Chapter 184: The Horseman Can't Win the Ambition (2)
Historically, before Liu Bei and Cao Cao turned against each other, although many of Cao Cao's subordinates were jealous of Liu Bei, most of them remained goodwill.
Even the most fierce Cheng Yu, or the resourceful Guo Jia, they will think that Liu Bei is Cao Cao's henchman, but they don't have much ill will towards him. Even when Liu Bei left Xudu and went to Xuzhou to take up his post, the two only said that they could not let him go.
Now, however, the situation seems to have changed.
There are not a few people under Cao Cao who are disgusted with Liu Bei, especially Zhong Xuan, who hates Liu Bei.
If it weren't for Liu Bei's rumors, why would Liu Chuang have gone into exile and finally become opponents with Cao Cao? So much so that Zhong Miao had to stand on the opposite side of Liu Chuang...... This kind of pain is only clearest in Zhong Xuan's heart. At the same time, because of Zhong Xuan's strong appeal among the Yingchuan clan, more than eighty percent of the Yingchuan clan were dissatisfied with Liu Bei. Well, it's dissatisfaction, not sheer jealousy......
Zhong Xuan, after the four chiefs of Yingchuan Zhong, he is a celebrity today.
Maybe not all Yingchuan people will be convinced by him, but his attitude can affect the thoughts of many Yingchuan people.
The same is true for Guo Jia, including Guo Jia.
He hated Liu Chuang very much, but he hated Liu Bei even more.
You spread rumors that Liu Chuang was a 'slave who betrayed the master's house', but Liu Chuang was a real Marquis of Zhongling, and he was a member of my Yingchuan.
Don't underestimate the power of this township party!
He may not be able to change the general trend, but he can easily change a person's views and preferences.
Guo Jia thinks that you Liu Bei is spreading rumors about us 'Yingchuan people', which is to slap all Yingchuan scholars in the face. Although Liu Chuang is very annoying. But you Liu Bei spread rumors and made trouble, and his misconduct was even more disgusting. Hate and disgust are two completely different concepts. It also represents Guo Jia's attitude towards Liu Bei. Of course, if Liu Chuang was an ordinary person, Guo Jia might not have such a strong affection. But the key is that Liu Chuang is not an ordinary person! He is not only Liu Tao's son. It is Cao Cao's opponent who is now jealous.
But this opponent was caused by Liu Bei......
Cao Cao didn't understand the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"Fengxiao, follow me to stop the conflict first, and then welcome Liu Mengyan."
The attitude of the Yingchuan clan towards Liu Bei, Cao Cao knew very well.
But the more this is the case, the more he values Liu Bei...... The hostility of the Yingchuan clan to Liu Bei can also restrain the power of the Yingchuan clan.
Sometimes think about it, the power of the Yingchuan clan under Cao Cao's account. It's just too big.
Even includes Yanzhou scholars like Cheng Yuman. Also more or less. It is a trend of respecting the Yingchuan clan.
It is not a good thing to continue to develop like this.
Guo Jia knew the severity and complained a little. And he said no more.
He followed Cao Cao and hurried to the outside of Huaiyin City.
thought that Liu Chuang and Zhang Fei had already clashed. But I didn't think about it, and I saw a different scene......
Liu Chuang, accompanied by Zhong Xuan, reined in the bank of Huaishui.
Although there were Cao soldiers and generals all around, and there were countless pairs of hateful eyes, looking at Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang didn't seem to care.
The burly figure, straddling a dragon horse, was like a god.
He only wore a giant sword, and the eight-tone spine and the Jiazi sword were placed on a pack horse, and the root had no intention of taking it off.
He wears a purple and gold crown with two young chicken feathers inserted upside down on the purple gold crown.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and chubby face, there is always a faint smile, but it shows a kind of contempt.
Wearing a black robe, a black lion buckle jade belt around his waist, a moon-white fox fur robe, and a pair of black boots. Although it is in the midst of thousands of troops, it has a different kind of outstanding momentum that stands out from the crowd. So much so that as soon as Cao Cao came out of the city gate, he recognized Liu Chuang.
"Fengxiao, the person in the white robe, is it Liu Mengyan?"
Guo Jia's eyelids rolled for a moment, and then drooped down, "In addition to this fat man, can he be so spirited?" ”
Fat man?
Cao Cao suddenly laughed!
"It's a majestic place, and it's not idle.
No wonder people praise him as the name of 'Flying Bear', although he is not as handsome as the first, but he is more powerful than the tiger, and he is worthy of being the queen of Zhongling. ”
Cao Cao is a person who loves martial arts very much.
