Chapter Eighty-Seven: Liu Bei's Descent (II)

Regarding Liu Bei's surrender, not to mention that Zhang Fei couldn't accept it, even Cao Cao felt incredible.

When Cao Cao led the army to the gate of Xiapi City, what he saw was Liu Bei holding the seal of Xuzhou Mu, standing alone in front of the greatly open Xiapi City Gate.

"Liu Bei greets Cao Gong!" Seeing Cao Cao leading the army to him, Liu Bei bowed deeply and said to Cao Cao in a loud voice. His voice was loud, but his tone was extremely humble. While bowing, Liu Bei lifted the Xuzhou Mu Yin Seal above his head and raised it high.

Cao Cao was dumbfounded, what do you mean? This is a surrender?

There are still 10,000 soldiers in Xiapi City, and the city is high and deep, if Liu Bei resists stubbornly, he will probably have to spend a long time to break through the city, and pay a lot of price. Cao Cao was ready for a hard battle, but he never thought that he hadn't given the order to attack yet, and Liu Bei's kid actually jumped out by himself to say that he wanted to surrender.

It's as if he has gathered his strength and is ready to swing his fist at the enemy fiercely, but after the fist is swung, it is in a ball of cotton, so Cao Cao's mood is very delicate now.

Of course, Cao Cao still appreciates Liu Bei's move to understand current affairs. If only the princes of the whole world could know each other like Liu Bei, and they would look down on the wind wherever their troops went, then it would be much easier to pacify this troubled world.

Therefore, Liu Bei's behavior must be commended, and it is not enough to commend him, but also to greatly reuse him and set a superior example for others: as long as you submit to me and don't go against me, you will be able to eat and drink spicy food, and the future is limitless!

Liu Bei led Cao Cao and his soldiers and horses into the city. In Xiapi City, Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei, who was glaring at him, and other scribes with different faces. However, although Zhang Fei showed malicious intent towards Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't pursue these anymore, Liu Bei surrendered, and his subordinates must have some ideas, which is normal. It would be strange for the lord to surrender to others, and his subordinates did not react at all. There is no need to worry about this at all, as long as time is given, Cao Cao is fully confident that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others can be used for himself.

Xuzhou has been decided, Cao Cao and his party will be grandiose to drive back to Xuchang, Liu Bei and his subordinate civil and military personnel naturally followed Cao Cao into Xudu.

Liu Bei surrendered, and Chen Zhi, who was a prisoner of Cao's army, naturally returned to Liu Bei. This is not a big deal in Cao Cao's opinion, anyway, Liu Bei is already his subordinate, and if you stay under his account, you will stay under your own account.

As for Chen Gong, he was still very stubborn at first, but he begged to die. It's just that Liu Bei found Chen Gong alone, and after an interview, he also canceled the idea of begging for death. Of course, in Chen Gong, he only belongs to Liu Bei, not Cao Cao. But like Chen Zhi, Cao Cao still doesn't care about this statement, what's yours is mine.

After entering Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately became the Son of Heaven and awarded Liu Bei the title of General Zuo and the Marquis of Yicheng; awarded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as partial generals, and sealed the inner marquis; Awarded Chen Gong as engaged in Zhonglang, Fengdong Pavilion Marquis; The rest of Liu Bei's account also had a reward.

As soon as this reward came out, everyone was in an uproar. Liu Bei was only a general of Pingdong before, and he was suddenly promoted to General Zuo, which was a few levels in a row. You must know that Gao Shun, the highest-ranking military general under Cao Cao's account, is now just a general, and he is several steps behind Liu Bei's General Zuo. And Chen Gong's position as Zhonglang is almost second only to Xun Yu's long history in terms of official position, and it is even higher than Guo Jia's military advisor sacrificial wine.

Cao Cao's reward is generous, which can be seen in general.

"Hmph, what is that big-eared thief capable of making the lord pay so much attention!?" Xiahoudun slammed the wine glass on the table and said angrily.

As soon as Liu Bei came, he was able to hold a high position according to this, and Xiahoudun, as the general of Cao's army, was naturally unhappy. Although he would not oppose Cao Cao's decision, this did not prevent him from seeing Liu Bei unhappy.

Especially when Zhao Yun was injured by Guan Yu, Xiahoudun vowed to break Guan Yu's body into ten thousand pieces, but now Guan Yu was awarded the title of partial general by Cao Cao, and he is considered his colleague, so this oath is naturally impossible to fulfill.

"Liu Bei is a person, and he still has the ability. Moreover, the lord also wants to show the princes of the world that he is broad-minded, and it is reasonable to reuse him. Gao Shun, who was sitting opposite Xiahoudun, was not so annoyed, and took a leisurely sip of wine, even with a slight smile on his face.

"Changgong is broad-minded, I don't have such a broad heart!" Xiahoudun filled the glass of wine again, and then drank it in one gulp, but he couldn't dissolve the resentment in his heart at all.

"It has nothing to do with the mind or anything, it's just ......" Gao Shun said halfway, but for a while he couldn't think of what to say "just "it's just "what to say later", so he smiled and didn't continue.

"Well, Chang Gong and Yuan Rang, you won't think I'm uninvited!" After Gao Shun and Xiahoudun drank for a while, they saw one person slowly entering the restaurant, and when he saw Gao Shun and Xiahoudun, he was overjoyed and walked directly towards the location of the two.

You don't have to look at it, Gao Shun knows that it is Guo Jia. That guy, if you don't drink for a day, you will probably be uncomfortable to death.

"How can we dislike Feng Xiao!" Xiahoudun said loudly. Because Gao Shun was friendly with Xiahoudun and Guo Jia at the same time, Guo Jia and Xiahoudun also drank together a few times, which can be regarded as a good friendship.

"It's good if you don't dislike it!" Guo Jia smiled and sat down beside the two.

"Two, what do you think of Liu Bei?" After drinking two more glasses of wine, Guo Jia asked casually.

"What else can you see? The two brothers beside him are still capable people, as for him Liu Bei, he is just a puppet who weaves mats and sells shoes. Faced with Guo Jia's questioning, Xiahoudun pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Chang Gong also sees it that way?"

Gao Shun looked around, then lowered his voice and said four words: "The hidden dragon is in the abyss." ”

Hearing Gao Shun's answer, Guo Jia's face changed slightly. To be honest, he did have a jealousy of Liu Bei, but Gao Shun gave Liu Bei such a high evaluation, which still made him feel a little unexpected.

The hidden dragon is in the abyss, which means that Liu Bei is just temporarily living under the people at this time, as long as the time is ripe, he may take off above the nine heavens at any time.

Guo Jia wanted to say something, but Xiahoudun shouted first: "What kind of hidden dragon is not a hidden dragon, Changgong, you are too proud of that straw sandals seller!" ”

Gao Shun smiled and didn't explain anything more. Guo Jia originally wanted to speak, but when Xiahou was yelled at like this, he just smiled slightly, and took back what he originally wanted to say into his stomach.

The three of them continued to drink, and for the rest of the time, the three of them laughed as usual, but they never mentioned Liu Bei.
