Chapter 1253 Two Kings with Different Surnames

Time passed minute by minute, no matter how graceful the singing and dancing in the lobby, and how soft the waists of those singers were, the smiles and smiles could not move the hearts of everyone in the lobby.Although these civil servants and military generals kept silent, they became more and more anxious in their hearts. Some of them wished they could leave the sheriff's mansion and go home. Let everyone present understand that tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival reception, I'm afraid something big will happen!
Many people who are wise and protect their lives really don't want to be involved in this dangerous vortex, but they are already in the lobby. If they run away at this time... then no matter who is the winner tonight, if they find out afterwards, what will happen in their hearts? think?
This kind of thing is actually a huge gamble in front of them, and these people have more or less already placed their bets.And Liu Biao summoned everyone here tonight, in fact, forcing everyone to express their opinions at the last moment!If you don't express your position, then your position is wavering. No matter who is on stage, they will be the first to clean up!

And choose to be alone... Some people are fine, if these people are not important enough, their status is not high enough, and their strength is not strong enough, then naturally they don't need to bet-these roles don't need to be cared by those high-ranking predators.As long as these little fishes are smarter, wait obediently and quietly, and when the winner takes the stage, they will kneel down and cheer obediently.

However, this kind of solitude does not mean that you can choose to sit on the wall to see the scenery and stay away from this whirlpool completely-this is not acceptable. To be a small fish and shrimp, you must have the consciousness of a small fish and shrimp, and you must advance and retreat wisely.

Of course, if the vortex caused by the predators' struggles hits these small fish and shrimps and grinds them to pieces—then don't complain, who makes you have no strength to fight?

Therefore, things are like this, knowing that there is no way to advance or retreat, but still suffering in pain and anxiety, this is the true psychological portrayal of the civil and military guests present.They can only wait helplessly for the verdict of fate, for Liu Biao in the main seat, to end this upsetting song and dance as soon as possible!

Fortunately, no matter how long the song and dance is, there will always be an end.At the end of the song, all the dancers bowed and retreated.Everyone's hearts were stuck in their throats, and they looked up at Liu Biao who was sitting on the main seat, waiting with anticipation and pain for his opening.

"Everyone! Tonight's reception, as I said before, is for the successors of Jingzhou..." Liu Biao lived up to everyone's expectations, opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and said calmly.

However, at this moment, the ceremony officer outside the door announced loudly:
"Big Han King Wei, Cao Cao is here!!"

hum! !

There was an uproar in the lobby! !The sound of many cups falling to the ground and smashing was heard at the same time, and the dark red wine splashed all over the silk official uniform.Even Liu Bei tightened his hand holding the wine glass, and finally, relying on the fortitude honed in the battlefield for many years, he did not crush the wine glass.

However, his eyes still turned to the right involuntarily.Zhuge Liang was also slightly dazed there, but soon he smiled in relief, and made a gesture to Liu Bei to be calm and not to be impatient.Liu Bei thought for a while, then fell silent.

However, when Cao Cao's figure actually appeared at the door, Liu Bei's eyes were still inevitably drawn: Cao Cao was dressed very casually today, not at all the majesty of the king of Wei.But with the rhyme of his every step, it seems to have a special aura, which affects the hearts of everyone present.With that signature lonely and friendly smile on his lips, he looked around at the people in the entire lobby without any trace.It seemed that the complacent arrogance once tempered in the battlefield had completely disappeared, as if a bohemian poet who had seen through the world had come to participate in a poetry meeting.

When his eyes fell on Liu Bei, Cao Cao deliberately paused, smiled gently, and then said to Liu Biao who was sitting on the right seat: "Brother Jing Sheng, Cao is very honored to be invited by you in such a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival. !"

But Liu Biao acted very naturally at the moment, he smiled back and replied: "Wei Wang is so commensurate today, but Biao is disrespectful. A big event is going to happen in Xiangyang tonight, and we have to borrow Wei Wang Huwei to come here to be a witness! , please take your seat!"

Cao Cao was no longer polite, and Shi Shiran sat down.Generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood on the left and right behind them, and the volcanic aura containing violent magma immediately made the atmosphere in the entire lobby a little strange and frightening.

Especially Liu Bei, facing Cao Cao's indifferent expression at this moment, suddenly remembered one thing: Chen Dao had already taken over Xiangyang's city defense tonight, if Cao Cao came tonight, he would meet Chen Dao no matter what.But now he didn't even get half of the news...

There can only be one explanation for such a thing, that is, before Chen Dao took over the city defense, Cao Cao had secretly entered Xiangyang.Even, taking it a step further, Cao Cao and Liu Biao may have met and reached some kind of agreement long ago!

