Although Cao Cao was very disdainful that the young emperor recognized his uncle, but after a little time, Cao Cao felt very uncomfortable.
After all, Cao Cao also thought that if his surname was Liu, wouldn't it be easier to control the country of this big man?
After much thought, Cao Cao still couldn't get over this hurdle.
Late at night, Cao Cao secretly came to the Ma family compound alone and consulted with the Immortal Master Ma Xiaoquan.
After listening to Cao Cao's complaints, Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao in confusion: "Liu Bei is already the emperor's uncle, what do you still want? Could it be that you are saying that he is not the emperor's uncle? Xiao Cao, Liu Bei is Dong Cheng and the others.
I personally investigated it, so I can’t say that the identity is completely true, but it’s still 70% true, right?”
Cao Cao was unwilling to give in: "Isn't Liu Bei's surname Liu? Why does he become the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the queen of Zhongshan Jing?"
Ma Xiaoquan advised: "Xiao Cao, this is what you are wrong about. You can complain, but the fact is already the case. The emperor has admitted it. You can't say that the emperor is wrong, right? Besides, Liu Bei has no soldiers or power.
What can you do? You should focus on Yuan Shao now."
Cao Cao thought to himself: That's right. Although this little emperor has no rights, all the rights belong to me. The demon is right. That guy Yuan Shao is much more powerful than me...
Cao Cao chuckled and said: "Then Master Shangxian, even if you say so, you can't let Liu Bei be so comfortable as the emperor's uncle, right?"
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he felt happy: Damn it, I've been waiting for you to say this. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known how to make wine with green plums...
Ma Xiaoquan pulled Cao Cao over and said in Cao Cao's ear: "You can do this... this way..."
...
At the same time, in another secret pavilion in Xuchang, Dong Cheng and others were surrounding, discussing matters again.
Dong Chengdao: "Everyone, now that Liu Bei has been roped in by us, can our plan continue to be implemented?"
Wu Zilan said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Although Liu Bei has become the emperor's uncle, we still don't know his thoughts. What if, I mean, what if Liu Bei is Cao Cao's spy?"
Wang Zifu nodded and agreed with Wu Zilan.
Dong Cheng waved his hand: "You don't know, I have been secretly sending people to observe Liu Bei these past few days. What do you think the result will be?"
When everyone heard this, they all blinked curiously.
Dong Cheng said proudly: "Liu Bei, although he grows vegetables and makes straw sandals every day, he will sigh as long as no one pays attention to it."
Prince Fu interrupted: "Why is he sighing and lamenting?"
Dong Cheng said: "You don't understand this. If a person succeeds, why should he sigh for no reason? In my opinion, Liu Bei probably wants to slip away from Cao Cao."
Dong Cheng's statement was undoubtedly very bold, but when everyone thought about it carefully, it was reasonable. For a while, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Dong Cheng continued: "How about this, we can continue to get to know Liu Bei from the side. As for the emperor, after Fu, if it's convenient for you, you can go and get in touch with the emperor."
Fu finished and nodded.
The next day, Fu Wan met the young emperor on the pretext of seeing his daughter Fu Shou, the wife of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Empress Fu.
The monarch and his ministers discussed the matter and were worried about the subordinates, so they asked Fu Shou to take charge personally.
After entering the inner room and performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, Fu Wan went straight to the topic and expressed the thoughts of Dong Cheng and others.
The little emperor had already had this intention. When he heard Fu Wan made this suggestion, he almost clapped his hands with joy, but after thinking about it carefully, he quickly shook his head.
Fu Wan asked the young emperor: "Your Majesty, is there any difficulty?"
The little emperor said with a mournful face: "The emperor doesn't know something. Now the whole court is full of traitors. If we make any move, wouldn't we be exposed at will?"
Fu Wan shook his head: "Has the Emperor forgotten Uncle Liu?"
The little emperor's eyes lit up and he stood up: "You mean Liu Bei?"
Fu finished and nodded.
The little emperor clapped his hands and said: "That's great, I will announce that Uncle Liu will..."
Fu Wan quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient. I'm afraid there's something wrong with announcing Uncle Liu so rashly. What if Uncle Liu refuses or doesn't express his position?"
The little emperor thought about it and asked, "What should we do?"
Fu Wan said: "I don't know what to do. It's better to do this. Your Majesty will discuss it with General Dong Cheng tomorrow. General Dong is our backbone."
The little emperor nodded: "That's fine!"
In the morning of the next day, the young emperor scolded Dong Cheng "severely" according to the plan he had discussed with Fu Wan in advance. Before that, Fu Wan had already informed Dong Cheng of his and the young emperor's plans.
