Chapter 3 The traitorous male Cao Cao
Yuzhou Xuchang Che Cavalry General's Mansion.
Cao Cao sat on the head, a leather map was spread on the case, and the next person, white and clear, with an elegant complexion, was Xun Yu.
Cao Cao kept his eyes off the map, his fingers kept wandering on the map, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what vision does Liu Bei have?" ”
"This" Xun Yu was dumbfounded, and said, "There is no vision. ”
Cao Cao seemed to notice something, his fingers suddenly stopped, he looked up at Xun Yu, Xun Yu also saw Cao Cao, the moment the two looked at each other, Xun Yu's eyes had a trace of wandering.
Hehe Cao Cao let out a cruel smile, the smile was very weird, stood up, stretched, came to Xun Yu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Very good!" Very good! ”
Xun Yu's expression was slightly unnatural, silent, and after a pause, Cao Cao said: "At the end of today's hour, I cook wine with Xuande Qingmei, debate the heroes of the world, and Xuande is all over the world. Later, when Xuande said that there were no more heroes in the world, I immediately tried to say, "The heroes of the world are only the kings and Cao'er", if the text can know Xuande? ”
Xun Yu was dumb and said, "I don't know." ”
Cao Cao sneered, stared at Xun Yu intently, and said, "At this time, thunder fell from the sky, and it scared him to the ground. With that, there was another burst of laughter.
Xun Yu cooperated with Cao Cao, so he had to smile bitterly, thinking of today's conversation with Liu Qiang, Xun Yu felt uncomfortable, even if Cao Cao said it at this time, Xun Yu couldn't squeeze out a smile.
Cao Cao saw Xun Yu's unnaturalness, and asked Xun Yu instead: "I don't know how Wen Ruo evaluates this?" ”
Xun Yu bowed and asked, "I don't know if the general wants to hear the truth or?"
Cao Cao didn't think twice and said, "Of course it's the truth. ”
Xun Yu said: "The general is just like a rising dragon, jumping on the clouds, looking at the world, pointing out the country, and daring to act." Liu Bei is just like a hidden dragon, fledgling, sending people under the fence, cautious and meticulous, wise and foolish. According to a certain opinion, Shenglong has great ambitions and helps the world; The hidden dragon hides a strategy and can achieve great things. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he seemed to be displeased, but he still smiled and said, "If Wen Ruodong looks at the fire, I might as well do it." ”
Xun Yu hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare, it's getting late today, so I'll retire here." ”
Cao Cao smiled, stroked his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”
As soon as Xun Yu left, Cao Cao waved his hand to beckon the attendant, and whispered so, and the attendant nodded in understanding, and then turned to leave.
In the early morning of the next day, the palace was in session.
The first person is thin, dressed in brocade, with a jade belt around his waist, young but with a slumped body, his eyes reveal a faint fear, although he is ninety-five, but there is no majesty at all.
The next person, seven feet long, with thin eyes and long beard, has a short but majestic appearance, and his eyes reveal a coldness, and his body exudes a heroic aura, which makes people daunted.
Although Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle, he is listed among the hundred officials, and he is still submissive, without saying a word, and is very low-key.
At this time, the news of Yuan Shao's destruction of Gongsun Zan has spread far and wide, and in this Xu Capital City, the feet of the Son of Heaven are even more widespread, and the north is established, and Yuan Shao's next target must be Cao Cao.
Although the hall was quiet, people's hearts were already boiling, and undercurrents had begun to surge under the calm surface of the lake.
Xun Yu spoke first: "Your Majesty." The general Yuan Shao annihilated Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, seized the land of the seven counties of Youzhou, and since then has the land of Hebei, Qing, Youzhou, and the four counties, with hundreds of thousands of armor, countless grains and grasses, and the soldiers are flourishing, pointing directly at Yanzhou. ”
Xun Yu's words were like a signal, which blew up the entire temple, all the civil and military people, you said, I said, like a sparrow, chirping, the people who called were upset.
Liu Bei secretly observed everyone's expressions, and suddenly found that Cao Cao was also observing everyone's reactions, this person was really old and spicy, worthy of Cao Cao, Liu Bei secretly admired.
Although Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was cowardly, Liu Bei noticed a strange smile in his eyes, and his uncle Dong Cheng took this feeling to the extreme, and Liu Bei secretly despised it.
From the edict to the news of Yuan Shao, they are all working hard, and what is the difference between getting rid of Cao Cao with the power of Yuan Shao and getting rid of the eunuchs with the help of Dong Zhuo, if Yuan Shao wins, can they really take power? It's ridiculous.
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei suddenly felt that the righteousness of his uncle was actually his own selfish interests, he was originally a general of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, because his daughter married the emperor, and since then he has soared into the sky.
When Emperor Han Xian returned to the east, Dong Cheng used his identity as his uncle to contact many princes to come to greet him, wanting to use Emperor Han Xian's fragrant bun to become a minister of the government and the opposition, in other words, he also wanted to become Dong Zhuo.
On the way back to the east of Emperor Han Xian, this person had many contradictions with the warlords who escorted Emperor Han Xian to the east, and tried every means to get rid of him as soon as possible, for what? Isn't it to become the only hero who escorted Emperor Han Xian to the east, and then enjoy the great merit alone.
