It has been some time since Lu Bu's family was brought to Xuchang. During this period, Cao Cao thought about Diao Chan day and night.
Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others must have returned to their hearts. A few days ago, when they were in Xu Tian, they did not show any displeasure when they were so shameless in front of the emperor. On the contrary, they did not show any displeasure towards those so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who glared at them.
, and they stared back very dutifully.
In this case, if you take Diao Chan in, you won't encounter much opposition. After all, Diao Chan is only Lu Bu's concubine, not his official wife, and she also served Dong Zhuo before serving Lu Bu. Therefore, no matter how much Lu Bu prefers her,
Her status in Marquis Wen's Mansion was destined to be low. Although Zhang Liao and others had called her their wife before, they certainly would not have respected her as much as they did to Lu Bu's wife, Yan.
Cao Cao decided to hold a banquet tomorrow night to entertain many civil and military officials, and at the end of the banquet he announced his intention to take Diao Chan as his concubine.
Hearing from others that Cao Cao would host a banquet tomorrow night, Chen Gong found a time to meet with Cao Cao and expressed his hope that Liu Bei could attend the banquet.
This is a banquet for him to entertain his civil servants. What does Liu Bei want to do by joining in the fun for no reason? Ever since Guan Yu and Zhang Fei expressed their ill intentions towards him on Xu Tian's day, Cao Cao's perception of Liu Bei has become much worse. Sooner or later, he will keep this guy.
It's a serious problem.
But doubts remain doubts, and Cao Cao had no reason to refuse Chen Gong's request. When the generals gathered together, was he still afraid that Liu Bei would dare to plot evil? In that case, it would be just what he wanted, and it would directly give him a reason to kill him.
"Tomorrow at the banquet, when everyone is drunk, the lord can ask Cao Cao for Diao Chan in public." Returning to General Zuo's mansion, Chen Gong spoke to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was a little embarrassed. He was already embarrassed to ask Cao Cao for Diao Chan, but now Chen Gong asked him to mention it in front of everyone at the banquet, which made him feel even more embarrassed. You know, Liu Bei
Originally, he planned to find a time to see Cao Cao and secretly tell him his intention to accept Diao Chan.
Looking at Liu Bei's embarrassed face, Chen Gong knew that he couldn't let go of his own face, so he coughed dryly and continued: "Even if my lord mentions it to Cao Cao alone, the matter will still be spread throughout the world. At that time, my lord's request to see Cao Cao will be visible to others."
If you do it, you will look sneaky, which is not beautiful. And if you ask the thief Cao in public, although you may feel a little embarrassed, as long as you let it go, it will still give people a generous and magnanimous image. In this way, the lord can alleviate the thief Cao.
Concerns about you can also minimize the degree of damage to your reputation."
"In that case, I will do what Gongtai said." Liu Bei's greatest advantage is that he can listen to other people's suggestions. When he heard what Chen Gong said was reasonable, although he still felt some instinctive rejection in his heart, he still agreed.
————————————————————————————————The banquet was very large, and dozens of advisers and generals were invited to the banquet.
Almost all the important people in Cao Cao's tent were here. Dozens of desks and desks were arranged one after another, and the scene was very grand.
"Why is that big-eared thief here?" Xiahou Dun and Gao Shun were sitting next to each other. When he looked around, he suddenly saw Liu Bei's figure. He suddenly felt a little unhappy and complained to Gao Shun.
"Huh? Liu Bei is here too?" Gao Shun was also a little surprised by Liu Bei's appearance. This banquet was hosted by Cao Cao for his men. No matter from which point of view, it was not an occasion where Liu Bei should appear.
But don't think too much about things you can't figure out. This is Gao Shun's consistent principle. Whether Liu Bei comes or doesn't come, it's none of his business. He only needs to be responsible for eating and drinking at the banquet.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Chen Gong appeared at the banquet, which really surprised many people, especially the appearance of Chen Gong, which surprised everyone. The relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao is not a secret, and Cao Cao
He only wanted to get Chen Gong, but Chen Gong hated Cao Cao to the core. Many people in Cao Cao's camp had heard about it. Now that even Chen Gong appeared in today's banquet, could it be said that there is something else going on in this banquet?
Doesn’t that mean something?
