Chapter 68: Heroes of the World
The green plum is indeed ripe!
April is the rainy season.
What is the rainy season?
It is the season when the green plums are ripe, and it is also the beginning of the rainy season.
When Zhuge Liang was thinking in Longzhong, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, cooked a jar of green plum wine.
Qingmei boiled wine, but there were only two wine tasters: Sikong Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang.
"The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!"
Cao Cao's words were like a thunderbolt, and at this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, so frightened that Liu Bei couldn't even hold the chopsticks in his hand.
Liu Bei was really frightened.
I still remember that night in Peicheng, a young outsider said: "Who is the opponent of the heroes in the world, Cao Liu!" ”
How similar is Cao Cao's words at this time?
What made Liu Bei a little scared was that Cao Cao had found something?
"The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!"
How heroic does that sound?
However, this sentence is also murderous.
In the whole world, only you Liu Bei can compete with Cao Cao, do you kneel and sing about conquest, or do you die and don't surrender?
In the pavilion, although there was no knife and axe hand buried, Liu Bei instantly thought of the result.
After the thunder, the torrential rain came in time.
Fortunately, Xun Yu happened to come over at this time and sent two pieces of news, which could be regarded as relieving Liu Bei.
Compared with those two news, Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei, the "opponent", could be dealt with one step later. After all, Liu Bei is now sitting in Xuchang, when do you want to knead him, doesn't it depend on his Boss Cao's mood?
……
Liu Bei returned to the inn in shock, but he was on pins and needles.
He had a ghost in his heart, so he was frightened by Cao Cao's words.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he was forced to follow Cao Cao Dao Xuchang "as an official", the first time the court meeting, he was posthumously regarded as the emperor's uncle, and was named the left general, Yicheng Pavilion Marquis, which was completely unexpected by Liu Bei, almost roasted him on the fire.
The traitor Cao Cao is just a commonplace, but the "captive" Liu Bei has become the emperor's uncle today, what do you make Cao Cao think?
The meaning of the young emperor, Liu Bei fully understood, this was nothing more than to introduce him Liu Bei as foreign aid, so that Cao Cao could throw himself into a rat trap.
However, if you want foreign aid, you have to consider whether the situation of foreign aid is not.
He Liu Bei now has neither soldiers nor horses, nor a territory, just an empty shelf Uncle Liu Huang, will Cao Cao be jealous?
Isn't this an excuse for Cao Cao to prepare an excuse to kill him Liu Bei?
Fortunately, Cao Cao really didn't think that he Liu Bei had anything to be afraid of.
After months of worry, Uncle Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The good times didn't last long, and after the New Year's Day court meeting, Liu Bei was scared by the Son of Heaven again.
After the New Year's Day meeting, it is time to worship the ancestors. As the current imperial uncle, Liu Bei is naturally qualified to participate in the royal family ancestor worship.
However, in the ancestral mourning hall, the young Son of Heaven actually wrote a secret edict in blood, contacting the "people with lofty ideals" in the court, or raising troops to crusade against Cao Cao, or secretly assassinating Cao Cao. In front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors and ancestors, Uncle Liu Huang had to sign the secret edict.
In Liu Bei's view, the Son of Heaven is running wild on the road of death.
Xuchang, Liu Bei also stayed for a few months, from his point of view, although Cao Cao dominated the dynasty and acted arbitrarily, he did not trespass in the end, and he was also very respectful to the Son of Heaven, and he never shortened the use of the palace. Cao Cao may have the intention of usurping the Han, but it is not obvious at this time. But these changes of the Son of Heaven, once Cao Cao discovers them, do you think Cao Cao will go against the grain?
At that time, it will be the young man who will suffer!
By the way, these "loyal ministers" who signed the blood book will inevitably be affected.
Because of the secret edict, Uncle Liu Huang reminded him to hang his courage for several months. In this Xuchang City, he is even more cautious, walking on thin ice, and it is best that the entire people of Xuchang forget the existence of his Uncle Liu Huang.
