Chapter 9 first meeting of two males

When Cao Cao was busy controlling the power of the court, he did not expect that the situation in Xuzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes. Liu Bei was originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and was sent to Qingzhou as Prime Minister of Pingyuan.Later, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father, siege the city, seize land and massacre the people. The soldiers pointed directly at Tan County where Tao Qian was located.Just when Xuzhou was alive and dead, Liu Bei blocked Cao Cao with 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers. Although he was beaten to pieces, he won the trust of Tao Qian despite his defeat, and was played as the governor of Yuzhou.Later, Cao Cao had to return to rescue because of Chen Gong's rebellion and Lu Bu's invasion, and Xuzhou was also rescued.Not long after Tao Qian became ill, he entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died, and he was supported by Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Guangling prefect Chen Deng, and Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong to take over Xuzhou.At the same time, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were defeated by Cao Cao, and they also voted to Xuzhou.Because he was also Cao Cao's enemy, Liu Bei generously took Lv Bu in and allowed him to station in Xiapi. However, as the situation changed, their main opponent changed from Cao Cao to Yuan Shu who was in Shouchun and called himself "Xuzhou Bo". .

Three months ago, Yuan Shu sent troops to compete for Xuzhou. Liu Bei led his troops to fight in Xuyi and Huaiyin counties.Yuan Shu saw that he could not win, so he wrote to Lu Bu, promising 200,000 hu of grain as a reward, asking him to surprise Liu Bei.At the same time that Liu Bei's Danyang army, who was staying at Xiapi, rebelled, they led Lu Bu to lead the troops into the city, and made them occupy Xiapi instead.Liu Bei's military resources and food were all lost, and his family members fell into Lv Bu's hands. The army's morale was suddenly in turmoil, and he was defeated by Yuan Shu and fled to Haixi County.In addition, Yuan Shu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, failing to fulfill the promise of 200,000 hu grains.Annoyed, Lu Bu immediately accepted Liu Bei's surrender. Not only did he release his family members, but he also took Liu Bei back in the style of welcoming the governor, and ordered him to be stationed in Xiaopei.

And only two months later, Yuan Shu ordered Ji Ling to command 30,000 troops to attack Liu Bei again.Lü Bu was afraid that Yuan Shu would kill Liu Bei and turn to himself, and he was afraid that he would offend Yuan Shu and cause trouble for himself, so he led his troops to Xiaopei to make peace with the two families.But after that, Liu Bei had to increase the number of troops stationed in order to protect himself, which aroused Lu Bu's suspicion.The two turned against each other for the second time. Lu Bu led the troops to attack Xiaopei, but Liu Bei was still defeated. The moment Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei came to Xu County, the feeling in Cao Cao's heart was really subtle!

With curiosity, he met Sun Qian and Jian Yong who were at the front station, allowed Liu Bei's hundreds of remnants to station in the east of Xudu City, provided appropriate food and grass, and agreed to meet Liu Bei and his subordinates at Cao Cao's Chinese army camp the next day. Down. In Cao Cao's view, although Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou for a while after claiming to be King Jing of Zhongshan, he was at best only a first-class small role like Zhang Chao and Wang Kuang, not even as good as Yang Feng and Han Xian who were famous for saving them.But this small character has a very unique charm, he can whip the governor to abandon the official and leave, he dares to block the elite army with 10,000 mobs, and he can turn his head to join Lu Bu who betrayed him.In addition, Cao Cao still couldn't figure out why a young man who weaves mats and sells shoes and has been defeated in countless battles can attract so many big shots to fall in love with him?Lu Zhi was a great Confucian of the generation, and he was accepted as a disciple; Gongsun Zan, a brave general in Beizhou, gave him the post of prefecture; Mi Zhu is a well-known powerful landlord in Xuzhou, but he is willing to run for it... In addition, Liu Bei, a long-legged general, actually has a few brave generals under his tent, especially the red-faced man who dared to lead more than ten cavalry raids. Haunted in Cao Cao's mind.

