Cao Cao laughed and grabbed Liu Bei's palm and walked straight to the backyard, into the pavilion by the lake in the backyard. At this time, it was noon, and Cao Cao asked the servants to serve wine and delicacies, and then they ate and drank with Liu Bei in the pavilion. Now it's winter, and a brazier is placed in the pavilion, and a large pot of wine is placed on the brazier. The heat is boiling and the aroma of wine is overflowing. At this time, the sky changed. The sky was covered by the rolling black clouds. Then a thunder blasted. In the distance, a yellow lightning flashed from the upper left to the lower right. The sky and the earth changed color as if they were a dragon. It is thriving and raining.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cao Cao's wine prospered, and said loudly: "Nowadays, when the heroes are together, I really don't know which hero will be the last one to dominate the country!" Liu Bei was also ambitious when he heard this. , But his face was as usual, as if what Cao Cao said had nothing to do with him.

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei and asked, "Xuan De is well-informed, who do you think can be called a hero in the world?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "The Prime Minister praised him absurdly. How can Liu Bei know the heroes of the world?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Xuan De is too modest! It's okay to talk about it!"

If Liu Bei is not good enough to refuse, he thought for a while, and said, "Yuan Shao IV and San Gong, whose reputation is unmatched, should he be called a hero?"

Cao Cao looked contemptuous and said with a smile; "Yuan Shao has a great reputation, but he is unresolved and unkind. Although there are many people nowadays, he will be captured by me sooner or later. This man is considered a rich man, but not a hero. !"

Liu Bei sneered in his heart and secretly said: You are very arrogant! However, Yuan Gong has a million soldiers, and his fierce generals are like clouds and ministers like rain, and they will soon be swept in. Then see how you can deal with it, whether you can still be so arrogant and arrogant at this moment!

I thought so, but didn’t show it on the face. Instead, he seemed to agree with Cao Cao’s words, saying: “Since Yuan Shao is not a hero, then Jiangdong Sun Jian is a hero? Sun Wentai dominates Jiangdong, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and Dong Zhuo was right back then. He is very jealous! Now he is even more powerful, with prosperous civil and military skills, and can be regarded as a hero!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and waved his hand, saying, "Sun Jian's dignified man is doing the job of harbouring the jade seal, Yuan Shao questioned but did not dare to admit that such a character is at best a hero, how can he be a hero!"

Liu Bei couldn't help feeling that Cao Cao's remarks had some truth. After thinking about it, he said, "Liu Biao, a clan of the Han family, has been in Jingzhou for many years. I heard that he should be considered a hero for governing Jingzhou in a prosperous place.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Liu Biao is old and faint, with no ambitions. He is barely competent to be a local official, but he is far from worthy if he wants to compete for the unification of the world!"

"Then Guo Bang Li Que Niu Fu can be called a hero?"

Cao Cao mocked: "It's just Dong Zhuo's remnant, the legacy of the Eagle Dog, also worthy of being a hero?"

"Ma Teng sits in Xiliang and fought against Dong Zhuo. Isn't this a hero?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Dong Zhuo is dead and the Guanzhong is in chaos, but he dare not drive straight in such a chance. Where is the hero? I think Ma Teng is brave, but he is just like a jackal!"

Liu Bei lowered his head to ponder for a moment, then raised his head and said: "There is one person who drove me homeless. Recently, he captured Yuan Shu and occupied Huainan! A Fangtian painted halberd was invincible, and his soldiers were discouraged! It's "Red Rabbit in the Horse, Lu Bu in the People", this person is always a hero!"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and smiled and said, "Xuan De is really an upright gentleman. Although my son-in-law is very sorry for Xuan De, Xuan De is unbiased! Rare, rare!"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "I don't want to conceal each other, I actually hate Lu Bu very much, but I sincerely admire him for his ability!"

Cao Cao said: "Lü Bu is not a hero, he is not like us, he is a beast, a beast that can swallow the world! Let's talk about heroes by cooking wine today, not including my son-in-law."

Liu Bei chewed Cao Cao's words, and felt that his evaluation of Lu Bu would be more appropriate than this.

Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Couldn't Xuande think of other characters?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm dull, I really can't think of any other characters!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't you know Xuan De, the heroes of the world, only Xuan De and me!" At this moment, a thunder slammed across, and a loud bang shook the world. Liu Bei was shocked and dropped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand. He calmed down immediately, picked up his chopsticks nonchalantly, and muttered: "I didn't expect that Long Winter Qi would cause thunder!"

Cao Cao asked with a smile: "The man is afraid of thunder?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The power of heaven and earth, how can I wait for mortals not to be afraid." Worried that Cao Cao will continue the heroic topic, he put down his chopsticks and clasped his fists: "The Prime Minister, come here today, I really want to do my part for the court! Now Yuan Shao The army is under pressure and hopes to be able to guard Yangping.” Yangping is in the northeast of Baima, on the north bank of the two Yellow Rivers, which is regarded as the northernmost area of ​​Yanzhou. Once the war starts, it will inevitably bear the brunt.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Great! I just don't know who should be sent to defend Yangping! Xuande is willing to go, it is no better!" Liu Bei immediately stood up, folded his fists and thanked him, "Thank you, the prime minister!" "Cao Cao laughed loudly, and immediately asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote an order, put a seal on him, and then handed the order to Liu Bei. Liu Bei watched it again, bowed to Cao Cao, and left.

