Liu Bei hurriedly looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu did not react.

Liu Bei sighed secretly.

He understood the meaning of Xun Yu's words just now.

Liu Bei walked towards the door, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled at Man Chongqiang: "Let's go!" ”

In the courtyard, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to follow.

Man Chong said to Liu Bei: "Sikong only let me take you alone." ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "We are inseparable from the eldest brother, where the eldest brother goes, where do we go, you can control it?" ”

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Man Zhong deadly.

Today, he smelled danger.

However, he still pressed Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't be reckless. In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, the eldest brother is the emperor's uncle after all, and he will be fine. ”

Liu Bei also nodded at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At this time, it is useless to have two more people to go.

The entire Xu capital is Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao really wanted to kill himself, and it would be of no benefit to bring two more people over.

Liu Bei walked towards the outside of the mansion first.

Full Favor followed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei watched Liu Bei and Man Chong leave.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, what are you stopping me from?" How did Cao Cao know that we were here? Big brother goes alone, in case something happens—"

Guan Yu was about to sigh.

saw Xun Yu come out of it and said, "Sikong called Uncle Huang over this time, it must not be a worry about his life." If yes, there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

Guan Yu hugged his fists towards Xun Yu and said, "Xun Lingjun, please tell us, what should we do?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Jiangdong Xuzhou is in danger, we and Xuzhou are cold, it is best to send someone to lead the army to help." However, now the military generals of the DPRK and China were all sent to the Guandu area, preparing to deal with Yuan Shao's southward march to Xudu. ”

Xun Yu didn't say any more.

Guan Yu hugged his fist towards Xun Yu, pulled Zhang Fei's wrist and left quickly.

Xun Yu stood quietly at the threshold of the hall, looking at the sky.

After a long time, he took out a sachet from his waist and slowly untied it.

There was a pitch-black pill lying inside, as well as spices.

Xun Yu let out a long sigh.

The world thinks he likes aromas.

Actually, it's true to like aromas, but it's true to cover up the poisonous stuff in the sachet with aromas.

In the past, he followed Cao Cao and often encountered crises.

Especially when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou to avenge his father, Chen Gong took the opportunity to rebel, and almost all of Cao Cao's territory was captured.

In order to save Cao Cao's foundation, he hid this highly poisonous thing in a sachet to prevent being captured alive, and then lobbied everywhere to save two counties for Cao Cao, and only then did he make a comeback.

Since then, the highly poisonous object has been kept in the sachet.

Looking at Dan Pill, Xun Yu shook his head.

Hopefully, it won't be used again.

However, Sikong has always been suspicious, and his actions this time will definitely cause disaster in the future.

But what about it?

Could it be that he watched Uncle Huang and the others being wiped out?

The Son of Heaven, at that time, will definitely go crazy.

Xun Yu sighed again, and found a servant: "Go to Guo Jia's house and call him over, the sooner the better." ”

When Xun Yu asked his subordinates to find Guo Jia, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also chased Liu Bei and Man Chong.

Guan Yu whispered to Liu Bei: "Xun Lingjun said that Xuzhou is in danger, and the imperial court wants to help. However, the generals under the Sikong account have all been sent to Guandu to prepare to face Yuan Shao to the south, and only we still have a chance. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Guan Yu stepped back, pulled Zhang Fei aside, and said loudly to Liu Bei: "Big brother, let's go back first." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Liu Bei and Man Chong continued to rush to Sikong Mansion.

rushed to Sikong Mansion, Man Chong did not go in, but let Liu Bei go in alone.

Liu Bei entered the Sikong Mansion alone in his heart, and his heart went up and down.

It didn't take long to see Cao Cao standing in a stone pavilion, watching the three children practice swords.

Mrs. Bian stood next to Cao Cao with a smile on her face.

Seeing Liu Bei coming, Mrs. Bian said to Cao Cao: "Husband, the concubine is going to get some pastries." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Cao Cao pointed to his side and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, come." ”

Liu Bei walked over quickly, stood beside Cao Cao and said, "I don't know if Sikong called me to-"

Cao Cao smiled: "It's just to talk to you." ”

Liu Bei asked: "I don't know what Sikong wants to talk about?" ”

Cao Cao pointed to the three children who practiced swords and said, "Xuande, you make a good sword, which is enviable." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Sikong's martial arts are not bad. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who taught Xuande swordsmanship?" ”

Liu Bei said: "It was originally a martial artist in the county who learned a two-handed sword. Later, I followed Mr. Lu Zhi and studied for a while. ”

Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "Duke Lu, that is a pillar of the imperial court, but it's a pity." ”

Liu Bei snorted.

Cao Cao continued: "I think back then, when Duke Lu was in the court, I always admired him, and even targeted him. ”

Looking at Liu Bei, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Xuande, do you know my dream when I was young?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

Mrs. Bian personally brought a wooden plate with a box of pastries on it, placed it on the stone bench next to the two of them, and then quietly left.

Cao Cao pinched a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and motioned for Liu Bei to eat it too.

Liu Bei thanked him.

Cao Cao chewed on the pastry and said: "At that time, I wanted to be like the champion marquis, and lead the soldiers to the west to fight against the barbarians, completely expelling them from the territory of our Han Dynasty, and protecting the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"I haven't thought about being a big official, let alone being glorious and rich."

"I just want to die on the battlefield and be buried in a horse leather shroud."

