Chapter 192: Duke Cao doesn’t see Ding Jianyang, what happened to Dong Zhuo
"Why has Mr. Ming lost weight?"
Lu Bu suddenly said something...
It seemed that he also realized that it was time to punish him next.
People are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat. Life and death really depend on Cao Cao's thoughts.
Lu Bu was quite sensible, and with the phrase "Ming Gong", he directly put his posture very low.
Huo...Cao Cao was startled, thinking that this was...a familiar thing to do.
There is a saying that the pancakes are poisoned, so don’t do this to me. If you have anything to say, please say it. Besides, Cao Cao has no intention of making things easier for Lu Bu.
"Lu Bu? You call me this, are we familiar with each other?" Cao Cao asked casually.
I never thought that when Cao Cao asked casually, Lu Bu answered extremely seriously. "Ming Gong, have you forgotten that we met once in Wenjiayuan's house in Luoyang?"
Having said that...hey, Cao Cao really recalled it, they actually met once.
"Haha..." Cao Cao had some impression. "Yes, you and I were under the hands of Dong Zhuo's traitor earlier. I didn't kill him under the pretense of sacrificing a sword. Instead, you took care of me and the big man!"
At this point, Cao Cao simply started joking. "You said I lost weight, isn't that right? I think about you every day and want to see you, my old friend, as soon as possible!"
Seeing Cao Cao joking, Lu Bu was in a good mood, and Lu Bu seemed to have found an opportunity to survive.
"Ming Gong, I heard that Duke Huan of Qi in the past did not care about Guan Zhong's revenge for shooting his Yi Dai Gou, and appointed Guan Zhong as his prime minister. This was how he achieved his hegemony. Now, let me, Lu Bu, do my best to serve Ming Dynasty.
How about openly expanding our territory and establishing hegemony?"
At this point, Lu Bu stood up... and the guards escorting him were also a little relaxed.
"Haha..." Lu Bu shook his hair and laughed loudly. "Should I be the first to congratulate Mr. Ming?"
Um...congratulations?
Cao Cao was stunned. "What a joy!"
"In today's world, the only person you care about, Duke Cao, is me, Lu Bu. Now that I, Lu Bu, have surrendered, from now on, Duke Cao will command the infantry, and I, Lu Bu, will command the cavalry. In this way, who in the world can rival me!"
call out…
Don't tell me, these words really almost made Cao Cao's heart move.
This is a huge temptation. Lu Bu's ability as a cavalry commander is undoubted, and Cao Cao is also an expert at commanding infantry. The combination of the two...isn't it even more powerful than a tiger?
But...
Cao Cao did not dare to forget Yi Xiaotian's words for a moment - Lu Bu can't use it.
How did Ding Yuan die in the past? How did Dong Zhuo die? Thinking about Lu Bu's temperament, he defected to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Liu Bei... Which one didn't turn against him?
What's more, when Liu Bei kindly took him in, he took over Liu Bei's Xuzhou. This is a typical example of repaying kindness with hatred, the farmer and the snake...
No matter how good Lu Bu was, Cao Cao would not dare to use him.
Of course, even if it is not used, it cannot be killed.
Yi Xiaotian has made the relationship here very clear to Cao Cao.
Lu Bu's life is related to the ownership of the fierce generals under his command, and it is also related to the future third battlefield between Cao and Yuan. This is a major event that affects the whole body, and must be taken seriously.
Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, his mind changed rapidly, and he fell into deep thought...
He is carefully sorting out the lines here. How can he best put Brother Yi's plan into practice?
…
Cao Cao was calm and silent, but Lu Bu was eager to survive and impatient...
He felt that Cao Cao's attitude was not clear enough, and he had to find someone to help him!
After looking around, I finally found a savior - Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
Speaking of which, the two of them have been friends for a long time. Although there was a small friction, Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous... How could he refuse to save him even in this situation?
It doesn't matter if you seek medical treatment in a hurry, or you are sure that Liu Bei will help! Lu Bu didn't care about that much anymore, and hurriedly opened his mouth and said:
"Xuande...you are a guest now, and I am a prisoner. I am tied up so tightly? Can't you beg for me and let them loosen my grip?"
