Liu Bei's envy is real, and so are his worries.
I am envious because it has been ten years since Liu Bei raised his army to demand the Yellow Turbans at the age of twenty-seven.
Liu Bei is also thirty-seven years old this year, reaching middle age.
In this era when one can become a grandfather at the age of thirty and call himself an old man, Liu Bei, who is nearly forty years old, is not even a son, let alone a grandfather.
Not only did he not have a son, he didn't even have any decent achievements.
After defeating the Yellow Turban Army ten years ago, Liu was granted the title of Lieutenant of Anxi County, guarding a county.
After ten years of wandering around, we are still trapped in a city, but we have changed from Anxi County to Xiaopei.
Although they missed a Xuzhou animal husbandry during the period, they failed to hold on to it and were snatched away by Lu Bu.
Later, he was bullied by Lu Bu to the point where he almost couldn't protect Xiao Pei, so he had no choice but to seek refuge with Cao Cao as his backer.
Cao Cao petitioned Liu Bei to be the shepherd of Yuzhou, but it was just a false name. Liu Bei was still stationed in Xiaopei to restrain Lu Bu.
Liu Bei had the false reputation of Yuzhou Shepherd, but he was caught between Cao Cao and Lu Bu as a buffer. He had no room for development, and no hope of achieving great things.
For the ambitious Liu Bei, this was quite frustrating.
For Liu Bei, who had a weak foundation, it would be false to say that he did not envy Cao Cao, who held the emperor in power to command the princes.
And now, Liu Bei has another point of envy towards Cao Cao.
Cao Cao has a son, a good son who is brilliant in strategy and martial arts!
After receiving the news from Xudu and learning about Cao Ang's deeds, Liu Bei was shocked by Cao Ang's talent and deeply envied Cao Cao!
Just like Cao Cao back then could only look up to Yuan Shao with envy, Liu Bei at this time could only look up to Cao Cao with envy...
In addition to envy, Liu Bei also had some hidden worries and sadness in his heart.
He is now controlled by Cao Cao and depends on others.
It is not easy to get rid of Cao Cao, not to mention that Cao Cao has a unicorn named Cao Ang who is very resourceful and can stand alone...
Cao Ang is only twenty-one years old this year, and he already has such talent and reputation just after his debut.
If he had gone through many years of experience and was entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao, would Liu Bei still have a chance to succeed under the shadow of Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son?
I'm afraid it's hard to even breathe!
Therefore, while Liu Bei was worried at the moment, he was also thinking about his next path.
But thinking about it left and right, there is no good solution.
At this time, Liu Bei was even more envious of the well-established princes such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. With a wave of his hand, many aristocratic families and wise men came to join him.
Unlike Liu Bei, who was born in a grassroots family and had a shallow family background, he did not have any decent advisers.
Although he was assisted by civilian officials such as Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong, they could only be called staff.
These three people have knowledge and talent, but they are limited to knowledge of poetry, classics and history. They can assist Liu Bei in governing the people, handling official documents, and collecting and disbursing taxes.
But his intelligence is ordinary, he cannot make suggestions, and he is not considered a counselor.
"Cao Cao was already assisted by Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and other wise and resourceful people. Now his eldest son Cao Ang is even better at strategy, not inferior to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
Heaven, why do you treat Cao Cao so well, but refuse to give me Liu Bei a son and a great plan?"
Thinking about it, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel sad, and burst into tears in front of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu Sun Qian.
This thirty-seven-year-old man was crying so sadly at this moment, with tears pouring down like rain......
People in later generations will say that Liu Bei is hypocritical and loves to cry, and he is the one who cried in the Shu Han Dynasty.
Little did they know that Liu Bei's experience in the first half of his life was really full of hardships, blood and tears.
If it were anyone else who had experienced Liu Bei's setbacks, I am afraid he would have been in despair. If you give up, your heart will feel like death.
You may even think that you can be a county magistrate under a certain prince and marry a few beautiful wives and concubines, and you will be complacent.
But Liu Bei has experienced so many setbacks and has not changed his ambition.
No matter what his position is , at least this perseverance is unparalleled!
In the audience, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others watched their lord and brother burst into tears. Although they are used to it.
But as a minister and a brother, Seeing Liu Bei like this, I can't help but feel a little distressed and even ashamed.……
"Brother, don't be sad, God will never let the loyal and righteous people fall into the dust, it's just that good things take their toll.
Given time, I will definitely give my eldest brother a Qilin son, so that he can achieve great achievements!"
Guan Yu is indeed a man who is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period. His words are loyal and righteous, but he is also quite good at persuading others.
At least Liu Bei felt much better after listening to Guan Yu's consolation and was slightly inspired.
Or maybe he cried to release his pressure. A wonderful move, tears flowed out, and the worries in his heart were cleared away...
And Zhang Fei said in a loud voice:"Brother, don't be deceived by Cao Cao. You can pull a twelve-stone bow and shoot down a divine falcon. Others will believe me." But don't believe it.
