Chapter 65: Green Plum Boiled Wine

Dong Cheng, is the nephew of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and the father of Emperor Han Xian's concubine Dong Guiren.

He is in control of the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven.

But I don't know if it's loyalty in the wrong place, or if he is ambitious and unwilling to do this, in the original book, he united with Liu Bei and wanted to kill Cao Cao in the name of "Cloth and Belt Edict".

Unexpectedly, the conspiracy was revealed, and Cao Cao killed all the henchmen.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, saw that the situation was not good, and escaped from Xudu in advance.

Before leaving, he also took that "edict with clothes", and later Sun and Liu united to fight against Cao, and Liu Bei mainly issued the edict and his name of "Uncle Liu Huang".

As for the soldiers and horses, there are only a few thousand, which is not worth mentioning compared to Jiangdong.

"What if I'm willing, what's if I'm unwilling?" Li Xing frowned.

Speaking of which, from the perspective of modern people, it doesn't matter whether Liu Xie continues to be the emperor or Cao Cao usurps the throne, it doesn't matter, it's none of his business to leash a dog on the dragon chair.

Whoever is the emperor anyway, he will not bow down.

With his current strength, he can come and go freely in the army, and no one can do anything to him.

But is peace in Xuchang easy now?

There is Yuan Shao in the north, Sun Ce in the east, and it is still far from the stability of the world, and at this time I can't wait to get rid of Cao Cao, once Cao Cao is dead, what will the world look like?

Cao Cao has a saying that is very right: If there is no him, how many people in this world must be called emperors and kings?

Therefore, he was very disgusted with this Dong Cheng.

If he hadn't known that this thing would be a dead man in a short time, I'm afraid he would have been rewarded with a shot on the spot.

It's just that Dong Cheng didn't know Li Xing's thoughts, and when he saw him frowning, he thought that Li Xing was unwilling to be controlled by Cao Cao's military power of the Shanshui Army, and said with a smile: "General, rest assured, it won't be long before the Shanshui Army will return to your hands." ”

After that, he carried a wine jug and left satisfied.

Let Li Xing: "??? ”

I'm afraid this person is not stupid, is he?

Then, Dong Cheng ran back to his seat and chatted with Wang Yue, who was also in charge of the forbidden army next to him: "Brother Wang, Dong Zhuo stayed in the palace at night that day, and the eight hundred ministers dared not speak out, but only you stepped forward, I will toast you here!" ”

When Wang Yue heard this, he said politely: "Where the duty lies, it is incumbent on him." ”

His faithfulness, there is no doubt about it.

If it weren't for Li Xing's action, maybe this "Sword Saint of the Late Han Dynasty" would have died in that battle.

"But Brother Wang, it was you who stepped forward to meet Lu Bu, Qiankun castrated Dong Zhuo, and the person who met Lu Bu outside Luoyang City was Li Shanshui." Dong Cheng said: "But now? Cao Cao became the prime minister, but you are just a small guard commander, and Li Shanshui has no official position, and even the military power was taken away by Cao Cao. ”

After a pause, he said, "Why? ”

Let Wang Yue: "......"

He actually wanted to tell Dong Cheng that he didn't like to fight, so he became a guard.

but peace, and not iniquity.

And Li Xing, that guy didn't take "soldiers" seriously at all, he was "cultivating" from beginning to end, and he would pursue immortality in the future, and he had no intention of power at all.

However, he was not familiar with Dong Cheng and didn't want to say more.

But his silence was misunderstood by Dong Cheng, and he said with a smile: "Tomorrow in the palace, the Son of Heaven will hold a private banquet, and General Wang will be invited to appreciate it at that time." ”

made Wang Yue even more speechless.

It's just that before he refused, Dong Cheng carried the wine jug again, pretended to be drunk, and came to Liu Bei's side.

whispered: "I have persuaded Li Shanshui and Wang Yue, and the big thing has been done!" ”

Liu Bei: "??? ”

This Dong Cheng actually persuaded Li Xing in just a few words, is it so powerful?

……

Interested in wooing the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang, Zhang Fei's wedding banquet was paid for by Cao Cao, and the flowing water banquet was held for three days and three nights, and the scene was even the largest in the capital.

It is even more exaggerated than when Lu Bu married Diao Chan.

After that, Guan and Zhang's relationship with Cao Cao was obviously much better, and they were no longer as hostile as before.

Occasionally, he even came to Caofu.

Like today.

Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and the others to play chess with Cao Cao.

It just so happened that Li Xing and Lu Bu were also there.

"The green plum season is a good day, why don't we pick some plums by ourselves, and everyone can cook wine and drink freely?" Cao Cao said.

Li Xing nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay! ”

Green plum boiled sake, huh?

"I've quit drinking, so I won't drink with you, but I can help pick plums!" Lu Bu said, taking out a slingshot.

As he became more and more familiar with Li Xing and others, he found that his surrender this time was really a very good choice - compared with other places, Cao Cao was rare here, and there was a "human touch".

Li Xing's presence makes Cao Cao seem very approachable.

