The banquet that Cao Cao prepared for Liu Bei was naturally very good, which also made Zhao Fei have a great appetite and eat a lot. Of course, the banquet will not be short of wine, but the protagonists of this banquet are Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and Zhao Fei is just playing soy sauce here.

The whole process of the banquet is very natural, and it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy. After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Liu Bei got up and said goodbye: "I can't prepare enough to drink, so I will retire first, and I hope that the prime minister and the Taiwei will not blame." ”

"Hehehe." Cao Cao Lang smiled, and then said: "Xuande doesn't need to be so polite, since he can't drink too much, then let's rest." ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Bei said goodbye to Cao Cao and Zhao Fei one after another, and then he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to leave. And after the three of them left the banquet hall one after another, Zhao Fei's originally somewhat hazy eyes instantly became clear.

Zhao Fei looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "This Liu Bei got what he wanted, but as everyone knows, Liu Bei is just a chess piece in Meng De's chessboard." I'm looking forward to it now, how many surprises this Liu Bei can bring. ”

Cao Cao naturally knew what Zhao Fei was talking about, so he waved his hand and said, "Now there are indeed some people in the court who are not honest, and I will take this opportunity to eliminate these people one by one." Although I, Cao Cao, don't want to be a rebel and thief, I also don't want anyone to plot against me in secret. ”

Zhao Fei agrees with this. Although Cao Cao's reputation in later generations was not good, he did not usurp the throne in a certain dynasty. Cao Cao is a powerful minister, not a chaotic thief.

But on the other hand, Liu Bei was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he never thought that he was the first emperor among the Three Kingdoms. Of course, Yuan Shu's short-lived emperor didn't count, after all, he was destroyed by Cao Cao not long after he became emperor.

At the time of the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao could be said to be the most capable of being the emperor. He dominates the north and is famous. But Rao is like this, Cao Cao still has no intention of becoming emperor. For this, everyone is extremely puzzled.

However, at this time, Zhao Fei somewhat understood Cao Cao, but in fact, some things were done as a last resort. It is said that Cao Cao is a traitor, but Zhao Fei feels that Cao Cao is the most unpretentious person.

When a person stands in a position, he has to think about more than just representing himself. Since Cao Cao's debut, most of what he has done has been forced out by others. is like Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he was also forced to become the emperor back then.

From the earliest crusade against Dong Zhuo, to the current dominance of two states. The road taken by Cao Cao was more arduous than anyone else's. At first, Cao Cao was just surviving in the cracks. In order to survive, he can only destroy enemies that are stronger than himself.

In the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao almost wiped out his entire army. And it was precisely because of that time that Cao Cao saw the ugly faces of all the princes. And it was because of their selfish performance that Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, and even his life was almost lost on the road of crusading against Dong Zhuo.

But what he did, in the eyes of those selfish princes, was just a joke for confession and laughter. It was at that time that Cao Cao realized that wholehearted dedication may not necessarily lead to good results, and if you want to survive in this troubled world, people still have to be selfish.

People can be selfish in order to live better in this troubled world. Of course, Cao Cao is not good at hiding himself, he is not good at hiding his selfishness. Compared with this, Liu Bei did a very good job.

Liu Bei is full of benevolence and morality, but he is more selfish than anyone else. In order to achieve his own goals, Liu Bei can do anything by any means. And after doing these things, Liu Bei can still find the perfect words to explain all his evil deeds.

Take Liu Bei to capture Xuzhou, and then kill Che Zhou's family, you can see what kind of person Liu Bei is. However, as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the defeat is the king, Liu Bei is the emperor of Shu Han, and his various crimes will naturally be rewarded by someone.

However, these are not what Zhao Fei cares about the most, what makes Zhao Fei most ashamed of Liu Bei is when Liu Bei is in Xinye. At that time, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei abandoned the city and fled, and he accompanied thousands of Xinye people.

For this point, many people think that this is Liu Bei's righteousness. But if you really think about it, Liu Bei's true purpose is very obvious.

To put it simply, the poor people are very homesick. They have food and shelter in Xinye, why do they have to drag their families and flee away. After all, in the troubled times of frequent wars, it is definitely difficult to have a place to settle down.

Therefore, in Zhao Fei's view, the reason why Liu Bei is like this is to confuse the public. If Liu Bei just fled alone, it would be absolutely difficult for him to escape the pursuit of Cao Jun. After all, Liu Bei didn't have many soldiers at that time, and Cao Jun would definitely not stop if he didn't kill himself.

But if you muddy the water of this jar, it is definitely suitable for you to escape. Moreover, it is a two-bird solution. If Cao Jun wantonly killed the fleeing people, Liu Bei could also discredit Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei really thought about the people, he could have let the people of Xinye abandon the city and surrender, and Cao Jun would definitely not harm the people who abandoned the city and surrendered. Because, if such a reputation spreads, who else in the world would dare to surrender to Cao Cao.

