Time flies by in a hurry, and who can really grasp every minute of time in their hands?

This time may be very laid-back and relaxing for others.

But for Guo Yan and Li Wei, during this time, they wandered around the ghost door every day.

Maybe if you don't pay attention to it, you will really take that step, but under the strong instinct of survival.

The two of them still stubbornly held on, and the wet cotton cloth covered their faces longer and longer, and the thickness became thicker and thicker.

It's because of the thinning of their hair, which frees them from the sore spots of their scalp...

But despite this, the two are still very uncomfortable, but under the ruthless polishing of life.

The two seem to have gradually gotten used to this kind of life, and they began to stop struggling but silently endure this terrible criminal law...

Soon, when Guo Yan and the others were suffering, Cao Cao also came to Bishui Pass with a troop.

Looking at the nearly 10,000 troops below, Xu Rong stood on the top of the city and frowned secretly.

However, Li Ru didn't care at all, just looked at the troops below.

"What's on General Xu's mind?"

Li Ru looked at Xu Rong, who was looking at Xu Rong with a worried face, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Strategist, you see that Cao Cao only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, but we have tens of thousands of troops in Bishui Pass, so Cao Cao is not afraid that we will take the opportunity to give..."

Xu Rong compared with his hand on his neck as he spoke, and the meaning was very clear.

"General Xu means that this is really unreasonable, could Cao Cao have some conspiracy..."

Li Ru said with a smile on his face, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Actually, General Xu doesn't have to worry about these at all, you must know that Cao Cao is preparing to take us in this trip, so he will naturally show his sincerity!"

"But the military advisor, then Cao Cao is not afraid that we will kill the killer? When the time comes, if he dies, Si Li will fall into our hands again..."

Xu Rong was still very puzzled after hearing Li Ru's words.

Even if you are showing your sincerity, you have to ensure your own safety!

Like Cao Cao, he is completely using his life to complete a big gamble, and if he wins the bet, his strength will be greatly increased, and his future will be bright.

But losing the bet will cost a huge amount, most likely his life...

"What General Xu said is that this is indeed an opportunity for us in Xiliang, but it is also a severe test for our Xiliang."

Li Ru nodded slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes!

"This trip Cao Cao seems to be risky, but it is not, then Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are all cavalry, General Xu should know that the smaller the number of cavalry, the easier it is to escape!"

After hearing Li Ru's words, Xu Rong nodded slightly, what Li Ru said was not wrong.

If there are too many cavalry, it will indeed involve the speed of travel, after all, all horses are not the same.

Being in the middle of the army in order not to be too chaotic in formation, there will inevitably be fast horses to make trade-offs.

Even carefully selected horses are unable to maintain the same speed, which is particularly prominent in the case of numbers.

And there are some terrains that can also limit the large number of cavalry.

However, this will not be the case with a small number of cavalry, although it will lose a certain amount of attack and defense.

But the mobility and the elite of the horses will have a great deal

Ascension, for example, Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong is a prime example.

As a cavalryman, you can still pick the color of those horses, which is one of the benefits of those small number of cavalry...

"These thousands of cavalry seem to be rarer than our army, but if there are more troops, they will not be able to catch up, but if they are less, they may not be able to fight, this is Cao Cao's strategy!"

Li Ru looked at the silent Xu Rong and said slowly.

"And didn't General Xu hear about it some time ago? Cao Cao once sent a part of the elite troops to attack Xianbei on the grassland, and according to our army's spies, there were not only Cao Cao's troops on the grassland."

"And Youzhou Qin Feng's troops! And 100,000 people! ”

After hearing Li Ru's words, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a stir, and his eyes were full of fear.

How did I forget this stubble, if the news is really true.

I'm afraid that Cao Cao's artistic conception and Qin Feng have formed an alliance or completed some deal.

If he and others rashly attacked Cao Cao, it was very likely that Qin Feng from Youzhou would be involved.

When the time comes, will your army be able to resist the might of the world's largest army?

Li Ru looked at Xu Rong who was in a cold sweat, and knew in his heart that Xu Rong had figured it out.

I saw Li Ru gently patting Xu Rong's shoulder and then whispering.

"I'm also bothering General Xu, you send someone to contact Cao Cao to meet at Guanxia in an hour, and get some wine and food by the way, don't fall into the etiquette of our landlord..."

"We also have to think of a way back for these soldiers..."

This was the last sentence Xu Rong heard, when Xu Rong reacted.

Li Ru's figure had already disappeared a long time ago, and he was only told by Cao Cao's army, which was constantly busy.

None of this is a dream...

Soon, under Xu Rong's arrangement, a square table was set up under Bishui Guan, which was full of food and wine.

