Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53

Just as Zhang Lan had just entered Cao Cao's residence, Guo Jia also arrived panting.

Seeing Guo Jia's weak appearance, Zhang Lan couldn't help being startled, and felt a little uneasy, "Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Master" Guo Jia took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and said, "Liu Bei from Pingyuan County has arrived and is already on his way to the palace."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhang Lan's hanging heart was relieved.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cao Cao's voice, "Master, Fengxiao, why are you standing outside, let's go inside."

Zhang Lan turned her head and looked at Cao Cao, her heart aroused, she opened her mouth and said, "Then Liu Bei from the clan of the Han Dynasty is here, so let's join Meng De, let's go to the palace to see together."

"Well, that's fine." Although Cao Cao agreed, he was a little dismissive of the Han family clan Zhang Lan was talking about. In his heart, this kind of person who pretends to be someone else has no ability.

The three came to the palace and saw Liu Bian. At this time, Liu Bian was about to have a good talk with Liu Bei. Before the three of them entered, they heard Liu Bian's excited voice, "Go get the genealogy."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan was a little helpless, and thought in her heart, "Why is everyone in the old Liu family alike, and when they meet their relatives, they have to recognize each other, and they are also drunk."

I want to go back to thinking, but I still have to meet Liu Bian in the past. The three came to Liu Bian to meet the emperor, and Liu Bei also saluted Zhang Lan after the three worshiped.

"The prime minister came just in time. Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han family. I have ordered someone to get the genealogy. After verification, he is the uncle of the emperor. I want to make him a former general. What is the prime minister's opinion?"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and both looked at Zhang Lan. Zhang Lan didn't say anything, but just stretched her hand behind her back and shook it.

The two knew each other and looked at each other again. Cao Cao said, "Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this."

"What's wrong?" Liu Bian asked

"Liu Bei has not made an inch of merit. If he is named a former general, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it."

As soon as Cao Cao said this, a black-faced man behind Liu Bei jumped out, "You let go, my brother has made great achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turbans, but he is only a county lieutenant, why hasn't he accomplished anything?"

"Yide, shut up." Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei's words. Yes, the person who spoke was Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's sworn brother.

"How can you say such foul words in front of the emperor, Your Majesty, my brother is open-minded, but he has no malicious intentions. Please don't blame your Majesty and the adults."

Zhang Fei stepped aside triumphantly and said nothing more.

Liu Bian glanced at Zhang Fei who had been scolded by Liu Bei, but didn't speak, but turned to look at Cao Cao. Seeing that he had never seen him before, he asked Zhang Lan, "Prime Minister, who is this?"

"Oh, he is Cao Cao Cao Mengde, Fufeng prefect"

Liu Bian suddenly said, "Oh, it must be the general who was defeated just now."

Cao Cao's face darkened in an instant, and Zhang Lan thought a little amusedly, "This kid really can't talk."

"Exactly, winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists. Don't worry about Meng De."

Seeing that his lord had stepped down the steps for him, Cao Cao could only smile wryly and shook his head and said, "No."

Zhang Lan's unintentional behavior caused Liu Beigao to take a look at him, "In this situation, I still don't forget to appease my subordinates. It seems that Prime Minister Zhang is not in vain."

At this time, the person who went to get the genealogy has returned, and Liu Bian ordered the person to look through it. After a while, he found the name of Liu Bei's grandfather Liu Xiong, and Liu Bei was a generation older than Liu Bian. Liu Bian was overjoyed, regardless of Zhang Lan and others. According to people's opinions, Liu Bei was directly recognized as the emperor's uncle, and Liu Bei was originally named a former general. Thinking of Cao Cao's words before, Liu Bei was still not given such a big official, but Liu Bei was also named a general of Pingbei.

This time Zhang Lan did not let Cao Cao and Guo Jia object again, but congratulated Liu Bei.

Everyone discussed some topics such as the country and people's livelihood one after another. Liu Bei answered each other fluently, and Liu Bian also raised his own questions from time to time, which surprised Liu Bei and Cao Cao at the same time.

Cao Cao was naturally surprised that Liu Bei, a person who used the banner of others to publicize everywhere, had such insight, and he was very appreciative of the state of being neither humble nor overbearing when answering.

What surprised Liu Bei was not Zhang Lan and his party, but Liu Bian.All along, he thought that Liu Bian was as timid and weak as the rumors said, not a qualified monarch, but after meeting today, Liu Bei greatly lamented that the rumors were not credible.

Because after Zhang Lan's training during this period of time, Liu Bian's body is extremely strong, which is almost the same as that of a martial arts practitioner, but Liu Bian is now considered a martial arts practitioner, and Liu Bian's conversation obviously has his own Liu Bei couldn't help but be surprised by the unique insight, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "As Zhang Lan is the emperor's teacher, could it be that the emperor was taught by him?"Since he has such a talent, he is indeed a man of no vain under his prestige."

After some conversation, Liu Bian ordered Zhang Lan to arrange a residence for Liu Bei, but Zhang Lan could only take orders to do it, and arranged Liu Bei to live with Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao came here as the leader of the army, he received a different attitude. The place where he lived was not a military camp, but a large mansion bought by Zhang Lan for the convenience of arranging his loyal ministers.

Although Liu Bei did not bring many people with him on this trip, there are nearly a hundred people in total, but it is impossible to arrange so many people in a house, not to mention that even if he can live in it, Zhang Lan will not agree, but let Liu Bei, who has a reputation in history, three The brothers and Sun Gan lived in.

Originally, Liu Bei was almost about to accept Xuzhou. When he was recruited by Zhang Lan's imperial decree, the loyal ministers who had not been recruited would naturally not follow. Only Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Sun Qian saw that Liu Bei was very human and recognized him as the master. The news of Liu Bei's entry to Beijing was relatively sudden. The two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang still had to take care of the family property. Even if they sold it for a while, they couldn't do it for a while, so they could only stay in Xuzhou.

After arranging the accommodation, Zhang Lan naturally planned to go back to rest, but Cao Cao couldn't be free. He came, although it wasn't his place, but he was the first mover, and he could be regarded as a half-landlord, so he had to entertain him well. .

Cao Cao directly took out half of the pot of heroic drunks that he had been reluctant to drink, ordered someone to prepare some wine and dishes, and invited Liu Bei to "drink freely".

Liu Bei is not familiar with the place here, and he wanted to find someone to understand the situation, so he was invited to the banquet.

Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero of the generation. After a glass of wine, he eliminated the unhappiness in the palace before, and his heart was very distressed. The hero he had kept for several months was drunk, and most of them were drunk by Zhang Fei. Satisfied, looking at Zhang Fei's bright eyes, Cao Cao said directly that it was gone, and stopped looking at Zhang Fei.

Alcohol is the best thing that can promote a man's relationship. After a banquet, the relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Cao Cao has become closer, but Zhang Fei's scary eyes to Cao Cao made him a little scared, and he was determined to never meet again. Take out the hero in front of Zhang Fei and get drunk.
