Cao Cao felt that he and Liu Bei were very happy to get along with.

He seems to have regarded Liu Bei as his good friend, a good friend who can talk to his heart, and he feels sincerely happy about it.

But......

Liu Bei thought in his heart that it would be difficult for him and Cao Cao to become people all the way after all.

No matter how much he appreciates Cao Cao's shining points, Cao Cao does not have the same underlying vision as him.

Cao Cao never really set his sights on those who were struggling, otherwise he would never have been able to write poetry while slaughtering cities.

He is wise, he is wise, he is forbearing, he is tenacious.

But he is the only one who is unpopular.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao, who was excitedly exchanging literary views with him, and there was no wave in his heart.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.

If you Cao Mengde really feel sad, why did you kill the creatures in Xuzhou?

When you wrote this poem, did you ever think about how many of the 99 percent of those who died because of your brutality?

Surely not, right?

You just wrote this poem to catch up with the trend of five-character poetry, show off your literary brilliance, and show your benevolence, right?

In order to defend the dignity of their parents and teachers, rangers in the late Han Dynasty would duel with those who spoke disrespectfully and killed each other, which was a common trend in the Eastern Han Dynasty under the guidance of the Ram Spring and Autumn Theory.

Cao Cao's revenge on Tao Qian for revenge on his father was in line with the values of the time.

Then why don't you just kill Tao Qian?

At most, punish him for nine clans, enough for you to vent your anger, right?

What do you mean by slaughtering Xuzhou?

If he can't kill Tao Qian because of his lack of strength, he will attack the people under his rule, do you think this can punish Tao Qian?

Liu Bei silently mocked Cao Cao, who was showing off his skills.

This poem is written by Cao Cao, which means the same as the compassion of Nong from the hand of Li Shen.

They all understand the truth, they understand it better than anyone else, they can't understand it anymore, and they all understand the brother, the king, and the master.

But just understand.

Just because you know doesn't mean you have to do it.

They know what to do right, they know what to do to save people, so they decisively choose to make themselves and future generations more comfortable.

Saying and doing are two different things for the well water not to interfere with the river water, and if the operation is a little better, then it is simply parallel lines and will never intersect.

There is a gap between them and the bottom as wide as the galaxy, and except for a few strange things, they can never truly empathize with the bottom.

Obviously, Cao Cao is not a strange thing.

He will only write one or two poems with boundless arrogance to flaunt his benevolence and feelings, and symbolically wipe a few tears, saying that I have been uncomfortable today, okay?

Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, is an official of three generations, since he was a child, he has enjoyed wealth and wealth, and has never had the pain of survival.

His distress was caused by the existence of the fifth and sixth generations of officials who were more senior than him, and it was caused by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

This is a kind of high-level depression, the kind of depression that New Money faces when it faces old money, and it is the depression that the people at the bottom are always qualified to "enjoy".

His anguish was too extravagant.

Even suffering is such a luxury, so they have never regarded the people at the bottom as the same existence as them, and the people at the bottom are just means of production in their eyes.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao in front of him was serious.

Because what he said was very misleading, it may have made Cao Cao think of himself who was discriminated against by Yuan Shao, so that he mistakenly thought that Liu Bei, who had become a scholar, could empathize with himself who was born as a eunuch.

He unconsciously put himself on the existence of a grade lower than Liu Bei, and when he saw that Liu Bei could actually empathize with him, he was moved not to want it, and felt that he had met a bosom friend.

But Liu Bei is just playing on the spot.

Because the most ridiculous thing in this world is that the bottom and the top empathize.

Do you deserve it too?

Liu Bei felt that he was not worthy of himself at the bottom, so he didn't plan to empathize with Cao Cao, not now, and not in the future.

This time, it's just a barbecue, a bowl of old wine, and a useful acquaintance.

No matter how Cao Cao views Liu Bei, for Liu Bei, Cao Cao is a useful acquaintance, and for this, he needs to pay a certain emotional cost.

That's all.

After a pleasant afternoon, Cao Cao felt that he had found an old friend who had been lost for a long time, and his friendship with Liu Bei accelerated like a rocket.

In order to thank Liu Bei for his empathy, soon, the excited Cao Cao arranged for someone to send a year's worth of spices to Liu Bei's family, which was pulled by car.