Dong Cheng knelt on the ground, "sweating profusely" and said that he was guilty, but he was very happy in his heart.
Finally, the little emperor stood up, flicked his sleeves, gave a loud "hum" and retreated.
Cao Cao on the side also felt strange, so he asked the emperor what was going on at the little yellow gate next to him.
Xiao Huangmen grew up with the emperor, so he was naturally the closest to him. He lied to Cao Cao, saying that Dong Guiren served the emperor very poorly last night. The emperor was very dissatisfied, and he deliberately found trouble for Dong Cheng today.
Wear small shoes.
When Cao Cao heard this, he burst out laughing and didn't take it seriously.
Sure enough, Dong Cheng, who had "made a mistake", personally "greeted" the emperor after he retired from the court and knelt in front of the palace for an entire afternoon before the little emperor "calmed down."
Although Dong Cheng's knees were numb and painful, he became excited at the thought of being able to get rid of Cao Cao.
After meeting the emperor, Empress Fu was still in charge.
After the monarch and his ministers discussed the matter, the young emperor personally pulled out a white scroll, bit his finger, and wrote a secret message on the white scroll to kill Cao Cao.
After handing the blood letter to Dong Cheng, the young emperor said emotionally: "Dong Aiqing, everything depends on you and Uncle Liu."
Dong Cheng kept nodding his head with tears in his eyes, and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, I will definitely kill the traitor Cao for the sake of my country..."
After withdrawing from the little emperor, Dong Cheng was afraid that the blood letter would be exposed, so he put it in his crotch and took it out.
After seeing Liu Bei, Dong Cheng took a long time to take out the blood book from his crotch.
Liu Bei frowned and took the blood book over. He held his breath and read the contents of the blood book.
After reading it, Liu Bei was shocked.
"General Dong, this...is this the emperor's blood, right?"
Dong Cheng blushed and nodded.
Liu Bei made a sound and knelt down on the ground: "Thanks to the Emperor's love, Bei should do his best, even to the death!"
Dong Cheng excitedly helped Liu Bei up and said: "Since Uncle Liu Huang also has this intention, let's make a blood alliance!" As he said that, Dong Cheng bit his own finger and was the first to sign the blood book.
Liu Bei couldn't get off the tiger, so he had to bite his finger and write his name. However, Liu Bei played a trick and his handwriting was crooked. Looking closely, it looked like it had been forged.
Dong Cheng didn't care about this. Seeing Liu Bei write his name, Dong Cheng quickly put away the blood letter and left with a smile.
Afterwards, Dong Cheng encouraged Changshui Captain Zhongji, General Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and others to sign their names together. Looking at the names on the blood book, Dong Cheng finally let go. After all, if he had to bear this matter
, Dong Cheng asked himself that he didn’t have that ability. Of course, his name was the biggest, and when things were done in the future, his contribution would also be the biggest.
"Hehe..." Dong Cheng snorted and smiled proudly.
...
Another late night, Liu Bei secretly found Ma Xiaoquan, the Master of Shangxian, and told Master Shangxian about Dong Cheng's blood letter.
There are some records in history about the killing of Cao Cao with a blood letter, but there is very little pen and ink.
After Ma Xiaoquan listened carefully to Liu Bei's description, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that this happened.
After Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, he said: "Xuande, in that case, I think you should leave this matter alone. Have you done what I told you last time?"
Liu Bei nodded: "Sir, the Immortal has given instructions. Whenever I need to write my name, I write it crookedly, making it look like a fake."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's good. By the way, how are you, Uncle Liu Huang, doing as you wish?"
Liu Bei chuckled and shook his head: "I am not Uncle Liu Huang, but Dong Cheng and the others..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "I said you are, so you are!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately reacted: "Master Shangxian, could it be you..."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "I didn't do anything, I just wrote four words for Dong Cheng."
Liu Bei asked: "What are the four words that I hope Master Shangxian can teach me!"
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, dipped his hand in water and wrote four words on the desk: No, no! After writing, Ma Xiaoquan patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and said: "Xuande, don't worry, for now, you are
Safely, of course, you still have to do it..."
...
Ma Xiaoquan's advice to Liu Bei is actually very simple, that is, from now on, no matter how others incite you, you will fight. If Cao Cao incites you, you must show weakness. You must show weakness.
Liu Bei listened to Master Shangxian's teachings. In the next few days, Liu Bei simply pretended to be ill. Dong Cheng and others came to Liu Bei several times to discuss killing Cao Cao, but they were informed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that his eldest brother was seriously ill.
bed.
