Chapter 60 Heroes of Plum Brewing Theory, Liu Bei was terrified!!

In the study room of the Cao Mansion, Cao Cao and Cao Tan sat opposite each other, listening to a report by a brocade guard.

“Lord Qiqi, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang with their cronies have arrived in Xudu City, and they have rested in the inn after wandering in the city for half a moment!”

Cao Cao first waved his hand to let this brocade guard go down, and then said in a solemn face and said in a deep voice.

“Zi Zhan, it seems that the princes of this world should not send people here, and the current Han family is still ~ too weak!”

“Lord Qiyu, isn’t this exactly what I expected, it is normal for the princes of the world to have different minds.”

“But just like Yuan Benchu, the dispatch of several envoys should be for the exchange of benefits!”

“On the surface, they obey the Han family and give me face, and then ask for an official position, so as to occupy the territory justifiably.”

Cao Tan looked relaxed and said unhurriedly, Cao Cao’s face was a little soothing, and his heart had calmed down.

“Zi Zhan, what is this Liu Xuande doing with his two righteous brothers, is it to ask for a reward?”

Cao Cao mentioned Jinyiwei’s report just now, and Cao Tan groaned slightly, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and said aloud.

“Lord Qixi, this Liu Xuande is not simple, although when he was in the tiger prison to ask Dong, he and his two righteous brothers did not make merits.”

“But after leaving the tiger prison, he directly bid farewell to Gongsun Zhan, and did not choose to depend, Liu Xuande has a tiger in his heart!”

“Then I met a famous strategist Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, and directly pointed out that he should go to Xuzhou for development, and finally received the attention of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian.”

“Jinyiwei also found out that Tao Qian is the third let Xuzhou, Liu Xuande is the lord of the resignation should be able to guess the reason!”

Cao Shen paused at this time when he said this, and looked at Cao Cao with burning eyes, hoping that Cao Cao could pay attention to Liu Bei and not give him a chance.

After all, Liu Bei still has some means, but when the wind becomes a dragon, Cao Cao heard the implication of Cao Zhu’s words, and said after a little groan.

“Zi Zhan, in the face of the three let Xuzhou not answer, Liu Xuande came to Xudu to meet at this time, it is to seek fame!”

“After all, with his current prestige, even if he takes over Xuzhou, I am afraid that he will not convince those families.”

“If there is no accident who ran over to recognize the clan relatives, Liu Xuande seems to be after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan.”

Cao Cao had already told his guess, but Cao Tan’s face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

“Lord Qiyu, this matter is not so simple, if Xu Shu is planning behind, he will think of more.”

“Your Majesty shouldn’t be very calm recently, there are frequent small movements, although it doesn’t matter, Xu Shu’s plan should be here.”

“I’ll take this opportunity to see what His Majesty and Liu Xuande will think and have the opportunity to test it himself.”

Listening to Cao Tan’s analysis, Cao Cao nodded with deep understanding, and at this time, there were guards outside to report.

“Lord Qiqi, there are two literati who ask for a meeting, saying that it is surnamed Gou!”

“Invite people to the living room and bring tea!”

A brilliant light flashed in Cao Cao’s eyes, and he hurriedly ordered, just as Cao Huan had already negotiated, the two went over together.

Coming to the living room, Cao Cao saw Gou or Gou You in the room at a glance, and laughed loudly.

“Wen Ruo and Gonghe haven’t seen each other for a long time, how are they doing recently?”

“Brother Meng De’s demeanor is still the same, I heard that Xudu built a city, I will come over later!”

Gou You and Gou You replied with a smile that they had known Cao Cao before, and this time it was from Jizhou that they refused Yuan Shao’s offer.

Although Gou You’s brother Gou Kan was loyal to Yuan Shao, the same county Xin Ping and Guo Tu also directly treated Gou You as a guest in Yuan Shao.

However, in the process of courting Dong, Yuan Shao was only to raise his name, unlike Cao Cao who sincerely begged Dong Xin to go to the Han family or naturally came to Xu Du to surrender.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they sat down, and Gou You looked at Cao Huan beside Cao Cao, and Gou You said with a smile.

“This is Cao Detective Cao Zizhan, who designed to destroy Dong thief, he is indeed a talent.”

Gou or Gou You’s plans for Cao Tan in Chang’an have almost been restored, and now they are welcoming the Son of Heaven and moving to Xudu.

These should be Cao Tan’s plans, and the two couldn’t help but admire them for three points Cao Tan waved his hand and replied.

“It’s just a small scheme, if Wen Ruo and Gongda come to plan, it will definitely be more thorough!”

I still admire Gou You, who is known as Wang Zuo’s talent, and Gou Youcao, who has a deep strategy.

In history, these two people have made great contributions to what Cao Cao can achieve in the future, Cao Cao said after looking at several people who knew each other.

“Wen Ruo and Gongda are loyal to the Han family, and I will recommend the two to Your Majesty in the coming day!”

The implication of Cao Cao’s words, both Gou or Gou You understood, did not debunk but thanked them, and began to talk again.

From the general trend of the world to the princes of various places, from the civil and military officials to the common people, the four of them talked happily and were very interested.

When it comes to the last moment, Gou or Gou You worships the Lord Cao Cao on the spot, which makes Cao Cao very happy, and a feast is held in the evening to wait for Gou or his uncle and nephew.

