The sky was already dark, and Liu Beijing took me to see Yuan Shao. Liu Bei was able to speak well, saying that I was deceived by Cao Cao, and almost fell into a big disaster and so on, and said that I was dedicated to Yuan and wanted to persuade Guan Yu to oppose Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was quite happy after hearing it. He also knew that Guan Yu was quite arrogant, and ordinary people didn't pay attention to it at all, so it was better to have me going.

However, there was a strategist who fanned the flames behind his back, saying that letting me go is like letting a tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles in the future. Yuan Shao was very angry and scolded: "I don't suspect people when I use people, how can a general do things like this?"

At that moment, Liu Bei repaired the letter and took it to Yuan Shao to see, full of persuading Guan Yu to read it for the sake of the past kindness and righteousness, asking him to abandon Cao and surrender to Yuan, redeem his merits, and protect the Han family together in the future. Liu Bei's writing is very good, and his emotions are real, so I almost didn't leave tears when I saw it. Yuan Shao naturally claimed: "Wonderful!"

So, I went from a tragic assassin who assassinated Yuan Shao to a messenger of Yuan Shao. This identity change was so fast that I didn't feel comfortable with it.

My big sword Liu Bei naturally went to ask me for it back, it is said that the bull-nosed old man of the iron kendo is still unhappy, but I can't lose my meal guy in order to take care of his emotions. This bull's nose martial arts is really powerful, and I will definitely ask him for advice in the future.

After a few parting words, Liu Bei was reluctant and burst into tears. Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei loves to cry the most, and it seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true. When it was finally time to part, I turned my horse's head around and whipped twice, and my mount galloped away along the way I had come.

When I arrived at the edge of the grove, a woman in a yellow shirt flashed out on the side of the road, which was naturally Xue'er. It seems that she was worried about my comfort, and she actually waited here all night. I was so moved that I jumped off my horse and hugged her tightly.

"You're back, and if you don't come back, I'll go to the camp to save you. Xu Qianxue said with a slight cry.

Finally, the two of us were separated, and I patted my chest and smiled: "I'm a lucky general, how can I die so easily?"

When Cher asked what happened last night, I told her everything one by one, and she exclaimed in surprise. said: "That stinky Taoist priest is really hateful!"

"Well, I killed his apprentice, I guess he didn't know it was me, otherwise I would have lost ten lives. I said.

As the two of us spoke, they had already arrived at Xiahoudun's camp, and it was inconvenient to tell him about the assassination. It's just that I'm really bored in the camp in Guandu, and I want to go to Xudu to have a look. Xiahoudun knew that I had a special relationship with Cao Cao, and he had always been free and casual, and he would not stop me. I got my bags so I could eat and drink on the way. I can't see that he is a one-eyed man with five big and three thick, and his mind is also delicate.

Guandu is not far from Xudu, and after walking for two days, he entered Xudu City. After Cao Cao's repair, this small county town has become quite imposing as an imperial capital. I was not in a hurry to see Cao Cao, so I wandered around the city with Xue'er. I saw that Xu Du also built an inner city, which was specially used for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and his palace concubines to live, and outside the inner city, an outer city was built as the residence of civil and military officials. The outer city is quite large, about five times the size of the inner city. After the expansion of Cao Cao, the appearance of Xudu has changed greatly, and the buildings in the city are not only street houses, private houses, and government offices, but also Xuchang Palace, Jingfu Palace, Chengguang Palace, Yongshitai, Yuxiu Terrace, Prime Minister's Mansion and other buildings.

Each is magnificent, although it is not as good as Luoyang before Dong Zhuo's incineration, but it is enough to make people drunk.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of the time have developed the custom of talking about the secrets of current affairs. Streets and alleys, neighborhoods, where there are three or two people, there will be palace secrets, and the situation in the world will become the focus of tongues. If it is a place where people in the city such as the wine shop, the Chunlou Tea Room and the Music Shop are shuttling like celebrities, they will talk even more loudly, competing to release their insights on the most important state rumors at the moment. In the meantime, if there is a high-level argument that shocks the four seats, it will be cheered by everyone. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the scholar system was emphasized, and there were many celebrities who came to discuss politics.

This kind of situation of discussing politics was already very popular, but since Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools, literati with ideals no longer dare to speak. At this time, the world was in turmoil, and all the scholars were in the world, and they all wanted to emulate the famous people in the hundreds of schools and become figures who influenced the course of history.

