Cao Cao smiled and shouted, and walked towards Liu Bei, but Liu Bei did not show much intimacy. He bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Greetings to Mr. Situ!" Cao Cao frowned, but still smiled.
, also saluted from a distance and said: "Xuande, we haven't seen you for a long time, why are you so polite?"
"Situ Gong, privately, you and I are good friends, but above the temple, you and I are ministers, and we do not dare to get close to each other because of the courtesy of ministers!" Liu Bei replied, and Cao Cao nodded, but
Ignoring the alienation in Liu Bei's words, he directly pulled him into a conversation. The ministers were standing around them. Cao Cao did not avoid them and said directly: "The canal in Jingzhou is almost completed. Once completed,
The situation in the south is different from the past!"
"I see, when it comes to farming and mulberry farming, the south actually has more development potential!" Cao Cao frowned and started telling. Although Liu Bei was wary of Cao Cao in his heart, after hearing these things, he also
Seriously, after all, this is related to his general strategy of governing the country. The two were chatting, and Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said excitedly: "The one who knows me is Xuande!!"
He hugged Liu Bei hard, and Liu Bei looked at him blankly.
He just said that there is hope for the canal. Others also said the same thing. Why was he so enthusiastic?
Just as Liu Bei was thinking about it, all the ministers saluted behind him. Liu Bei turned his head and saw Taiwei Sun Jian in the distance. Sun Jian stared at him silently without speaking, but Liu Bei still looked at the suspicion in his eyes.
It was so clear that Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what a Cao Mengde, I really thought he just came to me to discuss state affairs! Just as Liu Bei was thinking about it, Cao Cao glanced at Sun Jian in the distance with displeasure.
Then he lowered his head and whispered in Liu Bei's ear: "He is a fool."
Then he left with a big smile.
Liu Bei was still at a loss when Sun Jian slowly walked over.
"Sikong, I just saw you and Situ Gong chatting very happily! Didn't he forget to give you an order before leaving?"
"What could I have misunderstood? Don't be nervous, Sikong. You are in-laws, and there is nothing wrong with getting closer. However, Cao Situ has always been friendly to me. With the look on his face today, it seems that Sikong has talked a lot with him!
"Sun Jian said with a sneer, with some anger in his eyes. Liu Bei said helplessly: "Captain Sun, I definitely didn't tell him that this was just because he wanted to alienate us."
"I see, then I dare to ask Liu Gong, what did he say to Sikong before he left?"
Liu Bei was stunned and looked at Sun Jian in front of him. His lips were trembling, but he didn't know what to say. Sun Jian was staring at him, waiting for his explanation.
"Before he left, he insulted the Taiwei."
"Haha, you are insulting me? That's it. Goodbye!" Sun Jian cupped his hands towards him and immediately walked away.
Watching him leave, Liu Bei shook his head and whispered: "What Mr. Situ said is true."
Sun Jian was cursing Liu Bei in his heart. Cao Cao had just returned to Luoyang yesterday. How could he know that he had formed an alliance with Liu Bei to deal with him? Not many people knew about this matter. Liu Bei must have leaked the secret. I'm afraid he was pretending to make an alliance with Liu Bei.
He made an alliance with himself, used Cao Cao to eradicate himself, and then used it to deal with Cao Cao, and dominated the temple by himself. This guy is really not a human being. Haha, what are you talking about to alienate yourself? Is Mr. Cao the kind of person who knows how to use alienation tactics?
While I was thinking about it, all the ministers came.
Everyone waited in the palace for a while, and then Cao Cao led the ministers into the hall. Liu Bei walked behind Cao Cao. He usually led the ministers into the temple. Today, he was not used to it, but he still lowered his head.
Following Cao Cao, the ministers also felt something different. Sun Jian, who usually chatted and laughed with Liu Bei, for some reason today, ignored Liu Bei at all and just went about his own way.
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him.
If these two people can't work together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with Mr. Situ. It seems that when necessary, I will have to make friends with him.
After entering the main hall, the ministers took their seats. When they saw Cao Cao, the happiest person was probably Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong sat directly next to Situ. He was also a Jiuqing himself, but no one dared to say anything. Cao Cao also said something to Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong showed great intimacy, and Hua Xiong said happily: "Mr. Cao, you are finally back. It's great. These days, without you, all the affairs in the temple have exhausted me!"
"But don't worry, I'm doing a good job. People like Liu Sikong and Sun Taiwei often come to my residence and ask me for some advice. I didn't want to say more at first, but I am a kind-hearted person.
I told Liu Sikong that we must vigorously support Chidao and water transportation. When these two develop, the people will become richer and the national treasury will be enriched. As for Sun Jian, I told him that this expensive
Frost, we must conquer!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Hua is such a talented person, I don't know how he can teach me?"
"Just keep building your canals. Building canals is a good thing!"
"Okay, okay, I will obey!"
Cao Cao smiled. He liked chatting with Hua Xiong the most in the temple. Although this man always boasted, he had a good heart and would never do anything like stabbing someone in the back. Moreover, what he said was also interesting. From Jianning
When I went to Yankang, I could hear different versions of various official histories from his mouth, and he spoke them so vividly that people couldn't believe it. With this talent, it would be a pity not to write history books!
