Cao Shuo killed Wu Zilan Manmen and arrested him in prison.

Yuzhou Pastoral House.

Liu Bei was lying in the bed, with a moist white cloth on his forehead, and a painful moan from his mouth.

"My brother has been ill for two days, and he really can't go to the banquet." Guan Yu said to a middle-aged man who came to visit: "Please also ask the general to return to Dong Gong,"

"What disease did Xuande Gong have?" The middle-aged man did not leave immediately, but asked Guan Yu.

"What disease my brother has infected, it's your bird business!" Zhang Fei on the side saw that he kept asking, and said with a round of eyes: "If you can't go, you can't go, just ask?" ”

"Third brother, don't be rude!" Guan Yu drank him, and then said to the middle-aged man: "My brother occasionally feels cold, but he can't get up after falling ill." The third brother is reckless, and he is also worried about his brother, please don't blame him for colliding with General Wang! ”

It was the prince who came to see Liu Bei.

He was entrusted by Dong Chengzhi to invite Liu Bei to the Cheqi General's Mansion for a banquet.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was sick at some time.

"Since Xuande Gong is not well, I will retire first!" Wang Zifu arched his hand to Guan Yu, glanced at Zhang Fei, and turned to leave.

Seeing the prince go away, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei's side.

Zhang Fei said: "Brother, the prince is gone. ”

"Close the door, and if anyone comes to visit, they will only say that I am sick." Liu Bei instructed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The two of them responded, and Zhang Fei went outside the door and ordered the guard.

Back in the room, Zhang Fei said: "Dong Cheng just invited his brother to have a meal, and he didn't want to go, so he shirked it, why do you need to pretend to be sick?" ”

"Why do you two think Dong Cheng invited me to the banquet?" Liu Bei asked.

"Could it be that they want to kill my brother?" Guan Yu asked.

"What are they doing to me?" Liu Bei said: "They are trying to harm Cao Cao!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned and glanced at each other.

Zhang Fei asked, "How does my brother know?" ”

"What did Cao Zirong do when he returned to Xudu?" Liu Bei said: "Before he entered the city, he killed people on a large scale, and then led his troops to break into the home of Wu Zilan, the general of Zhaoxin, and killed Wu Zilan all over the world. Now Wu Zilan has been captured by him, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. ”

"So what? Could it be that it is related to Dong Cheng and others? Guan Yu asked.

"Who is Dong Cheng?" Liu Bei said: "He was the general of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu back then, and later he was promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry, and married his daughter to His Majesty as the imperial concubine." ”

"We all know this, but it is too far-fetched to say that he and Wu Zilan are in collusion." Guan Yu said: "Dong Cheng is in Xudu, although he is not as powerful as Cao Cao, who dares to provoke him in Xudu?" ”

"Cao Cao doesn't want to mess with him." Liu Bei said: "Wu Zilan is just a Zhaoxin general, can he do this time alone?" He dares to be the enemy of the Cao family alone? ”

"Brother means ......," Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked almost at the same time.

"Cao Zirong killed people when he entered the city, and then Dong Cheng set up a banquet to feast guests." Liu Bei said: "Do you think today's banquet is delicious? ”

"Could it be that Dong Cheng wants to contact everyone and solve Cao Cao?" Guan Yu asked suddenly.

"I can't say!" Liu Bei said: "Even if this banquet is not to deal with Cao Cao, I can't go." In order to go to a banquet, if they are really dragged into the water, you and my brother's head will not be safe. ”

"Brother often said that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, since Dong Cheng and others have the intention to kill, why don't they conspire with him to do great things?" Zhang Fei said: "If my brother is really willing, I am willing to be a pioneer ......"

"To kill Cao Cao, you have to have the ability to do it." Liu Bei said: "The two virtuous brothers don't pay attention to this matter, I expect that Dong Cheng and they will not dare to do it, if they go today, even if there is no incident, I will be an accomplice in the future." It's better to refuse, at least you can settle down. ”

"Brother doesn't plan to deal with Cao Cao, but Cao Zirong is aggressive." Guan Yu said: "A few days ago, how much loss did we suffer at his hands? ”

"I can't blame anyone else." Liu Bei said: "Cao Zirong is as shrewd as a ghost, I don't know why he is eyeing me." The more this time, the more reckless it is. Wouldn't it be better not to come forward no matter what good things come across, and to wash our brothers cleanly? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded in unison.

Liu Bei rejected Dong Cheng's invitation.

The front yard of the General's Palace.

Dong Cheng, who greeted the guests, waited for the prince's suit.

"Liu Xuande didn't come?" Seeing that Wang Zifu came alone, Dong Cheng asked.

"He's sick." Wang Zifu said: "I haven't inquired about what it is, Zhang Fei is shouting on the side, in my opinion, he is pretending to be sick." ”

"After the banquet, you accompany me to visit him." Dong Cheng said: "Liu Xuande is a capable person, if you can drag him along, the possibility of success is much greater." ”

"Liu Xuande is just a Yuzhou pastor, and he has no soldiers and no power in his hands." Wang Zifu said: "Cao Cao is very wary of him, how can Dong Gong take a fancy to him?" ”

"If he is incompetent, how can he get Xuzhou from Tao Qian back then?" Dong Cheng said: "The weaver and the peddler, but now he has become a pastor in Yuzhou, do you think Liu Xuande has some skills?" ”

"It is said that he is still a royal prince." Wang Zifu said: "It's just that there is no way to verify the truth or falsehood. ”

"Imperial Princess!" Dong Cheng said with a smile: "There are countless descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, and many descendants have no way to reward them, and now they are commoners. It is also somewhat possible that Liu Xuande is the emperor's family, but there are too many surnames Liu in the world, as long as the surname is Liu, is it possible that he will be the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan? ”

"What do you mean by Dong Gong......" Prince Fu asked in amazement.

"He said yes, yes." Dong Cheng said: "Acknowledging that he is the imperial prince is not harmful to us, but it is still beneficial." Xu Du Cao's family, if there is an imperial prince who comes to check and balance......"

"Could it be that Dong Gong wants to support Liu Xuande?" The prince was even more stunned.

"Killing Cao Cao must always have a name." Dong Cheng said: "It's too difficult for us to kill him, and it's too difficult to find a justifiable reason. If Liu Xuande is involved, it will be much simpler. ”

"Dong Gong is right." Wang Zifu said: "Liu Xuande has the identity of an imperial prince, and he is bound to be loyal to the Han family......"

"There is no hope for loyalty." Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Using his name to declare Cao Cao as a **** will make it easier to convince the world." ”

"Dong Gong really thinks about Zhou Xiang." Wang Zifu asked, "Why don't you ......?"

"He didn't come, just because he didn't want to wade into troubled waters." Dong Cheng said: "Don't say anything at the banquet later, just drink and talk, and when the banquet is over, you and I will visit Liu Xuande." ”

"Dong Gong is dedicated to the country and the people, I admire him very much." Wang Zifu said to Dong Cheng: "As long as there is a place that can be used, I will definitely die!" ”
