"If the prime minister wants to eat, I happen to have some fresh ones at my place, and I will just ask my servants to go and get them."
Cao Cao nodded. If Liu Bei came here just to deliver food, it would really be a waste of his time.
"Since I came to Xudu, I have been taken care of by the Duke, but unfortunately there has been no repayment. Now Gongsun Zan in Youzhou has been defeated by Yuan Shao, and the four prefectures in Hebei have all fallen into Yuan Shao's hands. Since Yuan Shao won the north, he will definitely cross the Yellow River and Ming Dynasty. The Duke fights for the Central Plains. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, with the blood of the Emperor Gaozu flowing on his body, Yuan Shao is a traitor. How can he sit idly by at such a critical juncture? The Han Dynasty will not fall into the hands of traitors." Liu Bei even shed a few touching tears as he spoke.
Liu Bei is talented, and Cao Cao knows it well.
But precisely because of his great talent, Cao Cao had to guard against him.
"Xuande has a heart."
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't let go, Liu Bei felt a little anxious, and thought to himself, if he couldn't find a way to escape at this moment, he might not be able to escape Cao Cao's control for the rest of his life.
"Yuan's bandit will go south at Guandu, Baima. You should lead a large army at Guandu to resist Yuan's army. Bei's lack of knowledge is useless, so he only wants to lead a partial army to the east of the river to attack Yuan's flank, cut off his food and grass, and disturb his army's morale. Therefore, Yuan Jun will be defeated, and Ming Gong will be victorious."
Seeing that Liu Bei was so sincere, Cao Cao couldn't refuse.
"Since Xuande has such a heart, in the future, His Majesty Zhuo Ming will lead a partial army into the east of Hanoi and attack Yuan Shao's flank."
Liu Bei was overjoyed and left.
Just at this time, Guo Jia came and ran into Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Bei's high interest, he secretly became suspicious.
"Ming Gong!"
Cao Cao looked up and saw that it was Guo Jia who was coming, nodded slightly and said: "Just now Liu Xuande wanted to lead an army to Hedong, I thought about it for a moment, and finally agreed to him."
Guo Jia frowned slightly upon hearing this.Going out to fight, logically, it should be close to death, and many generals even only want to stay in the rear, rather than go into battle to kill the enemy.Judging from Liu Bei's behavior just now, it is indeed too happy.
The more so, the more disturbed Guo Jia felt.
"Duke Ming, Liu Bei has been ambitious since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Jia has dissuaded Duke Ming many times. It is better to kill him early to avoid serious troubles. Now that it is difficult to implement it, the Duke asked him to lead the army. Isn't it true? Meat buns beating dogs will never come back, Wang Gong think twice, don't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Cao Cao shook his head with a smile and said: "Liu Bei is a hero, but in front of me, Cao Cao, he can only be an unsuccessful hero forever. Heroes are useless, so how can they have any energy. Besides, he is in danger. If you kill him, how will the people of the world think of me, and how will the world think of me. I, Cao Cao, have always regarded talents as my destiny, so I must not spoil my reputation because of a little Liu Bei."
Guo Jia couldn't persuade him, but he had no choice.
"Fengxiao Wuyou, I will let Zhongkang and Gongming accompany me. With them by my side, even if Liu Bei is really ambitious, there will be no trouble."
With Xu Chu and Xu Huang accompanying the army, Guo Jia felt a little relieved.
"By the way, you came here in a hurry, but what's the matter?"
Guo Jia's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Shicai, the secret agent has been reported. The nobles of the Han Dynasty seem to be ready to move. I dare not judge lightly. This is the report to the lord."
Chapter 238
As soon as Liu Bei returned home, Dong Cheng hurried over to meet him.
Liu Bei hurriedly asked his servants to close the gate, looked at the man in front of him with a livid face, and said, "I'm not telling you, don't come to my place if you have nothing to do. If someone bumps into us, what we are planning will be known to outsiders."
Dong Cheng actually didn't want to, but the emergency made him have to come.
"Mr. Xuande, I don't want to come either, but the situation is urgent, so I have to come. Just now, the news came from Prince Fu. Guo Jia seems to have noticed us. He told us to be careful during these days, and we must not If Guo Jia found out, it would be a big deal."
When Liu Bei heard this, his hairs stood on end.
Between great joy and great sorrow, if it weren't for someone with a big heart, I'm afraid I'd have to hold my breath all of a sudden.
It was not easy for him to get an errand from Cao Cao and was able to escape.Over there, these pig teammates actually dug such a big hole for themselves. If it wasn't for the sake of Dong Cheng's single-mindedness, he really wanted to kick him out.
"Some people know what we are planning, how can we be so careless and be known by others?"
Dong Cheng was also full of anger. He looked at Liu Bei and said helplessly: "If you want to blame, you have to blame the prince for being too careless. After returning, his concubine accidentally found His Majesty's blood book. The blood book is too obvious, even though he is strict. Warning, but it was still spread by the concubine. Now, Wang Zifu has killed the concubine and the servants who know in the mansion, so I told Xuande, don't leak the news."
Liu Bei let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we really cannot escape the guilt."
Dong Cheng was a little puzzled, this is already dead without proof, how could it be hard to escape the guilt?
Liu Bei explained: "If Wang Zifu didn't kill his concubines and servants, even if the news leaked out, we could cover it up and confuse Cao Cao. But now, you killed all the witnesses, it doesn't mean telling Cao Cao, we I have a ghost in my heart."
Dong Cheng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words, if Liu Bei hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground.
"Then... what should we do then?"
Liu Bei invited Dong Cheng to come in, and then invited Li Shanchang to discuss the matter.
Li Shanchang sighed after hearing this.It's a pity that things have come to such a point, and it's useless to pursue personal problems. You might as well find a way to remedy it.
"Shanchang, is there a way?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, in this situation, is there a plan?"
Li Shanchang frowned slightly, pacing back and forth in the room.
The success of a strategy does not lie in whether the strategy is clever, but in whether the trickster cannot see through it.
If you can see through it, no matter how high the strategy is, it will be in vain.
"My lord, Dong Gong, I have no good countermeasures for the current plan. There is only one plan to keep everyone safe."
Dong Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Abandoning the car to save the handsome man is the only way to take care of the overall situation and keep everyone safe. Except, there is no other way."
"Abandon the car to protect the handsome man?" Dong Cheng's body shook suddenly, and the brilliance in his eyes disappeared immediately.
What is a car, what is handsome, is extremely obvious.
If you want to protect His Majesty and the safety of these people, you can only sacrifice the prince's clothes.
The sacrifice of the prince and one person was exchanged for the safety of everyone.
"Other than that, is there any other way?"
Li Shanchang shook his head: "Besides, there is no good way to do this in a hurry. I hope the lord and Dong Gong will think about it carefully. Even if a strong man loses his arm, he must make a quick decision. If it is too late, I'm afraid it will make this matter worse. The more chaotic it gets, the more it will not end."
When Dong Cheng heard the words, he said goodbye to Liu Bei without saying much, and left quickly.
Looking at Dong Cheng's back, Liu Bei's previous joy also disappeared.
"Be good! Doing this is against morality. If people in the world know about it, they will laugh at us for being ruthless."
On the contrary, Li Shanchang saw it very clearly, shook his head and said: "The good man doesn't know these things. The good man only knows that those who achieve great things don't care about small details. Only the one who laughs last can judge others' right or wrong."
Liu Bei's eyes flickered when he heard this.
On the second day, news suddenly came that Wang Zifu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was killed by his servants because he accidentally killed his concubine.
