Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 175 You Can Marry Your Daughter
"Caught Liu Bei?"

"Yes!"

Xiahou Dun excitedly told He Yan what happened just now——

"I was originally in the south of Xinye to guard against Xiangyang's army. I didn't expect a few cavalry to suddenly appear in Xinye City. Look again, hey! Isn't this a coincidence!"

Xiahou Dun, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei are all old acquaintances, and there is no such thing as a wrong person, so he immediately ordered all [-] cavalrymen under his command to arrest them.

"No matter how powerful Liu Bei is, how could he escape so many cavalrymen on the plain? Wouldn't he capture Liu Bei alive! Hahahaha! This time Mengde will come back and give him a surprise!"

Xiahou Dun spoke happily, but He Yan scratched his head, looked back at the inner room of the Xinye County Government, and asked Xiahou Dun tentatively: "Uncle Yuan Rang...Look, can you let Liu Bei go?"

Xiahou Dun: ? ? ?

Putting his hand on He Yan's head, Xiahou Dun put his arm down after confirming that the temperature of He Yan's brain was the same as his own.

"Yulang, are you stunned? That's Liu Bei! Sikong's sworn enemy! You actually want to let him go?"

He Yan's fingers were all mixed together, and he began to think about the consequences of catching Liu Bei.

First of all, it is impossible to let go.

Cao Cao could choose to let Guan Yu go because Guan Yu is just a "general" and at best has the potential to evolve into a "handsome".

Moreover, Guan Yu's cold and arrogant temperament, after being released alone, can at most reach the level of "Zhang Xiu", not even the level of "Gongsun Zan". This kind of person is not a big threat to Cao Cao.

But Liu Bei is different.

Liu Bei is a real "big brother in the lead", and he can flourish in any place he is placed.

Not to mention that after experiencing the betrayal of the gentry in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's edges and corners were basically polished, and he began to choose to "collaborate" with the aristocratic family.In the past, the ultimate version of "Emperor Han Zhaolie" may appear in front of the world.

The issue is……

After killing Liu Bei, people like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Boss Cao will still feel a little uncomfortable.

And there are Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi... Ahem!This is not the point!

He Yan thought for a long time in front of Xiahou Dun alone, and finally made a decision.

"Uncle Yuan Rang, are you sure you want to bring Liu Bei back?"

"Ok?"

Xiahou Dun may not have made many achievements in politics, but it does not mean that the pillar of the country has no wisdom.

In addition, Xiahou Dun is very familiar with Cao Cao, and also knows Cao Cao's complicated and contradictory thoughts.

If Liu Bei is really brought back, what should Cao Cao do with Liu Bei is really a headache for everyone.

"Yulang, what do you think?"

Xiahoudun wanted to hear He Yan's opinion.

"Uncle Yuan Rang, do you have a short knife?"

Hiding a dagger in his cuff button, He Yan took a deep breath: "Where's Liu Bei? I want to see him."

barracks.

Liu Bei is one of the most prestigious people in the world, even if he is a prisoner, his treatment is different from others.

There are no ropes restricting movement, no insulting beatings and scolding, but let him put on clean clothes and enjoy fine wine and food in a separate military tent.

But Liu Bei didn't have much interest in the things in front of him that could only satisfy his appetite.

He stared blankly at the food in front of him. His heroic brows were sometimes angry and sometimes sad, but the most common thing was the confusion that had spread to his eyes.

"Hula."

The curtains of Liu Bei's camp were lifted, and what appeared in front of Liu Bei was a handsome boy who was so handsome.

This boy's skin is fair and bright, even compared to Mrs. Gan, who was called the "Jade Beauty" by her predecessors. When it comes to the exquisite facial features, she surpasses anyone Liu Bei has ever seen.

Liu Bei only knows one person who has this appearance and is still in the barracks.

"I met Marquis Shen."

Liu Bei got up and saluted He Yan, and he didn't make a bad face at He Yan because of the hostile relationship between the two.

At this moment, Liu Bei was not talking to Cao Cao's adopted son He Yan, but was talking to the big man Shenhou and Yao Xiaowei.

"General Zuo is exempt."

He Yan sat opposite Liu Bei, looked at the untouched food on Liu Bei's table and asked, "Could it be that the food in the camp doesn't suit the general's taste?"

"Bei was born in the army, and he can swallow cold food and raw food, so why would he dislike hot food?"

After Liu Bei took his seat again, he glanced at He Yan's sleeves indiscriminately, but there was nothing wrong with it.

It was the first time that He Yan had the opportunity to look at Liu Bei up close.

