Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Farce of the Red Face (3)
"Xuan, Xuande, what did you say?" Cao Cao almost doubted that he had heard it wrong, that Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who took his reputation very seriously and talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, was actually begging him for Diao Chan at this time?
It's not a short time to observe this guy by yourself, and I've never realized that the other party is a greedy womanizer! Liu Bei, who has always shown himself as a humble gentleman, how could he ask for Diao Chan from himself so abnormally today?
What is hateful is that Liu Bei still spoke before himself, and Cao Cao felt a regret in his heart! I knew that there would be such a stubble, so I should have made up my mind as soon as possible and declared Na Diao Chan a concubine. As long as he let go, Liu Bei would never dare to ask for himself again.
And grab a woman with yourself? Liu Bei would not be reckless to this extent.
But now that Liu Bei's request has been said before himself, the situation is different, at least Cao Cao is no longer convenient to say his true intentions at this time.
Besides, Cao Cao is not Dong Zhuo, although he is so beautiful, beauty is always just a seasoning for him. Although beauties have status in their minds, they are certainly not as important as talents and countries.
Since Liu Bei said the words of asking for Diao Chan, Cao Cao's thoughts about Diao Chan have faded a lot. The question he is thinking about now is, if he gives Diao Chan to Liu Bei, can he exchange Liu Bei's allegiance to him?
However, this problem was quickly overturned by himself, if Liu Bei did not have the title of the imperial uncle, he might be able to win his loyalty. But now Liu Bei is the uncle of today's son, and his fate can be said to have been integrated with the Han family, even if it is placed under his own account, it is impossible to completely concentric with himself.
If the contradiction between himself and the Han family is irreconcilable, Liu Bei will definitely stand on the side of the Han family and oppose him. No matter how much gold and silver treasures and stunning beauties Cao Cao rewarded him, this could not be changed.
But even if you can't completely recover Liu Bei and reward Diao Chan with him, at least you can exchange it for some gratitude to yourself, Cao Cao thought in his heart. Moreover, even if Liu Bei is a man of little kindness, it is not beneficial for him to give Diao Chan to him, for example, he can use this to stir up the relationship between Emperor Han and Liu Bei, and for example, he can use this to spread his reputation for preferential treatment of talents, so that more heroes and heroes can defect to him.
When Cao Cao thought of this, he almost agreed to it, but the words stopped when he came to his lips. Cao Cao's personality has always been suspicious, he knows that Liu Bei is by no means a greedy person, and marrying Diao Chan can not bring him the slightest benefit in the room at night, but will bring a lot of bad influences.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Liu Bei wants to accept Diao Chan, there must be a reason why he doesn't know about it. Until these reasons are understood, Cao Cao will not easily agree to the other party's request.
"Xuande's invitation, it really surprised me." Cao Cao smiled and said, "But it's in a hurry, let's discuss it later." ”
Cao Cao did not agree immediately, Liu Bei had already expected this, Chen Gong had told him before that Cao Cao might not immediately agree to his request, but in the end he would definitely allow it.

Diao Chan leaned alone by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window in amazement.
It was not a secret that Liu Bei begged Cao Cao for Diao Chan, but under Cao Cao's intentional promotion, it soon spread throughout Xuchang.
In this regard, Emperor Han, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others were extremely surprised, they could not believe that Liu Bei would make such a request like Cao Cao, and even thought that this was Cao Cao's conspiracy and his intention to discredit Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei did not deny this, but generously admitted the matter, which almost shocked everyone's jaws.
"I still attach so much importance to that Liu Xuande, and I don't hesitate to change the genealogy to recognize him as my uncle, just hoping that he can help me fight against Cao Thief. Unexpectedly, I, I finally lost my eyes! When Liu Xie heard Liu Bei personally admit to asking for Diao Chan, he immediately couldn't calm down.
The news spread so quickly that Diao Chan himself soon found out.
She is unwilling, she resents, she is angry, but what is the use of all this? After all, she is just a weak woman, and she is also a woman who has lost her support and sent others under the fence, and she has no control over her own destiny.
Of course, it can't be said that you can't be autonomous, but if you choose to end your own life, you should still be able to do it.
If you die, you don't have to face so many disturbances, you don't have to force a smile and serve those men you don't look down on.
But is it really that simple to die? At least Diao Chan doesn't think he has the courage yet. Although Diao Chan's life is sad, she is far from having the courage to end her life with just a touch of her neck.
Forget it, Liu Bei is Liu Bei, anyway, since that night, after his adoptive father Wang Yun said those words to himself, my heart may be completely cold. Whether it's Lu Bu or Liu Bei, what's the big difference? In short, they are all men who can't control their desires.
"Today, Dong Zhuo is arbitrary and domineering, and his righteous son Lu Bu is extremely brave, and the father and son have caused chaos in the Han family, resulting in the collapse of the dynasty. However, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Lu Bu, they are all anxious people. Thou hast the appearance of captivating the country and the city, but you can commit yourself to the two thieves, act at the opportunity, provoke the relationship between their father and son, and make them kill each other! Although it has been several years apart, every time I think back to the scene of that night, this passage will clearly ring in Diao Chan's ears.
Although Wang Yun said this, his tone was extremely earnest, even with a hint of pleading. But Diao Chan knew that he couldn't refuse. Once he says something like he is unwilling, then from now on, this Situ Mansion will no longer have a place for his own life. If you don't get it right, it is possible that you will be sunk at the bottom of the river because of this.
Although Wang Yun claims to treat herself like her own daughter, only Diao Chan herself knows that she is just a dancing girl cultivated by Wang Yun after all, and her mission is to become Wang Yun's pawn and be at her mercy.
A wife who dares to disobey her master's wishes will never end well, not to mention that she is just a woman with no status.
So Diao Chan could only force a smile and willingly be used by Wang Yun.
After serving the dirty and fat Dong Zhuo, he had to serve the conceited Lu Bu. People often say that the red face is a disaster, but how many people see the bleakness of the fate of the red face?
Although Lu Bu loves him very much, and it can even be said that he is almost obedient, Diao Chan may also have a good impression of Lu Bu. But to say how desperately Diao Chan loves Lu Bu, it is unlikely.
And now that Lu Bu is also dead, this time it is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who is known for his benevolence, who covets his beauty. Diao Chan didn't like Liu Bei, but he didn't have any choice.
Looking at the free goldfish in the pond outside the window, Diao Chan could only let out a long sigh of resentment from his mouth.
