is too greedy and easy to die, the ambition of the Yuan family is so big, not to mention other families, even the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are afraid that they are incompatible. Liu Bei sneered.

"This is natural, such a choice, almost the enemy of the world, even the Yuan family, the fourth world, the three dukes, and the protégés and former officials all over the world, can only die all the way. You and I both know the personalities of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, with their arrogance and desire to control, how could they not attack the Yuan family after taking charge of the world? The greatest backing of the old is also the most hated enemy of the future. Cao Cao said.

"But the Yuan family doesn't care about this, no matter how ruthless Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are, even if they uproot the entire Yuan family, they can't destroy the Yuan family, because they themselves are a member of the Yuan family. Their success is the success of the Yuan family, and their growth is the growth of the Yuan family. The family has always been like this, with blood as the connection, the strong as the main family, and the weak as the side branches. Cao Cao's gaze was slightly solemn: "Even I suspect that the Yuan family still has hidden branches, but I don't know where they are hidden, just in case, in order to plan for the future." ”

With his fists clenched, Liu Bei's face was full of hatred and said: "The third prince of the fourth world, the world is favored by the emperor, and the descendants of the Han family are still greedy and not satisfied, and they are really shameless to do such a dirty thing, hateful, hateful!" ”

Cao Cao looked into the distance with complicated eyes, and said with deep meaning: "The human heart is like this, greedy, never know satisfaction. For the Yuan family, whose protégés and former officials are all over the world, what if there are a few more generations of three dukes? But the icing on the cake. They want to go further, except to dominate the dynasty, there are only two ways to change the day, and the former is even more difficult than the latter. Not to mention that the world was already in tatters at that time, and it might have been even worse if it had to hold on. For these families, it is naturally best to take the initiative into their own hands. ”

"When the world was in turmoil, how much did the family do behind the scenes?" Liu Bei said suddenly.

"Far more than you think." Cao Cao sneered slightly.

"Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing was Yuan Shao's idea, and the princes begged Dong to be the leader of Yuan Shao's alliance, do you think all this will be a coincidence? Liu Yan's state pastor, He Jin and the ten permanent servants died together, and even the Yellow Turban Rebellion was behind the family's handiwork. ”

"What kind of eunuch chaos is just a ridiculous excuse. How can there be chaos in this world because of just a few eunuchs? If it weren't for the great power of Confucianism in the family and endangering the Son of Heaven, how could Emperor Ling support the eunuchs at that time? The root cause of cholera in the world does not lie in Zhang Jiao, not in the ten permanent servants, but in the wealthy gentry at the top. Because the interests of this big man are no longer enough for them, this big tree with rotten roots can no longer support this group of bloodsuckers. ”

Today's Cao Cao is no longer the Cao Mengde who was full of enthusiasm, determined to serve the country, and determined to be a general of the expedition to the west. has seen countless people's warmth and coldness, especially the period of "flattering" the Son of Heaven, which allows him to see many problems more thoroughly. During this period of time in Jinling, after a lot of communication with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao had a more thorough and novel view of many things.

When Liu Bei heard this, he fell into deep thought. On the surface, he takes supporting the Han family as his own responsibility, but he is just a hero who realizes his ambitions under the banner of benevolence and righteousness. Otherwise, he would not have named his two sons Feng and Chan respectively, let alone the emperor.

Now, the fig leaf of the Han family has been completely torn off, and he no longer has to disguise, let alone disguise in front of Cao Cao.

Great loyalty is like treachery, and treachery is like loyalty, this is the true portrayal of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

A so-called "hijacking" of the Son of Heaven did not claim the title of emperor until his death. In this regard, although many people give reasons such as the wrong timing, the instability of the people, and the incurrence of great enemies, they are not yet emperors when they are old. Besides, was the national strength of Wei still weak at that time? Cao Pi can be called the emperor, but Cao Cao can't be called it? I'm afraid Cao Cao still has his own persistence in his heart.

And unlike Sima Yi, the territory at that time was all laid down by Cao Cao, and the military power and official appointments were all in Cao Cao's hands. When Sima Yi usurped power, there were still many opposition forces and armies within the Wei State, and Cao Cao had no problems at that time. Fighting the world by himself, Emperor Han is just a puppet, so what is there to fear?

hated the Son of Heaven to the bone, thinking that he would not give the Son of Heaven a chance to take power and exclude dissidents. Cao Cao, who is accused of great rebellion, what choice can he have if he stands on his side? Is it possible for a cowardly son of heaven like Liu Xie to succeed? It is Cao Cao who is willing to give up power, and I am afraid that it will be Yuan Shao and others who are cheaper in the end. And with Liu Xie's temperament, I am afraid that after Cao Cao hands over power, he will incur the disaster of killing.

Since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven and faced the situation of chaos in the world and the rise of princes, Cao Cao had no way out. No matter who it is, in Cao Cao's position, he doesn't dare to say that he will do better than Cao Cao. A son of heaven who wants you to die every day, a group of people are pulling back their hind legs. At present, knowing what kind of person Yuan Shao is, he still delusions that Yuan Shao is a loyal minister, can revive the Han family and cause trouble for Cao Cao, this kind of person will hate him if he stands in Cao Cao's position.

No matter which princes greet the Son of Heaven, which princes will become the thorn in the eye of the Son of Heaven, the thorn in the flesh of the ministers, and the target of the public, and the master of high merit. Cao Cao's actions are actually very good. He had no other choice, what else could he choose in front of the great Han and his own clan's lives and all the lives of all the civil and military forces under his command? Involuntarily not being the emperor is already the greatest loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

On the contrary, Liu Bei, the so-called descendant of the Han family and the benevolent king, is the emperor. The two sons, one for Feng and the other for Zen, this explains everything. Some people may say that Liu Feng's original life is called Kou Feng, but it is just a coincidence. But when Liu Bei named Liu Chan, didn't he consider this? In ancient times, the avoidance of the Son of Heaven was so important, how could Liu Bei, a descendant of the Han family, not know it. And after he was "persuaded" to be the emperor, the three ministers who had opposed it died and were snubbed, which shows his heart.

The distinction between loyalty and treachery is indescribable. But, judging from the results alone, where is Liu Bei more loyal than Cao Cao? Tao Qian "let" Xuzhou, Liu Qi "let" Jingzhou, Liu Zhang "let" Yizhou, run around, who is unlucky, for the sake of "righteousness", "forced" to do a lot of despicable things, really "benevolence and righteousness". But as it is, the hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness is almost a lifetime, and it is really admirable.

"It seems that the death of the Han family has to die!" Liu Bei sighed slightly, and said in a gloomy tone.

"The fate of the dynasty is counted, and the elders are only five or six hundred years old, and the Han Dynasty has lasted for a long time. The cause planted by Emperor Guangwu at the beginning is also natural to have the current result. Cao Cao said indifferently.

At this time, he has done his best to the Han family, and he can definitely be called the court pillar of the Han Dynasty and a loyal minister. When the princes of the world were proclaimed emperors, only he and Liu Bei always adhered to their duties, no one could blame, and they had a clear conscience.