That Cao Cao has always been treacherous, this must be Cao Cao's boast.
I'm not bragging, if Cao Ang is in front of me and I can poke twelve holes in him with one spear, let's see if he can still pull the twelve-stone bow!"
Zhang Fei was so impatient that he would say whatever he wanted.
These words immediately made Liu Bei's face darken:"Yide, shut up, what do you know?
Cao Ang's magic shot was witnessed by the emperor's ministers. How could it be false?
I just sigh that Cao Ang is so handsome, but he is Cao Cao's son, not my son.
One must appreciate Cao Ang's abilities.
Guan Yu also said immediately:"Third brother, the eldest brother is right."
When a real man is alive, he should show respect to heroes when he meets them. How can he belittle them unreasonably?
What's more, Cao Ang originally had a low reputation and had been hiding his clumsiness, but because his father was humiliated, he stepped forward to clear his father's name.
This is a loyal minister and a filial son, so you should be respectful!"
Guan Yu's life principle is loyalty. Although he can't understand Cao Cao's behavior, he has no prejudice against Cao Ang and treats the matter as it is.
Zhang Fei snorted:"You are a hero and cherish heroes, but I am a bad person.
Didn’t I also want to make my eldest brother feel at ease?……"
At this time, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others also hurriedly came to the rescue and said:"My lord and the two generals, please calm down. It's because we are ashamed, have limited knowledge and cannot make suggestions for your lord, that makes your lord envious of Cao Cao!"
So Liu Bei quickly waved his hand again! , to appease Sun Qian and Jian Yong.
At this moment, in Xiaopei, although Liu Bei and his men were in dire straits, they still had a sense of warmth that they shared weal and woe, and that masters and ministers enjoyed each other.
But at this moment, the lord and his subordinates of another power were far from having the same tacit understanding as Liu Bei's monarch and his subordinates.
It can even be said that they are talking about the same thing as ducks, but they are in completely opposite directions...
Xuzhou, Xiapi.
Lu Bu, who was stationed here, also received news from Xudu at about the same time as Liu Bei.
Although Xiaopei belongs to Yuzhou, it is adjacent to Xuzhou.
Xiaopei and Xiapi in Xuzhou are only a hundred miles apart, so Lu Bu got the news not much slower than Liu Bei.
What's more, Cao Cao deliberately promoted his great son Cao Ang, secretly adding fuel to the flames and speeding up the spread of the news.……
"Look at the public station, there is news about Xu Du.
Yuan Shao sent Tian Feng to humiliate Cao Cao, but was blocked by Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son.
Haha, now Yuan Shao failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice, and lost to Cao Cao and his son three hundred thousand stones of food and grass.
The fight between the two tigers made me, Lu Bu, watch the excitement.
If these two families fight, wouldn't they both try to win over me?"
Lü Bu held the news in his hand and called out the counselor Chen Gong's name, smiling heartily.
People say that Lu Bu is brave but has no strategy, which is right and wrong.
As for Lu Bu's performance after reading the news from Xu Du, it's not that he doesn't have a strategy, but that he has a strategy. The focus is just wrong...
Chen Gong took the news from Lu Bu and read it hastily, with a look of shock and solemnity on his face:"My lord, you should not be happy at this time, but should be worried."
"Oh, why did the public broadcaster say that?"
Lü Bu didn't understand what Chen Gong meant and said curiously.
Chen Gong handed the news to Lü Bu, pointed to the record about Cao Ang and said:"Please see, my lord, Cao Ang's performance can be said to be extraordinary in strategy, and Excellent martial arts……"
Before Chen Gong could finish his words, Lu Bu interrupted him with a smile:"Haha, Gongtai said so, and it is indeed true.
Cao Ang, this son, can draw a twelve-stone bow and shoot down the eagle of the nine heavens. He is the same as me back then." When shooting a halberd at the gate, one hundred and fifty paces away, the halberd's twig is shot, which is similar in effect.
In this way, this boy has a bit of my style back then.……"
Lu Bu's understanding ability seems to be wrong, and he can always change the topic to some strange things.
For example, at this time, Chen Gong was talking to Lu Bu about Cao Ang's abilities, saying that with this Qilin, Cao Cao would definitely be more difficult to deal with, which would be detrimental to Lu Bu.
However, Lu Bu compared Cao Ang's divine shooting with his own, and by the way, he boasted about his own style...
This made Chen Gong on the side sigh, and suddenly felt helpless.
Some people are indeed invincible and brave, but they use their brains...
Note: Xiaopei has always been under the rule of Pei State of Yuzhou during the Han Dynasty, but it is very close to Xuzhou. If you occupy Xuzhou, you can control Xiaopei. Insert a nail.
Therefore, when talking about the Three Kingdoms, Xiaopei often appears together with Xuzhou Xiapi, but in fact it belonged to two states in the Han Dynasty.
