Chapter 848: Old Grievances
"Hole cards? Yuan Benchu is an immortal hero, will he really expose his hole cards for this battle that has little chance of winning? Liu Bei raised his head, frowned slightly, and said in confusion.
"Xuande, although you see that people are accurate, you don't know the source bond between the two Yuans." Cao Cao's eyes were empty, and he recalled the time when he was young and frivolous in his career.
"I have been friends with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu since childhood." Cao Cao said: "is not shy about it. At that time, Yuan Shu, as the concubine of the Yuan family, was the top Ya Nei in Luoyang City, in contrast, Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family, and stood out among the Ya people, but he had not yet shown his ability, and there was still a lot of difference between his status and Yuan Shu's status, and my Cao Cao was even more insignificant. To put it mildly, I was Yuan Shao's follower at that time, and even at the beginning of the chaos in the world, I still wanted to consider myself Yuan Shao's subordinate. ”
"We and other children of noble families, when they were young, they had a gentle temperament, advocating the way of rangers, and they did a lot of ridiculous things in Luoyang City." The corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked slightly: "Don't look at Cao's background is not as good as Benchu and Highway, but when it comes to ghost ideas, Cao has more than both of them." Every time, Cao came up with an idea, pulling Ben Chu and the highway to make trouble, and when he was finally punished, Cao was able to escape, and the most responsible was Yuan Highway, who is now the most beautiful. ”
"I've heard a little about this, I'm afraid that's how the name of Yuan Road's gentleman and the ghost in the road came about." Liu Bei chuckled. Who would have thought that the current Emperor of Chu was a troublemaker.
"Yes, there is a lot of credit for this." Cao Cao smiled.
"In fact, in terms of its ability, the original highway was not too weak than me and Benchu. However, he has two fatal flaws, righteousness and arrogance. As long as we involve them in everything, once they are exposed, they will stand up and take responsibility. Speaking of this, Cao Cao smiled evilly: "Ben Chu and I are not as righteous as him, and every time we put all the fault on his head." So we get away with it almost every time, and it's all the bad luck of the road kid. ”
"You guys are so cheating Yuan Highway, he is not angry? If he confesses to you in a fit of rage, you will probably be unlucky. Liu Bei was surprised. Yuan Shu is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, even if he makes a big mistake, it doesn't matter, it's just a reprimand. And Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's identities at that time were not so noble, if they were confessed to their crimes, coupled with the crime of slandering and blaming the Yuan family's son-in-law, I am afraid that they would have to suffer a lot.
"You don't know how arrogant Yuan Highway was at the beginning. He never bothered to explain this kind of guilt, and even someone helped him explain that he choked back, not saying that he did it himself. Cao Cao chuckled and said, "When the world was in turmoil, I really didn't regard him as a great enemy. Because although he has a general strategy, he is not very eloquent, and the most important thing is that he is too righteous and arrogant, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
"Yes, such a person can be a good friend, but not a hero." Liu Bei nodded. Although he flaunts benevolence and does many benevolent things, he is not truly benevolent. Most of the princes in this world are like this, most of those who are known for their faith are false faith, and most of those who are known for their benevolence and filial piety are false benevolence and filial piety. An iron estimate like Yuan Shu is only one Gongsun Zhan, and this kind of person is the easiest to deal with, and the conspiracy and trickery are accurate.
