Just when Zhao Fei was full of thoughts, a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly appeared outside the door of the study. He entered the study and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Liu Bei asks to see you outside the door." ”

Zhao Fei and the two looked at each other, and then they both showed a very helpless smile. I was still talking about Liu Bei just now, but I didn't expect that it didn't take long for Liu Bei to come to visit. It can really be said that Liu Bei will be there when he says Liu Bei.

But since Liu Bei is here, he must not be avoided. Therefore, Cao Cao nodded to the man, and then said, "Let him come in." ”

Zhao Fei looked at Cao Cao, without the slightest intention of leaving. Because he wanted to see what kind of performance Liu Bei would have here. After all, Liu Bei came here under the pretext of thanking Cao Cao, and if Liu Bei couldn't justify himself, the result could be known.

After a while, Liu Bei followed the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the study, and behind Liu Bei were his almost inseparable bodyguards, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei...... When he entered the study and saw that there was one more Zhao Fei standing in the study, Liu Bei was somewhat stunned. But in an instant, Liu Bei recovered.

I saw Liu Bei and the three of them come to the middle of the study, and then solemnly gave Cao Cao a big salute, and said: "Minister Liu Bei, meet Prime Minister Cao Cheng." ”

"Hehehe." Cao Cao smiled, and then said: "Xuande doesn't need much, they are all their own brothers, why bother to be so angry." I miss you and I killing the Yellow Turban together and currying Dong Zhuo, we have known each other for a long time. I see you as a brother, but you behave like this time and again. ”

After Liu Bei and the three of them got up, Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "The reason of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, Cao Cheng is in a high position, and he can't be prepared for a city that is too guarded, and his identity is so different, how can Bei be a brother and sister to the prime minister." ”

"Xuande is boring, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are no outsiders among them, why do you need to be so formal." Cao Cao said dissatisfiedly, and then, Cao Cao asked, "I don't know what Xuande is looking for me?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Fei, and then said: "Lord Taiwei is here, presumably Lord Taiwei has already told the prime minister that he is going to enter Beijing this time to write about the prime minister. Whether it is the support of the prime minister to me, or the prime minister who sent troops to rescue me when preparing for a crisis, Bei is very grateful. ”

Liu Bei was very sincere, which made Zhao Fei on the side secretly speechless. This Liu Bei is definitely an actor-level figure, if he lives in his own era, his performance will definitely be popular all over the world, at least there is no problem with winning an Oscar.

"I didn't expect this matter to make Xuande so concerned, but in my opinion, Xuande is a little fussful." Cao Cao laughed. Then, he said: "But since Xuande is here, then he will stay in Xuchang for a few days." ”

"I've been thinking that Xuande is a great talent, and staying in Xiaopei is indeed a bit overkill. So I would like to be recommended by the Holy Lord, and let Xuande you stay in Jingshi. You must know that the Han Dynasty is in ruins, and the princes in various places are divided, and this is the time to employ people, so Xuande can have better development if he stays in Xuchang. Cao Cao stared at Liu Bei to see what he was planning.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but at this time he seemed a little silent, he was thinking about something.

Zhao Fei also stared at Liu Bei tightly on one side, because he wanted to see something on Liu Bei's expression. However, to Zhao Fei's disappointment, Liu Bei behaved unusually calm, which made Zhao Fei frown a little.

At this time, he thought of the scene when he first met him, especially Huangfu Song's words, which made Zhao Fei remember it very vividly. That is Liu Bei's joy and anger, and he is a very difficult person to deal with.

Zhao Fei does not deny this. But now, he realized that Liu Bei's moody performance surprised him. Because whether it was from his eyes, from his expression, or from his subtle movements, Zhao Fei didn't find anything useful.

Obviously, Liu Bei's heart is very strong, so strong that there is no flaw at all. Maybe there were, but Zhao Fei was not professional, so he didn't find out. But Rao is like this, Liu Bei's strong heart has already made Zhao Fei embarrassed.

However, at this time, Liu Bei was tormented in his heart. Because it was a dilemma, and no matter which one he chose, he had to give up something. Either freedom or future. Between the two, there is no reconciliation.

If you choose to stay in Xiaopei, you will realize that you have not developed much. Xiaopei Chengchi is too small, and Liu Bei's ambition will never be realized. And if you come to Xuchang, even if you can prosper in an official position, your freedom will also be restricted.

Although Cao Cao did not doubt the use of people, Liu Bei had reason to believe that Cao Cao would be jealous of himself. He is not Cao Cao's henchman, and it is impossible for him to be his confidant. One day, he will definitely meet Cao Cao. Liu Bei was convinced of this, and Cao Cao must have thought this in his heart.

Therefore, Cao Cao left himself in Xuchang in order to put himself under house arrest. Xuchang was Cao Cao's base and must have been heavily defended. If you really come to Xuchang, it will be very difficult to leave.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Bei finally made a decision. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and since you have come now, you will definitely not leave if you don't achieve your goal. And he believes that staying in Xuchang will be more developed, even though this is Cao Cao's lair.

If he kept Xuchang, he would completely attract all of Cao Jun's attention to Xuchang, and Chen Zhi, who stayed in Xiaopei, would not receive the attention of others. At that time, Chen Zhi can be more assured about what he does.

"In that case, Nabei wrote the prime minister here first." As he spoke, Liu Bei clasped his fists and saluted Cao Cao.

Faced with Liu Bei's choice, Zhao Fei was not surprised. Even if you are surrounded by many people, as long as you have the heart, you will still do your best to escape from here. But if you stay in Xiaopei, it is a choice without any future.

After all, Xiao Pei's resources are leisurely, and they are still in the cracks. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shu clashed, Xiao Pei would definitely be the first target. At that time, with Liu Bei's current strength, it is definitely unknown whether he can hold Xiao Pei.

Without Xiaopei, where else can Liu Bei go. At this time, he rashly went to Yuan Shao or Liu Biao, which was an unrealistic thing. Because Liu Bei had no one to justify his name at this time, he was just a straw sandals seller.

Staying in Xuchang, Liu Bei had the opportunity to make a name for himself. You must know that the situation in Xuchang is also relatively chaotic now. Although Cao Cao is the dominant family in Xuchang, Emperor Xian is not a person who is willing to be at the mercy of others.

has been a puppet for a long time, and Emperor Xian's desire for power is absolutely urgent. Although, in comparison, Cao Cao is better to himself than Dong Zhuo to himself, but the puppet is still just a puppet, and his essence has not changed at all.

Although Liu Bei's strength is humble, the people under his command who are capable of fighting also have a lot of money. Although there are few of these people, in the eyes of Emperor Xian, these people are also very cherished. After all, Liu Bei and these people are real warriors, and compared with many family members, Liu Bei's soldiers are much more useful.

Therefore, as long as Liu Bei has usable value, the row of emperors and royalists will definitely take him over. They need to deal with Cao Cao, and they need to accumulate strength over there, and people like Liu Bei are exactly what Emperor Xian needs.

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Cao Cao smiled and nodded. Then, Cao Cao said: "Xuande's ability is obvious to all, I just played a role in writing and adding fuel to the fire." Moreover, presumably, without me, with my talent of Xuande, I will achieve something great sooner or later. ”

"Tomorrow, I will want to recommend Xuande to the saint, and when the time comes, Xuande will be ready to enter the palace with me to face the saint."

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart could be described as extremely happy. Doing so much by himself, at the cost of his life, isn't it just to be able to enter the Beijing Saint. As long as you see the emperor yourself, then everything that follows will become logical.
