Chapter 34: Mistakes

"Your Majesty, how sure do you think Bao Xin is going to attack Bishui Pass this time?"

In Liu Bian's big tent, Huang Zhong looked at Liu Biao and asked.

"The odds aren't good." Liu Wei didn't even think about opening his mouth to reply, with Bao Xin's men, it was impossible to take Bishui Pass so easily.

"In that case, why did you send him to war, Your Majesty?" Huang Zhong was a little puzzled.

"Although the coalition is formed now, but it has a ghost in his heart, Bao Xin took the initiative to ask for his life, how can I not obey." Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and said.

Although it is said that Bao Xin can't attack Bishui Pass, he can also explore the truth and reality, and he can also use it to deter everyone when the time comes.

"Han Sheng, this Kwantung prince, who do you think is the most outstanding?" Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

Liu Wei was interested and wanted to see what Huang Zhong thought of these people.

"On the family lineage, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, which should not be underestimated."

"Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, and he can't be ignored."

After listening to Huang Zhong's evaluation, Liu Wei nodded, which was a more pertinent answer.

"It's just these two, isn't there anyone else?" Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and said.

"Cao Cao." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Wei and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the danger to this person is higher than everyone else, and if Your Majesty can't win his heart, he should get rid of him as soon as possible."

Liu Wei smiled and didn't answer when he heard this, he also thought about getting rid of Cao Cao.

But Liu Wei knew that he couldn't yet, and he didn't have any excuse to move Cao Cao.

If it is to rule the world, maybe the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but now it is a troubled time.

Since Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo by himself, his reputation in the eyes of everyone is very high, if he dares to move Cao Cao at this time.

Then the result will be that he will take the lead in tearing the curtain of the Han emperor, who has no real name.

Moreover, since Chen Liu, what Cao Cao has done can be said to be leaky, not to mention the troubled times, even if he can't find any excuse for ruling the world.

However, Liu Wei is clear that this also more and more reflects Cao Cao's talent.

"Han Sheng, have you ever heard that Xu Shao once said a word to Cao Cao, saying that he is a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times."

Liu Bian was naturally relieved of Huang Zhong, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent report from the Bishui Pass."

Not long after Liu Wei's words fell, a soldier stepped forward to report.

"Let him in." Liu Wei said immediately.

Although Cao Cao is a potential big threat, Liu Wei also knows that it is imperative to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"Minister, Cao Cao has seen Your Majesty." Cao Cao saluted and said after entering the big tent.

"No need to be polite, Mengde, how is the war?" Liu Wei raised his hand and helped him up.

"Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to call the battle under the Bishui Pass, Fan Chou went out of the pass to meet the battle, defeated Bao Xin, and killed his brother Bao Zhong, and now Bao Xin led the remnants of the army back to the big tent." Cao Cao replied.

Liu Wei was also taken aback, Bao Xin was defeated so quickly, and then frowned and said, "Raise the account and gather everyone." ”

"Yes." Cao Cao answered and turned to leave.

When the news of Bao Xin's defeat reached the ears of the princes, many people, not only did not feel displeased, but gloated.

"Bao Xin, it's really stupid, he took the initiative to ask for his life to fight, and now he has lost his soldiers and horses, not to mention, even his younger brother died under the Bishui Pass, which is unreachable." Wang Kuang was in his big tent, and said with a smile to the next Wu.

"At the beginning, Ben Taishou said that he needed to set up an alliance leader, but His Majesty had to be arbitrary, and now that he has been defeated, I want to see what else he has to say." Wang Kuang sneered and said.

"My lord, Your Majesty has ordered everyone to discuss matters in the main account."

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Wang Kuang immediately snorted coldly and went towards the main account.

When Liu Wei came to the big tent, everyone also came to the big tent one after another.

Bao Xin stood in the tent, his unfaded armor still stained with red blood.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and has failed to capture the checkpoint." After seeing Liu Wei coming, Bao Xin immediately pleaded guilty.

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and what is the crime." Liu Wei motioned for Bao Xin to get up and comforted him.

