Chapter 233: Green Plum Boiled Wine
The two drank three times, and Cao Cao was in high spirits. When he told Liu Bei that when he was fighting in the past, the troops were short of water, so he had a plan and lied that there was a plum in front of him, and the soldiers hoped that Mei would quench their thirst and solve the crisis.
Liu Bei praised again and again, and bluntly said that Cao Cao's Wen Tao Wu is a hero.
At this time, the wind and clouds outside suddenly changed, and lightning flashed and thundered. Cao Cao pinched a green plum, threw it in the wine glass, and sighed with a smile: "Fang is deep this spring, and the dragon takes advantage of the time to change, swallowing clouds and spitting fog." Just as people have the will to cross the world. β
Liu Bei saluted him and echoed: "Prime Minister Gao Zhi. β
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Xuande has been in all directions for a long time, and he will know the heroes of the world." Please say something about it. β
Liu Bei poured himself a glass of wine for Cao Cao, and couldn't guess what Cao Cao's intentions were. As it is today, the situation is clear. Yuan Shao, Guo Yi, Yang Bo, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao are divided into eight parts of the world. But if you can determine the Central Plains, it is only Yang Bo, Guo Yi, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao. Liu Bei is now under the fence, and he can't see a way out, so he can't count.
"Be blessed and be in the court, and the heroes of the world really don't know."
Cao Cao listened to his resignation, laughed, and said, "Even if you don't see him, you can still hear his name." β
Liu Bei thought in his heart, there is such a No. 8 person in the world, how to say it, who to say first, in order to best meet Cao Cao's intentions, and will not arouse suspicion. After another glass of wine, Liu Bei slowly spoke, "And state Guo Zihong, destroy the Huns outside, and level the plague inside." The world is in the heart. Heroes? β
Cao Cao sneered, and sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that Guo Yi wanted to use this method to block his questioning. said: "Guo Zihong is greedy for money and lustful, and he will not last long." has the world's first male soldier, but he is self-contained. What kind of hero is such a child? β
You were beaten and lost your armor, and you let people take your wife. actually has the face to say that people are not heroes, and this cheek is too thick-skinned. Liu Bei had already figured out Cao Cao's intentions in his heart, and this guy was just to suppress him today.
Even so, you might as well use these heroes to put gold on your face. Then he said: "Yuan Shao of Jizhou, there are many generals, and there are three counties, can he be described as a hero?" β
Cao Cao said disdainfully: "Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, and he is fierce and timid, which is not enough. β
"Yongzhou Yang Bo, born in a famous family, has the land of Sanqin Liangzhou, can be described as a hero?"
Cao Cao said indifferently: "Yang Bo picks up people's teeth and wisdom, relying on the shadow of his ancestors, he is not a hero." β
"Xuzhou Lu Bu, can fight well, assassinate Dong meritorious, can be described as a hero?"
"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. At the same time, I also understood Liu Bei's intentions in my heart, and I actually wanted to use him to comment on heroes to raise my value. Cao Cao became more and more sure of his judgment, and said: "The three surnamed domestic slaves, but they are lackeys, what is the way?" β
"There is one person, named Bajun, Megatron Kyushu, Liu Jingsheng, who can be described as a hero?"
"Liu Biao is in name only, not a hero."
"There is a person who is popular and strong, the leader of Jiangdong, and Sun Bofu can be described as a hero?"
"Sun Ce is in the name of his father, not a hero."
"Yizhou Liu Zhang, can he be described as a hero?"
"The dog's ear of the keeper."
"Zhang Lu, how are Gongsun Du and the others?"
"Why should such a busy person be concerned?"
Speaking of which, Cao Cao is left. Liu Bei naturally didn't mention it, but said, "Other than that, I don't know." β
At this point, it's time for the curtain to end. Cao Cao smiled and pointed at Liu Bei, then at himself, and said with a smile: "The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear." β
Just then, a thunderbolt flashed in the sky, and Liu Bei panicked and dropped his chopsticks to the ground. Ashamed said: "The power of a shock, even this." See smiled. β
What a show! Cao Cao sighed in his heart, Liu Bei is really a real hero. Somehow must be found to get rid of him! But when I think of Guan Yu, this person is also ten thousand enemies. Now that Lu Bu must be removed, Guan Yu should be the closest person to Guo Yi.
Cao Cao fought with Guo Yi several times and was defeated repeatedly. Without him, Guo Yi relied on a dragon tail gun, and he could come and go freely in the army, and take the enemy's head like a bag to get something, and this battle could not be fought at all.
If Guan Yu is in charge and can fight with Guo Yi, the situation will naturally be very different.
