Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Farce of the Red Face (1)

It has been a while since Lu Bu's family was connected to Xuchang, and during this period, Cao Cao thought about Diao Chan day and night.

Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others should have returned to themselves, and when they were in Xu Tian a few days ago, they were in front of the king, and they did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, for the so-called loyal ministers of the Han family who were angry at them, they also glared back very conscientiously.

In this case, if you store Diao Chan yourself, you shouldn't encounter too much opposition. After all, Diao Chan is only Lu Bu's concubine, not his wife, and she also served Dong Zhuo before serving Lu Bu, so no matter how much Lu Bu likes her, her status in Wenhou Mansion is destined to be high. Although Zhang Liao and the others also called her Mrs. before, they definitely wouldn't respect her as much as they did for Lu Bu's wife, Yan.

Cao Cao decided to set up a banquet tomorrow night to entertain many civil and military officials, and at the end of the banquet, he announced that he wanted to take Diao Chan as a concubine.

Hearing from the crowd that Cao Cao would hold a banquet tomorrow night, Chen Gong found a time to meet Cao Cao, and revealed to him the idea of hoping to let Liu Bei go to the banquet.

This is a banquet for himself to entertain his subordinates, what does Liu Bei want to do for no reason? Since Xu Tian expressed his malice towards himself that day, Cao Cao's perception of Liu Bei has deteriorated a lot, and sooner or later this guy will be in trouble if he stays.

However, doubts are doubts, and Cao Cao has no reason to refuse Chen Gong's request. At that time, everyone will gather together, are you still afraid that Liu Bei will dare to plot against you? In that case, it was just what he wanted, and he directly gave himself a reason to kill him.

"At the banquet tomorrow, when everyone is drunk, the lord can ask Cao Cao in public to ask for Diao Chan." Back in General Zuo's mansion, Chen Gong said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, and asked him to ask Cao Cao for Diao Chan, which already made him feel very embarrassed, and now Chen Gong asked him to mention this matter in front of everyone at the banquet, which made him feel even more embarrassed. You must know that Liu Bei originally planned to find a time to meet Cao Cao by himself, and secretly told the other party that he wanted to ask for Diao Chan.

Looking at Liu Bei's embarrassed face, Chen Gong knew that he couldn't let go of his face, so he coughed dryly and continued: "Even if the lord mentions it to Cao Cao alone, this matter will still be spread to the world, and then the lord's behavior of asking to see Cao Cao will seem sneaky in the eyes of others, but not beautiful." And asked Cao Thief in public, although his face was a little embarrassed, but as long as he let go, he would not lose a frank image of being downright and generous. In this way, the lord can alleviate the Cao thief's concerns about you, and can minimize the damage to your reputation. ”

"In that case, I'll do what the public station says." Liu Bei's biggest advantage is that he can listen to other people's suggestions, and he listens to what Chen Gong says at the moment, although he still has some instinctive rejection in his heart, he still agrees.

————————————————————————————————

The scale of the banquet was very large, and there were dozens of ministers and generals who were invited to the banquet, and almost all the important people under Cao Cao's account came with heads and faces. I saw dozens of tables lined up one after another, and the scene was very grand.

"Why is that big-eared thief here?" Xiahoudun and Gao Shun sat next to each other, and when he looked around, he suddenly saw Liu Bei's figure, and he immediately felt a little unhappy, and complained to Gao Shun.

"Huh? Liu Bei is also here? Gao Shun was also a little surprised by Liu Bei's appearance, this banquet was entertained by Cao Cao's subordinates, no matter from which point of view, it was not the occasion that Liu Bei should appear.

But don't think about things that you can't figure out, this is Gao Shun's consistent principle. Liu Bei doesn't come, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, it's his own business, he just needs to be responsible for eating and drinking enough at the banquet.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Chen Gong to appear at the banquet, which really surprised many people, especially the appearance of Chen Gong, which surprised everyone. The relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao is not a secret, Cao Cao is bent on getting Chen Gong, but Chen Gong hates Cao Cao to the core, and many people in Cao Ying's camp have heard a little about it. Now that even Chen Gong has appeared in today's banquet, can it be said that this banquet has a different meaning?

