Chapter 160

When he was full of his wings, he would come out and accuse Cao Cao of his evil intentions. No one in the world would gossip about him. He could only say that he was not afraid of the emperor and was unparalleled in loyalty. Liu Bei had this idea and plundered most of the gold, silver, treasures, food and grass under his rule. He also scattered the remaining part to the people in his territory. He said that he was celebrating the safe ascension of the emperor and specially distributed the surplus of the treasury to the people to show the priest's kindness. The people did not know the truth and they all remembered Liu Bei's goodness. Liu Bei left a letter to the governor of Qingzhou, saying that he had gone to the pilgrimage by the order. He threw the mess to the governor of Qingzhou. He brought his men and horses to come.

As soon as Cao Cao saw Liu Bei, he shouted far away: "Brother Xuande, don't be fine. I want to ruin you." Cao Cao's voice was so full of emotion, and his tone was so sincere. But Liu Bei was not weak. Liu Bei was insulted and blurted out: "Ming Gong, Bei miss you too." After that, Liu Bei's tears came down. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were a matchmaker this time. The two of them politely walked into the hall together.

As soon as he entered the hall, before Cao Cao could use other methods, Liu Bei mysteriously said to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong, I haven't seen you for many days. You are now an important minister of the court. For the joy of the promotion of Ming Gong, you will bring something to Ming Gong to help Ming Gong add wings." As he said that, Liu Bei took out something and presented it to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw it, he was overjoyed. The gift that Liu Bei prepared for Cao Cao was extraordinary and was definitely carefully selected. Although it may not be considered a big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, it is even worthless in Liu Bin's subordinates. But in Cao Cao's eyes, it is definitely a rare treasure worth a thousand gold and a rare treasure.

This object is rectangular, only one foot long, only eight minutes wide, and the weight is only half a pound. But at this time, holding it in Cao Cao's hand made Cao Cao's hand tremble with an undetectable trembling. Cao Cao, who had never been happy or angry, also showed an excited feeling at this time. The reason is that four big characters were written upright on this object - "Introduction to Youzhou". Yes, this object is a book, a note written by Liu Bei himself. One records Liu Bei's observations through his own observations, as well as all the important news records, such as politics, economy, military, etc. in Youzhou that he had learned from Gongsun Zan before, as well as his experiences.

Cao Cao browsed a little and knew the value of this note. It was much more valuable than the information his spies could reach. At this time, Cao Cao wanted to gather his civil and military officials immediately, study the notes carefully, analyze the overall strength of Youzhou, learn from the inside story of Youzhou's military situation in detail, and then learn from his strengths and weaknesses, and make up for his shortcomings. However, Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero. Missing the excitement at the beginning, Cao Cao quickly suppressed his own **. You can't let Liu Bei underestimate him. Anyway, the things are already in his hands. There is time in the future. Don't rush for a moment. Let's take a look at what Liu Bei is planning to play. See if he really wants to vote for him.

At this time, Cao Cao had returned to normal. He put the book "Introduction to Youzhou" aside. He said to Liu Bei with a smile: "Brother Xuande, a good gift. This thing is exactly what I need. I will accept it without hesitation. However, although this thing is valuable, it is far less than that of Brother Xuande's personal visit. Brother Xuande has this thing in his hand, of course he is familiar with it. With Brother Xuande's talent in the world, if Brother Xuande helps me, why should I worry that the Han Dynasty will not be able to rise to peace in all the world and unify the world."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he had a momentum. Cao Cao's eyes also looked at Liu Bei very sincerely. However, Cao Cao's real idea was to carefully observe Liu Bei's every move and Liu Bei's response to his own attitude. See what kind of person Liu Bei was.

Cao Cao's statement is exactly what Liu Bei fears the most and is the most difficult. If he performs well and performs outstandingly, he will inevitably attract the attention and attention of Cao Cao. In the future, Liu Bei wants to develop alone, it will be as difficult as he ascends to the sky. However, he must perform poorly and be mediocre. He is regarded as an unnecessary and irrelevant person by Cao Cao, and he will destroy or abandon him. Then Liu Bei will have no chance of development. Faced with such a difficult problem, the key is to grasp a degree. But although this is what Liu Bei fears the most, it is also the problem that Liu Bei thought the most before coming.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Bei was able to say calmly: "Ming Gong is too famous. Bei can't be considered a talent for heaven and earth. Bei just observed and learned from his former friends. When Dong Zhuo planned to rebel, the heroes fought together. Although Bei was not talented, he could be added to a member of the Han clan, but he had to do his best for the court even though he died. However, it caused the misunderstanding of His Highness King Jin, so Bei had to leave. Later, Dong thief escaped and took the sage hostage and left. Bei was worried and distressed. Bei Ben wanted to assist Yuan Benchu ​​in training troops to fight the sect and welcome the sect back, but Yuan Benchu ​​had his own thoughts and intended to seize Beihai and Qingzhou. The way was different, so he did not plan for each other. Bei had to abandon him on the ground.

