The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 187 Cooking wine and talking about heroes, let the tiger return to the mountain! (two in one)

In the general's mansion, the candles are flickering.

Watching everyone retreat, Cao Cao took a deep breath.

His pupils showed a bright light, and he muttered to himself: "Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."

Thinking of this, he had a plan in his mind. It seemed that he had to pay a personal visit to Liu Bei someday, and he wanted to know Liu Bei's attitude.

Without him, now is the time to employ people, and Liu Bei is a great talent, and he wants to use it for himself.

With a sigh of relief, he strode back home.

In the wing room, a woman came with a maid.

"Husband, I have brought some hot water, let's soak my feet first to get rid of fatigue!" The woman was Bian, who took the wooden basin and knelt down to take off Cao Cao's shoes.

"You go down first!" Cao Cao glanced at the maid, waved his hands and scolded, and then he looked at Mrs. Bian. Although she was in her thirties, she still had a charm, which was quite eye-catching.

After all, the dancer was born and accepted by Cao Cao.

Looking at Mrs. Bian, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Mrs. Yin. This little concubine of his is so tender and ruthless, so why did he give Zhang Xiu away? As for beauties like Mrs. Diaochan and Mrs. Du, he didn't get any, so he was angry!
…………

The next day, it was just dawn.

In a courtyard, Zhang Fei got up with sleepy eyes and looked at Liu Bei who was planting vegetables in the courtyard. Zhang Fei pursed his lips with an expression that was still unfinished.

"Brother, why are you waking up so early? I...I haven't had enough sleep yet." Zhang Fei blamed him a bit. What kind of land do you get up early in the morning? Wouldn't it be good to sleep a little longer?

"Third brother, how can you sleep too much now that you have not accomplished your achievements?"

"A few days ago, I recognized my ancestors and returned to them, but I saw that the emperor was in trouble, his pupils were dilated, and he was full of fear. Being imprisoned by Cao Cao is really the pain of my big man."

"However, the three of my brothers don't think about meritorious deeds, but they are sleepy and busy. They only know how to eat and drink what Cao Cao gave them. Now that their great achievements have not been accomplished, they have come back to life. They are really ashamed of the emperor's kindness."

Liu Bei looked serious, raised his head and said in a low voice.

Looking at Liu Bei's expression, Zhang Fei felt a little guilty, and thought that he would sleep with his elder brother less in the future, since the elder brother is busy with business, then go to sleep with the second brother himself!
But after thinking about it, Zhang Fei said suspiciously: "Brother, since we want to make contributions, what does this have to do with your growing vegetables? Is it possible that growing vegetables can generate troops?"

"Third brother doesn't know, Cao Cao treats my three brothers generously, but he actually wants to recruit us to serve him. Not to mention being brothers, you and Yun Chang alone have undue bravery."

"But Cao Cao is cautious and cautious. He is worried that my three brothers will not be able to serve him, so he will definitely send someone to monitor him. Therefore, he planted vegetables for his brother and pretended to be under others for a long time, so that he can feel at ease."

Liu Bei looked dignified and said in a deep voice.

Liu Bei knew very well that the current world structure was very different, if he left Xuchang with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then he would have no place to stand, and he would still be under the hedge of others.

Now, when Cao Cao is employing people, if he can gain Cao Cao's trust, lead the army to go out, or guard one side, he can save years of hard work, so that things can be done.

"Cao Cao is really not a thing. He even sent someone to watch us." Zhang Fei said angrily, a little annoyed. Originally, he liked this old boy quite a bit.

…………

At noon, Cao Mansion.

When Cao Cao summoned him every day, he saw the servants of Liu Bei's mansion bowing their heads and saying respectfully, "My lord, Liu Bei has not been unusual recently. Oh, by the way, he was planting vegetables in the backyard early this morning."

"Growing vegetables?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

After a little thought, he really couldn't understand Liu Bei. He really cherished his talents, especially Liu Bei. In order to let Liu Bei use him, he specially declared Liu Bei as the shepherd of Yuzhou.

The same as General Zuo.

