Chapter 144 Liu Bei: I always feel that my path has been taken away by others, and I live in the shadow of Cao Cao
After Cao Cao arrived in Juancheng, he quickly asked people to pick green plums, prepare wine, and invite Liu Bei to drink.
This is not without reason. The biggest reason is that the emperor is now welcomed into his hands.
Liu Bei also claimed that he was a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Although Cao Cao, who was familiar with history, knew what Liu Bei's so-called Han clan relatives were like after Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
Today's Han Dynasty is just a lineage of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty. I don't know how many there are.
It has been reached long ago and exists everywhere.
Not to mention, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, alone, had more than 100 sons, and he existed two to three hundred years ago.
The blood relationship has long been separated from the current royal family.
Today's Han Dynasty has so many clan members.
Not to mention the rest, there are many people named Liu in Zhuoxian County where Liu Bei lives.
When you get there, you can ask anyone at random. As long as they have the surname Liu, nine out of ten will be the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
There is no difference from Liu Bei.
Now the man named Liu has been ruling the world for almost 400 years.
After such a long time, the clan members of the Han clan have already become numerous.
Many of them are already lost to everyone.
Many Han clan clan members are just like ordinary people.
Before Liu Bei, it was mainly because he had nothing to offer.
Apart from the title of Han clan clan, it can be said that he has nothing.
Therefore, we can only raise the banner of the Han clan clan high.
But now, these have become a little different.
When the emperor came to his side, the title of clan clan of the Han Dynasty became a little different and began to carry more weight.
The title of Han clan clan was dispensable when Liu Bei was not prosperous.
It may even become a burden.
But when Liu Bei climbed up step by step, his status became higher and higher, and he was approaching the emperor, the title of Han clan clan clan, which originally seemed like a joke, was rapidly increasing in weight.
The higher you go, the greater the benefits that the title of Han clan clan can bring.
Especially now, the emperor, who had just arrived in Xu County, unexpectedly learned Liu Bei's name from somewhere.
Then someone looked through the family tree and was forced to rank up with Liu Bei.
According to seniority, Liu Bei is Liu Xie's uncle.
In other words, Liu Bei became the emperor's uncle.
Cao Cao didn't know whose idea it was.
But no matter whose idea it was, this move was definitely directed at him.
He made this move obviously because he wanted to help the emperor and win over some power.
Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, was personally recognized as an imperial uncle by the emperor under the imperial edict.
So under this situation, Liu Bei was naturally in alliance with the emperor.
Cao Cao expressed disbelief in the fact that Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle.
After all, there are too many things that can be operated here.
As a man of this era and in a high position, Cao Cao had seen all kinds of secret operations and understood it very well.
Moreover, when the Shi Chang Attendant was suffering from cholera in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and others started to punish the officials and burned down some of the palaces.
Chaos ensued again.
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he took the emperor hostage and moved the capital to Chang'an, which also seemed relatively chaotic.
Later, it was even more direct, setting fire to Luoyang.
Many things in Luoyang were destroyed in a sea of fire.
Many classics and books were burned.
The road to Chang'an was also extremely chaotic.
Many classics and files stored in the palace were pulled out to make tents to cover the rain.
There are even bamboo slips that are used to make fires and cook.
After arriving in Chang'an, the emperor and others did not have a good life.
Behind him, there were many courtiers and others from the emperor, who fled from Chang'an to Guandong, and they were even more embarrassed.
At the most miserable time, there were less than a hundred guards around the emperor and others.
All kinds of ministers died like weeds.
Under such circumstances, the Han Dynasty's various classics, documents, files and other things were extremely seriously damaged.
As a result, under this situation, the emperor was able to find the corresponding files in Zongzheng Temple in a short period of time.
Then at an extremely fast speed, he became senior to Liu Bei.
Confirming Liu Bei as his uncle.
There are too many things worth studying here.
After confirming the identity of Emperor Liu Bei's uncle.
Emperor Liu Xie immediately issued an imperial edict to inform the world.
He personally recognized the identity of Emperor Liu Bei's uncle.
At this time, Liu Bei had become Uncle Liu Huang.
The serious kind.
With the emperor and others, after this operation.
So how far apart the bloodline between Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor is, is actually not that important anymore.