It seems that his love for Guan Yu in history can be said to be unmatched.
Even if Lu Bu embarrassed Cao Cao many times, he ruined Cao Cao's major events several times. But on the White Gate Tower, he still moved his heart to love talents. If it weren't for Liu Bei's downfall, Lu Bu might not have really been killed. It is precisely because of this that when he saw Liu Chuang, he suddenly fell in love with talent. Although Liu Chuang embarrassed him many times, Cao Cao couldn't help but praise at this time.
"If you have the courage to fly a bear, why worry about the world?"
Guo Jia heard it on the side, and his heart couldn't help but move.
His eyes sparkled, as if he remembered something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his delicate face......
About 100 steps in front of Liu Chuang, two teams of soldiers and horses confronted each other.
Zhang Fei put down the black horse in his crotch, the snake spear gun in his palm, looked at Guan Yu who was wearing a parrot green robe opposite, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was holding a knife in one hand, and shouted: "Second brother, Liu Chuang and my brother have a deep hatred like the sea, and my brother hates him even more, why do you want to stop me?" ”
It turned out that Zhang Fei heard that Liu Chuang was coming, so he led people to find trouble.
Unexpectedly, when he came to the outside of the city, he was stopped by Guan Yu.
"Yide, Liu Chuang and I are indeed as deep as the sea, but now he is here under the edict of the Son of Heaven, if you are looking for trouble, isn't it provoking the Son of Heaven?
I also hate him to the core, but no matter what, he is now under the edict of the Son of Heaven, and you and I can provoke him. ”
Zhang Fei can not think about it thoroughly, but Guan Yu can see it clearly.
Did Liu Chuang lose?
I'm afraid it may not be......
The reason why he is here today is not as a general.
If Liu Chuang is a general, then I won't stop you Zhang Fei from looking for trouble.
But the problem is that Liu Chuang came by the edict of the Son of Heaven...... In other words, even if he was defeated. is not an ordinary role that Zhang Fei can go to provoke. If this is not good, it will affect Liu Bei. If it really hurts Liu Chuang, the last unlucky one must be Liu Bei.
Not to mention. Liu Chuang also had Zhong Xuan by his side.
How could Zhong Xuan watch you Zhang Fei come to provoke Liu Chuang?
Guan Yu knew that although Liu Chuang and Zhong Xuan were not nephews, they had such a relationship.
If you provoke Liu Chuang in the past, where will Zhong Xuan have face? In other words. If you offend Zhong Xuan, you will definitely offend the entire Yingchuan clan.
Guan Yu is kind-hearted, but Zhang Fei doesn't appreciate it very much.
He sneered: "Second brother, isn't it because Liu Chuang let Tan Zhi go, so he is close in his heart?" ”
Guan Yulai was calm and didn't want to turn his face with Zhang Fei. But Zhang Fei's words hit the sore spot in his heart, and he was immediately furious.
"Why did Yide say this? I have hindered you today for the sake of my brother's reputation, why do you say such things? ”
Zhang Fei said: "That is, it is not close. Why don't you come with me? ”
"Yide. I'll stop you. The reason has already been said, and I don't want to say it again.
Today, I can't let you do whatever you want. If you want to find trouble with Liu Chuang. I will stand in the way. ”
"Then you're going to stop me from trying!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily, and the snake spear gun in his palm shook. and rushed forward. And Guan Yu didn't want to say more, so he flipped the one-handed big knife outward, and rushed out with the edge of the knife.
"Yide, you don't have to mess around here, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Ha, then I'd like to see what you can do to me." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, the horse rushed over.
Guan Yu said the truth, he understood.
But being stopped by Guan Yu like this, Zhang Fei felt shameless again. He didn't necessarily really want to fight Liu Chuang, he just wanted to humiliate Liu Chuang. But now, he is riding a tiger. Countless pairs of eyes around him stared at him, he was about to stop at this time, wouldn't he be seen as afraid of Liu Chuang? If Guan Yu didn't stop him, he might just show off his might, and then collect his troops and go back to the camp.
But his words just now angered Guan Yu.
Guan Ping was captured twice by Liu Chuang and released twice...... No matter what psychology Liu Chuang has, Guan Yu will keep this affection in his heart.
At the same time, Guan Ping was also depressed and depressed because of these two captures.
You, Zhang Fei, are Guan Ping's elders, and instead of comforting Guan Ping, you have repeatedly used Guan Ping's affairs to talk about things.
