Chapter 226: There are three heroes in this world, only Liu Shijun, Brother Yi and Cao Er
Xu Ducheng, in a house ten miles north of the city.
"Xuande, I remember you planted plums some time ago!" Cao Cao asked casually...
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded, always lowering his head, as if to show Cao Cao's nobility.
"Mentioning these plums reminds me of a past incident." Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed to this vegetable field. "A few years ago, he sent troops to conquer Zhang Xiu. Halfway through, the sun was scorching and the soldiers were extremely thirsty.
So I came up with a plan..."
Cao Cao raised his tone a little higher. "I pointed forward and shouted, 'There is a plum forest ahead!' When the soldiers heard this, their mouths watered with greed, and all of a sudden, they were no longer thirsty. Hahaha..."
When the story of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst was told, Cao Cao laughed out loud.
Even though he was smiling, he still glanced at Liu Bei from the corner of his eye, trying to observe his expression.
But what disappointed Cao Cao was that Liu Bei's expression did not change at all, as if the story of "looking at the plum trees to quench his thirst" had nothing to do with him planting a plum forest!
This... is such a terrible hidden trick.
The atmosphere in the entire house suddenly became a little awkward.
"Mr. Cao." Liu Bei stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. "Looking at the plum blossoms to quench your thirst, Mr. Cao's wisdom is unparalleled in the world. Even if you come to me, then please Cao Sikong taste the green plum wine I brewed!"
While he was talking, Liu Bei had already placed the green plum wine on the table. There was a fire on the table, and Liu Bei seemed to want to warm up the green plum wine.
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed out loud, "Okay..."
The two of them drank happily. After half the wine, dark clouds rolled in the sky, looking like it was about to rain...
Cao Cao simply used the topic to make use of it.
"Xuande, look at the dark clouds lying in the sky, like a long and continuous dragon, and like a hero in the crowd. In your opinion, who is the hero in the world today?"
Discussing heroes over wine...
Cao Cao directly raised this question, and his mind suddenly changed, Liu Bei, can't you pretend? Aren't you very good at hiding your secrets? When it comes to heroes, let me see if you, a guy with great ambitions, can still be calm and composed.
.
"With my naked eyes, how can I tell who is a hero?" Liu Bei waved his hand hurriedly...
"What are you being modest about?" Cao Cao took Liu Bei's arm and grinned. He looked like he was smiling, but in fact, his smile was hiding a knife. "Even if Xuande has never seen the faces of these heroes, he should have heard of their names, right?"
call…
Liu Bei frowned slightly, feeling a killing intent.
"Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, the legitimate sons of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, are sitting in Huainan. They should be called heroes, right?" Liu Bei asked.
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao replied with a smile. "Yuan Shu has become the soul of the dead under my sword. He is arrogant and arrogant. How can he be called a hero?"
"Then..." Liu Bei continued. "Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu are in the north, with an army of 700,000 under their command. He should be regarded as a hero."
"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed again. "Yuan Shao is so scheming and has as little courage as a sesame seed and a mung bean. He doesn't deserve to be called a hero!"
"What about Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng who control the nine counties of Jingxiang?"
--"Specious!"
"Sun Ce and Sun Bo Fu?"
——"Relying on the foundation laid by your father is not considered self-made, and you are not a hero!"
"Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu of Yizhou?"
——"Just a watchdog."
"Then it's Han Sui, Ma Teng, Zhang Lu..." Liu Bei almost called all the princes in the world by their names.
But it was obvious that Cao Cao didn't buy any of it. He continued to wave his hands. "These are just mediocre people. I have never taken them seriously."
"Then..." Liu Bei was confused, Cao Cao, what do you mean by this? I say one thing, but you don't...
Liu Bei was helpless. He simply spread his hands. "Is this all over with Cao Sikong? I really don't know who is the hero anymore?"
Ha ha ha ha…
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, laughter that shook the rubble rang out one after another.
Cao Cao was laughing, his smile was very sad, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears.
Almost ten breaths of time passed.
Cao Cao just stopped laughing. He raised his hand and looked at the sky. "A hero has a great ambition and a good plan. He can discern the mysteries of the universe and grasp the opportunities of heaven and earth. Those who can do this are the best in the world."
Only three people..."
"Which three people?" Liu Bei asked urgently. He was also curious, who has such great ability and can deserve such high praise from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao seems to be drunk...
He stood up in response. "Except for my brother Yi, the only heroes in the world today are Shijun and Cao Er..."
Boom...boom!
Liu Bei was startled when he blurted out this sentence. He was startled, as if the secrets in his heart were exposed on the spot.
The meaning of Cao Cao's words is very clear. The heroes of the world are Brother Yi, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao...
Of course, Liu Bei was also curious, who was this heroic character that Cao Cao called "Brother Yi"?
But...he can't care about that much now.
