Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 147 Xu Bowen is Qigong, it can piss off a person!
"Hehehe, Bowen likes to ask questions, but Xuande can answer them."

This shows that Cao Cao also wanted to ask.

The main reason is that it's interesting to see Liu Bei's stunned look.

Thinking about it carefully, how could anyone ask such a question? Isn't this rushing to tear open the wound and sprinkle salt.

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, his emotions seemed to be interrupted by this question.

I was quite confused for a while.

It took a while to recover, and he cupped his hands and said, "At that time, I was the one who wanted to save the people of Xuzhou when I heard that Xuzhou was in trouble."

"No way," Xu Zhen said immediately with a twitch of his mouth, "Zilong told me that it was because Gongsun Zan put Liu Youzhou under house arrest and violated public opinion. At that time, it seemed that many generals were against it and advised him to let Liu Youzhou go back."

"Who knows that the conflict between the two has already reached the point of irreconcilability, so at that time, many people who followed General Gongsun also left disappointed."

Xu Zhen talked eloquently, speaking with great certainty, and this was not a guesswork, but the words really came from Zhao Yun's mouth.

After knowing these things, many things Xu Zhen didn't understand instantly became clear.

"Then it's not surprising," Cao Cao suddenly realized, pretending to have just heard about it, but he was already peeping at Liu Bei.

This scene is really interesting.

Xu Bowen was unambiguous when he was angry, his mouth was poisonous...he probably used qigong.

"Then you know—"

At this moment Liu Bei almost didn't stand up directly, and after glancing at Dian Wei next to him, he quickly sat down vigilantly.

At the same time, he immediately swallowed the words again, blushed slightly, regained his usual elegance, and then smiled lightly: "What Bo Wen said is very true, it was indeed so at the beginning."

"However, Bei is different from others, mainly because I heard that the people of Xuzhou are afraid of being slaughtered, and a catastrophe is imminent."

After finishing speaking, he showed a smile of admiration to Cao Cao, "Who would have thought that Mr. Cao would have such a heart and benevolence to treat the people to such an extent that he opened warehouses to release grain to the people who suffered from the war. I feel ashamed in my heart, so I immediately abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and rushed to Ming Gong's command."

"It's been several years now."

Cao Cao was greatly relieved when he heard the words. So far, he still deeply believes that this is one of the few correct things he has done.

"Well... that's all, these are old things, let's not talk about it, but when it comes to Gongsun Zan, he has spent ten years on the frontier and formed the White Horse Yi Cong. He is really an incomparable person."

It is said that at that time Gongsun Zan was still the bastard of the family, and he was not welcome to be seen, so he went to the border to become famous. Because of his beauty, voice, and brave demeanor, he would shout loudly and defeat the enemy every time he fought, and he was loved by the soldiers under his command.

Therefore, he became famous within a few years, and won the support of the nearby nobles, and they all followed him, and he became the later white horse righteous follower.

When Zhao Yun left, Gongsun Zan had already been well-known far and wide, so he was not considered important, but only one of the cavalry commanders under his command.

"But I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be able to defeat it."

"Ah," Liu Bei followed with a sigh, "This is why people's hearts are lost. If Brother Bogui didn't make a mistake, how could he be in such a state."

"He and Liu Youzhou have always been at odds. I didn't expect that they were still fighting until the end. Liu Youzhou has the demeanor of a virtuous monarch. Even if Yuan Shao wanted to push him to be the emperor of the east, the people actually supported him."

"Such public opinion is really rare in the world."

"Well, not bad!" Cao Cao felt grateful at this time, and couldn't help but gradually began to smile. Liu Bei's words touched his heart.

People's hearts are so important.

Cao Cao used to think that talent and the general trend were the foundation of his great career. Since he tasted the sweetness of the people's desire in Xuzhou, he couldn't give up no matter what.

People's hearts are sometimes sharper than soldiers and horses, and the emperor's edict is also the same.

At this moment, several people were talking while eating and cooking wine.

On the one hand, I was chatting miscellaneously, starting with Gongsun Zan, talking about the customs of Youzhou, and the unique salt market and fish market. If I do business with foreigners, I get a lot of money and food every year.

And now, the horses outside Lulong are very difficult to raise, because the grass does not grow, and the grazing is not as developed as in Bingzhou, Xiliang, Hebei and other places, so those foreigners who rely on horses for survival are all weak.

Naturally, after a few fights, they would pay tribute in exchange for peace, or trade at a low price, allowing Youzhou to earn money and resources for nothing.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao was quite pleased.

"Heroes come forth in large numbers today. Although the heroes are divided and the princes are fighting, they are still fighting among themselves."

