In the farm outside Jinling City, three men dressed as farmers are busy in the fields. With the scorching sun shining, the three faces under the straw hat were already covered with sweat.

After being busy for a long time, Chen Qun, who was covered in sweat, straightened up, looked at the growing sun, and said to the short figure not far away: "Lord, it's noon, take a rest." ”

Cao Cao, who was buried in the ridges of the fields, raised his head, his already dark face became darker and brighter after this period of tempering, squinted slightly at the scorching sun in the sky, and said softly: "Okay." ”

On the other side, Liu Bei, whose work efficiency was significantly higher than that of the children of the two family officials, also stopped what he was doing when he heard this.

The three of them dragged farm tools, chatted and walked leisurely to a big willow tree not far away, sat directly on the ground without any image, leaned on the willow tree with nearly three people hugging each other, squinted their eyes slightly, and exhaled comfortably. It was almost the happiest time of their day.

Gently knocked the hoe in his hand on the ground twice, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, would have one day as a farmer." ”

"yes." Liu Bei picked up a few straws and knitted straw sandals: "I didn't expect that one day I would return to my old business and be with the farmland." It's really a blessing to you, Brother Meng De, and Yuan Benchu. ”

"It's really a pleasure to be able to work here with Brother Xuande. It's a pity that Sima Yi's kid was cheapened and was let go by Yuan Highway a few days ago. Cao Cao said with a slight displeasure.

"Brother Meng De, don't worry, that kid can't be cheap." Liu Bei said lightly while skillfully weaving straw sandals.

"Oh? Where did Xuande come from this? Cao Cao's eyes flashed slightly.

"Isn't this clear? Yuan Highway spent so much effort and thought, it was not that he just wanted to make things difficult for Sima Yi. According to his character, he loves talent in his heart and intends to take it for his own use. So, Sima Yi, this kid, will suffer hard in the future, and he can't be cheaper. Liu Bei said absentmindedly, his hands were still busy.

There are still ten pairs of straw sandals left, and we can add dinner tonight. This time, these two foodies must not be allowed to come back to eat.

"Why is that?" His eyes flashed strangely from the cursive writing in Liu Bei's hand, and Cao Cao pretended not to understand.

"I said, Brother Meng De, can your suspicious personality be more restrained? You and I are so familiar with each other, do you still need to act like this? Liu Bei's hands paused slightly, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Sima Yi's character and morality have been seen in these days, and I think Brother Meng De, you, the former lord of him, are even more clear in his heart." This is not a good stubble, greedy and gloomy temperament, like a cold-blooded poisonous snake. Yuan Highway wanted to subdue him, how could it be so easy to change his character. ”

"Yuan Highway is not you and me, people are rich and rich, and there are many strategists under his command. Although Sima Yi is not a genius, he is not so much that he is regarded as a treasure. On the contrary, this guy has such a great talent, but his temperament is so vicious and vicious, it is very easy to invite death. If Yuan Highway felt that he couldn't cure him, he would definitely kill him directly. And if you want to change this mound tiger, how can it be so simple. Sima Yi, this kid will definitely have hardships in the future. Liu Bei said indifferently.

He has always been eager to seek talents, but he is extremely uninterested in Sima Yi, because he knows that he can't stop this mound tiger, and it will be useless to force it. Moreover, he felt disgust and disgust for Sima Yi from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed that the two had conflicting temperaments.

"Then do you think Yuan Highway can submit Sima Yi?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yes." Liu Bei said without hesitation: "Now the general trend is Yuan Highway, according to Sima Yi's character, he can only and will only choose Yuan Highway." However, Yuan Highway is very strong, and if he wants to be recognized by Yuan Highway, he must change himself. With his greedy and selfish, gloomy and death-fearing character, he will definitely choose to be obedient and take the initiative to accept Yuan Shu's changes. ”

"Can a villain like Sima Yi really be used?" Cao Cao seemed to ask Liu Bei, and seemed to mutter.

"For you and me, I'm afraid it's hard to use. This son's ambition is very great, and if he doesn't get it, it will become a great disaster in the future, and he must not use it unless he is forced to do so. But for Yuan Highway, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, Yuan Highway's own ability should also be counted in your heart, and Sima Yi, this kid, will definitely not be able to jump in front of him. Besides, the young generation of Da Chu is full of heroes, and it is impossible to give Sima Yi a chance. This son is pretending, and he will pretend to be a loyal minister for a lifetime. Liu Bei said flatly.

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Liu Bei with complicated eyes: "Xuande, it seems that when it comes to the ability to recognize people, you are indeed stronger than Cao." ”

"Brother Meng De has a good reputation, and his family has been poor since he was a child, so he has to observe words and colors when weaving mats and selling shoes, so he has a slightly more thorough view of people's hearts and human nature. Brother Meng De's eloquence and talent are very strategic, and Beicai is deeply admired. Liu Bei smiled slightly.

"Since Xuande you have such eyesight, we might as well talk about the battle between Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway." Cao Cao suddenly said.

Although they were "imprisoned" here, Yuan Shu was only to "temper" them, and did not prohibit the inflow of any news. They had already heard about the upcoming battle of the giant deer.

"It's okay to talk about it. However, it is not as proficient as Brother Meng De, who is generally proficient in military strategy, and is only familiar with some skills of knowing people, but he is not very proficient in military affairs, and he still needs more guidance from Brother Meng De. Liu Bei's movements in his hands never stopped, and he said lightly.

Seeing Liu Bei's attitude of chatting with the mountains as if he was a real crop, Cao Cao only felt that the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. But fortunately, he has been used to this for so long, and even he is a little addicted to the role of a farmer.

Shaking his head slightly, focusing all his thoughts on the battle of Eryuan, Cao Cao suddenly couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I'm ashamed to say it." Cao Yu was a close friend with Benchu and the highway when he was a child, but now he was the first to be kicked out of the game at the end of the Han Dynasty, which is really ashamed. ”

"Brother Meng De doesn't have to be so arrogant. Your ambition, courage and talent are not inferior to Er Yuan, but there are too many differences in background, and you can't return to the sky. If you are placed under the same conditions, it is not yet known which is stronger or weaker between you and Eryuan. Liu Bei said. The busy hands couldn't help but clench between the words, and there were faint green tendons.

Although this was to comfort Cao Cao, he did have the same thoughts in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that his background was too low, he would be left far behind by Er Yuan as soon as he came up, and he would have been given a certain opportunity, and he really couldn't say who the world belonged to. But it's a pity that the destiny is like this, and the luck is not good, and he can only be unwilling in his heart.

"Since Xuande said this, I'm afraid he is also unwilling." Cao Cao, who had already seen the fire, said suddenly.

"It's come to this, what can you do if you're unwilling? Succeed in the king, we are now losers. It's better to bark here than to wait for him to prove his strength every day. Liu Bei said indifferently.

"Definitely. Now that there is a chance to make a comeback, why should you and I fight with Yuan Shu when there is no chance of winning. That's why you and I both left our cards unopened. can be Yuan Benchu's character, in the next battle of the giant deer, he may never have any hands, and he will definitely play his hole cards for the vendetta with Yuan Shu. It's a pity that you and I are trapped here and can't see it, otherwise I would really like to see the last great battle on this Han land in person. Cao Cao said in a slightly regretful tone.