Guan Yu may not be a good father, but he is a father after all. The love for Guan Ping, as well as the guilt caused by the lack of care for Guan Ping in the early years, made Guan Yu extremely sensitive. Zhang Fei provoked Guan Yu's sore spot three times and five times, which also made Guan Yu extremely angry. He and Zhang Fei had some contradictions, seeing Zhang Fei so domineering and arrogant, Danfeng's eyes glared, and anger arose in his heart.
"Yide is so ignorant, then I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my brother."
Before the words fell, Zhang Fei's horse had already approached, and the snake spear stabbed at Guan Yu.
Guan Yutuo's knife was suddenly sent out, and when he heard the sound of the bell, he set up Zhang Fei's snake spear gun......
Seeing that the two of them were about to turn their faces, a fast horse galloped from a distance, "Yide, Yun Chang, you two and I stop!" ”
Liu Bei also knew that Liu Chuang was coming today, and he was quite unhappy in his heart.
thought that he could take this opportunity to take Liu Chuang's life...... It was expected that the edict would shatter all his good ideas.
He didn't want to come to meet Liu Chuang, so he went to Chen Deng's military camp to eat and drink.
Unexpectedly, when he was chatting with Chen Deng, he suddenly heard that Zhang Fei was going to find Liu Chuang with someone to trouble, and he was shocked.
"Xuande Gong, don't let the three generals act recklessly.
Cao Cao is now very jealous of you and me, and the Yingchuan clan is even more dissatisfied with you. The thief was under the edict of the Son of Heaven, and if the three generals collided with him, it would inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the old ministers of the court and the Yingchuan clan. When the time comes, Xuande Gong, you will be in big trouble. ”
Of course, Liu Bei also knew this, so he hurriedly prepared his horse and rushed with Chen to stop it.
Seeing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu fighting, he felt happy in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little dissatisfied.
Yide doesn't know things, don't you know things either?
If you stop him, forget it, why fight him? Isn't it ridiculed by outsiders that the three of us brothers are not compatible......
Liu Bei immediately stepped forward and came between Guan and Zhang.
As soon as he appeared, Guan Zhang couldn't do it again, so he had to retreat to the side.
"Yide, don't bring anyone back yet...... Yun Chang, you too, since you know Yide's temper, let him take a look. What's the matter? ”
It sounds like Liu Bei is judging impartially.
But in fact, it is somewhat biased towards Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu frowned slightly, although he didn't say anything. But in my heart I feel dissatisfied.
And Liu Bei didn't pay attention to Liu Chuang after the two of them, and urged the horse to come to Cao Cao, "Sikong." Yun Changyide is just making trouble, and has no other meaning, please forgive me. When Uncle Huang came today, I didn't go to greet him and went back to the camp. ”
Cao Cao only smiled and did not delve into it.
At the same time, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and after glancing at Guan Yu, he smiled and said, "Xuande will act by himself." Hugh to worry. ”
He spoke. Urging the horse to go to Liu.
"Meng Yan. Cao Gong is here! ”
Zhong Xuan saw Cao Cao coming with someone on horseback, and hurriedly reminded Liu Chuang.
Who knows, the corners of Liu Chuang's mouth turned slightly. With a proud face, he still rode on his horse. There was no intention of dismounting to greet him.
"Meng Yan ......"
"I am the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I came here under the edict of the Son of Heaven, not a general, so why do I need to get off the horse?"
Zhong Miao only felt a headache, looking at Liu Chuang, he really didn't know what to say.
However, Liu Chuang's arrogance made him have nothing to say. That's right, he's not a general, so why bother lowering his posture?
This child's temper is very similar to that of the eldest brother!
However, Liu Chuang can be arrogant, but Zhong Xuan can't be like this.
He urged the horse to meet him and saluted Cao Cao, "Cao Gong, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, Beihai Xiang, Yangwu General Liu Chuang, has abandoned the city and comes." ”
This sentence is actually a reminder to Cao Cao: You have promised that you will not harm his life.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Yuan Chang is hard. ”
He rode his horse and passed by Zhong Xuan, and then came to Liu Chuang.
The generals behind him suddenly showed nervousness.
Yue Xi dismounted from his crotch and was about to move, the halberd in his hand was horizontal in front of him, and a pair of eyes firmly locked Liu Chuang, as long as Liu Chuang had the slightest movement, he would rush forward without hesitation.
Not only Yue Xi was so nervous, but also Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others were also extremely nervous.
After all, people are names, and trees are shadows.
In the first battle of Pugupi, Liu Chuang can be said to have made a name for himself.
Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of his and Lu Bu's almost the same name as the 'Flying Bear', it was enough to make Cao Cao's generals feel a little frightened.
