Chapter 145 Green Plum Cooking Wine On Heroes

Liu Bei thought for a moment, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Huainan Yuan Shu is well equipped with troops and food, can he be considered a hero?"

Cao Cao looked a little drunk and laughed when he heard this: "There are withered bones in Yuan Shu's tomb. I will capture them sooner or later!"

Cao Cao had the confidence to say this. After all, he had defeated Yuan Shu, who seemed to be very powerful.

The beating made Yuan Shu abandon his helmet and armor, and fled all the way. He was no match at all.

At that time, he had only been in Yanzhou for a short time, and it could be said that it was in chaos.

Under that situation, Yuan Shu could still be beaten like that.

Now he has enough troops and food, he has occupied two states, and the emperor is in his hands.

More importantly, he also has his own good son-in-law, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gaojiu.

Under such circumstances, if I look at Yuan Shu again, I just feel that Yuan Shu is ridiculous.

As long as you want to fight, you can capture it at any time.

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a moment and then looked at Cao Cao and said again: "Hebei Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, has many old officials."

Today, the tiger occupies the land of Jizhou, and there are many capable subordinates. Can they be heroes? "

Cao Cao stood up, held the wine glass, drank half of the glass and said, "Yuan Shao is a tough and timid person, and he is always scheming.

To do big things but cherish one's life, to see small gains and forget one's life is not a hero! "

Liu Bei couldn't help being surprised after hearing what Cao Cao said.

He really didn't expect that Cao Cao would evaluate Yuan Shao like this.

After all, Yuan Shao at this time was the most powerful prince in the world.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's reputation was very great and he was known as a model in the world.

There are also many disciples of the Yuan family working for him, and now he is very popular.

As a result, Cao Cao looked down on Yuan Shao.

While I was shocked in my heart, I was also shocked by Cao Cao's ambition.

Cao Cao has great ambitions!

At the same time, the discord between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was also seen from Cao Cao's words.

Although nominally at this time, Cao Cao was still led by Yuan Shao.

Two people are an ally.

But judging from the current situation, there are also many conflicts between the two, and they are bound by various things.

I'm afraid that as time goes by, there will inevitably be a battle between the two.

Liu Bei held back the shock in his heart and spoke again: "There is a man named Bajun, who is powerful in all nine states.

Can Jingzhou Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng be heroes? "

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Liu Biao is in vain and is not a hero.

At most, this person can only stay in Jingzhou to temporarily hold on to his foundation, that's all. "

Liu Bei said again: "There is a man who is full of vigor and vitality. With his young body, he can overpower Jiangdong and achieve many achievements.

Is Sun Bofu, the leader of Jiangdong, a hero? "

Cao Cao said: "Sun Ce is named after his father, so he is not a hero."

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said, "Is Liu Jiyu from Yizhou a hero?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Although Liu Zhang is a member of the Han clan, he is only a guard dog, so why is he a hero?
This person may never leave Yizhou in his lifetime. "

After hearing Cao Cao, he denied everyone who said it.

Liu Bei didn't know what to say for a moment.

He paused for a moment, looked at Cao Cao and said, "What about Zhang Lu, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others?"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this.

"What's the point of such a mediocre villain?"

Liu Bei said: "Other than this, I don't know the truth."

After saying this, suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and a person jumped out.

Then he looked at Cao Cao and said, "There is a man who is from a humble background, but has outstanding martial arts skills and is full of wisdom and scheming.

Moreover, with more upright strategies and fewer troops, Yanzhou can be defended and Lu Bu defeated!
Living thousands of miles away, with only a few words, Cao Gong safely captured Xuzhou and gained a reputation for kindness.

Later, on the day of the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, he took only a small number of soldiers and horses and entered the east of the river.

Killing the Xiongnu chanyu, defeating the Baibo bandits, and capturing over 10 people and returning to Chenliu, can these people be heroes? "

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and his laughter was very hearty.

He said: "Xuande's words really touched my heart.

My son-in-law is a man of great talent, literary and military skills, rare in the world, and possesses courage that ordinary people cannot match.

There is also wisdom and wisdom that ordinary people cannot match.

Of course you can call him a hero! "

Mentioning Zhang Cheng, Cao Cao felt particularly happy and extremely satisfied with Zhang Cheng.

"But a hero like him is different from the hero I have in mind."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei was a little surprised. He didn't know that Zhang Chengdu had done so many things. Why did Cao Cao say that a hero like Zhang Cheng was different from the hero in his mind?

Cao Cao held the railing with one hand and looked at the dragon's tail swinging back and forth in the dark cloudy sky in the distance: "A hero has great ambitions in his chest, a good plan in his belly, the opportunity to hide the universe, and the aspirations of the world!"
Gao is a person with good plans and great ambitions.