"The court erected a tombstone in front of my grave, and the tombstone reads—"

Cao Cao said from the bottom up, with a yearning face: "The tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Zhengxi!" ”

Liu Bei fell silent.

Since he was a child, he has thought farther than Cao Cao.

Since he was a child, he had heard his father talk about the deeds of Emperor Guangwu.

When everyone was still thinking about being promoted and making a fortune, he hoped that he would be able to do the things of Emperor Guangwu in the future, support the Han family, and create another glory of the Han Dynasty.

For this reason, when he was still a teenager, he deliberately used money to buy off a few children, and spread the word that there was a mulberry tree in his house, like a canopy of the Son of Heaven.

This move even alarmed the prefectural order at the time.

It's all in his design.

Unfortunately, the county magistrate did not find out that he was different, but wanted to execute him, saying that he had a rebellious heart.

Fortunately, I met Lu Zhi, who was frustrated in the court at that time and came to Zhuo County to run a school.

Lu Zhi interceded to save his life.

Later, Lu Zhi asked him to study with other disciples under his disciples, learn the art of war, and learn the way of being an official.

Even, Lu Zhi wanted to teach him the way of the emperor.

It's a pity that before it started, Lu Zhi was requisitioned and left by the imperial court again.

After Lu Zhi left, in order to practice what Lu Zhi taught, he recruited teenagers everywhere, commanded them to perform chivalrous deeds, and even went to fight Hu people, and even established a small reputation in Zhuo County.

Zhang Jiao's yellow scarf was in turmoil, he took these teenagers, got the funding of the county horse merchants, and recruited a group of village warriors to crusade against the thieves with enthusiasm.

Everything went so smoothly.

The so-called Yellow Turban thieves, under his double swords, have no power to resist at all.

His record is incomparable even to those court officials.

However, to his disappointment, the imperial court did not reward him equally for this, and only gave him a petty official of Anxi County Lieutenant.

He even confessed!

But the disgusting places of the imperial court are not only like this.

Soon after he took office, the imperial court sent a superintendent to Anxi on the grounds of selecting officials, wanting to remove him from his official position.

He rushed to the post station overnight to inquire about the specific reason, but was extorted a huge bribe by the superintendent.

Looking at the villain's face, he was furious, tied up the post, whipped him, and then fled with the rest of his subordinates.

After the Yellow Turban Yu attacked Xuzhou Xiapi, the general He Jin sent Biqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops, and he also joined them, and met the lead here, almost like brothers.

I also met Cao Cao for the first time in Changshe.

Under the recommendation of Zhaozhao, he won the attention of Master Leyin's friend Biqiu Yi.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Who knows, Le Yin was killed and left, his status in the army plummeted, and he could only leave.

After that, he kept repeating the path of "defection, meritorious service, not being taken seriously, and leaving".

Until now, he had to defect to Cao Cao again.

Looking at Cao Cao, who had exterminated the Yellow Turban together in the Changshe, has now become a prince for a while, and even controls the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei thought of Gongsun Zan and Lu Yi, and his heart was indescribably sour.

These people have all become the princes who are famous and even control one side of the land.

I am the only one who has been standing still.

Chewing the pastry in his mouth, Liu Bei didn't feel a little sweet, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

Cao Cao didn't look at Liu Bei beside him, but continued to sigh: "You know, Xuande, from you, I saw my own shadow. ”

"We have all been defeated and defeated and defeated, and we have never succumbed to fate."

Liu Bei came back to his senses, laughed and said, "How can I compare with you?" It tormented me. ”

Cao Cao turned his head at Liu Bei and said jokingly: "Oh? Is it? I always thought that you were not inferior to me. ”

Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said busily: "Sikong, I'm just a weaver and a peddler, and I don't have any other dreams, I just want to make a contribution, and be prosperous and rich." ”

After a pause, Liu Bei hurriedly changed the topic and said: "By the way, Sikong, I heard that Yuan Shao has gone south to Xuzhou, and the situation in Xuzhou is critical?" ”

Cao Cao hummed and said, "So? ”

Liu Bei said: "I'm fine in Xudu anyway, now Xuzhou is in danger, whether we are the imperial court or the cold lips and teeth, it is best to help Xuzhou." In this case, if Sikong believes me, I am willing to lead the troops to help Xuzhou, and I will never let Sikong disappoint. ”

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei quietly.

He wants to kill the killer!

He was so sincere, but he betrayed himself!

In this life, he hates betrayal the most!

However, he endured it eventually.

Give him a chance one last time.

Now I am also short of manpower.

If he could understand the current affairs, he would have treated it as if nothing had happened.

Compared with the incompetent people who quietly wrote to Yuan Shao under his account, this Liu Bei at least has real talent and learning.

Cao Cao said: "Okay, you are also very well-informed." Since you want to go, I'll give you the credit. ”

Beckoning Mrs. Bian to take a tiger talisman and hand it to Liu Bei, Cao Cao held Liu Bei's hand and said: "This is a tiger talisman of 20,000 soldiers outside the city, which originally belonged to Zhang Yang's subordinates. It's been training for a while, but it's not enough. But now, there are no other forces to adjust. You take this army to Xuzhou, be careful on the road. If you can save it, you can save it, but if you can't save it, then retreat to Shouchun to prevent Yuan Shao's army from attacking Shouchun, and then flanking Xu Du. ”

Liu Bei took the tiger talisman and said with a serious face: "Sikong rest assured, Liu Bei will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to Cao Cao and left quickly.