Lu Bu didn't say this clearly, but the meaning is very clear. We have carried guns together, and we have gone whoring together... We are brothers who are closer than real brothers. Please help Cao Cao to persuade him!
As soon as he finished speaking...Liu Bei took a step forward.
Cao Cao raised his eyes and saw that Liu Bei had not said a word from beginning to end today, as if he was deliberately avoiding Cao Cao's handling of Lu Bu's generals.
This made Cao Cao a little more relaxed towards him. He felt that Liu Bei was a good person, he understood the rules, understood the general situation, and took the overall situation into consideration.
"What does Xuande want to say?" Cao Cao asked.
But Liu Bei slowly raised his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said low and heavy words one by one. "Cao Gong didn't see Ding Jianyang, what happened to Dong Zhuo?"
Boom...boom!
It's okay for Liu Bei not to speak, but when he speaks, his words are astonishing.
Duke Cao doesn't see Ding Jianyang, what happened to Dong Zhuo...
Liu Bei is reminding Cao Cao, don't forget Ding Yuan and how Dong Zhuo died. If you dare to take Lu Bu in, isn't that just a lie? Kill him, kill him quickly!
Liu Bei's words were not loud, but they were like the roar of five thunders, striking down on the heads of Cao Cao and Lu Bu one after another.
Lu Bu was shocked. After being shocked, he became angry, furious, and roared crazily. "Big-eared thief, you hypocritical villain, have you forgotten the halberd shooting at the gate? Who helped you escape?
What?"
Liu Bei remained silent, just staring at Cao Cao with his eyes open. He was looking forward to Cao Cao's answer!
Speaking of which, Liu Bei had his own plans.
Cao Cao was not Ding Yuan, let alone Dong Zhuo. If Lü Bu surrendered to him, Cao Cao's methods of employing people would not be enough to save Lü Bu.
If this situation really happens, then it is true as Lu Bu said. Lu Bu commands the cavalry and Cao Cao commands the infantry. Who else in the world can rival them?
What's more, if Lu Bu surrenders, wouldn't all of Lu Bu's generals, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba, surrender together?
These generals are divine generals who can rival Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Liu Bei has had too much contact with them. Because of this, Liu Bei cannot let them surrender to Cao Cao!
Liu Bei has always had great ambitions. Even though he is now in a state of decline, he has a far-sighted vision. He even saw the constraints that Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts would bring to him in the future battle between him and Cao Cao on the battlefield...
This is a chess move, a dangerous move to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
He must use Cao Cao's hand to nip this threat in the cradle, even if it is contrary to his benevolence and righteousness.
…
call out…
Cao Cao was also surprised.
He was not surprised that he remembered Dong Zhuo's demise and Ding Yuan's tragic death...
He was surprised by Liu Bei's words...
——Gong Cao didn’t see Ding Jianyang, what happened to Dong Zhuo?
These words seem familiar...
It seems that just a few days ago, in the elegant room of a wine shop, Yi Xiaotian mentioned this...
Brother Yi’s original words are like this——
"Brother Xi, as you said, if you kill Lu Bu, you will lose the hearts of the soldiers, and if you don't kill Lu Bu, you will also lose the hearts of the soldiers."
"So Cao Cao will definitely be in a dilemma. At this time, if there is another hypocritical guy around him to fan the flames and say something like 'Ding Jianyang and Dong Taishi are not aware of the fact of the Ming Dynasty', Cao Cao's brain will twitch and he will really kill Lu Bu.
!”
Yi Xiaotian's words quickly appeared on Cao Cao's forehead!
Although there are slight differences between Liu Bei's words and Yi Xiaotian's words, the general meaning is the same.
So…
Cao Cao's thoughts changed rapidly.
Leaving aside the long-decided strategy for dealing with Lu Bu, what Brother Yi means is not that Liu Bei is a complete and utter hypocritical guy!
So, now that he proposes to kill Lu Bu, isn't his purpose just to make Cao Cao completely lose the hearts of all the soldiers under Lu Bu's command?
A good move is to borrow a knife to kill, but a vicious move is to borrow a knife to kill.
Trust me, what is hidden under his appearance of benevolence and righteousness is an extremely careful and dirty mind!
For a moment, Cao Cao suddenly felt that he could not see through Liu Bei.
