Chapter 1254: Calculation
The book is picked up again.
Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei liked this tea very much, so he said with a smile: "Since you choose to love this tea so much, then I will let someone prepare some for Xuande later." ”
"Smack!" After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and asked with a smile: "What's the use of a certain family even if they like this tea?"
A certain family has now become a prisoner of the order, and I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to drink this tea again. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Cao's words and said, "Unless Brother Meng De plans to release a certain family!" ”
"Ahem......" After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's words, he was a little embarrassed, he planned to subdue Liu Bei but didn't plan to let him go, so he immediately coughed dryly, changed the topic, and said, "I don't know what Xuande's ambitions are?" ”
"Hehe......" Liu Bei had long known that Cao Cao would not let him go, and he was just joking just now, so after hearing Cao Cao change the topic, he didn't pursue it, chuckled, and said: "The ambition of a certain family is to help the Han family to prosper the Han!" ”
"Good ambition!" After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's words, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Xuande's ambition coincides with Lonely!" Lonely also has this ambition! ”
Speaking of this, he changed his words and asked Liu Bei with a smile: "Xuande, you and I have similar interests, why don't you just get an errand under the lonely command?" ”
After Li Zhi on the side of the "......" heard Cao Cao's words, his brows furrowed tightly and he opened his mouth, but in the end he did not persuade.
After all, Cao Cao is now a hegemon, and he can't refute his face in front of the public, so Li Zhi plans to persuade Cao Cao afterwards.
After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, his eyes flashed, and then he asked with a smile: "I don't know what position Meng Degong can give a certain family?" ”
After Li Zhi heard this, his heart was raised, he was afraid that Cao Cao would be excited and give real power, and then he would be in trouble.
"Hahaha......" Liu Bei's question was equivalent to a disguised agreement, so Cao Cao immediately laughed and said: "As long as Xuande is willing to take refuge in Lone, Lone promises to be idle for the position of the Third Prince!" ”
"Huh, ......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although the position of the third prince was very prominent, but he did not have much real power.
Of course, this was in times of war, and in peacetime, the three dukes still held a lot of real power.
"The Three Dukes ......" After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, his brows furrowed slightly, the position of the Third Duke is indeed very prominent, but this is not what he wants!
What he is asking for is a position of real power, even if Cao Cao gives him a county order position, it is stronger than these three dukes!
After thinking of this, Liu Bei waved his hand, pretending to be ashamed and said: "Meng Degong is too elevated to a certain family, a certain family has no talent and no virtue, how can it be worthy of the position of the third prince?"
Besides, a certain family has no merit now, even if it becomes the third duke, I am afraid that the other courtiers of Brother Meng De will not accept it.
It's not as good as this, Meng Degong finds a remote county and lets a certain family be a county guard, if a certain family does well, it is not too late for Meng Degong to promote a certain family. ”
"Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's words, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled lightly and said vaguely: "Anyway, I feel that I have taken refuge in Gu, and there is no need to rush about the official position, wait for Gu to think about it, but ......"
Speaking of this, his body leaned forward, his hands were triangular, his fingertips were propped on his chin, and he asked with a smile: "But does Xuande really plan to take refuge in Lonely?" ”
"Of course it's true!" After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately nodded firmly, and said with sincerity: "The reason why a certain family was against Meng Degong before was because a certain family felt that Meng Degong had the intention of rebellion!"
And now, since a certain family knows that Meng Degong has the same heart as a certain family, why does a certain family still have to go against Meng Degong?
Therefore, please rest assured that a certain family sincerely wants to take refuge in Meng Degong and prosper together! ”
"Hahaha...... Good! Xuande said it so well! After laughing and complimenting, Tao Tao suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Since Xuande is already planning to take refuge in Lone, then ask Xuande to tell Lone all the forces you operate!" ”
After finishing speaking, he stared at Liu Bei with dead eyes, seeing how he answered.
"......" After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, he was immediately stunned, his face full of struggle.
He now has only two choices, one is to tell Cao Cao all his forces, in exchange for Cao Cao's trust, in order to have a future effect.
The second is that he gritted his teeth and refused to let go, but in this way, Cao Cao must not trust him, and he will not be able to borrow Cao Cao's power to develop and grow.
Seeing this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and asked, "What?" Xuande is reluctant to say? ”
"Nope! A certain family was just thinking about how much power they had just now, and it wasn't that they didn't intend to say it. ”
That's right, Liu Bei softened!
He knew that his current situation was very dangerous, and once he didn't explain honestly, then Cao Cao would probably guard against him everywhere, and even let him kill him directly!