"Pengju, Pengju!" Seeing that he had just finished speaking, Zhao Fei was stunned again, and Cao Cao couldn't help but shout.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Fei came back to his senses. Seeing Cao Cao looking at him impatiently, Zhao Fei showed a very embarrassed smile.

"Since this Liu Bei came to Xuchang, Pengju, you have been smuggling for a long time, what is in your heart, can't you tell me?" Cao Cao asked with the same expression. It could be seen from his eyes that Cao Cao was somewhat worried at this time.

Of course, it is no wonder that Cao Cao is like this, after all, he has known Zhao Fei for so long, and it is the first time he has seen Zhao Fei behave like this. Although the relationship between the two is that of a monarch and a minister, neither of them restrains each other with a monarch or a minister.

Seeing Cao Cao so worried about himself, Zhao Fei was naturally very pleased. However, Zhao Fei could only smile bitterly and said, "Meng De doesn't need to worry too much, I'm just thinking about Liu Bei." After all, in my opinion, Liu Bei can't stay. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was naturally very moved. The reason why Zhao Fei is like this is for his own country. However, in Cao Cao's heart, he had no intention of killing Liu Bei. After all, in his heart, the world is a huge chessboard, and he is a chess player. If you don't have an opponent who is on par with you, no matter how big the chessboard is, what is the interest? And this Liu Bei is his best gambler. Only when Liu Bei is defeated, it is comfortable to hold it in this world.

"Leave it at this time for the time being, when I really want to kill Liu Bei, I will definitely not be soft." Cao Cao waved his hand. However, although Cao Cao said this, there was no killing intent in his eyes.

Zhao Fei knew that it was useless for him to say more, so he could only shake his head helplessly. Since Cao Cao had already made a decision, Zhao Fei didn't say anything, and then he got up and returned to his mansion.

The next morning, Cao Cao saw that the situation was similar, so he made a statement to seek an official position for Liu Bei.

Cao Cao's status in the court, who dared to disobey Cao Cao's words, and Emperor Xian naturally frowned when he learned that Cao Cao recommended Liu Bei. Because in the eyes of Emperor Xian, the people recommended by Cao Cao are all Cao Cao's henchmen.

Subsequently, Emperor Xuan Liu Bei was enshrined in the palace.

When Liu Bei arrived at the main hall, he hurriedly leaned down and bowed: "Minister Liu Bei greets the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." ”

Emperor Xian waved with an impatient face: "Excuse me." Aiqing is also surnamed Liu, could it be that after my royal family? "Since the people who know Liu Beizhi Cao Cao, Emperor Xian naturally won't have a good face for him. Although Emperor Xian asked, he was still a little hostile.

Hearing this, Liu Bei got up, and happened to see Emperor Xian's slightly hostile eyes when he looked at him, and in an instant, Liu Bei knew something. Afterwards, Liu Bei spoke: "Back to the saint, the minister is after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing of Han. The great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xian showed a sure expression. Subsequently, he ordered someone to get the genealogy, and he was bound to find out.

A moment later, someone retrieved the royal family tree. And after Liu Bei saw it, his eyes were instantly full of eagerness. After all, whether you can correct your name depends on the genealogy in front of you. If there is no self in the genealogy, with the expression of the emperor who has just presented himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death.

But the results came out quickly, and of course the results were what Liu Bei wanted to see the most. Even though his family is in the middle of the road, he is clearly recorded in the genealogy. This made Liu Bei very happy, and of course, what made Liu Bei even happier was that if he was ranked according to his seniority, he was still the uncle of the emperor.

After seeing that Liu Bei was really a royal family, and he was his own uncle, this made Emperor Xian have a plan. Although Liu Bei and Emperor Xian are relatives who can't be beaten, the relationship between relatives is absolutely ironclad. If you can rely on such a kinship and be able to pull Liu Bei into your camp, it will definitely help you a lot.

Looking at the court, Emperor Xian immediately pretended to be a happy expression and said: "I didn't expect the general to be really my imperial uncle, please move the imperial uncle to the side hall, I want to catch up with the imperial uncle." ”

"No!" Liu Bei hurriedly said. Subsequently, he entered the side hall with Emperor Xian.

And looking at Liu Bei's back, Cao Cao showed a smile that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

In the side hall, Emperor Xian knelt on the dragon chair and looked at Liu Bei, and then, Emperor Xian said: "Since Uncle Huang is a member of the royal family, why do you want to take refuge in Cao Cao?" ”

"The saint misunderstood, the minister did not take refuge in Cao Cao, but he was just committed and waiting for the opportunity to move." Liu Bei naturally knew the purpose of offering the emperor, so he hurriedly began to show his loyalty.
