Three Kingdoms: I Have a Showdown, I Am Cao Cao

Cao Cao didn't speak, but the message from his eager eyes seemed to reveal that he had the same idea as Cao Ren, and he wanted to know what happened to Liu Bei next.

"What's next..."

Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, and then said loudly.

"Liu Bei has great ambitions, but the reality is often not as full as he dreamed. Liu Bei has been fighting bandits and pacifying thieves again and again, and has been awarded small officials such as county captains and county magistrates again and again, not to mention the dominant side. This is the first time that Liu Bei's strength can't keep up with his ambitions, and he has failed for the first time!"

"It is precisely this failure that made him understand a truth. Just relying on his own struggle, even if his head is broken, even if his body is covered in bruises, if there is no one to help him with good words, help him recommend... The end of his life may not be able to catch up. The beginning of some back waves."

"This is an era that attaches great importance to family status. It is an era in which aristocratic families monopolize official careers. Under the circumstance that this big environment cannot be changed, Liu Bei can only adapt to it. At this time, Liu Bei suffered a failure and finally realized that, What he needs most is precisely what he has neglected before - the support of local elites."

"And precisely, now he has an excellent choice - General White Horse, Gongsun Zan, who rules Youzhou! He has carried bags for this old classmate, watched the wind, been a younger brother, and has been in the brothel again and again. Deep friendship has been cultivated in the red house, tea party and reception, and relying on him will definitely be able to entrust him with important tasks..."

"As expected, Gongsun Zan reunited with Liu Bei's brother, and immediately appointed him as Sima of the other divisions, and arranged for him to go to Qingzhou for training. Therefore, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei two brothers to fight in Qingzhou for two years. Because of Gongsun Zan's recommendation, he was awarded the title of Prime Minister of Pingyuan for his merits, and became a prefect at the county level."

"Here, Liu Bei, who is only [-] years old, seems to have achieved some achievements... It is reasonable to say that he should follow the steps and be the head of a county honestly. To drive... this mere high-ranking official at the county level, he still doesn't like it..."

Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a while, and he was able to tell the complete story of Liu Bei's situation before the age of [-].

Liu Bei went from being ignorant and ignorant to being unwilling to be in his thirties, and he has achieved a little...

Every detail in the middle, every one that is easy to be overlooked, Yi Xiaotian explained.

He repeatedly emphasized that...

Liu Bei's ability to judge the situation and his decisiveness and humility...

This unique charisma and method of expanding people's connections runs through Liu Bei's entire youth struggle history.

Cao Cao and Cao Ren nodded thoughtfully.

They pondered in their hearts that Liu Bei's journey from starting at the beginning to becoming the prime minister of the Plains was not easy.

But it is precisely this kind of difficulty that makes it so precious, or terrifying...

Cao Cao asked himself, in such a miserable situation, he would never do as well as Liu Bei, be as servile as Liu Bei, act decisively like Liu Bei, like Liu Bei like an unbeatable little strong...

From this point of view, Liu Bei is very strong, very strong in his bones, and is a stubborn and terrible opponent.

"Brother Yi, next, we will go to the eighteenth princes to ask for Dong?"

Cao Cao immediately asked... He knew a lot about Liu Bei's next story, beheading Hua Xiong with wine, three heroes fighting Lu Bu... It was precisely because of these things that Cao Cao was incomparable to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. value.

It is more than a few times that they want to bring some of their dying heroes under their command...

Not to mention, even now, Cao Cao is still wondering if he can recruit Liu Bei?

This idea just appeared, and Yi Xiaotian's words started again.

seem…

He didn't focus on emphasizing the merits made by Liu Bei in the process of the eighteenth princes seeking Dong, but...

"Brother lie, do you know? After Liu Bei resigned from the Plains and embarked on a new journey, why did his name of benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, and his loyalty and filial piety became famous all over the world?"

Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to just ask.

Cao Cao scratched his head. "This... I know a little bit, but it's not comprehensive. I hope Brother Yi can enlighten me!"

"It's because of two things."

Yi Xiaotian did not embarrass Cao Cao and replied directly.

"One, when Kong Rong, the prime minister of the North Sea, was beaten by Guan Hai, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, no one came to help. Only this little plain prime minister, Liu Bei, rushed out of his nest... to help the prime minister of the North Sea, Kong Rong, to stabilize the situation!"

