Of course, Liu Bei couldn't know about such a sensitive topic, so he said: "Bei is only a mortal with the naked eye, how can you know who is the hero in the world?" ”

Since Cao Cao asked such a topic, he naturally wouldn't let Liu Bei go so simply, so he smiled and said: "It's okay to talk about it, even if you haven't met yet, you can talk about it when you hear his name, and then comment on whether it's right or not." ”

Liu Bei was helpless, and after pondering for a while, he began to mention: "Huainan Yuan Shu, who has the ambition to be the emperor, although he has failed and become a national thief, but he has also dominated one side, and he has enough soldiers and food, can he be a hero?" ”

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully: "The general of the defeated army, the dry bones in the grave, the rebel thief, he won't live long, he will be captured and killed by me sooner or later, and he can be regarded as a hero." ”

Liu Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Yuan Shao of Hebei, the fourth ancestor and the third duke, now occupies the four states of Hebei, known as the first prince in the world, with strong strength, and the ambition to plot the world, can he be a hero?" ”

Cao Cao was equally disdainful, he shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Shao? I grew up with him in Luoyang, and I know that he is a person, he is fierce and timid, indecisive, and he does great things and spares his life, all relying on the shadow of his ancestors to achieve this achievement, what kind of hero is he? ”

Liu Bei said again: "There is a person who is listed among the eight juniors in the world, Weizhen Kyushu, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng can be a hero?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It's not a real name, it's not a hero." ”

Liu Bei said again: "Jiangdong Sun Ce, his blood is strong, he has dominated Jiangdong, can he be regarded as a hero?" ”

Cao Cao paused, then shook his head and said, "In the name of his father, he is not as good as his father, and he is not a hero. ”

Liu Bei said again: "Yizhou Liu Zhang, can he be a hero? ”

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully and said: "Although he is a member of the Han family, he is incompetent and has no ambition, he can only guard the land of Yizhou, and he is not worthy of the word hero." ”

Liu Bei was silent and did not continue.

Cao Cao drank a glass of wine and said, "Why didn't Xuande continue to talk, isn't there still someone who hasn't said it?" ”

Liu Bei was reluctant, and also asked: "Liu Yu in Guanzhong, Liu Shimin, in the early years, the three horsemen captured the city, conquered Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and recently attacked the Huns, can they be heroes?" ”

Cao Cao didn't answer immediately, he thought of the early years of the Nineteenth Road Princes to kill Dong, and thought of Liu Yu's continuous rise over the years, after a while he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Liu Shimin's city is very deep, looking at its rise, no one in the world can stand out from it, and I am not as good as it, I am the true hero of the world!" ”

Liu Bei was sad, and had a feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred, so he continued to be silent.

Cao Cao was also silent for a while, and suddenly he smiled again: "Although I have to admit that Liu Shimin is a hero, he is not the only one in the world who is a hero, there are two others. ”

Liu Bei asked curiously, "Who is the prime minister talking about?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei, and suddenly implied a temptation: "Naturally, it's me and Brother Xuande." ”

Liu Bei was taken aback, and immediately realized that there was a murderous intention, his back was cold, just at this time, the rain was coming, the thunder was loud, Liu Bei's mind turned, the sea of consciousness flashed, his hand shook instantly, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, after the thunder, he pretended to calmly bow his head to pick up the chopsticks, and at the same time seemed to bow his head to Cao Cao, after getting up, he shook his head helplessly and said: "The power of the shock is even here." ”

Cao Cao was already a little drunk, he didn't know that Liu Bei was deliberate, but it was really because of the thunder, which shows that Liu Bei is not a person with a tough mind, and he put down a lot of defense, so he joked: "The eldest husband is afraid of thunder? ”

Liu Bei smiled helplessly: "The sage cloud and thunder are the will of heaven, and whoever dares to be afraid of the will of heaven in the world cannot be feared." ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, everyone in the world was afraid of thunder, but he Cao Cao was not afraid, and then Cao Cao did not continue to test Liu Bei, and after drinking a few more glasses with Liu Bei, he was almost drunk, so he let Liu Bei leave.

