:“?”广曹操:“?”:“‘。’。”:“!”The song made they sang it with him and were all exceedingly merry, save one guest who suddenly said, "When the great army is on the point of battle and lives are about to be risked, why do you, O Prime Minister, speak such ill words?" Cao Cao turned quickly toward the speaker, who was Liu Fu, Imperial Protector of Yangzhou. This Liu Fu sprang from Hefei. When first appointed to his post, he had gathered in the terrified and frightened people and restored order. He had founded schools and encouraged the people to till the land. He had long served under Cao Cao and rendered valuable service. When Liu Fu spoke, Cao Cao dropped his spear to the level and said, "What ill-omened words did I use?" "You spoke of the moon paling the stars and the raven flying southward without finding a resting place. These are ill-omened words." "How dare you try to belittle my endeavor?" cried Cao Cao, very wrathful. And with that he smote Liu Fu with his spear and slew him. The assembly broke up, and the guests dispersed in fear and confusion.
