Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 419 Two Choices
Cao Su was self-evident with the sloppy scholar, and then invited him to his home to keep warm!
The sloppy scholar was not too polite, he played two games of chess with Cao Su and drank some wine!
In the past, I was afraid that I would not leave, but this time I walked surprisingly quickly!
After only playing five sets, he got up and left!
After he left, Cao Su didn't get up for a long time!

When Zhen Mi went up to pack things and clean up, she saw that he was full of thought, sitting cross-legged in deep thought, and immediately asked in puzzlement:

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

"Strange! How strange!"

Cao Su didn't hear her question at this time, but looked at the chessboard, pinched his chin and kept muttering to himself!

"What's so weird?"

Zhen Mi leaned over curiously and wanted to see what happened, but she saw that there were only scattered pawns and a handsome flag on the chessboard, while on Cao Su's side, there were two artillery pieces, a horse and a chariot!
No matter how you look at it, it is a huge advantage!

But Cao Su murmured, "He can obviously surround my general with infantry, but he gave up attacking and turned to defending. What does this mean?"

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "It's not easy, he let you!"

Cao Su was startled suddenly, and stared blankly at Zhen Mi!

The latter was taken aback by his sudden gaze, and timidly said:

"Concubine... Did the concubine say something wrong?"

Cao Su nodded nervously, "That's right! He really let me go! Bystanders are clear, authorities are confused!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Hehe, back then, I had studied chess for five years before I had the chess skills I have now. I didn't expect him to be able to do this in only two years, tsk tsk, Crouching Dragon! It really is extraordinary! The understanding of seeking Tao really breaks through the sky!"

But just after he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly with a shocked expression on his face!
"No! He didn't use it for two years! It only took a few months! A few months ago, his chess skills were not at the same level as mine, but now he can give in to each other!"

Zhen Mi listened to his slightly crazy words, and the doubts on her face deepened, "Husband means that the sloppy scholar's chess skills have improved a lot? Isn't this a good thing? In the future, my husband will not play like that." It's boring, isn't it!"

Hearing this, Cao Su was slightly startled, then returned to his usual demeanor, looked at Zhen Mi and gave a wry smile!
"Xiao Mi, you don't know. What this chess contains is the art of war of Wanxiang Senluo. Every time you play chess, you lead your troops to fight with others. Whether it is formation, strategy, or Taoism, Or astrology, it's all involved!"

Zhen Mi was amazed, "I never imagined that this little chess game can be so profound?"

Cao Su nodded, turned to look out of the window, not only talking to her but also to himself:
"His talent is the scariest person I've met over the years. I'm afraid the next time the two of us play chess, it will be a real tit-for-tat confrontation, and there will be no room for compromise!"

Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, my father once said that it would be a great blessing to find a chess player who is comparable in life!"

Cao Su sighed quietly, nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes! It is enough to have a friend in life!"

However, after saying this, Cao Su was thinking in his heart!

[I'm afraid that chess will not be played on the chessboard in the future!But in...]

[On the battlefield! 】

……

Not long after the sloppy scholar left, Liu Bei came down from the snow mountain!

Seeing his gloomy expression, Cao Su immediately understood, smiled and said:
"Uncle, are you here again?"

When Liu Bei saw the smiling Cao Su in front of the door, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Brother Shuren, this is..."

Cao Su smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "I invite the emperor, the hot wine has been prepared in the house, just go to the cold!"

The three of Liu, Guan, and Zhang looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes!
"Brother Shuren, are you...waiting for us again?"

Cao Su smiled and spread his hands, "Otherwise, who else can I wait for in this deep mountain and old forest?"

Guan Yu asked at this time, "You already knew that we would return without success?"

Cao Su did not explain, but led them into the hut, and continued to treat them kindly!
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Bei couldn't help asking:
"Brother Shuren, why did I wait for these two visits to Zhuge Liang, and you always knew that we would not see him?"

Cao Su smiled, but didn't speak!

[If you can see him, then there is a ghost! 】

【Can you wake up a person pretending to be asleep?Can you find someone who deliberately hides from you? 】

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Bei then said:
"Brother Shuren, I wrote a letter to Cao Cao, telling me where you live!"

Cao Su didn't mean to be angry, but took a sip of wine and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

Liu Bei was taken aback, "Don't you blame Liu?"

Cao Su opened his slightly drunken eyes, "Why are you blaming? Anyway, I have lived here for a while, even if you don't write to my eldest brother, I will leave on my own!"

Liu Bei looked at him with a strange expression in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still said:
"Brother Shuren, why don't you come with me? Cao Cao's ambitions are getting stronger now, and he doesn't care about this already chaotic world. I'm worried that if you continue to live here, something bad will happen to you!"

After Cao Su heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your kindness, but it's not morally right for me to go to you in this capacity, besides, there is someone else who left with you, so why do I need me!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, "What do you think Brother Shuren said? Could it be that Kong Ming has already returned?"

"no!"

Cao Su shook his head, "It's just three things, I hope the emperor will not give up!"

How could Liu Bei not understand what he meant, and he was overjoyed, "Understood! Brother Shuren! I will definitely visit again in the spring of next year!"

Cao Su nodded, and then continued to invite them to drink!
After drinking, Liu Bei and his party planned to leave!

It's just that Cao Su stopped him at this moment and asked a meaningful question!
"Uncle Liu Huang! A man who is devastated and bleeding like a river, or a new country where the people can live and work in peace and contentment. How would you choose?"

Liu Bei stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at Cao Su in amazement, his eyes were filled with a trace of struggle, but he didn't answer for a long time!

Cao Su didn't urge or ask, but smiled and turned back to the cottage!
And Liu Bei also turned around tacitly and left soon!

On the way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were puzzled and asked:

"Brother, what did you mean by tree tree brother just now?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, stopped and turned around to look at Cao Su's thatched hut, and said quietly:

"He's asking me, why are you helping the Han Dynasty?"

"Then do you need to ask? Naturally, it is to suppress traitors and thieves! Kill all those who seek power and usurp the throne!"

Zhang Fei yelled out of course.

Liu Bei shook his head, and murmured to himself:
"What he means is whether we are helping the Han family for the sake of the name of the great man, or for... the common people in the world!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were taken aback, "Is there any difference?"

Liu Bei didn't answer, but laughed at himself, "I didn't expect Cao Shuren to have reached such a state after living in seclusion for two years. This son... really deserves the name of Qilin!"
