The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 840 Cooking Wine on Heroes

Liu Bei also suspected at first that this edict was forged by Cao Cao privately. After all, Cao Cao also did false edicts back then.It wasn't until Liu Bei saw that the last big red seal was exactly the same as the seal of the call to arms when the imperial court allowed him to be the shepherd of Xuzhou, that Liu Bei was sure.

It is almost impossible to say that it is privately made jade seals.The jade seal was cast with Heshibi by Emperor Qinshihuang back then. Not only is it difficult to make and the process is complicated, but the material is also extremely difficult to find. If there is a slight difference, it will be easily recognized by people.If this spreads, no matter how good your reputation was before, it will collapse in an instant, but it is not just a simple matter of beheading.

Although Cao Cao was courageous, he was not yet capable of doing such a thing.

It seems that the identity of this King Hongnong, as well as the story told before, should be true.

Liu Bei thought about it, so he bowed his hand to Liu Bian, and said decisively: "The Han Dynasty has fallen, and the treacherous ministers have stolen the country. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty and a relative of the Han Dynasty, we should never turn back! I agree to this matter, but The problem is that even if Bei joins forces with General Cao, he is still weak and needs to gather more forces before he can fight Lu Bu."

Liu Bian nodded and said yes, since Liu Bei agreed, he did not hide anything, and talked about his plan: "In a few days, my nephew will go to the south, and I will invite the general Yuan Shu and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to also send troops. Then go Go north and win over Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping County. At that time, with the combined strength of everyone, we will surely defeat Lu Bu!"

A faint imperial prestige radiated from Liu Bian. Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other, and they both sensed scruples in each other's eyes. They bowed and shouted: "Hongnong Wang is wise!"

As for why not go to the north first, Liu Bian naturally had his own ideas.Yuan Shao has recently defeated Gongsun Zan several cities, and now he is gaining momentum. He must first let Lu Bu destroy Yuan Shao's morale before he can win over.

Two days later, Liu Bian left Xuzhou.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, he refused Liu Bei and Cao Cao's send-off, and still only took Chenlong with him, and set foot on the road to Huainan.

Watching Liu Bian go away, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing: "Xuande, our Great Prince, is really amazing!"

Liu Bei quite recognized the solemn nod, only failure and setbacks can make people grow.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't deposed the young emperor back then, what would happen today?
Cao Cao put a question mark in his heart.

After Liu Bian left, Liu Bei invited Cao Cao to the small pavilion in the backyard to have a talk.Cao Cao is a straightforward person, and he is not formal, so he came to Xiaoting with Liu Bei.There is a bottle of wine in the pavilion: a plate of green plums and a bottle of boiled wine.

Drinks are added.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking happily, as if they were confidants, talking about the hard work of these years.

rumbling~
When the wine was half drunk, thunder suddenly sounded in the originally clear sky, and then dark clouds covered the sky, which was terribly gloomy. It seemed that a heavy rain would come soon.

Cao Cao squinted his small eyes, leaning on the railing with his wine bottle in his hand, and there seemed to be a giant python flying among the hidden clouds and mists.

"General Cao ~ General Cao ~"

Cao Cao was in a daze for a long time, until he heard Liu Bei's soft call, and he came back to his senses.

This situation reminded him of a past event many years ago.

At that time, the weather was also like this.

Put it in the wine bottle, and the previous topic will not be discussed anymore. Cao Cao asked Liu Bei with a smile: "Can Xuande know the change of the dragon?"

Liu Bei stopped the wine bottle in his hand, and looked down at the face reflected in the glass. He didn't understand why Cao Cao suddenly asked this question, and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know the details.

Liu Bei didn't know, so Cao Cao repeated what he said to Lu Bu back then: "The dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; big can make clouds and fog, small can hide its shape; rising can soar above the universe. In the middle, Yin is lurking in the waves. Dragons change from time to time, just like a man who achieves his ambition and travels across the world. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world!"

"Xuande has traveled all over the world for a long time, and he must know whether the heroes of the world can be one or two in my way." Cao Cao took a sip of fine wine and looked at Liu Bei with great interest.

Liu Bei put the wine glass on the table and shook his head slightly: "I can't prepare for the worldly people. With the naked eye, An Neng can recognize the heroes of the world."

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Cao Cao blushed, and didn't intend to end this topic, and continued to ask: "Hey, why should Xuande be too modest, even if he hasn't met a real person, he should have heard of some names, right? Even if it is said!"

Liu Bei couldn't resist Cao Cao, so he had to say casually: "Yuan Shu in Huainan has enough food and soldiers, can he be a hero?"

At this time, Cao Cao was obviously in the upper hand, and said with a sneer: "Yuan Changshui, the fierce ghost on the road, is only a dead bone in the grave, and has been defeated by others time and time again. If it wasn't for the deep family background of Yuan's family, he would have been captured by others!"

"Yuan Shao of Hebei, four generations and three princes, many old officials; now the tiger occupies the land of Jizhou, and there are so many capable subordinates, can he be a hero?" Liu Bei named another person.

"Yuan Shaoser is bold and cowardly, always planning and incessant; he cherishes his life when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains: he is not a hero." Cao Cao shook his head. Although he and Yuan Shao have known each other for many years and are good friends, but In terms of heroes, Yuan Shao is far from the slightest bit.

"There is a person named Ba Jun, who is powerful in Kyushu: Can Liu Jingsheng be a hero?"

"Liu Biao has no real name and is not a hero."

"There is a man of blood, the leader of Jiangdong who rose two years ago--Sun Bofu is a hero?"

"Sun Ce is a mere child, and he is not a hero if he borrows the name of others."

"Is Liu Jiyu from Yizhou a hero?"

"Although Liu Zhang belongs to the clan, he is the dog ear of the family guard. How can he be a hero!"

"How about Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng and others?"

Cao Cao clapped his palms and laughed, completely ignoring him: "Such a mediocre person, what a shame!"

So many bosses can't get into your eyes, so why don't you tell me something?

Liu Bei was slanderous in his heart, but his face was self-effaced and said: "Besides this, Bei really doesn't know!"

Of course, one of the most important figures was ignored by Liu Bei.

This is not Liu Bei's intentional omission, but now that a strategic cooperation has been reached, Lu Bu is regarded as a traitor who has stolen the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao got up, walked out of the kiosk shaking his wine glass, looked up at the sky, and expressed his passion in his heart: "Heroes are those who have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to hide the universe, and those who have the ambitions of the world!"

"Who can do it?"

Cao Cao wanted to name one person, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it seemed a little inappropriate, so he pointed at Liu Bei, then pointed at himself, and laughed loudly: "Today, the only heroes are the king and Cao Er!"

Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard the words. He has always been a low-key man, so he waved his hand quickly.

"Brother Meng De, you are drunk!"

…………

Cao and Liu Qingmei's discussion of heroes by cooking wine was originally a small matter of commercial bragging.

But after being introduced to Guanzhong, Xi Ce heard about this and became very angry.

A cat and a dog are all on the stage, but their own general is missing.

He felt angry for Lu Bu, so he took up a pen and wrote a note, which was passed on to Cao Cao: Someone killed your whole family. The late Xuzhou Mu, is he a hero?
