At this moment, Liu Bei, who was far away in Chang'an, was also brought over by Cao Cao and returned to Xuchang City again.

Cao Cao valued Liu Bei very much.

He has always regarded Liu Bei as a great enemy, and now that this enemy has fallen into his hands, even if he doesn't kill him, it is impossible to ignore it, and it is best to let Liu Bei stay by his side.

Although if the overall situation is like today, putting Liu Bei back seems to be able to disrupt Liu Qi's plan. But Cao Cao knew who Liu Bei was, and when the time came, he would return to the mountain again.

At the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to break away from Liu Qi, go to Hanzhong to develop, and then compete for hegemony in the world. As a result, after being entangled for so long, he still ended up losing, and even became a prisoner himself.

On the contrary, it is Liu Qi, who has already controlled three states.

Such strength can be called terrifying.

Although Liu Bei is sometimes iron-headed, he is not stupid, everyone is a member of the Han family, Liu Qi is so powerful, Liu Bei's final choice must be to assist Liu Qi to dominate the world.

At most, it is to support the matter of the Zen position.

Before that, it will not cause any trouble to Liu Qi, but will allow Liu Bei to command a fierce general and serve Liu Qi wholeheartedly.

It is better to maintain the current situation.

Let Liu Bei stay in Xuchang, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei help Liu Qi with things, they still have some scruples in their hearts.

Imprisoned again.

What can Liu Bei say?

But he's in a good mood, and these days he's farming in the mansion, which is also an old job.

It's just that Liu Bei at the beginning was to show that he did not have the heart to dominate the world, so as to weaken Cao Cao's defenses, but now the situation is completely different.

Liu Bei had nothing to do in the mansion, and although Cao Cao would not starve him, he had to find something for himself.

At this time, it is a good choice to grow vegetables.

If he had the opportunity, Liu Bei would certainly like to meet Liu Qi. But in the current situation, most of them are impossible, Cao Cao is very wary of him, which is inevitable.

After all, the conflict between the two sides did not take place in a day or two.

In these years, it is good to be alive, and from Cao Jun's movements, Liu Bei has been able to make a judgment.

I'm afraid that Cao Cao was deflated under Liu Qi.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, as long as Cao Cao was deflated, he was in a good mood.

Anyway, Liu Qi is a relative of the Han family and a family.

this day.

Cao Cao came to Liu Bei.

Seeing that Liu Bei was concentrating on growing vegetables, and didn't even notice him appearing, he sneered and said:

"Xuande, it's so funny!"

Hearing the movement, Liu Bei's body was stunned, then he clapped his hands and stood up straight, he looked at Cao Cao and said:

"How come Meng De has time to come here today?"

Cao Cao looked at him and said with a smile:

"Why, can't you come if it's okay, come over to see, is Xuande used to living here?"

Faced with Cao Cao's slightly ridiculous tone, Liu Bei lay flat and said loudly:

"Meng De doesn't know, Bei is quite satisfied with living here, Rong Ma has been half his life, and now he can stop and rest well, which is quite rare, but Meng De is not so leisurely."

I can't walk anyway, so what can I do if I don't lie down at this time?

Liu Bei is still very self-aware, over the years, how many people have wanted to oust Cao Cao, but they have not succeeded, he is now only one person, and he is even more delusional.

It's better to live a relaxed and happy life, maybe you can wait for the day when Liu Qi's soldiers and horses kill Xuchang. When the time comes, he will be able to see the second brother and the third brother, and he really misses it!

In the blink of an eye, almost half a year has passed.

Time is fleeting.

By Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao fell into silence instead, he looked at the well-organized vegetable fields, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Cao Cao definitely didn't want to farm.

But his original intention was by no means to lead troops to fight in the south and north like now, once upon a time, he was just an aspiring young man who aimed to conquer the west.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao would actually do this.

He's already a great man.

But Cao Cao was not satisfied, he wanted to go further.

Short

After the silence.

Cao Cao opened his mouth and said:

"Xuande is used to it, no matter what, you are also an old friend of a certain person, if there is any need, just say it bluntly, how many people are still alive in the world?"

This is Cao Cao's rare feeling.

He did feel this way, twenty or thirty years had passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Those who once knew passed away one by one.

It was already rare for him to be able to see Liu Bei. Of course, a good relationship does not mean that Cao Cao will let Liu Bei go, so let's stay here with peace of mind, maybe one day I can really go out.

On that day, either Cao Cao ruled the world.

Either Liu Qi defeated Cao Cao.

What the final result will be, Cao Cao doesn't know now, but he will do his best to do what is in front of him.

Although Liu Qi temporarily gained an advantage, he was Cao Mengde, and he persevered in the danger at the beginning.

In the end, Cao Cao left a sentence:

"Xuande, it's time to harvest, send some to so-and-so!"

Looking at Cao Cao's departing back, Liu Bei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said indignantly:

"You have to eat and grow yourself!"

After Cao Cao retreated.

The situation between the North and the South has generally stabilized.

Liu Qi didn't attack either, after all, he also needed time to develop people's livelihood. If Japan maintains a state of conquest for a long time, it will definitely make the people of Jingzhou uneasy and the people's grievances boiling.

This is what Liu Qi does not want to see.

Now that all the conditions have been met, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, his strength will increase greatly.

When the time comes, the difficulty will be much lower.

And on the Wancheng front.

Xu Shu and others led the troops back to Xinye first.

Before Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, he only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, and after the conquest and replenishment, the number of people increased.

After a little rest.

Zhang Fei and others went to Wancheng.

He couldn't wait to see Guan Yu, after all, Liu Bei was in Cao Cao's hands, and he couldn't see him now.

After taking Wancheng, Xue Li has been holding a solid defensive line.

The current Wancheng is really solid as a rock.

Defenses are stronger than ever.

Even if Cao Cao's army attacks, it will be difficult to take it in a short time, and Xinye's reinforcements will come in time, and the meaning of Xinye's existence now is to support Wancheng.

The combination of these two cities is very effective.

When he learned that Zhang Fei and others were coming, Guan Yu was also a little excited, and the relationship between the three brothers was not false.

Previously, he stayed in Xinye, but suddenly learned the news that Liu Bei had become a prisoner. The details of the matter were not known to him, and it was difficult to ask them in his letters.

Drinking and this thing are very important.

Soon the two brothers met in Wancheng, but Zhang Fei said with guilt:

"Second brother, it's because I didn't protect my eldest brother."

Guan Yu was silent, he didn't know what to say, according to the known news, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were both broken, of course, they couldn't pay attention to the situation ahead, and there was nothing to do if something happened in the event of an accident.
