Chapter 11: Embarrassment
Bai Tu was very embarrassed, he was embarrassed by Chen Gong's blow, and he was embarrassed!
However, no one has noticed his embarrassment for the time being, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and several other officials and celebrities in Xuzhou during the banquet all looked at him curiously and surprised at this time, and even Bai Tu faintly felt that Guan Erye had opened his eyes to look at himself.
That sharpness made Bai Tu can't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck......
Fortunately, at this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked in and interrupted Bai Tu's embarrassment.
"Envoy, the angel has arrived, and it seems to be ...... The situation in Chang'an has changed. After the middle-aged scribe came in, he didn't wait for Liu Bei to greet him, but walked directly to the front and reported to Liu Bei.
For a while, Zhang Fei glared at him, and Guan Yu also glanced at this person with a real light in his eyes, and the Xuzhou civil and military forces present were all a little looking left and right, and a few showed either dissatisfaction or a sneering demeanor, but they were all very restrained.
Now, it's Liu Bei's embarrassment!
This "embarrassment" is the kind that Bai Tu, who is not very suitable for this occasion, can feel it and rush to his face.
The middle-aged scribe who came in was obviously an official from Xuzhou, and Bai Tu didn't know what the specific official was, but judging from what he reported, his status should not be low.
However......
is such a Xuzhou official, who actually called Liu Bei "Liu Yuanjun" instead of the lord, and even reported to Liu Bei in front of Lu Bu and his party that this sounds quite important!
Bai Tu seemed to see that the middle-aged scribe who looked like a crepe was greeting Liu Bei's face with a bow left and right at this time.
Even if they were not Liu Bei's cronies, they were all "looking left and right" at this time, and it was not good to look at Liu Bei's jokes, only Lu Bu looked at this scene stupidly, as if he was still looking forward to the second episode......
Fortunately, Chen Gong was next to him, and at this time, he vaguely pulled his sleeve, and Lu Bu did not move.
"Mr. Cao has worked hard! Let me introduce it to you, this is the famous Wenhou Lu Bu...... "Liu Bei, who was in the center of embarrassment, did not see any different colors, but seemed to enthusiastically pull Cao Bao to introduce Lu Bu.
Bai Tu's eyesight, anyway, he couldn't see that Liu Bei's emotions were the slightest fake.
It can only be seen that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are very angry, especially the latter, who is already grinding his teeth, and he doesn't even know why...... Bai Tu always felt that faintly beside Zhang Fei could hear a faint tiger roar.
It can also be seen that most of the Xuzhou officials present looked sideways and did not look at Liu Bei's jokes, but they were still gloating, and there was a feeling that Cao Bao was more prestigious than Liu Bei in the hearts of these people - that's right, now Bai Tu listened to Liu Bei's recommendation, and also knew that this person was Xuzhou Famous Scholar and Xiapi Taishou Cao Bao!
The three most important military towns in Xuzhou, one is Pengcheng, the state seat of Xuzhou, the second is Xiaopei from Yuzhou, and the third is Tancheng, the county seat of Xiapi County, which can also be called Xiapi City.
In history, whether it was Tao Qian or Liu Bei, in the case of the loss of Pengcheng, the first reaction was to retreat to Xiapi - Xiaopei Lonely City, which was not suitable for garrison in the absence of Xuzhou City.
And Lu Bu not to mention, the White Gate Tower refers to the south gate of Xiapi.
A person who is so alienated from Liu Bei, but can be the Taishou of Xiapi, has already shown his status and popularity in Xuzhou!
Cao Bao sounds like a big and three rough name, but in fact, this guy is a scribe, and he is very prestigious in Xuzhou officialdom, and he was the number two person in Xuzhou during the Tao Qian period, and now he is the representative of the local family in Xuzhou.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, how did Cao Cao become red by Lu Bu?
Although in this world, Chen Gong has never been the Taishou of Dongjun, but he is indeed a local official in Yanzhou, and most of them sit back and watch the results of Lu Bu's entry into Yanzhou.
The reason why there was such a fuss was because Cao Cao had earlier beheaded a few celebrities who ridiculed him as a eunuch, which caused Yanzhou officials to centrifuge.
