Liu Bei's consolation didn't have much effect, Cao Cao still sighed, full of decadence and disappointment: "I can't win against Lu Bu with the power of a state, even if there is another time, I can't win against him..."
Hey~
Cao Cao sighed, "Mr. Xuande, be more careful!"
The seemingly unintentional sigh reminded Liu Bei.
At present, Lu Bu has Guanzhong, Sili, Xiliang, Hanzhong, Bingzhou and other places. In addition to Yanzhou that he won not long ago, almost half of the territory of the Han Dynasty is in his hands. Counselors are like clouds and counselors are like rain, and their power is like the sun.
After winning Yanzhou, if Lu Bu does not return to Guanzhong, [-]% of the next strategic direction will be between Jizhou and Xuzhou.
As strong as Cao Cao lost to Lu Bu, Liu Bei, who has not yet completed the unification of Xuzhou, is even less of Lu Bu's opponent.
what can we do about it?
Liu Bei fell into deep thought.
Looking at the frustrated Cao Cao in front of him, suddenly, a spiritual light flashed quietly in his mind.
Liu Bei straightened his clothes and asked Cao Cao, "I don't know what Meng De thinks of Lu Bu?"
"He's called the Great General, but he's actually a thief who steals the country!"
Hearing this question, it was like a drunk Cao Cao yelled loudly, drunkenly: "Relying on the credit of rescuing His Majesty from Dong Zhuo, he controlled the government and the public, acted recklessly, and played with all the officials of the emperor. I think Ask him, in this world, is his surname Liu or Lu!"
Liu Bei's spirit was greatly lifted, and he immediately took out the secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, please read this letter."
Cao Cao opened it for a look, and a sternness flashed in his cloudy eyes, then disappeared, and he returned to his appearance when he was drunk. Please do it! I don't blame you."
Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open, and his body exuded a stern aura. As long as the eldest brother gave an order, he could go up and take off Cao Cao's head in minutes.
Sensing the dangerous aura, Dian Wei took two steps forward at the same time and stood by Cao Cao's side to prevent the enemy from attacking him.
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"If I wanted to kill you, why would I have a drink with you here?"
Liu Bei poured himself a glass of wine with a calm expression.
"Then Xuande means..." Cao Cao asked tentatively.
"Lv Bu's move is nothing more than to borrow a knife to kill people, but he underestimated me, how can I be a villain who betrayed my friends for the sake of fame!" Liu Bei said loudly and righteously.
Hearing this, Second Brother Guan narrowed his Danfeng eyes and stroked his long beard, as if he was proud of his elder brother.
"The Han Dynasty was in decline, treacherous ministers stole their lives, which caused the Lord to be dusted. He did not live up to his virtue and strength, and wanted to believe in righteousness in the world, but he is still weak today, and he is ashamed of the world..."
Liu Bei stood up, talked about his ideals and ambitions, and by the way, spurred a wave of Cao Cao: "You are a loyal and good man of the Han Dynasty, and you are dedicated to serving the country. How can you be so depressed because of a small setback!"
Cao Cao's hands stopped moving, and he seemed to be moved intentionally. He sighed and said, "It's not Cao who doesn't want to revitalize the Han Dynasty and save the emperor, but now he doesn't even have a place to live. It's really powerless."
Without further ado, Liu Bei said immediately: "If you want to regroup, I am willing to temporarily lend Pengcheng to Mengde. At that time, you and I will join forces to fight against Lu Bu!"
In fact, Liu Bei also knew that even if Cao Cao returned to Pengcheng, it would be to make room for those local families. He estimated that even the soup would be difficult to drink.
Such lessons learned are not uncommon.That being the case, it is better to use it to find an ally for yourself.
Cao Cao was greatly moved and shed two lines of tears.
At about dusk, Cao Cao left Xuzhou City, and went to Pengcheng with the document stamped with the state pastoral seal.
On the way, Dian Wei, who was following him, said honestly, "My lord, this Shijun Liu is really a good man!"
nice guy?
There was a sneer at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, heh, this guy is far smarter than he imagined.
Why was it only loaned to Pengcheng, not other places?It was because Pengcheng stood between Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and if Lu Bu wanted to enter Xuzhou, he had to break through Pengcheng first.
Liu Bei sounds nice, but in fact, he is using me as a shield!
Cao Cao didn't say these words, he was bored in his heart.
Seeing that the lord did not answer, Dian Wei asked again: "Then will you dismiss our army?"
Cao Cao shook his head.
The Han Dynasty has not yet flourished, and I, Cao Mengde, will not give up until he dies!
This is my lifelong ambition!
Chapter 4000 Awakening of Insects ([-] words)
As time goes by, before you know it, the winter snow melts and the beginning of spring is ushered in.
During these two months, Lu Bu's army entered the main city of Yanzhou, successfully merged with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others, and also recruited tens of thousands of Taishan bandits. Li, Changxi and others were also compiled as Xiaowei, named "Taishan Army".
With the addition of Zang Ba, this is even more powerful in terms of Lu Bu's strength.
Two days ago, there was a spring rain in Yanzhou, and the soil on the ground was mixed with rainwater, making it difficult to walk in the mud with potholes.
On the 28th of the first lunar month, the waking of insects.
There is an agricultural proverb: When it comes to the Waking of Insects Festival, the hoe will not stop.
In the fields outside Yanzhou City, the farmers with their trouser legs rolled up got busy early on, wielding their hoes, vigorously renovating the soil in the fields, removing weeds, and bowing their waists to sprinkle crop seedlings in the pits. Sow grain.
Plant a grain of millet in spring, and you can harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn.
On the muddy dirt road in the distance, three men and a woman were walking towards this side.
The man in the middle was tall and tall. Although he was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, his posture with his head held high and his steady and powerful steps all resembled soldiers in a military camp.
On his left is a boy about ten years old, with a slightly silly face, with a shoe of yellow mud on his feet, he immediately picked it off, played with it in his hands, changed into various shapes, and made ugly clay figurines .
On the right hand side is a lively and charming girl with a smile on her face and innocent eyes.Chewing the candy and sour fruit that my mother sent from Chang'an, with a happy expression of enjoyment on my face.
The young man in green shirt next to the girl is handsome and has an indescribable chic.
This group of people was Lu Bu, his sons and daughters, and his son-in-law Guo Jia.
After being stationed in Yanzhou, Lu Bu has been busy with government affairs in the city almost all the time. Besides, he also has to meet with families from all over Yanzhou, discuss the re-division of interests, integrate the local army, and transfer the garrison generals of various places...
It wasn't until the last few days that I got free time.
After staying in the city for a long time, the boring little bell shouted to go out of the city to play and feel the breath of nature.Lu Bu was free anyway, so he took the opportunity to inspect the spring plowing of the people.
As we walked along the way, Lu Bu began to think about testing his son: "Man, I will test you as a father. What kind of solar terms are you doing today?"
