Chapter 248, Heroes in the World, Only the King Yu Caoer
"Miscellaneous praise, false praise, Xuande is so complimentary!"
"There are so many heroes in the world, who do I mean? Come, Xuande drinks this wine with me."
Cao Cao had the same idea as Chen Qun. He only felt that Liu Bei's flattery was not flattery no matter how you heard it, but an explanation from the heart.
He was so happy that he drank a drink with Da Er in the electric light. He glanced around and saw a somewhat familiar figure, striding towards the pavilion from the doorway in the rain.
"Dezu, why are you here? You are still in such a mess. What's the big deal?"
"My lord, this is a reply from Yuan Shao of Yecheng, and I just sent it back to the city!"
"Oh? Yuan Shao replied to the letter. I didn't write a long letter at first. I used the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes to despise the people around me. Now, what's the matter?"
After hearing Yang Xiuzhi's words, Cao Cao felt a cold light flash in his eyes.
A hero knows Yuan Shao's temper best.
Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie and Yuan Shao initially looked down upon him, but when Cao Cao took control of the emperor, Yuan Shao felt like a cat's claws in his heart.
This man was very scheming and decisive, so Cao Cao gave up the positions of general and lieutenant to ease the situation. Now it seems that this matter may not go smoothly.
In the rain, Yang Xiu ran into the pavilion. Without even having time to wipe off the water droplets on his body, he took out a letter from his arms and delivered it to Cao Cao.
Cao Mengde tore open the envelope sealed with lacquer, glanced at the original handwriting twice, then snorted coldly and slapped the letter in his hand heavily on the desk in front of him.
The sound of "Bang!" made Xun Yu, Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu tremble in shock.
Among the people who were close, only Liu Bei remained calm, which made Cao Cao, who was having a seizure, see him and narrowed his eyes.
"I was originally asked to dedicate the emperor to the north and go to Yecheng to calm the world. Otherwise, we will send millions of troops to the south. Let's see how this goes?"
"Ming Gong, Yuan Shao's move is so fierce but he is so fierce. Although there are millions of soldiers in Hebei, they can't defeat Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. The soldiers are exhausted. How can they come south with all their strength?"
"That's it. My lord, Yuan Shao's big hand will reach out to Xuchang sooner or later. This battle came a few years too early. It means handing over Emperor Xian. What if he wants Dongjun and Yanzhou again?"
"My lord, what are the four generations and three princes? My lord will personally lead the army. Dian Wei and I are willing to be the vanguard together with Datong. We will definitely insert the four courtyard pillars in Hebei on the beach by the Yellow River for your lord's entertainment!"
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou have such a great reputation. I don't know if it's because of my hard head or the sharpness of my halberd!"
Around Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu all had the same opinion, fight!
After hearing what everyone said, Meng De suddenly calmed down. He chuckled lightly, twisted the letters on the table with his fingers, walked to the pavilion, tore up a few handfuls and threw them into the wind and rain.
The strong wind and heavy rain blew the pieces of bamboo paper scattered between the sky and the earth.
Cao Cao stood by the pavilion with his hands folded and began to think quietly.
In the pavilion, everyone looked at the boss's generous back. Liu Bei's face was solemn, and his mind was racing, calculating how much profit this sudden change contained.
"What Datong said is right. In the beginning, I hit my opponent! No matter how good or bad I am, this is the destiny."
"Let's put this matter aside for the moment. Xuande, as we just said, is a hero in the world. Xuande thinks that Yuan Benchu, the fourth generation and the three princes, may be a hero in the world?"
"This family has many disciples and former officials, and Hebei is full of talented people. Could Yuan Shao be a hero?"
"Mr. Cao, Yuan Shaose is fierce and timid, and he is always scheming. My lord is very accurate!"
"I think, except for these two things, if this person does great things but cherishes his own life, and sees small profits and forgets his life, he cannot be called a hero!"
"Xuande, you said it well. Where is Liu Biao of Jingzhou? Can he be a hero?"
"Although Liu Biao and Bei are both members of the Han clan, he has no ambitions and is addicted to the ways of the scribes. Not to mention Duke Cao, my three brothers can capture him with thousands of elite soldiers!"
The boss's assessment is a major matter. Why does Liu Bei care about the Liu family?
In this world, the drama of cooking wine and discussing heroes is still there, but the question and answer has been transformed into Cao Cao's questions and Xuande's comments.
However, although Big Er is full of darkness, he has always liked to delve into world affairs since childhood, and his skill in blowing water is extremely high, which coincides with what Cao Cao has in mind.
Cao Mengde felt that the most itchy place in his heart was tickled by his big ears one after another. He felt very happy. When Liu Bei commented on someone, he would drink a glass of wine.
In an instant, after drinking several cups of soju, Cao Cao's head slowly became dizzy.
"Well said, where is Sun Bofu? Jiangdong Tiger, a good friend of Datong, can he be a hero?"
"My lord, Sun Ce can only be protected by his father Sun Jian, so how can he be considered a hero? This time in Datong, you are not sure."
"How about Huainan Yuan Shu?"
"To be honest, Ming Gong, Yuan Shu used ten times as many troops to defeat the three of my brothers. If it weren't for Lu Bu's sneak attack, this man would have been a withered bone in the grave at this time, and he wouldn't even be considered a hero!"
When Liu Bei talked about Yuan Shu, his face was full of contempt, completely forgetting that he was chased by Yuan Shu's subordinate Ji Ling for hundreds of miles, and was finally saved by Lu Bu shooting a halberd at the gate.
When Cao Cao saw Big Er's look of contempt, he felt his mind getting more and more dizzy. He tilted his head and asked about the last hero.
"There is another person who came from humble beginnings. Three brothers, all of whom have obscure family backgrounds. Although they are related by clan, they are not noble and have nowhere to show their talents. However, they have fought thousands of miles. Now they are the general on the left in front of His Majesty. I don't know, but he can be a hero.
?”
The person Cao Cao asked was none other than Liu Bei.
Big Er's mind was spinning, and he was thinking about how to answer this question. In the sky, lightning flashed like lightning, and then a thunder exploded, like a thunderbolt.
"Crack!" There was a sound, and Liu Bei seemed to be frightened by the thunder. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Xuande, just now Dezu reported the great changes in Hebei. Yuan Shao led his troops here. Everyone looked frightened. Only Xuande did not change his expression. Why is Xuande panicking now despite the mere sound of thunder?"
Cao Cao's face was flushed with drunkenness, and he turned his head and looked straight at Liu Bei.
Great blessing to the soul. Fortunately, I haven't read the books in the past few days in vain.
"Cao Gong, Yuan Shao, and Pifuer have led their troops to come and harm themselves. There is nothing to be alarmed about."
"This thunder is a sign from the sky. The ancients said that a gentleman should hide his fear, know the will of God, and respect the way of heaven. What I am afraid of is not the thunder and lightning, but the changes in the way of heaven."
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect Xuande's knowledge to be so profound, and Dong Ru's understanding of the relationship between heaven and man is also clear in his heart."
"Haha, I am a hero, Xuande is also a hero, and there are heroes in the family. Only Shijun, Cao'er, and Datong are the heroes in the world. In addition to their heroic spirit, they are also blessed by spiritual energy!"
There are many differences between Fang Tiandi's version of the classic saying about heroes when boiling wine, and the historical records.
Liu Bei received Cao Cao's approval, but it seemed to be a bit of a joke. At the end of Cao Cao's words, he valued his life-long enemy Fang Guang so much that Da Er felt happy first and then worried.
