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

Chapter 78 Jealousy Makes Me Unrecognizable!
"Xuande!"

Cao Cao greeted Liu Bei at the gate of the government office.

Liu Guan and Zhang got off their horses. Liu Bei was still wearing a gray robe, a black belt, and a simple bun on his head. His eyes seemed excited.

"Mr. Cao, we will see you again after a few months. Xuande really misses you. If it wasn't for the heavy snow at the end of the year, he would have gone to Juancheng to have a long talk with Mr. Cao."

"The world is falling apart. I heard that the emperor is in a state of chaos. I feel uneasy. I am finally the supreme body, but Li Guo treats it as a plaything. Such a disaster is really... alas."

Liu Bei's expression was very resentful, Cao Cao held his wrist tightly, and walked into the government office together.

Guo Fengxiao stood at the door, holding the salute with both hands in front of him, watching with a blank expression, but the accompanying civil and military personnel were somewhat moved.

Now there are not many princes whose hearts are devoted to the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Bei is not considered a vassal, his reputation has gradually risen. His achievements in supporting the Han Dynasty have not been wiped out for many years, and he has always been there.

This man is so powerful, he misses the emperor to such an extent, he is devoted to strengthening the Han Dynasty, and his loyalty will move others.

If so, how to kill it?
Guo Jia secretly moved this idea.

But quietly shook his head.

Unless the second Yuan is dead, he can be killed. Besides, no matter what reason is used to kill him, it will plant the root of trouble for the future struggle with Yuan Shao.

Killing the clansmen of the Han family will scatter people's hearts, especially now that they have just gained fame and people get together, this person should be respected and treated.

In just a few breaths, Guo Jia made three attempts to kill, but he suppressed them all.

Although he understands that killing himself has no effect.

However, as a counselor, he should still advise the lord not to kill.

It can't be ruined. The situation is very good at this time.

"Hahaha! Come to Xuande, let me introduce to you, this is also the sacrificial wine in our army, Guo Jia, named Fengxiao."

"This is, after King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei of Zhuo County, Liu Xuande," Cao Cao said with a smile at Guo Jia, "I was also an old friend of mine back then. We met during the alliance, but if we were talking about acquaintance...in fact, We have known each other since Luoyang."

"During the Xiping period, I had heard of the reputation of brother Xuande."

"Mr. Cao is absurd."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

"Well, it's not absurd praise. If it weren't for the fact that after the Yellow Turban, those who were officials because of their military exploits were washed away, I am afraid that Xuande should now have two thousand stones on one side. With your brother's intelligence and heart, I am afraid that Jizhou would not have my original brother. What's the matter?" Cao Cao slapped Liu Bei and laughed loudly.

Liu Bei didn't dare to admit these words, he immediately bowed and waved his hands quickly.

"Mr. Cao, don't want that little brother to be joking. How dare you compare him with Yuan Cheqi of the fourth generation and third master."

But Zhang Fei liked to hear these words. He was cheerful behind him, and followed Cao Cao's words: "It is definitely not better than Yuan Shao, but it should not be that Xiao Pei is the only one who is inferior. The talent of my elder brother can also make the people live in peace. Remember the greatness of the Han Dynasty, the more territory the better.”

Cao Cao's smile froze for a moment.

Liu Bei stopped immediately, and at this moment, Guan Yu gave Zhang Fei a hand, and said to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, my third brother is reckless, and his words are not rude."

"Ha ha!"

When Cao Cao saw Guan Yu, he was very happy. At this time, he passed Liu Bei and took his hand. He pulled him all the way to him, and said calmly in the middle period: "Yide has always been like this, and he is outspoken. How can I not know? You three brothers, don't you think so?" I still don’t understand? It’s just expressing the ambition in my heart.”

"That's right, Mr. Cao is really kind to us!"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said no more, he naturally understood that he had said something wrong.

That night, Cao Cao held a banquet in honor of Liu Bei.

During the banquet, there were Chen's father and son, as well as many counselors from Yingchuan County.

All of them have already belonged to Cao Cao and accompanied him around.

And it was Chen Ji who acted as the prefect.

Liu Bei toasted with these talented and famous people one by one, expressing gratitude for the kindness of the Han Dynasty, but although he saw so many famous people, at the end of the banquet, he felt depressed in his heart.

Almost all the celebrities in Yingchuan, the young talents, are already here.

For example, Chen Qun and Chen Ji.

Some talented people from the Guo family, and even young people from the Zhong family, were all at the banquet, but these people all belonged to Cao Cao.

They don't empathize with every word.

Gradually, the banquet guests dispersed, and only a few people were left. On the left side, Guo Fengxiao was drinking non-stop, his face did not change at all, as if he would never get drunk.

