Xudu, Caofu.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao: "Now that the Ming Duke is famous, why not take advantage of this time to do the overlord's thing!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Now that the court is in turmoil, there are many powerful ministers, and they can't be moved. After years of fighting, this is the time to recharge. Do not move lightly. ”

Cheng Yu said, "If I know the situation of the imperial court, I have a plan." ”

Cao Cao listened, "I wish to hear what Zhongde has learned." ”

Next

Cao Cao invited the Son of Heaven to hunt in order to observe the movements of the imperial court. Liu Bei accompanied Guan and Zhang.

Emperor Xian didn't dare to disobey, took a treasure bow, received a golden arrow, and drove out of the city. Cao Cao led 100,000 soldiers, and Shi Yue led the army to escort him. Protecting the Son of Heaven is hunting in Xu Tian.

Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven rode in the same row, and everyone followed.

Shi Yue was nothing, but he noticed that Guan Yu on the side was glaring angrily, raising his eyebrows, and he was very indignant at Cao Cao's behavior of crossing the line. Second brother, pay attention and pretend not to see it. Shi Yue's eyes glanced at the knife in his hand, and his heart was cold. Why do you want me to escort you......

Emperor Xian said to Hou Liu Bei: "I want to see the emperor's uncle hunting today, can I?" ”

Liu Bei led the order, Liu Bei drove his horse forward, suddenly heard movement in the grass, bent the bow and shot the arrow, simply and neatly, and the arrow hit a thing. The soldier went to check and shot a rabbit.

When Shi Yue saw it, he was a little surprised, Liu Datou, it turns out that you can really fight.

The emperor applauded, "Uncle Huang's archery skills are exquisite." ”

Everyone continued to move forward, and suddenly a deer came in front of them, and the emperor was very happy to see it, and he stepped forward with a horse, and an arrow came out, and he missed, and another arrow came out, and he didn't hit.

The three arrows missed, Cao Cao stepped forward, "Qing is to shoot it, and please give me a bow and arrow." ”

When Emperor Xian heard this, he had to hand it over to the other party.

Cao Cao stepped forward immediately, shot with a full bow, hit the deer's back, and the deer fell to the ground in the grass.

The soldiers brought the deer back, and the ministers in the rear saw that the arrow was the golden arrow of the Son of Heaven, thinking that the Son of Heaven shot it, and bluntly said, "Long live!" ”

Shi Yue, Liu and the others are all in front of them, and they have seen the facts clearly, you fools! You're going to kill me.

At this time, Cao Cao rode his horse to block the Son of Heaven in front of him to meet him. When everyone saw it, they were shocked.

Guan Yu was furious at this time, and raised his knife to slap the horse out. In front of a big axe suddenly stopped, Guan Yu looked at it, and Shi Yue understood it with a glance. Signal don't mess around, I can't beat you. Fortunately, it's me, I don't care, if someone else is to escort you, you won't be so lucky.

Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Guan Yu's shoulder, don't mess around, Guan Yu held back and retreated. Then he glanced at Shi Yue, thinking a little thoughtfully.

Liu Bei stepped forward and said: "The prime minister's divine shooting is rare in the world. ”

Shi Yue saw Liu Bei shooting just now, and thought how strong he was, but now when he saw Cao **zhi again, he knew in his heart. I haven't counted how good my boss is, but I'm not as good as me.

Cao Cao turned around and replied with a smile: "This son of heaven is blessed." ”

Cao Cao immediately did not return the Son of Heaven's bow until the end of the paddock, set up a feast to drink, and the banquet was over. Everyone returned to Xudu.

Liu Bei's house

Liu Bei angrily reprimanded Yun Chang for what he had just done, "The second brother was angry, and he almost hurt us and others, Pan Feng was on guard, how dare he mess around." ”

Guan Yu knew that he was too impulsive, "When I saw Cao Cao committing the following crimes, I was angry and wanted to kill him and eliminate harm for the country." It's me who is too impulsive and doesn't think too much about it. ”

"If it doesn't work just now, it will hurt the Son of Heaven, Cao will be guilty of me, and I will never be able to turn over." Liu Bei said angrily, and said: "But just now, when Pan Feng saw you and others acting, he just blocked it, not to denounce us and others, it meant to save you." ”

Zhang Fei didn't know, "This person is not Cao Cao's henchman?" Why? ”

Liu Bei said: "I don't know, I waited for me to have a handle in his hands at this moment, Xu can't stay for a long time, I need to find a chance to escape." ”

Liu Bei looked out the window in the distance, and said weakly: "Moreover, if we want to do it, we need the words of the Son of Heaven, and the name is right." Otherwise, everything will be difficult, you two need to tell me if you do such a thing in the future, don't mess around. ”

Not long after Tian Hunting, Dong Cheng, the uncle of the country, brought out a jade belt from the palace, and the secret letter contained in the jade belt was the words of the Son of Heaven to ask Cao Cao.

