Two fast horses rode side by side toward the banks of the Yellow River, followed by two or three hundred soldiers on healthy horses galloping at high speed.

The horse's hooves were raised high, and the cracked yellow earth was trampled on by the horses' hooves, rippling pieces of smoke and dust.

The more than 100 soldiers galloping on the left side were all Liu Wei's personal soldiers wearing red armor; And on the right side was Cao Cao's own soldiers wearing dark blue battle clothes.

Riding horses and running at the front of everyone were Liu Wei and Cao Cao, who had taken off their armor and wore daily clothes.

Wearing an ink-colored dress, Liu Wei wore the golden crown made for him by Tao Huanniang on the top of his head, although he was not as heroic as when he was stubborn, but he also had a chic and dignified appearance.

Riding with Liu Wei was Cao Cao, who was dressed in a royal blue suit. In his thirties, he was in his thirties, his slightly squinted eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom, and the jet-black beard fluttering in the wind on his chin added a bit of heroism to Cao Cao.

The bed of the Yellow River here is gentle, and there are no surging waves, but Liu Wei and Cao Cao, who are galloping on horseback, can still clearly hear the sound of the "whooshing" water from the Yellow River.

"Ha Lu Ha!" When he was about to get to the Yellow River, Liu Wei pulled the reins, and when the war horse stopped, he laughed twice, turned his head to look at Cao Cao and said: "Riding with Cao Gong is really a great pleasure in life!" ”

Restraining the war horse, Cao Cao clasped his fists with both hands and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness does not abandon your subordinates and is rude, and you are riding and galloping with your subordinates, and your subordinates are terrified!" ”

"Cao Gong is a big man, why is he afraid?" With a smile on Cao Cao, Liu Wei jumped off the horse, handed the reins to a soldier who stepped forward to pick up the horse, walked side by side with Cao Cao, who also got off the horse, walked to the bank of the Yellow River, pointed to the other side of the river, and said to Cao Cao: "Does Duke Cao know why this king wants to give you this Hanoi?" ”

"Your Highness's kindness, Your Majesty is grateful!" Liu Wei mentioned Hanoi, thinking of Wang Kuang who was secretly killed by Cao Hong, although Cao Cao was treacherous, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty has not built a large amount of work, Your Highness is so generous......"

"Cao Gong is a hero in the world, how can there be few beauties?" Looking at the rolling Yellow River, Liu Wei said to Cao Cao: "There is no beauty in the hands of this king, otherwise it will be given to Cao Gong along with the beauty!" ”

"Your Majesty is terrified!" The title of hero is not something that everyone can bear, especially in troubled times, heroes are just good people to hear, Liu Wei said that Cao Cao is the hero of the world, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked in his heart, hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Bian: "There are many heroes in the world, and your subordinates are just ordinary people......

"Then Cao Gong and this king will talk about who are the heroes in the world?" Liu Wei turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, and asked Cao Cao.

"Jizhou Yuan Shao, Hebei Gongsun Zhan, Huainan Yuan Shu, and Yanzhou Liu Dai are all heroes!" Holding his fists and bowing, Cao Cao peeked at Liu Wei, who was standing with his hands behind him and facing the Yellow River, and said with some confidence: "Nanyang Liu Biao and Jiangxia Huangzu can also be heroes!" As for Dong Zhuo......"

"Yuan Shao knows people well, and he is really a hero!" Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish speaking, Liu Wei raised a hand, blocked what he was about to say later, looked at the boiling Yellow River and said to him: "It's a pity that Yuan Shao is stubborn, and it is not as good as Cao Gong to accept advice." As for Hebei Gongsun Zhan, Huainan Yuan Shu, Nanyang Liu Biao, and Jiangxia Huangzu, if they are said to be princes, they are still proper, and they can be said to be heroes......"

At this point, Liu Wei turned to face Cao Cao, first smiled, and then asked Cao Cao: "Cao Gong thinks that any of them really deserves such a title?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, bowed down and did not answer.

"Dong Zhuo is ambitious, cunning, and can know people well, but he deserves the word hero!" At the mention of Dong Zhuo, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, turned to look at the Yellow River and said, "But this person is narrow-minded and has too much desire for power. Entering Luoyang, before the foothold was stable, it had already caused chaos and abolished the dynasty. When the capital was moved, it plundered the army again, which caused the people to live poorly and the scholars hated it. This person's life is not long, why should Cao Gong mention him! ”

It was for the purpose of talking to Cao Cao about the situation in the world that Liu Wei and Cao Cao came to the bank of the Yellow River. Seeing Cao Cao's panicked look, he already had some calculations in his heart.

Today's Cao Cao is not the Cao Cao who has a heavy army in his hands and no longer respects the Han family more than ten years later. Although he has the essence of a hero, in his bones, he still has an indescribable fear of the Han clan.

Two of Liu Wei's personal soldiers brought a low table, and several other personal soldiers placed some meat and fruits on the low table.

After the soldiers set up the table and spread straw mats on the side of the table, Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Cao Cao and said, "Gong Cao, please take a seat!" ”

Cao Cao has always been bold, and in order to punish Dong Zhuo, he entered Dong Zhuo's bedroom alone to offer a knife, and he was never afraid. But now that he was facing Liu Wei, he was nervous, and some fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

In Luoyang in the past, Cao Cao also met Liu Wei. In his opinion, Liu Wei at that time was just a little emperor who had not dried up, and the weak thing was that no matter who he was, he could be bullied at will.

