Speaking of which, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao was really pitted by Liu Bei, not only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were taken, but even the six counties of Xuzhou were occupied by Liu Bei.

Since the Battle of Xuzhou, although Lü Bu was rescued by Liu Yu sent by Zhao Yun, the six counties of Xuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao after all.

After getting the six counties of Xuzhou, there was an episode, and the people of Xuzhou asked Liu Bei to stay as the pastor of Xuzhou to govern Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was taken aback at the time, he didn't know when Liu Bei had such a popular heart in Xuzhou, this is amazing, Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei had great ambitions, and he would never be willing to condescend to others, and he had already guarded against Liu Bei, and now he has a strong fear of Liu Bei, and it is even more impossible to leave Liu Bei in Xuzhou as Xuzhou pastor, he brought Liu Bei back to Xudu in the name of the Son of Heaven's commendation.

Subsequently, Cao Cao asked the Son of Heaven to appoint Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou, but he only had a name and no real power, and did not allow Liu Bei to go to Yuzhou to take office, and only confined Liu Bei to Xu Du to monitor at all times.

Liu Bei's city is very deep, he has the qualifications of a hero, how can he not know Cao Cao's plans, he is so uncomfortable, he has great ambitions, and he is confined to Xu Du, isn't he a caged bird, no matter how big his ambition is, he can't show it under Cao Cao's eyelids.

Liu Bei was depressed, but fortunately, Emperor Han Xian comforted him.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is also a bitter youth, since he was forcibly moved from Luoyang to Xudu by Cao Cao, he has been controlled by Cao Cao, as the emperor, he can't help himself, not only the major affairs of the court and politics are not allowed to make his decisions, even his private affairs Cao Cao often intervenes, from the inside to the outside he is a puppet.

Emperor Han Xian hated him, and he wanted to turn the tables around, kill Cao Cao, and be a real emperor.

As a result, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been secretly cultivating his own forces.

Knowing that Liu Bei was a hero and a relative of the Han family, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty immediately became naturally close to Liu Bei, and he also specially checked the royal family genealogy to confirm the identity of Liu Bei's Han family.

At the same time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was surprised to find that Liu Bei, like Liu Yu, the Marquis of Qin, was the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan, but Liu Yu was known as the seventeenth generation, while Liu Bei was the eighteenth generation.

If it is really counted from generation to generation, Liu Bei is just a generation older than Emperor Han Xian, and Emperor Han Xian almost blurted out the word 'Uncle Huang'.

At that time, Liu Bei was so excited, Emperor Han Xian not only determined his identity as a relative of the Han family, but also called him 'Uncle Huang', and his identity changed dramatically at this moment.

However, Liu Bei was happy too early, Dong Cheng suddenly reminded Emperor Han Xian that Liu Yu, Marquis of Qin, was the 'imperial uncle', and Liu Yu was Liu Bei's nominal 'uncle', if Liu Bei was called 'imperial uncle', then wouldn't it be necessary to call Liu Yu, Marquis of Qin, 'imperial ancestor'?

How can the emperor call the collateral clan relatives 'ancestor', this is too detrimental to the emperor's majesty, generally speaking, even if the emperor and the collateral clan are several generations apart, they are only collectively called 'imperial uncle', not 'imperial ancestor' and 'imperial ancestor' and the like.

"Since I have called the Marquis of Qin 'Uncle Huang', it is not appropriate to also call Xuande 'Uncle Huang', as far as my peers are concerned, how about being 'Brother Huang', Brother Xuande and Uncle Shimin are both King Jing of Zhongshan, Emperor Jing's great-grandson, Marquis of Qin is sitting in Guanzhong, and he is the pillar of the country, and Emperor Brother Xuande is in the court, he can also assist me, and Uncle Shimin is outside and inside, and there will be no traitors who dare to oppress me again." Emperor Han Xian said optimistically.

Liu Bei was very congested, he was originally the 'imperial uncle', but because Liu Yu was in front of him, he became the 'imperial brother', he was a generation behind, and the honorific title was not so loud, God knows how much he hated Liu Yu.

However, it is impossible for him to disobey Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the imperial brother is the imperial brother, and it is also a great honor to be called 'imperial brother' by today's son.

Emperor Han Xian and Liu Bei were happy, and they also 'recognized their relatives', so Cao Cao was not happy.

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu: "I am all called 'Brother Huang', and I am also with 'Uncle Huang' Liu Yu outside and inside, hehe, my mentality is very good, and I also said the word 'traitor', don't you just want to refer to me Cao Cao?" ”

Cao Cao always knew that Emperor Han Xian wanted to cultivate his own power, and he used to only make a small fuss with Emperor Han Xian, and he didn't take it to heart, but now Emperor Han Xian actually blatantly wooed Liu Bei, Cao Cao felt that Emperor Han Xian and Liu Bei were inflated.

"What's the plan to suppress the Son of Heaven? Let the Son of Heaven and Liu Bei be sober and sober, recognize the situation clearly, and don't always think about tossing those small actions. Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu thought about it, and it didn't take long to come up with a plan.

The next day, Cao Cao invited Emperor Xu Tian of the Han Dynasty to hunt.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't know Cao Cao's purpose, and he was first coerced by Dong Zhuo, then by Li Dao and Guo Yan since he was a child, and then by Cao Cao.

Emperor Han Xian wanted to refuse, but Cao Cao was resolute, and Emperor Han Xian had no choice but to agree.

Three days later, on the outskirts of Xudu.

Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 and hunted in Xu Tian with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The sergeants lined up the paddock, circumferencing more than 200 miles. Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian walked side by side, behind them were all henchmen and generals, and all the civil and military officials were squeezed in the rear in the distance, but Liu Bei was able to accompany Emperor Han Xian under Cao Cao's promise. Cao Cao deliberately competed with Emperor Han Xian for a horse's head, obviously suppressing Emperor Han Xian, and did not respect the prestige of Emperor Han Xian's son of heaven at all, Liu Bei was angry and cold.

At this time, a deer appeared in front of him, and Cao Cao stared at Emperor Han Xian and said, "I wonder if the ministers are lucky enough to witness His Majesty's archery?" ”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stared at by Cao Cao and was covered in hair, so he had to bend his bow and shoot an arrow, but he missed.

Cao Cao said: "The minister's archery skills are acceptable, and he dares to borrow His Majesty's bow to try to shoot an arrow for His Majesty." ”

When Emperor Xian of Han heard this, he handed over the bow to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao bent his bow and arrow, and hit the deer in the back with an arrow, killing the deer in the grass.

Xu Chu took advantage of this to take the lead and raised his arms and shouted: "Long live!" ”

Suddenly, the 100,000 soldiers who surrounded Xu Tian Zhouguang for more than 200 miles also shouted the word 'long live', and the prestige of the Son of Heaven of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty disappeared in front of Cao Cao, and the soldiers were obvious, only respecting Cao Cao, not knowing the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Han Xian was angry and frightened, and his face turned pale with fright.

Liu Bei's face was also a little pale, with his city mansion, how could he not know Cao Cao's purpose today at this moment, his heart was cold.

Originally, Liu Bei had imagined in his heart whether he could have the opportunity to borrow the power of the Son of Heaven, in addition to Cao Cao, to control the forces left by Cao Cao at that time, he could become the second largest prince in the world after Yuan Shao, and control the court on behalf of Cao Cao.

The idea is very beautiful, but the reality at this moment gave Liu Bei a hard slap, Xu Du up and down, except for a few civil officials such as Dong Cheng, all the generals only respect Cao Cao, and they don't pay any attention to the Son of Heaven, and his vision is a dead end.

Emperor Han Xian was hit hard, he first overturned the case in anger, and then howled and cried, almost disheartened.

Empress Fu came to persuade her, and Emperor Han Xian only hugged Empress Fu and cried: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been a traitor and a male: first suffered from Dong Zhuo, and then suffered from the rebellion of Dong Zhuo. What ordinary people have not suffered, I and the queen are both committed. finally fled back to Luoyang from Chang'an East, and fell into the hands of Cao Cao; Cao Cao is generally the same as Dong Zhuo, Li, Guo and others, dictatorship of power, and good at prestige. Every time I see it, it's like a man's back. Today in the paddock, all the sergeants shouted 'Long live' to him, which is the honor of the Son of Heaven! It is expected that Cao Cao will usurp the throne sooner or later, and that will be the time when my wife will die! ”

Empress Fu was frightened by Emperor Han Xian's words.

Emperor Han Xian was frightened and couldn't sleep at night, and finally couldn't help but find an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the national abbot Fu Wan and Dong Cheng entered the palace, and successively plotted with Fu Wan and Dong Cheng.

In the end, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty bit his finger and wrote a secret edict in blood and ordered Empress Fu to sew it into the purple brocade lining of the jade belt with her own hands, which was the 'edict of the cloth belt'.

The meaning of the edict is roughly as follows: order Liu Yu, Marquis of Qin, Yuan Shao, the general Yuan Shao, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, Sun Ce of Jiangdong and other princes in the world to jointly attack Cao Cao, punish the traitors, and restore the society Ji Yunyun.

The edict was taken out of the palace by Dong Cheng, and then Dong Cheng secretly contacted the people who could be united, preparing to find a way to bring the edict out of Xudu.

……

In order to prevent Cao Cao from doubting himself and murdering himself, Liu Bei planted vegetables behind closed doors during this time, watered them personally, and looked like he didn't care about the world.

To say that Cao Cao is not very happy, because of Xun Yu's attitude.

Cao Cao said angrily to Cheng Yu in private: "Xu Tian is hunting, but I really see a lot of things. Look at that Xun Yu, what was his expression at that time? I didn't know that his heart was toward the Son of Heaven, not me! ”

Although he was angry, Cao Cao didn't just treat Xun Yu well, but he had no trust at all.

When Xun Yu was put down for the time being.

Cao Cao didn't know about the edict, and when he saw that Liu Bei was scared like this, he was secretly proud.

However, Cao Cao's city mansion is not shallow, how could he not see that Liu Bei did it deliberately, and he would not relax his vigilance against Liu Bei because of Liu Bei like this.

On this day, while the plum forest flowers were blooming, Cao Cao was interested, so he invited Liu Bei into the house to drink, and then tried Liu Bei by the way.

Liu Bei was frightened, and after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he drank wine with Cao Cao Meilin.

In the drinking room, in the face of Cao Cao's temptation, Liu Bei only responded by belittling himself and elevating Cao Cao, looking weak and helpless, wanting to lower Cao Cao's defense against himself, which was a battle with Cao Cao.

Suddenly, the clouds were indifferent, the rain was coming, and a dragon appeared outside the sky.

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked Liu Bei: "Can Xuande know the changes of the dragon?" ”

Liu Bei tried his best to belittle himself, how dare he know about the changes in the 'dragon', you must know that the dragon has always been compared to the Son of Heaven and a person with lofty ambitions, so he shook his head and said: "I don't know the details." ”

Cao Cao smiled and narrowed Liu Bei's eyes slightly, and said, "The dragon can be big and small, and it can be promoted and hidden; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Fang is deep in this spring, the dragon changes when the time comes, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world. Xuande, you have been in all directions for a long time, you must have met many heroes and heroes, you say that in today's world, who can be called a hero? ”
