As soon as Cao Ren heard it, he immediately understood what Guo Huai meant. This Guo Huai's meaning is too simple, that is, he is saying to himself, how is this Huang Xu, it is not very powerful, but it is the same as holding Xiangnan for a few days. But Huang Zhong is not only his father, but also the general of the Liangzhou Army, and he is deeply valued by Ma Mengqi, think about it, otherwise, how can he let his people guard in Changsha? This Changsha County can definitely be regarded as a county that Ma Chao values.

After all, this place can be said to be indeed more important, not only with Sun Ce Jiangdong in the east, Jiangxia in the northeast, Nanjun in the northwest, Guiyang in the southeast, Lingling in the southwest, and Wuling in the south. There are only a few counties in Jingzhou, so it shows the importance of Changsha. Changsha and these counties are all adjacent, and they are all next to each other.

Otherwise, why did Cao Ren and Lu Su come here, they also knew the importance of Changsha, and they also knew that Ma Chao valued it. Therefore, in such a county, is it possible that Ma Chao will not send a general to garrison it, because if he loses a Changsha, the impact on them in Jingzhou is self-evident-

After Cao Ren listened to Guo Huai's words, of course he was unwilling, so at this time he asked: "Boji, does this mean that our army attacks Linxiang, as long as we take this city, it is equivalent to taking the whole of Changsha, isn't this good?" ”

When Guo Huai heard this, he said in his heart, of course this is good, but if you really can't take it, or the gains outweigh the losses in the end, what should you do? And looking at Lu Zijing like that, it is obvious that he will not go on this troubled water with us. He's shrewd. That is, you, the general, you still can't see through this, you are just fascinated by the little interests in front of you, if this is really if our army attacks Linxiang, then the consequences. It's definitely not going to be good!

However, Guo Huai definitely can't say this, but he can still say anything else, so he said to Cao Ren at this time: "The general's words are actually not unreasonable, but I don't know if the general has thought about it." Now that only our army is going to attack Linxiang, how sure is it that we can take this city in a short period of time? If it really delays time, the general doesn't know the situation of our army! ”――

Guo Huai: He is indeed in a hurry. Or does he have to be anxious, what is the situation of his own side now, can Cao Ren still not know?

When Cao Ren heard this, he knew that what Guo Huai meant was that he was already short of grain and grass now, so if it was a fierce battle, then it would be under Linxiang City. Definitely not. So even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Lu Su and their Jiangdong Army can help you. But if he doesn't want some benefits from his side, then with Lu Su's character of "don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle", it would be strange if he could help himself.

If it was because of Xiangnan last time, he didn't say much, but this time, even if he didn't unite with his own side to enter Linxiang. But if you want them to help you, he Lu Su will still help. But it is a big price to pay. There has never been a shortage of people in this world who take advantage of the fire to rob, and he is Lu Su Lu Zijing. In Cao Ren's eyes, he is really that kind of person. Of course, this can't all be blamed on Cao Ren for thinking like this, the main thing is the impression that Lu Su gave him, that's it.

So don't say it, Guo Huai's words, that really made Cao Ren shake a lot, and he didn't have much confidence-

After Cao Ren listened to Guo Huai's admonition, he really had nothing to say for a while, and Lu Su, who was not far away, said in his heart at this time, Okay, this Guo Huai does have two times, and these few words have reached the most critical place. This made Cao Ren speechless, of course, it poked at his soft underbelly. And for these, Lu Su still doesn't know. But he also knows that if he says these things himself, then he may not be the same as Guo Huai, and maybe there will be some backlash in the end, which is not impossible.

But when these words came out of Guo Huai's mouth, it was different. Indeed, the same words, spoken from different mouths, do not result exactly the same. If it was really Lu Su who said it, maybe Cao Ren would think that this was because Lu Su looked down on him and the Yanzhou army, and as a result, it might not be what it really was.

And because the two sides are allies now, Lu Su will certainly not give up when he can persuade Cao Ren. If there are not so many things at this time, it is not that Liu Bei is going to be destroyed, and it is not that the two sides are going to deal with the Liangzhou army together, to be honest, Lu Su is too lazy to take care of Cao Ren and the Yanzhou army. Isn't it, this consumption of the Yanzhou army is a good thing for them-

So the current situation determines Lu Su's attitude, and at this time, he really has to do this. Otherwise, Lu Su wouldn't have bothered with that matter. He knew that he might not be able to persuade Cao Ren, so when he heard that Guo Huai was coming, he was indeed relieved in his heart, knowing that there was no problem in this matter. If you can't persuade yourself, others may not be able to do it, especially Guo Huai's ability and his identity.