These official positions don't matter, he wants Liu Bei to see his sincerity, because if he is for his own use, plus Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, why is he afraid of the world.

If not, he had listened to Guo Jia and others' suggestion, and cut Liu Bei with one knife.

"Dian Wei, go and summon Liu Bei, and just say that I miss him and want to talk to him." Cao Cao said heartily, "Also, prepare a banquet in the backyard, and I want to have a good time with him."

"No!" Dian Wei agreed and retreated.

…………

Shaoqing, inside the Liu Mansion.

The three Liu Bei brothers are still eating, and they are also living in petty bourgeoisie. The common people only eat two meals a day, barely enough to eat.At this time, Sun Qian walked quickly.

"My lord, Cao Cao sent Dian Wei to invite my lord to come to the manor to meet."

The corners of Liu Bei's eyes were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was deep in thought, but before he could answer, Dian Wei had already come with his sword in hand, and shouted to Liu Bei in the middle hall, "General Liu, my lord is here to welcome you."

"General later, get ready and go change!"

"It's not a woman, why change clothes?" Dian Wei reprimanded.

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "My lord, it's not kind to come. How about me and my third brother accompany you over there? That's a good way to take care of you."

"No, absolutely not. Cao Cao was already suspicious. If the second and third younger brothers go together, he will definitely think that I am a guilty conscience." Liu Bei directly reprimanded.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei said heartily: "Please, General!"

……

For a long time, the backyard of the Cao Mansion.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao under the gazebo not far away, he stepped forward and clasped his fists incessantly and said, "Bei has seen Duke Cao, but I don't know why Duke Cao called Bei here?"

Liu Bei wasn't happy or angry, but he was a little nervous.

"Hey, Xuande, you are finally here. Come on, sit down." Cao Cao got up quickly, grabbed Liu Bei's arm and said.

Liu Bei was sitting upright, kneeling in front of the case, with no joy on his face, and his whole body was hiding his sharpness, showing weakness to others, for fear that Cao Cao would cut himself off with an order.

"Xuande, come, drink this bottle first."

Cao Cao's eyes are also deep, he looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile, he wanted to see through Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was vigilant. Seeing Cao Cao's toast, he raised his bottle in a hurry, showing fear, and said at the same time: "By taking this drink, I hope that Duke Cao will clean up the world as soon as possible and bring peace to the people."

After speaking, he drank it down.

Cao Cao stared at Liu Bei for a few breaths, and seeing that he didn't find any clues, he immediately smiled heartily and said, "Cao is sure to win the Qing Dynasty. I only wish I didn't have Xuande to help me."

Liu Bei rolled his eyes, looked at Cao Cao, and immediately smiled and bowed: "Mr. Cao is joking, but he can only prepare a commoner garment. In his early years, he made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes."

"Now Bei has wasted half of his life, and his fighting spirit has long been exhausted. He just wants to live in peace and retreat to the mountains and forests." Liu Bei shook his head and said, with a look of despair on his face.

"What's more, Mr. Cao's military generals are like clouds, counselors are like rain, and Liu Xuande is a mere mere Liu Xuande. How dare Mr. Cao remember him. If Mr. Cao insists on keeping the backup to help, you can let Mr. Cao have any county magistrate to govern the place for Mr. Cao. force."

Liu Bei had a look of shame on his face.

He panicked, this is a proposition.

Looking at Liu Bei's humility, Cao Cao frowned slightly. Could it be that he was worrying too much?However, he is suspicious by nature, so he still dare not judge Liu Bei's ambition.

After a little thought, Cao Cao had to set up a stumbling block, and immediately said with a hearty smile: "Xuande is really too modest. By the way, Xuande, you have traveled all over the world and read countless people. You must have recruited many heroes. Tell me, do you think the world today Who can be called a hero?"

Liu Bei's pupils shrink slightly, what does Cao Cao mean by this?Still testing him?Immediately bowed timidly and said: "Mr. Cao's words are serious. If you have a pair of vulgar eyes, how dare you judge the heroes of the world."

"It's okay, just talk about it."

