Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 20: A House Full of Real Men, All Acting Like Daughters

Cao Cao had been observing Liu Yu just now. Seeing that he did not show a trace of complacency on his face when facing everyone's praise, he could not help but admire him secretly.

I didn’t expect that Yunqi, at such a young age, could remain calm in the face of praise or criticism. He is indeed a talented person.

Such a person will surely have a bright future in the future.

After drinking for a while, everyone gradually became drunk, and the topic of conversation turned from poetry to politics.

After taking a sip of wine, Shang Shu Pushe Shi Sun Rui said, "Yun Qi's poem is absolutely right. Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive. I just hope to be drunk forever and never wake up."

"Rui wants to be drunk forever, but he doesn't want to watch Dong Zhuo cause chaos in the government."

After these words were spoken, most of the people sobered up.

During this period, Dong Zhuo burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in Luoyang City. Many princes and ministers died in his hands because they opposed him.

Everyone was treading on thin ice, trembling with fear, fearing that Dong Zhuo's butcher knife would point at them.

When Shang Shu Pushe Shi Sun Rui heard what he said, someone echoed him, "Dong Zhuo is too arrogant and daring. He even dared to force the queen to death and kill the young emperor. With his current actions, isn't he afraid of the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people?"

Someone else echoed, "Not only that, he also stayed overnight in the palace and raped concubines. He is worse than an animal."

"The four hundred years of the Han dynasty are about to fall. Alas, alas, alas."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought of the days when they were walking on thin ice, and they all burst into tears.

Liu Yu was drinking peacefully when he suddenly heard people crying.

She cried loudly and her emotions were very sad, but it didn't look like she was pretending.

He was a little confused. These people were well-read, held high positions, and were well-informed. Why did they cry just like that?

The book says that scholars are good for nothing, and it is not entirely without reason.

If crying was useful, Dong Zhuo would have died thousands of times already.

At this banquet, besides Liu Yu, there was another person who was looking at everyone coldly, and that person was Cao Cao.

He glanced at everyone one by one, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

With such officials in the court, how could the Han Dynasty not be in danger?

Thinking back to the Yongyuan period of the Han Dynasty, the court was filled with loyal and brave people. But only a few years have passed, and it has become like this.

When his eyes fell on Liu Yu, the expression on his face slowly changed.

Yunqi is indeed a real man.

Cao Cao picked up the wine glass, took another sip of wine, and laughed.

The laughter was loud and powerful, and it was particularly harsh amid the crying.

Everyone stopped crying after hearing this laughter.

Following the laughter, I saw Cao Cao's face was full of smiles, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Why is Meng De laughing?"

Yang Zan looked at Cao Cao and scolded.

"Yes, Cao Mengde, what do you mean?"

"Don't think we don't know. Ever since Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, you, Cao Mengde, have served Dong Zhuo like your father. You're just short of worshipping Dong Zhuo as your adoptive father."

"Even if Cao Mengde was being attentive, he was nothing more than a dog in Dong Zhuo's eyes."

Amid the shouting and scolding from the crowd, Cao Cao remained calm and collected, his expression unchanged, drinking sip after sip of wine, as if the person these people were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Liu Yu also secretly admired him in his heart. He was indeed a heroic figure who had made great achievements in history. How many people could have such a magnanimous character?

After everyone cursed for a while, the voices gradually became quieter.

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and then laughed, "I am smiling at all the real men in the room, why are you all acting like girls?"

"You think you can make Dong Zhuo die by crying? That's ridiculous."

Wang Yun said angrily: "Cao Mengde, you have been eating Han's salary for generations, but you have no intention of serving the country. Instead, you laugh at all the officials in the court. What's the reason?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I am laughing at you all for not having any plan to kill Dong Zhuo. Although I am not talented, killing Dong Zhuo is like killing a dog. I will go get Dong Zhuo's head and hang it above Luoyang City for you all to see."

Yang Zan said angrily: "Cao Mengde, you are so arrogant. I don't think you can kill Dong Zhuo. It seems that you are gathering information for Dong Zhuo."

After saying this, he bowed to Wang Yun and said, "My Lord, please drive this lunatic out."

Drive out.

Drive out.

Wang Yun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Fork it out."

When the servants saw Wang Yun's order, they carried Cao Cao and walked out.

Cao Cao held a wine pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

He muttered, "Slow down, slow down, don't spill my wine."

Liu Yu glanced at Wang Yun and saw that he was indeed looking at him. He understood what he meant.

He apologized for being drunk and walked out.

After Wang Yun saw Liu Yu leave, he exclaimed in his heart.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, don't let Cao Mengde spoil your fun. Come, come, come, please drink this cup to the full."

After Liu Yu walked out of the door, he took a few quick steps and saw two servants carrying Cao Cao.

He hurriedly chased after them and gently asked the two to let him go and he would take Cao Cao out.

When the servants saw that it was Liu Yu, and they all knew Wang Yun's love for him, they said nothing more. After bowing, they continued to serve at the banquet.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Yu and laughed, "Yunqi, I knew you would come out. Among all the officials in the hall, no one is worthy of my attention. Only you, Yunqi, are a great talent, absolutely a great talent."

Liu Yu said modestly: "Mr. Cao is too kind. I am here on the orders of the prince to keep you here."

"My Lord?" Cao Cao was surprised. After a moment, he realized, "It seems that my Lord is not completely ignorant. It was I who made a mistake just now."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Cao Gong, please come this way."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "You can go, but you have to bring me two jugs of wine from the table."

"Don't worry, the prince will make arrangements. Please follow me, Lord Cao."

Liu Yu led Cao Cao through two courtyards and arrived at the door of Wang Yun's study.

Sure enough, I saw someone waiting at the door for many days.

The two of them walked into the study, where the low table was already filled with wine and food.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two of them sat down as host and guest.

The two drank several glasses of wine.

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Yunqi, just now I said that killing Dong Zhuo is like killing a dog, aren't you curious about how I can kill him?"

"I would like to hear Cao Gong's advice."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I served the thief all this time just to kill him. Now I have completely gained Dong Zhuo's trust and no one can question me when I go in and out of the prime minister's residence. It's so convenient. Killing Dong Zhuo is just like killing a dog."

"Although Cao Gong can get close, I heard that Dong Zhuo was assassinated before, so how could he not be on guard? In addition, he is protected by Lu Bu. If Cao Gong rashly assassinates him, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Although Lü Bu is with Dong Zhuo, he is not always there. He will always find an opportunity."

"What Cao is worried about is that Dong Zhuo is wearing a set of precious armor, and ordinary swords and knives will be useless."

"I once heard from Cai Bojie that there is an ancestral seven-star sword in the prince's mansion. This sword can cut iron like mud. If I use it to assassinate Dong Zhuo, I will definitely succeed."

Liu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Yu believes that Cao Gong's attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo will not only fail to achieve any success, but will also put himself in a dangerous situation."

"Besides, Lord Cao has the talent to govern the country and the ambition to serve the country, so why would he become an assassin?"

Before Cao Cao could answer, Wang Yun came in from the door. He looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile, "Meng De is very courageous. I was rude just now."