It doesn't make much difference whether he is the true uncle of the emperor or not.
In terms of seniority, whether they are compatible or not is also irrelevant.
Now even if it is false, it has become true.
Because the emperor has issued an edict confirming this matter.
And also took out the corresponding files.
Of course, whether this dossier is trustworthy or not is a matter of debate.
With Cao Cao's intelligence, how could he not see that Dong Cheng and others were here to target him?
However, he didn't have much thought about this, he was just trying to find ways to deal with them.
This is also an important reason why Cao Cao came to Juancheng before he had completely finished his affairs in Xuzhou.
In addition to the fact that he had to move the capital and move a lot of things to Xu County, which was a bit troublesome and he needed to make personal arrangements and keep an eye on this matter, there was another important reason.
I just want to come back, meet Liu Bei, and see how Liu Bei is doing.
Cao Cao's move this time was obviously to invite Liu Bei to come here for a drink.
But actually, I wanted to see Liu Bei's reaction.
Cao Cao sat on the stone bench in the pavilion in the backyard, looking at the plate of green plums, the pot of wine and the two wine cups on the stone table in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
His expression changed, and for a moment it was difficult to guess what he was thinking and what kind of response he would have...
At this time, Liu Bei was still in his backyard, weeding and planting vegetables, fertilizing and watering the vegetables he planted.
After Liu Bei's careful care, the vegetables grown in his back garden grew very strongly.
It seems that it can be said to be fruitful and prosperous.
"Mr. Xuande, my lord has invited me."
Liu Bei has been in a panic recently.
The reason for his panic was naturally because the emperor suddenly came.
He also directly said that after checking the files, he was actually ranked the same as him.
Then an imperial edict was issued, appointing him as the emperor's uncle.
His status suddenly took a qualitative leap.
Naturally, this is what Liu Bei wants to see.
But it also brought him huge trouble and made him very panicked.
How could Liu Bei not know that his identity as the emperor's uncle was because the emperor and the courtiers around him wanted to have some fight with Cao Cao, which was why it fell on him.
They want to help themselves out.
Pull yourself to their side.
But the power of the emperor and others is too small now.
And Cao Cao's power was too great.
Under this situation, if he was involved in this kind of thing, the situation would become very difficult.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
However, when people live in the world, they often cannot help themselves.
Even though he really didn't want to see it, others didn't give him this chance.
Now, he was involuntarily involved in this matter.
It's not up to him.
So Liu Bei is in pain and happiness now.
That is to say, I am happy for myself, because the arrival of the emperor and others has greatly improved my status.
Although there was no real improvement, he also knew that in this case, he could get the emperor to recognize him as his uncle.
How much benefit can it bring to myself in the future.
As long as you can operate it well, you will definitely benefit from it in the future!
But he was also worried about it, fearing that Cao Cao would attack him and distrust him.
Under the current situation, he had no chance or ability to resist.
If Cao Cao really attacked him, it would be really difficult for him.
Because of this, Liu Bei has become even more involved in growing vegetables these days.
Here every day, the plants are carefully cared for.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out hunting today and called him to go, but he didn't go.
He was afraid that if he had any outrageous behavior, he would go too far and attract Cao Cao's attention.
As a result, Cao Cao used some means to target him.
This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.
Because of this, Liu Bei heard the people coming from Cao Cao's side, looked at him and said, Cao Cao is inviting.
In my heart, I was so surprised.
I just felt a thump, and there was a feeling that something was wrong.
Fortunately, Liu Bei's determination is relatively strong.
Liu Bei was facing away from Cao Cao.
And his expression immediately returned to normal after changing for a moment.
Therefore, the people on Cao Cao's side did not see anything unusual about Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was really surprised at this time.
He really didn't expect that Cao Cao's people would come at this time and say such things to him.
Shouldn't Cao Cao be in Xu County at this time?
Why did he suddenly return to Juancheng?
And just after coming back, he wants to come to find himself, which is definitely not a good thing!
What's even more terrible is that the second and third brothers are no longer around.
Cao Cao really wanted to attack, but he really didn't have the ability to resist at all.
Liu Bei turned his head, smiled and saluted the people who came, and then said: "Gong Cao came back from Xu County? When did this happen?"
While saying this, Liu Bei glanced outside.
