Chapter 70: Loyalty to Talents
&If you have time tonight, then there will be a second watch, if not, then there will be two watches tomorrow.
Today, the only one who is really vigilant about Liu Bei is Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao from later generations, but he understands how difficult Liu Bei is.
But such vigilance is only because of the memory of later generations, and Xi Zhicai actually reminded Cao Cao to pay attention to Liu Bei, which made Cao Cao have a trace of doubt in his heart, should the drama in front of him be a time traveler, right?
& If this drama in front of him is really a traverser, then he can't continue to live! β
Cao Cao's heart rose a touch of killing intent, for the drama Zhicai who may be a traverser, Cao Cao has no hometown in his heart, tears in his eyes, and some only have killing intent, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows, what this traverser who is also from the next generation is thinking in his heart.
Of course, because it was just a guess in his heart, Cao Cao did not immediately suppress Xi Zhicai and kill him, but he covered up the killing intent in his heart very well, and asked with confusion on his face: "Why did Mr. mention Liu Bei, you know, when Liu Bei was fighting Dong, in order to win the first merit, he kept giving orders, and went out of the allied camp at night that day. Could it be that Mr. Cheng has the ability to predict the future? β
Cao Cao's last sentence with a smile was said to be meaningful, Cao Cao believed that if the drama in front of him was really a traverser, he would definitely be able to hear that something was wrong in his words.
And then Xi Zhicai's reaction made Cao Cao secretly relieved in his heart, only to see Xi Zhicai smile and shake his head slightly, without the slightest strangeness and uneasiness on his face: "No, the prophet is uncertain, and the reason why Cao Gong attaches importance to Liu Bei is because of Liu Bei's character." β
After saying the above words, Xi Zhicai suddenly asked Cao Cao: "I don't know what Gong Cao thinks of Liu Bei?" β
Cao Cao, who heard this question, did not answer immediately, but thought about it before he spoke: "Liu Bei, in my opinion, is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals and at the same time covet fame and fortune, but in the same way, Liu Bei is ambitious, but he does not have enough distant vision. β
& Gong said, it has almost said Liu Bei's character, but there are still some omissions. β
For Cao Cao's answer, Xi Zhicai was also very impressed in his heart, he didn't expect Cao Cao to know Liu Bei so well, so after glancing at Cao Cao with admiration, he opened his mouth and continued: "Liu Bei, although he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but that is when he is poor and dagger, and before that, Liu Bei is generous to others, and on the surface it can be said that he is like a charitable elder. When Liu Bei left Anxi County, the local people were sent more than ten miles away. β
Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai stood up, paced back and forth in the lobby for a few steps, and continued to say to Cao Cao: "Although Liu Bei's notoriety has spread all over the world, most of the people who really have a sense of disgust for Liu Bei are still in Guanzhong, Xiliang, Central Plains, Hebei, these northern places, such as Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, far away from the Central Plains, although I have heard of it, but it is not as detailed as the Central Plains. At the same time, if you are hypocritical, then it will be like a dragon entering the sea. β
&Raw, a bit exaggerated, right? β
Cao Cao didn't believe in Xi Zhicai's words in his heart, in another time and space, Liu Bei's reputation was even better, he was not chased by Cao Cao and ran around, if it weren't for Cao Cao in his later years, who was stubborn and proud and underestimated the enemy, Liu Bei would have been destroyed a long time ago, how could there be a later three-point world.
Xi Zhicai shook his head, there was no longer the slightest smile on his face, and said with a solemn face: "Cao Gong don't underestimate Liu Bei, if it is just what I said before, Liu Bei will eventually become Dong Zhuo and others, and the reason why I really think that Cao Gong needs to pay attention to Liu Bei is his heart." β
& I know how Cao Gong felt if the tiger was locked up at that time, and Cao Gong was in Liu Bei's position? β
Suddenly hearing this question of Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao was stunned, but with his trust in Xi Zhicai above history, Cao Cao did not ignore the past, but seriously thought about what it would be like if he was in Liu Bei's position at that time.
The more he thought about it, the more ugly Cao Cao's face became, because he found that if he was in Liu Bei's position at that time, although he would not be said to have been hit hard and lost confidence from then on, but for his future, there would always be a trace of uncertainty in his heart, of course, this is not the reason why Cao Cao's heart is not firm, but because, Cao Cao did not have a definite and firm goal.
But Liu Bei is different, Cao Cao finally remembered at this time, that night, when the three brothers led by Liu Bei led hundreds of soldiers under their command, taking advantage of the night to forcibly escape, the firm and unshakable look in Liu Bei's eyes, that is a feeling that no matter whether there is a mountain or a sea in front of him, he will eventually jump over, that is a very sure and firm look for his goal.
& Came to be influenced by some introductions from later generations, thinking that Liu Bei won the world, and a lot of Cheng dΓΉ was made by crying. β
Cao Cao secretly said in his heart, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao also understood that Liu Bei could become an emperor from a straw sandal seller, how could it be simple, just by crying.
A person who has means, can act, and has a firm heart is not terrible, but while having the means, being able to act, and having a firm heart, he has a firm and unshakable goal in his heart, such a person is undoubtedly difficult and terrifying.
& However, from such an unnoticed place, to be able to observe this, Xi Zhicai, as described by history, is indeed a top strategist. Cao Cao sighed with joy in his heart.
After having a deeper understanding of the wisdom of Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao is even more unlikely to let Xi Zhicai go, Cao Cao, who was sitting on his knees, suddenly became solemn, got up and said to Xi Zhicai in front of him: "Mr. Dacai, it can be said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and I hope that Mr. can stay, help Cao, and create a great cause!" β
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, whose eyes were full of anticipation, smiled slightly, and bent down towards Cao Cao and said, "Xi Zhong, I've seen the lord!" β
