"That's the case, I will do it myself." After being in an extremely awkward atmosphere for a while, Han Emperor Liu Xie finally said.
It happened that a mountain deer passed by, about fifty steps away from Liu Xie. Liu Xie raised his precious eagle bow, attached a golden arrow, resisted the urge to turn the arrow towards Cao Cao, and shot an arrow at the mountain deer.
The arrow landed on the grass a few feet in front of the deer's head and missed.
Liu Xie felt depressed and shot two more arrows in succession, but they all failed.
"But please Sikong shoot him!" Upon seeing this, Liu Xie said to Cao Cao angrily.
Mountain deer are relatively large among many prey species, and the distance of fifty steps is not particularly far. Logically speaking, even if your archery skills are mediocre, you will not waste all three opportunities. Now that all three arrows were missed, as a
Liu Xie, the emperor's lord, had completely lost his face. In this case, he could only ask Cao Cao to shoot his deer again, and then hope that Cao Cao would miss the shot. In that case, he could still lose some face.
.
Of course, this can only be a self-comforting thought. Although Cao Cao's shooting skills are not good, they are not too bad. Just now he shot a hare. Shooting a deer at a distance of fifty steps was not good for him.
It is said that it is not very difficult.
"I would like to ask your Majesty to use your bow and arrows." Cao Cao opened his mouth and said to the Han Emperor. Looking at his posture, it was clear that he meant "I won't shoot unless you give me the precious eagle bow and golden arrows."
When Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao wanted to ask for the precious eagle bow and golden arrows, although he felt unhappy, he still gave him the bow and arrows in his hand.
Cao Cao tightened his bow string and shot an arrow, hitting the mountain deer's back. The mountain deer let out a cry and fell to the ground dead.
The ministers in the distance were unaware of what was happening between Cao Cao and the Han Emperor. When they saw the royal golden arrows stuck on the back of the deer, they all thought it was shot by the emperor himself, so they all shot towards the Han Emperor.
Long live the direction you are in.
At the same time, Cao Cao slowly rode out and stood in front of the emperor to greet the ministers.
Seeing that Cao Cao dared to be so shameless, everyone was shocked, and the Han Emperor was gnashing his teeth behind Cao Cao, wishing he could pull out the sword on his waist and stab Cao Cao to death.
When Xun Yu saw all this, his face turned pale. Could it be that Cao Cao and the Han Dynasty were really at odds with each other? So where should he go?
Guan Yu's eyebrows were already twitching at this time, and the right hand holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was trembling continuously, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry in his heart.
I saw him gently pulling on the horse rope, obviously preparing to leap out of the horse and chop Cao Cao into two pieces with a single blow.
Zhang Fei on the side was also furious, preparing to rush out with his second brother on horseback to take Cao Cao's head.
Liu Bei noticed the strange behavior of his two foster brothers, and quickly winked at them, telling them not to be impulsive. When Guan and Zhang saw Liu Bei's hint, they could only hold back their chests and did not dare to act rashly.
"Sikong's shooting skills are superb." Liu Xie was probably already filled with energy and blood, but he had no choice but to force a smile on his face and congratulated Cao Cao.
"It's all thanks to your majesty's great fortune!" Cao Cao said with a smile. Then he saw that he hung the precious eagle bow without returning it to the emperor.
Liu Xie was originally waiting for Cao Cao to return the precious eagle bow to him, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually took the item used by the emperor as his own, and his face suddenly turned ashen.
"You!" Liu Xie pointed at Cao Cao, with words of abuse already on his lips, but he couldn't spit them out.
What's so scary! No matter how arrogant Cao Cao is, he is just my minister after all. I don't believe it. Even if I scold him a few times, he still dares to rebel!
Although he encouraged himself in this way, Liu Xie just couldn't make a sound from his mouth.
"Your Majesty, what else do you have to teach me?" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie with a smile. But in the eyes of the Han Emperor, that smile had a bit of chilliness in it.
"No, it's okay. Please help yourself, Sikong." Although he shouted in his heart countless times, "Scold him, tell him to return the precious eagle bow to me," but what finally came out of Liu Xie's mouth was just
It's just such a weak word.
——————————————————————————————————————“That thief Cao deceived the emperor and showed no respect for his superiors. I want to kill him.
We are eliminating harm for the country, why should I stop it?" After the field hunting, all the ministers went home. At this time, in the side hall of General Zuo's Mansion, Guan Yu was puzzled and asked Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sighed sadly and said slowly: "Cao Cao is a traitor to the country. I want to get rid of him quickly, but I have no choice but to throw a rat weapon. At that time, Cao Cao and the emperor were only a horse's head apart, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei were guarding him.
My second brother, you have just recovered from a serious injury and your strength has not yet been fully restored. Even with the combined strength of your two brothers, in that situation, I am afraid that you will not be able to achieve full success. If it is just that you cannot kill Cao Cao, then that is all.
At worst, three of us, my brothers, will be harmed by it. But if it harms the Emperor, we will be responsible for our death!"
Liu Bei burst into tears at this time, which was quite contagious. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only said that they cared about the emperor's safety, and they sighed repeatedly at the moment.
"By the way, Gongtai, Cao Cao suddenly held a field hunt. What do you think his intention was?" Liu Bei pretended to be sad for a while and then asked Chen Gong.
Chen Gong is now Liu Bei's mastermind. Liu Bei will not neglect Chen Gong like Lu Bu did. On the contrary, he always attaches great importance to Chen Gong. Liu Bei's civil servants such as Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others are all
Liu Bei is good at political affairs but poor at strategy, so Liu Bei has long lacked a role that can advise him. The arrival of Chen Gong has filled this gap very well.
"Cao Cao's move has two purposes. One is to establish his authority, and the other is to test the minds of the ministers and identify dissidents." Chen Gong heard the words and replied, "If you don't leave the palace as expected, my lord's actions in recent days
, has aroused the suspicion of Cao Thief. During the field hunting, although the lord stopped the two generals, Guan and Zhang, their behavior must have fallen into the eyes of Cao Thief's personal attendants. Cao Thief's attitude toward the lord
The alert will definitely be further deepened, and I am afraid there will be some action next..."
"Then what should I do now?" Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little confused after hearing this. Although he is now the emperor's uncle, if Cao Cao really insists on dealing with him, although it will be a little troublesome, in the end
It won't be too difficult.
Liu Bei knew very well the principle of trusting people when employing people. In addition, he knew that Chen Gong was an upright person, so he trusted Chen Gong very much. He would usually adopt Chen Gong's suggestions.
"The best way... is to defile yourself." Chen Gong pondered for a moment and then said, "The Lu Bu family of Cao Cao has not been dealt with since then. My lord can give advice to Cao Cao and ask for Diao Chan's favor."
"What!?" Liu Bei opened his eyes wide, obviously frightened by what Chen Gong just said.
