Chapter 153: Cooking Wine and Meeting Hanshui's Covenant
Cao Cao regarded Liu Bei as the great enemy in his life, and he had mixed feelings about Liu Bei.
Because Liu Bei was an enemy of him everywhere, he hated Liu Bei to the core.
And because Liu Bei is his valued opponent, he also admires Liu Bei.
But no matter what kind of feelings he felt, when they met again, Cao Cao's hatred for Liu Bei must be far greater than his admiration for Liu Bei.
Therefore, as soon as they met, he directly insulted Liu Bei as a "shoe seller" and claimed to be Liu Bei's elder.
In the face of Cao Cao's insults, Mi Yang and Guan Ping's faces were full of anger.
But Liu Bei was very uneasy.
He has been an enemy of Cao Cao all his life, has he been scolded less?
But Liu Bei is not a person who will suffer, at least he doesn't want to suffer in front of Cao Cao.
Liu Bei sat on the bow of the boat, patted the deck and scolded Cao Cao with a smile: "Ugly, Nai Weng is here!"
Liu Bei's words drifted into Cao Cao's ears, causing Cao Cao's eyes to narrow instantly.
Since he defeated Yuan Shao, there is no one in the world who dares to scold him for being ugly in person, and this Liu Bei is the only one in the world.
Since Cao Cao insulted Liu Bei's background, Liu Bei used his own way to govern him.
When it comes to his background, although Liu Bei is from a humble background, when it comes to it, Cao Cao's background is simply despicable.
At that time, Chen Lin said in "Asking for Cao Weiwen":
His grandfather often served Teng, and Zuo Yi and Xu Huang were demons, gluttonous and unrestrained, hurting and abusing the people;
Father Song, beggar and raising, because of the stolen position, the money, the right to lose, the theft of Dingsi, and the overturning of heavy weapons.
The most important thing is that Liu Bei scolded Cao Cao as "an eunuch and an ugly", undoubtedly scolding the two nephews behind him.
The two nephews that Cao Cao brought today are Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang.
Cao Zhen, whose name is Zidan, is Cao Cao's adopted son.
When Cao Cao raised an army to defeat Dong Zhuo, Cao Zhen's father Qin Shao recruited soldiers and horses for Cao Cao, and was later killed by Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan.
Cao Zhen has been brave since he was a child, once he was chased by a tiger when hunting, Cao Zhen shot the tiger back, and the tiger fell in response.
Cao Cao strengthened his courage and let him lead the tiger and leopard to ride.
During the Battle of Hanzhong in the 23rd year of Jian'an, Cao Zhen led his troops with a partial general, defeated Liu Bei's general Wu Lanyu, and was worshiped as a backbone general.
Last year, Cao Cao appointed Cao Zhen as the protector of Shu, and the later governor Xu Huang was equal to Yangping Pass, defeating Liu Bei's general Gao Xiang.
Xiahou Shang, whose name is Boren, is the cousin of the late Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west.
When Xiahou Shang was young, he had a very close relationship with Cao Pi, the current prince of Wei, and Xiahou Shang's intelligence was also appreciated by Cao Pi.
When Cao Cao pacified Jizhou, he appointed Xiahou Shang as the military commander, led the cavalry to follow the expedition, and later served as the general of the five officials.
In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was called the Duke of Wei, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Wei regime, the Marquis of Xia was promoted to the Huangmen Shilang.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Daijun Wuhuan rebelled, Cao Zhang was ordered to conquer, Xiahou Shang followed, participated in the military, pacified Daijun, and returned victorious.
Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang heard Liu Bei's insults, and their faces instantly turned red.
….
They are now even angrier than Mi Yang and Guan Ping just now.
But the two of them didn't have a good seizure, because Cao Cao in front of them hadn't spoken yet.
And after Cao Cao was saluted by Liu Bei, he knew that he couldn't take advantage of his words.
After all, compared to Liu Bei, who is faithful and focused on the world, he can be scolded too much.
So Cao Cao also followed Liu Bei and sat down at the bow of the boat.
Since you can't take advantage of it, forget about it.
On the bow of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, there was a stove boiling wine in each of them.
Sit down at Cao Cao
After that, he tapped his finger on the deck of the bow of the ship, looked at Liu Beiyan on the opposite side and said, "Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, but your words are getting sharper and sharper."
"When old friends reunite, won't you introduce the two behind you to Lone?"
After Liu Bei heard this, he pointed his finger at Mi Yang and Guan Ping, and introduced them to Cao Cao respectively.
When Liu Bei introduced Mi Yang, Cao Cao looked at him deeply with meaningful eyes.
He saw Mi Yang's tall posture and sword eyebrows, so he took the initiative to say to Mi Yang: "In the first battle of public security, Mi Lang's name is far and wide all over the world."
"Looking at it today, it is quite similar to Zhou Lang's heroic appearance back then."