Everyone in the world thought that after Cao Cao leveled Qingzhou and trampled on the prestige of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely covet Jingzhou.But Liu Bei knew in his heart that with the check and balance of the Ma family's clothes and belts, Cao Mengde could no longer get involved in the Jingzhou matter, otherwise the Ma family would be furious, and he would definitely make the clothes and belts known to the public-but Liu Biao Did not know these.This time, no matter Liu Biao took the initiative to contact Cao Cao, or Cao Cao secretly hinted at Liu Biao, but in the end, it was definitely Cao Cao who had obtained the benefits he could get from Liu Biao, so he made a special appearance today, acknowledging the fact that Jingzhou's successor is effective!

Yes, this time Liu Biao did not need to be appointed by the court, but he specially invited Cao Cao to be a notary, which showed that he really took great pains in paving the way for his successors.At the same time, it also shows that this night, Liu Biao handled this matter with the determination to succeed or succeed!
Sure enough, when Liu Bei first thought of this, Cao Cao seemed to have a feeling.He got up and walked towards Liu Bei again. After a few short steps, many civil and military guests from Jingzhou looked at Cao Cao and nodded.Especially Cai Mao, who has a friendship with Cao Cao, who has a relationship with Cao Cao, smiles more eagerly.Kuai Yue on the side also nodded slightly.

The friendship between Cai Mao and Cao Cao is well known in the world.Liu Bei didn't have much thought, but Kuai Yue's subtle reaction made Liu Bei vigilant: Kuai Yue had a good reputation in his early years. General He Jin heard of his name and once named him Dongcao.At that time, Cao Cao was one of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan, the captain of Dianjun, the most happy to make friends with celebrities, and had a very close relationship with Kuaiyue...

Kuai Yue is a man of deep wisdom, and he has made great contributions to Liu Biao twice.If Cao Cao's entry into the court this time was his idea for Liu Biao, then... Thinking of this, Liu Bei was terrified: no matter whether Liu Biao cede the Jingzhou seat to Liu Qi or Liu Cong tonight, it is impossible to cede it to Liu Bei!Because Liu Biao just made it very clear that he invited Cao Cao to sit in charge.And the object of deterrence is none other than him, Liu Bei!
The most effective way to establish a person's prestige is naturally to make contributions.Liu Bei came to Jingzhou to suppress the rebellion this time, and he already had great prestige in Xiangyang.If Liu Biao really gave up Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he would never call Cao Cao, a hero whose prestige is ten times that of Liu Bei's.Only when Liu Biao wanted to suppress the hearts of the people of Xiangyang and the gentry of Jingzhou, would he borrow the title of "King of Wei" Cao Cao!

After all, everyone knows that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are enemies of life and death!
Liu Biao did not make Liu Bei the lord of Jingzhou tonight, but if anyone objected, he would have a high-sounding reason to tell: If Liu Bei is made the lord of Jingzhou, Wei Wang Cao Cao will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious!
At this time, Cao Cao had already walked up to Liu Bei, looked at Liu Bei with almost compassionate eyes, and was silent.Liu Bei, who was restless, was stared at by Cao Cao, and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body.Although Cao Cao's eyes are more of a kind of gentleness, without any staring or sharpness, but Liu Bei has a feeling that people can see through.

Being watched silently by Cao Cao, Liu Bei was about to break out in a cold sweat when he thought of the armed forces of the Central Plains represented behind Cao Cao and his treacherous tactics on the battlefield.

Finally, as if it had been a long time, or just a moment, Cao Cao pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Liu Bei, and said, "Mr. Xuande, I am afraid that this painstaking effort will come to nothing again. Qianlong is trapped in the abyss, and it is the most difficult thing for Cao." I can't bear to watch, but once the dragon is released, the world will be in chaos..."

Liu Bei's face immediately became very ugly, and he was a little reluctant to answer!
But at this moment, a slightly childish voice came from Liu Bei's right side, saying: "Wei Wang, Qianlong Tengyuan, I have to take advantage of the situation. Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival night, it is inevitable that it will not be the time when the dragon flies to the nine heavens." ..."

"Huh?..." Cao Cao didn't mean to be angry when Zhuge Liang cut off his words, but instead asked with some interest, "What do you mean by that, little friend?"

"Ahem...he means," a strange but familiar voice came from outside the door, and the brocade robe was more glorious in the night, but the owner of the brocade robe rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "What does he mean?" Yes, you are not the only king with a different surname in the big man, you can suppress his power, but I, King Yong, also have power for him to borrow!"

"Yong Wang Ma Chao?!" Cao Cao didn't change much, and Liu Biao's face suddenly turned red like blood: "How did you enter Xiangyang?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Xiangyang City has already started civil turmoil, so I naturally walked in while taking advantage of the chaos..."