"Then... Bei dare to say a few words." Seeing Cao Cao's insistence, Liu Bei immediately said, "Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who was very prosperous at one time, once competed with Yuan Shao in Hebei, can he be called a hero?"

"Hehe, Gongsun Zan is nothing more than a dead bone in the tomb. Now that he is trapped in Yijing, he will be destroyed by Yuan Shao sooner or later. How can he be a hero?" Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"What about Yuan Shao in Hebei Province? His ancestors are four generations and three princes, and now he is sitting in Jizhou thousands of miles away. He has thousands of generals under his command, has enough soldiers and food, and has the potential to swallow the world. Can he be a hero?"

Liu Bei asked instead.

"Yuan Shao, who is fierce but timid, hard to decide when things happen, cherishes life when he does great things, and looks for righteousness when he sees small gains, is by no means a hero." Cao Cao said, raising his glass and drinking.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. Yuan Shao was powerful and dominant, but Cao Cao said he was useless?The key is what Cao Cao wants to express.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei said again: "Then Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, can these two be heroes?"

"Haha, Sun Ce just borrowed his father's fame, and the land he took was mediocre. Xuande can see that he captured Lujiang? But he was beaten by Zhang Xiu and fled."

"As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, he is a successful person who is doing nothing. How can he be called a hero?" Cao Cao said cheerfully.

"There is one person who can be called a hero."

"Jingzhou Zhangxiu, in just two years, he has developed from a few thousand soldiers to a hundred thousand soldiers. Now sitting in Jingzhou, he has defeated many heroes. He must be a hero."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao meaningfully.

Zhang Xiu had defeated him many times. If he was not counted, Liu Bei really didn't know what Cao Cao was up to.

Hearing Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao twitched the corner of his mouth, and immediately shouted: "Zhang Xiu and his ilk are just reckless men from Xiliang, if Liu Jingsheng hadn't been stupid, how could he have allowed him to become big?"

"What's more, with Jia Xu helping him, he can only be considered a half-hero."

"Half?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, he can be regarded as half a hero at most. A hero should be able to rule the people, he should be able to control thousands of troops, and he should be able to recognize the loyal and virtuous. Only in this way can he be a hero."

"As for the heroes in the world today, only Xuande and I, Cao Cao, can be called heroes." Cao Cao said loudly, his eyes fixed on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned, feeling terrified in his heart. Cao Cao was comparing himself with him, and the intention was self-evident, obviously doubting that he still wanted to stand on his own.

pat,

When the bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground, Liu Bei came to his senses and picked them up. He said sincerely, "Mr. Cao's words are serious. How dare you compare Bei with Mr. Cao. I hope Mr. Cao will not break evil."

Liu Bei bowed his head, while Cao Cao stared at Liu Bei closely with his eyes bare. After a long time, Cao Cao finally smiled and said, "Xuande, would you like to help me rule this troubled world?"

"Mr. Cao's words are serious, and he is willing to do his best in everything he can." Liu Bei said humbly.

"Xuande, to be honest, there are two things that bother me right now. One, Xuzhou is newly settled, and the prefect of the county he serves is not popular with the people."

"Secondly, I want to send generals to enter Guanzhong, but I don't have any generals under my command to deter the powerful people in Guanzhong, and it is even more difficult to deter the princes of Xiliang and Qiang Di."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with burning eyes, and said sincerely: "I have heard for a long time that when Xuande was the shepherd of Xuzhou, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they praised him all the time. If I can be the shepherd of Xuzhou, my heart will be at ease."

"Maybe Xuande will lead the army westward for me and enter the main Guanzhong. Your second brother Guan Yu has the courage of a million men. He once beheaded Xiliang's fierce general Hua Xiong and became famous in one battle."

"And your third brother, Zhang Fei, fought fiercely against Lu Bu. With your three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang marching into Guanzhong, it is expected that all the tyrants, princes, and Qiang Di in Xiliang will be in awe."

"I don't know if Xuande is willing to help me." Cao Cao said sincerely, his eyes were fixed on Liu Bei's expression, as long as he saw a trace of joy, Liu Bei would be chopped into flesh.