Liu Bei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, his back was covered with cold sweat.

Xu is not peaceful, I am afraid that the storm will rise, Cao Cao is also a tiger and wolf, living under Cao Cao, sooner or later he will be seen through by Cao Cao, and he should find a way to leave Xu Du.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei's eyes are indeed vicious, although he still doesn't know about the edict, he feels the turmoil of Xu Du, and he avoids it.

Liu Bei was afraid that if he stayed in Xudu any longer, he would be killed by Cao Cao sooner or later.

Taking advantage of this day, there was sudden news in Huainan, Yuan Shu lost Shouchun, fled to the south of the Huai River, and after the strength was greatly damaged, he was attacked by Sun Ce again and again, and lost Yuzhang and Poyang counties, and finally couldn't hold on, and wanted to take the jade seal north to join Yuan Shao, Liu Bei expected that Yuan Shu would pass through Xuzhou when he went north, so he asked for his own order to lead a team of men and horses to intercept and kill Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao didn't think much about it for a while, but was fooled by Liu Bei's words, and directly took Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao as generals, and ordered Liu Bei to be the nominal governor, and led 50,000 troops to Xuzhou to intercept and kill Yuan Shu and recapture the jade seal.

Liu Bei got his life, he didn't know how excited he was, he packed up with Zhang Fei, Guan Hai and others overnight, and the next day he hurriedly left Xudu with 50,000 Cao soldiers with Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao and went straight to Xuzhou.

When Liu Bei left the territory of Xudu, Cao Cao suddenly regretted that although Liu Bei had no real power, he should not let Liu Bei leave Xudu like this, so he ordered Xu Chu to lead 500 horsemen to chase after him, wanting to recover Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei is swimming in the sea, never going back, when Xu Chu caught up, Liu Bei was already close to Xuzhou, so he fooled Xu Chu and said: "Xuzhou is already close at hand, and the monarch's life will not be affected outside, this is only to kill Yuan Shu, recapture the treasure and jade seal of the country and dedicate it to the prime minister. ”

Xu Chu was Liu Bei's opponent in terms of scheming, and Cao Cao did not ask him to kill Liu Bei when he came, so he was fooled back to Xu by Liu Bei in such a daze.

Soon, Liu Bei successfully intercepted Yuan Shu, and after killing Yuan, he fooled Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to return to Xudu with the jade seal of the country to report to Cao Cao, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses he brought were stationed in Xuzhou first, protecting the border and the people, and waiting for Cao Cao's order.

In this way, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were also fooled back to Xu by Liu Bei in order to be greedy for the merit of presenting the jade seal, and now it is okay, the general of the main army is not there, and Liu Bei is the nominal governor of the army, so he instantly grasped the power and quickly turned Cao Cao's 50,000 army into his own.

Xu Du, Cao Cao first saw that Xu Chu returned in vain, and then saw that Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao only returned to Xu Du with a single hundred and ten people, and the 50,000 troops were all left in Xuzhou to Liu Bei, so angry that Cao Cao almost killed Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao.

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Liu Bei.

However, it was too late to say anything, and soon news came from Xuzhou that Xuzhou City and Xiapi were successively controlled by Liu Bei, and Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling, also betrayed him and voted for Liu Bei, so Guangling County was also controlled by Liu Bei.

The six counties of Xuzhou, the third of them were removed in an instant, plus the 50,000 army, Cao Cao's loss was really heavy, too miserable.

Cao Cao roared angrily: "Liu Bei thief, lie to me too much, I swear to kill you!" ”

Then he raised 200,000 troops, divided the troops into five routes, and took advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold to kill and go to Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei seized the three counties of Xuzhou and Cao Cao's 50,000 soldiers and horses, he also knew that Cao Cao would not let him go and would definitely raise troops to fight against him, so after plotting with Chen Deng, Lu Zhu and others, he wrote to Yuan Shao for help.

At this time, Dong Cheng took advantage of Cao Cao's attention to Liu Bei, and finally sent the edict out of Xudu, because Yuan Shao and Dong Cheng were on good terms, the edict was directly sent to Yuan Shao.
