Upon seeing Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun hurriedly bowed to him.
He said with a solemn expression.
"The Prime Minister is in danger!"
Cao Cao put down the military book in his hand and unconsciously smiled. He looked at Xiahou Dun with interest and did not panic at all.
It was not that he looked down on Xiahou Dun.
Instead…she really looked down on him!
To be honest, what did Xiahou Dun know?
Even Jia Xu, who was standing at the side, looked calm, which made Cao Cao feel even more at ease.
Cao Cao absent-mindedly picked the candle wick and asked casually," Yuan Rang, what do you mean?”
Xiahou Dun, on the other hand, had a serious expression on his face.
Xiahou Dun cupped his hands and said," Prime Minister, you still need to be careful of Liu Bei. If Liu Bei goes south and allies with Sun Quan to resist Prime Minister, then Prime Minister will definitely lose this battle!”
"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled in confusion. Actually, he didn't want to laugh either. He really couldn't hold it in anymore." Does Yuan Rang mean that I should be careful of Liu Bei?”
Xiahou Dun nodded fiercely.
Cao Cao turned his gaze to Jia Xu and lightly said," Wen He, what do you think of this matter?”
Jia Xu glanced at Xiahou Dun and walked forward. He cupped his hands and said," Liu Bei has now abandoned the city and fled. How can he have the strength to ally with Sun Quan?”
Cao Cao nodded.
What Jia Xu said was exactly what he wanted to say.
In the Battle of Dangyang, although Cao Cao did not win, Liu Bei was defeated.
More than half of the soldiers who followed him had died, and Liu Bei had suffered a great loss. There was really no need to take him seriously now.
The current Cao Cao really did not put Liu Bei in his eyes.
Not even when they were discussing heroes in the past.
At that time, Liu Bei was under Cao Cao. Cao Cao said that he was a hero. This made many people think that Cao Cao had foresight and felt that Liu Bei was a hero. Even Liu Bei himself felt the same way. But was Cao Cao praising Liu Bei?
A hero actually defected to him. Cao Cao was praising himself!
At this moment, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and the others also arrived at Cao Cao's tent.
When they entered and saw the smiles on Cao Cao and Jia Xu's faces, they knew that Xiahou Dun was making a fool of himself.
The few of them cupped their hands at Xiahou Dun and said," I heard that the Military Advisor has something important to discuss with the Prime Minister. What's the matter?"”
The few of them were all aristocratic families, and now that Xiahou Dun was the Military Advisor Chancellor, the few of them also deliberately made things difficult for Xiahou Dun.
Cao Cao spoke before Xiahou Dun could reply.
"Chancellor Xia Hou told me to be careful of Liu Bei. Liu Bei might ally with Sun Quan when he goes south. If that's the case, we will definitely lose.”
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the entire tent burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Liu Bei?"
"Chancellor Xia Hou is truly a great talent!”
……
Xun You took a step forward and clasped his hands in front of his chest, staring straight at Xiahou Dun.
"Dare I ask, Chancellor Xiahou, oh no, substitute chancellor, now that Liu Bei has abandoned Xinye, fled to Fancheng, defeated Dangyang, and fled to Xiakou, he doesn't even have a place to stay, so why would Sun Quan ally with him?”
After saying that, Xun You stared at Xiahou Dun. His meaning was very simple. If he couldn't answer, he would start arguing!
Xiahou Dun shook his head and sighed. How could these people not understand?
Since he didn't understand, he would explain it to them!
Xiahou Dun imitated Lu Yu's stance and turned around to look at Xun You. He asked word by word," Gongda, do you know the name of Imperial Uncle Liu?"”
Xun You nodded." Of course!"
Xiahou Dun nodded in satisfaction." Gongda, since you know Imperial Uncle Liu, don't you know that Liu Bei, in the name of Imperial Uncle Liu, can raise an army with a wave of his hand?”