Gou or the two did not prevaricate after thanking him, and immediately responded, and continued to talk to Cao Tan is a conscious communication system.

“System, view Gouor, Gou You’s properties”

“Adviser: Gou or (Character Ruo)”

“Loyalty: 72”

“Favorability: 70”

“Force: 38, Commander-in-Chief: 69, Resourcefulness: 97, Politics: 102”

“Strategist: Gou You (Zi Gongda)”

“Loyalty: 70”

“Favorability: 75”

“Force: 49, Command: 85, Resourcefulness: 99, Politics: 93”

After reading the attributes of Gou or Gou You, Cao Tan couldn’t help but sigh, worthy of Wang Zuo’s talent and intrigue!

It was getting late, several people came to the banquet hall, and there were already many delicious dishes brought up, and Cao Tan said with a smile.

“Lord Qixi, I have invited the three Liu Xuande brothers to come, and they will be here in a few moments”

Cao Cao thought of what Cao Huan said, and it was inevitable to test Liu Bei’s ambitions, and he could just talk to Liu Bei alone.

As for Liu Guanzhang and the three, who were invited from the inn, they were a little puzzled in their hearts, why did Cao Cao invite them to dinner.

Before he could figure it out, he had been taken to the banquet hall in the Cao Mansion by the guards, and Liu Bei said after bowing his hands.

“I’ll wait to see Lord Sikong!”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also saluted, after all, it was Cao Cao who invited them, and the number of courtesies still had to be fulfilled, Cao Cao said with a smile.

“Xuande and the two generals and take a seat!”

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Fei stared at Gou You on the opposite side for a long time, and asked with some hesitation.

“The literati you preached today turned out to be a subordinate of Lord Sikong!”

Gou You smiled and nodded, seeing that everyone handed their eyes to him, Gou You said the matter of the day, Cao Cao added.

“These are all controlled by Zi Zhan, and even this refined salt is refined by Zi Zhan!”

When Cao Cao introduced Cao Zhu, his face was always filled with pride and satisfaction, and everyone was surprised that Cao Tan could refine refined salt.

Seeing the surprise on everyone’s faces, the smile in Cao Cao’s eyes added three points, so he proposed to drink together, and everyone talked happily.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Fei walked to Cao Tan with the drink and said loudly

“Zi Zhan, I will be able to fight with my second brother in the tiger prison pass, thank you, I finally have the opportunity to toast you today!”

Although Guan Yu did not come over, he raised his wine glass and looked at Cao Tan, and drank it with Zhang Fei, and Cao Tan’s wine was accompanied by Cao Tan, and said with a smile.

“Yide and Yun Changyongwu, they will definitely become famous in the future, and they will be made marquis!”

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this, while Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei who went to toast, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes, but he heard Cao Cao say.

“Xuande, let me talk, Chang’an has not been seen for a long time!”

Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to the courtyard, and on top of a plan, placed this plate of green plums and a bottle of boiled wine.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei drank a few cups first, and when a lot of drinking at the previous banquet was a small reward, Cao Cao spoke.

“Xuande, you see that there are many princes in this world, who can be called a hero?”

When Liu Bei heard this, his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and he already understood that Cao Cao was testing himself, and pretended to be half drunk and said.

“Huainan Yuan Shu Yuan Dao, is the eldest son of the third duke of the fourth Yuan clan, and the soldiers are well prepared and can be heroes?”

“It’s just a dry bone in the tomb, I can easily capture it!”

Cao Cao said nonchalantly, Liu Bei was a little frightened, the current Cao Cao is only a few counties, Liu Bei continued to ask.

“Hebei Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, after the fourth and third duke of the Yuan clan, and the reputation is good, there are many family members and doormen who have defected to him.”

“Now it is the land of the tiger in Jizhou, there are many capable subordinates, and Qingzhou is also in his plan, can it be a hero?”

“Yuan Shaose is fierce and timid, and he is indecisive; Do big things and spare your life, see small profits and forget your life: non-heroes also. ”

Cao Cao said slowly after drinking another glass of wine, his expression was a little relaxed, and he did not put this Yuan brother in his eyes.

Liu Bei couldn’t help but secretly sigh at Cao Cao’s ambitions, but he could only hide it now, and Liu Bei successively said several more vassals, all of which were refuted by Cao Cao.

“Those who can be called heroes must have great ambitions, have good plans, have the opportunity to encompass the universe, and have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth.”

“And in line with this, there are only two people in the world, that is, me and Xuande!”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, his eyes looked at Liu Bei with outstanding eyes, Liu Bei’s back suddenly broke out in cold sweat, the wine glass in his hand slipped to the ground, and Liu Bei said with a bitter smile.

“Lord Sikong is heroic and extraordinary, and he is a little ashamed of himself, he can’t even hold the wine glass, how can I be called a hero!”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he directly asked Cao Cao to say goodbye, Cao Cao did not postpone and let the three leave, while Cao Tan walked out of the banquet hall.

“This Liu Xuande is really cautious, run away first if you don’t decide!”

As soon as Cao Huan’s words fell, Gou or He You came to Cao Tan and sighed.

“Being able to endure and don’t care about face, this Liu Xuande is not simple!”
