"Who is this?"
"This man's surname is Lu Fei, and he is one of the best masters in the Taihang Mountains. Among the crowd, Cao Cao looked at Lu Fei who had cut off a finger with great interest. The deputy next to him cupped his hands and answered. Cao Cao nodded slightly and ordered:
"Let's get in touch with him. He may be of great use." Liu Bei, who was standing aside, looked tense and said with a frown:
"Brother Meng De, this guy is a bandit and he definitely refuses to obey discipline. Why should Cao Cao hear this? He stretched out his hand to interrupt him and twisted his beard and said:
"No one is perfect, and no one is barefoot. Not everyone is as strict with self-discipline as Liu Xuande. To be a commander or a general, you need to know how to use people well. Bandits (Fei) have banditry, and evil has evil deeds. Use them well." , he is a good soldier." After saying that, he gestured to his deputy, who glanced at Liu Bei, sneered, walked through the crowd towards Lu Fei and his party, Cao Cao saw Liu Bei was speechless, and wanted to explain something. After all, in his opinion, Liu Bei was also a 'useful' person.
At this time, two city guards came over.
"General Cao, my young master is here to invite you." The leader was wearing a stab-proof suit with a tiger head. This little guy naturally recognized Liu Bei, but he ignored Liu Bei. Apparently he also knew about Liu Bei's behavior and was quite dissatisfied with him, which he showed directly.
Liu Bei was very embarrassed at this time and looked around guiltily, wanting to see where Wei Cheng was. Cao Cao, on the other hand, seemed to feel something, and raised his head to look up at the city gate.
The warm sun is in the sky, today is a rare good weather. The strong light of the rising sun came directly, and Cao Cao vaguely saw a handsome young man on the city gate tower, looking at him with a smile.
"Wei Zhongdao!"
"Cao Amo. Wei Cheng looked at Cao Cao, who was not very prominent in the crowd. He didn't expect that the real Cao Cao looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, less conspicuous than Liu Bei next to him... But that's it. A man who established the powerful Wei regime.
"General, please!" Hu Tou looked back and bowed. Cao Cao nodded slightly, bowed his hands to Wei Cheng from afar, and then, with Hu Tou clearing the way, Shi Shiran walked towards the city gate.
Liu Bei also discovered Wei Cheng, but when he looked up, Wei Cheng had already turned back to talk to Xu Huang. The two turned away, completely ignoring him.
Liu Bei felt bitter in his heart. Yes, it's me. If you tell your subordinates to do something, but when their subordinates come back and skip you directly, and find another leader to report their work, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.
It must be said that Liu Bei was good at saving others by himself. For a moment, he felt guilty and frightened, and instead became worried about gains and losses.
at the same time. Xu Ding also bowed his hands to Xie Jin and said politely:
"Your Majesty, please come here. My young master has ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and I sincerely invite you to speak." Xie Jin already knew Xu Ding's identity through the introduction of his niece Xie Yu. Wei Cheng's appointment titles for his subordinates were different from those of the imperial court, such as Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others were the commanders who each led a thousand troops, and Xu Ding was a man with both civil and military skills. He was appointed by Wei Cheng as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and he had the ability to mobilize troops and punish generals. Xu Ding also had another person. His younger brother's name is Xu Chu, and he is Wei Cheng's most trusted personal bodyguard. Xie Jin bowed his hands and said with a smile:
"Second Young Master invites me. If I dare not obey my order, I also ask Brother Boyan to lead the way for me. Xu Ding chuckled, and eight city guards behind him cleared the way for them. They are also inviting people, but Cao Cao's treatment is completely incomparable to Xie Jin's. Wei's Mansion . Wei Teng ordered Aunt Niu to prepare many delicacies, which were not available in this era. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, meals were still divided into tables. In the living room, the three tables were filled with all kinds of food and wine, and several young maids with outstanding looks stood there. Wei Cheng waited carefully on the side. Wei Cheng sat upright. Because he was not used to kneeling, he specially asked Cheng Tou to make a low stool to facilitate him to sit cross-legged. When Xie Jin came in, he happened to be in front of Cao Cao. . The two people obviously knew each other, and they looked at each other in surprise. Xie Jin's face darkened, but Cao Cao looked familiar, and he raised his hands in greeting:
"Brother Zhigao, I haven't seen you for a few years. I miss you so much." Xie Jin snorted coldly and walked into the living room under the guidance of Xu Ding.