"Although he has no soldiers or land in today's defeat, he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and he will immediately have tens of thousands of soldiers!”
"Liu Bei, you dare to underestimate me?"
Hiss!
The tent was silent.
Xiahou Dun's words stunned everyone on the spot.
Xiahou Dun's words made sense!
With Imperial Uncle Liu's reputation, even if he had no soldiers today, would he have no soldiers in the future?
Liu Bei had relied on his title as Imperial Uncle Liu to raise an army!
Xun You's face turned red. He did not know how to answer Xiahou Dun's question. He stood rooted to the ground and stared at Xiahou Dun with widened eyes.
Was this still the Xiahou Dun he knew?
I can't beat him!
Seeing Xun You speechless, Xun Rong's expression turned ugly. He could not keep his face and snorted coldly.
"Lord Chancellor, I'm afraid you think too highly of Liu Bei? Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, what is there to fear?”
Xiahou Dun shook his head.
In fact, he had thought the same before.
However, Lu Yu reminded him.
It couldn't be helped. This was the common problem of aristocratic families. They looked down on these lower-class people.
Xiahou Dun stared at Xun Rong and said," Then let me ask you. Gaozu rose up and became a pavilion leader, but he would eventually rule the world. What do you say?”
"This…"
Xun Rong was at a loss for words.
Even Cao Cao, who was standing at the side, stared at Xiahou Dun with his mouth agape. Xiahou Dun's smooth answers had rendered the strategists speechless.
How shocking was it to be able to use one person's strength to fight against so many strategists?
He was a general!
Since when did he have such a sharp tongue?
At this moment, Cheng Yu was just about to stand out and argue with Xiahou Dun when he saw Cao Cao wave his hand.
Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun," Yuan Rang's meaning is that Liu Bei will ally with Sun Quan after recruiting soldiers and horses. Sun Quan now occupies River East and has more than 200,000 soldiers. Why would he ally with Liu Bei, who only has a small army?”
Cao Cao's gaze landed on Xiahou Dun. Just like Xun You, if things didn't go well, he would have to fight with him!
Xiahou Dun said leisurely.
"Because Liu Bei and Sun Quan both have a common enemy, and that is you, Prime Minister!”
"And the enemy of my enemy is my ally. How can the Prime Minister not understand this logic?”
"Yuan Rang requests the Prime Minister to ally with Sun Quan to kill Liu Bei!”
"This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed!”
In the tent, Xiahou Dun's voice was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
Everyone stood rooted to the ground.
Like a wooden chicken!
Was Xiahou Dun going to argue with the scholars?
What a good counselor, Chancellor!
Cao Cao carefully savored Xiahou Dun's words." The enemy of my enemy is my ally…
He unconsciously frowned.
How did he come up with such a reasonable statement?
……
It was late at night.
Cao Cao's tent was still brightly lit.
Jia Xu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and the others surrounded Cao Cao. They were all excited and their hands were trembling.
"This is the opinion of an expert!"
"That's right! Xiahou Dun has received guidance from an expert again!"
"I'm sure there's an expert behind Xiahou Dun!”
……
Cao Cao's expression was solemn as he looked at the few of them.
"Have you seen Xiahou Dun go anywhere these past few days?”
The few of them shook their heads.
Never seen him before!
It was said that Xiahou Dun had an expert behind him, but no one had seen him before.
There wasn't even a shred of evidence.
At this moment, Jia Xu said," Prime Minister, I won't hide it from you. I've been secretly observing Yuan Rang these past few days. He really didn't go anywhere.”
Everyone nodded. This was strange!
At this moment, Jia Xu said," However, just now, when I met him, he said that he was sleeping in the forest. After he woke up, he went straight to the Prime Minister's place!”
"Could it be…"
Jia Xu's words made the few of them frown even more.
Sleeping in the forest…
Was it really a dream?
Could it be that Xiahou Dun was wrongly accused?