In the early morning of the second day, Cao Cao washed and changed his clothes. Dressed up in a dignified manner, he rode out of the city in a newly built Zhulun carriage and came to the gate of the general.In order to give the former enemies a little bit of prestige, he ordered the soldiers to roll up the curtains, and all the counselors stood outside the tents, and ordered twenty strong soldiers to fight with long swords, and set out ten cold sword gates; Sitting upright in the big tent, Dian Wei and Xu Chu guarded closely with weapons in hand-this formation is indeed scary enough! After everything was arranged properly, Cao Cao sent an order to invite Liu Bei to enter the camp.Not long after, I saw the Chinese military officer leading two people to come first. They were Liu Bei's secretary Sun Qian and chief secretary Jian Yong.For these two people, Cao Cao had a deep impression when he met for the first time yesterday: Sun Gongyou, a well-known family in Beihai, is dignified, generous and leisurely;Liu Bei and the two stand in front of each other, one is righteous and the other is evil, arguing with each other, they are a good pair of partners.

Sun Qian and Jian Yong went to Daomen and did not leave. They muttered to each other for a while, then retreated to the left and right and stood with hands down, waiting for their envoy.Cao Cao secretly laughed at these two cowards who would be tricky, and leaned over the handsome table with wide-eyed eyes, wanting to see what kind of character this Liu Bei is.After waiting for a while, I saw a few people coming in from the gate, the first one was very strangely dressed: 〖This person is about seven feet five inches tall, without a leather hat, but wears a Jianhua crown, which is a musician's attire. The crown is seven inches high, with iron pillars and beams, and nine copper beads are hung on it; But only the front hair is gathered up, with black lacquered hairpins inserted, the hair behind the ears is not combed, let it hang down the back of the head, fluttering and flowing with the wind; Gold thread, embroidered with clusters of flowers on the top, lined with a snow-white shirt, the top is wide and the bottom is narrow and the seams are tight, showing a well-proportioned figure. What is more distinctive is that the big sleeves are three feet wide, and the swing is quite elegant; the waist A half-foot-wide black cloth bag is tied around the waist, and the waistbands are tightly and meticulously wrapped, but he has a butterfly button under his ribs, and the long tassels hang down to his knees—what a strange outfit! 〗

Is this Liu Bei Liu Xuande?Cao Cao was surprised, stood up unknowingly, bypassed Shuai's case and walked to the entrance of the big tent. Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed after seeing this--this is considered to be out of the tent to welcome him! But seeing this person leisurely strolling to the knife gate, he suddenly stopped and couldn't leave, he knelt down on the spot and saluted, and shouted: "I'm Liu Bei, and I pay my respects to the general." Cao Cao didn't care about his prestige at this moment, he just wanted to see what this strangely dressed guy looked like, waved his hands to signal the soldiers with knives on both sides to retreat, and walked up to him quickly - this made Liu Bei hide Passed the drill gate!

"Liu Xuande, raise your head." "No." He promised and raised his head to let Cao Cao see clearly. Liu Xuande was born with a face like a jade crown and delicate skin; a pair of black and bright eyebrows, as thick as ink dyed, spread out like wild goose wings, and inserted obliquely into the temples; handsome phoenix eyes, long eyelashes curled up, eyes like bright stars, black eyes More white eyeballs, less white lines around them; nose augmentation, tall, abrupt and orderly; wide mouth and thin lips, as if greased; a pair of well-groomed mustaches on the lips, neatly combed, shiny, beard The tip is upturned, and the slender beard under the chin hangs naturally; what is particularly noticeable is that he has a pair of big ears facing upwards, which are particularly eye-catching against the knife-cut sideburns, and the flesh is pink and tender. Her earlobes almost drooped to her shoulders.