What's more, Liu Bei is known for his reputation and spreads all over the world. If you kill him at this time, it will be tantamount to cutting yourself off from the world. Although Cao Cao's style of action is eclectic, he does not dare to risk the world's condemnation.
Thinking of this, in order to keep Guan Yu's drive, and in order to protect his reputation as a virtuous person, he couldn't tear his face with Liu Bei.
Pushing the boat down the river, he asked, "The eldest husband is afraid of thunder?" β
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, since Cao Cao asked so, then today can be regarded as surviving. said with a smile: "The saint is thunderous and the wind will change, and he is not afraid?" β
As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of noise outside. It was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who rushed in. The two of them held swords in their hands, and many guards couldn't resist them.
Cao Cao stepped forward to appease him and asked, "Why are you two here?" β
Guan Yu said: "I heard that the prime minister invited his brother to drink, and he came to dance the sword to help him smile." β
Cao Cao laughed and said: "This is not a Hongmen banquet, why do you need Xiangzhuang?" Someone came, took the wine and gave it to Erfan. β
After such a fuss, the drinking party was dispersed. Liu Bei returned to his mansion under the escort of Guan Yu and the others.
Speaking of today's events, Liu Bei had palpitations. bluntly said: "We can't stay here for long, we need to find another way." β
Guan Yu said: "What the eldest brother said is not bad. I don't know where I'm going? β
Liu Bei thought about it and said, "It's better to go north and vote for Yuan Shao." β
Zhang Fei was not happy, and shouted noisily: "Then Yuan Shao's wolf ambition will inevitably bully his brother, what to do with him?" β
Liu Bei reprimanded: "Nonsense! For the sake of the stability of the world, what is this grievance? β
"Yes." Guan Yu and the others didn't say much.
The next day, Cao Cao came to Liu Bei again to discuss with him about the crusade against LΓΌ Bu.
Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to attack Langya County and win the first place for Cao Cao! Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he allocated him 5,000 soldiers and horses and sent him to fight Langya County.
Cao Cao ordered his subordinate generals to attack Donghai County and Pengcheng State.
Back in Chenliu, Guo Jia and others saw that Liu Bei was not there, and hurriedly inquired about the situation, only to learn that Cao Cao had let Liu Bei go!
Guo Jia hurriedly said: "The lord is confused! Liu Bei is a hero in the world, how can he let the tiger return to the mountain? There will be great trouble in the future! β
Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei relies on me to supply grain and grass, how can there be any change?" β
"Swell!" Guo Jia almost scolded angrily, and said loudly: "It's just to take Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and don't take the world's heroes in your eyes!" It's a big loss! You should learn from Guo Zihong at this point, he is cautious, even if the opponent is an ant, he also mobilizes the crowd and goes all out! β
Cao Cao knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly apologized and asked: "How can this matter be reversed?" β
Guo Jia said: "The first order was issued to ask Liu Bei to return. Send troops to pursue again, you can't let him run! If he takes possession of Langya and forms an alliance with Yuan Shao, our army will be in danger. β
Cao Cao hurriedly issued an order according to his words.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei didn't go to Xuzhou at all, and went directly from Taishan County to Qingzhou to Yuan Tan!
But Cao Cao's pursuing troops also quickly caught up, and intercepted Liu Bei's team in Gai County, south of Mount Tai.
The two sides fought fiercely for three days, and each other won and lost.
But this place is the junction of Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Such a bloody battle between them also attracted Yuan Tan and Lu Bu.
Yuan Tan got Liu Bei's letter of help and led the army to help. Lu Bu doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, as long as it's not his own person, he will kill them all.
Quartet, a scuffle.
Liu Bei was rescued by Yuan Tan and fled to Qingzhou with the remnants. Zhang Fei was lost in the war and did not know what to do. Guan Yu was intercepted by Cao Cao's troops, and with Liu Bei's family, he was besieged in Taishan County.
Just when Lu Bu's attention was attracted by Liu Bei, Cao Cao's main force had already reached Xuzhou. Chen Deng, as an internal response, made Lu Bu lose control of Xuzhou overnight, leaving only Tancheng as a lonely city, struggling to support.
Desperate, Lu Bu drank sullen wine in the room.
Lu Lingqi came to persuade, "Dad." Let's get out. β
Lu Bu looked at his hands and smiled miserably, "Daddy is old." I can't stop the soldiers and horses outside. β
Lu Lingqi said angrily: "What are you talking about! Haven't you yet decided the winner with Guo Yi? β
"I lost!" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with unwilling anger, but he was powerless to return to the sky, and sighed: "From the beginning, Dad lost!" He's a Taifu! Taifu! The world is noble. Your father and I are just a pioneer officer. β
"Daddy!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "You go out of the city, don't let Cao Cao find out." β
"Daddy! Where are you going? β
"Go and surrender!"