On the right is brother Liu Xuande, Zhang Fei is still interested, and Guan Yu is concise and concise from beginning to end, with his own dignity.

At this time, Liu Bei finished his last drink, cupped his hands and sighed to Cao Cao: "Alas, the world is in chaos today, and I am very lucky to have a foothold in a corner. Bei is very lucky... The northern Hebei is chaotic and the emperor is unknown. How can I be safe!"

Chen Ji was already overwhelmed with alcohol, and Cao Cao sent someone to send him home. At this time, there was Chen Qun in the guest seat, and he immediately laughed and bowed his hands to Liu Bei: "It is true, Duke Xuande really cares about the world, which is admirable. "

"Oh, that's ridiculous."

Liu Bei waved his hand, took another breath of relief, and was about to continue speaking in a forward-looking way, and when he was about to express his inner ambitions, Chen Qun suddenly changed the topic again.

"However, now that the lord is here, there is hope for the Han Dynasty."

Chen Qun bowed to Cao Cao, and then stood up and said: "Since the Dong Bandit Rebellion, the people have no food to eat, the world is full of hunger and death, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have reappeared. It really makes people miserable."

"Let's not talk about people, even the horses have no fodder to eat, and it's not just the people who starve to death?"

"But now, Yanzhou and Xuzhou have allowed the people to live in peace within a few years. Most of the fields are sericulture, rice ears, and millet. The benevolence and power of the lord have spread far and wide."

"The corporal is so respectful and thirsty for talents. From Xuzhou to Yuzhou, there are all my big fellows who are attached to the lord. From this point of view, the lord should be a hero in this troubled world."

"Heroes save the world and bring peace to the people, mend the sky with one hand."

Liu Bei's upper body leaned back slightly, and suddenly fell silent.

Shut up, there is nothing I like to hear...

I knew I wouldn't speak...

I started it, why was it taken as a compliment by others to praise Mr. Cao, you can start your own, can't you? !

I really lament the sufferings of the world, what do you take me for!

I only mend the sky with my hands, I hate...

Liu Bei took a sip of the wine.

Jealousy makes me unrecognizable!
"Hahaha," Cao Cao immediately burst into laughter, but still raised his hand to stop Chen Qun, and sighed, "Oh, I can only laugh for the people who have benefited from the government and live in peace, but I still care about those refugees who are in dire straits. "

"However, Yingchuan and Runan are now under my rule, and the rest of the counties and counties will all come under my control in the near future. The chaos in Yuzhou should be put down, and the people here are also fortunate."

"Therefore, there is something I want to ask Xuande."

"Huh? Please tell me, Mr. Ming."

Liu Bei immediately cheered up and stood up.

"I remember that Yuan Shu once appointed you as the shepherd of Yuzhou, is that true or not?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from left to right, and then sighed: "Ming Gong, you are joking, what Yuan Gonglu did was nothing more than washing me away. He only said this recommendation after I arrived in Xuzhou. Its purpose couldn't be more obvious, it should be to set him down on fire."

"Yuzhou Mu, how can Yuan Gonglu seal it? Why didn't Duke Ming say that when the alliance was held, he would fork me out of the meeting hall."

Cao Cao chuckled, "You still remember that."

"Well, but besides him, there is another person who recommended you. The original words are that Mr. Xuande is benevolent and loves the people. He can be an official of one party and will definitely make one party prosperous."

"Oh? Who?"

Liu Bei was quite surprised. Under Cao Cao's command, is there anyone who can appreciate me?

"Xu Bowen."

Cao Cao smiled.

And when he said these words, the rest of the people in the entire lobby fell into silence, as if they were still.

The only thing moving slowly in his line of sight was Guan Yu stroking his beard and nodding his head slightly, but his eyes, which were originally slightly empty, looked at Cao Cao and opened slightly at the same time.

Liu Bei sat back slumped, his face became dull all of a sudden, he was not happy at all, instead his vest tightened, and cold sweat immediately flowed out.

That's the first thought that comes to mind at the moment.

Can't stay.

I can't stay by Cao Cao's side absolutely, I must leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will be murdered by him!

Although he doesn't know how to do it now, he will definitely find an opportunity. Maybe Cao Cao has already moved to kill.

At this moment, Cao Cao was still smiling lightly.

But Liu Bei felt that there was a knife in the invisible, which had already reached his vest. If he was not careful next time, the knife would immediately penetrate into his body.

"Berwin?"

Although Liu Bei's heart was extremely complicated, he still laughed, looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, and said, "Why did Bowen recommend me?"

"Could it be that I set up a matchmaker for him and want to repay the favor?"

Cao Cao grinned, "Hey, maybe that's the matter."