Cao Cao was full of wine, and continued to drink one drink after another. He was so drunk unconsciously that he couldn't even remember how to return to the bedroom to sleep.

Guo Jiaxun heard that the Prime Minister appointed Liu Bei to defend Yangping. Liu Bei had already taken the order of the Prime Minister to go outside the city and transferred 20,000 soldiers to Yangping. The two felt bad and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Cao Cao. But the doorkeeper was blocked from the bedroom and said: "Two gentlemen, the prime minister is sleeping fast. Don't trespass." Both knew that once the prime minister fell asleep, no one would dare to be alarmed. Guo Jia said: "This Maybe it's God's will!" Xun Yu said angrily; "Liu Bei looks loyal, but he is actually very treacherous. He will inevitably turn against the prime minister and defect to Yuan Shao!" Guo Jia smiled and said, "This is not necessarily a bad thing. I am most worried about this. In fact, it was Liu Bei who stayed in Xuchang and Yuan Shao secretly communicated with Yuan Shao. Now that he left on his own initiative, there is one less trouble."

Xun Yu frowned for a moment, thinking, and asked: "Should you and I ask General Xu Chu to lead his army to recover Liu Bei? I lost 20,000 soldiers and horses for no reason and lost Yangping, really..."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's useless. The three brothers Liu Bei will inevitably lead his army to Yangping. At this moment, they will find Xu Chuwei who can catch up. Even if he catches up, Liu Bei will have to obey the Prime Minister’s military order and refuse to return. What should I do then? Is it necessary for Xu Chu to fight with each other? Let’s not talk about how messy it will be, you and I can’t bear it, I'm afraid Xu Chu would not dare to go against the prime minister’s order and fight Liu Bei without the prime minister’s order! If Liu Bei does not actively rebel against the prime minister, it will be difficult to deal with the three of Liu Bei! First, the prime minister always cherishes the three talents, especially Guan Yu, and cannot make up his mind to get rid of the three; second, if the three of Liu Bei do not rebel, they are similar. Doesn't the killing make the world's heroes chill, no one dared to go to the prime minister anymore. It's better to let the three of them go, and when the time comes, the prime minister will turn against the prime minister, and the prime minister will act again. The heroes of the world will not think that the prime minister is too narrow-minded to accommodate talents! As for Yang Ping, it was meant to be given up, and it’s okay to lose it. As for the 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Shaojun, who had surrendered, might be a disaster to keep, and let Liu Bei take it away, but solved the problem!"

Xun Yu couldn't help showing his admiration, and said: "Feng Xiao has a very high opinion! It's impossible to do it!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Wen Ruo is too modest, what can I compare to Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu asked with a smile: "Then you and I pretend to be ignorant of this?" Guo Jia smiled: "Just pretend to be ignorant." The two looked at each other and smiled and left together.

Kuailiang's mission to Xuzhou was a complete success, and he led Lv Bu's envoy and his group to leave Xuzhou for Jingzhou, preparing to bring Lv Bu's envoy to see Liu Biao. Lü Bu's envoy was named Wang Dong, a student from Xuzhou's poor family. Originally, it was difficult for him to be born, but because Ailang held a political theory test, anyone can take it, Wang Dong stood out in this political theory test and was exceptionally appointed as the civil affairs of Xuzhou. Officials, therefore, I am not fully loyal to Ailang. This time, Lu Bu paid a return visit to Liu Biao and selected him as his envoy to Jingzhou.

The group headed south from Xuzhou all the way, going through Huainan and Lujiang before heading to Jingzhou. A general was responsible for escorting Wang Dong, but to Kuailiang's surprise, the chief official Wang Dong seemed to be surprisingly respectful of the general, which made Kuailiang suspect that the general might be a cron who had something to do with Lu Bu. Otherwise how could it be so. However, Kuailiang never dreamed that the general was not Ailong’s close friend, but was actually Ailang himself. When Kuailiang saw Ailang because Ailang caught a cold, the two sides were separated by a heavy curtain. Kuailiang had never seen Lu Bu. I didn't know the true face of Ailong, and Ailang had a heavy nasal voice, so I couldn't hear her voice.

Ailang, a dignified prince, how could he go to Jingzhou in the disguise of a general guarding the minister? It turned out that Ailang felt that there would be no war during this period, so he wanted to visit Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou. Ailang yearned for Zhuge Liang, who was hailed as a "monster" by Mr. Lu Xun, and hoped to earn him under his command before he was ruined by Liu Bei. . However, in order to fear that the disclosure of his identity would cause unnecessary trouble, Ailang went as an envoy to protect the general. Although Ailang had already confessed to Wang Dong beforehand, not to show any flaws, but Wang Dong couldn't help showing respect for Ailang, no wonder he.