Of course, this kind of atmosphere cannot be created in a place of leisure, but must be a place of elegance recognized by the market and the upper class celebrities. This kind of elegant place, the gorgeous and precious of the venue and the building are needless to say, all the furniture is almost made of golden silk nanmu, and you will feel a faint fragrance when you enter the door, and the decoration inside is more accurate, in short, there is a "Ya" word everywhere. More importantly, in order to become such a "golden signboard", it must also have three extraordinary advantages: first, it has a long history, that is, the so-called century-old shop, second, there have been several famous emperors here, and it is needless to say that it is needless to say, and third, the most difficult is that the owner of the store also needs to be a celebrity or elegant celebrity. If you can get three of them together, it is naturally rare.

Xu Du has not been built for a long time, and it stands to reason that such an elegant place will never exist. But there is an exception, that is, "Dong Xiangchun", it is said that the owner of this shop is the great writer Cai Yong, he is also an official of the imperial court, I met him many times when I was in Luoyang, but I don't remember any specific position. This old shop, which has been inherited for thousands of years, was originally in Luoyang, but later Dong Zhuo burned the golden gate and was forced to close for a period of time. Later, the emperor was rescued by Cao Cao and moved the capital to Xudu, and this cave Xiangchun also moved over. Therefore, the common reputation of people in the world is that there is only one such elegant place in the world!

In the quietest street in Xudu, Tianjie, there is this Dongxiang Spring Wine Shop. This small street runs north-south, with the palace at the north entrance and Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion at the south entrance, with two alleys leading to the bustling street market in the east and west. Although it is said to be a small street, it is the thoroughfare of the city, and there is no sense of closure. The street is lined with green trees, the street is paved with stone slabs, the pedestrians are richly dressed, and the halls are magnificent. There is no vulgar hustle and bustle of the world here, everywhere reveals the heavenly wealth, tranquility and elegance, just in the middle of the heavenly street, there is a courtyard with green trees and flowing water, and there is a two-story red wooden building with nine bays in the courtyard, which is the world-famous Dongxiang Spring Wine Shop.

It was getting late, and we found out that there was such a good place, so we found the door. After entering the "Dong Xiangchun", I called a place to sit on the second floor, only to see that the table was a long case of green jade, which was extremely luxurious. I haven't seen anything in the world, but Xu Qianxue ordered a lot of dishes that I had never heard of, and listening to the name of the dish, it also reflected a "elegance".

There is a "Politics Hall" in the middle of the lobby, but it is visible to every guest. I only heard that the hall was full of discussions about the general trend of the world, and the biggest thing in the world at present was the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, which was related to the belonging of the north, so most of them said that the battle of Guandu was stalemate.

But I heard a person say loudly: "After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, in order to create a great cause of unification, he promoted tuntian around here, and ordered the army and the people to open up the wasteland and sow seeds to meet the needs of the war." At the same time, he ordered to recruit a wide range of talents, and the main strategists who gathered under Cao Ying's account were Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Du Xian, etc., who made outstanding contributions to Cao Cao. On the other hand, under Yuan Shao's account, although there were Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xian Pei, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others, these strategists did not have the talent to govern the country, and besides, they went their own way, and the strategists were not in harmony, so how could they win the battle? I think that the battle of Guandu was already lost before it was fought. The crowd applauded.

The other stood indignantly and said loudly: "No, Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third duke, there are many scholars and officials in the family, and he has the vastness of the four northern states, and the majesty of a million armor, why is he afraid of Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"

His words were applauded by many people. At this time, every word you say to me is red-faced, and you are very happy to speak. I saw a man dressed in white sitting at the desk, holding a wine bottle, slowly drinking from his mouth. His eyes seemed to be closed, and there was a slight smile on his lips. The white placket is half-open under the waist, the black hair is slightly loose, and the aura of grace and ease pours out, like a prodigal son who is drunk on drinking.

I heard him laugh loudly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

A group of scholars were debating, but a drunkard came out and said "ridiculous" loudly, how could it not make people angry? The next scholar stopped talking and hurriedly rushed to the prodigal son in anger, saying: "Brother Tai said that we are ridiculous?"

"Exactly. The prodigal son did not know whether he had drunk too much wine or was arrogant by nature, and he was not afraid of being beaten. The scholar rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "Since we are ridiculous, what do you think?"

The prodigal son drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, slowly stood up, and said, "Let me say that Cao Cao has ten victories, but Yuan Shao has ten defeats." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and there was a lot of discussion. The scholar scolded: "Who wouldn't bluff people with big words? If you have real talent and real learning, you can tell me which ten wins and ten defeats are!"

The prodigal son shook his feather fan lightly, walked to the front of the wine shop, and said, "Since Brother Tai wants to ask, I will tell you that it is okay to wait." "The tone is terrifying.
