Chapter 90 6. Unprecedented thick skin

Zhang Xiu took refuge in Cao Cao, marking the end of the layout of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.The decisive battle at Guandu is about to begin. The war is about to break out, and everyone is watching.Reputable people all stood up and gave speeches, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two.The common view is that Cao Cao is basically useless, and the future winner will definitely be Yuan Shao.Because Yuan Shao's influence is unprecedented, his combat effectiveness is unprecedented, and his military equipment is unprecedented.On Cao Cao's side, except for the unprecedented thick skin, everything else is unprecedented.So everyone dislikes him.

Human beings, living in the world, are not afraid of being hated by others, but are most afraid of being looked down upon by others.Once they look down on you, everyone will come to mess with you.So now, many people are thinking about engaging Cao Cao. The first to do it was Xu Ta, Cao Cao's bodyguard.Xu he found a few friends, discussed and said: "Well, Cao Cao will not live for a few days, Yuan Shao will definitely kill him. He was slaughtered, who will pay us wages? Kill Cao Cao first, and then go to Yuan Shao's side." After the discussion was settled, everyone happily came to look for Cao Cao in the tent, never thinking that Xu Chu, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, was inside.Xu Chu didn't even ask why these people were running, but shouted, rush, kill, catch up and kill the gang of assassins.

Xu he didn't kill Cao Cao, this matter has to be handed over to others. In the tense atmosphere, General Dong Cheng came to look for Liu Bei: "Is Xiao Liu busy? I have something to ask you." Liu Bei hastily greeted him: "The leader is here. If you have any instructions, we must study and understand them carefully." Dong Cheng said: "The Son of Heaven has an edict ordering you to kill Cao Cao." Liu Bei: "What?" Dong Cheng: "Don't pretend you didn't hear it. You are probably the only one who has survived and has a little bit of affection for the emperor of Han. So the emperor sent a secret edict to ask you to kill Cao Cao."

Liu Bei: "How do you do it?" Dong Cheng: "I am only responsible for conveying the emperor's orders, how do you implement the law, how do I know?" Liu Bei: "But this and that..." Dong Cheng: "Do you have any difficulties?" Liu Bei: "No...it's strange." Dong Cheng: "As long as there are no difficulties, then you should hurry up and do it. When you're done, write me a detailed report. I'll go back and play cards with the emperor first." Dong Cheng left, Liu Bei stood there stupidly, dumbstruck, at a loss.While I was in shock, someone outside the door greeted me again: "Is Xiao Liu at home? I'm Lao Cao, are you busy? If you are not busy, come with me to cook wine with green plums."

According to the records, Dong Chenglai conveyed the order of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao came to Liu Bei to cook green plums and cook wine to set up a dragon gate at the same time. In 199 AD, Cao Cao was 45 years old and Liu Bei was 39 years old. The original words Cao Cao said to Liu Bei at that time were: "Today, only you and I are left as heroes. Yuan Shao and his ilk don't count." This means that among the dead characters, there are also heroes, for example Lu Bu. Liu Bei didn't think about these things. This guy is smarter than anyone else. He knows that no one can kill Cao Cao, and Dong Cheng's plot will be exposed sooner or later. In order to save his life, his greatest hope now is to escape quickly.

How to escape?All the current history books have a big bug when they are written here.This BUG is that Yuan Shu is already dead at this time, and he can't die anymore.But all the history books also said that Yuan Shu was still alive at this time, and was about to leave Shouchun to join his cousin Yuan Shao, passing through Xiapi, Xuzhou. Liu Bei had too much affection for Xiapi, so he immediately took this opportunity to ask Xiapi to intercept and kill Yuan Shu... But the question is, is Yuan Shu dead or not?Or after death, do you not understand why you are alive? After deliberation, Yuan Shu was already dead, but his remnant troops were running around, deliberately playing Yuan Shu's banner for the sake of bluffing.But Cao Cao and Liu Bei couldn't figure out whether Yuan Shu was dead or alive, and the historian didn't bother to check it out, so he just wrote it down in a daze.

At that time, Cao Cao was in a good mood, so he said: "Okay, Xiao Liu, Xuzhou is your base, you go and come back quickly, and the world will belong to us from now on." Liu Bei was about to leave when Cao Cao's counselors Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Dong Zhao all came and scolded Cao Cao together: "My lord, you have committed the old problem of lack of heart. Don't let him go, don't." Cao Cao: "Then...send someone to chase Xiao Liu back?"