There is nothing dirty in Cao Ying, everyone is their own people, and they get along very happily.

In addition, more importantly, because he has never killed Lu Bohao or slaughtered the city, Cao Cao at this time has not transformed into a "traitorous male", but more of a "competent prime minister" flavor of Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, although Lu Bu was idle during this time, he lived very comfortably.

Coupled with the abstinence from alcohol, people are also more energetic.

"You can also make a slingshot?" Li Xing was surprised.

That thing was very powerful and very weak, and he thought that Lu Bu would not touch it.

After all, even in the afterlife, it is just a child's toy.

For Li Xing's consternation, Lu Bu smiled and said: "At the beginning, my family was poor and had no money to buy bows and arrows, so I used my homemade slingshot to practice archery, and used my own dung rake to practice Fang Tian's halberd, so that I have today's archery and martial arts. ”

Let Li Xing: "......"

Is that okay too?

He can only say that some people really appreciate food from God!

However, pretending to be forced, modern people are doing it!

"It's all the same. When I was a child, my family was also poor and couldn't afford to buy pen and ink, so my mother brought me a pot of sand and let me practice calligraphy on it with a tree branch. This is an allusion to "Yue Fei" on himself.

Everyone who heard it sighed again and again.

Then, after laying down the plums, Li Xing barbecued with Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and others.

And Liu Bei and Cao Cao, playing chess, also started that classic scene:

"You say, who in this world is worthy of a hero?"

"Peerless God General Li Shanshui?"

"Shanshui is heroic, it is true that there is no match in the world, but he is not here, it doesn't count!"

"Yuan Shao?"

"Dry bones in the grave!"

"Sun Ce?"

"Reckless one!"

"Liu Biao."

"I won't live long."

"That?"

"Heroes of the world, for Liu Zhijun and Cao!" Cao Cao said.

Liu Bei was taken aback.

"Could it be that Dong Cheng secretly contacted himself and wanted to join forces to kill Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao also noticed the change in Liu Bei's expression, but coincidentally, at this time, there was a sudden thunder on the ground, which made Liu Bei, who had recovered from it, prevaricate under the pretext of "being frightened by this thunder".

Li Xing also saw it in his eyes.

It's just that one of the two parties is Cao Cao and the other is Liu Guanzhang, who are you helping?

He simply didn't say anything.

When not knowing.

And Liu Bei, after leaving Cao Cao's mansion, immediately said to his second and third brothers: "Go, this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”

"Why?" Guan Yu asked.

Didn't Dong Cheng say that Li Shanshui and Wang Yue would join forces to kill Cao Cao?

"I don't believe it!" Liu Bei shook his head and said: "You and I know Li Shanshui very well, is he the kind of person who will stab his confidant in the back?" Even if he really turned against Cao Cao, he would do it directly, and it would never be possible to unite with Dong Cheng! ”

"So?"

"That Dong Cheng is mediocre and incompetent, and he thinks of others too simply!"

……

On the other side, at the dinner, there were only three people: Li Xing, Cao Cao, and Wang Yue.

These are the first three people to "assassinate" Dong Zhuo together, and they are also the three core veterans of Cao Ying - although the military power of the "Shanshui Army" is in the hands of Cao Cao, and Wang Yue is even more of a mediocre "guard commander", but Li Xing and Wang Yue's status in Cao Ying has always been very detached.

Only in front of Li Xing and Wang Yue will Cao Cao reveal his truest side.

"Shanshui, even Zhang Fei is married, do you have a satisfactory girl?" Cao Cao quipped.

In this regard, Li Xing smiled and said, "What, you want to give a matchmaker?" ”

"If you like it, I'll be able to tell you."

"Really?" Li Xing thought for a moment and said, "My favorite person is a fairy who is not stained with mortal dust!" She is immortal, and cherishes every time, she doesn't care about everything in the world, and she can cherish all the beauty in this world. The most important thing is to be able to keep up with my footsteps, thousands of worlds, life and death! ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was immediately stunned.

said angrily: "If you don't want to marry a wife, just say it!" ”

Let Li Xing: "......"

You can't introduce such an object, so just say it!

Don't pass the buck!

"Mengde, you don't have to make excuses for your incompetence!"

"Nonsense, where is there such a woman in this world?"

"It's you who are lonely and unheard!"

"It's your whims!"

The two chatted, talked nonsense, and had a lot of fun.

It's just that Wang Yue was drinking alone there.

I haven't been talking.

"What's wrong with Brother Wang? Lu Fengxian has quit drinking, why are you drinking again? Li Xing asked.

Hearing this, Wang Yue said drunkenly: "The wine is good, a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows!" ”

made Li Xing and Cao Cao stunned.

"What's so bothering?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"You'll find out in a moment."

Wang Yue continued to drink.

It didn't take long for a spy planted by Cao Cao in the palace to deliver the news to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Li Ru personally delivered it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took it and looked at it, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

After a while, he also poured a large sip of strong wine and laughed quite madly: "Ha, hahaha...... Good wine, let's drink it together! How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang! ”

Let Li Xing: "??? ”

Is this drunken contagion?