"But since the alliance in front of the Tiger Prison, oh no, it should be said that since Luoyang has been farewell, the highway seems to have changed a person. Although he is still arrogant, he has turned his arrogance into arrogance, and he is still righteous, but he is more benevolent and knows people very accurately. It's no longer the silly boy I used to fool around. Cao Cao sighed lightly: "Otherwise, no matter how strong its power is, I will have a way to deal with it." Like this kind of flute seed, just like Gongsun Zhan, if you give him a jade seal and bribe a few people to praise it twice, he will dare to risk the disapproval of the world to become the emperor. It's easy to calculate. ”
"It's come to this, Brother Mengde, don't be delusional. Not to mention that Yuan Shu is completely different from the beginning, but he has good strategies such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia around him, how can he be easily calculated by you? Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu is the emperor, but he is pulling Gongsun Zan to be the emperor together, and his subordinates are even more ironclad, and they have done enough ideological work, so they can't deal with it at all." ”
"Yes, the world is impermanent, and I don't know what happened, this kid on the road has changed so much, I, Cao Mengde, don't even have the qualifications to be an enemy with it." The corners of Cao Cao's mouth were slightly bitter. The stupid Yanai who was despised by him at the beginning has now become an existence that he looks up to.
"You seem to be a little off-topic, aren't we talking about the grievances between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? I see that the grievances between you and Yuan Shu are not small. Liu Bei said with a smile.
When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned red and he glared at Liu Bei: "If it were you, you were crushed by a person who grew up with you and was once crushed by someone you have always looked down on, will you have no resentment in your heart?" ”
"Your grievances are so big, I can imagine why you said that Yuan Shao would fight with Yuan Shu." Liu Bei said.
"The grievances within the family are unimaginable. Yuan Shu is a son-in-law, Yuan Shao is a concubine, and he is also a concubine from a humble background, it is difficult for you to imagine the inferiority complex and anger of Yuan Shao in the face of Yuan Shu when he was a child. Cao Cao said.
"The brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are more arrogant than the other, and they are both proud and self-reliant from the bottom of their bones. Yuan Shao can have today, and Yuan Shu has definitely played a great role. Although Yuan Shao once crushed Yuan Shu in all aspects of fame and ability, so that he no longer looked at Yuan Shu in his eyes. But I know that in the face of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao always has a sense of urgency, and when he is at a disadvantage, the arrogance and madness engraved in his bones will become more and more terrifying. Cao Cao sighed lightly.
"The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been each other's enemies and mortal enemies, one side is strong, the other party will be stimulated, become crazy, and strive to surpass the other party. At the beginning, the Yuan family released the two brothers at the same time, and one south and one north did not mean to give full play to the characteristics of these two people. As long as one side rises, the other side will erupt, if it goes well, one south and one north will dominate, and finally the world will become the current situation of two Yuan fighting. No matter who wins the world, the Yuan family will be the winner. ”
"The Yuan family is really big-hearted, dividing resources into two and cultivating two princes at the same time, they are not afraid to get away with it?" Liu Bei shook his head and said. The difference between two princes with one state and one prince with two states is difficult to estimate. It is not an exaggeration to bet on the resources in two ways than to halve the power that can be exerted if they are pooled and used. Besides, two princes who are not of the same mind and whose territory is thousands of miles apart can easily be broken by each other, and they can't even support each other. Like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two brothers are better, and they are directly mortal enemies of each other.
In order to suppress Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao directly put Liu Bei in the position of Yuzhou Assassin, and Yuan Shu also funded Gongsun Zan in order to suppress Yuan Shao. The Yuan family's way of playing, the heart is really not ordinary.
"The heritage and courage of the fourth and third princes are so amazing, although there are many problems, but in any case, from the current situation, they have indeed succeeded. The ownership of this world is ultimately decided by the two descendants of the Yuan family, and you really have to obey. Cao Cao sighed slightly.
"The times make heroes, and heroes make the times. The Yuan Clan's background is actually not enough to make you and me despair, we still have a lot of opportunities. But it's a pity that the abilities of the two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, are indeed too strong. While both sides regard each other as their greatest enemies and give us many opportunities to grow and develop, they still wipe us out, leaving only the two of them. Liu Bei also sighed.
"Yes, the family heritage is not too terrible, the terrible thing is that the princes who have these heritages still have the posture of heroes and the ability of emperors. In this way, no matter how strong our ability is, it will be difficult to go against the sky. It is indeed desperate to face an opponent whose background is far superior to ours and whose ability is not inferior to ours. ”
