Chapter thirty-five, warm wine to send you
Cao Cao is not a blind person, but this time, he plans to make a bet, and for the first time, he bets for others - it is an honor for me, Cao Mengde, to speak for you and bet for you, Guan Yunchang!
The princes present, including the alliance leader Yuan Shao, and even Liu Bei and Guan Yu themselves, were all surprised when they saw this scene.[]
No way, Cao Mengde actually stood up at this time, or for an unrelated person, what on earth was he thinking?
Yuan Shao, who thought he knew Cao Cao better, couldn't help but frown. In his opinion, this was really inconsistent with Cao Cao's behavior, especially since Guan Yu seemed to him to be a big talker and untrustworthy. He had no hope for Guan Yu.
I don’t want something to go wrong when Cao Cao expresses his opinions randomly. It won’t look good.
Generally speaking, although Cao Cao was a little annoyed with Yuan Shao because the article Chen Lin published was very meant to grab credit, the friendship between them for more than ten years was not fake, and Yuan Shao would still consider Cao Cao in his heart.
Cao Cao didn't seem to care at all. He looked at Guan Yu at this time, but continued to say something that surprised everyone present: "Guan Yunchang, if you don't die this time, then I, Cao Mengde, will always open the door for you..."
It sounds like Cao Cao doesn't just simply appreciate Guan Yu?
The princes were all confused. No one knew what Cao Cao was thinking, let alone where his current so-called confidence came from.
Liu Bei, who was wearing a white scholar's robe next to the seat of Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Peking, laughed a little when he heard the eight-foot tall man next to him muttering "pretending", but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but fell silent, but suddenly thought of something
question.
He was unwilling to think about these issues before, because at least before this, no one else had shown such a special attitude towards his two brothers, but it was different now, especially after Cao Cao said
After those words were spoken.
In fact, there are no stupid people here, who could not see Cao Cao's obvious move of extending an olive branch?
The meaning behind the words was so obvious that it could even be called explicit. Some people were surprised, some just waited to see the show, some just watched and didn't care, and naturally, some were secretly suspicious.
On the other hand, Cao Cao's own idea was actually very simple, because regardless of whether Guan Yu had real talent or knowledge, it would be good for him.
If Guan Yu is really capable, then of course it will be great. When Guan Yu comes back after killing Hua Xiong, Cao Cao and everyone will have a sharp contrast with their different views and attitudes towards Guan Yu. If he wants to recruit Guan Yu, he will naturally be more capable than others.
Advantage, and the advantage that Cao Cao cares about more lies in the latter point, because of this, his reputation for knowing people will also spread. For Cao Cao, who is in urgent need of recruiting talents, this is a great publicity opportunity. Bole wants to find
A thousand-mile horse, why doesn’t a thousand-mile horse hope to find his own Bole?
On the other hand, even if Guan Yu had no ability and was killed by Hua Xiong like the others before him, it was his own fault that he lost his life because of his big words, and Cao Cao would have been the worst if he let other princes laugh at him.
Being despised, but this despise is exactly what he wants. After this time is over, he will not be so eye-catching. Low-key development and a blockbuster is exactly what that person has planned for himself.
After all, this is the advantage of betting on others. In fact, no matter what, you will not suffer any real loss. The only so-called loss of face is a gain.
However, few people present could see through Cao Cao's thoughts at this time, including Liu Bei who knew Guan Yu's value.
He was also confused at this time, what exactly was Cao Cao thinking?
Cao Cao didn't wait for them to react too much. His actions seemed to always be ahead of their thoughts. After saying those words, he walked to the side of the tent. There was a large desk with a shelf on it.
There are naturally several large jars of so-called celebration wine, and these wines are kept warm at all times. The secret is naturally that the heat provided by burning is under the desk, but it is a pity that they are of no use for the time being.
Cao Cao picked up a jar from it, picked up a bowl from the side and poured a full bowl of wine. Then he walked back to Guan Yu and handed the wine bowl forward, "Do you dare to drink?"
Guan Yufeng's eyes widened. He was able to do such a thing to himself, the target of ridicule among the princes. He couldn't help but be moved by this man's heroism and courage.
only……
Guan Yu couldn't help but glance at Liu Bei. He was not a person without opinions, but he was also smart enough to see the situation clearly. How could Guan Yu not hear the solicitation in Cao Cao's words just now? He was just silent.
I didn't want to provoke him casually, but I didn't expect him to behave like this. The behavior was somewhat beyond his expectation. Although he was not at a loss, he was a little confused about what to choose. So almost subconsciously, he immediately looked at
Looking at Liu Bei is like asking him with his eyes. This kind of thing requires the boss to make an decision. This is also due to the single-mindedness in Guan Yu's temperament.
At this time, Liu Bei's face looked a little ugly. In front of these seventeen princes, each one was equivalent to a behemoth to him. Even Gongsun Zan, who he had studied with, had reached the point where he wanted to look up to him, but Liu Bei was not a
A person who is willing to be inferior to others, this time he saw an opportunity to stand out. If he can seize this opportunity, he can at least make a name for himself, which will not harm the future. Therefore, he asked Guan Yu to attract everyone's attention and take the initiative to ask for a battle.
Moreover, he believed that as long as Guan Yu went into battle, he would be able to capture him. This was not blind and unreasonable, but a real confidence. Guan Yu was confident in himself, and he was confident in his brothers.
But unexpectedly, the request for war failed, but there were many complications. This sudden intervention of Cao Cao caught Liu Bei by surprise, and brought a serious crisis and sense of urgency. His desire to have his own power and power also became
It's getting stronger and stronger, and these things are not impossible in the near future.
Of course, the premise is that he can firmly grasp these two trump cards in his hand - Liu Bei thought as he glanced at Guan Yu and then at Zhang Fei beside him.
Over there, Guan Yu, who was frightened by Liu Bei's glance, immediately rejected Cao Cao righteously without saying anything more. However, his attitude made all the surrounding princes angry.
In their eyes, it was not Cao Cao who was humiliated at this time, but the face of the alliance of princes behind him. In their eyes, Guan Yu's actions were a naked provocation to the princes.
Which one is intolerable? The uncle can tolerate it, but the aunt cannot tolerate it. The superior princes decided to let this stupid young man know why the flowers are so red, but Cao Cao shook his head and stepped to stop him.
Guan Yu could see through Guan Yu's thoughts at a glance, which made Guan Yu feel a little relieved when facing Cao Cao's insightful gaze. At the same time, he also noticed his presumption just now, but the first thing he thought about was that he didn't want to implicate his eldest brother and third brother.
Cao Cao didn't know what Guan Yu was thinking at this time. He glanced at Liu Bei indifferently. He didn't seem to mind Guan Yu's rejection. He just smiled and said: "It seems that Yunchang wants to use this as a celebration drink.
In this case, Nacao will put this glass of wine here, and it will not be too late to drink it again when Yun Chang returns in triumph."
The title for Guan Yu was directly raised from the so-called warrior to the word shouting. It seemed intimate and without distance. It made Guan Yu feel good, but made Liu Bei's eyes narrow. At this time, Cao Cao was also looking at him, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Invisible collision.