If you don't know what's going on, you'll probably think it's going to be a party.

Xu Rong and Li Ru sat in their places early, looking at Cao Cao's army in the distance and slightly distracted.

Cao Cao didn't let the two of them wait long, and after a while, he hurriedly came to the dining table with Xiahoudun.

Maybe it's because of a tacit understanding, neither Li Ru nor Cao Cao brought many soldiers, only ten people stood behind to support the scene...

"General Cao hasn't been seen for some days since he said goodbye to Luoyang last time, and it's okay to see General Cao's appearance recently!"

After watching Cao Cao's arrival, Li Ru got up and said slowly to Cao Cao.

"Master Li, don't you still look pale? You and I are also old friends, so why should we care about these rituals? ”

Cao Cao sat down opposite Li Ru with a big grin and said slowly.

"Why don't you call me Meng De by Junshi Li, and how about I call Junshi Wenyou?"

Li Ru saw that Cao Cao was so familiar, and he didn't react much.

Maybe that's still a good thing for him...

"In that case, you're welcome, and I'm also invited Brother Meng De to taste our Xiliang wine!"

Li Ru said as he picked up the wine jug in his hand and handed it over to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the clear wine in the cup, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Those who march must not drink, or they will miss a big thing!"

Cao Cao didn't drink the wine after taking the wine from Li Ru's hand, but said quite seriously.

Li Ru saw Cao Cao like this

Straightforward didn't say much, but drank himself after he got a glass.

Seeing this, Cao Cao still didn't move the wine in front of him, just silently watched Li Ru continue to drink the wine.

Xu Rong looked at Cao Cao from the side and frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that Cao Cao was so faceless.

If Cao Cao suspected that the wine was poisonous, it would have been forgotten, but now Li Ru has drunk so many glasses.

Cao Cao still doesn't have the idea of drinking, which is a little too stingy...

"Brother Meng De is strict in governing the army, but you are a little negligent..."

Li Ru said lightly after drinking a few glasses of wine, without a trace of anger on his face.

It seems that Cao Cao didn't give himself face...

"Brother Wen You doesn't need to mind, this is the experience that General Qin taught me, it's better to drink less when you're in the army..."

After Cao Cao heard Li Ru's words, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

It didn't seem to notice Li Ru's contempt.

An atmosphere of silence began to slowly drift between the two of them...

"Ahem... I wonder if Brother Wen You is satisfied with the gift I gave? ”

An hour later, the silence was finally broken in Cao Cao's hands.

He doesn't have much time to spend with Li Ru now, and it doesn't matter if Xiliang is unwilling to surrender.

I believe that after a period of time, once my strength recovers, the Ma family in Jincheng will attack left and right.

Even Li Ru has to drink a good pot...

"I am very satisfied with the gift, I can promise Brother Meng De what I said before, but I have one condition that I hope Brother Meng De will agree..."

Li Ru immediately heard the subtext in Cao Cao's words, and did not continue to mix.

On the contrary, I admitted it very bluntly, it has come to this point, even if it is to pretend to be crazy and stupid, there is no point...

"I don't know what Brother Wen You wants, but it's okay to mention it! As long as I, Cao Mengde, can do it, I will definitely satisfy Brother Wen You..."

Cao Cao saw that Li Ru admitted it so simply, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he still replied very seriously.

"It's very simple, it's just a gesture for Brother Meng De!"

Li Ru said with a smile on his face, "That is to save the life of my lord's son, if Brother Meng De is afraid, he can be placed under house arrest in Luoyang!" Just save his life..."

"This..."Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate a little after hearing Li Ru's words, after all, Dong Zhuo's son can be regarded as a bandit, and he still has a grudge against him for killing his father.

Just let it go, I'm afraid it will inevitably change suddenly in the future...

"Good! I promise you this, but I have a question that Brother Wen You needs to solve for me! ”

Under Li Ru's gaze, Cao Cao finally agreed to Li Ru's request.

As long as he takes strict care of Dong Zhuo's son, there must be no big problem...

"I don't know what Brother Meng De has any doubts, I will definitely solve Brother Meng De's doubts!"

After Li Ru heard Cao Cao's words, his heart couldn't help but feel relieved, what he was most afraid of was that Cao Cao was unwilling to protect the Dong family.

"I wonder why you don't make yourself kings!"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said lightly.

The atmosphere that had been finally eased down was once again reduced to freezing.

Xu Rong and Xiahoudun couldn't help but be secretly on guard, lest the other party suddenly make a move.

"Because whether it's me, General Hua, or the Dong family, we don't have the qualifications of a master..."