"I wonder if your two elders are still safe?"
Although Cao Cao was just sitting cross-legged on the deck, his figure was not upright, but the momentum of a person who had been in the top position for a long time on his body did not disappear.
And on the bank of the river not far behind him, tens of thousands of troops had already gathered to sweep for Cao Cao.
Especially when Cao Cao spoke to Mi Yang, his eagle eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, were always looking up and down Mi Yang's body, as if he wanted to find out what flaws in Mi Yang.
All of these are invisibly putting pressure on Mi Yang.
But Mi Yang is no longer what it used to be, and others may be intimidated by Cao Cao's might, but Mi Yang will not.
When Mi Yang saw Cao Cao asking, he bowed to Cao Cao without being humble or arrogant, and said, "The second gentleman in the family is in good health, and everything is fine."
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then he opened his mouth and said to Mi Yang: "Back then, I was the son of heaven, and made your uncle the Taishou of Yingjun, and your father the minister of Pengcheng.
If they had returned, you should have stood alone today.
And you should not be just a general's ear today."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao, who loves talents, has a feeling of embarrassment in his mouth.
Facing Cao Cao's sighing and dissenting tone, Mi Yang still replied calmly: "Elk should live in pursuit of virtue, not *** generous and tempting."
Hearing Mi Yang's answer, Liu Bei couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing, but Cao Cao just smiled indifferently.
People are going to become.
After laughing, Cao Cao also introduced the two nephews behind him to Liu Bei.
But Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang even have some reputation, compared to Mi Yang, who is the youngest and has the most reputation, they seem a little ordinary.
Liu Bei did not have any interest in Cao Cao's death, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang.
Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Cao Cao, "You called Gu out today, just for this?"
When Liu Bei asked this sentence, the wine in front of him and Cao Cao had already been boiled.
The aroma of the wine begins to linger between the two sides.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao took the initiative to lift the wine jug on the stove, and then poured a glass of wine into his own cup, and he drank it all at Liu Bei.
….
After drinking, Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "The entrance of fine wine, the old people sit opposite each other, it is really a great joy in life."
"I think it's been more than 30 years since the chaos in the world."
"In the past 30 years, the deceased have withered one after another, and to this day, the only person who was with me to discuss the yellow scarf and can be valued by the lonely is Xuande."
"When people reach their old age, they often think about the past."
"I have always had something unclear, and I ask Xuande to solve my doubts."
Cao Cao temporarily put down his identity as the king of Wei at this time, and regarded Liu Bei as an old man he hadn't seen for many years.
And Cao Cao's move also made Liu Bei recall the past.
Liu Bei also poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to Cao Cao, "Meng De, please ask."
This is the first time that Liu Bei has opened his mouth to address Cao Cao's words today.
Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked Liu Bei, "In the first year of Jian'an, Xuande was defeated by Lu Bu, and he came to Xu Du Benwu."
"On the day of Xuande to Xudu, I funded the soldiers, horses, money and food, and the Son of Heaven ordered Xuande to be General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu, which can be said to be a good treatment for Xuande."
"When I was in Xudu, I treated Xuande as an old friend and a friend."
"Every feast and drink must summon Xuande, and every wine must divide Xuande.
At the beginning, my confidant Zhongde persuaded me to kill you, and my arm Feng Xiao advised me to put you under house arrest, but I did not agree."
"But why did Xuande betray me in the end?"
"Is this the benevolence that Xuande has always claimed?"
In the end, Cao Cao slammed the wine glass in his hand on the deck, which shows how deep the hatred in his heart is for this matter.
Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Liu Bei's face showed a little disdain, and he asked Cao Cao: "After many years, Meng De still can't figure out this matter, so Meng De will definitely have no regrets."
"Then today I will solve Mengde's doubts."
"In the first year of Jian'an, I was broken by Lu Bu, and I went west to Mengde, and Mengde treated me well."
"At that time, I also knew that Meng De was not thin on me, he was not only a person who valued me, but also valued my reputation in Xuzhou, and wanted to use it to compete with Lu Bu."
"But I don't care about this, as long as Meng De can support the Han family and rebuild China, what does it matter if I work for Meng De?"
"But Meng De still remembers, did you promise me anything outside of Xu Du that day?"
"Weishui Tangtang, at the edge of Weishui, you promised me that you would support the Han family, and you promised me that you would not slaughter the city again."
"But what about the end?"
"In the third year of Jian'an, you went east to conquer Lu Bu, I went out with the army, and Pengcheng went down because of my fame."
"But in order to show off your martial might and deter Lu Bu, you actually ordered the slaughter of the city."
"How innocent are the people of Pengcheng?"
"Since that day, I have known that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change."
"From that day on, I was determined to avenge those innocent people."
"Though I am soft-spoken, and though I have fought to the death, I will avenge the terrible deaths of the people."
