Guan Yu pretended not to know, pulled Zhang Fei and said, "I recently saw Yuyi with his eldest brother, he should know the reason, let's go find him." So he took Zhang Fei to find Yuyi, who was in the vegetable garden at this time, discussing the dishes with Liu Bei, as well as the planting situation.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he asked: "Big brother, what's wrong with you, you don't care about big things, and you specialize in doing some villain things!" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "What I did is unknown to you. ”

Yuyi stood aside, smiled, and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

One day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not there, Yuyi was still the same as usual, planting vegetables in the vegetable garden with Liu Bei, and seemed to be in a good mood, and suddenly Xu Chu and Zhang Liao took dozens of people to the vegetable garden and said: "The prime minister has a life, invite the imperial uncle to the house for a gathering." ”

Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and he said, "I don't know if the prime minister is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”

Xu Chu said: "I don't know, I just want us to invite." ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to leave with the two, still very apprehensive in his heart.

Zhang Liao deliberately slowed down and fell behind the team, Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Don't worry, it's an ordinary party, it's no big deal!" ”

Yuyi patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and said, "My second brother Guan didn't save you in vain, and our brother owes you a favor." ”

Zhang Liao waved his hand noncommittally and left.

Liu Bei entered the prime minister's mansion with the two and saw Cao Cao, who hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have done such a big thing at home!" ”

Liu Bei thought that the matter was exposed, and his face was like ashes, Cao Cao stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bei's hand, walked to the backyard, and said, "Uncle Liu Huang is not easy to study growing vegetables!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei was relieved, thinking that Cao Cao didn't know about it, so he replied: "I'm just having nothing to do." ”

Cao Cao looked into the distance and said with a smile: "I just saw that the plums on the branches are very clear in color, and I thought that when I went to recruit Zhang Xiu last year, I happened to encounter a lack of water in the team, and the soldiers were so thirsty that I couldn't do it, so I came up with a way, pointing to the front with a whip, saying that there was a piece of plum forest, and after the sergeant heard it, saliva was born in his mouth, and he was not thirsty. ”

Liu Bei disappeared apprehensively after hearing this, and followed Cao Cao to the small pavilion, where the wine and green plums had been prepared, and the two sat opposite each other and drank happily.

The wine was half-drunk, the sky was cloudy, and it was about to rain, as if there was a dragon cruising in the clouds in the sky, Cao Cao and Liu Bei watched in the small pavilion, Cao Cao asked: "I don't know if Uncle Liu Huang understands the changes of the dragon?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big and small, can rise and fall, the big one will soar into the clouds and spit out the fog, and the small one will hide the form, fly up in the universe, hidden in the waves, and now it is the spring deep, and the dragon will begin to change at this time, just like a person who has the ambition to cross the sea." The form of the dragon is like a hero in the world, Uncle Liu Huang has traveled all over the world, and he should be very clear about the heroes of the moment, and I hope he can talk about it. ”

Liu Bei said: "I am mortal with the naked eye, how can I know a hero?" ”

Cao Cao walked over and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said, "You don't have to be modest, just say it." ”

Liu Bei said: "I have been protected by Your Excellency to be an official in the court, a hero of the world, I really haven't heard of it." ”

Cao Cao said: "Since you haven't met them, you should have heard their names." ”

Liu Bei said: "Huainan Yuan Shu, the soldiers have enough food, can he be used as a hero?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Yuan Shu is the person who has rotted into dry bones in the tomb, and I will capture him sooner or later." ”

Liu Bei continued: "Then Yuan Shao of Hebei, the fourth and third dukes, and many old officials, now occupies a large area of land in Jizhou, and there are a lot of talented people under him, and he has plenty of troops, can he become a hero?" After speaking, he observed Cao Cao's expression, after all, his strength was stronger than Cao Cao, and there was only Yuan Shao at present.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Yuan Shao looks very strict, but in fact he is very timid, likes to plan but never implements, always thinks about how to protect himself when he does big things, and forgets morality when he sees some small favors, and he is not a hero." ”

didn't expect to deny Yuan Shao, Liu Bei was a little unconvinced, thinking about what you would say next, so he said: "There is another person, known as Jiangdong Bajun, Weizhen Kyushu, is Liu Biao a hero?" "There is another person, who is strong in blood, known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, and assisted by Zhou Yu, is Sun Ce a hero?"

Cao Cao still shook his head and said, "Liu Biao is just a vain name, not a hero, as for Sun Ce, it all depends on his father's reputation, and he is not a hero." ”

Liu Bei said: "How is Liu Zhang in Yizhou, can he be said to be a hero?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Although Liu Zhang is a member of the Han family, he has no ambitions, he is just a dog guarding the door, and he cannot be said to be a hero." ”

Liu Bei said again: "What about Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, Han Sui and others, are they heroes?" ”

Cao Cao didn't think it was funny, and applauded: "These are some ordinary villains, not enough to worry about!" ”

Liu Bei almost listed all the current state group Taishou, and none of them could be called heroes, so he could only bow down and say, "Except for these people, I really don't know who can be a hero." ”

Cao Cao said: "What are heroes, they must be those who have great ambitions, good strategies in their hearts, and the ambitions that can contain the fate of the universe and swallow the world." ”

Liu Bei was only taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Then look at it this way, who can become a hero!" ”

Cao Cao first pointed at Liu Bei, and then pointed at himself and said, "Now I look at the heroes in the world, there are only two people, me and you." ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he was frightened, and it happened that there was thunder in the sky, and the spoon he was holding in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously and shattered.

The thunder just matched this action, followed by the wind and rain, Liu Bei calmly bent down, picked up the broken things, and said, "I lost my temper just now, but the thunder was a little loud." ”

Cao Cao sneered: "Is the eldest husband also afraid of thunder? ”

Liu Bei said: "I heard that saints will lose their color when they hear thunder, how can they not be afraid?" In this way, the incident was gently covered up.

Cao Cao smiled, thinking about how a person who was afraid of even thunder could become his opponent, whether he was too worried, so he took out his wine and saluted Liu Bei, smiling with disdain.

Liu Bei pressed his head very low, for fear that Cao Cao would have other ideas.

The two chatted a few more words, but Cao Cao was not interested, and after the banquet, he didn't go to say goodbye to Liu Bei, so he left by himself, obviously never taking Liu Bei in his eyes again.

Liu Bei drank all the plum wine and thought, "Maybe we will become old enemies!" ”