Liu Bei began to think too much. What did Cao Cao mean?
Comparing me with him, this, this, this, this is not good. You must know that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for others to snore next to the bed. Doesn't Cao Cao clearly want to kill me?
These days, Liu Bei plows the land, grows plums, and keeps his head down. Isn't it just to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and keep a low profile so that Cao Cao will completely ignore him? Could it be that all these days of hiding are in vain?
When he thought of this, Liu Bei's hands began to shake involuntarily, and the more they shook, the more he accidentally dropped his chopsticks to the ground.
Click... click, a crisp sound sounded.
at the same time.
Cao Cao took a long breath, his smile froze, and his cold eyes stared at the chopsticks at Liu Bei's feet, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually gathering.
Cao Cao was wondering in his heart, little boy, I finally caught you.
Isn't it that you are so panicked because I told you your aspirations, your ambitions, and your disobedience?
Now that your ambition has been exposed, I, Cao Cao, have something to say to the court and the world. I cannot leave you as a threat now. I must eliminate it quickly!
Huh, your ability to hide your mind is amazing, even my Cao Cao's ability to read minds is not limited.
Just when the killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes quickly condensed...
Boom, boom...boom.
A thunder struck.
Speaking of which, the weather has not been very good these past few days. It has been windy and rainy, and thunder is normal.
Liu Bei suddenly found a turning point, and he thought of a way to deal with it. He leaned over to pick up the chopsticks that fell on the ground, and said with a smile of apology.
"The sage said that when thunder and storms hit, people began to change their expressions. It turned out to be true. The thunder just now really shocked me."
Liu Bei, on the other hand, completely covered up his gaffes and ambitions by taking advantage of the thunder and lightning of chance.
Well…
Hearing this, Cao Cao paused. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There were dark clouds and heavy rain.
However, in this case, the murderous look in his eyes gradually dissipated.
God is not kind. If Liu Bei is forced to be killed at this time, I am afraid that because of the weather, the ministers will excuse Liu Bei.
It seems that Liu Bei's ambition has to be looked for again.
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed out loud... "I didn't expect Xuande to be afraid of thunder. Haha, you are a hero. I'm afraid you will make people laugh."
"How can I be worthy of being a hero? As for my fear of thunder, don't spread the word about Cao Sikong. I can't afford to lose my face." Liu Bei apologized and drank a bowl of wine as if to calm himself down...
This is the worst wine Liu Bei has ever drunk in his life...
Of course, this has nothing to do with the taste. Liu Bei felt uneasy. He was afraid that if he did something wrong, Cao Cao would find a flaw, and he would be under the protection of others, and there would be dangers everywhere!
After drinking the wine and changing the weather, Cao Cao slowly left with his entourage.
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat. He hid in a corner, his back to everyone, and he gasped continuously.
You have evil intentions.
Liu Bei already felt that his hidden tricks would not last long. Instead of being discovered by Cao Cao and waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative to attack and have a chance of survival!
But... he has a very full ideal and extremely realistic backbone. He only has Guan and Second General Zhang. It is simply a fantasy to kill Cao Cao.
But at this time.
"Uncle Liu Huang..." a voice came out.
Liu Bei looked up and saw that it was the uncle who had come to deliver the vegetables. He squatted down and seemed to be unloading the vegetables at ease, speaking in a low voice.
"Your Majesty has just checked the genealogy. According to the genealogy, Liu Shijun is your Majesty's imperial uncle... Now, your Majesty has secretly gathered some people inside and outside. I hope that Uncle Liu will help the Han Dynasty, escape from Xudu, and take charge of the overall situation!"
Hmm...one inside and one outside?
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes. "What does your majesty mean by outside?"
"Xuzhou..." The uncle who delivered the food lowered his voice. "His Majesty the officials stationed in Xuzhou have secretly recruited them. Uncle Liu only needs to escape from Xuzhou and rush to Xuzhou, raise the flag, and wait for Xudu to change... Send troops to help, big things can happen.
Certainly!"
It turns out...Emperor Liu Xie has already arranged everything.
He first secretly recruited a group of loyal Han officials, and when he left the palace after giving the imperial edict on clothes and belts to the abbot Dong Cheng, he was about to start an uprising in Kyoto and kill the traitor Cao Cao.
And another edict was brought to Liu Bei at this time...
This is an edict instructing Liu Bei to raise a banner and raise righteous troops to attack Cao Cao's traitors.
The first stop, which is the foundation - Xuzhou, has been secretly planned by Emperor Liu Hong, so Liu Bei can only take over.
What a good one, taking advantage of Cao and Yuan's struggle for hegemony, attacking from both inside and outside.
call…
After thinking about this, Liu Bei took a long breath. What he has to do now is to find ways to escape from Xudu.
Well, escape, haha, Liu Bei has never done anything else in his working life, this is what he is best at!