In the secret room of Dong Cheng's mansion, a group of righteous people were convened to discuss Cao's matter. "Today, there is a secret word from the Son of Heaven, we can get rid of Cao Fuhan."

"The public has made a move, and my Xiliang soldiers are the external response!" One person replied.

"Uncle Guo, you said that there is another person, who is this person?"

Everyone only heard the sound of footsteps, "People are coming!" ”

Dong Cheng opened the door of the secret room, "Uncle Huang, you have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Cao Cao's mansion

Cheng Yu talked to Cao Cao, "As I said to the lord last time, now those who are interested in it may have secretly plotted against the lord at any time." ”

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "As Zhongde said, these foxes will come out with their tails exposed. I'm waiting to see it. We will know who is our enemy in the court. It's just a bunch of mediocre people who want to seek me. ”

Jizhou

Yuan Shao led the people to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao said: "Today's brother is arrogant and extravagant in Huainan, and he does not care about the people's feelings, which has aroused the anger of the public, and I am afraid that everyone will defect soon." "He made people return to the emperor and gave me the title of Hebei, intending to abandon Huainan and return to my Hebei. What do you think? ”

The strategist said: "The lord can't, Yuan Shu is the emperor, against the people's righteousness, the great rebellion, if the lord is in harmony with the same, it is the enemy of the world, and now Cao Cao is the teacher of justice, the world knows, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, occupy the high place." We just went out to fight against Cao Cao, and it was not in the name of it, which meant that we were enemies of the Son of Heaven. If you still accept Yuan Shu's rebellion, you will give others a chance in name. At that time, Cao Cao united all parties to attack us, which was not good for us. ”

Yuan Shao listened to it approvingly, "What Zhengnan said is extremely true, but now we want to attack Cao, but we have no proper name, how should we do it." ”

Strategist Tian Feng said, "Yuan Shu is coming at this time. Everyone knows that he has a jade seal, it is an opportunity, if he votes for the lord, he must pass through Xuzhou, Cao Cao learned, and will not allow him to join forces with us, when Cao Cao's army attacks Yuan Shu and goes, Yuan Shu will be defeated, and the jade seal will fall into the hands of Cao Cao. When the lord arrived, he spread rumors that Cao Cao was going to be the emperor, and we used this name to kill Cao and conform to the will of heaven. So now I only need to return with Yuan Shu, and pretend to inform him that I will wait for the soldiers to meet in Xuzhou, and ask him to come as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard it, "Okay! As said, immediately order someone to tell the highway, I am willing to take it, and I have sent someone in Xuzhou to answer it, so that he can come immediately! ”

Yuan Shu got Yuan Shao's book in Huainan, and he was overjoyed, and immediately abandoned this place and rushed to Hebei.

The news soon reached Xu Duzhong.

Cao Cao convened everyone to discuss the matter, "I learned that Yuan Shu wants to abandon Huainan and return to Hebei, and conspire with Yuan Shao, if they are united, it will be even more detrimental to us." This time they must pass through Xuzhou, Yuan Shao is afraid to send someone to respond, I need an army to block it, who will go? ”

Cheng Yu said, "This matter is an opportunity, and I want to push Liu Bei forward." ”

Cao Cao was puzzled, "Why?" We have an army and a general, why don't we go by ourselves. ”

Cheng Yu said: "The lord has always disbelieved Liu Bei, for fear of his rebellion. At this time, it is an opportunity, and this Xuzhou is to promote him as the state pastor. At this time, it happened to conform to him, and asked him to deal with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's second army, if he had a different heart, he might vote for Yuan Shao, and I would sit down. If you don't vote, it's better, we will wait for the war, and having this person is a great benefit to us, killing two birds with one stone. There are us in Xuzhou, and I am not afraid that he will dare to monopolize it. ”

Cao Cao fell into thought.