But now that he faced Liu Wei again, he found that the King Hongnong in front of him was like the little emperor he knew in the past.

Although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, exudes a murderous intent that is difficult to conceal for the rest of his life.

This kind of killing is even higher than that of the generals under Cao Cao who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

What particularly frightened Cao Cao was Liu Bian's analysis of the heroes of the world just now. That analysis, although concise, is to the bone, and it shows the heroes in high positions today one by one.

Standing in front of Liu Bian, Cao Cao intuitively felt that he seemed to have been stripped naked, completely naked, and let Liu Bian watch.

When he sat opposite Cao Cao, Liu Wei raised his hand and pinched the long rod and small spoon in the wine barrel on the side, gently stirred the wine syrup in the barrel, and poured one for Cao Cao and his own family.

When Liu Wei poured wine for Cao Cao, Cao Cao quickly knelt down, held the wine bottle with both hands, and said to Liu Wei with a sad face: "Your Majesty is despicable, how dare you bother His Highness to pour wine......"

"Cao Gong and this king are not outsiders, how can they be so polite!" Pouring wine for Cao Cao, Liu Wei waved his hand at him, motioned for him to sit down, and said to him: "Earlier, Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao for no reason, this king came to Yanzhou this time, and he had a plan in his heart, with Duke Cao leading Yanzhou Mu and cutting off Liu Dai's official title, I don't know what Duke Cao wanted?" ”

Cao Cao, who was originally planning to occupy the entire Yanzhou, heard Liu Wei say this, quickly stood up, took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "How can you dare to take the position of Yanzhou pastor?" I beg Your Highness to take back your order! ”

"I don't want the huge Yanzhou, but I just want to focus on this small Hanoi!" Liu Wei also stood up, put his hands behind his back, faced the Yellow River, and said to Cao Cao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Can Gong Cao feel that he has to Hanoi, and his appetite is really small?" ”

When Liu Wei said this, it was already pointed out that Cao Cao not only wanted Hanoi, but also wanted to occupy Yanzhou, and even secretly pointed out that Wang Kuang's death was Cao Cao's black hand behind his back, and Cao Cao knelt on the ground in shock, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"The reason why this king sent Hanoi to Cao Gong is to ask Cao Gong to occupy Yanzhou!" Liu Wei turned around suddenly, faced Cao Cao, and said to him: "The king has already said that Cao Gong is a hero in the world, and heroes must become great things, so why care about some small things? The Han Dynasty still has to rely on Cao Gong, and today the king promised to send Hanoi and Yanzhou to Cao Gong, which is to ask Cao Gong to assist His Majesty today, kill Dong thief, and help the Han family! ”

"Trusted by His Highness, His Majesty is terrified!" Knowing that the idea of wanting Yanzhou had been seen through by Liu Wei, Cao Cao did not hide it anymore, knelt on the ground, thanked Liu Wei, and then got up and returned to the table and knelt on the straw mat.

Returning to the table and sitting down, Liu Wei picked up the wine bottle, held it and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong is benevolent, this king has thanked Cao Gong for the Han clan!" ”

"Your Highness!" Holding the wine bottle in both hands, Cao Cao looked at Liu Wei and said to him: "Your Majesty still has something in his heart, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Cao Gong, please speak!" Holding the wine bottle, Liu Wei raised his neck, drank all the wine in the bottle, made a gesture of invitation to Cao Cao and said: "You and I avoided the army and came here today, just to speak freely, Cao Gong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

"Fang's war and chaos today are caused by Dong Zhuo's chaotic government!" After drinking the wine in the cup, Cao Cao put the wine bottle on the table, lowered his voice and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is the Son of Heaven, if Your Highness returns to the great treasure, the heroes of the world will definitely obey ......"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and said to him: "Don't say it anymore, this king has long had no illusions about regaining the throne. ”

Liu Bian's attitude was completely beyond Cao Cao's expectations, as soon as he said this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looked at him with a stunned face, and wanted to ask Liu Bian why he didn't want to be the emperor anymore, but his lips moved for a while, but he couldn't ask.

"Brothers fighting for succession have been the root of the decline of the emperor's family since ancient times!" Liu Wei stretched out his hand and pinched the long wooden spoon in the wine barrel, gently stirred the wine syrup a few times, and said to him while pouring wine for Cao Cao: "It is true that Cao Gong supports this king, in addition to Cao Gong, there may be some ministers who are willing to help this king regain the throne." But there are not a few ministers who are loyal to His Majesty today, and if they really fight, they will definitely lose both sides in the end......"

Listening to Liu Wei's words, Cao Cao's face showed a touch of complexity. He furrowed his brows tightly, his thin lips were also tightly closed, and he couldn't help but persuade Liu Wei to give up his current thoughts.

"Don't worry, Cao Gong!" Seeing that Cao Cao did not speak, Liu Wei poured a bottle of wine for him and Cao Cao with his own hands, picked up the wine bottle with both hands, held it to Cao Cao, and said to him: "As long as Duke Cao is willing to help this king restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty, this king will definitely recommend Duke Cao to His Majesty today, and ensure that the family industry of Duke Cao will prosper for generations!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After getting Liu Bian's promise, Cao Cao hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and drank it with Liu Bian.

Although the two of them said very bluntly, they seemed to have said what they wanted to say, but deep in their hearts, they didn't fully trust each other, and they looked at each other's eyes, and they both flickered with confusion, and they didn't dare to make eye contact with each other.