Take all the scenes outside into your eyes.
At this time, there were 30 soldiers and horses following this person.
These people are all Cao Cao's personal soldiers.
Each one has distinctive armor and belongs to the elite.
The person is not good!
This idea suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's mind.
"I don't know, Mr. Cao, why did you call me to come?"
Liu Bei laughed along with him and asked the people coming from Cao Cao's side with a smile.
The people on Cao Cao's side shook their heads and said, "We don't know either.
He only said that he would invite Mr. Xuande to go. "
After Liu Bei heard what this man said, he was even more excited in his heart.
It feels like things are really going wrong.
"Let's go, Mr. Xuande, my master is waiting.
Don't make my lord wait too long. "
The people on Cao Cao's side urged him.Liu Bei naturally didn't want to go.
But at this time, there was no good solution.
he knows.If he doesn't go, it will definitely make Cao Cao even more suspicious.
Then he said: "Okay, let me wash my hands and tidy up my clothes."
As he spoke, he walked to the tub on the side and scooped out some water to wash his hands.
At the same time, he was also thinking quickly about countermeasures in his heart.
I hope that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can return from hunting soon.
It is best to come back at this time, just in time, so best.
In this way, he has some confidence in his heart, so that he will not be too afraid, and he can also be somewhat relied on.
However, Liu Bei's idea obviously failed.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world?
After he washed his hands and tidied his clothes.
As expected, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not come back.
Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't wait any longer.
I had no choice but to sigh secretly and go to see Cao Cao together with the soldiers who invited Cao Cao.
Along the way, he looked calm.
But in my heart, various thoughts were rolling back and forth, and I felt very uneasy.
After some walking, Liu Bei was taken to Cao Cao's mansion by a group of people from Cao Cao's side.
Then it was introduced into the back garden.
At this time, Cao Cao has been sitting here waiting for some time.
Seeing Liu Bei coming, he looked at Liu Bei and said: "Xuande! You have done great things at home!!"
Cao Cao's voice was loud and his face looked serious.
When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked!
At that moment, he hurriedly saluted Cao Cao and said: "Mr. Cao, the emperor's edict to recognize me as the emperor's uncle is too sudden.
I didn't have any preparation before, and I didn't get any news.
I really didn’t expect that I could be ranked as senior as the Emperor.
In my opinion, this matter should be the petty thinking of Dong Cheng and others.
I tried to pull me down, so that Duke Cao would be suspicious of me and disturb Duke Cao's hearing.
If Cao Gong is offended because of this, he will not be happy.
Then I will meet with the emperor next and explain this matter clearly to him.
Please take a closer look.
Check the family tree to see if it matches up. "
When Liu Bei heard what Cao Cao said, he knew about Cao Cao.This is definitely what I came for.
So he was considered a bachelor, so he directly brought up the matter without waiting for Cao Cao to ask further questions.
Not on this matter, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, this is the strategy Liu Bei had in mind this time.
When Cao Cao heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Xuande, I also know about this matter.
This is indeed a cunning plan by Dong Cheng and others.
Dong Cheng and those people didn't know what had deceived them.
Who do you think I, Cao Mengde, am?
I, Cao Mengde, am that kind of person?
One by one, they miss me so much, which is really inappropriate. "
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly after hearing this, indicating that Cao Cao was right.
"Gong Cao is a great man of great integrity and integrity."
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard what Liu Bei said.
I think Liu Bei is a good person.
At the very least, it sounds nice to talk.
I will not talk to Liu Bei about this matter at the moment.
Looking at Liu Bei, he said: "I just said that Xuande did great things at home, but I did not mean that the emperor issued an edict and recognized Xuande as his uncle.
But Xuande actually learned to grow vegetables.
Taking care of farming is not easy. "
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he shook his head secretly and thought, I believe you.
Did you really call me here because I grow vegetables?
Liu Bei did not relax at all because of Cao Cao's words.
Although he was relaxed on the surface, he was still extremely nervous in his heart.
He was always on guard against Cao Cao and suddenly attacked.
The longer you spend time with Cao Cao, the more you understand about Cao Cao.
Liu Bei felt more and more difficult to deal with Cao Cao.
What's even more terrible is that Cao Cao is such a cunning and suspicious person.
But outside, a very benevolent name has emerged!
