"Yuzhou Mu, pay your respects to the Prime Minister!"
Liu Bei stood in front of Cao Cao and bowed his hands.
Cao Cao gave Liu Bei a title for the sake of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
It's just like a blank check and not very practical.
Not to mention managing Yuzhou, it was a blessing not to be placed under house arrest by Cao Cao.
"Xuande sits down, I invite you here this time to discuss the plan to deal with Lu Bu!"
Cao Cao was covetous of the two strong men behind Liu Bei, so he prepared seats for Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Liu Bei sat down with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then said: "Prime Minister, you are humble. With the Prime Minister's talent, it is more than enough to deal with Lu Bu, so why bother?"
Liu Bei did not immediately agree to Cao Cao's request. After all, after defeating Lu Bu, he could not return to Xuzhou and lead his own side, so he was not that concerned about defeating Lu Bu.
It was only for the sake of the common people that he was willing to fight against Lu Bu together with Cao Cao.
"Xuande's words are wrong. Lu Bu is the number one in the world, and he is not a person who has wasted his fame."
"My Le Jin, Dian Wei, and Yu Jin all fell into the hands of Lu Bu. It can be said that we suffered heavy losses."
"I'm afraid Xuande and his two sworn brothers are the only ones in the world who can compete with Lu Bu!"
Cao Cao lowered his body and said.
When Guan Yu heard this, he felt that what Cao Cao said was very useful. He stroked his beautiful beard and squinted his eyes.
Zhang Fei also found Cao Cao more pleasing to his eye.
It's just that Liu Bei is still a little hesitant, because it is still a bit risky for the three brothers to face such a powerful Lu Bu.
If that brother fell into the hands of Lu Bu, Liu Bei would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Brother, just a slave with three surnames is nothing to be afraid of!"
Zhang Fei thought Liu Bei was afraid of Lu Bu, so he shouted in a loud voice. The sound was so loud that Cao Cao couldn't help but cover his ears.
The sound is like thunder, and it truly lives up to its reputation.
"Then I wonder how I can help the Prime Minister deal with that Lu Bu?"
Liu Bei didn't want to offend Zhang Fei, and the people of Xuzhou were indeed in dire straits, so he nodded and replied.
"Xuande only needs to stop Lu Bu for a moment on the day of the decisive battle, and leave the rest of the battlefield to the soldiers."
A smile finally appeared on Cao Cao's face. It seemed that Liu Bei really knew the current affairs and was a wise man.
If Liu Bei doesn't agree, then Cao Cao will be really troubled.
"The task of intercepting Lu Bu will be left to me. I would like to congratulate the Prime Minister on your victory!"
Liu Bei and Cao Cao talked for a while and then left with their two brothers.
"It's a pity that this person can't be used by me in the end!"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei's back and sighed.
Liu Bei is indeed a talent. In his early years, he was still selling straw sandals. Now he can become a force that stirs up the world. It is not easy.
As for the identity of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, it actually does not bring much help to Liu Bei. After all, the Han clan is already a bad thing, so who would look down on him just because he is a Han clan clan member?
If Liu Bei can work for him, he will definitely be even more powerful!
"Prime Minister, is it because of his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty?"
Xun You asked.
"Putting aside my identity, I follow the path of king and domination, while Liu Bei believes in the path of benevolence and righteousness. Our ideals are destined to be different."
"Tao is different and we don't work together. No matter how harmonious the relationship is at this time, they will eventually become strangers because of the way of Tao."
As Cao Cao spoke, murderous intent arose in his heart, but now he lacked a reason to kill Liu Bei.
"Then Liu Bei is indeed very popular with the people."
Xun You nodded.
"Let's not talk about Liu Bei, let's deal with Lu Bu first!"
Cao Cao looked at Xiapi City, which was shrouded in green air to protect the city, and said in a deep voice.
"Prime Minister, as long as Lu Bu is destroyed, Liu Bei will be eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Guo Jia said.
"Why?"
Cao Cao did have the intention to kill Liu Bei, but he had not yet made up his mind. He was quite surprised when he heard Guo Jia's words.
"Liu Bei is secretly flirting with His Majesty, and may be planning a huge conspiracy."
Guo Jia dropped a bombshell.
There are spies all over Xuchang, and Liu Bei's every move is monitored. Even if Liu Bei is covering up, it is difficult to escape Cao Jun's spies.
The secret contact between Liu Bei and His Majesty has been recorded.
"Is there anything else going on?"
Cao Cao frowned slightly, feeling that Liu Bei had stepped on his bottom line and jumped repeatedly.
"Absolutely true."
Guo Jia didn't dare to lie. After all, Cao Cao was a suspicious person. If he got false information and doubted himself, he would be shooting himself in the foot!
"The matter of annihilating Liu Bei will be discussed after the master returns to the court."
Cao Cao rubbed his temples, showing his fatigue. He battled wits and courage with Lu Bu one after another, which exhausted Cao Cao's mind.
Now that things like Liu Bei have happened again, I feel really depressed and irritable.
At this time, it is not a good time to discuss how to deal with Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei still needs to stop Lu Bu for him.
At least Liu Bei can't be touched until Lu Bu is dealt with!
…
Lu Bu was still studying the tactics of war and had no idea what was happening in Cao's camp.
After so many days of hard study, Lu Bu's attainments in combat techniques became more and more profound, combined with his previous muscle memory.
Lu Bu can now perform three of the nine-character techniques, namely the wind-character technique, the fire-character technique, and the thunder-character technique!
These three are all offensive formations. For Lu Bu's rough moves, the offensive formation is the most suitable for Lu Bu, and it is also the easiest for Lu Bu to master after reviewing it.
Just when Lu Bu was studying the tactics, Chen Gong came to the door and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I noticed three unusual auras in Cao's camp!"
"oh?"
Lu Bu groaned. While blocking the flood, he vaguely felt three very powerful auras in Cao's camp.
But it was flickering and unpredictable, so Lu Bu didn't take it to heart.
Now that Chen Gong mentioned it again, Lu Bu immediately thought of the three people, those three people under Hulao Pass!
"I wasn't sure at first, but in the past few days, maybe I couldn't suppress the true energy in my body, and the overwhelming momentum spread unconsciously."
"It's easy for me to lock on to the auras of these three people. I'm afraid Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were defeated that day, are now in Cao's camp, planning to deal with the king!"
Chen Gong is also quite familiar with the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who can be regarded as Lu Bu's mortal enemies.
From Hulao Pass, the battle continued to Xuzhou, with a period of peace in between.
However, due to Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's men messing around, sparks continued to fly, and eventually a fierce collision occurred.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were not opponents and fled to Cao Cao's command. Now they join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Lu Bu, which really puts Chen Gong under pressure.
First of all, Lu Bu's extreme force was suppressed by the three brothers. Without Lu Bu, the best general in the world, to lead the army, Chen Gong suddenly felt that the future was worrying for the day of the decisive battle.
"Those three brothers are also invincible Xiaoqiang, but I didn't provoke them, but they provoked me instead. I'm really tired of living."
Lu Bu was domineering and did not take Liu Guanzhang seriously at all. Since Liu Guanzhang was willing to help Cao Cao, then don't worry about his ruthlessness.
"But if you were held back by Liu, Guan, and Zhang that day, and Cao's generals led their troops to attack, who could stop him?"
Chen Gong said worriedly.
