Dong Cheng was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked: "King Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
"It's very simple, you do yours, I do mine, I don't need to be entangled with you to do things, we will do our own thing, as for your affairs, I will definitely keep it a secret and will not reveal it to anyone." ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Dong Cheng, who looked surprised: "Uncle Guo, let's talk about it here today, I'm tired." ”After speaking, he ignored Dong Cheng and turned around to leave alone, Dong Cheng had no other way but to get up and leave.A few days later, Cao Cao suddenly sent someone to invite Zhao Yu and Liu Bei to a banquet, when Liu Bei was watering vegetables in the back garden, Xu Chu and Zhang Liao led dozens of people to break into the garden: "The prime minister has a life, please ask Uncle Liu Huang to go." ”Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went hunting in the wild and were not around, Liu Bei did not dare to shirk, so he had to follow the two to the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the contrary, Zhao Yu was better than Liu Bei, and Cao Cao sent more than ten people to drive a carriage to meet them.When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao had already waited for a long time, and personally greeted him in front of the city mansion, and after seeing the two, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the two of them, and walked to the backyard.At this time, Liu Bei was already frightened, and Cao Cao kept talking about other things that didn't matter, so Liu Bei relaxed.The three of them drank too much, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, seeing that the heavy rain was coming, the three of them got up and stood by the guardrail, looking at the sudden change in the sky, Cao Cao asked: "Do you know the changes of the dragon" Zhao Yu and Liu Bei glanced at each other and shook their heads together: "I would like to hear the details of the prime minister." ”"The dragon can be big and small, can rise and hide, the big is the clouds and spit the fog, the small is hidden and hidden, the rise is soaring between the universe, the hidden is lurking in the waves, the party is deep this spring, the dragon changes when the time comes, the Jews have the will and crisscross the four seas, the dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world, Xuande and King Zhao have been in all directions for a long time, and they must know the heroes of the world, please try to refer to it."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the two meaningfully.The two looked at each other again, Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Uncle Liu Huang handed me more seniority, so I won't be ugly in the future, I am willing to listen to Uncle Huang." ”Liu Bei hurried to the shelf, and had to reply: "Huainan Yuan Shubing has enough food and can be a hero." ”Cao Cao smiled: "There are dry bones in the grave, I will capture him sooner or later." ”Liu Bei continued: "The third duke of Yuan Shao IV of Hebei, the old officials of the door, now the tiger is located in the land of Jizhou, and his son is divided into the state and Qingzhou, and there are many capable people under him, who can be heroes. ”This time, without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Zhao Yuqiang said: "Yuan Shao is very timid, scheming and indecisive, does not listen to the words of loyal ministers, and actually listens to the slander of villains, so he does not focus on the overall situation, often values personal interests, does big things and spares his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits, which is not worthy of the word hero." ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, Liu Bei couldn't help but glare at him, but seeing that Cao Cao admired Zhao Yu's gaze very much, he should agree with his words, and then continued: "There is one person, the name is Bajun, the power of Kyushu, Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng can be a hero. ”Cao Cao sneered: "Liu Biao is in name only, and he is definitely not a hero. ”Liu Bei continued to speculate: "There is one person, the blood and qi are strong, the leader of Jiangdong, and Sun Bofu is also a hero. ”Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Sun Ce is only using his father's name, and he is by no means a hero. ”Liu Bei nodded with one hand and hurriedly said: "Yizhou Liu Jiyu can be described as a hero. ”"Although Liu Zhang is a member of the Han family, he is just a dog guarding the household, and he can't be a hero."
Cao Cao said unconcernedly."
Then how can Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, Han Sui and others be called heroes" Liu Bei finished speaking, and his heart was a little cold.Cao Cao laughed after hearing this: "These are all villains, how can they become heroes, it is not enough to worry about them." ”At this moment, Liu Bei vaguely felt some cold sweat on his body, clasped his hands into fists and said: "If that's the case, Xuande really doesn't know." ”Cao Cao responded to the heavens: "The so-called heroes must have great ambitions, have good intentions in their stomachs, have the opportunity to contain the universe, and swallow the ambitions of heaven and earth. ”After Cao Cao finished speaking, he pointed at Liu Bei and Zhao Yu.Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and the chopsticks and spoons in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, unable to answer."
Haha" Just when Liu Bei was at a loss, a hearty laugh sounded on the side, it was Zhao Yu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both looked at each other curiously, not knowing what the other party meant.Cao Cao was unhappy in his heart and said: "What makes King Zhao so happy, it is better to say it and let the two of us share it together." ”"I'm laughing at the Prime Minister."
Zhao Yu said and shook his head and looked at Cao Cao."