However, today, Cao Cao's green plum boiled wine, and the sentence "The heroes of the world are the only ones who make you and your ears!" Liu Bei felt that he couldn't stay in Xuchang City any longer; Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be affected by the young Son of Heaven's thoughts.
……
Leaning slightly, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun returned from drinking in the city wine shop, looking at the eldest brother who was sitting on pins and needles, Guan Yu was surprised: "Big brother, what's wrong, but what happened?" ”
Liu Bei did not tell Guan Zhang Zhao about the secret edict of the Son of Heaven.
Even the copy of the secret edict that he collected closely, Guan Zhang Zhao didn't know.
God knows, you know and I know, and when the time comes, it will definitely be known to the whole world.
Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, Liu Bei doesn't want to die in this muddy water in Xuchang.
However, in the current situation, life and death brothers face each other, Liu Bei feels that there is no need to hide it anymore.
"The Son of Heaven granted me a secret edict!" Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei: "That feeling is so wow!" ”
"At the beginning of Peicheng, there was a little white face named Zhuge Kongming, didn't he say that when the eldest brother entered Xuchang, he first had to obtain the edict of the Son of Heaven, and then the secret edict of the Son of Heaven. With these two things, the big brother can go to the whole world. ”
"Now, the eldest brother has been named the emperor's uncle by the Son of Heaven, and he has a secret edict, which just confirms what the little white face said!"
Zhang Fei was about to laugh, but was scolded by Guan Yu: "Third brother, silence in case the wall has ears!" ”
Then, Guan Yu looked at his eldest brother again, and said curiously: "This is the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, but what's wrong?" ”
Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Call on the princes of the world to be king, are you right?" ”
"What's more, today, Cao Cao's green plum cooking wine, only me and him are the two of us, tasting the heroes of the world. Cao Cao said, 'The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear', you listen, how can this make me feel at ease? ”
……
"The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!"
"Hahaha, my eldest brother is naturally a hero in the world, so Cao Cao?"
When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyebrows fluttered. Cao Cao is a traitor at any time, but he said that there are only two heroes in this world, one is him Cao Cao, and the other is the eldest brother Liu Bei, how can this not make the joy of being a brother inspire?
"Yide, that's not a good thing!" Zhao Yun shouted.
Zhang Fei was stunned, and Guan Yu also looked at Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Cao Cao has become wary of the lord, or murderous!" ”
"Yun Chang, Yide, you two and just imagine, only you and Cao Cao are the only ones left in the world who can be rivals, will you kill them quickly?"
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were shocked.
Warriors may still have the loneliness of "invincible heroes in the world", Cao Cao, as a prince and a hero, he has no such thoughts. In Cao Cao's case, his rivals would either kneel and sing conquest to him, or they would have a good morning journey.
"Since Cao Cao has murderous intentions towards his eldest brother, how can this be good?" Zhang Fei asked a little panicked.
If it is really outside the city, even in the face of Cao Cao's 100,000 army, Zhang Fei will not be afraid. Now in this Xuchang City, no matter how fierce he Zhang Fei is, it will be a tiger falling in Pingyang, and three or five hundred armor soldiers can surround and kill him.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei said categorically: "For today's plan, the only way to escape from this Xuchang City is to talk about it first!" ”
Liu Bei didn't want to stay in Xuchang City for a long time.
The Son of Heaven is too demonic, he Liu Bei is the current emperor's uncle, and he can feel it at all times, and his neck is on the edge of the blade.
Or escape from Xuchang, it is the best choice!
However, how difficult is it to escape from Xuchang?
He Liu Bei, as well as Zhang Zhao and the others, couldn't get out of the city at all, let alone break in.
Do you really think those strong bows and crossbows on the city wall are decorations?
In his troubles, Liu Bei thought of the two news that Xun Yu said when Qingmei was cooking wine
"This might be put to good use!"
In an instant, Liu Bei thought of a way to escape from Xuchang.