I wanted to help Kong Beihai retreat the thief to train troops in order to fight Dong again, and to welcome the throne to the throne, and to gather strength to welcome the throne. But I didn't expect to be one step late. Beihai was captured by the thief. Bei was not an enemy. He could only avoid the edge and train troops in Qingzhou to destroy the thief. Now, although Bei trained 70,000 or 80,000 troops, it was just to be able to fight Dong again in the future. When we welcome the thief, the emperor returned safely, received the imperial edict and returned to the court. Bei's troops and horses, as well as local people, should be returned to the court, and he obeyed the arrangements of the court, and was willing to assist all ministers and Ming Duke in handling the government affairs. Bei had nothing to do, but I just hope that Ming Duke could make a few good words before Bei on the thief. He could do more for the court and live up to the advice of his father."

Liu Bei said so naturally, almost every sentence is sincere and sincere. If Liu Bei heard this, if Liu Bin heard it, he would definitely think that this was a good personal resume. He would definitely arrange a good working environment for Liu Bei to develop well. However, Cao Cao could not understand and see through it. Cao Cao always looked at the essence through the surface, like Liu Bei, who had followed and why he left. Cao Cao didn't care at all. Who knew whether you said it was true or false. And what did these have to do with me?

What Cao Cao valued was that Liu Bei had not done well anywhere, and he should not be an outstanding person. However, after repeated setbacks, Liu Bei could still develop a considerable strength and possessed 70,000 or 80,000 troops. That was definitely not a mediocre talent. At least Liu Bei's perseverance was incomparable to ordinary people. Moreover, Liu Bei was obviously from a declining royal family, and starting from scratch, which was even more valuable. Although Liu Bei was not as good as Liu Bin's development, it can only be said that Liu Bei's opportunities and skills were only worse than Liu Bin, but Liu Bei was far stronger than the princes of some aristocratic families.

What Cao Cao couldn't understand was that Liu Bei now has 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers. He really had no other ideas? He really wanted to serve the court? Is this possible? Isn't this a saint? Cao Cao had to further tempt: "Brother Xuande wants to do his best for the court and help me. I should speak well to the saint for Brother Xuande. But in the future, Brother Xuande will be an official in the court and make great achievements. How can you place your 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers?"

Liu Bei's words just now have been much successful. Liu Bei proved to Cao Cao with his personal experience that he was not an outstanding figure and could not be a rival to people like Liu Bin and Cao Cao, but he was better than ordinary people. From this irrefutable fact, Liu Bei did gain a certain amount of trust and confidence from Cao Cao. But Liu Bei had little dealings with Cao Cao after all. He had not been able to fully grasp Cao Cao's mentality, especially Cao Cao was also a peerless hero, and his mind and talent were definitely not worse than Liu Bei, and he was even far above Liu Bei. Therefore, it was normal for Cao Cao to be guarded against Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had different backgrounds and experiences. The fate was different. Cao Cao was born in a wealthy family and had a lot of knowledge since childhood. The heroes he made were surrounded by Cao Cao, mainly Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao's military, political, economic, and leadership skills are definitely superior and outstanding.

But Liu Bei was born in a declining royal family. Although he had a good reputation, he was just a miserable family in this world where the royal family was everywhere. In order to survive, Liu Bei weaved mats and sold shoes. He could smile and use a pair of straw sandals worth a penny to match what kind of shoes. Only high-priced shoes can reflect the dignity of a different person as a reason, and sell them to those rich and vanity big heads at the price of their usual money. Later, Liu

After having some money, when I was studying at Lu Zhi, my classmates were all of them with outstanding personal experiences, so it was impossible to focus on Liu Bei. I could only make friends with them in a sweet manner and gain some benefits. After Liu Bei's ups and downs, he experienced all kinds of life. Therefore, Liu Bei's smooth handling of things, careful layout, and mature performances were far above Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's question was already under the preparations that Liu Bei had obtained. After all, no one could ignore the 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers. At this moment, Liu Bei replied without hesitation: "The army of the court is the army of the court. Ming Gong is the general of the left army. Now all the soldiers of the court are dispatched by Ming Gong. The army of the preparatory ones should also be set up by Ming Gong."