He raised his eyes and saw Wei Cheng sitting at the top. He cupped his hands, walked to the left and sat down. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the left was respected. Cao Cao frowned slightly when he entered, and calmly walked to the right and sat down.
Behind the two of them, Xie Yu and Liu Bei walked in together. Xie Yu looked at Wei Cheng who was standing above him. He obediently walked to sit next to Xie Jin and introduced to Xie Jin the origin of the food on the table.
In comparison, Liu Bei seemed a little at a loss. He and Cao Cao were considered together, and he should have been sitting next to Cao Cao.
But he was also Wei Cheng's guest, so he should stand on both sides like Xu Ding. Just when he hesitated, Wei Cheng in the hall spoke.
"Haha, brother Xuande, why are you standing there? Hurry up and take a seat. Seeing this, Xu Ding, who was standing aside, stepped forward and led Liu Bei to sit next to Cao Cao. Liu Bei was uneasy and uneasy, and at the same time he was a little self-deprecating. This is completely torn apart. It's a shame. Think about it, today is different from the past. He now holds the imperial power and is ordered to assist Cao Cao in recruiting troops. In time... In time, he was too impatient after all. Liu Bei already regretted it. . Admittedly, both Xie Jin and Cao Cao came with a purpose, but after eating the food and wine on the table, they couldn't help but marvel and have endless aftertaste. They bluntly said that this was the most delicious meal they had ever eaten in their lives. Wei Cheng chatted with them about this. Regarding the recipes and origins of the food, the three of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. They drank and chatted, and it was very comfortable. After three rounds of wine, the food was delicious. After all, it was Cao Cao who spoke first. Cao Cao stood up and faced Wei Cheng He cupped his hands, and then motioned to Liu Bei to take out the edict and a letter from Dong Zhuo. After reading it, Wei Qing's expression did not change, and she just smiled and said:
"Thank you Mr. Dong for your kindness. Wei is not interested in becoming an official in the court or anything like that. As for assisting General Cao: I wonder how General Cao wants Wei to assist?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Cao Cao handed over his hand again and said with a smile:
"On the way north, everyone heard that Young Master Wen Tao's military strategy was extremely good, and he had countless elite soldiers and generals. For example, Xu Gongming, whose cavalry was worth a thousand people, could form an army with one man. If he could get help from this person, Bai Bo's army would definitely not be able to do anything. Afraid." Wei Cheng raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and said calmly:
"General Cao wants to borrow someone?" Cao Cao said seriously:
"Yes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The young master is civilized and military, and the strong man Xu is invincible. Cao
"Wait, wait... What, what do you mean, you want to borrow it from me too?" Wei Cheng interrupted Cao Cao directly.
Cao Cao, who had already prepared some righteous words, directly blocked his mouth, looked at Wei Cheng, frowned and said:
"Young Master, what does this mean? A real man is born in heaven and earth. He should make great contributions and honor his ancestors. After the Baibo Army puts an end to the rebellion, Cao will become Young Master Yan and ask for merit for the Wei family. By then, the Young Master will probably be ranked among the Nine Ministers. Your Majesty may even get the title of Three Dukes, wouldn't that be beautiful?" This picture is a bit too big. The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are the pinnacle of power in the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao doesn't believe that Wei Cheng will not be tempted. Liu Bei, who is sitting next to Cao Cao, is already envious. His facial features were distorted and he raised his eyes to look at Wei Cheng, but he couldn't help but be startled.
He also thought Wei Cheng would agree. Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng picked up the wine glass, drank it all, yawned and said:
"Sorry, Wei is not interested."
"Cao Cao is stupid, and so is Liu Bei.
