Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 649 What Cao Cao Wants

At this time, the one in Mochou Hall who really didn't worry much was the Han Dynasty.In any case, the Han Dynasty represents orthodoxy and etiquette, and the performance along the way is obvious to all three parties.More importantly, the Han Dynasty currently has big arms and thick fists.Therefore, unless one of the three parties was kicked in the head by a donkey, the Han Dynasty could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch Cao, Liu, and Sun's three dogs bite dogs.

Therefore, Liu Xie didn't care at all that Zhou Yu deliberately provoked Zhang Fei to sing against Cao Cao, but hoped that the next scolding battle would be more exciting.Everyone can't fight anyway, so it's just a pastime to grind their mouths when they have nothing to do.

After all, if these people are not excited and scold their mothers, how will Liu Xie know what they want?
Earlier, when Liu Bei and Sun Ce had a verbal battle, Liu Xie only thought about it for a while, and then he understood what the two families wanted: what Liu Bei wanted was a sense of security; what Sun Ce wanted was opportunity; Cao Cao, the most tolerant guy, Liu Xie still doesn't know what he wants.

Sure enough, Cao Cao's expression was not ordinary when Zhang Fei broke his foot in public.This kind of accusation is probably more embarrassing than being caught in bed. In desperation, Cao Cao couldn't help but counterattack darkly: "Your elder brother stole the rich land of Xuzhou just under the guise of deceiving the world. Is it so peaceful?"

But regarding the massacre of Xuzhou, Cao Cao couldn't erase his past stain even if he said it was a breakthrough.Therefore, even Zhang Fei, who usually draws beauties and sells pork, can easily refute back with just one sentence: "That's better than you going crazy and taking thousands of times by force, right? What's yours is yours. What's not yours, if you want to take it by force, you will end up in a mess!"

"You!...You pig butcher, how dare you humiliate Cao in public?" Cao Cao said that he has some self-cultivation.But if it is said that the heart is gloomy, it is a thousand miles away from Liu Bei.After being ridiculed by Zhang Fei again, Cao Cao finally fell behind and said such embarrassing words.

At this time, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, and ignored Cao Cao's questioning at all, and instead drank a bottle triumphantly.He is a man with fine details, how could he not know that he won the confrontation just now?

But Zhang Fei was full of ambition, but Liu Bei's face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted sharply: "How dare the third brother make such reckless remarks, and why don't you hurry up and apologize to Governor Cao?!"

But at this time, the big mistake has already been made, and the words are hurtful, even worse with swords and guns. At this time, let alone Zhang Fei apologizing to Cao Cao orally, what is the use of Liu Bei serving the wine himself?

What's more, Liu Xie has seen that Liu Bei is very contradictory on this matter. He hopes that Zhang Fei can crowd out Cao Cao in public, but he doesn't want to offend Cao Cao too deeply.That's why he came to make up for it after Zhang Fei had made it a fact.

Zhang Fei seemed to have a lot of face in front of his elder brother.Even though his face was unhappy, he picked up the wine bottle with Liu Bei, intending to be a gourd with a muffled mouth to finish the cutscene.

But what Liu Xie didn't expect was that Cao Cao was sullen for a moment, but in the end he didn't show any signs of embarrassment.Instead, he held up his own wine bottle in the same manner, glanced at Zhou Yu and Liu Xie on the dragon bed, and then said leisurely: "In troubled times, you are like duckweed without roots. You may look down on it today, but tomorrow Maybe you will become a prisoner. If you are in charge of the territory today, it may belong to someone else tomorrow. If we can have a gathering here today, we should not let a few words ruin your Majesty's kindness."

After Cao Cao's words fell, it was like a huge stone being thrown into the lake, hitting the waves.Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and even Liu Xie all changed their colors, especially Liu Xie's eyes flashed a stern light.In the beautiful palace, only Zhang Fei, who was involved with the matter, still didn't understand what he meant, and his black charcoal face looked so shiny and unharmonious...

But Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao had already seen that he deliberately provoked Zhang Fei to expose his old background.Although Cao Cao's words did not hint to him too much, just that one look made the masters who knew each other secretly cross their swords.

Liu Bei's expression was even more horrified here, the implication of Cao Cao's words was too obvious.His Xuzhou was originally a place of unrest, and Cao Cao was much stronger than Liu Bei, no matter his strategy before the battle or his martial arts.What worries Liu Bei the most is that Cao Cao has made meritorious service in the Han Dynasty, and has been relied on as a barrier to the south of the river in Yuan Shao's place. If Cao Cao is still determined to covet Xuzhou...

