Chapter Seventy-Six: Cao Cao's Regret
In fact, Cao Cao had an impulse.
Whether it was the feeling of being an enemy for life, or whether Liu Bei seemed to have snatched him from Chen Chen, he had a sense of pulling out his sword and cutting the gentle and smiling man in front of him under the horse.
However, after seriously considering comparing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's figures, he felt that he should not be able to make such an unwise move.
So he resisted the fluctuations in his heart and continued to chat with Liu Bei.
He knew that Liu Bei had already been appointed as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang and the Taishou of Taiyuan, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang would eat Lu more than 2,000 stones, and Taiyuan Taishou would eat Lu 2,000 stones, so Liu Bei was also a 2,000 stone official.
Although Cao Cao is now also a cavalry lieutenant with a price of 2,000 stones, in fact, in terms of rank, Cao Cao can be called Liu Bei's general.
But how could Cao Cao be willing to admit that Liu Bei was faintly superior? What's more, the two people are not the same place at all, so Cao Cao called Liu Bei by Liu Taiyuan, not General Liu.
Liu Bei has traveled the world since he was a child, and naturally he also knows how to observe words and feelings.
He listened to what Cao Cao meant just now, knowing what Cao Cao's intentions were.
Plant a seed of suspicion about Chen Chen in your heart, and then take advantage of the fact that you are going to Taiyuan, and Chen Chen has not left Luoyang, and you want to win Chen Chen back?
It is different from Cao Cao's uncertain perception.
Liu Bei, who had already exchanged some thoughts with Chen Chen, had completely recognized Chen Chen's talent, and he felt that the plans that Chen Chen revealed to himself now were just part of the layout of the world in Chen Chen's heart.
Although he can now defend one side, he has achieved Liu Bei's original wish.
But when they privately analyze the general trend of the world, who can not make some plans for the future?
Sitting back and waiting to be killed is not a matter of loyalty and patriotism, only by standing up and being virtuous in the world can you repay the Han family.
In the previous life, Liu Bei followed Cao Pi to abolish Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and immediately became the emperor.
Some people will think that this is his hypocrisy and showing his true colors, in fact, if Liu Bei is not the emperor, does he really have to admit that he is a head lower than Cao Pi, a junior?
Could it be that Liu Bei really obeyed Cao Wei's control?
Nonsense!
The descendants of their Liu family, as long as they are relatives of the Han family, when the world is turbulent and there is no one to help, they should show the world in person!
Isn't Liu Hong, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, a relative of the Han family who was picked out from the scattered side branches?
During Liu Bei's time in Luoyang, Chen Chen has been quietly influencing Liu Bei with his thoughts.
Of course, he didn't say it explicitly, Chen Chen was just using stories from various suitable scriptures and classics to fully supplement his arguments.
Let the right and wrong of this kind of thinking slowly affect Liu Bei's thoughts.
He didn't want Liu Bei to be burdened by fame.
There's nothing wrong with having a good reputation, after all, you need to attract talent, but you can't be constrained for fear of affecting your reputation.
"Senior brother and Liu Taiyuan turned out to be friends?"
Cao Cao pretended not to know, and asked Chen Chen in a somewhat surprised tone, he just didn't want to sit down on the fact that Chen Chen had followed Liu Bei anyway.
After all, in his ad hoc analysis.
Chen Chen seems to have come to bid farewell to Liu Bei, and since Liu Bei did not take Chen Chen with him, it may explain the problem.
Maybe Chen Chen didn't completely take refuge in Liu Bei, he Cao Mengde, there is still a chance!
At this time, although Cao Cao could not fully confirm Chen Chen's strength, he clearly sensed it.
Chen Chen couldn't slip out of his hands, after all, he hadn't given Chen Chen a chance to perform.
Secondly, he couldn't let Chen Chen fall into the hands of someone who might be his lifelong enemy.
He Cao Cao tied talented people to his chariot, and would rather they be unwilling to serve him, but he Cao Cao would never do such a stupid thing as a capital enemy!
Liu Bei did not rush to respond to Cao Cao, but looked at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen understood what Liu Bei meant.
Do you want to tell Cao Cao this information about following him?
Chen Chen felt a warm heart.
Sure enough, Liu Bei's personality charm is not only his speech ability, but also his care and care for the people around him from the details.
Staying by the side of this kind of lord, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is.
can feel the warmth and harmony of the spring breeze in Liu Bei's body.
If you can work in such an environment where you can always get along with each other on a daily basis, how can you be troubled that you don't have the opportunity to fulfill your ambitions?
Chen Chen nodded to Liu Bei very seriously, but he was not ready to let Liu Bei help him to relieve the embarrassment, he decided to explain it to Cao Cao himself.
In fact, there is no need to explain.
But Cao Cao is also his senior brother after all, and he is also a friend of the cheap father, and Cao Cao once helped escort him to Yingchuan, perhaps many people in the army recognize themselves as Cao Cao's advisers.
"Chen Chen congratulates Cao Gong's class on returning to the dynasty, and I believe that the results of this battle will definitely make Cao Gong go further."
Chen Chen did not answer directly, but congratulated Cao Cao first.
Although Cao Cao is not a person who likes to be flattered, hearing this kind of words, the originally tense smile was slightly relieved.
"Chen Chen is also here to thank Cao Gong for his escort."
Chen Chen made a big salute to Cao Cao.
"If there is a chance in the future, Chen Chen will definitely repay him with a generous gift."
This made Cao Cao have some illusions slightly.
Chen Chen is expressing his position in front of Liu Bei, is his relationship with himself good enough?
So, maybe you still have a chance?
But before Cao Cao could think about it carefully, Chen Chen's next sentence made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Chen Chen was fortunate to meet the escort of Xuande Gong on the way back to Beijing, and they talked very happily, and they were appreciated by Xuande Gong, and after Chen Chen's weak crown in the future, he will be in the Xuande Gong shogunate, so this time Xuande Gong went to take office, and Chen Chen sent him off ten miles to repay Xuande Gong's kindness."
Now that you've made your choice, don't think about it and stand up.
Chen Chen's idea is very simple, in fact, there is also a kind of juvenile spirit at work.
In Cao Ying before, he didn't get along well with everyone, and Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to himself.
But he also needs to inform Cao Cao that he is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness, which also makes Cao Cao have no way to make a fuss about friendship.
Because of Liu Bei's kindness, Chen Chen's attitude was extremely clear.
"Congratulations to Xuande Gong."
didn't say anything clearly, Cao Cao is not a person who can't afford to lose, and his heart is not so big now, he doesn't know the future direction very well, he just thinks that he has missed a talent who can help him.
It's just that the feeling just now is too metaphysical and makes him jealous.
After all, what can it be?
Chen Xian is an official in the DPRK and China, and Liu Bei is also a county guard, so he can only break his teeth and swallow his stomach.
Cao Cao was a little helpless, he was now more and more sure of what he perceived, what he missed, it should be missing Chen Chen, right?
He regretted a little, regretting why he didn't pay a little attention to Chen Chen at the beginning, and also explained to his generals.
Did he Cao Mengde look away?
Cao Cao didn't think so.
The more he thought about it now, the more strange it became, but there was no way to explain it, maybe it was fate at work.
Dispelled the sense of jealousy in his heart, he felt that he should pay more attention to Liu Bei, and he felt that that sense of jealousy was brought by Liu Bei.
But Cao Cao didn't know that this was the second time he hadn't paid enough attention to Chen Chen's importance.