Yi Xiaotian talked eloquently, and his voice became louder and louder.

"The second thing... It's this Xuzhou... this Xuzhou that gives Cao Cao a headache!"

……

……

Chapter [-] is definitely not something in the pool

"Brother Yi? You mean Tao Qiansan let Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously...

"No... The three letting Xuzhou go is just the result, and the process in the middle is Liu Bei's ambition, Liu Bei's ambition and accurate analysis of the situation."

Yi Xiaotian tells the story behind Sanrang Xuzhou in detail.

"Brother lie, in the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou, and Tao Qian collapsed like a lost dog. Are you familiar with this?"

Uh…

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. "No stranger..."

It's not unfamiliar, this battle is not Yi Xiaotian's plan, he Cao Cao's entire army attacked... Speaking of this, Cao Cao has to thank Yi Xiaotian for saving his father Cao Song and his younger brother Cao De.

Otherwise, the expedition of Xuzhou will definitely not be so peaceful. It should be slaughtered all the way, how can it steadily occupy half of the land in the western border of Xuzhou?

Just thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian spoke again.

"Brother lie, most of you remember... At that time, when we conquered Xuzhou, Cao Cao's soldiers pointed out that Tao Qian's army was like a lost dog, and it was defeated..."

"This time Tao Qian, or Xuzhou City's situation, is very similar to the last time Kong Rong and Beihai Kingdom were besieged by the Yellow Turbans, and Liu Bei also made the most accurate choice, taking thousands of people with him in a critical moment. Quick rescue... These two rescues can add a lot of benevolence and righteousness to Liu Bei!"

Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a while, and then he told the story. "It was for this reason that the famous Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, and Tao Qian was naturally a savior. He immediately declared Liu Bei as the prefect of Yuzhou, and handed over his Danyang soldiers to the commander of Liu Bei, and sent him to station Xiaopei to defend against Cao Cao... "

"But in the face of Cao Cao, who has absorbed hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, how can Liu Bei stand it? Soon the huge Xuzhou has been in a state of emergency. Under the internal and external troubles, even Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was dying... Give Xuzhou to Liu Bei..."

"This is the first time in Liu Bei's life that he has become an actual chief of a prefecture. It stands to reason that he should cry with joy. Over the years... He has resigned countless small officials, isn't it just for this day? To this day... It's a daughter-in-law. To become a mother, a daughter to become a mother, this is exactly what he has cultivated over the years for his keen vision, decisiveness in doing things, and generosity and righteousness in the world, and the reward he has received..."

"But just, Liu Beiqiang is strong in his vision, his insight is too good, he is too good at making the most of the situation, and taking advantage of this momentum to seek greater benefits... So, everyone in the world thought he was ecstatic to take over Xuzhou. At the moment of Mu, he hesitated, he refused, and he calmly realized that the greater the responsibility, the greater the requirement of ability..."

"The previously ineffective South and North War, rushing from east to west, made Liu Bei realize that if he wants to defend Xuzhou, this military family surrounded by wolves must fight for it, how can it be possible only with Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's dying entrustment? So he On the surface, he gave Xuzhou three orders, but secretly he began to contact Xuzhou's aristocratic clansmen and powerful businessmen, and wanted to gain their support."

"It is precisely the support of Xuzhou clansmen and powerful businessmen, that is, the support of the Xiapi Chen family and the wealthy Xuzhou Mi family... that Liu Bei finally took over Xuzhou's great seal after letting Xuzhou three times."

"In this way, Liu Bei rushed to help Xuzhou in the first place, and let Xuzhou be in the back, and his reputation spread to Kyushu, and he took Xuzhou as his own... I lied to your brother, your delicate products, will Liu Bei have a great harvest in the end? Is every step of his plan a strategist? Does each step draw on the experience and lessons of his previous failures. If it wasn't for the spoilers of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei was stationed in Xuzhou, Xuzhou would be impregnable!"

Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian suddenly stood up. "Brother lie, so I said, Liu Bei's ambition, Liu Bei's personality charm, Liu Bei's unique method of expanding his contacts, as well as his keen eyesight, decisive style of doing things, these... We can all ignore it. But..."

It seems to be talking about the key point, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands, and immediately clenched his fists, his expression became extremely serious.

