Chapter 80: Cao Mengde's Disposal of Guan Yu (continued)

If you really want to behead Guan Yu, is it possible for Cao Cao to do that, and it is impossible to kill him. But in this situation, just the generals here plead with Guan Yu, but it is still not enough. If there is only one person in the house, then even if Guan Yu is not punished, to be honest, there is nothing particularly big in the end. But Sun Ce and Liu Bei, as well as their subordinates, what kind of explanation did they give them, but this must be reasonable.

Cao Cao asked everyone, "Everyone thinks so?" ”

As a result, the Yanzhou military generals said in unison: "Yes, we all think the same way!" ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, but he said in his heart, it's still not good, it's not enough, if he Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande also say the same, then this matter will be done.

After that, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others also pleaded with Cao Cao to intercede with Guan Yu one after another, but they also knew very well in their hearts that as long as Sun Ce and Liu Bei did not speak, then this matter would definitely be difficult to do-

So in the final analysis, the root of this matter is actually with the two of them, not on the Yanzhou army.

Cao Cao is a character after all, no matter how you say it, he is the traitor of the troubled times, and he immediately had an idea.

I only heard him say to Liu Bei: "I don't know what Xuande thinks about this matter?" ”

Cao Cao can be said to know Liu Bei very well, even when he was in Xu Du. Liu Bei has already had frequent contact with Guan Yu. However, Cao Cao also knew in his heart that even if Guan Yu didn't look down on him, he definitely couldn't look down on Liu Bei. At least in the case of being nice to him. Under the premise, he generally will not break away from himself and the Yanzhou Army.

And Cao Cao also knew that when he asked Liu Bei, eighty percent of Liu Bei could speak, after all, this is the only time for him to speak, and he is still heading. That's what is best for him. Of course, Cao Cao wouldn't think that Liu Bei didn't understand this, not to mention that there were masters around him. That Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, isn't that it?

Liu Bei asked him again when he heard Cao Cao, and pulled him into the water again. But this time, I can't pretend to be stupid anymore, for my own interests. You have to speak. And he has to speak for Guan Yu.

Besides, Liu Bei has a good idea. Originally, he took a fancy to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu didn't mean that to him, so he wanted to take refuge in him or something. However, Liu Bei never gave up, so he knew in his heart that this was actually an opportunity for himself, an opportunity to befriend Guan Yu.

He didn't know anything else. At least he knew that Guan Yu was definitely a person who would repay his kindness. Then I helped him speak today, so one day, he will return it to himself, help himself, and exchange this favor.

In the same way, if he offends him, say beheading, then maybe one day he will find an opportunity to take revenge on himself, and never expect him to take refuge in himself. So as for how to do it, which can bring the greatest and most benefits to himself, Liu Bei knows it in his heart-

And he knows better that even if he says that Guan Yu will be beheaded, then Cao Cao will definitely listen to him? At least Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao definitely had other methods, and in the end, he could always save Guan Yu from being beheaded. And if he wants to say beheading, then he guarantees that he Sun Bofu must be interceding with Guan Yu, so Liu Bei knows in his heart that when he has to express his position, and he is still the first to express his position, only by interceding with Guan Yu can he get more benefits.

Yes, if you do this, you will end up offending Sun Ce, but to be honest, there are not so many things that can have both, so if you want the greatest benefit, you can only give up Sun Ce's part of the interests, isn't it. It is impossible for all the benefits to be yours alone, besides, how can there be so many good things, Liu Bei knows it very well in his heart.

So after listening to Cao Cao's question, he just smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong, although General Guan said that he went out of the city without permission and fought with the enemy general, it is indeed excusable. And the words of the generals are indeed reasonable, and now the Liangzhou army is eyeing the city and killing the generals, which is not good for the army, so it is ......"——

Liu Bei didn't say the latter words, everyone knew what they meant. After Cao Cao heard this, he was satisfied, and said that he asked him Liu Xuande first, which is right, this chess move is right. Look, Liu Bei really spoke for Guan Yu.

As soon as Sun Ce heard Liu Bei's words, he secretly scolded Liu Bei in his heart, saying in his heart that this Liu Xuande, Liu Da'er is really cunning. At this time, he knew that he wanted to obtain the greatest benefit for himself, and he didn't look at his own eyes to act, but directly set up his own mountain.

However, Sun Ce really had no choice about Liu Bei, he knew in his heart that most of the time, Liu Bei listened to himself and did not refute himself, which did not mean that he was afraid of himself. On the contrary, he is for himself, for his own interests, and that's why he has to do it. But if you really want him to choose, in the face of the greater good, and himself, how will he Liu Xuande choose, then it is conceivable that it is like now.

Cao Cao said: "Okay, the meaning of Xuande, I already know!" ”――

Then Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce, and he knew that the most important thing was this "little overlord". After all, he punished his generals before, even if he was punished lightly, but now what he Sun Bofu thinks, he doesn't know. But Cao Cao is confident that Sun Ce will still intercede for Guan Yu, because there is no need to befriend himself and Guan Yu, so if he is still wise, he naturally knows how to choose.

Cao Cao finally said to Sun Ce: "But I don't know General Sun, what do you think about this?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, his heart came, and he Cao Mengde finally asked himself. But what else can I say now, of course, I still plead, or I can only not participate, just like that. Of course, he can also say that he beheaded Guan Yu, but in the end, he must offend a group of people, so he can't do it.

So Sun Ce followed Liu Bei and said, "Ce agrees with what Xuande Gong said!" ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was all solved, and this matter was completely rectified.

In the end, Cao Cao said to Guan Yu, "Guan Yu disobeyed the order and went out of the city to fight the enemy general without authorization, so he should be beheaded!" However, for the sake of his contribution to the imperial court, plus the face of Xuande and General Sun interceding with the generals, they will not be beheaded! However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, from now on, Guan Yuguan will be demoted to three levels, and the military staff will be fifty! ”

Then Cao Cao said again: "Come on, execute!" ”

As he spoke, a Yanzhou sergeant came over, and Guan Yu was taken down to beat the military staff for fifty. To be honest, Cao Cao didn't want to do this, but he knew in his heart that Guan Yu had to remember this matter, and whether he could resist the order in the future and not take himself seriously. Although Cao Cao felt that Guan Yu would do it if he had the chance, he would remember today's punishment after all.

As for Guan Yu, he didn't say a word about it. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it would be very good if he could not be beheaded. As for beating fifty with a cane, that's just a trifle. Besides, Guan Yu doesn't know about those soldiers who were executed, but they all have unique skills.

What a unique job, that is, the unique work of executing and beating people. If you explain it simply, then the louder the other party's scolding, it may not actually be used much after it falls. To put it bluntly, you may end up feeling like tickling. There is also a possibility that the sound of the beating is very small, but after it falls, it hits the point, and it can definitely hurt you, and it may be very serious.

And this is the ability, and it can be regarded as a unique job, but ordinary people can't do it, only if they have been doing this for many years, then they can do it.

Cao Cao said in his heart that this matter was finally solved, and he could breathe a sigh of relief. But fortunately, it was all within my own expectations, and it did not exceed my estimates, which is not bad. If it really exceeds, then too, you may have to be anxious.

Cao Cao can't be blamed for thinking so much about this, the key is that it is indeed compared, how to say it, it is still more special. Guan Yu is here in the Yanzhou Army, he is quite special, so he ......-

Sun Ce saw that this matter was over in the end, and Liu Bei finally stopped pretending to sleep. (To be continued......)
