Everything came according to Liu Bei's plan, and everything did not exceed Liu Bei's expectations.

More and more people attended the banquet, and the debate conference became more and more lively, and Yuan Shao's banquet had the same status as the traditional place where the debate conference was held.

Yuan Shao's status has become different from before, and the name Yuan Shao has become louder, faintly becoming the number one firepower exporter of the Yuan family in Runan.

This made Yuan Shao particularly happy, and also made Cao Cao admire Liu Bei very much.

"In the past, we also planned to attract more people to join us to fight against the eunuchs, but the cruelty of the eunuch party made many scholars dare not participate at all, and we couldn't confront the eunuchs, but Xuande's plan made the fight against the eunuchs rejuvenated."

Cao Cao privately invited Liu Bei to dinner, raised a glass to Liu Bei, and admired Liu Bei's planning and organizational skills very much.

Liu Bei raised his glass in return, then smiled and shook his head.

"Despite this, there are still a few people who are really willing to join us and others to fight against the eunuchs, most of them are just here to make a name for themselves, if something really happens, don't think about expecting them to charge, it is still debatable to wave the flag and shout."

"Hahahahahaha, Xuande's witty words are straight to the hearts of the people."

Cao Cao laughed, then put down his glass and sighed.

"Everyone knows everything, in fact, they don't need too many words, they are all willing to come here to make a name, and they are coming for the reputation of the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, even if it is you and me, is it ......?"

"The same, for the fame of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family."

Liu Bei ate a piece of roasted mutton with spices, the smell was neutralized by the spices very well, and the umami of the mutton was stimulated to a large extent, and the taste was quite good.

Otherwise, why did the ancients use fish and sheep as fresh?

"Xuande is honest!"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Then if we are targeted by the eunuchs and are embarrassed by us, we must be exterminated, what should Xuande do?" ”

"What will Mengde do?"

Liu Bei swallowed the mutton in his mouth and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"You can't resist hard, you can only avoid the rivers and seas."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "When I was full of spirits, I always had to wash away the shame on my body, so I first entered Zhang Rang's house to make some mess, and then beat Uncle Jian Shuo, which is nothing more than a young man's spirit, and time has passed, and I know how much the family has borne for me behind my back."

Now I understand, even if I am not afraid, I must also consider my family and people, once the eunuch decides to attack, he will not only kill himself, but also kill his family and people, how many party members and people who provide shelter for party members have been wiped out over the years.

So I don't dare to continue to fight blatantly with it now, I can only avoid under the wings of the Yuan family to make suggestions, if the eunuch really comes to the Yuan family, I can only go out of the starry night to run to Luoyang, far away from the rivers and seas, anyway, the eunuch can't chase far. ”

"Meng De, have you ever thought about why the eunuchs have repeatedly won against the scholars, so that the scholars can't confront them head-on?"

Liu Bei ate another piece of mutton and looked at Cao Cao with interest.

He wanted to test Cao Cao's political consciousness, and he also wanted to test whether the current Cao Cao had opened his heart to him.

It turns out that the current Cao Cao is a very honest person, and he is also open to Liu Bei.

"Of course, behind the eunuch stands the Son of Heaven, we seem to be against the eunuch, but in fact we are against the authority in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, the lord of the world, we are all ministers, how can we have a good end if we offend the king with our ministers?"

Cao Cao told the truth.

Liu Bei nodded.

"In that case, why rebel against the eunuchs?"

"Of course, it's because they're too much, these eunuchs themselves get power in the central government, and the family members rely on their power to get power in the local area, bullying men and women do all kinds of evil, I don't know how many people's wives are separated, how can I tolerate it!"

Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table, filled with righteous indignation, full of anger.

Liu Bei was still calm.

He knew that Cao Cao was not telling the truth, or that he was not telling the truth completely.

But it doesn't matter.

"But there is no eunuch family in my hometown Zhuo County to do evil, but there are also people who take power, bully men and women and do all kinds of evil, I don't know how many wives are separated...... Mengde, I lost my father when I was young, and my mother took me to weave mats and sell shoes for a living, and I have seen a lot of such things in those years. ”

Cao Cao was stunned.

He looked at Liu Bei in a daze, not knowing how to answer his words.

Although he also suffered, it was more of a mental unrecognized anguish than a physical pain that could not be turned over.

He didn't live too comfortably in his little physical life, he was free to roast meat, free spices, free wine, and all the material freedoms he should have, and he was born without knowing what hunger was.

And this kind of pain is something that Liu Bei has experienced and detached.

"Xuande, you ......"

"Mengde, I have been fighting since I was seven years old in order to sit with you and drink and chat, and it took me thirteen years, what do you think I have experienced in these thirteen years?"

Liu Bei smiled and raised his wine glass to Cao Cao.

"In my opinion, whether there are eunuchs or not is actually the same, the competition between scholars and eunuchs is not for justice, but just for the qualification to do whatever they want, bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil."

Cao Cao didn't raise his glass, and looked at Liu Bei with a surprised face.

Seeing this, Liu Bei drank the wine himself, and then laughed quietly: "Actually, everyone knows it in their hearts, but they don't want to say it to the outside world, things are ugly, and the words must be said beautifully, right?" ”

Cao Cao blinked, finally came back to his senses, took a few breaths, smiled and nodded.

Xuande said...... Very honest. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao raised his glass and raised his head to drink the wine in his glass.

Then he put down his wine glass and looked at Liu Bei with a complicated expression.

"Doesn't Xuande hate eunuchs?"

Cao Cao hated his eunuch family to death, so he hated the house and Wu, and he also hated the eunuch to death, although he couldn't become a scholar, but he was already a scholar in spirit, and he could be called a spiritual scholar.

When Liu Bei heard this, he just smiled.

"Instead of saying this, I should ask Meng De, Meng De thinks that after the eunuchs are driven out, the world will be better?"

Liu Bei's inquiry left Cao Cao speechless.

Cao Cao might have replied like this, because in his previous view, eunuchs were the main reason for the decline of the world, and the main reason for the rampant corruption of officials.

As long as the eunuchs are eliminated and the people are prosperous, the atmosphere of the world will naturally return to simplicity and honesty, and the decline of the Han society will naturally change.

But he heard Liu Bei talk about Zhuojun again, which made him doubt his past cognition.

If there are no eunuchs who make trouble, there are people who bully men and women and do all kinds of evil, and if the situation in the world does not get better after getting rid of the eunuchs, then what should we do?

What's the problem?

In this time and space, in the fourth year of Guanghe, the twenty-six-year-old Cao Cao is not the hero who sings about wine.

In this time and space, in the fourth year of Guanghe, the twenty-year-old Liu Bei has completed the seemingly impossible two-level leap from the common people to the haoqiang, and then from the haoqiang to the scholars, and his heart is as cold as iron.

Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world?

Cao Cao should not have realized it.

But Liu Bei was already clearly aware.
