Head-to-head warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 256 Eternal Enemy (Part [-])
Cao Cao said: "Hehe, in my Cao Cao's eyes, you, Liu Bei, have never been humane, and this time is not bad. Why don't you ask someone to bring wine, and you and I have a drink, and it is not in vain for me to run away." trip."

Liu Bei said: "Alright." Then he turned around and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, send someone to bring down a jug of wine and two cups."

Zhang Fei was blowing to his mouth with the jug at this time, when he heard that Liu Bei asked for wine, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay big brother, hehe."

With Zhang Fei's smile, he was determined to send the rest of his drink down.

After a while, someone came out on horseback. Liu Bei poured a cup for Cao Cao himself, and poured another cup for himself, saying, "Come, drink this cup, and we will be enemies forever from now on!"

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Okay, what an eternal enemy, do it!"

Cao Cao said he was doing it, but he only drank it after watching Liu Bei drink it. Don't I know his thoughts?He is afraid that the wine will be poisoned.

Cao Cao shouted after drinking: "Good wine! Good wine, hehe!" Then he snatched the jug from Liu Bei's hand and said, "Hehe, when we meet again, I will never show mercy to you, so farewell!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao blew a mouthful of wine into the jug, and steered his horse back.

Xu Chu stared at the three of us one by one, stretched his neck, and said, "Hmph!"

A few of us also rode back to the city.

On the way back to the city, Zhao Yun said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Cao Cao doesn't seem to have brought many soldiers here. Why don't we take this opportunity and send troops to kill him, and we will definitely wipe out Cao Cao in one fell swoop."

I also said to Liu Bei: "Zilong's words are right, my lord. I think Cao Cao is not fighting this time, but exploring. His purpose this time is to explore the road and explore the city in preparation for the future attack on Jingzhou. Why don't we take this opportunity?" , give him a head-on blow and let him know how powerful we are."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is extremely treacherous and dangerous. We should not act rashly. After all, there are not many troops now. If something happens in Jingzhou, it may be difficult to deal with it. Besides, today is my son Liu Chan's full moon banquet, so it is not appropriate See blood."

After hearing Liu Bei's analysis, I immediately said, "My lord is wise."

Zhao Yun also said: "My lord's prudence, the general will admire."

After returning to the city, I sent people to inspect the towers strictly. All the officials began to eat wine and meat again. When the dishes were cold, they were reheated. , the plate was empty after a while.

Until the end of the banquet, there was no abnormal situation. It seems that Cao Cao really came here for soy sauce, and he may have ulterior motives, but I can't figure out Cao Cao's thoughts.

After a while, Liu Biao fell ill again. I went there this time too. Liu Biao’s facial features were all shifted. When Cai Mao sent us a letter, it was estimated that Liu Biao had been ill for a month. As soon as Liu Biao saw Liu Bei, he said As for the passing of the position, the position of Jingzhou Shepherd should be passed on to Liu Qi. There were quite a few people present, all civil and military officials were present, and they all heard it clearly.

In front of Liu Biao, Liu Bei swore a poisonous oath, saying that he would definitely help Liu Qi manage Jingzhou well, and if he had two intentions, he would do the same thing.

Liu Biao didn't pass on the position to Liu Cong, and the Cai family gritted their teeth. After Liu Biao said this, he fell asleep again. It seemed that he would not die for a while, and we had to go back to Xinye.

A few days later, Cai Mao wrote to Liu Bei again, saying something about celebrating the bumper harvest and letting Liu Bei take charge of the overall situation. Liu Bei felt that something was wrong, and Cai Mao's eyes looked fierce that day, so Liu Bei was more careful, so he called everyone to come discussion.

Ma Xin arched his hands and said to Liu Bei, "My lord, I can't go this time. Liu Biao's life is not long. Cai Mao must want to get rid of my lord early, otherwise Liu Cong will not succeed."

Zhang Fei said: "Yes! What Ma Zhongchang said this time is right. I think Cai Maonasi must have framed him by design. Brother, you must never go there!"

Ma De spoke at this time, arched his hands, and said: "My lord, the letter said that officials of all sizes from the nine counties of Jingxiang and 42 prefectures and counties will come. If my lord doesn't go, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain?"

Zhang Fei said: "Hmph! If it's hard to explain, it's hard to explain. It's better than death. If you want to go, you can. Transfer all our soldiers from Xinye to protect my elder brother!"

Ma Xin said with a smile: "Yi De, if this is the case, I am afraid that the Lord will not even be able to enter Jingzhou City, but it will make Cai Mao think that the Lord wants to attack Jingzhou."

Zhang Fei shook his face and said, "Hmph! Sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei yelled at Zhang Fei: "Presumptuous! If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't seem to be joking, Zhang Fei retreated to the side in desperation, and stopped talking. I found that Lao Zhang was a little forgetful about eating and not hitting, and said whatever words he caught, regardless of right or wrong, good or bad.

Zhang Fei retreated, and Liu Bei stared at him for a long time before asking Ma Xin, "Zhong Chang, what's your plan?"

Ma Xin arched his hands and said: "My lord, I think this is the case. Since it is necessary to go, let Zilong go with General Tunyun. It is not appropriate to bring too many soldiers, so let's take five hundred guards."

Liu Bei sighed, "That's the only way to go."

Zhang Fei seemed a little unhappy, and said directly: "Brother, I'm going too, if Cai Mao dares to move, I'll pick him!"

Liu Bei stared at him and said, "You stay in the army."

Zhang Fei said: "This is me..."

As soon as Zhang Fei opened his mouth, Liu Bei shouted, "This is a military order!"

This sentence blocked back all Zhang Fei wanted to say.

The next day, we set off.

Arriving in Jingzhou that night, Cai Mao arranged us in the post house. He greeted us personally, and he was very polite when he met us. He was respectful to Liu Bei, with a loyal and honest appearance. Who doesn't know that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing?He does have a talent for acting, it's really a shame that he doesn't make movies.

Zhao Yun and I took turns standing guard outside Liu Bei's gate. We discussed on the way that we should not leave Liu Bei's side, and we must absolutely guarantee Liu Bei's safety.

Finally it was dawn, and nothing happened. Around noon, Cai Mao sent someone to spread the word, saying that the officials from all prefectures and counties had arrived, and we were waiting for Liu Bei to take charge. went.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, the guards were stopped by Cai Hao, none of them were allowed to enter, and they could only protect outside. Liu Bei also agreed, and there was nothing he could do if he didn’t agree. All the guards were outside, and Cai Mao’s were also outside, of course. , We don’t know if it’s hidden inside, after all, this is a place arranged by Cai Mao, but even without guards, Zhao Yun and I can protect Liu Bei’s safety.

When I arrived at the scene, I didn't think there was anything unusual. The officials who came were similar to those who came to hold the full moon banquet for Adou last time, and there were not many unfamiliar faces.

As soon as Liu Bei arrived, the audience was full of excitement. Everyone raised their glasses to welcome Liu Bei. Some of them who could slap their beards went to the front to toast Liu Bei and reported their names so that Liu Bei would remember him. Maybe there would be some benefits in the future. , Liu Bei will think of them first.
