Western intelligence, Jia Wenhe should have given you a lot. What do you think? Cao Cao asked.

"Through Jia Wenhe's gift, as well as some information from the family, I probably already have some understanding of the situation in the West. I can't believe that there are such powerful countries in the far West unless it is verified by many parties. Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile.

"To this day, I know that we are just frogs at the bottom of a well. We are still obsessed with the Han land, and Yuan Highway's eyes have been set on the whole world. About Great Qin, oh no, it should be said that Rome, and rest in peace, these two empires have actually been recorded in the Han Dynasty, but we don't care. After all, the distance is too far, and I thought that outside of Dahan, it was a place with a harsh environment. Cao Cao sighed.

"Since today's Han soil can no longer accommodate the Han Dynasty, then I will go to the West to rebuild another one. In any case, the Han family will be orthodox in the end, and my descendants will be killed again one day, and then there will be only one empire in the world, that is, the Great Han. With his hands clenched, Liu Bei said with a solemn face.

"You are really full of righteousness and orthodoxy, could it be that you really lied to people and said too many things and even deceived yourself?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei's high-sounding appearance, and couldn't help but sneer: "We are all people who understand, what is orthodoxy?" Xia Shang Zhou? Or Qin? The change of dynasty is a cycle of heavenly principles, how can there be anything that does not change forever in this world? ”

"Haven't you forgotten all this? Since you consider yourself a general to conquer the west, don't you still have a sincere heart for the Han family? Liu Bei asked rhetorically. In fact, to a certain extent, he and Cao Cao are the same kind of people, but they are completely opposite. Cao Cao has a Han in his heart, but he is a man in his heart.

"I admit that the teachings I received since I was a child and the environment in which I lived made me loyal to the Han, and even when I was in power and held the Son of Heaven hostage, I still had a glimmer of hope and reverence for the Han family. But, now I've seen it through. The Han family is self-defeating because of its own erosion, and we have done our best. I, Cao Mengde, am not the general of the Han Dynasty, but the general of the Han people. A big man is not enough to restrain me, and when my eyes jump out of this circle, the big man really doesn't matter to me. Cao Cao said frankly.

"Xuande, I know that you are using the banner of Han and orthodoxy to attract more loyal people to your side and win the hearts of the people. I dislike it, but I appreciate it. If a person pretends to be benevolent and righteous for a lifetime, he is truly benevolent and righteous. And I, a real villain, will naturally be a villain all my life. People in the world are so ignorant that they can't see the essence of things clearly, let alone you and me. But it doesn't matter, it is enough to have some heroes as confidants. I, Cao Mengde, have never been afraid that others will misjudge me. ”

"Meng De, is the Han family really irrelevant to you?" Liu Bei sighed and said.

"When I welcomed the Han family, it was not just for the so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but I really had a loyal heart to the Han family. If the Son of Heaven is virtuous and virtuous, I may not be able to expand the territory of the Western General alone, and he will retire and correct the Son of Heaven. Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with sincerity.

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes closed slightly. He knew that what Cao Cao said was not a lie, this traitor in the eyes of the world was once loyal to the Han family, otherwise, Xun Yu would not have chosen him.

"However, the Son of Heaven disappointed me too much. Regardless of the general situation, he only knew how to fight for power and profit, and did not have the slightest understanding of a certain loyalty and merits, and only regarded a certain as a traitor like Dong Zhuo, and was on guard everywhere. The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy, since the Son of Heaven bears me, how can I be loyal to the Son of Heaven? Cao Cao said coldly.

"The Son of Heaven is young, and he is hastily ascending, plus Dong Zhuo's disaster is not far away, it is normal to act in a way that is extreme." Liu Bei explained.

"He's not extreme, he's stupid. Even if the Son of Heaven is stupid, those so-called loyal ministers who gather around the Son of Heaven are just as stupid. Cao Cao said hatefully: "If it's just a war, I can understand." But in the situation when the wolves were around, they not only secretly carried out cholera and assassinated us, but also communicated with foreign enemies and intervened at a critical time in the expedition. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been poisoned. ”

"What are they thinking? I don't think I'm the slightest bit disrespectful, do I think I, Cao Cao, am a traitor like Dong Zhuo just because I refuse to hand over my military power? What I Cao Mengde can't do, do they think other princes can do it? They don't look at what they are, a group of women and children's food bags, can one person lead the army to fight? I will hand over the military power, and I am afraid that the foundation laid in a few months will be handed over. They will go into the hands of others again and continue their journey to prosperity. ”

Cao Cao's heart was full of indignation. For the Son of Heaven, the first step in the so-called revival of the Han Dynasty was to destroy him Cao Mengde, which was such a chilling thing for him.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was silent. Speaking from the heart, if he is in Cao Cao's position, I am afraid he will also...

This contradiction is simply irreconcilable. The Son of Heaven is incompetent, Cao Mengde has the power and power, for the Son of Heaven, how can this be tolerated? If Cao Mengde is allowed to act, even if this world is fought by Cao Mengde, is it still the world of his Han Emperor? But if the Son of Heaven wants to seize power, it will not be tolerated by Cao Mengde. It is cruel to seize the world, his power is weak and there is little hope, and then handing over these scumbags is equivalent to completely cutting off hope.

Cao Cao is no wonder about this, he can only complain about making people. A son of heaven who has no power, no ability, and no mind encounters a capable minister like Cao Mengde, who is not stupid and loyal, and as a result, he can only force the capable minister to become a traitor.

"The Son of Heaven chose me because I don't have the surname Liu or Yuan, and the power is weak and easy to control. But he didn't see clearly what kind of character he was, with such a genius, what hope did the big man have? Since Emperor Ling, none of the sons of heaven have been completed, which shows that the Han family has exhausted its qi. Since he is the king of Xia Ji and Shang, the death of the country is inevitable. Cao Cao sneered.

Liu Bei's face darkened, and he couldn't help but explain: "Actually, it's not like that. The Son of Heaven has no virtue, and it is not the end of the Han family. Several sons of heaven are not virtuous and unorthodox, so they can't choose another virtuous monarch to support them. ”

"Another virtuous gentleman?" Cao Cao sneered: "Who to choose?" The two sons of Emperor Ling are all dead, there is no orthodoxy, and the descendants of the Han family who have a little virtuous name have been killed by Li Ru, who else can they choose? Now the most qualified person is you Liu Xuande, do you choose you? I, Cao Mengde, recognize you as the king, bow down and obey orders? ”

"Bei Cai is shallow and has a humble background, so he has no such qualifications, and what he is talking about is Bo'an Gong. You also know that he is absolutely qualified and capable of succeeding the emperor of the Han family. Liu Bei had a straight face.

"Liu Yu is indeed virtuous and capable, but he is too old. And his son is also a mediocre person, and I am afraid that it will be another dispute at that time. Xuande, I know what you mean, but Cao has already made up his mind to set up another portal. Since then, the Han family has nothing to do with me, but we are still our closest allies. Cao Cao said in a resolute tone.

"Brother Meng De, is there really no discussion?" Liu Bei was unwilling.

"That's all there is to it, no more need to say."