Liu Bei's answer made Cao Cao stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Cao Cao's laughter was full of ridicule, incomprehension, and unworthiness to himself.
He had waited for so many years for an answer, and it would be this in the end.
"Xuande, this is a world of great controversy!"
"In a world of great contention, the strong are respected."
"There is the Yellow River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, and the endless flow is full of heroic blood."
….
"And the common people?"
"In order to achieve a great cause, in order to achieve an end, the means are not important, but the result is important."
"Do you know why you've been defeated by me?"
"Because in troubled times, domineering comes first, and the royal way you believe in will not work."
In the face of Cao Cao's ridicule and questioning, Liu Bei's face was still firm.
He looked at Cao Cao and said in a resolute tone:
"In troubled times, it is people's hearts that are in turmoil. Therefore, if you want to settle the world, you must first fix people's hearts."
"And the foundation of the human heart lies in following the royal way, practicing filial piety, and maintaining loyalty and wisdom."
"Prepare to the end, there is no great talent. But he also knows that the world is in turmoil, and the sin is not in the people."
"It's not that you don't know the power and strategy, it's not that you don't know the art of domineering, but you are ready to start the army on the same day, not to take over the world, but to secure the world."
"Whoever harms the people, and whoever disturbs the Han family, Bei will regard him as a mortal enemy."
"I have no long things, no worries, and I have meager talents, so I have suffered several betrayals and failures."
"But no matter how many betrayals I experience, my original intention will not change."
"No matter how many failures I experience, as long as I can spare one life, I will not give up on my ambition."
"Regardless of whether the royal road is suitable for the world, since I have chosen this path, I will unswervingly continue to walk until I die."
Liu Bei's words fell in Mi Yang's ears behind him, and a huge feeling appeared in Mi Yang's heart.
Today, he is not like in his previous life, in the cold history books, in some grandiose marketing accounts, to speculate about Liu Bei's personality.
He was standing behind Liu Bei today, and then heard Liu Bei explain his intentions with his own ears.
Undoubtedly, this personal experience
The shock brought by the calendar is something that Mi Yang has never experienced before.
Is this Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty?
Only Mi Yang from later generations knows that what Liu Bei said today is not a moment of anger, nor is it a win over people's hearts.
He is really using his life, and his life is practicing the righteousness he pursues.
The cause of his death in history is also because he waged a war of benevolence and righteousness.
Liu Bei eventually died on the path he was pursuing.
But Liu Bei's words fell on Cao Cao's ears, only causing him to chuckle.
How many years have passed, Liu Bei is still so naïve.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both heroes in the world, so naturally they will not be affected by each other's words.
But Cao Cao faced Liu Bei's indomitable attitude, and he couldn't help but admire Liu Bei in his heart.
Cao Cao saw his own shadow from Liu Bei's body.
Liu Bei has fought endlessly for the ideals in his heart all his life.
And isn't he Cao Cao, too, fighting endlessly for the ambition of dominating the world in his heart?
Since ancient times, there has never been anything for generations, and the only thing that can be passed on forever is the ambition in the heart.
At this time, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy and indifferent, as if a shower was coming.
Cao Cao looked at the cloudy sky, and he found that there was a place in the dark clouds in the sky that looked like two heavenly dragons hanging and fighting.
Feeling something, he pointed to that place and said to Liu Beiyan:
"Dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden;
Ascending soars into the universe, and concealment lurks within the waves."
"In the early spring of this year, the dragon changes with the times, and the Jews have the will to cross the seas."
"Dragons are things, comparable to heroes of the world."
"Today's heroes, only Xuande and Cao'er."
"It's a pity that if the two dragons fight, they will lose both."
"Now that the two armies have been fighting each other for a long time, and the soldiers and civilians on both sides are exhausted, it is better to stop the army for the time being and fight again in the future."
"Today, you and I will meet in wine, and it may be passed down as a good story."
"Now I take the wine as the guide, the dragon as the metaphor, and the Han water as the boundary, and I am willing to make a covenant with Xuande to stop the army, and the two families can strike the army together to recuperate."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao raised the wine in front of him and saluted Liu Bei, "I don't know what Xuande wants?"
Faced with Cao Cao's proposal for the two families to strike together, Liu Bei was not too surprised.
Because since the defeat of Sun Quan's army, it is normal for Cao Cao, who is difficult to support himself, to want to withdraw from the army.
It's just that Liu Bei didn't immediately accept Cao Cao, he was thinking about the pros and cons.
Liu Bei thought of Jingyi and Liangzhou now, because the people were tired after years of war, and they really needed to recuperate.
And if you want to defeat Cao Cao, it is not a temporary achievement, without the support of strong national strength, the migration is long, and the variables are unpredictable.
Moreover, there are still many hidden dangers to deal with in Jingzhou.
Therefore, Liu Bei finally raised his glass to Cao Cao:
"Then take Hanshui as the boundary, and you and I will stop fighting for the time being."