"When I asked everyone, only Qing was willing to fight, and I was already pleased.

After speaking, Liu Wei's gaze glanced at everyone.

"Since you are all willing to watch from the wall, then tomorrow I will personally lead the army to capture Bishui Pass." Liu Wei looked at everyone and said.

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Zhang Fei next to Liu Bei wanted to go out to fight, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, now there are 100,000 troops in Bishui Pass, and there are Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Dong Zhuo's henchmen to guard it, if Your Majesty goes in person, there will be a mistake, and the ministers can't afford it."

"Could it be that we can still trap Dong Zhuo to death by stationing here?" Liu Wei glanced at everyone and said.

Since they can't be relied on, then they can only rely on themselves.

"Needless to say, this matter is so decided, rest tonight, and tomorrow I will collect and capture Bishui Pass." Liu Wei looked at everyone and said.

And when they had finished their deliberations, they left the tent.

"Big brother? Why didn't you let me go to war just now? After the deliberations left, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in confusion and asked.

"Yide, don't be impulsive, do you know why Your Majesty is like this?" Liu Bei did not answer Zhang Fei, but asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, that group of princes is unwilling to go to war, and Your Majesty has no choice but to do so?"

Liu Bei nodded, "This is just one of them, although everyone retains their strength and is reluctant to fight, but if His Majesty gives an order, everyone will not dare to disobey." ”

"Then why didn't Your Majesty make an order?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Because Your Majesty wants them to take the initiative to fight, now that the alliance has been formed, if it is tomorrow's battle, Your Majesty will personally go out, but the princes will not be spurned."

"Therefore, Your Majesty's move is more effective than opening your mouth, and if you win, Your Majesty's prestige will inevitably spread throughout the world, and if you lose, the princes will not be able to escape the blame." Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and opened his mouth to analyze.

"If it is based on what the eldest brother said, then although our majesty is young, he is up-and-coming." After listening to Liu Bei's analysis, Guan Yu also spoke.

"Hmm." Liu Bei also nodded in agreement, "That's why I stopped Yide." ”

"It seems that our majesty is not simple." Also returning to the big tent, Sun Jian also spoke to everyone.

"Tomorrow's battle, we will be inevitable." Sun Jian looked at everyone and smiled.

Sun Jian originally wanted to ask for his life to fight, but he also knew that Bishui Pass could not be won by one person, and Liu Wei did this, so he used himself as a bet to force everyone to send troops.

"My lord, what do you think of today's events?" After Cao Cao returned to the big tent, a civil and military officer asked.

Cao Cao listened but didn't answer, his eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lord, do you have something on your mind?" When Cao Ren saw it, he stepped forward and asked.

was called by Cao Ren, and Cao Cao retracted his thoughts.

"Do you know what I heard outside the tent when I went to His Majesty's big tent today to report Bao Xin's defeat?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and said.

Cao Ren was also stunned, then shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know." ”

"I went to His Majesty's tent today, and I heard that His Majesty once commented on me with Xu Shao's words, saying that I am a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor in troubled times."

"Is that so?" Cao Ren was also shocked, he didn't know about it.

"That's right, Xu Shao's words are true, but few people know about it."

"If few people know, why does Your Majesty know?" Cao Ren frowned.

Cao Cao shook his head, "Since the Yellow Turban, chaos has appeared, and now this world is a chaotic era, but Your Majesty looks at me with Xu Shao's words, which shows that Your Majesty has long been suspicious of me." ”

"What does the lord mean that His Majesty has determined that the lord guild has become a traitor in troubled times?"

"If so, isn't your lord's eloquence..."

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, since Your Majesty already has suspicions, then I, Cao Mengde, will create a great cause with my own hands."

Cao Cao's gaze gradually became firm, since I am in troubled times, what if I, Cao Mengde, am a traitor?

Liu Wei didn't know that Cao Cao listened to his words, and under Cao Cao's suspicious character, he personally pushed him in another direction, to the direction he was most worried about.
