Chapter 103 Liu Bei: I am a potential stock
"General Liu is here? Quickly lead me there." Liu Xie said pleasantly.

Following the footsteps of his attendants, Liu Xie hurried to the side hall.

In the side hall, Liu Bei was already sitting on the big chair. When he saw Liu Xie coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty..."

"General Liu, why should you be so polite?" Liu Xie took Liu Bei's hand warmly, sat down, and said kindly, "According to seniority, I should still call you uncle."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Liu Bei said with a look of panic: "Your Majesty can just call me by my name."

"Hey, let's call him Uncle Liu Huang." Liu Xie said.

At this moment, a young man of seventeen or eighteen was holding the hand of a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he looked very affectionate, without any sense of disobedience.

"General Liu, do you know why I called you here?" Liu Xie asked.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and was about to say he didn't know, but seeing Liu Xie's face was smiling but still looking heavy, he had a plan in his heart and said, "Could it be because of Cao Taiwei's matter?"

"The general really deserves to be my royal family!" Liu Xie patted his thigh, then gritted his teeth and said, "I think back then, when I was in Luoyang, although the conditions were not very good, with the protection of Yang Feng and other generals, I was still free. .

But now, it has been two years since I arrived in Xudu, but I can't help myself in everything, and there is no one around me who I can trust.

Being under the control of others all day long, my prestige is also going from bad to worse, alas. "

When Liu Xie said that he was emotional, his eyes even turned red, and he squeezed out a few tears.

"Your Majesty...why did you come to this?" Liu Bei was surprised and said, "Taiwei Cao is a bit arrogant, but he is a courtier of a great man after all, how could he do something out of line?"

"The general doesn't know something." Liu Xie said fiercely: "Look at today, Cao Mengde's attitude towards me in the hall is the attitude that a courtier should have towards the monarch?
What I want to do, I have to listen to him Cao Mengde, so, the emperor, is he a real emperor?I am a puppet!A puppet emperor at his mercy!
Even if I am talking with the general now, if it is not in the side hall, and I have ordered my cronies to watch over me, I am afraid that Cao Cao would even know the content of our conversation.

Even so, news of my secret talks with General Liu will be sent to Cao Cao's desk tomorrow. "

Liu Bei took a deep breath. He knew that Cao Cao was powerful in the court and the public, but he didn't expect that he was so big that even the emperor didn't pay attention to him. Otherwise, Liu Xie wouldn't come to complain to him.

"Then...Cao Cao is like this, really not a courtier!" Now that Liu Xie has shown resentment towards Cao Cao, Liu Bei is not called Cao Taiwei anymore. Anyway, there is no one here, and he emphasized:
"Great rebellion, great rebellion!"

"It's more than treason!"

Liu Xie left two lines of tears, covered his chest and said in pain:
"I feel that the hundreds of years of the great man's foundation will be ruined in my hands. How can I treat the great man's ancestors!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to be talented. I think that Your Majesty is talented, but there is no suitable opportunity. As long as you find an opportunity, you will be able to overthrow Cao Cao in one fell swoop and restore the glory of the great man!"

Liu Bei quickly comforted him.

"Overthrowing Cao Cao in one fell swoop and recasting the glory of the great man, why don't I want to, but I suffer from the fact that there are no talents under my command."

Liu Xie said bitterly: "Now I have no one under my command, but there are many civil servants who support me, but there are very few generals who can go to battle to kill the enemy and want to be military generals. The only few generals are useless. Why talk about these empty words!"

"If Your Majesty does not mind it, I am willing to serve Your Majesty as a pawn, to do the work of dogs and horses, and to do my part for the revival of my man." Liu Bei immediately saluted when he heard this, and said sincerely with his hands on his chest.

"General please hurry up, the general is willing to serve the great man, it is the luck of the misfortune.

Unfortunately, I don't have such a loyal general by my side, and fortunately, I still have a general by my side. "Liu Xie hurriedly helped Liu Bei, and said.

"Willing to relieve His Majesty's worries." Liu Bei said.

"I don't know how many generals and soldiers the general has under his command?" Liu Xie chatted a few more words and asked inadvertently.

What he values ​​most now are soldiers and horses. Without soldiers and horses, everything is empty talk. Only when his subordinates have soldiers and horses can he have the details to act.

As for Liu Bei... Liu Xie felt that Liu Bei should not have many troops, because Cao Cao probably would not delegate power to his generals.

Except for cronies, obviously Liu Bei is not.

Even if there are not many, Liu Xie thinks there should be thousands of people, thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough for him to do some small things.

After all, although what he said just now was miserable, Cao Cao still didn't dare to touch him. No matter what he said, he was the emperor of the big man. If he dared to touch him, he would be rebellious and would be cast aside by all the officials and people of the big man. Cao Mengde didn't have the guts.

So I still have time to develop, as long as I have a few soldiers and horses, and rely on the support of some generals, I can overthrow Cao Cao just around the corner.

But Liu Bei's answer disappointed him greatly.

"There are two virtuous younger brothers who fought against Lv Bulu Fengxian at the Humen Pass. They have the courage of the world, and their leadership skills are also outstanding. They are just soldiers..." Liu Bei said awkwardly:

"Bei originally had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but later he was attacked by Lu Bu, not only lost his territory, but also had very few soldiers and horses left.

Later, he could only belong to Cao Cao and act under Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was narrow-minded and refused to delegate power, so... so far, he only has hundreds of cronies. "

"Hundreds of people." Liu Xie was a little disappointed. He heard Cao Cao's meritorious service to Liu Bei in the hall just now, and he thought how many people Liu Bei had under his command. Unexpectedly, there were not even thousands, but only a few hundred.

What's the use of hundreds of troops, not as many guards and servants as there are in his palace?

Liu Bei saw the disappointment on Liu Xie's face, and knew that Liu Xie was dissatisfied with him, so he quickly increased his bargaining chip, saying: "Your Majesty, don't look at Bei's current troops, there are not many generals, but the potential power is still there. objective.

General Zhang Liao Zhang, General Chen Deng, etc., are all good friends with Bei and loyal to the big man, so they can be developed. "

Liu Bei also didn't care about the crime of deceiving the emperor. Anyway, Liu Xie didn't know about it, and he didn't have the ability to know it. It's a good thing that he can have more bargaining chips now.

"As for the soldiers and horses, there is one matter that Cao Cao has not reported to His Majesty.

When the army passed by Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou burned incense to cover the road, and played music and drums. Please keep it as the governor of the state. It's just that Cao Cao was worried and found excuses to deceive the people, so he missed this incident. "

Liu Bei believed in himself, this passage was not a lie, it happened for real, and he was very confident when he said it.

"General Liu really has such prestige in Xuzhou?" Liu Xie didn't believe it at first, but seeing Liu Bei's confident appearance, he asked.

"That's natural. This matter has to start with Tao Qian and Tao Shijun." Liu Bei said.
