Chapter 766: Invited to a banquet in the palace
Cao Cao nodded in agreement, to say that he had never been afraid of Liu Xie. is still the same thing, Liu Xie in his opinion, he has some ability, but unfortunately, he was born in troubled times, so he was born at the wrong time. It's just a little emperor, how can he be his opponent. It's not that he thinks too much of him, but in the whole world, his opponents are nothing more than Ma Mengqi, Liu Xuande, Sun Bofu and others, and the others are not in their eyes.
Cao Cao is known as the "traitor of troubled times", and it is absolutely impossible to say that he does not have the pride of others. He didn't think that Liu Xie was incompetent, but he didn't pay too much attention to him. In Cao Cao's eyes, everything in Xu Du is under his control, the bird in the cage, no one let him out, can he still fly out of the lu?
And after saying this, Cao Cao didn't wait for Liu Xie to speak, he directly said to Xu Chu behind him: "Zhongkang! ”
"The last general!"
"Come with me into the palace!"
"No!"
Liu Xie saw that he secretly despised Cao Cao in his heart. The heart said that you Cao Mengde, you Cao thief! I'm almost always on guard against me, isn't it just to enter a palace, and you still take Xu Zhongkang with you? In Liu Xie's opinion, this is all Cao Cao guarding against him, or he wants to let Xu Chu go for something, isn't it just to guard himself, afraid that he will endanger his personal safety.
As for Xu Chu's ability, Liu Xie of course knows the way, and he has the "courage of ten thousand people", and he is a rare tiger and wolf general on the battlefield. In the Yanzhou Army, it can be said that the martial arts of the two people are first-class, except for the red-faced Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, it is this Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang. It's just a pity that such a talent is working for a national thief. I don't know where the warriors who can serve the big man are, but I don't know where they are now? ——
At this time, Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, he still said: "Okay, Aiqing, please!" ”
"Hahaha! Your Majesty, please!! ”
You have to make a full set of things on the face, or no one will have a hard time. So even if Cao Cao no longer looks down on Liu Xieqi and secretly scolds him in his heart, he knows that he has nothing to do. But on the surface, for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, as a courtier, he still has to respect. What's more, there are still so many people at the gate of Xudu City. So it's better to give the emperor some face.
Although sometimes, he doesn't give face to the emperor, but at this time, face has to be given. As for getting to the palace, then it doesn't have to be like this time. Anyway, I'll be watching when the time comes. Let's see what Liu Xie is planning to do, just take one step at a time and see one step at a time. Anyway, I am taking the initiative. Li Du is on his side, can he still be afraid of him? Cao Cao thought in his heart at this time. That's true, not to mention that the advantages are all here with him, even if he doesn't pay attention to it, the big fist is the truth.
With the Yanzhou Army, Cao Cao is the truth. He Liu Xieman is only a few thousand people? How could it be possible to compete with Cao Cao. It's a pity that Liu Xie was lucky before, but what happened at this time. Anyway, it was he who lost it, not Cao Cao's side, and Cao Cao caught the handle. So much so that he now has to meet Cao Cao, wanting to minimize the loss of his side, but can this really be done, who knows how to do it-
As soon as Liu Xie finished talking to Cao Cao, Xun Yu came over and said to Cao Cao: "Yu is here to welcome the return of the master class!" ”
Cao Cao Da smiled and said, "Hahaha! During the expedition to Hebei, Xu Du relied on Wen Ruo for everything. If you work hard, you will have your own reward! ”
Xun Yu hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, lord!" ”
"Okay, now Zhong Kang and I will go to the palace for a banquet first, you take everyone back first, and I'll be back in a while!"
"No!"
With that, Xun Yu left with everyone, and Cao Cao sent them all away. As for Liu Xie, with Cao Cao here, who dares not to listen to him, as for the emperor, then he can only say sorry and was ignored by everyone. And after Cao Cao sent everyone away, he and Xu Chu followed Liu Xie into the palace and went to the banquet-
Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Xu Chu entered the palace. Liu Xie was indeed prepared, just waiting for Cao Cao to come, and then he ate and prepared for the banquet. After Liu Xie and Cao Cao both sat down, Liu Xie ordered someone to serve the food. As for Xu Chu, although he didn't take Liu Xie in his eyes, he had to say that he was indeed more loyal to his duties, and he knew what his lord had asked him to do. Don't say that his lord didn't say anything, he just let himself sit down, and he couldn't sit down at this time, so he stood directly behind Cao Cao.
As for Liu Xie, he also knew Xu Chu's thoughts, so he didn't say much. And Cao Cao, he also understands that if Xu Chu sits down, he can't sit down. When it comes to eating, what can't you eat, you must eat better than Liu Xie, so Cao Cao didn't say anything, so he acquiesced to Xu Chu standing behind him. For him, in fact, with Xu Chu by his side, he can be said to be at ease.
Xu Chu stood behind Cao Cao like this, although Liu Xie looked a little awkward, but he also knew that he couldn't care about others at all. And talking by yourself is not easy for others at all. Who made himself not his Xu Zhongkang's lord, but Cao Mengde, Cao Thief's subordinate, what is he.