Cao Cao laughed lightly, and said disdainfully: "Any one of the princes and generals occupying the land can also make the surrounding animals surrender. This is a blessing in the midst of war."

Xu Zhen took it for granted.

Guoheng died because of weakness, but Han died because of strength.

This sentence is really not blown out, even if the big man is in trouble, the real invasion is the Sima's disaster.

Of course, it may also be that in this war-torn era, too many heroes and heroes died, as well as the population.

The longer the war, the greater the population damage, which is not conducive to recuperation.

Liu Bei was still emotional when he heard the words, "Although there are many heroes, they all work on their own and cannot help the Han together. If they return to the Han court at this time, they will return to the prosperous age in less than ten years. There should be hundreds of clans coming to the court." .”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao knew that this was just a good wish. Now that all the princes will not surrender, the only way to return to unification is by fighting!

"Brother Xuande, it's a bit too naive to say that. Since you mentioned the heroes of the world, in your opinion, who can be called a hero?"

Cao Cao's face was slightly drunk, he narrowed his eyes, and suddenly stared at Liu Bei, which made him stunned.

Then, he frowned and thought about it.

"This..." Liu Bei folded his hands in his sleeves, sat up a little bit straighter, and said after a while: "Lü Bu is a hero, he killed Dong Zhuo and protected the emperor, and he was named Marquis of Wen and General. Someone caught Lu Bu's horse in the red With the reputation of the rabbit, there are eight strong generals under his command, who charge into battle for it, Wen You—"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused for a moment, and then continued: "In short, a brave hero should have a place for Lu Bu."

The literati around Lu Bu might make Cao Cao unhappy if they said it. Liu Bei almost forgot that Chen Gong had betrayed Cao Cao.

Sure enough, when Cao Cao heard the word "Wen You", the smile on his face stiffened a little.

"That's not right," Xu Zhen immediately said: "What's the use of being brave without ambition? Look at some people, there are two of them who claim to be enemies of ten thousand people!! The eight masters are no match for the reputation of two enemies of ten thousand people. What great ambitions do you have? Isn’t it also living under the hero?”

Liu Bei's face froze suddenly, as if petrified.

My heart was pinched, and it gradually turned red, as if I had never been ridiculed like this before.

It was like a pot that was about to boil, and the lid of the pot could no longer cover the boiling in the pot.

Therefore, after forcibly suppressing it, Liu Bei's face immediately darkened.

Of course Cao Cao was happy.

Looking at Liu Bei with a smile, seeing him taking a sip of wine, he became more and more eager to speak.

"The king's words are too arbitrary! Everyone has their own ambitions, as long as they help the big man, there is no place to do something! Why are you so blunt! These words are like a severe cold in your heart!!"

Liu Bei couldn't help it anymore, what the hell is this Xu Bowen doing here today! ?
If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as dumb, okay? !

Cao Cao laughed directly, and was about to persuade.

The two are enemies of ten thousand people, I am afraid that the deaf can hear who they are talking about! !
What a Xu Bowen, when I go back, I will ask Yu'er to give you sweet ears in person, and I will reward you fiercely! !

It's just that these words are not cryptic at all, I'm afraid it will make Liu Bei lose his temper today...

At this time Dian Wei took a sip of wine and asked loudly, "Who is this person you are talking about?"

Xu Zhen blinked and looked back at him, "Me."

Liu Bei: "???"

Cao Cao was taken aback: "Huh?"

Dian Wei also suddenly realized, his fierce face dissipated, showing a simple and honest smile, "Oh! Yes, Xu Chu and I, right??"

It is true that Zilong has not shown the demeanor of being an enemy of ten thousand enemies. He is just like a swordsman, and most of them pass through the formation gracefully.

The prince praises me as the enemy of ten thousand people!hey-hey!

"Yes, I live under the lord. I have Dian Wei and Xu Chu under my command. They are enemies of ten thousand people, but I don't have great ambitions. I would like to follow the lord to bring peace to the world."

He even took the opportunity to express his determination.

"Besides, am I that kind of narrow-minded rat who hurts people with secret words?" Xu Zhen glared at Dian Wei.

"Hmph." Dian Wei directly lowered his head and gnawed on the meat.

So Xu Zhen turned his head again, looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face and asked, "What is Uncle Huang so anxious about?"

"I, am I in a hurry?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly, and looked at Cao Cao in confusion.

"Yes, Xuande is in a bit of a hurry." Cao Cao nodded and smiled, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back.

"No, haha, I just feel that Bowen's words are too self-effacing, come on! Drink this cup to the brim!"

Liu Bei raised his glass immediately, with a smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

He just hoped that Xu Zhen would stop talking.

Cao Cao also had a drink, and he also hoped that Xu Zhen would stop talking, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.