It has a very high reputation among many people in Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
Many people say that he is a kind and compassionate Duke Cao, and that he has countless lives.
Judging from what Liu Bei learned, this news is not false at all. It cannot be true anymore.
Especially in Xuzhou and many other places, the many people loved Cao Cao even more.
After all, there is a story that is very widely spread in Xuzhou and other places.
That is to say, before Cao Cao, he attacked Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.
It was Tao Qian who did the unjust thing first and wanted to kill Cao Gong's father.
The revenge of killing the father is not shared by the sky!
Under such circumstances, Cao Gong could definitely raise an army.
In places like Xuzhou, they wantonly conquered to avenge their father!
Even if Cao Cao went to Xuzhou and other places to massacre and vent his anger, it would still be justified.
But Cao Gong did not do this.
He only pointed the finger at Tao Qian and his son.
The rest of the people were not implicated in any way.
On the contrary, in Xuzhou and other places, various benevolent policies were implemented to protect the interests of the people of Xuzhou.
Since Duke Cao came to Xuzhou, the lives of the people of Xuzhou have undergone earth-shaking changes.
From here we can see how kind Mr. Cao is...
Liu Bei could clearly feel that Cao Cao's nature was actually cunning and cunning.
It is completely inconsistent with what people outside are preaching.
At least in terms of kindness, he is far behind himself.
But now, he is unknown, but Cao Cao has such a great reputation.
It really makes people feel extremely uncomfortable!
And Liu Bei also knew very well that the most important reason why Cao Cao has the reputation and status he has today is because of Zhang Cheng Zhang's achievements.
It was Zhang Cheng who gave him a series of good ideas that made Cao Cao what he is today.
This made Liu Bei feel a lot of pressure.
Originally, he was not very strong and could only rely on kindness.
But now, there is a Cao Cao who has a reputation for kindness outside, which is even louder than his own.
This made him feel that his future was somewhat bleak and he was under a lot of pressure.
I always felt that Cao Cao had taken away his path.
But no matter how strong his feeling was, there was no way to explain it.
After all, no matter what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, his deeds do not matter his heart.
This Cao Cao did indeed do a lot of things that were beneficial to the people.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said, "I invite you Xuande to come this time mainly because seeing the green plum blossoms on the branches makes people salivate.
So I wanted to ask Xuande to come with me.Wouldn't it be nice to drink some wine with green plums? "
With that said, he took Liu Bei's hand and walked towards the backyard.
Soon I walked to a small pavilion and saw a plate of plums already placed.
And there is wine, which is being cooked here.
The two were seated separately, and without Cao Cao having to do anything, Liu Bei took the first step and picked up the jug to sift the wine.
Then he poured a glass for Cao Cao first. After pouring wine for Cao Cao, Liu Bei poured wine for himself.
The two of them picked up the wine glasses, said a few words, and drank them all in one gulp.
Both of these two people are very good at talking.
Especially when it comes to external interactions, one becomes more mature than the other.
So when the two of them drink together and drink with green plums, they won't be silent and they will be very lively.
And he also talked a lot about what happened recently.
Including welcoming the emperor and moving the capital.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said, "What Duke Cao did is really admirable.
The emperor Li Jue and Guo Si suffered many humiliations at the hands of these two thieves.
Fortunately, Duke Cao was able to go to meet the emperor regardless of the dangers.
This finally enabled the emperor to turn the crisis around.
If it were not for Cao Gong, it would be really difficult for the emperor to escape from the sea of suffering this time.
Mr. Cao is truly a great man and a loyal man! "
Speaking of this, Liu Bei was extremely envious.
According to Liu Bei's eyes, how could he not see it.
Under the current circumstances, how convenient would it be to welcome the emperor into your hands?
He is now trapped on Cao Cao's side. He doesn't have much strength and can only look at him with greed.
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and then said modestly: "No, no, I just did something that a minister should do!
It's not a big deal and doesn't deserve such praise. "
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.
You are smiling so happily that your little tongue is twitching.
Are you calling it a trivial matter?
Bah, you are so shameless!
The two of them are here, drinking and talking.
I quickly drank most of the pot of wine, and when I was halfway through the wine, suddenly the clouds were turning dark and a shower was approaching.