Guo Jia squinted, obviously the appearance of Liu Bei, Chen Gong and others was also something he had never expected. He thought about it in his mind, thinking about why they were here.

Well, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still don't have the slightest clue......

Forget it, don't think about it, just have a drink to drink later. To some extent, Guo Jia and Gao Shun may really be the same dog......

Some people in the venue made no secret of their hostility towards Liu Bei, such as Xiahoudun and Cao Ren.

And Liu Bei was unaware of these hostile gazes, and calmly found three consecutive vacant seats, and sat down with Guan Yu and Chen Gong.

Zhang Fei was not brought by Liu Bei, before coming to the banquet, Chen Gong expected that Liu Bei would be hostile to the generals of Cao Ying's trip, if Zhang Fei was present, I am afraid that he would have been furious.

"Liu Bei, Er An dares to come here, haven't you heard of the Hongmen Banquet?" In the end, Xiahoudun couldn't bear it anymore and sneered at Liu Bei.

"General Xiahou, my lord is the uncle of today's saint, worship General Zuo, the Marquis of Yicheng, the dignity of the identity is far better than you. Can you call him by his name without knowing humility or humility! Before Liu Bei could speak, Chen Gong was the first to speak and reprimand.

Xiahoudun was so angry that his face was blue and white for a while, but he was blocked by Chen Gong and couldn't say anything else.

"Who am I, this is not an old friend of the two of us, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai!" Just when Xiahoudun was ashamed and angry, a slightly playful voice sounded.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Gao Shun who spoke.

Gao Shun and Xiahoudun once guarded Dongjun together, and Chen Gong was Lu Bu's mastermind at that time, so Gao Shun jokingly called each other old friends, which was quite interesting.

"In the past, under the city of Dongjun, Gongtai also gave advice to Lu Bu, and he did his best, but I didn't expect that after a long time, Gongtai would have served under Uncle Liu Huang, which is really a matter of the world!" When Gao Shun spoke, he was completely chattering with an old friend.

"Lu Bu is my old master, and he was killed by Cao Cao! I vote for Uncle Liu Huang, it's always much better than those ungrateful people! How could Chen Gong not hear the meaning of ridicule in Gao Shun's words, and immediately counterattacked, and glared fiercely in the direction where Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and the others were.

"Mr. Gongtai, I originally thought you were a reasonable person, how can you reverse black and white so much today? Isn't it that Uncle Liu Huang who wants to kill Lu Bu? Gao Shun looked distressed and said, "Do you think, why didn't Liu Xuande descend early or late, but he descended not long after Lu Bu's death?" Surrender earlier, save the lives of thousands of soldiers; Surrender later, there are more than 10,000 defenders in Xiapi City, and the city is high and deep, or it may have the strength to fight. Doesn't this mean that he has already made a plan to use the power of our army to kill Lu Bu! And on the night Lu Bu died in battle, he brought a thousand people to rob the camp of 50,000 people, and Lu Bu's brain was not burned out, how could he do such an idiotic act? That must have been deceived by someone, so let him come and send him to death! Ah, the person who offered him a plan to send him to death wouldn't be you, right? It's no wonder that as soon as Lu Bu died, you were mixed with Liu Bei, tsk, it's really hard to draw the skin of a tiger and the bones, and you don't know the face but don't know the heart! ”

In the end, Gao Shun even pretended to squeeze two tears down. This not only made him secretly sigh, did his acting skills catch up with Liu Bei?

"It's hard to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones, and you don't know the face of the person but you don't know the heart...... That's right! Wonderful sentences, wonderful sentences. For Gao Shun to be angry for himself, Xiahou was very happy.

"By the way, when Lu Bu died, what did he shout about?" Gao Shun wiped his tears and asked Xiahou to ask, while winking at him.

"Liu Bei harms me! Liu Bei hurt me! Xiahou understood in his heart, and immediately pretended to be sad and indignant, and shouted loudly.

It's not a loss that they have guarded the city together, but they have a heart! Gao Shun praised in his heart.

"You, you!" Now that Chen Gong is angry, Rao is very resourceful, and he would never have imagined that someone would be so shameless that he could say that black is white.