"However, Liu Bei's ability to become braver and stronger the more defeated is the most terrifying aspect of him. Now he is down to earth because of his heritage and wisdom. , these are not important... But if you really let him lose a few more times and give him enough time to sum up his past experience and lessons, Liu Bei, who has regained his strength, can only be described in four words - terrifying!"

After speaking, Yi Xiaotian felt a little dry...

It's a bit embarrassing that the wine from the winery has not been delivered yet!

On the other hand, Cao Cao was caught in a shock that could not be described for a long time...

Yes... He was shocked by Liu Bei's charm, Liu Bei's vision, Liu Bei's decisiveness in dealing with things, and was also amazed at his ability to become stronger the more defeated he was, and the stronger he became in battle...

However, compared to Brother Yi's eloquent talk, Fang Cun analyzes a person so cleanly and clearly, this kind of insight, this kind of vision, let alone Liu Bei, or Cao Cao himself, who has always been known for his vicious vision. Xun Yu Xun Lingjun, even if all the advisors under his command are tied together, it is not comparable!

Liu Bei, Liu Bei, whether you are a little strong who can't be beaten to death, or a villain who understands the current situation and stands in troubled times in the name of benevolence and righteousness... After all, you can't escape Brother Yi's discernment.

call…

Cao Cao exhaled a long breath, he was really lucky.Fortunately, Yi Xiaotian was in his camp, otherwise, brother Yi would have seen through what underwear Cao Cao was wearing today.

In Cao Cao's view, no matter how powerful the enemy in front of him is, it is not scary...

On the contrary, Brother Yi's ability to peel off the cocoon, see through people, and see through it, is even more - so terrifying!

"Brother Yi, you said so much, but Liu Bei is still at the end of a hero." Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and he asked anxiously. "If this is the case, Cao Cao will help him with a lot of money and win him over. Tell me, is there a chance to win Liu Bei into his own camp?"

Uh…

Yi Xiaotian was stunned at first.

Then, he laughed out loud...

It's like hearing the biggest joke in the world.

"Brother, why are you so stupid and naive?"

Yi Xiaotian tapped Cao Cao on the shoulder. "Can Liu Bei be submissive to others? It's not obvious. How could he submit to someone else's subordinates? What's more, Cao Cao's subordinates?"

"Brother Yi? This...why is this?" Although Cao Cao also felt that Liu Bei was not inferior...but he still wanted to fight for it.

In this world, no one is born willing to surrender to whom!

Thoughts like this just surfaced...

Yi Xiaotian's next words directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Hidden brother... It looks like you are very imaginative about Liu Bei." Yi Xiaotian snorted. "If Cao Cao thinks the same as you, then it's dangerous..."

"This..." Cao Cao was taken aback...

Don't wait for him to ask.

Yi Xiaotian explained directly. "Brother, let me tell you a few stories about Liu Bei..."

Hmm... a little story?

Cao Cao became interested all of a sudden, and after talking about conquest of the Yellow Turbans, whipping the postal supervisor, rescuing Kong Rong, letting Xuzhou three times, and daring to love Liu Bei, is there a little story?

"Brother Yi, tell me quickly..." Cao Cao stretched out his hand, his tone a little eager.

"Well...it has to start from when Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou twice by Lu Bu..." Yi Xiaotian blinked his eyes. In fact, these little stories are the best way to show that Liu Bei is definitely not something in the pool.

……

……

Chapter [-] The villain and the hypocrite

"Brother lie, Mi Zhu, do you know?" Yi Xiaotian asked a question before telling the story.

"The famous big businessman in Xuzhou City, how could I not know, I heard that there are more than [-] customers in his family."

Cao Cao raised his hand... he seemed very familiar.

Speaking of which, in order to play the role of a businessman in front of Yi Xiaotian.

Cao Cao has done a lot of homework, such as merchants Weizi in Chenliu County, Mizhu in Xuzhou, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang in Youzhou, Lu Su in Soochow... He deliberately went to understand them.

In his opinion, Yi Xiaotian is a smart person. If he doesn't do his homework, he will be exposed.

"Brother lie... Then do you know that Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Bu when he was the shepherd of Xuzhou, and when he ran for his life in panic, his family... ah... Actually, it was his wife, Madam Gan, who was detained by Lu Bu?"

Yi Xiaotian then asked.

"I know..." Cao Cao nodded...
