Time passed by minute by minute, no matter how graceful the singing and dancing in the lobby was, or how soft the waists of the singers were, the charming smiles and frowns could not move everyone in the lobby half-heartedly.
Although these civil servants and generals were silent, they were becoming more and more anxious in their hearts.
Some of them wished they could just leave the governor's house and go home.
Liu Biao's murderous words before he went home made everyone present.
Everyone understands that tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival cocktail party is going to be something big.
Many people who are wise to protect themselves really don't want to be involved in this dangerous whirlpool, but they are already in the lobby.
If they run away at this time, no matter who is the winner tonight, what will they think in their hearts after knowing it?
This kind of thing is actually a huge gambling game before them, and these people have more or less already placed their bets.
And Liu Biao summoned everyone here tonight, in fact, forcing everyone to express their stance at the last moment.
If they don't express their stance, then their position will be shaken.
No matter who takes the stage, they will be the first to deal with it.
It is okay for some people to choose to be alone.
If these people's identity is not important enough, their status is not high enough, and their power is not strong enough, then naturally they don't need to bet on such roles, and they don't need to care about the predators at the top.
As long as these little fishes are smarter and wait quietly aside, and wait until the winner comes to the stage, they will kneel down and cheer honestly.
However, this kind of isolation does not mean that you can choose to sit on the wall and enjoy the scenery and completely stay away from this whirlpool.
This is not acceptable.
To be a small fish and shrimp, you must have the consciousness of a small fish and shrimp, and you must be wise in your advancement and retreat.
Of course, if the whirlpool stirred up by the fight between the predators affects these small fish and shrimps and crushes the innocent ones into pieces, then don’t complain, because you don’t have any strength to fight.
So, this is what happened, knowing that there was no way forward or retreating, but still suffering in pain and anxiety, this is the true psychological portrayal of the civil and military guests present.
They could only wait helplessly for the verdict of fate, and for Liu Biao on the throne to end this upsetting song and dance as soon as possible.
Fortunately, no matter how long the song or dance is, it will eventually come to an end.
At the end of the song, each dancer bowed and left.
Everyone's hearts were stuck in their throats.
They looked up at Liu Biao on the main seat, waiting with anticipation and pain for his words.
"Everyone, tonight's cocktail party, I have said before, is for the successors of Jingzhou."
Liu Biao lived up to expectations, opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and said calmly.
However, at this moment, the etiquette officer outside the door announced loudly: "The King of Han Wei, Cao Cao has arrived" Buzz There was an uproar in the lobby, and the sound of many cups falling to the floor and shattering was heard at the same time, and the bright red wine splashed all over the silk official uniforms.
Even Liu Bei tightened his hand holding the wine glass.
In the end, he relied on his perseverance honed in many years of battlefield to prevent him from crushing the wine glass.
However, his eyes still looked to the right involuntarily.
Zhuge Liang also showed a hint of confusion there, but soon he smiled with relief and made a calm gesture toward Liu Bei.
Liu Bei thought for a moment and then fell silent.
However, when Cao Cao's figure actually appeared at the door, Liu Bei's eyes were still inevitably attracted: Cao Cao was dressed extremely casually today, and he did not have the dignity of the Han Dynasty King Wei at all.
But with every movement of his steps, there seemed to be a special aura that touched the hearts of everyone present.
He still had that signature lonely and friendly smile on his lips, looking around at everyone in the lobby without leaving a trace.
The complacent domineering tempered by the battlefield had completely disappeared, as if a bohemian poet who had seen through the world came to attend a poetry meeting.
When his eyes fell on Liu Bei, Cao Cao paused for a moment, smiled gently, and then said to Liu Biao who was sitting in his seat: "Brother Jingsheng, Cao Cao is honored by your kind invitation to such a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival. " Liu Biao behaved very naturally at this moment.
He smiled genially and replied: "The King of Wei is so respectful today, but Biao is disrespectful.
A big event is going to happen in Xiangyang tonight, and I want to take advantage of King Wei's power to come here to be a witness.
Please take a seat” Cao Cao was no longer polite, and Shi Shiran sat down.
Behind him, two generals, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, stood on the left and right.
The aura of a volcano containing violent magma immediately made the atmosphere in the entire hall feel a bit strange and frightening.
Especially Liu Bei, facing Cao Cao's indifferent expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, suddenly remembered something: Chen Dao has taken over Xiangyang's city defense tonight.
If Cao Cao arrives tonight, he will encounter Chen Dao anyway.
But now he doesn't even get half of the news There can only be one explanation for such a thing, and that is that before Chen Dao took over the city defense, Cao Cao had secretly entered Xiangyang.

Even further, Cao Cao and Liu Biao may have met and reached some kind of agreement.