This is also the problem that warlords everywhere are now facing - how many years have they started? In terms of local governance, it is all the old bureaucrats from these local families.
Cao Cao didn't believe in evil and tried it, but he was blown up by Lu Bu like this!
Liu Bei is even more so in Xuzhou, Cao Cao is still a family business that he has worked hard for, but he is only cooperating with the family, and Liu Bei ...... took over Xuzhou directly from Tao Qian, but the old department of Xuzhou had very sharp contradictions on this matter.
Cao Bao not only has the support of most of the local families in Xuzhou, but even Tao Qian's old book "Danyang Bing" is now mostly in Cao Bao's hands.
Danyang County is a county in Yangzhou - Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers!
With the theory of this world, it is a special type of military that can only be "trained" by Danyang Ji using local military manpower, and the specific effect is not known, anyway, it is all kinds of easy to use.
is such a famous man with all the prestige in the military, civilian, civil and military affairs, if Liu Bei really does something to him, I am afraid that he will be blown up worse than Cao Cao - Cao Cao has his own descendants!
And in terms of attitude, Bai Tu couldn't tell at all whether Liu Bei was really magnanimous, or was he planning something forbearingly......
Judging from Bai Tu's familiar history, Cao Bao will intensify the conflict with Zhang Fei in the future, and when Liu Bei is outside, Cao Bao directly leads the Danyang soldiers to repel Zhang Fei, occupy Xiapi, and welcome Lu Bu to move into Xuzhou.
However, it is not enough to talk about things now, Liu Bei diluted the embarrassing atmosphere under his sincere guidance, and then asked Cao Bao directly: "Mr. Cao, where is the angel I just talked about?" ”
Anyway, he had already said it in front of Lu Bu, and Liu Bei didn't care about mentioning it.
"I saw that the angel was very tired of traveling, so I first told that he should be eaten and rested." Cao Bao said.
The so-called "angels" are naturally not the kind with wings behind their backs, but refer to the emperor's messengers.
"According to Mr. Cao, why did this angel come? Is it a real angel, or is it ...... Sent by the remnants of the Dong thief? Liu Bei asked.
When Cao Bao heard this, he glanced at Liu Bei deeply - it seemed that he didn't expect that Liu Bei would be able to have no grievances at all...... At least he asked for his opinion without complaint.
"This person is very embarrassed, and he said that there have been changes in Chang'an, and I think it should be entrusted by His Majesty." Cao Bao said.
Bai Tu secretly turned his mind in his heart, could this be the prelude to the legendary "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes"?
"Chang'an has changed...... Ay! I only hate Xuzhou and Guanzhong Lu Yao, and there is Cao thief separating me, I only hope that Ben Chu can succeed in rescuing His Majesty......" Liu Bei said with some annoyance.
The rudeness to Cao Bao was no different from that before, but at this time, he did not hide his resentment towards Cao Cao and Li Dao Guo Yan, and Liu Bei's sense of sincerity had exploded.
Even Lu Bu looked a little moved, thinking about whether he had a chance to save the Son of Heaven again......
At that time, he was the hero who twice "saved the building and relieved the people from hanging upside down", and he was always the pillar of the Han family who had to run away, right?
"Cao Cao will send troops, but Yuan Shao may not." Bai Tu felt that he should hint at Lu Bu and give up unrealistic ideas.
"Huh? Can Cao Thief do this good thing? Zhang Fei looked at Bai Tu and wondered.
Liu Bei was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, Zhang Fei hated Cao Cao for a long time, and instinctively couldn't get along, and Liu Bei was said to have fought against Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao, and his dissatisfaction with him was inspired by the previous Xuzhou incident.
Human beings are like this, when they hate someone, they think they will not do good things!
"It's not necessarily a good thing." Bai Tu said.
"What? Could it be that he still dares to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven? Zhang Fei glared.
"It must be more respectful than Li Dao Guo Yan, can it be said that it is disrespectful to 'serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey'?"
Since that time to scare Chen Gong, Bai Tu has also learned to choose words and sentences, and he didn't say it so bluntly......
