Chapter 064 Cao Cao's Killing Intent, Frightened Liu Bei
The war in Xuzhou was over, and Cao's army was about to return to the court.
On the eve of his departure, Cao Cao summoned his core think tank.
Because there is a problem now, it is on the table again and needs discussion.
That is the question of whether Liu Bei should be killed or stayed.
There were three people in front of Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu.
Xun Yu, who should have been in this situation, was not here because he was left in Xudu to defend the city.
Originally, Cao Cao planned to ask Cao Peng to discuss matters, but he did not find where others were, so he had to give up.
What he didn't know was that Cao Peng deliberately avoided the matter.
Cao Cao sat on his chair and spoke:
"Before going back to Xudu, there is one thing that must be settled, that is Liu Bei."
"I have asked you once before, one of you asked me to use it, one called me to kill it, and the other asked me to use it first and then kill it. Now Xuzhou has already taken my hand. I want to hear your suggestions, how should Liu Bei deal with it?"
Cao Cao said this and glanced at the three of them, looking at Guo Jia, who was wearing a black shirt, and asked, "Fengxiao, let's talk about it first!"
Guo Jia took a step forward and his attitude was straightforward, "Lord, I will still maintain my original opinion. Liu Bei must be killed. This person looks hypocritical, but in fact he has brought the great false appearance to the extreme.
And not only that, the lord should know that this person has great ambitions and will definitely not be able to live under others for a long time. Only by killing him can we eliminate future troubles.”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xun You immediately opposed: "No, Liu Bei has surrendered now. If the lord kills him, then what the world thinks of you is afraid of harming the people's expectations."
Cheng Yu also echoed: "Lord, now Liu Bei's command is apart from his two brothers, and some of the defeated generals. What kind of climate can it be? Since Xuzhou City is under our control, it is no harm to whether Liu Bei will kill or stay. Why not bring him back to Xudu."
The three major strategists now both suggested that he should not kill Cao Cao, and that was the same as his thoughts.
If killing this man is harmless, then he will definitely kill Liu Bei without further ado.
But now, whether it is the people of Xuzhou or Liu Bei’s personal reputation, and now he is relying on himself, if he kills him, his people’s reputation will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
After clarifying all these situations, Cao Cao said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's take him back to Xu Du first and then make a decision."
Even if Guo Jia suggested that Cao Cao kill Liu Bei, since Cao Cao had made up his mind, he would not be able to say anything else.
After all, Cao Cao underestimated Liu Bei, and Guo Jia was the same.
Even though he vaguely thought that Liu Bei was not a person who had been living under the influence for a long time, he could not have imagined that Liu Bei would really become Cao Cao's enemy in the future.
However, he still plans to propose that Cao Cao find an opportunity to kill Liu Bei on the way back to Xudu.
After Cao Cao made up his mind because of this, he felt much more relaxed and went to bed peacefully.
However, Liu Bei, who was ignorant of life and death, was now in his camp, robbing him back and forth, and was frightened and uneasy.
Zhang Fei, who had been drinking with a wine pot, finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? I walked back and forth here for dozens of times, shook my head out of sight."
"Yes, brother, this is not the usual you. I have never seen you so anxious. What happened?" Guan Yu also asked with concern.
Liu Bei sighed and frowned, looking at his two brothers with a sad expression.
"Yun Chang, Yide, brother, I'm sorry for you, we're just afraid that the disaster will come."
"ah?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so scared that they exclaimed in shock.
At this time, Lu Bu was dead and the three brothers were getting revenge. Why did Liu Bei say that the disaster was coming?
"Brother, what does this mean?"
"Yes, brother, please tell me, who is our enemy?"
After hearing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's inquiry, Liu Bei immediately had a few tears in the corner of his eyes, his tone was choked and his voice trembled, "Now Xuzhou has been all gone, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are dead, and my three brothers are worthless in Cao Cao's eyes, I am afraid that he will no longer tolerate us living."
Looking at Liu Bei who was crying, Zhang Fei said furiously: "My brothers sacrificed their lives and conquered Xuzhou for him, and took Lu Bu in a hurry. He didn't want to repay him and wanted to kill our lives. How could this reason be made in the world?"
Guan Yu was also a little disbelief and echoed: "Cao Cao shouldn't have done things so well. Even if we can no longer hold Xuzhou and borrow Xiaopei to station troops, he wouldn't have refused!"
Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly. How could Cao Cao's evil be imagined by his two brothers who are pure in nature.
From the first test of Cao Cao when he attacked Xuzhou, Liu Bei already knew that Cao Cao was full of murderous intentions towards him.
Although this treacherous hero hid this emotion very well, Liu Bei was not an ordinary person. He had already discovered the murderous intent in Cao Cao's eyes when he saw the small details.
Liu Bei said: "Second brother, third brother, Cao Cao is the treacherous hero of the world. He once said that he would rather let the world down than let the world down. This place has never been a place where our brothers can settle down."
"He has never harmed us, probably because he is worried that it will damage his personal reputation, but whenever he has the chance, he is afraid that we will not escape the evil move!"
After listening to Liu Bei's analysis, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu began to believe this statement.
In the chaotic times, no one is a pure little white rabbit. If you want to become a person, morality and other things have long been trampled on your feet.
"It's really too much. This villain Cao Mengde asked me to poke ten thousand transparent holes!" Zhang Fei cursed angrily and stood up immediately, really going out of the camp.
Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei and said in a crying voice: "Yun Chang, Yide, it's all for the big brother who has implicated you..."
However, before he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves had already heard outside the tent.
Liu Bei immediately asked his two brothers not to speak, and he immediately began to manage his expressions.
By the time the gate of the tent was opened, Liu Bei had already changed into it, looking calm.
The visitor was the messenger beside Cao Cao.
The messenger did not see any abnormalities here, but glanced at Liu Bei and others and said directly:
"Cao Gong ordered Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to pack up immediately, so the army set off and returned to Xu Du to meet the emperor!"
After saying that, he left without stopping for a long time.
However, Liu Bei became even more frowning. Sure enough, Cao Cao's fox tail was about to be revealed.