Liu Bei, who is from Youzhou, is not as tall as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but his thick eyebrows and big ears can easily make people ignore his flaws, and draw everyone's attention to Liu Bei's face.

The face was neither kind nor generous.

Even upon closer inspection, there was a vicious look.

But it is such a person, who is full of "benevolence and righteousness" in his heart, and struggles to move forward in this troubled world, becoming a rare color in the troubled world.

"Mr. Xuande, I have admired your name for a long time."

"I also often hear praises from Madam and Zilong, and I am grateful to Shenhou for taking care of them in Xuchang. It seems that you and I have been friends for a long time, and it is really gratifying to meet today. "

After two or three simple sentences, He Yan shook his head and said, "My friendship with Duke Xuande is just a friendship, far inferior to the friendship between Duke Xuande and my father. Since Duke Xuande and my father can't get along together, seeing me How can you be happy after that?"

When Liu Bei heard He Yan mentioning Cao Cao, he just raised his arm, but put it down again soon.

"I have no personal grievances with Cao Mengde."

"I know."

He Yan nodded lightly: "If it's really just a personal grievance, or a competition like a battle between princes, my father will never forget Mr. Xuande."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing: "Never forget it? I think it's because you hate it deeply?"

He Yan frowned: "Could it be that in the eyes of Duke Xuande, my father is such a narrow-minded person?"

Liu Bei: ...

This time Liu Bei didn't answer, but asked He Yan after a long time: "Is Meng De's headache better?"

"Since I read Chen Lin's essay, I have recovered pretty well!"

He Yan told a joke, and then said sternly: "Even if my father is in pain, he will definitely not let us juniors know. Fortunately, I have invited the doctor Hua Tuo to Xuchang before. With his care, the symptoms should be relieved."

Liu Bei was surprised: "But that Hua Tuo who healed Yuanlong."

"Exactly."

"That's good."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "If Yuanlong's disease can be cured, then Hua Tuo's medical skills must be excellent. If there is such a doctor by Meng De's side, Meng De's body will definitely be better."

"Ok?"

Liu Bei saw that there seemed to be a strange expression on He Yan's face, so he asked: "Shen Hou thinks that my words are inappropriate?"

He Yan watched Liu Bei for a long time, and after confirming that Liu Bei really didn't know the truth, he told him the news of Chen Deng's death.

"Yuanlong... died?"

The news in ancient times was blocked, and Liu Bei was far away in Xinye, so he really didn't know much about the news that Chen Deng had passed away last year.

Hearing of Chen Deng's death suddenly at this time, Liu Bei was speechless for a while, clenching his fist silently with a grim expression.

"Another old friend died..."

Chen Deng is more than just an old friend to Liu Bei?

After Tao Qian's death, if it weren't for Chen Deng's strong support for Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not have been able to take the position of Xuzhou Mu.

It can be said that if Liu Bei hadn't lost Xuzhou, then Chen Deng would be Liu Bei's Xun Yu and Zhou Yu.

Before Xiao Wolong came out of the mountain, Chen Deng was the most important adviser to Liu Bei in his career. With such a friendship, it is no wonder that Liu Bei fell into a gaffe in front of He Yan.

a long time……

Liu Bei opened his fist lightly and closed his eyes as if remembering.

"During the 400 years of the great man, when has there been such a troubled world?"

Waves of the times hit Liu Bei one after another, making him a little suffocated.

"Yes."

He Yan agreed with Liu Bei's words.

"If it's not a troubled time now, Duke Xuande and my father should be ministers in the same hall, helping the country together. Maybe I can still call Duke Xuande "Uncle"! No... If there were no troubled times, I should be a serious son now The grandson of the Great General of the Eight Classics, even the Emperor of the Great Han should be my uncle, maybe I can marry your daughter as a wife..."

No one wants troubled times to come.

Including the so-called careerists, heroes, and reckless heroes.

Troubled times have never been the stage for these people.Troubled times are chaotic times, chaotic times that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones.

Liu Bei was a little surprised when He Yan said this: "Shenhou has such insight at a young age?"

He Yan chuckled and ignored Liu Bei.

"Then Xuande, what do you think is the cause of the troubled times?"

"Is it because of Zhang Jiao, or because of the Han Dynasty? Or because of my grandfather, He Jin? Or Dong Zhuo, who caused chaos?"

Liu Bei had obviously thought about this question, and when he heard He Yan's question, he said his answer without hesitation: "Of course it's because there are successive officials and thieves in the government and the opposition!"

