he ran to Cao Cao and whispered something in Cao Cao's ear.

After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately slapped his legs and laughed.

"Okay, okay, it's really a good idea."

The other ministers were very confused and asked quickly: "Prime Minister, I don't know what method the young master said?"

However, Cao Cao smiled mysteriously and greeted everyone: "You will find out if you follow me."

Soon, Cao Cao led people to the river. A boat was prepared in the river, and the elephant was also brought here.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what the purpose of coming here was.

I saw Cao Chong step forward calmly and said to the guard: "Drive the giant elephant to the boat."

The giant elephant seemed to be a little afraid of water. It took a lot of effort for the guards to finally get the giant elephant onto the boat. In an instant, most of the boat sank.

The boat could barely bear the weight of the elephant.

After reaching this point, someone already knew Cao Chong's method, and they couldn't help but suddenly realized it. Cao Chong ordered people to draw a line where the boat was flush with the water, then drove the elephant off the boat, and then had people move in stones one by one.

Because of the weight of the stone, the hull slowly descended and finally stopped at the line drawn between them.

Cao Chong smiled proudly: "The weight of these stones should be equal to the weight of the giant elephant, so as long as we weigh the weight of these stones, we can know the weight of the giant elephant."

The mystery was revealed, and even those who were slow to react now understood it, and everyone was shocked.

You must know that Cao Chong is just a child, but he suddenly outperformed all of them.

After being shocked, they all gave thumbs up, showing admiration.

"The young master is so smart that he came up with such a strange method. It's really shameful."

Some people praised him, looking ashamed.

"I even proposed a method to kill the giant elephant before. Compared with the young master's method, I don't know how clever it is." Someone else said flatteringly.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both looked ugly when they heard this.

They were all present and had made suggestions, but in comparison with Cao Chong, their methods seemed very stupid.

Especially when others complimented Cao Chong, every word was heartbreaking.

But no one cared about them at this time.

Cao Pi looked at Cao Chong with deep resentment in his eyes, and suddenly realized that someone was looking at him. He looked up and found that it was Ye Fan standing next to Cao Cao.

For a moment, Cao Pi lowered his head, his heart pounding, for fear that his murderous intention would be noticed by Mark.

Cao Cao was also in a good mood. He stepped forward and rubbed Cao Chong's head lovingly, with a proud look on his face.

His son is truly extraordinary.

"You performed very well today, which really makes my father happy."

Cao Chong thought of Ye Fan's teachings and suddenly looked humble: "Thanks to my father and husband for their teachings."

These words made Cao Cao even more happy and completely ignored his other two sons.

This scene made Cao Pi bite his silver teeth tightly, and the hostility in his heart intensified again.

Cao Chong said that the elephant was in the limelight, and all the civil and military officials came forward to praise him.

This is a great opportunity to please Cao Cao.

Listening to the praise of Cao Chong, Cao Cao smiled unconsciously on his face, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

After all, he is his designated successor, and he can at least continue to struggle for many more years. When the time comes, he will inherit the great cause to Cao Chong, and he feels relieved.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Ye Fan in the crowd, with some relief in his eyes.

Ye Fan is very young and can continue to assist Cao Chong.

Then you can feel at ease.

"Everyone, I plan to hunt in the field tomorrow to show my strength to the world. I will go with the emperor then. My lords, please don't forget it."

Cao Cao looked at the civil and military officials in front of him and said with a smile.

Naturally, no one among the civil and military officials dared to object, and they all nodded in agreement.

Ye Fan, Xun Yu and others were all standing together, wondering why Cao Cao suddenly wanted to go hunting in the field. Is there any purpose?
Cao Cao had a smile on his face and his eyes were extremely deep.

……

The next day, Liu Xie was still in the palace and didn't know what happened.

Cao Cao had already gathered a large army outside the city and personally selected good horses, goshawks, yellow dogs, bows and arrows, etc.

After preparing everything, he entered the palace and invited Liu Xie to hunt.
