Chapter 31
"Liu Bei is definitely not willing to be inferior to others. This person has high ambitions, and punishing Dong Zhuo should be just a springboard for him."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at the three people in front of him who looked upright and upright, especially Liu Bei, who had just shed a few tears when he mentioned that most of the eighteen princes were seeking public benefit for personal gain, and a cold suspicion suddenly arose in his heart. !

When Liu Bian mentioned these three people, he just said it casually, and Cao Cao didn't take it to heart.

But Liu Bei's performance today was really impressive, but it also reminded him of what Liu Bian had said.

Punishment of Dong Zhuo may be his springboard for Liu Bei?Then Liu Xuande's lofty aspirations of not wanting to be subdued by others...is not right...

Cao Cao stood still, his expression softened slightly, and then he laughed and said:

"What Xuande said was actually what Cao Mou had in mind! It's just that Cao Mou is now allied with Changsha Prefect, Jibei Prime Minister, and Hanoi County Prefect. Among them, the manpower was increased or decreased, but what Xuande said really touched Cao, so please ask Xuande to return to the camp for a while, and I will give Xuande an answer after discussing with the other three coalition forces!"

Cao Cao used this as a tactic to delay the attack. If it was an ordinary person, he would have agreed on the spot.After all, how could someone refuse such a sincere defection from others?
But this Liu Guanzhang is different. The difference lies in the fact that the names of the three of them appeared in Liu Bian's mouth and they gave such evaluations. Cao Cao may not take what other people said, but he will now understand Liu Bian's words. Heavy and heavy.

Regarding the matter of these three people, we should ask His Highness before making a decision.

Cao Cao's attitude was beyond Liu Bei's expectation.

Hearing that Cao Cao wanted to delay the matter, Liu Bei hurriedly raised his head and said:

"General Cao must have misunderstood something. Liu Bei definitely didn't come here for meritorious service. This investment is not for industry, but for serving the country. It doesn't matter if Liu Bei is not needed in this battle. Please, General Cao..."

"Okay, Xuande, this matter is indeed as Cao said, it cannot be decided by Cao, please go back, Cao will definitely give you an answer."

Liu Bei almost made it clear that I am here to join you under Cao Cao's tent. It doesn't matter if you don't need me for now, and you can do it in the future, as long as you let me join you, everything will be fine.

But Cao Cao still pretended not to understand, and still understood Liu Bei's meaning as that he wanted to participate in this battle and waved away people.

This obvious behavior of pretending to be stupid caused deep disappointment in Liu Bei's eyes, and at the same time made the faces of the two people behind him look angry.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Hey! You bastard! My brother has already made it very clear...you, don't tell me you look down on my three brothers..."

"Yide! Stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Bei turned his head to stop Zhang Fei, then sighed softly, turned his head and cupped his fists at Cao Cao and said:

"So, Liu Bei understands, then Liu Bei will temporarily return to the camp and wait for General Cao's reply."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and walked out.

After leaving the camp, Zhang Fei was still feeling angry and complained in a deep voice:

"Brother! That Cao man is obviously pretending to be stupid! I think he just looks down on our brothers! He was the one who kicked us out of the big tent back then! Now he treats us like this, it's really deceiving! Brother, why don't you What are you waiting for his reply? In my opinion, waiting for his bastard reply, we brothers still look down on him!"

"Wide!"

Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Guan Yu said: "Just say a few words less. Do you think that what you can see can't be seen by my elder brother?"

"Brother, I think that Cao Cao has a deep scheming mind, and he doesn't seem to like him. Although we defected to him for the sake of the Han Dynasty, it would be too useless to suffer under his hands because of this."

Although Guan Yu talked about Zhang Fei, in fact he was quite dissatisfied with it, especially for Cao Cao, who was the first person to drive him out.

Hearing the words of his two brothers, Liu Bei sighed again. These two brothers were unparalleled in their bravery, but they were straightforward and invincible on the battlefield, but they still lacked experience in politics.

But Liu Bei himself couldn't figure out why Cao Cao had agreed to it at the time, but took it back at the last moment when he expressed his loyalty to the Khan family with righteous words today, and even showed his identity as a clan member of the Han family. , even pretending to be stupid to delay himself in that way...

Could it be... I, Liu Bei, want to achieve a career all my life, is it so bumpy?Even with such a general trend, can't you get on the big boat of making meritorious deeds?
With no expression on his face, Liu Bei waved his hand to stop the persuasion of Guan and Zhang, and then led them out of the camp and mounted their horses, and gradually went away.

……

In Cao Cao's tent, Liu Bian turned to look at Mao Zhihua, waiting for her evaluation of the force of the three people outside the tent.

I saw Mao Zhihua first glanced at Liu Guanzhang and the others from a distance through the gap, and then said:
"Reporting to my lord, the martial arts of those three people are indeed very good, but in terms of physical strength, it seems that Liu Xuande is slightly inferior to the other two, but his demeanor and eyes tell me that he must have his own brilliant means." As for Guan and Zhang, their strength is about the same. If I confront any of these three alone, I am sure to kill them. With the power to protect myself, if the three join forces, I can only temporarily avoid the edge."

"Depending on your current ability."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, Uzhihua's force value of 98 was still shining there.In Unoka's skill introduction, in the last unopened Eight Thousand Transformation State, there is also an attribute that increases the force value by [-].

Looking at Liu Bian's eyes, Uzhihua smiled slightly, and then said: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the lord. Although I say so, if the lord orders me to kill those three people, Uzhihua will definitely not on a mission."

In other words, if Mao Zhihua is serious, Liu Guanzhang can only be her ghost!
"Ha ha……"

Liu Bian laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, said relaxedly: "With you by my side, it seems that I don't have to worry about safety anymore. Now the three of Liu, Guan and Zhang don't need to take it too seriously. What do you think of them?"

As he said that, Liu Bian turned his head away, and Cao Cao just turned around the screen and came to Liu Bian.

"Cao Cao sees Your Highness!"

"Don't be too polite."

Liu Bian put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his hand and said, "Then what Liu Bei said was just and sincere. Why didn't Meng De agree to him? Instead, he used a procrastination technique?"

"Report to Your Highness."

Cao Cao didn't hide anything from Liu Bian, and immediately said bluntly:
"It was because Cao suddenly remembered that His Highness had a high opinion of Liu Xuande, so he changed his mind temporarily and wanted to make it clear to His Highness first, and let His Highness make the decision."

"Let me tell you what you think first."

Liu Bian didn't bluntly say whether it was good or bad, but asked Cao Cao first.

"Yes."

Cao Cao said: "In Cao's opinion, Liu Xuande's combat ability is not yet known, but his motives and political ideas are already very clear. It can be seen that he is indeed concerned about the country of the Khan. If this person can stay in His Majesty’s subordinates, working for His Highness, I don’t say whether they can achieve meritorious service, but at least they will do their best, and their loyalty...should not be doubted.”

After hesitating for a while, Cao Cao still expressed his different opinions from Liu Bian's original evaluation of Liu Bei.

"Your Highness, this Liu Xuande is said to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is considered to be a relative of the Khan family. When he told me in the tent just now that the princes were seeking personal gain, he also shed tears. Speaking of the two behind him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I have also heard that these two are brave, if they can be used by His Highness, it is not too bad."