"Thanks to Xuande, I just now understood what Bowen likes."

"Bowen has kindness to my Cao family, and I will definitely cherish it very much. It's just that in the past he was upright and honest, and never accepted any gifts. Now I understand that he likes a beautiful wife like a flower, and Xuande really has you."

"Then it's not surprising," Liu Bei said heartbroken.

Lowering his head slightly, he replied with great emotion.

Cao Cao's words are too obvious.

He will cherish it very much.

Liu Bei has come late, so don't call Xu Zhen's attention again in the future, this is a warning.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If they are still warning, they will not kill people for the time being.

However, I didn't expect that Bowen would directly inform Cao Cao and recommend me. In this way, it is indeed very decisive to repay the original affection.

Bowen, Bowen, is it true that I, Liu Xuande, do not catch your eyes at all?
……

After the banquet.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia sat facing each other in the inner room.

Guo Jia leaned closer and asked, "Master, did Bowen really recommend it?"

Cao Cao laughed, "Of course not."

"Then why?"

Cao Cao kept laughing, and pondered for a while before he said, "It's just to help Bowen repay the favor."

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, and a look of understanding suddenly appeared on his thin and handsome face. He looked at Cao Cao with admiration in his eyes, and his emotions became high, "As expected of the lord!"

"Your Majesty understands that in addition to repaying favors, you can also let Liu Bei and other people who claim to be relatives of the Han family achieve something and entrust them with important responsibilities, so that they can be seen by the world and let them all think of the goodness of the lord."

"Not only that, because we have collected the hearts of all the scholars in Yingchuan in advance, these officials must sincerely follow the lord, and Liu Bei will be the shepherd of Yuzhou in the future, and he will just make good use of his talents."

"After many years, Yuzhou will really be well-governed and prosperous. Liu Bei will not be able to take away anything except the name of a good official. Such a master is equivalent to one action and three gains."

"Hey..." Cao Cao immediately smiled brightly, pointed at Guo Jia, and said relaxedly, "Those who know me, Fengxiao also."

This Guo Fengxiao, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. He is quick-witted and quick-witted, so he can understand what I mean, and he will definitely accomplish great things if he is brought by his side in the future.

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Guo Jia bowed deeply, his face became more respectful, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Yuzhou Mu, you can handle official business in Xu County. Since we have designated Xu County as an important place, we can definitely move the government here in the future. Liu Bei is right under my nose, so what?"

"This Yuzhou shepherd, he must accept it. Once he accepts it, it will not be easy to go out again. I can give him a few years, or he will accept his fate and surrender to me, and let his second brother come to charge for me."

"It turns out that my lord is for Guan Yunchang..." Guo Fengxiao raised his head slightly with a half-smile, and suddenly realized that this was the first time he knew that Cao Cao liked his second brother so much in his heart.

But thinking about it, why doesn't Liu Xuande like Xu Bowen?

Guo Jia secretly observed Liu Bei's expression today, and he already saw the clue.

"Fengxiao has been taught."

Guo Jia stood up and bowed deeply.

Cao Cao's chess move made him admire in his heart.

Originally, I was still persuading him not to kill Liu Bei, but also not to reuse Liu Bei, how to balance it, so it seems that this is indeed a clever plan.

Cao Cao can't hold too many lands at the same time. Yuzhou is herded to Liu Bei, and Cao Cao will station his troops and horses in Yuzhou in the future.

Moreover, the longer Liu Bei has been the shepherd of Yuzhou, the more difficult it is to stand up again. In the future, there are really only two choices, either run faster, or really surrender, and no longer have great ambitions.

As the world gradually stabilizes, the current situation will also stabilize, and the so-called "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law" in the Art of War will all undergo essential changes.

"Haha, Feng Xiao's praise, I also have to rely on your talent."

"In the future, you need to know my heart before we can discuss a perfect plan."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Guo Jia's eyes were full of passion and pride, as if he was full of confidence in the future war.

"Yuan Shao from Jizhou is definitely not as good as my lord."

He murmured.

Hearing this, Cao Cao felt that there seemed to be other emotions in Guo Jia's heart. He immediately approached him and said in a low voice, "Feng Xiao, to tell you the truth, I was not as good as Yuan Shao when I was young because of my family background."

"Now I really feel that Yuan Benchu ​​is by no means as good as me, hahaha!!"

Cao Cao's words gradually became more confident, as if they were floating in mid-air. These heroic words really dazzled Guo Jia, and made him feel more confident.

Cao Ying like this is the right choice to rectify the world.

Zhicai did not deceive me.

The young conspirator has Bowen, and Mr. Ang is so outstanding, both benevolent and strategic, and he is not afraid of the long-term.

Wonderful too.