But both Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were afraid of Cao Cao's words.Only Liu Xie on the dragon bed raised a trace of murderous intent towards Cao Cao.Because he has heard another meaning of Cao Cao's words: Your Majesty, what I want is Xuzhou!
It was at this time that Liu Xie suddenly had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.When Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, "If you are in charge of the territory today, it may belong to others tomorrow", he suddenly understood: How could Cao Cao not want Xuzhou!

First of all, Xuzhou is a piece of fat, which is the consensus of the whole world.In particular, Xuzhou is bordered by Yanzhou. Once Cao Cao gets Xuzhou, it will not be a one plus one bonus, except for the strategic delay territory that suddenly increases the territory of a state.Cao Cao also took advantage of Xuzhou's boiled sea for salt, which greatly expanded his power.

Secondly, in terms of motivation, Xuzhou will always be a thorn in Cao Cao's heart!

Historically, Xuzhou later experienced the struggle between Liu Bei and Lu Bu. The people of Xuzhou were panic-stricken, and they also forgot about Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou.But Cao Cao still persevered in taking Xuzhou - this is far from being as simple as grabbing territory and strengthening power.Because of the sins Cao Cao himself did, he must pay back!

In this time and space, Liu Bei and Lu Bu did not compete for Xuzhou. The people of Xuzhou and even the people of the world will remember Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou clearly.Because of this, when Cao Cao attacked Lujiang, he encountered desperate resistance from the people of Lujiang.Moreover, Cao Cao will also know that this kind of resistance will never be the first time in the future, and it is very likely that his future siege will be a replica of this.

After all, if you come out to hang out, you always have to pay it back.

Cao Cao brewed Xuzhou's sea of ​​blood with his own hands, and he must bear the price of his madness for a while.

And to lift this spell, there is no other way.The only solution is that Cao Cao must take Xuzhou into his arms!
Only after Cao Cao proves himself in this way, the world will change Cao Cao's opinion.From then on, no matter whether Cao Cao carried out his cold and ruthless domineering in Xuzhou, people regarded Cao Cao as a scourge; or Cao Cao changed his face to comfort the people of Xuzhou to make atonement, so that the world thought that Cao Cao was only angry for a while.In short, the prerequisite for Cao Cao to do all this is to get Xuzhou first.

In the end, the reason why Liu Xie had a conditioned reflex to kill Cao Cao is that Cao Cao has such strength and confidence!

Before attacking the Yuan family, Cao Cao predicted today's ending, almost as prepared as Liu Xie.Therefore, on the Yuzhou battlefield, Cao Cao would keep pace with the Han army, attacking like fire, and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Although Liu Xie once played a little trick on Cao Cao and occupied Chen State before Cao Cao, Cao Cao had already established a foundation in Yuzhou, and the cities he conquered were all heavily guarded.In Yuzhou, the forces of the two sides can be described as intertwined, and they are evenly matched.

And these are not Cao Cao's biggest reliance.

His greatest reliance is that Yuan Shao in the north has already defeated Gongsun Zan.The relationship between Yuan and Cao as one, after the sudden emergence of the Han Dynasty, gradually became different from the history in subtle influences.

Historically, at this time, Cao Cao had already welcomed the emperor into Xu County, and then attacked Nanyang Zhangxiu, destroyed Yuan Shu, and occupied Xuzhou. His forces could already challenge Yuan Shao.As a result, the relationship between the two parties gradually turned into a fire and water, and finally the male and female were separated in the battle of Guandu.

But in this time and space, Liu Xie led the Han Dynasty to revive, and grew into a behemoth in just three years.Out of fear of the Han family, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao naturally got closer together.In other words, Cao Cao can take advantage of Yuan Shao's power to blackmail Liu Xie at this time...

Because of this, it took more than three years to get rid of the kind of Liu Xie who was threatened with a gun pointed at his head. After suddenly realizing the deep meaning of Cao Cao's words, he immediately had a murderous intention towards Cao Cao.

However, His Highness Cao Cao stood like a lonely snow peak, calmly withstanding Liu Xie's sharp and fiery murderous intent with his own determination.And when Liu Xie's sudden surge of fire was eroded by the cold wind and snow, he also suddenly became calm, smiling like a warm spring sun, still playing the role of a foolish emperor: "Today , for the purpose of feasting the heroes, everyone, don't talk about stories, come, drink and win!"

"Yin Sheng!" His Highness echoed in unison again for a while, but after that, the beautiful dance and the intoxicating silk and bamboo dance seemed to have lost all sound and color, and were no longer pleasing to the eye...