However, he has no ambition to conquer the world.

That's why I say he's not a real hero. "

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei was a little curious.

I wonder if the people Cao Cao said so much are not heroes.

So who is his so-called real hero?

Then he looked at Cao Cao and said, "Then who can be the one?"

Cao Cao turned around, pointed at Liu Bei, and then pointed at himself.

"The only heroes in the world today are Xuande and Cao'er!"

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard what Cao Cao said.

The chopsticks he held in his hands didn't even seem to fall to the ground.

It was about to rain heavily and there was thunder.

Liu Bei calmly picked up his chopsticks and said, "How powerful is this?"

Cao Cao saw this and said: "A man is also afraid of thunder?"

Liu Bei said: "The saint is bound to change with thunder and wind, how can he not be afraid?"

This shows that Liu Bei's adaptability is still very strong.

With the help of thunder, the reason why he listened to Cao Cao's words and caused his chopsticks to be frightened to the ground was covered up in an understatement.

Cao Cao had some words with Liu Bei here again, and did not conduct any more tests.

The two of them stood here, leaning on the railing to watch the rain, and drinking from time to time. It can be said that they were very comfortable.

This kind of rain comes and goes quickly.

Not long ago, there was thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.

But after a burst of rain, the dark clouds in the sky will soon disperse.

The heavy rain also turned into a light drizzle.

At this moment, there was a commotion, and Cao Cao's guards rushed to stop it.

But I saw two people, rushing all the way into the backyard, carrying swords, and running all the way to the pavilion.

Cao Cao's guards rushed to stop him, but they couldn't.

Cao Cao turned around to see Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

It turned out that these two people stopped hunting immediately because the weather was bad and heavy rain was coming, and they quickly returned to Juancheng with people from outside.

As a result, when I came back, I didn't see my eldest brother.

I was told that someone from Cao Cao's side had invited Liu Bei over.

The two people immediately panicked and hurried to Cao Cao to inquire.

I heard that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were drinking in the backyard, and I was just worried that Liu Bei would make a mistake and Cao Cao would do something bad.

So he didn't have time to think too much, so he just barged in with his sword.

As a result, two people broke in all the way.

But I saw Liu Bei and Cao Cao drinking while leaning on the railing.

Their brother was not bothered by Cao Cao.

And it seems that the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

This situation immediately made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a little confused.

It's okay if you co-operate with your brother!
Cao Cao looked at the two of them and asked, "Why did you come here and do such a thing?"

Zhang Fei's mind was spinning slowly, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Just when he seemed a little embarrassed, he heard Guan Yu's voice.

Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao and said, "I heard that Lord Cao was drinking with my brother, so I came here to dance with my sword to make him laugh."

When Cao Cao heard this, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "This is not the Hongmen Banquet. Why don't we use Xiang Zhuang Bo Xiang?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he also laughed along with him.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had sarcastic expressions on their faces and laughed along with them.

Cao Cao said: "Bring some wine and calm down with the two Fan Kuais!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone took the wine and poured it for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thanked him, took up the wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Originally, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already finished their meal, but seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushing behind them, there was no need to continue.

Soon, the banquet was over, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei said goodbye to Cao Cao and left on their own.

Cao Cao stood in this small pavilion and watched Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others leave.

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes seemed darker.

For a moment, it was hard to understand what he was thinking...

……

"Brother almost killed both of me in shock!"

The three people left from Cao Cao's side and walked on the way back.

Seeing that there was no one around, Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Bei and said this.

He still looked a little frightened.

Zhang Fei was no better.

The two of them were really frightened when they learned what had happened before.

I'm really afraid that my brother will be brought to Cao Cao's side when the two of them are not around, and then he will do something that will make him regret for the rest of his life.

Liu Bei comforted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said a few words.

Afterwards, he told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei about dropping his chopsticks and other matters.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked what this meant.

Liu Bei said: "You two know why I learned to grow vegetables.

I just want Cao Cao to know that I have no ambitions and don't have many ideas.

But who could have imagined that Cao Cao would suddenly point at me and say, "I am the hero of the world."

Because of this, I couldn't help but drop my chopsticks.

He was also worried that Cao Cao would be suspicious, so he tried to cover it up by being frightened by thunder. "

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei's explanation, they couldn't help but said: "Brother is really smart!"

"Brother, you have to react quickly. It's absolutely impossible for me and the other two to deal with this kind of thing. You can handle it so well."

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled bitterly.

“I hope we can do many things well this time.

I can continue to hide it so that Cao Cao doesn't know my ambition.

I really don't want to make Cao Cao afraid. "

After saying this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

Now the emperor and many ministers have come to Cao Cao.

It seems that many people don't want to live peacefully.

The idea has been struck on his head.

This is the best testimony to the fact that he became the emperor's uncle out of nowhere.

