On the second day of Qingming, Sun Qian returned to Liu Bei's camp. After seeing Sun Gan come back, Liu Bei hurriedly called Sun Gan to the camp tent, and then Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Gongyou, what did Cao Cao say?" ”

"If you return to the lord, Cao Cao has agreed, and will hold a banquet in the city to entertain the lord." Sun Qian said truthfully.

Hearing that Cao Cao actually set up a banquet to entertain him, Liu Bei didn't have any idea, and then Liu Bei said: "Since Cao Cao set up a banquet to entertain him, it is not in accordance with the rules to not go." In that case, Nabei went for a walk. ”

"In that case, I will also go with my eldest brother." Seeing that Liu Bei was planning to go to Xuchang, Zhang Fei hurriedly spoke. Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Yide and Yun Chang are both waiting outside the city, just prepare to go with Gongyou and Xianhe." ”

"But big brother, Cao Cao is treacherous, if Cao Cao wants to endanger big brother, it is good to have me by my side." Guan Yu also said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter! Cao Cao is powerful, if he wants to do more harm, I must be in a different place. Moreover, we are in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is Cao Cao's territory, even if we are protected by the two of you, we can't escape. Liu Bei shook his head and said. Guan Yu is okay to say, but Zhang Fei is like a powder keg, and something unexpected will definitely happen when he takes him to Xuchang. So for the sake of insurance, Liu Bei still planned to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stay in the camp.

"But ......" Guan Yu was still a little unwilling, but was stopped by Liu Bei. Then Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Okay, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei had really made up his mind, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped talking, and then Liu Bei took Sun Qian and Jian Yong towards Xuchang. Cao Cao, the general in Xuchang City, received Liu Bei with a smile. And Liu Bei also smiled in return.

"I'm sorry for disturbing Gong Cao." Liu Bei arched his hand and said. As the saying goes, people are under the eaves. had to bow his head, so Liu Bei still had this look of awe on Cao Cao's face.

"Xuande is the brother of someone in my Cao. Why be so polite, you and I can be commensurate with each other. Cao Cao said with a smile.

"How can this be, Gong Cao is in a high position, how dare I mess with etiquette." Liu Bei said respectfully.

"Let's discuss this matter for the time being, today's invitation to Xuande into the city is to set up a banquet to entertain Xuande." Cao Cao spoke again.

"Alas~~" Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh. With this long sigh, Liu Bei still showed a sad expression.

Seeing Liu Bei showing such an appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Today is the day of great joy for you and my brother to meet, why does Xuande sigh for no reason?" ”

Glanced up at Cao Cao. Liu Bei's expression became more and more sad. Then Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao: "Beiben is the history of Xuzhou's assassination, but unfortunately he mistakenly believed others and led the wolf into the room, which caused Bei to lose the foundation of Xuzhou. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It's not that anyone with wolf ambition would be so lawless and openly attack the imperial court officials. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Liu Bei's heart was annoyed. Cao Cao's words Liu Bei absolutely scoffed. Xuzhou and Yanzhou handed over, and such a big thing happened in Xuzhou, Cao Cao actually said that he didn't know. If Cao Cao really didn't know, his army would have been able to march under Xuchang City a long time ago. Rescue Emperor Xian from the cage.

But having said that, Liu Bei could only follow Cao Cao's words and say: "It's not Lu Bu yet, Lu Bu led the remnants of the defeated army to Xuzhou to take refuge in himself." Seeing that he was a talent, he moved his compassion and took Lu Bu in. But who would have thought that Lu Bu was a wolf with ambition. actually united with the traitors in Xuzhou City to get the foundation of Xuzhou. ”

"This Lu Bu is really ruthless and unrighteous, don't worry, Lu Bu is unrighteous, then you can't blame me for being ruthless, I want to kill this thief reasonably with my virtuous brother, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?" Cao Cao said. He didn't really want to help Liu Bei, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to take Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was just the person he used to contain Lu Bu. Liu Bei had Liu Bei on the front line to contain Lu Bu, and he had enough time to prepare for taking Xuzhou for himself.

Liu Bei naturally knew what Cao Cao meant, but when people are under the roof, what autonomy do they have. So Liu Bei could only nod and said: "Bei has thanked Cao Gong here, and when Bei takes back Xuzhou, he will thank Cao Gong again." ”

"It doesn't matter, you and I are commensurate with each other, why should we be so rewarded for helping our own brothers." Cao Cao smiled, and then said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xian doesn't know if you recognize Si Lang?" ”

"Sileng?" Liu Bei had some doubts in his heart, and then suddenly had an idea, and then said in a somewhat lost voice: "What Gong Cao said is the founder of the Golden Viper Army?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "That's right, Si Lang has really trained a good army, and Si Lang is now a third-level duke, but my Han is the imperial lieutenant." ”

"What?" Liu Bei said in a lost voice, when he was in Xuzhou, Liu Bei heard about Du Chen's name, and originally wanted to ask him to be his advisor, but he didn't expect Du Chen to leave Xuzhou, which became a regret for Liu Bei. Liu Bei never thought that Du Chen would actually come to Cao Cao.