The eyes of Liu Bei and his family, who were as expensive as gold, straightened when they saw it.

It is worthy of being a local tyrant.

It is worthy of a useful acquaintance.

When you're away from home, the more acquaintances you have, the better.

Liu Bei thinks so.

The day after returning from the friendship with Cao Cao, Liu Bei went to work in Shangshutai, and on the way to accompany Lu Zhi to Yin's mansion in Henan Province to run errands, Lu Zhi spoke.

"Xuande, I heard that Yuan Benchu invited you to meet at his house before?"

"If this is true, what does the teacher have to say?"

Liu Bei thought that Lu Zhi didn't care about this matter, but after a few days, he still asked.

"It's not that it's a lecture, it's not that it's stopping you from doing anything, you're an adult, you should have your own opinions, it's just ...... You know Yuan Benchu's origin, right? ”

"Naturally, I know that the third prince of the fourth world, the Yuan family of Runan, and the family legend of the Meng family are typical of the family of today's literature and scriptures, the family of high families, and the protégés and officials are all over the world."

Liu Bei explained the strength of the Yuan clan very clearly.

Lu Zhi nodded.

"Then do you know why Yuan Benchu invited you?"

Liu Bei pursed his lips.

"Because Yuan Benchu needs disciples."

"Oh?"

Lu Zhi didn't expect Liu Bei to say this.

In Lu Zhi's view, it is his freedom to be friends with whom, and Lu Zhi does not want to interfere, but although Liu Bei is smart, after all, he is young, only twenty years old, and the joints of many things are unthinkable, and if he is not careful, it is easy to become a knife in the hands of others.

How could he, Lu Zhi's personal disciple, casually become a knife in the hands of others?

But listening to what Liu Bei said, he seems to have seen through all this?

"Tell me what you think about this?"

Liu Bei nodded, and told Lu Zhi what he had thought of before about the Yuan family and Yuan Shao's situation.

Especially for some contradictions within the Yuan family, Liu Bei told Lu Zhi his thoughts.

Lu Zhi sighed after hearing this.

Of course he knew all this, and he only knew.

"I never thought you would connect these things on your own...... Xuande, if you are born in a family of valves, your future is limitless. ”

"Even if it's not a family of valve reading, the disciple has the ambition of a man who stands up to the sky."

Liu Bei saluted Lu Zhi respectfully: "The teacher's love has given the disciple the qualification to enter the eyes of others, and the disciple is grateful, but in the future, the disciple cannot rely on the teacher all, the disciple is from a humble background and is unwilling to bring too much trouble to the teacher, so Yuan Benchu's solicitation, the disciple cannot refuse." ”

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei for a long time, surprised by his honesty, and sighed at his honesty.

"Xuande, although I am not the only disciple of you, but your talent is something I have never encountered, you are right, although you are not born in the family of Valve, but if you are born in the family of Valve, you will lose this talent."

"You can't decide where you come from, but you can decide what you want."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Instead of feeling sorry for yourself because of your humble background, it is better to work hard and use all your time and energy to do things that are in line with your ambitions, even if you lose completely, you will not be ashamed." ”

Lu Zhi had nothing to say, and reached out to pat Liu Bei's shoulder.

"Luoyang is dangerous, you must be cautious, but in the final analysis, you are a disciple of the teacher, anyone who wants to make a move on you, you must first pass the level of being a teacher, and the teacher is still a little embarrassed in Luoyang City."

"Disciple remember."

Looking at the high spirits on Liu Bei's face, in a trance, Lu Zhi couldn't figure out the future path of this disciple.

From this moment on, Lu Zhi realized that Liu Bei was not a pure scholar.

It was impossible for him to continue his political career as a pure scholar, and Liu Bei, who was good at making friends, would definitely become a person who could unexpectedly influence the Han Empire.

Compared with his academic talent and achievements, Lu Zhi was surprised to find that this disciple seemed to be more politically talented, and his stage should not be just a debate stage at a cocktail party.

By the way, at this moment, Lu Zhi also thought that Liu Bei was a member of the Han family.

The identity of the Han clan had no meaning when Liu Bei was just a weaver and a peddler, but when he stepped on the political stage and shined, this identity would bring him unexpected results.

What will be the future of this disciple?

Lu Zhi didn't know, but he knew that he couldn't decide the future of this excellent disciple of his own.