Liu Xie is still self-aware, knowing that the Taoist family looks at Cao Cao's face and gives himself a gift, and he is still the emperor. But if people don't give face, even if they are emperors, what can they do. Or what else can I do to others, I have to look at Cao Mengde's eyes to do things, so can I interfere with Cao Cao's subordinates?
And when the food was served, Liu Xie smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Come, Aiqing, I salute you with a cup, and congratulate you on your victory in Hebei!" Come. Please! ”
Cao Cao also smiled when he heard this, and then drank the wine, and drank it all. Anyway, this face must still be given, but I have to take a good look at how he, Liu Xie, the little emperor, is going to say to himself today and how to persuade himself.
At this time, it was already three rounds of drinking, and Liu Xie also said a lot of things to Cao Cao that were not nutritious. Although Cao Cao didn't like to listen to it very much, he was in front of the emperor after all. I still have to put up with it, at least I have to say it in person.
At this moment, Liu Xie said: "Aiqing, I don't know if you know about Xu Du before?" ”
Of course Liu Xie understands that it is impossible for Cao Cao not to know about this matter. But how do you start to mention this day, in fact, I can only say that.
Cao Cao pretended to be stupid. "Ha Lu Ha! What His Majesty said. I don't know what it is? ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart, you Cao thief, you are clearly asking knowingly, can you still not know this? Those expressions you showed before have already betrayed you! and Xun Wenruo of Xu Du. Isn't he going to tell you about it, just keep pretending and see how long you can pretend-
Cao Cao was pretending to be stupid about this matter at this time, and Liu Xie couldn't tell the truth. Saying that you Cao Mengde is just pretending not to know, this must not be said, you can only slander it in your heart, at most.
So he said again at this time, "Alas, Aiqing, in fact, this matter is like this......"
As he spoke, Liu Xie told Cao Cao what had happened in Xu Du before. Of course, it is impossible for him to say that this matter was instructed by him Liu Xie, even if anyone knows the Tao, but this will not come out of his mouth. And of course Cao Cao won't say anything related to Liu Xie, anyway, there are some things, everyone can understand, if they really say it, to be honest, it won't be interesting.
And after Cao Cao listened to what Liu Xie said, he laughed secretly in his heart. Xin said that listening to the words of the little emperor and looking at his expression, if he was really a person who didn't know the truth of the Dao, he really wouldn't think of him. It's a pity that I already know the truth, so I won't be the kind of person who doesn't know the truth. In fact, I don't say that I put it myself, in Xudu, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are a few people who don't know the way-
After listening to what His Majesty said, the minister realized that Xu Du had such a big incident. Your Majesty, please rest assured, after all, the minister will severely punish the culprit in this matter, so as to set an example!! ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart, you are a Cao thief, this refers to Sang scolding Huai. What kind of severe punishment of the culprit, don't you know that it is your own idea, that means to severely punish me, in order to set an example? But in this regard, to be honest, Liu Xie has no temper at all, who let this matter be his own fault. The history books are all written by the victors, since ancient times, they have been kings and losers, and they have lost, but he Cao thief has won!
Liu Xie hurriedly coughed twice, "Ahem, Aiqing, I also have some other opinions on this matter!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to say?" ”
"Aiqing, I also deeply regret the matter of Xu Du. However, Xun Wenruo has already arrested a lot of people, and he has severely punished the culprit, so now Aiqing Hebei has won a big victory, and the class teacher has returned to the dynasty, which is a great joy, so it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in Xudu again! ”
After Cao Cao listened to Liu Xie's words, he smiled secretly in his heart, and said that this matter is because it is related to you Liu Xie, so you, the little emperor, are here to persuade yourself and not let yourself worry about it anymore, but if you don't come to kill chickens and monkeys, you people don't know what to do, how many eyes does Lord Ma have-
After listening to Liu Xie's words, it seemed that Cao Cao could think for ten seconds, and then he said: "Your Majesty, it is said that Your Majesty has said so, and the minister naturally has no objection." But the matter ...... Let's put it this way, Your Majesty, if the minister does not severely punish a few people, then the soldiers of the Yanzhou army will die in vain! In order to make them blind, the minister will definitely not let the culprit go free! ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he said in his heart that you Cao thief really want to kill everything, although I don't know how many people you have to kill, but it will definitely not be too little. Kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, but which ones will these chickens be? But no matter who it is, the one who dies the last is his own person, not your Cao Mengde's subordinate. If you act by yourself, how many people will die, and you have no choice, how many people will die for you in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie coughed a few more times, and at this time he was sweating down, "cough cough ......"
Cao Cao looked at it and hurriedly said, "Is there any problem with the dragon's body under Your Majesty?" ”
Liu Xie said in his heart when he heard this, it's not all for you to be a thief! But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say, "It's okay, I'm fine." However, Aiqing is a great Han pillar country, so you should take good care of your body, or it must not be the blessing of my Han Dynasty! ”
Although he said so, Liu Xie thought in his heart, if you Cao thief died today, it would be good, if you die, the north will be in chaos, and I myself will be a little more at ease. It's just a pity, "good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years", alas! (To be continued......)