I'm afraid that next time, the trees will still be quiet but the wind won't stop!
There are many things that often make people feel particularly uncomfortable.

When people live in this world, many times they cannot help themselves.There are many things that don't mean you don't have to do them if you don't want to do them.

With this in mind, Liu Bei returned to his home with many worries on his mind.

Next, while planting vegetables, I quickly thought about how to deal with it.

……

Time passed quickly, and then Cao Cao issued an order.

He began to transport many things from Juancheng to Xu County in an orderly manner.

Start to shift your focus from here to there...

……

"I've been waiting for this and have sent Cao Cao with the emperor's edict.

Let the emperor recognize Liu Bei as Uncle Liu.

At this moment, Cao Cao felt uncomfortable.

This is an aboveboard conspiracy.

Neither Liu Bei nor Cao Cao could find anything wrong with them.

Even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, under such circumstances, you can only hold it in. "

Dong Cheng and others, who had already established themselves in Xu County, gathered together again.

Dong Cheng looked at the people around him and said this with a smile, with a proud look on his face.

When the others heard Dong Cheng's words, they all expressed their admiration.

It means that Dong Cheng’s work is indeed beautiful.

"Cao Mengde is just a eunuch after all.

It was only through a moment of luck that he was able to ride on the wind, seize power, and possess such strength.

However, when it comes to his power and tactics, and the battles in the court, this person should not be too far behind, he is far inferior to me.

He wanted to control the emperor, wanted to do many things, and had wishful thinking.

Let's see how we take away all his rights step by step! "

Saying this, the mood of several people became more and more cheerful.

Someone looked at Dong Cheng and said: "I have already attacked Liu Bei before, which can be said to be a small test.

Next, I don’t know who to turn to? "

Dong Cheng had obviously considered this for a long time, and without much hesitation after hearing this, he looked at a few people and said: "In my opinion, the next step is to attack Zhang Cheng.

We need to win Zhang Cheng over to our side. "

Hearing Dong Cheng's words, some people couldn't help but frown slightly and said: "Zhang Cheng is very highly regarded by Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao was indeed very good to this person.

Now if we want to win him over, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. "

Dong Cheng smiled when he heard this and said, "You are overthinking this.

Now I know a lot about this piece.

I know that this person had a humble background in the past.

This kind of person has no knowledge.

When we have the emperor in our hands, we will naturally possess great righteousness.

Cao Cao was no more than a eunuch, how could he be compared with the emperor?

Cao Cao just gave Zhang Cheng something, we can give him something better.

In fact, there is no need to say what benefits we will give Zhang Cheng.

He just asked the emperor to issue an edict to win over Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng would run over like a puppy. "

After saying that, he added: "I am going to go to Chenliu County to see Zhang Cheng in person.

Look at this man, what kind of person he is?

With his sharp tongue, he could tell him something powerful, move him with emotion, and understand him with reason.

I will definitely be able to convince myself that this piece of paper will work for me!
Make him turn his back on Cao Cao and stand on the side of the emperor! "

Hearing what Dong Cheng said, someone hurriedly said: "Dong Gong, how can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?

Zhang Cheng is just a small person, there is no need for Mr. Dong to take action personally!
Dong Gong personally took action, which was too flattering to him.

I am willing to go in place of Duke Dong to see Zhang Cheng.

I think it is enough for me to go see Zhang Cheng as my subordinate.

It would also make Zhang Cheng feel extremely honored! "

The person who spoke out was named Cai Bin.

In the imperial court, he served as a minister.

Of course, now, he is really worthless as a servant.

Not to mention being a minister, even a higher position, such as a third official, is not that valuable.

After all, when the Han Dynasty had not yet fallen into decline, many official positions had already been ruined by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who sold his officials and nobles.

As a result, the value of many positions has been greatly reduced.

Later, we experienced the Dong Zhuo Rebellion and the more serious Li Jue and Guo Si Rebellion, in which a large number of officials died.

Then, a large number of people were promoted to high-ranking officials at a rocket-like speed.

Li Jue and Guo Si, as well as their subordinates, received many official positions.

Moreover, official positions such as General and Sima were given away as if they were free of charge.

The emperor and everyone were on their way to escape from Guanzhong.

In order to win people's hearts, many official positions are given out for free and are generally given away.

Yang Feng, Zhang Xiu and many other people who guarded the emperor were awarded extremely high officials.

It even happened that there was no time to even make the official seal, and they just had someone carve it hastily and then use it.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how valuable Cai Bin's assistant is.

Not to mention Cai Bin's assistant, even people like Dong Cheng and Yang Biao.

Most of them are in name only, with a vacant title.

They have no rights at all.

Cai Bin's assistant is really not enough now.

But he is still extremely arrogant and impressive.