Liu Bei began to wonder at this time, who came up with the idea of the edict? Is it that cowardly Liu Xie? Or is it Dong Cheng's instigation? Is it a piece of loyalty? Or is it for personal gain? If the edict is successful, the biggest benefit is Liu Xie on the surface, but in fact it is Dong Cheng.
At this time, Cao Cao didn't say a word, not because he was afraid of Yuan Shao, but because he tested people's hearts, just like Xu Tian hunted to test whether the ministers were loyal to the Han family or loyal to themselves, this test let Cao Cao know that although the various officials in the palace were obedient to him on the surface, their hearts were still wavering.
Yuan Shao cleaned up Gongsun Zhan, then it is bound to attract more attention from Cao Cao, so I am afraid that his useless appearance as a hero should fade out of Cao Cao's perspective, this may be an opportunity.
Hahaha
Hahahaha
Cao Cao laughed wildly, this laugh suppressed all the ministers present, and all eyes were suddenly focused on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao still laughed wildly.
Liu Bei was also surprised, what is this Cao Cao going to do!?
Uncle Dong Cheng stepped forward and said sharply: "Why does General Cao laugh so much? ”
Cao Cao almost couldn't breathe with laughter, calmed down, and said: "I originally thought that the Yuan family, the fourth world and the third duke, all the heroes, but now I look at it, they are all wine bags and rice bags."
Huainan Yuan Shu took the lead in claiming the emperor, risking the disapproval of the world, which is really stupid and ridiculous; His brother Yuan Shao, although he sits in the land of Sizhou, actually aimed at today's saints, and he is even worse than pigs and dogs, and he is rebellious;
Isn't it hilarious that the two brothers are so hilarious? ”
Liu Bei really couldn't stand Cao Cao pretending like this. Forced, I was scared to death in my heart, and I had to pretend to be a cow. Force. The coaxing look, just one glance, made Liu Bei want to gag.
Break the jar and break it, whoever smashes it to death counts!
Liu Bei mustered up his courage, got up and walked into the hall, and said: "What Cao Gong said is extremely true, Yuan Shu maniac called the emperor and gave up, Yuan Shao actually commanded Xu Du, so rebellious, he really wanted to hit five thunders in the sky, so that he could not die well!"
But Yuan Shao sits on the land of Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states, the money and grain are taxed, inexhaustible, and there are many soldiers, horses, and ordnance, and the princes of the world are afraid that it is difficult to reach, but they are fierce and timid, they are indecisive, they do big things and cherish their lives, and they forget their lives when they see small profits, so how can such a person be Cao Gong's opponent. ”
Liu Bei's words shocked the audience even more, and the ministers in the palace, who had no foresight, expressed their surprise, one of them couldn't believe that Cao Cao could defeat Yuan Shao; Second, he couldn't believe that Uncle Huang actually spoke for Cao Cao.
And Xun Yu and Cao Cao, who have foresight, were even more shocked by Liu Bei's words, especially Cao Cao, who just debated the heroes of the world with Liu Bei's green plum yesterday, and today interpreted Cao Cao's theory with Cao Cao's words.
Liu Xie and Dong Cheng showed a hint of displeasure, is this Liu Bei helping the emperor or Cao Cao?
Cao Cao let out a cruel laugh and said: "Xuande is worthy of being battle-hardened and experienced, and he can tell Yuan Shao's pros and cons in just one word, and he admires it to the fullest. ”
Liu Bei showed a sinister smile and said: "However, Yuan Shao is superior to inferior at this time, just like a paper tiger, but with a mouth full of steel teeth, with Cao Gong's wisdom, I am afraid that he already has a good plan to deal with Yuan Shao, it is better to say, with the heart of the ministers." ”
Cao Cao's laughter stopped abruptly, at this time he still didn't have any good ideas, he studied the map for a long time last night, but he didn't have a clue, how could he say any good ideas at this time.
Liu Bei coaxed together, the ministers followed suit, and Dong Cheng saw the change of momentum, so he also coaxed.
"What Xuande said is very true, Cao Gong is like a god with soldiers, Lu Bu is so brave and still defeated by Cao Gong, not to mention Yuan Shaohu. I also hope that Cao Gong will not hesitate to give advice, so that I can learn a thing or two. Dong Chengyan said.
Everyone was waiting for Cao Cao's high opinion, but Cao Cao laughed wildly, and then said: "Those who know me, Xuande also." The magic strategy is already in my heart, and I only need to fight to defeat Yuan Shao, and everyone can rest assured. But don't divulge the trick, you will know it in wartime. ”
Depend on! This Cao Cao is really treacherous and alert, and the evaluation of Cao Cao by later generations is simply divine, Liu Bei's admired five-body throw, originally wanted to put Cao Cao in the army, but he never thought that he would use it to appease everyone.
Xun Yu glanced at Liu Bei on the side, and secretly exclaimed, this Liu Bei no longer seemed to be the Liu Bei he used to be, he didn't know that Liu Bei at this time was already a body, but his soul was a promising young man in the 21st century.
Cao Cao reluctantly dealt with the current situation, and instead glanced at Liu Bei viciously, the reason why he dared to blatantly talk about heroes is because of self-confidence, blind self-confidence, self-confidence is incomprehensible, even if he admits that Liu Bei is a hero, he does not take him seriously, although you Liu Xuande is a hero, but it is not my opponent Cao Mengde at all!
Liu Bei saw the killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, impulse is really the devil! It seems that you still have to keep a low profile, after all, low profile is the best. Forced to show off.
