Unknowingly, Cao Cao drank too much while he and Liu Bei were asking and answering questions.
After saying the last words, he fell on the desk and snored like thunder, ending this heroic talk.
Xun Yu listened quietly from beginning to end, hoping to hear the affirmation of approval from the boss's mouth.
It's a pity that at the end, the praise must have come out, but it was given to his opponent Fang Guang.
In the thatched cottage not far from the pavilion is where Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drank and ate.
The four of them didn't eat much at all, let alone drink. They had eight eyes, glaring at the bull's eye, and the triangular eye at the red and phoenix eye. If Cao Cao hadn't been there, they would have started fighting.
The three counselors around Cao Cao looked at each other and saw the unwillingness in the other's eyes.
Yang Xiu thought carefully for a while and then shouted to the thatched cottage. Only then did Dian Wei and Xu Chu realize that their lord was drunk. They rushed out of the thatched cottage, one carrying Cao Cao on his back and the other holding a paper umbrella, to escort the lord back to his mansion.
After a while, only Xun Yu and the brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were left here.
"For Fang Guang'an to be so favored by the lord, Shuzi, Shuzi!"
"The yellow scarf boy has some abilities, but he's just an outstanding person. He's also blessed with spiritual energy. My lord, you think too highly of him!"
Xun Yu and Chen Qun knew that Da'er and Fang Guang were the common enemies, so they naturally became close to each other.
Yang Xiu was the cleverest. He vaguely knew Liu Bei's intentions. Suddenly, a poisonous plan flashed in his heart.
"Xuande, do you want to leave Xuchang and take charge of the party?"
"Didn't my lord give you a great opportunity to do this today? Just now, my lord appreciated Xuande so much, and we all heard it!"
"Master Yang, my lord is so complimentary. It's a pity that I haven't had time to tell you more about my ambitions!"
Liu Bei didn't understand the meaning of Yang Xiu's words. Cao Cao, the chief clerk, narrowed his eyes like a fox.
"Xuande should know that matters of aristocratic families do not have to be stated clearly before they can be accomplished!"
"My dynasty is most concerned about reputation, and when it comes to filial piety and integrity, we only listen to word of mouth. Xuande's word of mouth came from his lord himself. Xuande thought, if all the people in Xuchang, and even all the people in the world, knew the lord's words, the only hero in the world is Xuande.
Virtue and conduct, so what?"
"If Xuande is so famous all over the world, can General Zuo keep Xuande in Xuchang because he has done nothing in his duties? What if Cao Gong detains the hero he calls himself?"
Yang Xiu was so cunning that he awakened Liu Bei, who was not a pure and kind person, with just one glance.
Daer's face was filled with surprise, and he wanted to slap his thigh. Yes, Cao Cao, today's hero in Sikong's mouth, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, the first of the Three Heroes, with a reputation for benevolence and virtue all over the world, these four blessings, the buffs are stacked, and he wants to release them.
, isn’t your wish coming true?
"Dezu, I understand. I will definitely repay you for the kindness you gave me today if I have the opportunity to do so someday."
"It's just what my lord said just now, and I also brought Datong with me. After all, this Datong is still young. My lord praised him so much. I'm afraid that he won't be able to accept it and his life will be shortened!"
Liu Bei knew that Fang Guang was of his own lineage and was competing with aristocratic families. When Cao Cao was away, he showed some of his true nature. As expected, Xun Yu and Chen Qun glanced at him and were very satisfied.
Yang Xiu smiled coldly.
"Only a few of us heard what I just said. My lord drank too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember what I said today tomorrow."|
"Why don't I remember what my lord said about Datong? Wen Ruo and Chang Wen haven't heard this, right?"
"Exactly, Xuande's wine is good, and I was too drunk just now. I only remember the heroes in the world, and I only make you and Cao'er!"
"I am just like Wen Ruo!"
Xun Yu and Chen Qun were telling lies with their eyes closed. Even though Liu Bei knew it, they were just using their own hands to suppress Fang Guang in order to get rid of the sour mood of the great Simong and the general who marched to the east.
Chen Qun is even seeking revenge against his uncle Chen Chen and the Dongshi clan!
He was very bachelor. He bowed to the minister and his former subordinates in front of him and thanked him. He was extremely familiar with the world of martial arts!
The words have been spoken, and Xun Yu and Chen Qun no longer hold back.
"Gong Xuande can quickly ask the servants in the palace to spread the word about this matter. When the lord asked about it, he only said that the servants overheard it, and then it spread!"
"The three of us are in charge of the government office, and the aristocratic families are building momentum for Xuande. Your Majesty in the palace will surely hear the news. I heard that your Majesty has some resentment towards Xuande now!"
"Xuande should find an opportunity to enter the palace and talk things out, and everything will be fine!"
"I also hope that Xuande Xunzhi, together with us and Duke Cao, will serve as Han ministers and make progress together, so that today's troubles will not be in vain!"
The quality of the counselors around Cao Cao is far superior to that of Liu Bei's subordinates, including Jian Yong, who only knows how to scheme, Mi Zhu, a wealthy playboy, and Sun Qian, who can't handle big things and is too meticulous in small things.
After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened, nodded repeatedly, and accompanied the high-ranking disciples of the aristocratic family to have a few drinks in the pavilion before they dispersed.
After the wine dispersed, Liu Bei called Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and even Zhou Cang to discuss matters together!
Guan Yu's sword-wielding brother was already hanging out at Jingzhou dock when he was less than ten years old, and he was well-connected in the world.
After listening to the Lord's instructions, that night, it was still raining heavily in Xuchang City, so he took some money and disappeared in the rain.
The next day, on the streets of Xuchang, the saying "Heroes in the world are the only heroes in the world" spread widely.
For two consecutive days, this sentence became more and more popular. In the end, even the old woodcutter in the mountains outside Xuchang City knew that there was a man with big ears who was highly appreciated by the high officials of Xuchang, and he was a descendant of the Liu family!
Cooking wine and discussing the world of heroes can be described as the top work of public opinion manipulation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao was indeed drunk. When people around him mentioned this to him, he vaguely remembered that he had said it, but it was more than that!
This kind of thing is not a big deal, and there is no need to explain or refute the rumors. Yuan Shao is about to call, and Sikong Quan is a big deal, so he put this public opinion aside.
Cao Cao would not know, because of these words, in just two days, Liu Bei's mansion, which was originally crowded at the door, turned into a busy place.
The Xuchangcheng family and many of the world's leading scholars who came with Liu Xie came to visit this hero in Cao Gong's words.
For a time, General Zuo was known to be a benevolent and virtuous man who could be reused, which made Xuande's reputation soar like a rocket.
Facts have proved that if a man can do it, a woman can do it.
The unruly Mrs. Mi saw that the people who came into the house to visit her husband were all from famous families in the world, and she couldn't help but be flattered by Big Er's tone.
Xuande thought that he would launch another attack and use the Mi family's money, so he gritted his teeth and made out with his wife several times. He fought against the pain in his back and made General Zuo's mansion a harmonious one.
Just when the wine-making affair was fermenting, Fang Guang's residence in Xuchang, Fang Guang, also received a letter from Xu You through Guan Hai, and the people from the Number Gang completely conveyed Yuan Benchu's arrangements to the Chief Secretary.
Farmer’s desk!
Yuan Shao joined forces with Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu to attack from five directions. The force was more ferocious than Guandu sounded, and Fang Guang was also surprised.