Laugh at me" Cao Cao was a little puzzled, and asked even more puzzled: "What is it about Meng De that makes King Zhao laugh so much." ”"I'm really joking at the Prime Minister."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei, who had a sad face, and said with some pity in his heart: "Looking at the fact that the three of you and I are here now, it is really a kind of fate, the two of them have already dedicated their strength to the country in the Yellow Turban Rebellion before me, and it seems that the prime minister of the Ten Standing Servants has also participated." ”After Zhao Yu asked, he looked at Cao Cao and nodded, and then continued: "Afterwards, the hungry wolves Dong Zhuo, Guo Yan, Li Dao, and the fierce tiger Lu Bu, and the anti-thief Yuan Shu appeared one by one, and there was no lack of prime ministers in these battles.Uncle Huang and I have also made a modest contribution with the mentality of serving the country, how can the credit be compared with the prime minister. ”"It's even more ashamed to say it, the reason why Zhao Yu participated in this kind of troubled battle is all due to the prime minister's credit, if it weren't for some of the prime minister's abilities that he can see and invite me to fight together, where would I have this glory to get this credit.It is not true that the prime minister said that the three of us are today's heroes, and the name of the heroes of Uncle Liu and I is all thanks to the promotion and assistance of the prime minister.If there is no prime minister, where is the name of the hero of the two of us, to be honest, the prime minister should be a real hero, and I and the emperor and uncle are just the shadows of the heroes, in vain, hahaha" Zhao Yu's words praised himself and Liu Bei, and touted Cao Cao himself, which means that if you say that the two of us are heroes, then the two of us are, after all, this is what you agree with.If we postpone or explain too much, one of you will look down on us, or you will doubt us, so we will simply accept your hero's name, but don't forget that the reason why we became heroes is all because of your Cao Cao, you are the real hero.At this moment, as soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, a huge thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and when the thunder just passed, Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "You see, even this heaven has admitted what I just said, and the prime minister is the real hero in the world today." ”"Hahaha, King Zhao and Uncle Huang are humble."
Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, and picked up two glasses of wine from the wine table and handed them to the two: "Come, the two of you will drink this cup of wine with me and toast to our Han heroes." ”The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and when the thunderstorm was over, they drank the cup of wine together, and some descendants praised the poem: "Calmly do not force into the tiger's den, and say that the hero is shocked to kill the sky; Skillfully use the angry thunder to shelter and adapt to the real hero. ”The next day, Cao Cao invited the two to drink and enjoy the dance, and suddenly heard that the full pet had stolen Yuan Shao Jizhou to listen to the news that he had returned, Cao Cao hurriedly summoned him to ask, and after the full pet saluted, he said: "Yuan Shao has been recruiting troops and horses recently, and has a large reserve of grain and grass, with bad intentions.His younger brother Yuan Shu, in Huainan arrogant extravagance, did not sympathize with the military and civilians, led to the rebellion of the people, and finally had to make people return to the emperor to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was ready to obtain Yuxi, Yuan Shu promised to send it in person, and now intends to give up Huainan and lead his subordinates to go to Hebei. ”Man Zhong said this, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, if the two of them unite into one army, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and it will be difficult to recover, and I hope that the Prime Minister will make plans as soon as possible." ”After hearing the report of the full favor, Cao Cao, Zhao Yu and Liu Bei all showed a solemn expression, especially Zhao Yu was more worried about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu joining forces, if Yuan Shu really led the remnants of the army to Yuan Shao, the two joined forces to sit in Jizhou, they must be like wolves and tigers, plus Bingzhou and Qingzhou, it can be said that the most powerful heroes in Hebei.If you don't gather all the other princes, you really can't defeat them, and if the two join forces in the first part, they will attack their own Youzhou.Youzhou is its own revolutionary base, once it is attacked by these three states and counties, it will be devastated, even if you have elite soldiers, you can't bear such a situation.Seeing that the two of them were silent, Cao Cao knew that both of them had thoughts in their hearts, so he asked: "The two of them also heard, now that the battle situation is tense, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu join forces, the result will definitely not dare to think about it, I don't know what the two of them think." ”"Prime Minister, in my opinion, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu join forces, it must be a big trouble, and we must be careful to prevent it."
Liu Bei said hastily, not daring to say more, while Cao Cao turned his gaze to Zhao Yu on the left and asked."
What Uncle Huang said is extremely true, although Yuan Shu has lost in Huainan like a wild wolf with sharp teeth removed, but that Yuan Shu tiger is a fierce tiger in the three counties of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou.In addition, Yuan Shu, a wild wolf, is ready to take refuge in it, and now he has been recruiting troops and horses to expand the harvest of grain and grass, his ambition can be seen, even if Yuan Shu, a wild wolf, has no sharp teeth, but there are still sharp claws, if the two are united, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings, plus most of his subordinates are capable, and Dong Zhuo, the anti-thief before the real friendship, is even more powerful. ”After analyzing this powerful relationship, Zhao Yu continued: "For the sake of today, it is necessary to prevent the two from joining forces, and when necessary, plant some forces around them, curb their development and wait for changes. ”"Oh" After listening to Zhao Yu's words, Cao Cao was greatly appreciative and hurriedly continued to ask: "King Zhao, what is his plan, tell me quickly." ”"Yuan Shu took the jade seal and wanted to lead troops to Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao actually agreed, his ambition was already obvious, that Yuan Shu was already a blatant thief, and the jade seal has always been the emperor's thing, but Yuan Shao was willing to accept it, saying that it was not good, Emperor Han Xian was a real emperor, but the jade seal was a virtual shadow of the emperor.""
Although he does not have the actual position of the emperor, he has the right of imperial authority, and if Yuan Shu wants to take refuge in Yuan Shao, he must pass through Xuzhou, and he can ask Uncle Liu to lead an army to intercept halfway.If Yuan Shao learned that Yuan Shu was ambushed halfway, there would definitely be more movements, and more of a spearhead would be pointed at the prime minister, and I would snipe Yuan Shu with the imperial uncle first, so as not to divide his troops and flee.After eliminating Yuan, I quickly rushed back to Youzhou, sat in Youzhou and watched in its rear, once Yuan Shao made a move, the prime minister must go out and attack with me, so that Yuan Shao could not be united, and then the prime minister could pull out the tiger teeth with me, and cut the tiger claws. ”:
