Chapter Seventy-Nine: Liu Xiu's Potential, Cao Cao's Thoughts
Cao Cao's camp, inside the tent of the Chinese army
Cao Cao saw that several civil and military generals under Liu Xiu's command were all figures he had never heard of, so he casually praised Liu Xiu and instigated Sun Ce;
And although Sun Ce is not a violent temper, he can't stand the instigation of others, his joy and anger suddenly appeared, drinking and throwing glasses, exaggerating and mocking: "Chu Hou is naturally a talented person, and the two white-robed generals also have 'invincible bravery', and the young one is called Luo Cheng Luo Shixin, known as ' The old man's name is Xue Li Xue Rengui, I heard that he is the first fierce general under the command of the Marquis of Chu, and he is also the commander of the vanguard of the three armies, he can be civil and martial, and he is also much better than Bo Fu, and Bo Fu heard that General Xue is also a Fang Tian painting halberd! ”
Sun Ce said, and also held his eyes to Lu Bu; Since the defeat of Yuzhang last time, he has spent countless hours investigating Liu Xiu's situation in the past year, in order to 'know himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles'!
Everyone in the tent listened to Sun Ce's strange tone and introduced the generals under Liu Xiu's command; And when everyone heard that Zhang Hao, who was so brave, was not the number one master under Liu Xiu, they couldn't help but look at the older white-robed general behind Liu Xiu; Especially Lu Bu, he looked at Xue Rengui even more scrutinically, you must know that there are very few people who make halberds, and there are even fewer masters who make halberds;
As we all know, in addition to the most important commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, the vanguard general and the vanguard commander play a vital role in the morale of the whole army, and sometimes even determine the victory or defeat of a war; Therefore, what Cao Cao noticed was Xue Rengui's calm and capable aura
Under the constant scrutiny of Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Xue Rengui was completely unmoved, and even the qi on his body did not change in the slightest! Such a performance made everyone in the tent even more impressed, there are really so many capable people under Liu Xiu's command!
Before Liu Xiu could open his mouth to refute, Sun Ce squeezed his eyebrows again and said exaggeratedly: "The gentleman behind Chu Hou is even more amazing, he is a member of the Han family, after Liu An, the king of Huainan, and his name is Liu Ji Liu Bowen, but he is known as 'Clever Calculation', and everything in the world is in his heart!" ”
Sun Ce said exaggeratedly, but he couldn't wait to make everyone who Liu Xiu said jealous
As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking this time, not only Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, but also several strategists such as Guo Jia behind Cao Cao, as well as Chen Gong and others, all of them all stared at the Han clan behind Liu Xiu; You must know that not everyone dares to have such titles as 'magic calculation' and 'calculation of the world'
And Liu Bei even got up and arched his hand and said: "It turns out that Mr. is also a member of the Han family, and Xuande is polite here!" ”
Liu Bowen smiled and saluted: "Bowen has seen Xuande Gong!" ”
Cao Cao also said at this time: "Mr. is actually a member of the Han family, Cao Mengde is here to give you a drink!" As he spoke, he raised his glass to each other
Liu Bowen returned the favor again
Everyone knows that Sun Ce has Zhou Yu for him, but he still calls Liu Bowen so, which shows that he does have real talent and learning; And after Sun Ce's introduction this time, it also planted the seeds of jealousy in the hearts of everyone, presumably after this battle, the reputation of Liu Xiu's capable military generals will spread
However, at this time, Liu Xiu listened to Sun Ce exposing his strength so much, but he didn't care, today he brought Liu Bowen and the other four people, he was ready to show part of his strength, in order to achieve the purpose of earning fame, not to mention that this is not all his hole cards!
Therefore, when Liu Xiu heard Sun Ce's introduction, he still only smiled slightly, and bowed his hand and said: "Brother Bo Fu has won the award, Bo Wen, Rengui, Shixin, and Zhang Hao are all my arms, and it is also my luck that they can show their talents under my command!" ”
Cao Cao raised his glass and praised: "Ji Xuxian's nephew is so modest, so many handsome warriors, this is the first time I've heard of Cao Cao, the virtuous nephew is really good!" ”
"I don't dare to be so praised by Uncle Cao, it's just just the right time!" Liu Xiu excused himself.
But obviously Cao Cao wanted to say more than that, and continued: "How can Ji Xuxian's nephew be so humble, with his nephew's current ability, I believe that it won't be long before Jiangdong and other places will be in his hands, and no one is your opponent, right?!" ”
Cao Cao's words once again stirred Sun Ce's nerves, and even made Sun Ce clench the wine glass in his hand tightly, and blue veins appeared on his face
And Cao Cao said such similar words repeatedly, Liu Xiu naturally heard the meaning, and politely retorted: "Wherever Uncle Cao said, whether it is Jiangdong or the Central Plains, it is the world of my Han Dynasty, how can it be said that it is in my hands or in the hands of Uncle Cao?!" ”
"Hahaha" Cao Cao heard this, and laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, yes, but I, Cao Cao, said the wrong thing, it's all my Han world!" However, if this time he captures the land of Jianghuai occupied by the rebellious Yuan Shu, Uncle Cao will give it to the virtuous nephew, who is the son and daughter of the Han family, and it is a matter of course to govern Jianghuai and even Jiangdong, I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants? ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he heard it, this Cao Cao made up his mind to provoke him and Sun Ce today, so he replied unceremoniously: "This Jiangdong Yangzhou and other places are owned by my uncle Liu Xuan, and now Uncle Liu Xiang is a guest in my Jingnan, and he still needs to return to Uncle Liu Xuan's hands in the future!" What's more, there are Xuande Gong and Wen Hou who have worked so hard to eradicate the rebellion, when everyone is determined, how can they be as Uncle Cao said, and they really dare not suffer alone! ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, directly pushing Cao Cao to the opposite side of everyone, but at this time, everyone in the tent just kept watching Liu Xiu and Cao Cao's verbal confrontation coldly, and did not mean to join in at all
Cao Cao praised again: "Ji Xuxian's nephew is really loyal, and at this time, he is still thinking about Lord Liu Xuan and the generals, he is worthy of a heroic boy!" ”
However, this time, before Liu Xiu answered, Cao Cao asked again: "The virtuous nephew is so young and promising, don't you know if you can get married?" Or do you have someone you like? ”
"Never!" Liu Xiu heard Cao Cao suddenly ask about his marriage, and he was really a little puzzled, so even everyone in the account was confused.
To say that Cao Cao has been making trouble for Liu Xiu today, provoking Sun Ce, and probing his subordinates, he will not miss the opportunity; Now he suddenly asked about Liu Xiu's marriage, is he going to recruit Liu Xiu as his son-in-law? !
Everyone guessed, but Cao Cao's next sentence was even more unexpected