Cao Cao has been busy for half his life, and has met many outstanding heroes, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, Lu Bu...none of them can compare to Liu Bei. "When Liu Bei got Xuzhou, Cao Cao regarded him as Xiaoxiao and didn't recognize his status at all; now that he knew that he had no place to stand, he deliberately called him an envoy, which was very ironic. Liu Bei could hear it naturally, he didn't dare to get up at all, bowed his head and bowed again: "I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and I once offended the king of the general. It's just because Tao Shijun died of illness in a hurry, and the people of Xuzhou are waiting for food, and the murderous minister Yuan Shu has the intention of rebellion. Repeatedly mobilize troops to invade and harm the people. Be prepared to be reckless and reluctantly entrusted with the power to shepherd the eastern land for a while. All they do are to protect the environment and the people. Sincerely vote, return to the imperial court and follow orders, and hope that the general will be magnanimous and accept it.”

No matter how ambitious and courageous you are, don't you have to obediently apologize to me today?Cao Cao was very proud: "Xuan Dexiu wants to bring up the past again. Today Xudu is just setting up a hundred wastes and waiting to be promoted. When the court is employing people, since you are sincerely willing to vote, how can this general be willing to refuse?" He stretched out his hand. To help. Liu Bei said politely: "Don't dare to bother the general." Standing up, he introduced a dignified man who followed behind him, "This is Xuzhou, Donghai Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong."

Mi Zhu's name is much more famous than Liu Bei's.He is a native of Qu County in the East China Sea. His ancestors have been merchants for generations. He has nearly 10,000 servants and children in his family, and his wealth has accumulated hundreds of millions.Liu Bei is a native of Zhuozhou, Hebei, and lacks a solid reputation in Xuzhou, so he relied on Mi Zhu and his younger brother Mi Fang's donations to attract people's hearts for him, so he treats Mi's Kunzhong as a guest of honor.Cao Cao had heard of Mi's name for a long time, and seeing Mi Zhu's handsome face today, with the air of an elder, he also cupped his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time." "How dare, how dare!" Mi Zhu didn't say much, and lowered his head respectfully. "Please come in and speak." Cao Cao said and walked in, followed closely by Liu Bei and Mi Zhu.As soon as he stepped into the big tent, Dian Wei yelled, "Stop! Who are you? Did you just break into the general's camp?" Cao Cao turned his head and took a look, only to notice that there were two young men behind Liu Bei.These two men were wearing soft armour, Wubian on their heads, and knives in their waists, as if they were soldiers.What is rare is that both of them are thin waisted, with shoulders folded, delicate features, white teeth and red lips. There are also some similarities in appearance. They look like a pair of silver dolls when they are young, but they have martial arts at the corners of their brows and eyes. . "The general's tent is not allowed to enter without authorization, you still don't retreat!" Liu Bei quickly scolded. "Wait a minute," Cao Cao turned around curiously, "Who are they?" Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "These are two unknown young generals in the tent. Now they have no soldiers, no horses and powers, and they are acting as bodyguards. I didn't ask them to come, but they wanted to follow. Please forgive me for offending General Hu Weiwan... Hurry up Walk!" "Wait a minute, Xuande," Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei didn't want him to ask more about his subordinates, but the more he didn't want him to, the more Cao Cao asked, "What do you call the two generals?" "Under Changshan Zhao Yun." The other said: "Chen Dao in Xiarunan." The two of them, one from the south and the other from the north, had different accents. "Kneel down and talk!" Liu Bei reprimanded again in a mocking manner, "There are no rules at all." The two quickly knelt down together. Cao Cao looked at the handsome and handsome young generals from the south and the north, and looked at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion: Although good looks may not necessarily have skills, how can Liu Bei get all the beautiful people in the world? Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong's subordinates are nothing more than that, and even a pair of personal guards are handsome... Thinking of this, Cao Cao cherished it, and deliberately put on a straight face and said: "How dare you do what this general does?" Come on, you are quite courageous! But you underestimate me, Cao, how can I be a great general against your envoy in the tent?" "That's natural," Liu Bei said with a smile, "They are all villains with little knowledge." "Don't say that, either." Cao Cao waved his hand, "It's commendable for the two of them to be loyal and protect the master... Zhao Yun and Chen Dao!" He had already memorized the names of the two young generals, "You two The armor is also too simple, this general will give you each a suit of iron armor to help the two young generals be as powerful as tigers and wolves." Liu Beiming knew that Cao Cao was trying to win over his own people, but now that he was under the low eaves, he didn't dare to disobey him, so he urged: "You guys hurry up and thank the general." "Thank you, General, for the reward." The two thanked each other hand in hand. Cao Cao held Liu Bei's hand with a smile, and asked them to sit down; while the other counselors and generals of Cao Ying were still standing, especially Xia Houyuan, Le Jin, Zhu Lingna and other hot-tempered ones all stared at the two with wide eyes. people.Liu Bei turned a blind eye with a calm expression, while Mi Zhu lowered his eyes and was gentle. "Brother Xuande..." Cao Cao pulled the address closer, "You have been in Dongzhou for a long time, and you have confronted both Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. What do you think of these two?" Liu Bei didn't seem to have expected that Cao Cao would ask this question as soon as he came up, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "Lu Fengxian is the world's tiger general, with a halberd in the palm of his crotch and a horse in the palm of the world. The enemy of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Gonggong bears the name of the fourth generation and the third lord, sits on the fertile land of Huainan, but has a rebellious heart, he is really the thief of the Han Dynasty." This response was very clever, he considered that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were both defeated by Cao Cao However, raising their evaluation is tantamount to raising Cao Cao even higher. Cao Cao really didn't pay attention to this level. He felt that Liu Bei was a person who was often defeated, and it was normal to say that others were talented. Neither of these two men are first-class talents." "Yes!" Liu Bei sighed, lowering his eyes and thinking thoughtfully, "If you can save the people of the Li people from the fire and water, secure the society in the world, help the emperor out of danger, and restore the authority of the court, then you will be a real man of great talent and boldness. , can be called the pillar of the world." The so-called great wisdom is like a fool, and great ingenuity is like a clumsy, and there are high and low flatterers.Liu Bei didn't say a good word about Cao Cao, but he mixed his merits of flattering the emperor and restoring the imperial court into his evaluation of Xiongcai, and deliberately showed an expression of admiration in person. This is actually a very successful compliment. up. Cao Cao is not a fool, especially when facing a person who has changed his master repeatedly, he will naturally show some vigilance.But today all these doubts were softened by Liu Bei's handsome and sincere face, as well as that deep and fascinated expression.Cao Cao felt that he might be trying to flatter him, but his yearning for the court, his loyalty to the emperor, and his desire for an official career were indeed true. After all, he was born as a straw sandal seller, but it took him a long time to climb up. To the master of a state, perhaps his Xuzhou came too easily, so he lost it too sloppily.Cao Cao didn't pick on him, but asked with concern: "How did Lu Bu take your Xuzhou, why don't you tell me about it." "Alas..." Liu Bei sighed before he could speak, "The former governor Tao Gongzu was from Danyang, so there were many Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou. These soldiers and horses relied on the domineering and disobedient dispatch of Cao Bao, the minister of Pi in the same country. Yuan Shu suddenly led troops to fight, I led troops out of the camp, not wanting Cao Bao, Xu Dan and others who were staying in Xiapi to make a sudden rebellion. Although Cao Bao was killed by my men, the Danyang soldiers had already led Lu Bu into the city, and Xuzhou was lost." Danyang soldiers. Cao Cao has experienced the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao. When he attacked Xuzhou in the past, Tao Qian used Danyang soldiers to fight against