After several rounds of drinks, Cao Cao gained a better understanding of Liu Bei and the others.
They came to join the army, but the next day they all ran away with Lu Li, which caused Cao Cao to have some resentment towards Liu Bei and the others.
However, after this banquet, Cao Cao's opinion of Liu Bei changed drastically.
This person is destined for greatness and is destined to soar to new heights!
........
Night falls, and the lights dim.
Lu Li was sitting at his desk writing something when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Lu Li put down his pen and asked.
“Master, it’s me, Tiezhu!” Dian Wei’s rough voice came.
"Come in!"
The door was quickly pushed open, and Dian Wei walked in with a grin.
"It's so late, what are you doing in my room when you're sleeping?" Lu Li rolled his eyes and asked.
Dian Wei scratched his head and chuckled, "I...I want to talk to Master about something serious."
Does this silly boy have something important to talk to me about?
Lu Li looked at Dian Wei with interest and asked, "What important matter do you have to discuss?"
Dian Wei cleared his throat and said, "Master, isn't Zhang Jiao our eldest brother?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li froze, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei sensed the sharpness in Lu Li's gaze and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Master, please don't misunderstand, I have no bad intentions!"
Lu Li smiled and said, "I didn't misunderstand, I was just a little surprised."
"How did you guess that, you idiot?"
He never expected that Dian Wei, who usually appeared simple-minded but was actually quite strong, was actually quite cunning.
But he actually guessed that Zhang Jiao was Lai Fu, which is damn clever!
"Hehe, I know Master's methods. Zhang Jiao is in Guangzong Mansion. If Master wanted to kill him, he would definitely not survive, but you said he was not there."
"Then I asked you if you wanted to look for the eldest brother, and you said you knew where he was, so I guessed that Zhang Jiao was the eldest brother!"
Goodness, that analysis is well-reasoned and supported by evidence. Tie Zhu has really made a lot of progress!
Lu Li smiled with relief and said, "Since you've already guessed it, then I won't hide it from you anymore. Zhang Jiao is indeed Lai Fu."
Upon hearing this, Dian Wei showed a look of surprise.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion... was it also started by Senior Brother?" Dian Wei swallowed hard and asked.
Lu Li nodded and said, "That's right, it's your senior brother!"
Dian Wei remained silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Li, and solemnly said, "Master, although I don't know why Senior Brother is like this, I support him!"
Lu Li helped Dian Wei up, laughing and scolding, "You idiot, what are you doing? Did I say I didn't support him?"
Dian Wei stood up, grinned, and said, "Hehe, I knew you would support Senior Brother!"
Lu Li patted Dian Wei's head and said with a light laugh, "This is your senior brother's choice, so naturally I will fully support him!"
"Then why did Master come to Cao Cao's place? Wouldn't it be better for him to stay with Senior Brother?" Dian Wei asked, puzzled.
Lu Li shook his head and explained, "With your senior brother's abilities, he doesn't need me by his side to help him anymore. What I can do is help him secretly eliminate all potential threats!"
"So that's how it is!" Dian Wei suddenly realized.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly noticed a problem.
Even the simpleton Dian Wei figured it out, so how could Liu Bei not?
"What is Liu Bei thinking?" Lu Li frowned slightly, lost in thought.
If he guessed it but didn't expose himself, it shows that this person is extremely shrewd.
However, Liu Bei was unaware of his strength, and Lu Li had never made a move in front of Liu Bei. Even though Guan Yu had mentioned it, as the saying goes, seeing is believing.
“Master, Liu Bei and the others shouldn’t have guessed it.” Dian Wei seemed to have seen through Lu Li’s thoughts and patted his chest to assure him.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Lu Li asked in surprise.
"If he figures it out, he'll definitely tell Yun Chang. This guy is currently relying on Zhang Fei and Yun Chang!"
Dian Wei snorted coldly and said, "Actually, I saw it long ago: Liu Bei is a hypocrite, a complete scoundrel!"
Lu Li frowned and said, "You can't say things like that carelessly. He's your junior brother's older brother."
"Tch, I don't like him anyway, I don't like people like that," Dian Wei said without hesitation.
Lu Li sighed helplessly, shook his head, and asked with a smile, "Then what do you think of Cao Cao?"
Upon hearing Cao Cao's words, Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "Cao Mengde is indeed a cunning man, but he is also quite generous and treats us very well."
Indeed, there was a bond between Dian Wei and Cao Cao.
Even though he himself appeared and changed the course of Dian Wei's fate, he still had a good impression of Cao Cao, otherwise he would not have praised Cao Cao.
However, Lu Li always maintained a degree of wariness towards Cao Cao.
This emotion stemmed from his heart, because even though he came from a later era and had a deep understanding of the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he still couldn't see through Cao Cao.
If you call him a loyal minister, he held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, and all he did were rebellious acts.
If you call him a treacherous minister, he fought his entire life, but never usurped the Han throne until his death.
At that time, Cao Cao already had the power to usurp the Han throne, but he remained a Han subject until his death and never plotted to seize power.
Lu Li always felt that this kind of person was too complicated and too dangerous!
"Tiezhu, your master has arranged something for you," Lu Li said to Dian Wei, composing himself.
Dian Wei was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
