The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 298: The elders and the younger kill each other, and the father and son harm each other

Liu Xiongming couldn't help but associate it with something when he heard it.

Although he came from a humble background, he could not hold a high position or receive a high salary.

But now he is also very powerful in Lantian.

There has always been a hundred responses to one call, drinking big bowls of wine and eating big chunks of meat.

But now we are in such a mess.

From now on, life and death are unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune are unpredictable!

"The third is health and peace." The official sighed.

"This cannot be obtained by asking for it, just as the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."

"Since the Yellow Turbans, the world has been in constant turmoil."

"Born in this era, from the emperor to the common people,

“Who can find true peace?”

Liu Xiongming also sighed inwardly when he heard this.

Yes, we are faced with such a world.

Our generation will never enjoy a peaceful life.

"And the fourth is the virtue of loving life, which is something that can be explained."

The fat black man also laughed as he spoke.

"Lao Tzu said: The highest virtue is not lost, so it is virtuous."

"If the lower virtues are not lost, then there is no virtue."

"That seems to me too vague."

“You should know that human virtues are not limited to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.”

“Only people with virtue can gain something, and those who win the hearts of the people in the world are the most virtuous.”

“It is the small virtues that win the hearts of the people, so those who can win the hearts of the people must have some virtues.”

"A great reputation commands authority."

"A person who is respected and supported by everyone is a virtuous person."

This explanation is actually quite one-sided, but it is exactly what Liu Xiongming wants.

I deeply agree with this statement.

After all, if he was a man without moral integrity, how could he be dragged into this trouble by those guys from Guanxi?

He insisted on dragging Old Man Liu along to fight Cao Cao together.

He felt somewhat proud when he thought of this.

I want to listen to this fat black man's talk about the five blessings.

Who would have thought that this person would stop talking after saying this.

This really made him scratch his head.

I want to ask but I'm too embarrassed to open my mouth.

It was the young scholar next to him who came up with the idea.

At this time, he also asked:
"Father-in-law, what is the meaning of the last blessing of these five blessings?"

The fat black man was silent for a long while.

Then he suddenly said loudly: "It's difficult! It's difficult!"

As soon as he said these two words, Liu Xiongming couldn't help himself!

The current master turned around and asked, "What's difficult? Did you say it?"

The fat black man saw that the old man finally reacted.

He also stroked his beard and said:

“This last blessing is a good death, but it does not only mean a good death.”

"This is a good death, without any illness or disaster, and a natural death of old age."

“But it doesn’t necessarily mean a happy ending.”

Liu Xiongming couldn't help but ask: "What is a good ending?"

Hearing this, the fat black man also stood up, paced back and forth and said:

“In this lifetime, one must establish a name for oneself in the world.”

"I have to preserve this achievement and reputation in my later years."

“It’s easier said than done if you take one wrong step!”

"If you fail at the last moment, your reputation will be ruined!"

"It is such a pity that your reputation in this life is ruined in an instant and will be infamous for eternity!"

"Lose your integrity in your later years?" Liu Xiongming was stunned after hearing this.

When he finally reacted, he sat up abruptly and slapped his thigh in anxiety!

"It's over, it's over!"

"I was misled by a villain and my reputation was ruined!"

But after saying this, he suddenly realized something.

I have fallen into the other party's trap!
"You! You are the lobbyists sent by Cao Cao!"

The short, dark and fat man turned around and looked at him with a smile on his face.

He didn't rush to answer, but just asked slowly:

"Then old general, do you know you regret it?"

Liu Xiongming's face turned red when he heard this and he wanted to deny it outright.

But the words have been spoken, and there is no point in holding on.

I can only sigh: "Alas! It's too late to regret..." "I shouldn't have followed those people to rebel."

"It's unfortunate that I'm in such a state at such an old age!"

Hearing this, the young scholar also struck while the iron was hot and spoke:

"Since the old general has regrets."

"Why don't you express your willingness to submit to Prime Minister Cao?"

Liu Xiongming shook his head upon hearing this.
"Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will find it difficult to forgive."

"Haha!" The fat black man sneered.

Then he stroked his beard and his expression changed!
"I think it's not too late for you to turn back!"

"It's hard to punish you at your age, so I'll just forgive you for now."

Liu Xiongming was stunned when he heard this!

With an unbelievable look on his face, he said: "You! You are..."

The fat black man stopped playing dumb and revealed his identity directly!

"That's right! I am Cao Cao!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu, who had been silent for a long time, also laughed out loud!
"You are such an old man, you think you have experienced a lot."

"Being in our camp for so long."

"You can't even recognize my Prime Minister!"

Liu Xiongming was also embarrassed when he heard this. He never thought that the person in front of him would be Cao Cao!
How could he have guessed this unprepossessing appearance?

Even the fat black man who looks a bit ugly is the current Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty?

It’s kind of funny to think about it.

I couldn't help but sigh:

"I have lived for more than sixty years, but I have no knowledge and vision."

"I am really confused now!"

But at this point, he changed the subject.

His eyes suddenly became sharp and he said:

"However, the criminal still has one thing he is dissatisfied with!"

"May I ask Prime Minister Cao why you imprisoned Ma Teng? You have broken your promise to the heroes of Guanzhong!"

"What caused Ma Chao and Han Sui to start a rebellion?"

Cao Cao also laughed when he heard this and said:

"When did I ever imprison Ma Weiwei?"

"He is now in our army, and his family is safe and sound."

Liu Xiongming was still a little skeptical when he heard this and asked, "Are you serious?"

Cao Cao said seriously:

"As the prime minister of the dynasty, how can I speak without thinking?"

Liu Xiongming sat there in a daze when he heard this:

"What's going on here... Could it be..."

Cao Cao had long seen that although this old man was brave.

Even at his age, he can still ride a horse and fight.

However, his mind was not flexible enough, and he couldn't help but sneer:

"Don't you understand, old general?"

"It was not because I imprisoned Ma Teng that his son rebelled."

"It was that horse who deliberately started a rebellion without caring about his father's danger!"

Liu Xiongming didn't believe it at first, but thought about it carefully.

Cao Cao, as the prime minister, now came to Guanzhong in person.

Why would he even bother to lie to his old man?
Besides, I am a prisoner now, so what is there to lie about?

Thinking of this, he stamped his feet and cursed:
"This boy is so disloyal, how despicable!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and sneered:

"An ancient saying goes: 'In times of great chaos, rulers and ministers betray each other.'"

"The elders and the younger ones kill each other, fathers and sons harm each other, brothers slander each other, and friends deceive each other."

"They have lost all human ethics, their hearts are like those of beasts, they only care about their own interests and have no regard for the laws of nature!"

"In this chaotic world, there are many people whose rationality is blinded by interests."

"What's so strange about such disloyal and unfilial people?"

Liu Xiongming was filled with regret after hearing this.

"If I knew this, why would I be in cahoots with him?"

Seeing this, Sima De also stepped forward and bowed to Liu Xiongming and said:

"Old General, it's just as my father-in-law said."

"That Ma Chao disobeyed his father's orders and has now put his family in danger."

"He will have to bear the consequences himself someday!"

"My royal army has 100,000 soldiers, all of whom are strong troops that have fought in hundreds of battles."

"In comparison, the Han and Ma families are just a temporary mob."

"How can the light of a firefly compete with the light of the sun and the moon?"