The people serving on the side pointed to the horizon and said there was a dragon hanging.
After hearing what this man said, Cao Cao and Liu Bei stopped drinking.
He got up hurriedly and came to the railing to watch this wonderful scene.
I saw a tail hanging down from the clouds on the horizon in the distance.
It shakes from time to time and looks very strange.
Many people around were shocked and said it was the dragon being punished.
After watching for a while, Cao Cao suddenly looked at Liu Bei and said, "Does Xuande know about the changes in the dragon?"
Liu Bei said: "I would like to hear the details."
Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big or small, it can ascend or hide.
Big ones exude clouds and fog, while small ones hide their shapes.
Ascension means soaring among the universe, while hidden means lurking in the waves.
Today's spring is deep, the dragon rides on time and changes, and people are still determined to travel across the four seas.
As a thing, the dragon is comparable to the heroes of the world.
Xuande has been around for a long time and must know the heroes of the world. Please try to point them out. "
Liu Bei heard this and said humbly: "Are you prepared to recognize heroes with your naked eyes?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Xuan De should not be too humble, just speak."
Who is Liu Bei? How can he say anything about such taboo matters?
At that moment, he shook his head again and said: "With the blessing of Duke Cao, I can live a stable life. There are really unknown heroes in the world!"
Cao Cao said: "I don't know his face, but I also hear his name. Xuande cannot refuse."
Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to talk about the heroes of the world...
(End of this chapter)
After Cao Cao arrived in Juancheng, he quickly asked people to pick green plums, prepare wine, and invite Liu Bei to drink.
This is not without reason. The biggest reason is that the emperor is now welcomed into his hands.
Liu Bei also claimed that he was a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Although Cao Cao, who was familiar with history, knew what Liu Bei's so-called Han clan relatives were like after Prince Jing of Zhongshan.

I just want to come back, meet Liu Bei, and see how Liu Bei is doing.
Cao Cao's move this time was obviously to invite Liu Bei to come here for a drink.
But actually, I wanted to see Liu Bei's reaction.
Cao Cao sat on the stone bench in the pavilion in the backyard, looking at the plate of green plums, the pot of wine and the two wine cups on the stone table in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
His expression changed, and for a moment it was difficult to guess what he was thinking and what kind of response he would have...
At this time, Liu Bei was still in his backyard, weeding and planting vegetables, fertilizing and watering the vegetables he planted.
After Liu Bei's careful care, the vegetables grown in his back garden grew very strongly.
It seems that it can be said to be fruitful and prosperous.
"Mr. Xuande, my lord has invited me."

What's even more terrible is that the second and third brothers are no longer around.
Cao Cao really wanted to attack, but he really didn't have the ability to resist at all.
Liu Bei turned his head, smiled and saluted the people who came, and then said: "Gong Cao came back from Xu County? When did this happen?"
While saying this, Liu Bei glanced outside.
Take all the scenes outside into your eyes.
At this time, there were 30 soldiers and horses following this person.
These people are all Cao Cao's personal soldiers.
Each one has distinctive armor and belongs to the elite.
The person is not good!
This idea suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's mind.
"I don't know, Mr. Cao, why did you call me to come?"
Liu Bei laughed along with him and asked the people coming from Cao Cao's side with a smile.
The people on Cao Cao's side shook their heads and said, "We don't know either.
He only said that he would invite Mr. Xuande to go. "
After Liu Bei heard what this man said, he was even more excited in his heart.
It feels like things are really going wrong.
"Let's go, Mr. Xuande, my master is waiting.
Don't make my lord wait too long. "
The people on Cao Cao's side urged him.Liu Bei naturally didn't want to go.
But at this time, there was no good solution.
he knows.If he doesn't go, it will definitely make Cao Cao even more suspicious.
Then he said: "Okay, let me wash my hands and tidy up my clothes."
As he spoke, he walked to the tub on the side and scooped out some water to wash his hands.
At the same time, he was also thinking quickly about countermeasures in his heart.
I hope that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can return from hunting soon.
It is best to come back at this time, just in time, so best.
In this way, he has some confidence in his heart, so that he will not be too afraid, and he can also be somewhat relied on.
However, Liu Bei's idea obviously failed.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world?
After he washed his hands and tidied his clothes.
As expected, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not come back.
Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't wait any longer.
I had no choice but to sigh secretly and go to see Cao Cao together with the soldiers who invited Cao Cao.
Along the way, he looked calm.
But in my heart, various thoughts were rolling back and forth, and I felt very uneasy.
After some walking, Liu Bei was taken to Cao Cao's mansion by a group of people from Cao Cao's side.
Then it was introduced into the back garden.
At this time, Cao Cao has been sitting here waiting for some time.
Seeing Liu Bei coming, he looked at Liu Bei and said: "Xuande! You have done great things at home!!"
Cao Cao's voice was loud and his face looked serious.
When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked!
At that moment, he hurriedly saluted Cao Cao and said: "Mr. Cao, the emperor's edict to recognize me as the emperor's uncle is too sudden.
I didn't have any preparation before, and I didn't get any news.
I really didn’t expect that I could be ranked as senior as the Emperor.
In my opinion, this matter should be the petty thinking of Dong Cheng and others.
I tried to pull me down, so that Duke Cao would be suspicious of me and disturb Duke Cao's hearing.
If Cao Gong is offended because of this, he will not be happy.
Then I will meet with the emperor next and explain this matter clearly to him.
Please take a closer look.
Check the family tree to see if it matches up. "
When Liu Bei heard what Cao Cao said, he knew about Cao Cao.This is definitely what I came for.
So he was considered a bachelor, so he directly brought up the matter without waiting for Cao Cao to ask further questions.
Not on this matter, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, this is the strategy Liu Bei had in mind this time.
When Cao Cao heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Xuande, I also know about this matter.
This is indeed a cunning plan by Dong Cheng and others.
Dong Cheng and those people didn't know what had deceived them.
Who do you think I, Cao Mengde, am?
I, Cao Mengde, am that kind of person?
One by one, they miss me so much, which is really inappropriate. "
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly after hearing this, indicating that Cao Cao was right.
"Gong Cao is a great man of great integrity and integrity."
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard what Liu Bei said.
I think Liu Bei is a good person.
At the very least, it sounds nice to talk.
I will not talk to Liu Bei about this matter at the moment.
Looking at Liu Bei, he said: "I just said that Xuande did great things at home, but I did not mean that the emperor issued an edict and recognized Xuande as his uncle.
But Xuande actually learned to grow vegetables.
Taking care of farming is not easy. "
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he shook his head secretly and thought, I believe you.
Did you really call me here because I grow vegetables?
Liu Bei did not relax at all because of Cao Cao's words.
Although he was relaxed on the surface, he was still extremely nervous in his heart.
He was always on guard against Cao Cao and suddenly attacked.
The longer you spend time with Cao Cao, the more you understand about Cao Cao.
Liu Bei felt more and more difficult to deal with Cao Cao.
What's even more terrible is that Cao Cao is such a cunning and suspicious person.
But outside, a very benevolent name has emerged!
It has a very high reputation among many people in Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
Many people say that he is a kind and compassionate Duke Cao, and that he has countless lives.
Judging from what Liu Bei learned, this news is not false at all. It cannot be true anymore.
Especially in Xuzhou and many other places, the many people loved Cao Cao even more.
After all, there is a story that is very widely spread in Xuzhou and other places.
That is to say, before Cao Cao, he attacked Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.
It was Tao Qian who did the unjust thing first and wanted to kill Cao Gong's father.
The revenge of killing the father is not shared by the sky!
Under such circumstances, Cao Gong could definitely raise an army.
In places like Xuzhou, they wantonly conquered to avenge their father!
Even if Cao Cao went to Xuzhou and other places to massacre and vent his anger, it would still be justified.
But Cao Gong did not do this.
He only pointed the finger at Tao Qian and his son.
The rest of the people were not implicated in any way.
On the contrary, in Xuzhou and other places, various benevolent policies were implemented to protect the interests of the people of Xuzhou.
Since Duke Cao came to Xuzhou, the lives of the people of Xuzhou have undergone earth-shaking changes.
From here we can see how kind Mr. Cao is...
Liu Bei could clearly feel that Cao Cao's nature was actually cunning and cunning.
It is completely inconsistent with what people outside are preaching.
At least in terms of kindness, he is far behind himself.
But now, he is unknown, but Cao Cao has such a great reputation.