Of course Dong Cheng and others didn't believe it. They broke into the house and took a look. Only then did they see Liu Bei, who was tying a cloth belt around his head, wrapped in cotton clothes, and had a big basin soaking at his feet. He was still shaking.
Seeing Dong Cheng and others barging in, Liu Bei just raised his eyes and did not speak.
Dong Cheng and others took a look at it, and it seemed that they couldn't discuss it with Liu Bei recently. Forget it, our brothers will talk first, and when the results come out, we can just let Liu Bei express his position.
After Dong Cheng and others left, Liu Bei quickly recovered from his "sickness".
Liu Bei recruited Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and ordered Zhang Fei to report the situation to Master Shangxian in the evening. Then, he asked Guan Yu to write a letter to Cao Cao, telling Cao Cao that he wanted to do something for the great Han Dynasty.
After receiving Liu Bei's letter, Cao Cao first ordered his subordinates to investigate. After receiving the news that Liu Bei was seriously ill in bed, Cao Cao asked his subordinates: "What do you think?"
Counselor Yi said: "My lord, Liu Bei is a hero in the world, and he is very benevolent. If this kind of person is allowed to develop, the consequences will be disastrous. It is better to take this opportunity now and kill this person!"
Cao Cao looked disdainfully and said, "He Liu Bei is in the palm of my hand. What am I afraid of him doing?"
After Cao Cao said it, he still remembered what Master Shangxian said to him.
Master Shangxian once told Cao Cao: If you don't trust Liu Bei, you can test him.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so he specially selected a day to test Liu Bei.
On this day, the weather was not very good and the wind was strong, so Cao Cao forced Liu Bei to sit under a pavilion and said they wanted to have a drink and talk.
Of course, in order to reflect the atmosphere of heart-to-heart talk over wine, Cao Cao still prepared a plate of green plums, which means: Green plums cook wine and talk sincerely.
After listening to Master Shangxian's words, Liu Bei naturally knew that this was Cao Cao's trap. Therefore, at the beginning, Liu Bei just said some unintentional nonsense. Cao Cao also patiently dealt with Liu Bei for a long time at the beginning. , Cao Cao was a little impatient.
Finally, Cao Cao took the lead and said: "In my opinion, the heroes of the world are none other than Liu Bei and Cao Cao!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he dropped the wine spoon in his hand to the ground.
At this time, thunder exploded from the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain. Liu Bei picked up the wine spoon and laughed at himself: "This sound scares me to death."
When Cao Cao heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "How can a man like you be so frightened by a thunderclap?"
Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his head: "Sages are afraid of thunder and rain. How can I not be afraid?"
Liu Bei's words were very clever, and Cao Cao himself was a master who did not believe in evil. Therefore, after hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao laughed and stood up, leaving Liu Bei alone and left.
After Cao Cao had gone far, Liu Bei stood up and looked towards the city wall.
On the city wall, stood a man with purple hair. The man nodded slightly to Liu Bei and jumped off the city wall.
"Master Shangxian..." Liu Bei was so excited that he was speechless.
That night, Liu Bei shamelessly came to the Ma family compound and asked Ma Xiaoquan for help.
Ma Xiaoquan patiently invited Liu Bei to drink tea, and then told Liu Bei: "Xuande, if you are like this, tell Xiao Cao that you want to attack Yuan Shu, and Xiao Cao will definitely agree."
Liu Bei listened and thanked him one after another.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Bei's request, Cao Cao immediately agreed. However, in order to monitor Liu Bei, Cao Cao only sent Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to accompany him. On the one hand, they were to monitor whether Liu Bei had any objections, and on the other hand, to deal with those who had already That's more than enough for the declining Yuan Shu.
In the fourth year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei led the troops assigned to him by Cao Cao and marched towards the remnants of Yuan Shu's army.
Although Ma Xiaoquan was not sure whether Yuan Shu was holding a solar recorder, he set off with Liu Bei in order to find out.
As for Yuan Shu, after many twists and turns, supplies were extremely scarce, and Yuan Shu, who had no choice but to make a decision, planned to give the imperial title to his brother Yuan Shao, and then defected to Yuan Tan, who was the governor of Qingzhou at the time.
Before that, Yuan Shu took out the solar recorder in his hand to show his sincerity, handed it to the envoy and gave it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shu knew that his brother liked weird and strange things very much. He had been trying hard to play with this thing for a long time but he still couldn't get it right. I think Yuan Shao would like it very much when he saw it. Therefore, Yuan Shu reluctantly gave up the solar energy record.
device.
It's a pity that Ma Xiaoquan missed it again, but he didn't know it.