That is not the reputation that has been blown out, but the prestige that Liu Chuang has really killed in the past three years.
"Meng Yan, this is the first time I've seen you."
Cao Cao showed a warm smile on his face, looked at Liu Chuang and said.
Liu Chuang still straddled the horse, holding the giant sword in one hand and the reins in the other.
He was also looking Cao Cao up and down, looking at this capable minister who was in the later generations, there was a lot of controversy, but he was loved and praised by many people, and he was a traitor in troubled times.
Cao Cao was short in stature, and he looked like he was about 170 centimeters.
Detailed, horizontal eyebrows, and not very good looks. And the body is a little fat, but in terms of temperament, there is an inexplicable majesty.
He is not as handsome as Liu Bei, but he has a unique bearing.
What bearing?
Well, maybe this is the so-called adulterous masculinity!
Liu Chuang raised his hand, which immediately caused a commotion among the generals behind Cao Cao.
Cao Cao frowned, turned his head and glanced back, which calmed down the generals.
"Cao Gong, in fact, we could meet three years ago."
"This ......"
Cao Cao was a little uncomfortable by Liu Chuang's words. Yes, in fact, they had the opportunity to meet three years ago...... At that time, Liu Chuang was still carrying the name of Liukou, from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, from Yangzhou to Yuzhou, rampant in the land of three states, just wanting to return to his hometown and recognize his ancestors.
It's just that Cao Caogen didn't take Liu Chuang in his eyes at that time, and Liu Bei's words made him make up his mind and sent Li Tong to conquer Liu Chuang.
This is also one thing that Cao Cao regrets!
If he had accepted Liu Chuang at that time, maybe there would have been no behind, that series of unnecessary conflicts......
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, he immediately adjusted his feelings, "Meng Yan, no matter what, you and I have finally met each other." ”
Can you write off the unhappiness of the past?
Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart: Cao Cao is really easy to get close to. His bearing, his heart...... You know, how many people did Liu Chuang kill in this battle of Xuzhou? Not to mention, in Gaomi, he killed Cao Cao's life-saving benefactor Lou Yi.
However, he can say that he will forget it, at least this bearing, which makes Liu Chuang also admire.
If, if there is no experience in Beihaiguo, Liu Chuang is really willing to turn the war with Cao Cao into a jade silk.
But......
After tasting the wonderful taste of waking up and killing the sword and drunken on the knees of a beauty, how could he be willing to live under others?
"Cao Gong, the general who can't break through the defeated army, what is the difference between seeing and not seeing?"
As he spoke, he immediately bowed his hand to Cao Cao, "Break into the Hanchen, and be loyal to the Son of Heaven." Today, it is not appropriate to continue to stay in Xuzhou. He did not enter the city, and he was separated from Cao Gong. When we meet again in Xudu one day, we will definitely drink with Cao Gong. ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment that was not easy to detect.
He looked at Liu Chuang, and suddenly smiled after a while: "What Meng Yan said is that the Son of Heaven is calling, and it is urgent to wait, then I will not leave Meng Yan!" ”
Liu Chuang also smiled!
"So, let's leave!"
"We'll all see you again."
In this way, the first meeting between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao ended in a hurry outside Huaiyin City.
Cao Cao did not keep Liu Chuang to rest in Huaiyin City, and Liu Chuang had no intention of staying in Huaiyin City, so he took Xiahoulan and others across the river.
"Lord, this is arrogant, why don't you leave him here?"
As soon as Liu Chuang left, someone stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "Although the Son of Heaven is called, the war in Xuzhou is over, and bandits are rampant, and it is inevitable that ......"
The person who said this was none other than Zang Ba.
If there is anyone among Cao Jiang who is most afraid of Liu Chuang, I am afraid it is Zang Ba and others.
If it weren't for him, Hou Cheng and others betraying Lu Bu, the battle situation in Xuzhou might have changed to a different one.
Therefore, Zang Ba and others are the most desperate for Liu Chuang to die.
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Why did Xuan Gao say this? Liu Beihai was edicted by the Son of Heaven, and you have to come to Hugh. ”
Don't forget, the relationship between Liu Chuang and the Yingchuan clan. In the past, the Yingchuan clan may have been hostile to Liu Chuang, but now that Liu Chuang has bowed his head, how can they not take precautions? If Liu Chuang had an accident on the road, it would be equivalent to saying that Cao Cao and the Yingchuan clan were completely opposed. At least at this stage, Cao Cao is not ready to completely turn against the Yingchuan clan......
PS: Recently, my schedule has been completely chaotic, day and night have been reversed, and I am miserable.
The second will be later, forgive me!!