It really makes people feel extremely uncomfortable!
And Liu Bei also knew very well that the most important reason why Cao Cao has the reputation and status he has today is because of Zhang Cheng Zhang's achievements.
It was Zhang Cheng who gave him a series of good ideas that made Cao Cao what he is today.
This made Liu Bei feel a lot of pressure.
Originally, he was not very strong and could only rely on kindness.
But now, there is a Cao Cao who has a reputation for kindness outside, which is even louder than his own.
This made him feel that his future was somewhat bleak and he was under a lot of pressure.
I always felt that Cao Cao had taken away his path.
But no matter how strong his feeling was, there was no way to explain it.
After all, no matter what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, his deeds do not matter his heart.
This Cao Cao did indeed do a lot of things that were beneficial to the people.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said, "I invite you Xuande to come this time mainly because seeing the green plum blossoms on the branches makes people salivate.
So I wanted to ask Xuande to come with me.Wouldn't it be nice to drink some wine with green plums? "
With that said, he took Liu Bei's hand and walked towards the backyard.
Soon I walked to a small pavilion and saw a plate of plums already placed.
And there is wine, which is being cooked here.
The two were seated separately, and without Cao Cao having to do anything, Liu Bei took the first step and picked up the jug to sift the wine.
Then he poured a glass for Cao Cao first. After pouring wine for Cao Cao, Liu Bei poured wine for himself.
The two of them picked up the wine glasses, said a few words, and drank them all in one gulp.
Both of these two people are very good at talking.
Especially when it comes to external interactions, one becomes more mature than the other.
So when the two of them drink together and drink with green plums, they won't be silent and they will be very lively.
And he also talked a lot about what happened recently.
Including welcoming the emperor and moving the capital.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said, "What Duke Cao did is really admirable.
The emperor Li Jue and Guo Si suffered many humiliations at the hands of these two thieves.
Fortunately, Duke Cao was able to go to meet the emperor regardless of the dangers.
This finally enabled the emperor to turn the crisis around.
If it were not for Cao Gong, it would be really difficult for the emperor to escape from the sea of suffering this time.
Mr. Cao is truly a great man and a loyal man! "
Speaking of this, Liu Bei was extremely envious.
According to Liu Bei's eyes, how could he not see it.
Under the current circumstances, how convenient would it be to welcome the emperor into your hands?
He is now trapped on Cao Cao's side. He doesn't have much strength and can only look at him with greed.
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and then said modestly: "No, no, I just did something that a minister should do!
It's not a big deal and doesn't deserve such praise. "
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly.
You are smiling so happily that your little tongue is twitching.
Are you calling it a trivial matter?
Bah, you are so shameless!
The two of them are here, drinking and talking.
I quickly drank most of the pot of wine, and when I was halfway through the wine, suddenly the clouds were turning dark and a shower was approaching.
The people serving on the side pointed to the horizon and said there was a dragon hanging.
After hearing what this man said, Cao Cao and Liu Bei stopped drinking.
He got up hurriedly and came to the railing to watch this wonderful scene.
I saw a tail hanging down from the clouds on the horizon in the distance.
It shakes from time to time and looks very strange.
Many people around were shocked and said it was the dragon being punished.
After watching for a while, Cao Cao suddenly looked at Liu Bei and said, "Does Xuande know about the changes in the dragon?"
Liu Bei said: "I would like to hear the details."
Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big or small, it can ascend or hide.
Big ones exude clouds and fog, while small ones hide their shapes.
Ascension means soaring among the universe, while hidden means lurking in the waves.
Today's spring is deep, the dragon rides on time and changes, and people are still determined to travel across the four seas.
As a thing, the dragon is comparable to the heroes of the world.
Xuande has been around for a long time and must know the heroes of the world. Please try to point them out. "
Liu Bei heard this and said humbly: "Are you prepared to recognize heroes with your naked eyes?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Xuan De should not be too humble, just speak."
Who is Liu Bei? How can he say anything about such taboo matters?
At that moment, he shook his head again and said: "With the blessing of Duke Cao, I can live a stable life. There are really unknown heroes in the world!"
Cao Cao said: "I don't know his face, but I also hear his name. Xuande cannot refuse."
Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to talk about the heroes of the world...
