The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Liu Bei doesn't know much about Diao Chan's personality, but Liu Bei is quite clear about her deeds and experiences.

Diao Chan, Wang Yun's adopted daughter, was ordered by Wang Yun to be with Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu at the same time, so as to drive a wedge between the two, and finally succeeded in instigating Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo.After Dong Zhuo's death, Diao Chan naturally became Lv Bu's concubine.

Lu Bu died in battle, and Diaochan, like other Lu Bu family members, was sent to Xuchang.

But now, Liu Bei was not shocked when he heard that Chen Gong actually asked him to beg Diao Chan from Cao Cao?

"My lord and Cao thief are incompatible. Sooner or later, I will fight each other to the death. But as far as the present is concerned, the lord is weak and Cao thief is strong. It is unwise to fight against Cao thief at this time. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, the lord is now only I can bear it." Liu Bei's astonishment was within Chen Gong's expectation, and he explained to him in detail, "However, my lord was recently regarded by His Majesty as the emperor's uncle, and recently he has gone very far with Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other important officials of the Han Dynasty. It must have made Thief Cao unhappy. And Xu Tian's hunt was originally a way for Cao Cao to test his ministers. The purpose was to see who was on his side and who was on His Majesty's side. This side."

"My lord's heart belongs to the Han family, and Cao Cao has known this for a long time. Therefore, it doesn't matter to the lord whether he tries it or not. However, the Cao thief behaved very arrogantly in Xu Tian, ​​and even the emperor didn't pay attention to it. so that the two generals Guan and Zhang almost made unwise actions. Although the two generals finally had no choice but to give up, it has already made Cao thief even more dissatisfied with the lord. I guess Cao thief was mainly on guard against the lord , but after Xu Tian's incident, I'm afraid the lord will be eliminated soon."

"Although there are still many courtiers loyal to Emperor Han today, using the master's open sword is the most effective way to scare chickens and monkeys. Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others are today's sons and fathers-in-law, even if they are Cao thieves. Before the reason, the two of them will not be moved lightly. Kong Rong and Yang Biao are too famous, and the impact of killing them is too great, which is not good for Cao thief. And the rest, such as Zhongji and others, do not have enough official positions, even if they are killed. It won't have much of a deterrent effect. And the lord has the position of General Zuo and the respect of the emperor's uncle, but he has no real power. Although the lord is famous, his reputation is not big enough to make Cao Cao worry. Thief Cao If you want to deal with the lord, although you may encounter some troubles on the surface, if you really do it, there is no difficulty at all. And if you really eradicate the lord, it will be a major event that shocked the government and the public, enough to play a role The role of deterrent ministers."

When Liu Bei heard this, his back was soaked in cold sweat.He originally thought that after he was recognized as the emperor's uncle by the Emperor Han, his status would rise, and Cao Cao would not dare to do anything to him.But after Chen Gong's analysis at this time, he realized that the gap between himself and Cao Cao was still so far away.And according to Chen Gong's opinion, killing himself seems to be the best choice for Cao Cao to frighten the courtiers.

In the final analysis, there is still a gap in strength. As long as you have soldiers and territory, you will have the capital to compete with Cao Cao.

"If the lord wants to make a difference, he must be able to endure temporary humiliation at this time. Only by temporarily expressing goodwill to Cao thief and letting him accept the lord can he plan for the future." Chen Gong continued to speak to Liu Bei, " But Cao Cao is suspicious. His impression of the lord has already been formed, and he will not change it easily. If the lord shows courtesy for no reason, it will only further strengthen his vigilance towards the lord. If Cao thief wants to let go of his guard against the lord, he can only do something extraordinary That’s the only way to be successful.”

"The lord made a request to Cao Cao, hoping to accept Diao Chan as a concubine. There are two advantages to doing so. First, after Cao Cao rewards Diao Chan to the lord, Cao Cao will not be too suspicious when the lord goes to offer his favor to Cao Cao. From Cao thief's point of view, it is normal for him to be kind to the lord first, and the lord is grateful and intends to repay him. Second, even though Cao Cao still has doubts, he will no longer attach as much importance to the lord as before. Diao Chan is Lv Bu's widow, the lord seeks to accept her. It can be said that she has lost her reputation because of her beauty. If the general situation has been established like Cao thief, it would be no problem to accept Diaochan. Begging to marry Diaochan is not something that a big schemer does. In this way, Cao thief will mistake the lord for a person who has no ambitions and loves beauty, and the lord's status in the eyes of Cao thief will also decline accordingly Quite a few. As long as Cao thief no longer pays special attention to the lord, and the lord keeps a low profile for the next few days, then there will be no danger of life. First relax Cao thief's vigilance, and then look for opportunities, and big things can be expected."

Chen Gongxu talked for a long time, but Liu Bei already understood his intentions clearly.

Chen Gongtai is indeed a resourceful man.At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel very lucky that he could get Chen Gong.If only relying on Jian Yong and the others, they would definitely not be able to make such a thoughtful plan for themselves.

"But sir, I just said that people like Cao thief will not have so much trouble if they want to marry Diaochan. Cao thief is an impatient person. Maybe he has been coveting Diaochan for a long time. What if he If you refuse to promise Diao Chan to elder brother, then what should we do!" Just as Liu Bei was feeling lucky for getting Chen Gong, Zhang Fei's loud voice suddenly rang out.

"...As long as the lord asks Thief Cao, he will definitely agree." Facing Zhang Fei's question, Chen Gong did not say why, but just replied, "Although Cao Cao is hateful, he is not Dong Zhuo... ..."

"Sir just said, relax the vigilance of Cao thief first, and then wait for the opportunity to pursue a great cause... But can this opportunity really wait? As time goes by, I am afraid that Cao thief's strength will only become stronger." This time it was Guan Yu who raised the question in his heart.

"The time is in the north... There is Yuan Shao's big change in the north. He will not sit back and watch Cao Cao become stronger and stronger. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao compete for supremacy, it is our chance to rise up."

"However, elder brother values ​​reputation the most. If there is a chance to gain supremacy in the future, it may be inconvenient if the reputation is damaged..." Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he will not begrudge his pity for the weak.For Diao Chan, a woman who sacrificed herself to get rid of the traitor Dong Zhuo for the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu still felt very sorry for her.Therefore, he still couldn't care less about Chen Gong's suggestion that Liu Bei accept Diao Chan as a concubine.

"Reputation is damaged, but it can be cultivated. Life is gone, but everything is over." No matter how smart Chen Gong is, it is impossible to guess other people's thoughts. At this time, he only said that Guan Yu was worried about Liu Bei's reputation, so he continued to explain patiently, " Furthermore, the lord's begging for Diao Chan's favor is nothing more than a lustful stigma. In the future, if he occupies the prefectures and counties, as long as he is diligent in government, loves the people, and spreads benevolence and righteousness, these stains will soon be forgotten by others. hang your teeth."

"What Gongtai said is true. I will look for opportunities and propose to Cao Cao to accept Diao Chan." Liu Bei is a decisive person, and after a little consideration, he made a decision.Although Guan Yu sympathized with Diao Chan, he always followed Liu Bei's lead. Seeing that his elder brother's decision had been made, he stopped talking.
