Chapter 225 Liu Bei's bamboo rig is easy to knock

"Your Majesty, you lost again."

Wu Fan leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.

Today, Wu Fan came to the prefect's house to play chess with Emperor Xian. Xian is currently living in the prefect's house. He has just played three games. Wu Fan is not polite and beat Emperor Xian with 3 to 0. Emperor Xian is also well aware that Wu Fan never lets him go when playing chess with him, and his chess skills can only increase when playing chess with Wu Fan. If he is a close civil servant, eunuch, etc. around him, he will only deliberately lose chess to himself. Although he wins every time, his chess skills are getting worse and worse.

Therefore, although Wu Fan killed Emperor Xian to throw away his armor every time, Emperor Xian liked to play chess with Wu Fan more and more. Every time Wu Fan came to the city where Emperor Xian was, he would almost be called by Emperor Xian to get a few games.

Wu Fan was also happy. Wu Fan was not proficient in Go, but after he was familiar with the rules, he learned the rules and became more flexible. However, Wu Fan had no time to study this thing at all, and most of his military generals could not play chess. Although Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other advisers could play chess, Wu Fan was defeated repeatedly in front of them. It was rare that he could always find the most precious self-confidence of men in Emperor Xian. Wu Fan was naturally very happy to play chess with Emperor Xian.

At this time, Cao Cao, accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, also came to the back garden.

Cao Cao is now appointed as the first-rank prime minister and has the privilege of going to court with swords and shoes. He doesn't need to say hello in advance, but comes whenever he wants to come. In fact, Cao Cao's move is intended to ease the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. His philosophy is to "suppose the emperor to order the emperor to be unjust". As long as Emperor Xian knows the times and does not cause trouble, Cao Cao still wants to make the relationship between the monarch and the ministers better.

After all, if even he was so angry that Emperor Xian felt depressed, who would take Emperor Xian seriously?

Seeing Cao's expression, his hands holding the chess piece kept trembling. Although Wu Fan killed more people than Cao Cao, Wu Fan always looked honest in front of Emperor Xian. Even when he was ambushed in Zhaoming Palace in Luoyang, Wu Fan did not feel embarrassed for Emperor Xian afterwards, which made Emperor Xian have a subconscious dependence and trust in Wu Fan.

Cao Cao was different. After that ambush incident, Cao Cao led his troops into the palace angrily, and killed the eunuch who was forcibly distinguished by Emperor Xian in front of Emperor Xian, and issued an order to kill the entire Dong Mansion. Emperor Xian was very afraid of Cao Cao, and his scalp was numb when he saw Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was approaching with kindness at this time, Emperor Xian still did not dare to look up at him.

Among these two people, Wu Fan was the only one who could get along with each other. He took the initiative to say hello to Cao Cao, and then filled Emperor Xian and his teacup. Wu Fan ignored the subtle relationship between the two people and just drank the tea leisurely and walked his own chess.

Cao Cao was sitting next to Emperor Xian at this time. However, Cao Cao had no gentlemanly style of watching chess and was often given advice to Emperor Xian. Emperor Xian was timid and Cao Cao told him to walk whatever he wanted. After a few rounds, Wu Fan could no longer withstand. His chess skills were far worse than Cao Cao, so he took back his moves that were about to fall:

"Lord, I am playing against Your Majesty at the right time, and I am about to meet a good talent. I play it in a difficult time, but the balance was broken in just a few moves. Don't you think this is a very disappointing thing?"

Cao bsp; "I'm afraid the person who is disappointed should only refer to Meng Xuan?"

Wu Fan had played chess with Cao Cao several times, but before becoming the governor, he realized that his chess skills were no match for Cao Cao at all. Wu Fan had never played chess with Cao Cao since then. When Cao Cao invited him to play chess, his head hurts or his stomach hurts, and in short, he just doesn't go. It is rare for Cao Cao to see Wu Fan playing chess, so he naturally had to play chess with Wu Fan indirectly at this opportunity.

At this time, Cao bsp; "Since Meng Xuan can no longer be interested in this game, why not let us start over again?"

Wu Fan immediately took a breath and covered his stomach. Before he could speak, Cao bsp; "When I look at Meng Xuan's expression, I suddenly felt abdominal pain?"

Wu Fan was embarrassed when he was discovered and said with a shameless face:

"As the lord said, I suddenly felt unbearable pain in my abdomen and could not play chess with my lord. Please ask your lord and your majesty to continue."

After saying that, Cao Cao laughed loudly, and Wu Fan also laughed. Emperor Xian seemed to see the mystery at this time, and couldn't help laughing. He quickly covered his sleeves and coughed intently to cover up his mouth, covering it up.

At this time, an eunuch came to Emperor Xian and looked around at Cao Cao and Wu Fan. However, they had no intention of retreating at all. They just pretended that they had not seen the eunuch's expression. Emperor Xian had to say to the eunuch:

"Neither Prime Minister Cao nor Governor Wu are outsiders, just say anything."

太监应了一声,这才开口道:

“启禀陛下,新野太守,刘备求见.”

Liu Bei and Emperor Xian had a very unusual relationship. In terms of seniority, he was Emperor Xian’s uncle. When Dong Cheng conspired to ambush Wu Fan, he discussed with Emperor Xian whether to let Liu Bei do his part. After learning that Liu Bei was chased by Wu Fan and fell into the Sishui River, his life and death were unknown, he gave up.

However, through this incident, I can see that the relationship between Emperor Xian and Liu Bei is definitely not ordinary.

Cao Cao and Wu Fan naturally knew that Liu Bei did not leave Yecheng, and they knew very well that Liu Bei did not leave Yecheng for Zhang Fei. At this time, he heard that Liu Bei came to see Emperor Xian, Cao Cao and Wu Fan looked at each other and guessed that it must be related to Zhang Fei. The two of them remained silent and continued to drink tea and joke.

Emperor Xian was stunned after hearing the eunuch's words, and turned to look at Wu Fan and Cao Cao. Seeing that the two of them had no strange expressions, he felt a little relieved. He said to the eunuch:

“传朕口谕,令刘备在书房侯驾.”

He said this to avoid Cao Cao and Wu Fan and meet Liu Bei alone. Of course, Cao Cao would not allow him to do this, and immediately spoke out:

"I have not seen you for many years and I have some old feelings to be expressed. Why don't your Majesty summon the Grandpa Liu here so that we can have a chat?"

Emperor Xian certainly understood what Cao Cao meant, so he had to nod and said:

"Since that's the case, according to your beloved, I asked Liu Bei to come to the back garden to see you."

The eunuch took the order and left. After a while, Liu Bei bent all the way and followed the eunuch.

Xu Zhu and his men, who were standing in front of the Guanhua Pavilion, leaned into the middle of the road, blocked Liu Bei, and were about to search. Cao bsp; "Premier Liu is not an outsider, you two can retreat and let him come."