However, Liu Bei's city was very deep, and he said repeatedly: "Mr. Cao's words are serious, and he spends half his life doing nothing. If he governs the states and counties, the states and counties will be lost, and when he marches and fights, he will be defeated everywhere."

"Being so mediocre, how dare you share your worries for Cao Gong, and hope that Cao Gong will find someone else."

"Hey~, now you, Liu Bei, are the only ones who can share the burden for me. How about you lead the army westward today, and I will give you [-] troops, how about taking Guanzhong?"

Cao Cao continued.

"Mr. Cao, don't make things difficult for you." Liu Bei clasped his fists and said.

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't seem to be pretending, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, but instead smiled heartily. He believed in his ability to know people, so he tried Liu Bei so many times without any joy.

I'm afraid it has something to do with my kind treatment during this time.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said loudly: "Xuande, I heard that your wives and concubines were all captured by Zhang Xiu. How can a man stand in the world without his wives and concubines?"

"In this way, in the future, I will ask someone to find some beauties for you. After you return from the Western Expedition, you can marry them yourself."

"Western Expedition?" Liu Bei was stunned, and said anxiously: "Bei has nothing to do, how can he lead an army alone? If Cao Gong insists on letting Bei go west, it is better to let General Xiahou or General Cao Ren be the main general, and Bei will follow Assist, otherwise it will be settled."

Liu Bei's heart was filled with joy, he could feel that Cao Cao wanted to use him this time, as long as he could enter the main pass, he would be able to fly freely without restraint.

"Hey~, my Cao Cao has always been trustworthy in employing people. Xuande will go back and prepare. Three days later, the army will start." Cao Cao waved his hand.

"But." Liu Bei hesitated.

"Okay, Xuande doesn't need to worry too much." Cao Cao smiled brightly, and he was really gratified to accept Liu Bei for his own use.

Not long after, Liu Bei left Cao's mansion.

Along the way, Liu Bei's heart beat faster.

Before that, he could feel Cao Cao's intention of wooing him, and he successively represented Yuzhou Mu and General Zuo for himself, which can be said to be treated generously.

Now he even let himself alone to unite the army, presumably he completely trusts himself, as long as he leaves Xuchang, he will be subject to foreign military orders.

Thinking of this, his steps are light.

Returning home, he glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were gesturing, and Liu Bei said excitedly: "Second brother, third brother, pack up your luggage, and I will lead the army to enter Guanzhong in three days."

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

Cao Cao resisted all opinions and ordered Liu Bei to be the chief general and Lu Zhao to be the deputy general. He led [-] troops and sent troops to Guanzhong.

Outside the city, at the altar.

Cao Cao was in a good mood, looked at Liu Bei and said loudly: "Xuande, I will wait for you to return in triumph. Then you and I will have a good time talking about wine and talking about heroes in the world."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, you will fulfill your mission." On the horse, Liu Bei replied with a determined expression, dressed in armor and with a double-pronged sword on his waist.

"Let's go!" Liu Bei shouted, drawing his sword.

"Hey, you are so confused, my lord is so confused." Watching Liu Bei leave, Xun You shook his head and sighed.

He really didn't understand why Cao Cao, who has always been shrewd, would do such stupid things. If he didn't kill Liu Bei, he would give him soldiers and horses. Isn't this going back to the mountain?
PS: Someone asked why it was written from the perspective of other people, because the reason why the Three Kingdoms is wonderful is that it is not the protagonist. If it is only written from the perspective of the protagonist, it will be very messy.

There is also the issue of alliances. Zhang Xiu's position is destined to be enemies. Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Cao Cao in the Central Plains are all opponents.

Those who can form an alliance are dead, and only Yuan Shao can form an alliance.

As for the content of this chapter, many people may say that my word count is too low. In fact, this kind of content was written very slowly, and I wrote it after thinking about it, because I think it is very important.

For this book, he will change the inherent history, but for Cao Cao in history, it is also something he regretted all his life. If he didn't cherish his talents and kill Liu Bei, who in the world can stop him? Cao Mengde?

There is no charge for the above content, and there are many points that need to be expressed in the main history. I want to express more three-dimensional characters and plots.
