Seeing that Liu Bei was still chatting with Cao Cao,
Zhao Yang called Zhao Yun over.
"Zilong, has Liu Bei been like this every day recently?”
"That's right, Military Advisor. Recently, you've been playing around with your two sisters-in-law at home, so Liu Bei has been taking the opportunity to look for the lord every day. Recently, the lord plans to let him go to Chenggao to gather the people and guard that place.”
Zhao Yang frowned." Has the lord been bewitched by this Liu Bei and is planning to put him in an important position?"”
"It looks like this. Liu Bei said that he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are also very skilled in martial arts.”Zhao Yun looked depressed.
"Don't worry, wait for me to talk to my lord. It's just a mere Liu Bei.”
Zhao Yang patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and walked towards Cao Cao.
"Eh? The military counselor is here?" When Cao Cao saw Zhao Yang, he was overjoyed." I saw that you were happy these few days and nothing big happened, so I didn't disturb you. Have you settled your two wives?"”
Liu Bei smiled politely when he saw Zhao Yang, but his eyes lit up.
Zhao Yang smiled." Settling down is a lifetime thing. It's not that fast. However, I heard that there are some thieves here. I had to come over."”
Cao Cao immediately knew that Zhao Yang was talking about Liu Bei and felt awkward.""Military Advisor, Xuande is a descendant of the Han Dynasty and the student of General Lu Zhonglang. He is not a thief. Is there some misunderstanding between you and Xuande?”
Liu Bei took a step forward and sighed,""The Bei family has been in decline. My family has been poor since I was young. I made a living by selling shoes and weaving mats. I'm used to seeing too much injustice. Let's not talk about the past. When Hua Xiong attacked, we brothers wanted to fight, but we were humiliated by Yuan Shao.”
When Cao Cao heard this, he felt even more troubled. Zhao Yang had contributed too much in the past. Otherwise, he would have been humiliated by Cao Cao today.
However, even so, Cao Cao still pulled Zhao Yang,""Sir, now is the time for us to prepare our troops and make great efforts to govern the country. If we can have one more person to work for us, we will have one more point of strength!”
"My lord, would I dissuade him if he was a talent?" Zhao Yang smiled and shook his head. How do you think Liu Bei is worth using? Martial strength?"
Cao Cao hesitated but did not deny it.
Zhao Yang immediately laughed. It was just two brothers who were working for him.”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment before he immediately laughed. He pulled Zhao Yang to the side and whispered,"Military counselor, it's also a skill to be able to rope people in and work for him. Look at me. I'm not good at literature or martial arts, but I can use a great talent like military counselor and a fierce general like Zilong! Liu Bei is under my control and can help me expand my territory quickly!”
Zhao Yang couldn't help but chuckle." My lord, I'm relieved that you think that way. Since you think that he's the same kind of person as you, why would you dare to use him?" Do you really think that someone like Liu Bei would be willing to be at your beck and call?”
Cao Cao was stunned again. He finally knew what Zhao Yang was worried about.
However, he thought for a while and said,"He does have some ability, but he might not have that kind of intention, right?" At the very least, he hadn't revealed it yet.”
Zhao Yang shook his head. Did my lord forget that Gongsun Zan did not recommend them to fight when the vassals gathered, but Liu Bei and the other two went out twice! After embarrassing Gongsun Zan the first time, he did it a second time! The lord didn't think there was a problem with such a person?”
Cao Cao's expression changed as he recalled this. He turned to look at Liu Bei with worry.
Although Liu Bei had an aggrieved expression on his face, he had been observing Cao Cao. When he saw Cao Cao's expression, he immediately felt that something was wrong. However, he could not force himself to defend himself. He could only secretly pray that Zhao Yang would not analyze him in depth.
Cao Cao was a person who loved talent. He would not give up unless he had no other choice. After all, according to normal development, he would even want to recruit Lu Bu from the White Gate Pavilion.
Thus, after hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice,""Military Advisor, even if Liu Bei is a villain, as long as we are careful, we should be able to guard against him. He is a descendant of the Han Dynasty.”
"My lord, which descendant of the Han Dynasty do you see that talks about his identity every day?" Zhao Yang laughed again. Even an idiot like Liu Dai had never done this before! For example, the lord is most familiar with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, right? Look at Yuan Shu. Although he is arrogant and impatient, when has the lord ever heard Yuan Shu talk about his identity every day? Only Yuan Shao kept talking about his four generations and three dukes every day. Why? I'm naturally guilty!"
"Your military words have enlightened me!" Cao Cao's face revealed a look of realization. I was bewitched by Liu Bei's flowery words and actually didn't notice anything wrong with him! Now that Advisor Jun had mentioned it, it seemed to be true!”
"My lord, do you know that after Gongsun Zan left, Liu Bei was still thinking of poaching Zilong while we were attacking Dong Zhuo?”Zhao Yang threw out another piece of heavy news.
"W-what?!" Cao Cao was shocked and his eyes were filled with disbelief." Is that true?”
"My lord, you can ask Zilong…Forget it, I'll call Zilong over for you. I'll see through him today so that my lord will have less doubts in the future.”
Zhao Yang waved at Zhao Yun and called him over.
Seeing this, Liu Bei was puzzled at first, then his heart tightened. Could it be that Zhao Yang reported him because he tried to rope in Zhao Yun? Zhao Yang didn't seem like a snitch…Not good, if he were to snitch, not only would he lose face, but he would also lose the chance to use Cao Cao to rise!
At this moment, Liu Bei was worried and had the intention to retreat. Unfortunately, this was Cao Cao's territory, so he did not dare to leave rashly. Thus, he fell into a dilemma.
After Zhao Yun came over, Cao Cao asked a few questions and Zhao Yun told him everything that had happened.
"My lord, this Liu Bei was only a horse archer under Gongsun Zan. His status was low, and he even joined my lord. However, he secretly poached someone. The officers and soldiers in the army were quite dissatisfied that their lord had actually walked with such a despicable person these few days!”
"That serious?" Cao Cao was shocked. Fortunately, I haven't been honest with him yet. Otherwise, wouldn't I have disappointed everyone? However, he is still respectful to me. If I rashly chase him away without a good reason, I'm afraid I will lose the hearts of the people!”
Zhao Yang smiled." Liu Bei has a humble status, but he poached Zilong. He must be a self-proclaimed hero. He is here to learn from Gou Jian and wait for the right opportunity!" I have a plan. Tomorrow, my lord will cook wine for him and discuss heroes. I will definitely be able to make him reveal his true form!”