If he was asked a question when he was talking next, he would probably be pissed off.

Why should I call them both?
It's not too big of a deal just to watch the excitement.

One only knows to eat.

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei in distaste. He didn't need to be on duty today. A Wei was really honest.

It was still the appalling appetite back then.

"Well," Cao Cao glanced at Xu Zhen, "Bowen, don't talk nonsense, it's worrying Xuande, he has already been disturbed by the matter of General Gongsun."

"Yes, Bowen didn't think carefully."

Xu Zhen cupped his hands slightly, still very modest.

Then start to be a little dazed.

He sighed softly.

"Oh, what a waste of a day."

People's sorrows and joys are not connected, I just feel pity.

After Cao Cao said this, Liu Bei's face returned to normal a little bit, which was considered a step down for him.

After all, the matter of Gongsun Zan could indeed make him feel depressed and his thoughts not smooth.

Cao Cao laughed in a deep voice, and said, "However, Lu Bu's bravery is indeed not a hero."

"Then," Liu Bei pondered hard for a moment, and said with a smile, "Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou, who locked Hengjiang in irons and ruled alone in the nine counties of Jingxiang, can he be considered a hero?"

"It's just an old man, a shrunken generation. He can only stick to it and not make progress. How can he be called a hero if he is capable in one domain?"

Cao Cao replied with a smile, and gradually entered the state.

"Then, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, now sits in the land of four states, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, and his generals have more than a thousand generals, with millions of soldiers, he can be called a hero."

Cao Cao's face was slightly solemn, and he pondered for a moment, then said: "Yuan Benchu ​​is headstrong, he doesn't listen to the counselors, and he is resourceful and incessant. There are many factions of counselors under his command, so how can he not disturb the audience, and he is deeply influenced by his family's intrigue. Not a hero."

Liu Bei shook his head bitterly, if these are not counted, who else is considered a hero, "Yizhou Liu Jiyu, Jiangdong Sun Bofu and others."

"No, no."

Cao Cao immediately smiled and waved his hands, "They are not considered heroes, so nothing to worry about if you are a mere idiot."

"Then Xuande doesn't know."

Liu Bei smiled, still thinking about what Cao Cao was going to say.

At this moment, Cao Cao stared at Liu Bei, his expression was steep and heavy, his eyes were sharp and seemed to penetrate everything, and said: "There is one person."

"Living under the temple, but never wavering in his heart, bearing the popularity of the people and not being complacent about it, self-disciplined and dedicated to public affairs without thinking about fame and fortune, setting an example and striving for excellence, never forgetting the original aspiration in Han Dynasty... this man is called a hero."

Xu Zhen: "..."

Isn't that what I said?
He looked up at the sky, there was not a single cloud, and he felt a little anxious for no reason.

Where is Ray?Save me!

"Dare to ask, who is this person?" Liu Bei took a peek at Xu Zhen and asked pretending not to know.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and looked straight at Liu Bei again, saying: "This man has great ambitions, but he hides his strength and bides his time in Xudu. He only keeps company with the fields and hides his heart secretly. How could I not know."

"Entering the game alone, getting the name of the emperor's uncle from the emperor's mouth, and growing stronger through this, can be said to be a chestnut from the fire, so that you can know who it is?"

Liu Bei trembled and stopped speaking.

Cao Cao then moved closer, staring at Liu Bei's face all the time, and said seriously: "Knowing the overall situation, you can see his mind; willing to remain silent, you can see his calmness; taking risks, you can see his courage. Only in this way, can you be called a hero! Heroes in this world, I'm afraid there are only Shijun and Caoer."

Xu Zhen: "Tsk."

Dian Wei also quickly exchanged glances with Xu Zhen.

This is too outrageous, it is really the same as Junhou said!The prime minister really said that, praising others crazily, the last sentence is too high on himself, this is really just like what Junhou said, the artistic content is too high!

Learned, I will say the same next time!
Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth trembled and he looked at Xu Zhen: "What are you talking about!?"

Xu Zhen leaned back slightly, with the same expression as usual: "My stomach hurts."

"Hold it! Shut up!!"

"Okay..." Xu Zhen curled her lips and watched quietly.

At this moment, Liu Bei was holding the chopsticks loosely, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time, but he couldn't wait for an opportunity.

Xu Zhen still read it today. Although there are dark clouds, it is almost impossible to wait until the thunderbolt from the blue sky.

So the scene was a little quiet for a while.

Liu Bei put down his chopsticks, his eyes turned red for a moment, and the hero wept, he clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's love, and the title of being a hero, I really feel ashamed."

"Over half a century old, with no land, like a bereaved dog, leading brothers and relatives to flee, how can one be called a hero."