Everyone thought that after Cao Cao swept Qingzhou and trampled the dignity of the Han Dynasty to the bottom, he would definitely covet Jingzhou.
But Liu Bei knew in his heart that with the checks and balances of the Ma family's clothing and belt edict, Cao Mengde could no longer get involved in the affairs of Jingzhou, otherwise he would make the Ma family furious and would definitely make the clothing and belt edict matters public.
However, Liu Biao did not Know this.
This time, whether Liu Biao took the initiative to contact Cao Cao, or Cao Cao secretly hinted to Liu Biao, the result is that Cao Cao has definitely obtained the benefits he can from Liu Biao, and that is why he made a special appearance today to admit the fact that Jingzhou's successor is valid.
Yes, Liu Biao did not need a court appointment this time, but he specially invited Cao Cao to be a notary public, which showed that he was indeed taking great pains to pave the way for his successors.
At the same time, it also shows that this night, Liu Biao dealt with the matter with the determination of success or failure.
Sure enough, when Liu Bei first thought of this, Cao Cao seemed to have something in his heart.
He stood up and walked towards Liu Bei.
In just a few steps, many civil and military guests from Jingzhou looked at Cao Cao and nodded.
Especially Cai Mao, who had a close friendship with Cao Cao, smiled even more eagerly.
Kuai Yue on the side also nodded slightly.
The friendship between Cai Mao and Cao Cao is well known to the world.
Liu Bei didn't have much idea, but Kuai Yue's subtle reaction made Liu Bei wary: Kuai Yue had a prominent reputation in his early years.
General He Jin heard of his name and once appointed him as Dongcao.
At that time, Cao Cao was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, the captain of the Dian Army.
He liked to make friends with celebrities and had very close contacts with Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue was a man of deep wisdom and twice made great contributions to Liu Biao.
If Cao Cao's entry into the court this time was his idea for Liu Biao, Liu Bei was horrified when he thought of this: No matter Liu Biao gives up the position of Jingzhou to Liu Qi or Liu Cong tonight, he cannot give it to Liu Bei because Liu Biao just said it very well.
It is clear that he invited Cao Cao just to take charge.
And the object of shock was none other than Liu Bei.
The most effective way to establish a person's prestige is naturally to make contributions.
Liu Bei came to Jingzhou to put down the rebellion, and he already had great prestige in Xiangyang.
If Liu Biao had truly given Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he would not have called Cao Cao, a hero whose prestige was ten times greater than that of Liu Bei.
Only if Liu Biao wanted to suppress the hearts of the people of Xiangyang and the nobles of Jingzhou would he borrow the name of King Cao Cao of Wei.
After all, everyone knows that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are life-and-death enemies.
Liu Biao will not make Liu Bei the Lord of Jingzhou tonight.
If anyone objects, he will have a high-sounding reason to tell him: If Liu Bei is made the Lord of Jingzhou, King Cao Cao of Wei will be very angry, and the consequences will be serious.
At this time, Cao Cao had already walked up to Liu Bei and looked at Liu Bei with an almost compassionate look, silent and speechless.
Liu Bei, who was restless, was stared at by Cao Cao, and he immediately felt uncomfortable all over.
Although Cao Cao's eyes were more gentle, without any glare or sharpness, Liu Bei had a sense of being seen through.
With Cao Cao looking at him silently like this, Liu Bei thought about the power of the Central Plains represented behind Cao Cao and the man's treacherous tactics on the battlefield, and he even broke out in cold sweat.
Finally, it seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was only a moment.
Cao Cao pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Liu Bei, and said: "Mr.
I can’t bear to watch it, but once the dragon is released, the world will be in chaos.”
Liu Bei's face immediately became very ugly, and even his reply was a bit reluctant.
But at this moment, a slightly childish voice came from Liu Bei's right, saying: "King Wei, we have to take advantage of the opportunity to hide in the dragon.
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It is inevitable that it will not be the time for the dragon to fly to the sky." " "Well" was cut off by Zhuge Liang's words.
Cao Cao did not show any anger at all, but instead asked with some interest: "What do you mean by this, little friend?"
"Ahem, what he means is," a strange but familiar voice came from outside the door.
A brocade robe was even more glorious in the night, but the owner of the brocade robe touched his nose and smiled: "What he means is, You are not the only king in the Han Dynasty who has a different surname.
You can suppress his power, but I, King Yong, also have power for him to borrow."
"Yong Wang Ma Chao" Cao Cao didn't change his color much.
Liu Biao's face suddenly turned as red as blood: "How did you enter Xiangyang?"

"Oh, it's nothing.
Civil strife has begun in Xiangyang City, so I naturally took advantage of the chaos and walked in
