After Boss Cao accepted Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was so happy that he could not express it in words!
In order to win over the three brothers, he even ordered on the same day to stop marching and hold a banquet for Liu Bei and his group!
The high standard is quite rare in Cao Ying.
It is a gesture of respecting the wise and humble and accepting talents from all over the world! If ordinary people saw it, they would be moved to tears on the spot!
However, for a hero like Liu Bei, who has a heroic spirit and has never changed his lofty ambitions despite living everywhere, and is unwilling to be under others for a long time, how could he be bewitched by such a small profit in front of him?
Everything is just a show!
When everyone was toasting and changing cups.
The latest battle reports from the front line finally began to be delivered one after another...
Boss Cao was in high spirits after drinking.
In order to show his trust in Liu Bei and his group, he didn't even bother to be shy!
In his drunken eyes, he shouted and asked the messenger to read the report in public:
"No problem! Just read it in public!
Xuande and I are like brothers, there is no need to hide the military situation on the front line.……"
Xun You, Yu Jin and other confidants saw this and saw that their master had already spoken:
Even if they wanted to stop it, at this moment, they could only watch helplessly!
So, in full view of the public!
Only to see the victory report, one after another, began to spread in public:
"Report——!"
"My Lord, the latest victory report from General Yuan Rang on the front line!
The first group of the vanguard troops, arranged by the Second Young Master and Military Advisor Feng Xiao, led by General Yuan Rang, Deputy General Gong Ming and other 15,000 troops, defeated Gao Shun's army of 10,000 troops with thunderous force!
General Yuan Rang personally killed the enemy's deputy general Cao Xing!
Now one group of troops has captured Xiaopei City.……"
As soon as the words fell,
Xun You, Cao Hong, Yu Jin and other trusted generals couldn't help but congratulate in unison:
"Congratulations, my lord! The vanguard troops have already made great achievements in their first battle!"
Boss Cao smiled when he heard this:
"OK——!!"
In his joy, he could not help but turn to Liu Bei and said with a smile:
"Xuande! See, I was right!
Our vanguard troops have indeed come to support!
The siege of Xiaopei has now been lifted, haha……"
After hearing this, Liu Bei seemed happy on the surface, but in fact, his heart was bleeding!
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Fei, the young man, obviously hadn't reacted yet, and was delighted on the spot:
""Big brother, second brother! Great!
Xiaopei City has been recaptured!" Zhang Fei was so happy that he saw that his big brother and second brother looked unhappy. He was puzzled.
Seeing this, the counselor Sun Qian beside him could not help but whispered:
"Third General, it's too early to be happy about this!
Although Xiaopei was taken back, it was Cao's army that took it back from Gao Shun!
To be honest, I'm afraid that it has nothing to do with us now.……"
As soon as these words came out,
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment: as if he had been struck dumb by a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
Before Liu Bei and his men could come to their senses... then, they heard the second victory report from Cao's army:
"Report——!"
"My Lord, the latest victory report from General Miaocai from the front!
The second group of the vanguard troops, according to the arrangement of the Second Young Master and the military advisor Fengxiao, led by General Miaocai, General Mancheng and others, set up an ambush on the way between Xiaopei and Xiapi, and surrounded the enemy from the front and back with General Yuanrang and his troops!
In the end, a total of 8,532 enemy soldiers were killed and captured!
Countless armor and baggage were seized.……"
After hearing this, all the generals in Cao's camp were delighted again!
Boss Cao smiled even more.
With a turn of his eyes, he had roughly guessed the details of Cao Jian's deployment:
"So that's how it is... That brat actually had this idea?
No wonder -! No wonder Xuande and the others ended up in this situation!!"
"Driving out wolves and chasing away tigers, taking advantage of the chaos!
Fortunately, this stinky boy is brave enough to think and act.……"
While secretly criticizing him,
Boss Cao valued Cao Jian even more:
"This kid is like me! He will definitely be better than me in the future!"
"If the Cao family can really prosper in the future, it must be thanks to this boy.……"
While he felt very relieved, the faces of Liu Bei and his group became uglier and uglier!
Obviously, they had heard some clues from the two successive reports, and even vaguely guessed some truths!
So, the originally good welcoming banquet suddenly became tasteless...
Even with Liu Bei's shrewdness, he really didn't want to stay any longer: after a few simple compliments and pretending to congratulate, he immediately found a random excuse, and then led his brothers away with a dull mood...
After Liu Bei and his group strode back to their own tent in a hurry.
Zhang Fei, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, exploded again in an instant:
"Brother! I just heard the victory report from Cao Jun.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that we have been fooled."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily:
"Third brother, you guessed right!
