Chapter 173
When Liu Bei was about to strike up a conversation with Guo Jia and others, he felt a strong force coming from his arm, and his body was immediately pulled by this force.
Zhao Lei just dragged Liu Bei out of the army tent.
When they reached the door of the tent, a soldier suddenly walked in and said to Zhao Lei, "My lord, Captain Cao Cao is here to visit."
"Oh, it turned out to be Cao Cao?" Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said to Liu Bei, "Xuande, I won't see you off. I have another guest here." After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he pushed Liu Bei.
No matter how thick-skinned Liu Bei is, if others drive him away like this, he will not make fun of himself.
"Go and take Xuande to the place where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were kidnapped, and then let them out of the barracks." Zhao Lei said to the soldiers at the door.
"No!" After the soldiers finished speaking, they took Liu Bei and left the army tent.
After seeing Liu Bei leave, Zhao Lei turned his head and asked the soldiers just now, "Where is Cao Cao now?"
"Return to my lord, Cao Cao is waiting at the gate of the camp." The soldier said.
After Zhao Lei heard it, he called in the account: "Man, Zilong, follow me to meet Cao Cao in person."
After Zhao Lei finished speaking, Zhang Han and Zhao Yun in the big tent hurriedly got up, followed behind Zhao Lei, and went to meet Cao Cao together.
There were three people in the group, Zhao Lei walked in the front, and walked quickly towards the gate of the camp.
Outside the camp, Cao Cao was wearing a black cotton robe and waiting at the gate of the camp.
The three of Zhao Lei walked quickly, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the camp.
Seeing that there was only one person at the gate of the camp, Zhao Lei was stunned. It was unexpected that Cao Cao came to visit alone.
"Brother Meng De, you are safe and sound." Zhao Lei walked towards Cao Cao and said aloud before reaching Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao heard this, a hearty smile appeared on his slightly dark face, and he also walked towards Zhao Lei, and said as he walked, "Zihan, Zizhou, Zilong. Long time no see, I really miss my brother. "
"Brother Meng De, I miss you too!" Zhao Lei laughed.Zhang Han and Zhao Li also greeted Cao Cao with a smile.
Cao Cao lightly punched Zhao Lei and said, "I think I left in such a hurry when I was in Luoyang, leaving a mess for me to clean up."
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Hehe, don't mention it. Today is the day we meet again, so don't mention it."
Cao Cao nodded knowingly, and walked into the barracks with Zhao Lei.
The battle in Hehuan Palace and the entire Luoyang Palace and coup are unforgettable.Zhao Lei still remembered what he said to Cao Cao at that time, so thinking of this, Zhao Lei kept silent in order not to spoil the atmosphere of the reunion.
Cao Cao is also a sensible person, knowing that he has said something just now, so he shut his mouth tightly, didn't say anything more, and followed Zhao Lei into the barracks.
Cao Cao followed behind Zhao Lei. Although he was short, his momentum was not inferior to Zhao Lei's at all.In his demeanor, there is also a soldier's temperament, bold and generous.
"Brother Meng De, please come inside!" Zhao Lei said as he walked to his military tent.
"Ye Wei, go to the main tent once, and let everyone in the main tent disperse!" Zhao Lei said.
After getting the order, Ye Wei left Zhao Lei's military tent.
In Zhao Lei's camp, the host and guest were seated.
Cao Cao sat first on the left, while Zhang Han and Zhao Yun sat on the right.
As soon as Zhao Lei sat down, he immediately ordered the soldiers guarding outside: "Good wine and good food!"
After a while, the soldiers came to the big tent with wine and food, and put the wine and food on the desk for the four of Zhao Lei to eat.Zhao Lei filled the wine, held up the wine glass, and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, I respect you for this glass of wine. To celebrate our reunion." Zhao Lei picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it down.
Cao Cao smiled and drank the wine in his glass.
Zhao Lei raised his glass again, and said to Cao Cao: "This cup is to wish that our allied forces will work together to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty. Cheers."
Cao Cao, Zhang Han and Zhao Yun toasted together and drank the wine in the cup again.
After drinking the strong wine, Zhao Lei felt his stomach was hot and refreshing.So he turned to Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De, I just arrived at the Allied Army. I don't know if Brother Meng De is here to visit. What's the matter?"
The conversation before the dinner table came to the point with Zhao Lei's question.
When Cao Cao saw Zhao Lei's question, he immediately said, "The reason why I came to visit in such a hurry is because of the affairs of the Allied forces."
After Zhao Lei heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, first Yuan Benchu met me outside the city, and now it is Meng De. Could it be that Meng De also wants to be the leader of the princes and alliance? So he came to persuade Zhao Lei and wanted Zhao Lei to support Meng De?" Zhao Lei cut to the chase, Aggressive, without leaving the slightest leeway.
Cao Cao was surprised at first, then shook his head, nodded again, and finally said: "Zihan's words are half right and half wrong."