"Because there are evildoers rampant in the ruling and opposition parties, the common people have no way of life! Only then will there be such troubled times as the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

He Yan was very happy: "Then Mr. Xuande means that Zhang Jiao is not wrong?"

"Ok?"

Liu Bei didn't expect He Yan to ask about Zhang Jiao, and after some hesitation, he finally nodded heavily.

"Marquis Shen is young, so he should only know that the members of the Yellow Turban Sect are thieves who block the road and loot."

"But when I was as old as Marquis Shen...or a little older than Marquis Shen, I didn't see Taiping Dao like this."

When talking about the Yellow Turban Sect, Liu Bei's tone was somber.

"At that time, the local officials all had their own corpses, and they didn't care about the lives of the people. After collecting land rent and land taxes, they no longer cared about the lives of the people. It was the Taiping Taoists who helped the people in the states and counties."

"It's not just about eating, even if someone in the family is sick and cannot afford a doctor, the followers of Taiping Dao will help him heal for free. And..."

From Liu Bei's ramblings, He Yan heard a completely different Yellow Turban Sect.

The Yellow Turban Sect before the Yellow Turban Rebellion seemed to be the only light in the troubled times, encouraging the people to live on.

It wasn't until the end that he couldn't bear it anymore that Zhang Jiao yelled on behalf of all the people in the world, "Heaven is dead, and Huang Tian should stand!"

It's just that after this slogan, the vision of "world auspiciousness" has not been realized.

Huang Tian died, and Zhang Jiao also died.

What is left to the heavens is only the flames of war and famine in one place.

"So at that time I thought, it's not that the sky is dead."

Liu Bei's eyes gradually changed from the nostalgia when talking about the past to the determination to implement his life ambitions——

"God, I'm just sick!"

"The Son of Heaven has no power! His relatives are in power! This is the biggest cause of illness in the sky!"

"The root cause of troubled times is not the common people, but the central government!"

Liu Bei stared at He Yan closely: "This time, do you know why I parted ways with Meng De?"

"Meng De, like me, thinks that the sky is sick. But our methods are very different. This is destined to make me and him enemies in this life!"

He Yan said "Yes", "I see."

"so……"

He Yan suddenly found a funny question: "To some extent, Duke Xuande is actually a practitioner of Zhang Jiao's lineage?"

Liu Bei still agreed with the behavior of the Yellow Turban Sect at the beginning, and even wanted to "plagiarize" the "yellow sky" world depicted by the Yellow Turban Sect, and become the ideal world of the Han Dynasty.

but……

He Yan is not interested in the world that Liu Bei wants to achieve.

Because to put it bluntly, don't look at Liu Bei's diligent appearance of an old scalper pulling a cart, in fact, his footsteps have never been firmly on the ground.

Like Zhang Jiao and the others, Liu Bei has more limitations than Cao Cao because of his background and blood.

Like Zhang Jiao, he thought that if the world was smashed, the world would automatically change for the better...

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei, like Zhang Jiao, is a warmonger!
"Mr. Xuande."

He Yan didn't want to argue with Liu Bei, after all, he didn't have the arrogance to act recklessly.

"Whether it's the so-called "World of Yellow Heaven", or the "World of Benevolence and Righteousness" you're after, or whatever goal someone wants to achieve..."

"I just want to say, since everyone is pursuing the same goal, why can't we sit down and talk peacefully together?"

He Yan raised a hand: "This is Duke Xuande."

After that, He Yan raised his other hand: "This is my father."

"Maybe the paths you want to take are different, but the final destination must be the same."

He Yan held his right hand with his left hand.

"War is never the only option!"

Originally, He Yan did not have any hope for Liu Bei.

But just now Liu Bei told him about the Yellow Turban Sect, and He Yan was able to win over Liu Bei.

Liu Bei indeed supported the "Han Dynasty" and supported the "imperial power".But at the same time, he stood on the side of the common people, and undoubtedly sat on the side of the common people.

But he was brainwashed by the Confucian set of ruling tools, always thinking that "the stability of the imperial power" means "the people have a good life".

These two things are definitely not a simple causal relationship, and even a negative feedback relationship to a certain extent.

As long as he can untie the iron chain in Liu Bei's mind made of secularism, imperial power, and Confucianism, then Liu Bei may really be able to join the camp of Xinxue!
embarrassingly...

When He Yan was clenching fists, a dagger slipped from his cuff and landed between He Yan and Liu Bei with a "ding dong".

"Forehead."

He Yan blinked, and said to Liu Bei with some guilt: "Mr. Xuande, do you believe me when I say this is a habit I have developed since childhood?"

Liu Bei: "..."