"Si Lang is Cao's right-hand man, if it weren't for Si Lang, Cao would have been taken away by Lu Bu like Xuande." For Liu Bei's surprised expression, Cao Cao looked unusually proud. Back then, he also valued Du Chen very much, and Du Chen finally joined his command, so Cao Cao would naturally be proud and relieved because of this.

"Cao Gong is broad-minded, and he can have a similar talent like Silang, but he is prepared." Liu Bei shook his head, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

"What did the virtuous brother say, the two under the command of Caoguan Xuande are also talented, so why should they be humble." Cao Cao smiled slightly. For talents, Cao Cao treats them equally, so for any talent, Cao Cao is in a state of wooing.

Liu Bei was naturally very clear about Cao Cao's character, and then Liu Bei opened his mouth and said to Cao Cao: "Speaking of Du Chen, Liu Bei wants to see him, I wonder if Meng De can invite Si Lang to talk about it?" ”

"Naturally." Cao Cao nodded, then said a few words to the guard beside him, and then the guard hurriedly walked down. After a while, the guards returned, and the guards followed Du Chen.

"Meet my lord." Du Chen came to the hall and saluted Cao Cao and said. Although Du Chen has a good relationship with Cao Cao in private, when he is in front of outsiders, Du Chen still has to give Cao Cao a little face.

Cao Cao smiled, and then asked in a deep voice, "Silang, do you remember who he is?" ”

Du Chen turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and then Du Chen said: "How can I not know, the name of Xuande benevolence and righteousness has spread all over Kyushu, how can I not know." ”

"Meet the Captain." Seeing Du Chen, Liu Bei immediately got up and saluted. Although Liu Bei is a member of the party, Du Chen is an official to the third duke, and his status is much higher than his own.

Seeing Liu Bei saluting himself, Du Chen didn't have much reaction. I have been a lieutenant for so long, and I have never seen any kind of court official, and except for Cao Cao, almost all of them have to salute when they see themselves, so Du Chen seems accustomed to this matter.

"Xuande doesn't need to be polite." Du Chen waved his hand and said calmly.

Hearing Du Chen's words, Liu Bei suddenly felt a sense of frustration. There is no way, how old is Du Chen, and on the other hand, how old is himself. And Du Chen became a lieutenant at such a young age, and when he was Du Chen's age, he was still selling straw shoes in Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

"I wonder who these two are?" Looking at the two people beside Liu Bei, Du Chen suddenly asked. The two people beside Liu Bei are all extraordinary, and Liu Bei's side is limited, so Du Chen can probably guess who the two people in front of him are.

"This is to be engaged in under the command, Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou. This is also Bei's subordinate to Jian Yong Jian Xianhe. Hearing Du Chen's inquiry, Liu Bei immediately introduced Sun Qian and Jian Yong to Du Chen.

"I've seen Lord Taiwei." Sun Qian Jian Yong hurriedly saluted Du Chen.

Du Chen nodded slightly, and then a sure thought appeared in his heart. Liu Bei had only a few strategists in the early days, and Sun Qianmi, Zhu and Jian Yong were the strategists who followed Liu Bei the longest.

"Why haven't you seen Yun Changyi and De?" Seeing that Liu Bei was followed by Sun Qian and Jian Yong, Du Chen couldn't help but ask. You must know that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are like two protective gods, always guarding Liu Bei's back. So I didn't see Liu Bei, the two guardian saints, today, and Du Chen was a little surprised.

"Yun Changyi De is both outside the city, and both of them are reckless, so I am afraid that taking the two of them into the city will collide with Cao Gong." Liu Bei replied.

"How can it be, Yun Changyide is a fierce general in the world, how can he be a reckless man. Besides, Yun Changyide and I are also acquainted, so how can I be afraid that the two of us will collide with us. Moreover, since Xuande has come to Yanzhou, he can rest assured. Cao Cao said to Liu Bei with a smile.

However, in the face of Cao Cao's kindness, Liu Bei still refused, and Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei did not agree, so he did not continue to force the matter, but ordered someone to start passing the dishes. (To be continued......)