He was so arrogant that he didn't take Zhang Cheng seriously at all.

In his opinion, this piece of Cheng is just a piece of shit.

Even if you have made some achievements, so what?

Hearing Cai Bin's words, Dong Cheng suddenly woke up.

I think what Cai Bin said makes sense. He is the head of the country and has a distinguished status. So what is Zhang Cheng's status?
Although he has some abilities, he is nothing more than a weakling at best.

No matter how capable you are, you still can't get rid of this identity.

So he felt that what Cai Bin said made sense.

There really was no need for him to take action on this matter.

He looked at Cai Bin and said, "Shilang Cai, fortunately you opened your mouth and woke me up.

Otherwise, things will be really difficult to handle this time.

I want to make a wrong decision. Not only will I lose face, but it will also easily make Zhang Cheng feel how noble I am, which will raise my status and make it difficult to talk.

You are right. In that case, let Mr. Cai take me there for this matter!
In fact, in my opinion, even if Cai Shilang moved forward, his status was too high and he gave Zhang Cheng too much face. "

Dong Cheng took it for granted and said in a condescending tone.

When Cai Bin heard this, he felt happy.

In other words, he has always been firmly by Dong Cheng's side and is happy to be Dong Cheng's dog.

This time, he was able to do this on Dong Cheng's behalf and was evaluated by Dong Cheng in this way, which was an extremely happy thing for him.

This shows that in the eyes of the father of the country, Dong Cheng, he is a useful person.

Moreover, he also agreed very much with what Dong Cheng said just now.

He also felt that relying on his own status to go to see Zhang Cheng and win over Zhang Cheng was a bit too condescending.

However, in order to please Dong Cheng, he had to endure it even if he condescended to him.

"Please rest assured, Zhang Cheng, this time I go there and I will definitely subdue Zhang Cheng.

Let him betray Cao Cao and make him sign a pledge on the spot! "

Yang Biao on the side couldn't help but frowned secretly after seeing this scene.

He couldn't help but said: "This matter must be discussed over a long period of time, and we cannot act so recklessly.

Zhang Cheng is a truly capable person.

Although he is not of high origin, he is still very useful.

And with his position on Cao Cao's side, he can really win him over.

Then in the future, we will definitely get great benefits.

Since this achievement is so important, we should pay attention to it and not be too negligent.

Otherwise, if it has some counter-effect, it will be a little bad. "

After hearing Yang Biao's words, Dong Cheng looked at Yang Biao and said: "That makes sense, but I have made various arrangements here, and I already pay enough attention to him.

If not, there is no need for Cai Shilang to make this trip in person.

He should feel honored that a high-ranking member of the imperial court, such as Minister Cai, could go there in person to see him, a humble prefect of Chenliu County, with a mud-legged background. This was enough to give him face. "

Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Yang Biao couldn't help but stood up and said: "Don't be too arrogant and rude.

Although Zhang Cheng's background is indeed not high, he is really talented.

The world today is no longer the world it was before.

The situation has changed, and people at the bottom have emerged one after another.

There are many talented people, and they are really capable.

Now that changes have taken place, we here can no longer look at people with the old eyes.

Otherwise, problems can easily occur.

Some behaviors need to be changed. "

Hearing Yang Biao's words, Dong Cheng shook his head and said: "This is just what you think, in fact nothing has changed.

This matter is settled.

Listen to me and you won't make any mistakes.

We guarantee that Zhang Cheng will come to us honestly.

For our use, he is willing to act as a cow or a horse for us, and to act as a pawn. "

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, many people immediately echoed his words.

It feels like it should be.

These people must maintain their dignity and cannot lower themselves.

Hearing the words of Dong Cheng and others, and seeing their performance, Yang Biao couldn't help but sigh and said no more.

He shook his head and waved his sleeves away, unwilling to stay with Dong Cheng and others any longer.

He felt that if Dong Cheng and others continued like this, there would be problems sooner or later.

Don't even look at how highly Zhang Cheng is being treated by Cao Cao.

They actually wanted to get Zhang Cheng into their hands like this!
How can it be?

Yang Biao immediately made up his mind to cut off from Dong Cheng in the future.

From today on, he will no longer be in private with Dong Cheng.If there are any entanglements, draw boundaries.

So as not to harm yourself in the future.

Dong Cheng and others couldn't help but show ridicule after seeing Yang Biao leaving.

"This Yang Biao, a member of the Hongnong Yang family, is so bold.

Such disregard for status is really degrading to gentlemen!

It is not an accident that the Hongnong Yang family ended up in this situation!
After listening to Dong Cheng's words, many people followed suit.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed very happy.

Cai Bin was in this very happy atmosphere.

With a few followers, he left Xu County and headed towards Chenliu County to meet Zhang Cheng...
