Imagine the scene at that time and have three rounds of drinking. Cao Cao pretended to be a little drunk, squinted at Liu Bei and said, "The heroes in the world are just you and me!" " What would Cao Cao think if Liu Bei was silent or still eating and drinking?
Cao Cao and Liu Bei are pregnant with ghosts. Cao Cao had long known that Liu Bei was ambitious. Now it's just a phoenix on the grass, a hidden dragon in the abyss. If there is an opportunity, it will definitely soar. Besides, Cao Cao's advisers had already reminded him to kill Liu Bei. However, although Liu Bei was down and out at that time, he had a good reputation in the Jianghu. In order to buy the hearts of heroes in the world, Cao Cao deliberately left him alive, but he was afraid to let him go, so he was put under house arrest.
As for Liu Bei, knowing that Cao Cao doubted himself, he buried himself in his garden every day, not making friends with court officials, trying to make Cao Cao forget his existence and then waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Therefore, both of them tried their best to pretend that Cao Cao was a corporal of the Ministry of Rites and a prime minister of rivers, while Liu Bei pretended to be a villain who lived comfortably in the countryside. But Cao Cao always wanted to know Liu Bei's inner thoughts, and Liu Bei also wanted to know whether Cao Cao had let down his guard to escape early.
When Cao Cao sent someone to invite Liu Bei to dinner that day, Liu Bei readily agreed. Both of them want to spy on each other's thoughts through this dinner.
In fact, the plot described by Luo Guanzhong is still very real. Since Cao Cao thinks Yuan Shao is not a hero, it can be seen that they really talked about heroes with wine before. Liu Bei talked about princes everywhere and blacklisted Cao Cao. Liu Bei thought, let Cao Aman concentrate on fighting with those princes and forget that he is a village man, so that I can take advantage of fishermen when I grow up.
However, Cao Cao is very clever, and his goal today is very clear, that is, to test Liu Bei, which has nothing to do with others. So no matter what ecstasy Liu Bei used, Cao Cao just didn't fall for it. In addition, Cao Cao also chose an excellent opportunity. When Liu Bei thought he had been cheated and let his guard down, he suddenly told the general that Liu Bei was a hero in the world.
Fear of shame is Liu Bei's best choice. Liu Bei was caught off guard by Cao Cao Of course, he was in a panic. He thought he had fooled Cao Aman, but he didn't expect to be fooled by Cao Aman. At this time, Cao Cao spoke his mind and fixed his eyes on Liu Bei. Liu Bei's next reaction is likely to decide his life and death. Luo Guanzhong deliberately borrowed a bolt from the blue in the natural environment to compare the lethality of Cao Cao's words and Liu Bei's mood at this time.