him.Tao Qian's failure to fight against Cao Cao was not only ineffective in fighting, but the root cause was that he did not properly handle the relationship between foreign forces and local forces.Tao Qian died silently, leaving Liu Bei with a mess. As another foreign force, Liu Bei faced the two old parties in the past, and he was in more trouble than Tao Qian in the past. When Cao Cao heard him tell the whole story, he felt a little sympathy. In the past, he was also devastated by the rebellion of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, the old ministries of Yanzhou, but his luck was better than Liu Bei's.If it weren't for the support of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, I'm afraid he would have gone to vote for Yuan Shao like Liu Bei today.So he smiled wryly and said, "Xuande, what happened to you deserves sympathy!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth: "It's nothing more than a rebellion by the Danyang soldiers. It's really abominable for that fellow Lu Bu to take advantage of the fire to repay kindness with grievances." "That's right." Cao Cao recalled the old hatred, "It was also he who colluded with the Yanzhou rebel party to seize Puyang and caused harm. Your experience and mine are exactly the same!" Liu Bei suddenly got up and bowed down: "I have suffered a lot from Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and I am willing to follow the general and wipe out this traitor." Mi Zhu also knelt down. "Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Xuande doesn't need to be too polite, we are all loyal to the court!" At this time, we can't make promises easily without knowing the details. I have been fighting with these two thieves for half a year, how is the rest of your troops doing now?" Cao Cao was most concerned about how much money he still had. Liu Bei got up and said shyly, "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. Lu Bu attacked me in Xiapi, and all my food, supplies and luggage were lost, and my family also fell into Lu Bu's hands." He pointed at Mi Zhu, "Thanks to Zi Zhong's generosity for giving me two thousand The slaves used to serve as soldiers, and gave me my sister-in-law to marry me, so I reluctantly supported me in Haixi. After Lu Bu welcomed me to Xiaopei, it was also Lai Zizhong who helped me with gold and silver. About ten thousand soldiers were recruited, but Lu Bu's fellow sent me again Scattered. A few were forced to surrender to the enemy, and most of them were scattered in Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and it was difficult to gather for a while." Cao Cao gave Mi Zhu a meaningful look.If Liu Bei is overconfident, then Mi Zhu is a big gambler who dares to place bets.He gambled all his billions of wealth on Liu Bei, and even married him as his brother-in-law, so how much profit did he want to get?I am afraid that at least he will be satisfied if he earns back the position of Duke! Cao Cao suddenly realized one of Liu Bei's shortcomings. He and his group may have their own talents and advantages, but they lack the understanding of the whole world situation in their bones. They don't have resourceful people like Xun Wenruo, Guo Fengxiao, and Xi Zhicai. Just relying on a burst of energy to fight and fight.Even if the scheming is deep and flattering, how big a wave can the eyes be?But this aggressiveness seems familiar, perhaps it is the shadow of Cao Cao himself struggling in the officialdom more than ten years ago! "Xuande, are you old?" "Oh?" Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I will stand here for six years." This time it was Cao Cao who was surprised—thirty-six years old, but six years younger than me, and he has taken good care of himself, as if he was in his twenties... He sat for a while, until he felt that he saw this person clearly Then he said with a smile: "Xuande, you stay in Xu County for a few days, and then you will be rewarded and hired after I play the Son of Heaven. You must be tired after traveling all the way from Pei County, so go back to the camp to rest." Liu Bei seemed to be quite satisfied with the results of this meeting, and he said with great sincerity, "General Xie is sympathetic, Bei is here today, it's like going home!" The mouth is really sweet... Cao Cao bypassed Shuai's case, personally sent Liu Bei and Mi Zhu out of the tent, and specially told him: "There are still many inconveniences in the initial establishment of the imperial court. Please forgive me. If there is any need in the camp, please let me know." It doesn't matter, you can come to the shogunate directly to find me." "Then I'll take my leave for the time being." Liu Bei bowed to the ground, and suddenly saw Cao Cao's brand-new dark clothes were a little dirty, so he flicked the dust for him, got up smiling and took Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others to go. . This inadvertent little action aroused Cao Cao's great affection.It should be known that such a small action only happened for a moment. If Cao Cao hadn't been staring at him, he would never have noticed that he was helping him to flick the dust. Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were standing beside him didn't notice.This is definitely not flattery, but a habit developed in daily life.The strange thing is, how could a guy who was born as a peddler pay such attention to clothes?But in terms of clothing and appearance, Cao Cao is dwarfed by Liu Bei. Even wearing the general's purple ribbon deep clothes, there is still nothing outstanding.Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, a mysterious character, was a mystery before he saw it, and he was still a mystery after he saw it... Cao Cao stood there for a long time before ordering a car to go back to the city. The imperial court has strict etiquette, and it is quite particular about which officials use which cars.The carriages that the General and the San Gong rode in were double-drivers with soap covers, big red lacquered wheels, two red flags, golden deer handrails, and bear-patterned crossbars.Cao Song used to be a Taiwei. Although Cao Cao felt disdainful by spending money to buy an official and made people gossip, his father's carriage was extremely sacred in his heart. At that time, the old man didn't even allow him to touch it casually. .Now he has such a car himself, and there are more Baiyan① and Jinyue② in front, which represent the mission of the Son of Heaven and the power of life and death.Although the world is not stable yet, as long as he gets in this car, all worries and worries will be temporarily forgotten, and he will find the supreme sense of authority. 『①Bai Yan, the symbol of the emperor's envoy, means to inspect on behalf of the heaven. 』 『②Golden axe, the symbol of the highest military command, has the power of life and death. 』 Cao Cao stepped into the car, nodded and called out, "Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, come up and ride together." "Thank you for the gift, General." Guo Jia was flattered and couldn't wait to step forward with a smile.But Xun Yu said: "The general has set up his car, and I dare not overstep." 『③Arrogance, in ancient times, refers to the use of the name, etiquette, and utensils of the superior by the inferior person. 』 "Wen Ruo, don't want to decline. You are now in the position of servant, and the emperor's car can still be used, let alone my car?" Cao Cao helped Guo Jia with his own hands, and smiled again, "Look how happy it is to be a filial piety, You come up quickly, I have something to say to you two." Xun Yu declined when he saw that it was not good, so he stepped around the back of the car, slowly boarded the car and sat down. The glamorous carriage drove away, and Cao Cao didn't look sideways and didn't say a word, as if he wanted them both to feel this supreme glory.Guo Jia looked left and right, touched this and that, Xun Yu lowered his eyes and looked upright.After walking for a while, Cao Cao suddenly turned his head and asked, "Who do you think Liu Xuande is? Can I reuse him?" Xun Yu lowered his face, and only stared at Shimu all the time: "I think Liu Bei has a great talent and is very popular, and he will not be inferior in the end. It is better to plan it earlier." "Wen Ruo persuaded me to kill someone, this is really the first time in the world!" Cao Cao smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Guo Jia, "What does Feng Xiao think?" "Not bad! I think Liu Bei has the ambition of a hero." Guo Jia said bluntly. "Shouldn't it be killed to avoid future troubles?" "It's absolutely impossible!" Guo Jia guessed Cao Cao's thoughts very clearly, "Although Liu Bei has different ambitions, the general raises his sword to rebel against the rebels, eliminates violence for the people, and recruits heroes by relying on sincerity. .Today, you have the name of a hero, and you return home poor. If you harm each other easily, the general will bear the name of harming the virtuous. At that time, the wise man will no longer doubt himself and choose another master. Who will the general rule the world with? To eliminate one person's troubles, but to block the hope of the whole world, the opportunity of safety and danger must be observed." "Hahaha..." Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed, "The words of filial piety are exactly what I think. When we are recruiting heroes today, killing one person and losing the hearts of the world is unacceptable!" "However..." Guo Jia recalled the words with a playful smile, stroking the golden lacquered handrail of the carved deer and said, "Liu Bei is capricious, although the general is available, you need to be more careful." "I know it." Guo Jia commented eloquently: "Liu Bei was originally under the command of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. He pretended to be the Prime Minister of Qingzhou Pingyuan and was dispatched by Tian Kai. The general attacked Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei led the army to rescue him, he abandoned Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai and joined Tao Qian. This is one of them; Liu Bei once helped Kong Rong, the former Prime Minister of the North Sea, break the danger of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou. After entering Xuzhou, he relied on Kong Rong's support and reluctantly succeeded Tao Qian. As the governor, he stormed Beihai counties and counties. At this time, Liu Bei abandoned his old friends and did not dare to offend Yuan Shao. He sat back and watched the success or failure, which made Kong Rong unable to resist and returned to the court. This is the second." These few words had already made Cao Cao startled, but Guo Jiawu couldn't stop himself: "That's not all! Last year the general expelled Lu Bu, and Lu Bu took refuge in Xuzhou, and took advantage of Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's stalemate to seize Xiapi. Liu Bei didn't want to seize The enmity of the land, on the contrary, has the audacity to lose the owner and go to seek refuge as a guest. This is the third thing; Liu Bei not only voted for Lu Bu, but also relied on his merits of shooting halberds to keep Xiaopei, so he treated each other as money, but he relied on Mi Zhu's wealth to raise money secretly. Soldiers and horses were finally discovered by Lu Bu, so that they lost their place again. These are four things; the general has thought carefully, there is still the obstacle of Tancheng in the past, and Liu Bei is also the enemy of the general, but today he is coming to join him, and his words are humble and flattering, This is five of them!" Guo Jia said Liu Bei's repeated actions five times without exaggeration. Xun Yu added: "Liu Xuande was defeated and his family was lost to Lu Bu, but he did not abandon his gorgeous clothes, which shows that he has a wife in his heart. It’s not as good as a piece of clothing! Besides, the strange clothes are out of the etiquette and not close to the world, which shows what kind of mind he has, and the abnormality of things is called a monster!” Cao Cao was dumbfounded for a while, and after a long game in his mind, he said slowly: "Even so, we still can't kill him lightly, since it has been collected and then harmed, wouldn't it make me a repeater as well?" Guo Jia still smiled: "Although I have said a lot, but with the general's talent and current situation, he is enough to control him. According to my opinion, isn't he still known as the governor of Yuzhou? The general might as well give him another Promoted to the first level, the name is Yuzhou Mu, what do you think?" Because the current capital is in Xu County, Yuzhou, all garrisons and local officials are directly controlled by Cao Cao.Even if Liu Bei became a shepherd in Yuzhou, it would be useless, and he would not be able to mobilize the army at all.Not only did he not release real power, but he also gained a reputation for favoring those who surrendered.Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia appreciatively: "Very well, I'll let him be the shepherd of Yuzhou. It's not enough to be the shepherd of Yuzhou. I will also give him the general of Zhendong that I used to be, so that he can feel at ease. Give it to him Some food and grass, but no soldiers and horses, let him go back to Pei County to recruit the old troops again. We can't reach the limit of our troops, anyway, Liu Bei has already formed an indissoluble enmity with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and I want him to continue to fight there .As long as the three of them fight to the death, I will have time to settle Zhang Xiu, and get rid of them all later!" "Liu Bei can be released, but Mi Zhu must be cut off." Guo Jia reminded again, "in case Liu Bei uses his financial resources to grow stronger." "Yeah." Cao Cao nodded, "In two days to attack Yang Feng and Han Xian, I want Liu Bei to lead the troops to go with him, and let's see how his generals are doing." I haven't seen the majestic red-faced man yet!