Guo Jia squinted his eyes. It was obvious that the appearance of Liu Bei, Chen Gong and others was something he had never expected. He thought about it in his mind, considering the reason why they appeared here.
Uh, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still don’t have a clue...
Forget it, let’s not think about it, as long as we have a drink later. To some extent, Guo Jia and Gao Shun might really be the same species...
Some people in the field made no secret of their hostility towards Liu Bei, such as Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, etc.
Liu Bei, however, seemed unaware of these hostile looks. He calmly found three consecutive empty seats and sat down with Guan Yu and Chen Gong.
Zhang Fei was not brought along by Liu Bei. Before coming to the banquet, Chen Gong had expected that Liu Bei would be hostile to Cao Ying's generals during his trip. If Zhang Fei had been present, he would have gone crazy.
"Liu Bei, if Er'an dares to come here, haven't you heard of the Hongmen Banquet?" Xiahou Dun finally couldn't bear it anymore and sarcastically said to Liu Bei.
"General Xiahou, my lord is the uncle of the current Holy Emperor. I worship General Zuo as the Marquis of Yicheng. His status is far more noble than yours. How can you ignore his superiority and call him by his first name!" Before Liu Bei could say anything, Chen Gong
But he spoke first and reprimanded.
Xiahou Dun was so angry that his face turned green and white, but he was blocked by Chen Gong and couldn't say anything else.
"Who am I asking? Isn't this an old friend of the two of us, Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai!" Just when Xiahou Dun was feeling ashamed and angry, a slightly joking voice sounded.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Gao Shun who spoke.
Gao Shun and Xiahou Dun once guarded Dongjun together, and Chen Gong was Lu Bu's schemer at that time, so Gao Shun jokingly called each other old friends, which was quite interesting.
"In the past, under the city of Dongjun, Gongtai made suggestions for Lu Bu and worked hard. Unexpectedly, after so many years apart, Gongtai was now serving under Uncle Liu Huang. It is really a trick of the world!" When Gao Shun spoke, he looked like he was talking to the old man.
Friend's nagging tone.
"Lü Bu is my old master, and he was killed by Cao Cao! I will join Uncle Liu Huang, and I will be much better than those ungrateful people!" Chen Gong couldn't hear the ridicule in Gao Shun's words, so he immediately made a decision.
Counterattack, after saying that, he glared fiercely in the direction of Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others.
"Mr. Gongtai, I originally thought you were a reasonable person. How could you confuse right and wrong like this today? Isn't it the uncle Liu Huang who wants to kill Lu Bu?" Gao Shun said with a heartbroken look, "What do you think?
Ah, why didn't Liu Xuande surrender sooner or later, but why did he surrender not long after Lu Bu's death? Surrender earlier, and the lives of thousands of soldiers could have been saved; surrender later, there were still more than ten thousand defenders in Xiapi City, and the city
Gao Chishen may have the strength to fight. Doesn't this mean that he has already made plans to use the power of our army to kill Lu Bu! Moreover, the night Lu Bu died in battle, he brought a
Thousands of people came to rob a camp of 50,000 people, and Lu Bu's brain was not burned out, so how could he do such an idiotic act? He must have been deceived, and he was asked to come here to die on purpose! Ah, he was asked to die with a plan.
Isn’t that just you? No wonder you got mixed up with Liu Bei as soon as Lu Bu died. Tsk tsk, it’s really hard to paint a tiger’s skin but not its bones. You know the person but don’t know the heart!”
At the end, Gao Shun even pretended to squeeze out two tears. This not only made him secretly sigh, can his acting skills catch up with Liu Bei?
"It's hard to paint the skin of a tiger but its bones. You know people and faces but don't know the heart... That's so right! What a wonderful sentence, what a wonderful sentence." Xiahou Dun was extremely happy that Gao Shun vented his anger for him.
"By the way, what was Lu Bu shouting when he died?" Gao Shun wiped his tears and asked Xiahou Dun, while winking at him.
"Liu Bei harmed me! Liu Bei harmed me!" Xiahou Dun understood this and immediately pretended to be sad and angry, shouting loudly.
It's a good thing that they guarded the city together, they have a good understanding of each other! Gao Shun praised in his heart.
"You, you guys!" Now it was Chen Gong who was very angry. Even though he was very resourceful, he would never have imagined that someone would be so shameless as to say that black people are white.