"Hua Gong, I think the position of Taipu is really suitable for you. You should write history books."
"That's right!! It's time to continue writing Han Shu! Why didn't I think of that!" Hua Xiong slapped his knees and said excitedly.
Cao Cao was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
While everyone was chatting, Liu Xi came in and sat on the upper seat. Cao Cao quickly led everyone to get up and bow to him. Liu Xi smiled in return, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Master Situ is finally back!"
"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao stood up and bowed again.
Liu Xi smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later!"
The court meeting had just begun, but the atmosphere fell silent. Before going to court, Sun Jian originally planned to attack Cao Cao's actions in Jingzhou, and he and Liu Bei led the ministers to suppress him, but there was no way
After talking about what happened in the morning, he didn't want to speak anymore. Liu Bei looked at him and sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to stand up and speak, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty! Please cook Sun Wentai!!"
Sun Jian, who was looking down in deep thought, suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening.
Cao Cao pointed at him and said angrily: "As a Taiwei, Sun Jian was extremely cruel. After bullying his heroes, the day before yesterday, I arrived in Luoyang and saw the knights of the Taiwei's Mansion chasing and killing several children. I will take those few
The child was rescued, and those knights were sent to Tingwei for the crime of riding horses in Luoyang. They were full of favor!! Are those people still there??"
Hearing his question, Man Chong stood up suddenly and said seriously: "Sun Jian, the Taiwei, arrived at Tingwei in person, took those people out, and beat the soldiers of Tingwei. I have already reported this to the emperor!"
Sun Jian looked at them, gritting his teeth, his whole body trembling, and then looked at Liu Bei who was standing aside. Liu Bei frowned, stood up quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, I know about this matter. I heard that it is those three."
"Liu Gong, needless to say, wasn't it your son Liu Chan who was hunted that day? Fortunately, I was there, otherwise he would have suffered the murderous hands of the Taiwei!" Cao Cao interrupted him immediately, hurriedly said.
Liu Bei was stunned, what?? Liu Chan?? Liu Bei has been busy with Cao Cao's affairs these days. He really didn't know that his children were involved in this. He just heard that there were three dudes. The emperor seemed to value these children very much. He didn't reveal much information. When he heard that it was his own child, his face turned red and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He looked at Sun Jian beside him and said, "Lieutenant Sun, I don't know."
"You old man!!" Sun Jian's eyes were red. He was convinced that this guy was plotting against him, so he stepped forward to fight him.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei was sitting on his left and right. Zhang Fei stood up and hugged him directly. Sun Jian was unable to move. Sun Jian was also old and was no match for Zhang Fei in terms of strength.
Seeing the commotion in the temple, Liu Xi coughed, looked at the Taiwei, and said: "Mr. Taiwei, sit down, are you going to commit murder in front of me??!"
Sun Jian suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, looked at the emperor, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it was the three of them who beat the minister's child. What's more, they are also the murderers wanted by the county government. I sent people to arrest them. Why? Is there any sin?"
Liu Xi knew the truth. He could only shake his head and said: "The Taiwei cannot be blamed for this."
Cao Cao sneered and said, "Your Majesty may not know that the leader of the three was injured. When I met him, he was extremely frightened."
"What?? He's injured??!" The emperor suddenly jumped up and looked at Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was stunned and felt a chill in his heart. Whose child is this? The emperor reacted like this. Could it be that he is the only child of Yuan Shu? That would be tragic!!
Hua Xiong on the side looked at them with some doubts, pulled Cao Cao's sleeves, and asked in a low voice: "The new three evils of Luoyang have appeared? Who is taking the lead?"
"Yuan Yao."
"Oh um?? Who did you say?!?"
"Yuan" Cao Cao hadn't finished speaking. Hua Xiong was like a lion and had already jumped out. With a roar, he flew up with a kick. Sun Jian didn't react at all. That kick had already hit him. Sun Jian fell backwards on his chest. Hua Xiong sat directly on him and punched his face wildly with both hands. In an instant, Sun Jian received several punches. Sun Jian was furious and held Hua Xiong tightly with both hands. Xiong's fist suddenly turned over and pushed Hua Xiong down.
Hua Xiong couldn't compete with him in terms of strength!
Hua Xiong's eyes were red and he couldn't struggle away. He raised his head and hit Sun Jian in the face with a headbutt. Sun Jian was stunned immediately and blood came out from his whole face. Hua Xiong gritted his teeth and held on tightly. Sun Jian's hands prevented him from breaking away, and his head hit him again. Sun Jian was a little confused. Only then did Hua Xiong press Sun Jian under him again, freed his hands, and continued to greet Sun Jian's face with his fists!
Zhang Fei on the side was confused, Liu Bei reminded him, and he quickly stepped forward, and several people pulled them apart with difficulty.
"I tell you!!! No one in the world can bully him!!!"
"Who dares to bully him again!! I would rather die than bite off a piece of his flesh!!"
"This is what I, Hua Xiong, said!!!"
Among the five or six Su guards, Hua Xiong raised his head and roared angrily.
