Chapter 129 Liu Bei and Cao Pi appear again
Although it has become a trend during this period to abandon Liu Xie's forces and join Cao Cao's forces, even Dong Cheng did it. But Liu Bei is still the leader among them.
A man who was famous for his benevolence and righteousness and who was loyal to the Han Dynasty suddenly changed his stance. This incident became a talk among many people after dinner.
It can be said that it has damaged Liu Bei's reputation to a certain extent. Moreover, this incident has spread to the outside world as time goes by.[
Although Liu Bei still retains his reputation as a benevolent and righteous person, he is actually not as good as before.
However, Liu Bei himself did not seem to be affected much. During this period, he still lived in seclusion, except for the morning court meetings that he had to attend or important invitations.
Liu Bei enjoyed growing vegetables in his mansion and kept a low profile.
Originally, Dong Cheng felt that Liu Bei was a like-minded compatriot. Later, after Liu Bei's stance changed, Dong Cheng's impression of Liu Bei changed fundamentally.
Coupled with Liu Bei's seclusion during this period, Dong Cheng felt a conspiracy. Once again, thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise this guy who looks good but has a vicious heart might be betrayed by this guy one day.
And he even counted money for this guy.
He hated Liu Bei very much in his heart, but on his face, Dong Cheng also smiled and turned his head, seeing Liu Bei's carriage, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were always following Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's carriage gradually approached. Although the soldiers guarding Dong Cheng were wary, they did not stop it.
When Liu Bei's carriage approached, Dong Cheng also raised his fist and said with a smile: "It turns out to be General Zuo." Then, Dong Cheng asked again: "General Zuo also went to Sikong Mansion to celebrate his birthday?"
Of course Liu Bei didn't know Dong Cheng's disgust. He just followed the trend and came to congratulate Cao Cao on his birthday. When he saw Dong Cheng, he greeted him.
Nowadays, he and Dong Cheng have the worst reputations in Xudu City. One is the emperor's uncle, and the other is a relative, both of whom betrayed Liu Xie. Even though they are the same, Liu Bei sometimes feels sympathy for Dong Cheng when he sees them.
Hearing this, he raised his fist and said with a smile: "Exactly."
"Come with us." Dong Cheng invited with a smile.
"It should be so." Liu Bei nodded happily. Immediately, the two carriage guards began to merge and entered the Sikong Mansion together.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the door of Sikong Mansion.
Outside the gate, there was a lot of traffic and entourages everywhere. It really demonstrated what it means to be busy and what it means to be crowded, and it also showed how prominent Cao Cao is today.
Dong Cheng and Liu Bei looked at each other with different thoughts.
Dong Cheng was disgusted, this was supposed to be Liu Xie's style.
Liu Bei was envious and felt that this was what a man should be like.
Although there were many people celebrating his birthday this time, Cao Cao still showed his usual caution and did not condescend. He used his identity as the host to receive the civil and military ministers who came to celebrate his birthday.[
Not only did he not show off his status, but he was very humble. He sent his eldest son Cao Pi to greet him outside the door.
The combination of Liu Bei and Dong Cheng was quite eye-catching. It also attracted Cao Pi's attention. Liu Bei and Dong Cheng were supposed to be iconic figures on Liu Xie's side, but now they have become members of the Cao family.
member.
This is of great significance. Therefore, on Cao Cao's side, Liu Bei and Dong Cheng are more respected and trusted than most people imagine.