Zhao Lei looked surprised, not knowing why, and said, "What is half right? Half wrong? I don't understand."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Cao visited Zihan as a lobbyist, and also for the position of leader. However, being a lobbyist was not to fuck himself, but to Yuan Benchu. Cao visited Zihan to invite Zihan. Han supports Yuan Benchu as the leader of the alliance, what does Zihan mean?"
Without deviousness, he stated his purpose straight to the point.
Cao Cao's move can be called upright, without the slightest concealment.
Zhao Lei was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect Cao Cao to be Yuan Shao's lobbyist. After a moment of silence, Zhao Lei asked, "Meng De, could it be that Yuan Benchu asked you to come?"
"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed loudly, stopped after a long time, shook his head and said, "Does Zihan think so highly of Yuan Benchu? Cao Cao is not talented, he served as a captain in the north of Luoyang, and he has quite a background in the court. As for his resume and official position No less than Yuan Benchu, although Yuan Benchu came from the Yuan family and has an outstanding family background, but Yuan Benchu still lacks the courage to order Cao Cao."
The tone is arrogant and arrogant.His expression was rebellious.
This was the first time Zhao Lei heard Cao Cao say such arrogant words.
At the same time, this remark was resounding. Cao Cao's expression fell into the eyes of Zhang Han and Zhao Yun, which also made them look sideways, and they also raised a sense of admiration for Cao Cao.Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance!
"Zihan was rude. I made brother Mengde laugh. Brother Mengde, please forgive me." Zhao Lei could afford it and let it go. He misunderstood Cao Cao and apologized immediately.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal for Zihan to have such thoughts."
Zhao Lei looked puzzled, and asked Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, I am a little confused. In terms of ability, prestige, and talent, you are not inferior to Yuan Shao at all. Why don't you fight for the leader of the alliance? Instead, you are a lobbyist for Yuan Shao. What about other people making wedding dresses?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao showed helplessness on his face, sighed, and said, "Zihan, you must know that Benchu and I have known each other since we were young, but we are close friends. However, we are also competitors when we are young. Although I was the caller for this alliance, after participating in it at the beginning, with his temper, he definitely wanted to be the leader of the princes and alliance, and beat me, he never wanted to lose to me in any aspect since he was a child."
"So if I fight with Ben Chu for this lord, and then add some other princes, it is very likely that the allied forces have already started fighting before they start choosing the lord."
"This is the first reason why I don't want to fight with Benchu."
"Wait, do you mean me by other princes?" Zhao Lei asked, interrupting Cao Cao.
Cao Cao waved his hand and vetoed: "No, I believe that Zihan has ideas about the position of the leader, but I also believe that Zihan will not fight for the leader."
"Why?" Zhao Lei asked with great interest when he heard that Cao Cao had broken his mind.
"Because from what I know about Zihan, Zihan is not a person who values these false names, so naturally, when the competition for the position of leader is so fierce, Zihan will not participate. For the same reason, I will not participate either. " Cao Cao said.
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Meng De, please tell me the second reason."
"Secondly, although Ben Chu is indecisive, his ability, reputation, and background are all excellent, and he is qualified to be the leader of the princes and alliance."
"Thirdly, Ben Chu was born in the Yuan family. The old Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. This is a major advantage of Ben Chu, and Ben Chu looks dignified and majestic. Ordinary. Comparing the two, the beginning is more appropriate."
The words came from Cao Cao's mouth. Although Cao Cao belittled himself, Zhao Lei didn't feel Cao Cao's inferiority complex.
In Zhao Lei's opinion, Cao Cao might be joking about himself.Or maybe it's a complaint against the hereditary system of the Eastern Han Dynasty!In this era, after listening to Zhao Lei, he was filled with emotion.
After getting in touch with Cao Cao several times, Zhao Lei felt that he was really different from Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao came from a famous family, and there was a sense of arrogance in his words. Even though Yuan Shao acted like a corporal, the pride in his bones was hard to get rid of. Even with a smile on Yuan Shao's face, it was difficult for people to really get close to Yuan Shao.Moreover, Yuan Shao paid attention to form, so he was doomed not to succeed.
Liu Bei is benevolent, but is it really benevolent?Zhao Lei didn't notice it.But Liu Bei was very scheming, and Zhao Lei could see it.
But having said that, in this era, every prince has his own management style. In this era, it can be said that no management style is wrong.But it can be said that at the end he stands at the apex, that is, the person who dominates the world, his style is at least in line with this era.
Therefore, Cao Cao's sentence that he would rather bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me has been infamous through the ages.But Zhao Lei didn't think so.After all, people are always selfish. In this era of great chaos, not only people change the environment, but the environment forces people to change.If you don't learn to be selfish and cruel, you will become someone else's meal.So it is understandable for Cao Cao to say such a thing.