And if he confesses honestly, maybe he can win Cao Cao's trust, so as to borrow chickens to lay eggs and make a comeback.
After making up his mind, Liu Bei no longer hesitated, and poured beans from the bamboo tube to tell Cao Cao all his forces.
After Cao Cao listened carefully, he laughed and said: "Xuande Guo is a loyal person, and since he is so lonely, he will no longer embarrass Xuande."
Xuande will go back and rest for a while, and after he is busy with everything in the evening, he will feast Xuande. ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at a servant on the side and said, "You find an upper room for Xuande, don't neglect him!" ”
"No!" After the servant answered, he came to Liu Bei's side, and said, "Xuande Gong, please." ”
"......" Liu Bei always felt that something was wrong, but there were so many things happening today that his mind was buzzing all the time, so he didn't take it too seriously.
Then he saluted Cao Cao, stood up, and followed the servant to the back hall.
"Hahahaha......" After Liu Bei walked away, Li Zhizhen couldn't help but laugh immediately.
"Hehe......" Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled slightly, and then took the tea cup and tasted the tea.
After Li Zhi's laughter was almost over, Cao Cao put down the teacup and asked, "Why is the virtuous brother of Xingzhi laughing?" ”
"Hahaha......" Li Zhi heard this, holding his stomach and laughing, he said: "I am laughing at Liu Bei's stupidity!"
He thought that he could make a comeback from the land of Brother Meng De, but he didn't expect that he was toyed with by Brother Meng De from beginning to end! ”
"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his eyes narrowed and he asked, "Where did you start with this?" ”
"Huh!" Li Zhi finally stopped laughing at this time, glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De, you can deceive Liu Bei, but you can't deceive him."
The reason why Brother Meng De showed the appearance of a corporal Lixian just now was actually deliberately to let Liu Bei see that Brother Meng De was buying people's hearts, right?
And Liu Bei, as a hero, immediately realized that this was a chance to survive after seeing this!
So he took refuge in Brother Meng De with the pretense of pushing the boat!
And it is precisely because of this that when Brother Meng De asked what kind of power he had, he said it so happily.
Because he felt that as long as he said it, he would definitely be able to gain Brother Mengde's trust!
In this way, he will be able to occupy a position of real power under Brother Meng De, so as to make a comeback by borrowing chickens and eggs!
But he didn't expect that all this was just Brother Meng De's ploy! ”
Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at Cao Cao.
To be honest, he didn't expect Cao Cao to come up with such a wonderful plan overnight, and even Liu Bei was kept in the dark.
"A plan for my brother? Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he glanced at him a little strangely and asked, "Can you explain your brother's plan in detail?" ”
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Is Brother Meng De being tested?" ”
"Hmm...... Sort of" Cao Cao nodded vaguely when he heard this.
"Hehe......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he chuckled, arched his hand and said: "In this case, then it will be ugly." ”
Immediately, Li Zhi took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and then began to explain: "In fact, the reason why Brother Meng De deliberately showed the appearance of Corporal Lixian was to make Liu Bei think that he had a chance to make a comeback by taking advantage of Brother Meng De's power!"
In this way, Liu Bei would of course tell Brother Meng De everything he knew, in exchange for Brother Meng De's trust.
But Liu Bei didn't know that all this was Brother Meng De's strategy!
Although we caught Liu Bei, we didn't know about the various forces that Liu Bei had planted under Brother Meng De.
And Liu Bei is also a person with a firm heart, even if we torture him, I'm afraid it won't have too good results, let alone ask where those forces are.
That's why Brother Meng De pretended to appreciate Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could see the hope of a comeback, so he took the initiative to explain this. ”
When he said this, the more Li Zhi spoke, the more excited he became, he slammed the table and said, "The most amazing thing is that Brother Meng De can also use Liu Bei to subdue Zhang Fei!"
Zhang Fei is very stupid and loyal, if there is no Liu Bei, it will be difficult for us to recover him.
But now it is different, in order to get the opportunity to make a comeback, Liu Bei will definitely be obedient to Brother Meng De.
When the time comes, as long as Brother Meng De hints a little, Liu Bei will definitely rush to push Zhang Fei in front of Brother Meng De!
Although Zhang Fei is stupid, he is not a fool, he must be able to see Liu Bei's intentions!
When the time comes, the two brothers will probably turn against each other!
In this way, Brother Meng De will be able to subdue Zhang Fei without much effort! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked up at Cao Cao with blazing eyes, and said with admiration on his face: "Brother Mengde......"