In my opinion, we were indeed fooled by Cao's army!"
"Otherwise, why didn't the Cao army's vanguard come earlier or later?
Why did they wait until our city was breached and then rushed out with thunderous force?
Moreover, they had already ambushed and killed Lu Bu's defeated army halfway.……"
"If all this had not been premeditated, who would believe it?"
After hearing this, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other staff members nodded one after another, agreeing with it.
Liu Bei's expression at this time was even more wonderful. After a long silence with a dark face, he sighed:
"Alas! Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do but take it one step at a time.……"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei got angry again:
"What?! Big Brother——!!"
"We have all been made a fool of by others. Do we still have to compromise and endure this humiliation?"
"I…I’m so anxious!!"
Guan Yu raised his eyelids slightly, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were full of pride:
"Third brother is right!"
"Brother! Cao Mengde said before that he would join us to deal with Lu Bu.
But from the current situation, I am afraid that we have been just cannon fodder for them to clear the way! Do we really have to obey such a cunning man?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei's face was gloomy and miserable, almost as bitter as pig liver:
"Hey! My two brothers, how could I not know the current situation?
However, given the current situation, if we want to take back Xuzhou from Lu Bu?
I have seen that in the whole world, apart from Cao Mengde, there is no one else we can rely on!"
"What's more, Cao Mengde has long wanted to recruit talents from all over the world, and now he is praising us so much.
If he really wants to win the hearts of the people, he will not ignore us after he completely takes over Xuzhou.
We should just be patient. Do we still have to worry about not having a place to stand when the time comes?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes widened like lanterns, and finally he sighed helplessly:
"Oh! This matter has made me feel... I always feel suffocated.……"
Guan Yu was also quite unhappy about this. He squinted his eyes and snorted coldly:
"Big brother! Forgive my humble opinion, this is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!"
"Cao Mengde has always been treacherous. He seems to be very warm and familiar with us now, but he may not be sincere!
If he really wants to be friends with us sincerely, how could he deliberately leave us alone and take Xiaopei alone?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei frowned and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became a little depressing...
In the silence.
Jian Yong thought for a while and suddenly said:
"My lord, two generals!"
"I arrived at Cao's camp a little earlier than you all.
From what I have observed, Cao Sikong's attitude towards the lord is not false!
The reason why Xiaopei happened is all related to the second son of the Cao family, Cao Jian (Zixiong)!"
"All the plans on the front line seemed to be the work of the second son of Cao, and even Lord Cao was not fully aware of it.……"
As soon as these words came out, thunder roared out of nowhere!
Zhang Fei got angry again and shouted anxiously:
"What??"
"We didn't provoke that damn Second Young Master, why did he want to harm us like this?!"
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!!"
"If it was really that guy who did it, I don't care what a bullshit young master he is!
I must poke that guy into a transparent hole and vent my hatred! So that they know that our brothers are not easy to bully!!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei lowered his voice and shouted:
"Third brother, stop talking nonsense!!"
"We are still in Cao's camp! Be careful, there are ears behind the walls.……"
After finally calming Zhang Fei down,
Liu Bei frowned and said doubtfully:
"Xianhe, did you hear it right?"
"But I'm thinking, we have never met the Second Master Cao!
Since even Cao Sikong wants to win him over, why is he targeting us?
Is there some misunderstanding?"
Hearing this, Jian Yong looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Under the repeated urging of Liu Bei and others, he said uncertainly:
"I heard that the second son of Cao has some special hobbies that Cao Sikong has!
He likes women! Especially, good women.……"
"During my time in the camp, I occasionally heard soldiers mention that the second son of Cao had even fought with Cao Sikong and his son for a woman, and finally snatched her away alive!
This habit of his was vaguely better than his father's, and almost everyone in Cao's camp knew about it.……"
After hearing this, Liu Bei frowned for a moment, and soon thought of some possibilities!
Guan Yu even opened his eyes slightly, his face full of surprise:
"According to this, could it be that the little thief Cao has taken a fancy to the two sisters-in-law Gan and Mi?
That's why he deliberately designed to murder us like this? ?!" As soon as this guess came out!
Everyone was petrified on the spot!
At this moment, let alone the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang!
Even Sun Qian, Mi Fang and other staff members were filled with righteous indignation.
As long as they thought about it, it seemed that they were dealing with a famous Cao family playboy who was always thinking about other people's wives?
Everyone suddenly felt a chill!
Almost at the same time, they cursed in their hearts:
"That Cao Jian is really cheap!!!"