Cao Ren glanced at Lu Su at this time, and found that he was expressionless, and he was also listening to Guo Huai's words there, and he really couldn't see what he thought. At this time, he asked Lu Su: "Mr. Zijing, if our army borrows some grain and grass from your army, I wonder if Mr. can agree?" ”

When Lu Su heard this, he smiled in his heart, but he said: "If General Cao is going to attack Linxiang, then please forgive me for not agreeing!" Except for this, everything else is easy to say! ”

Lu Su means that if you fight for a long time in Linxiang, then I'm sorry, I won't lend you grain and grass. But if it weren't. Then you can-

When Cao Ren heard this, he didn't laugh twice, he didn't expect that Lu Su would say this. After all, he had always thought that as long as he talked about borrowing food. So although he Lu Zijing may not open his mouth widely, it is estimated that it is about the same. As for whether he is going to attack Linxiang or other places, he probably doesn't care. But this is actually different from what I think, which makes me what to say.

And Cao Ren and Lu Su talked, Guo Huai just listened, but he didn't say a word. For him. Of course, he knew what Lu Su meant, and he knew that because he was now a great enemy, it was not an exaggeration for him to say that he Jiangdong Army was "wearing a pair of pants". It is said that "one wins, one loses", but in fact, this is really the case. Therefore, he Lu Zijing understands people, and naturally knows how to do it. So for this, Guo Huai is really relieved.

said that if their side is really defeated, it will not do much good to their Jiangdong Army, and it will definitely do more harm than good. So he, Lu Su, will do that detrimental thing to others?

At this time, Cao Ren could see through it, and it was impossible for Lu Su to support himself to attack Linxiang. Therefore, as long as he attacks Linxiang by himself, it is not only his Jiangdong Army that cannot be with him. Even the grain and grass, he Lu Zijing can knock on the opportunity to knock on the bamboo, he doesn't want it! This really made Cao Ren feel hopeless, this Lu Su did this, didn't he just think that he couldn't do it.

Speaking of Cao Ren, he is definitely not an arrogant person. Anyone who knows him well knows it. But he cares a lot about the trust that others have in him. Plainly. It's important whether others believe him or not.

Speaking of which, don't care about Cao Cao. At least he has always believed in Cao Ren, so Cao Ren does have an impulse to "die for his confidant" to his father-in-law. For Cao Ren, his lord is not only his own lord, not only his own brother, but also a confidant, because Cao Cao's unconditional trust in himself has to move Cao Ren. Cao Ren also knows what it means to be "a rare confidant in life", in fact, that's what it is-

Lu Su smiled secretly in his heart at this time, he said in his heart, this critical time has come, as long as he works harder, then Cao Ren can be persuaded by Guo Huai. As long as he doesn't insist on marching into Linxiang, then other places, whatever! If you want food, you can borrow food from him, it's not a big deal at all, and I don't want to give up this great opportunity to rip off bamboo!

So without waiting for Cao Ren and Guo Huai to say anything, Lu Su said a little embarrassed at this time: "General Cao, you came to me today, but we couldn't reach an agreement, it's a pity!" ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, what did he say? What do you mean by Lu Zijing, are you going to send off guests?

The result was true, Lu Su said to Cao Ren again at this time: "General Cao, General Guo, although the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement, but as the saying goes, this 'business does not become benevolent and righteous', I will not keep two more today!" ”

Cao Ren heard the words and said Sure enough, this Lu Zijing is going to send off guests, knowing that he is going to enter Linxiang, he does not agree, and in the end he can only lead his troops to attack Linxiang? ――

This Lu Su's words definitely made Cao Ren particularly aggrieved, and his feeling was like eating a fly in current words, of course, Cao Ren at this time, if you really want to describe him, it is actually like eating dozens of flies.

At this moment, he really wanted to leave, pulled his face down directly, and then snorted coldly and walked away. But he also knew he couldn't do that. Speaking of which, he came here today, the only request, Lu Su didn't agree, this is no longer a matter of face, Cao Ren felt too aggrieved. But looking at Lu Su like this, it seems that he has no way to persuade him, and Guo Huai actually stood on the other side.

Cao Ren said calmly to Lu Su at this time: "Sir, let me calm down here, okay?" ”

Lu Su nodded slightly, "Why not!" ”

Cao Ren didn't say much, but he had already closed his eyes at this time. To say that Cao Ren is definitely a person with more self-control, but today's incident, what he said hasn't made him attack all at once, but if he goes on like this, it's going on soon-

So he still doesn't know, he should calm down now, that impulse is not good. And after seeing his general close his eyes, Guo Huai nodded slightly to Lu Su, which meant thanking him. And Lu Su also nodded at Guo Huai, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

In fact, Cao Ren's thoughts are not difficult to think, but now he still has a trace of luck in his heart, but after a while, he opened his eyes and asked Guo Huai directly: "Boji thinks that if our army and the Jiangdong army jointly attack Linxiang, how sure will we be able to break the city in the end?" ”

Guo Huai said: "There are still five or six points to grasp, but even if the city is broken, it may not be worth the loss in the end!" ”

Cao Ren didn't have any expression, but asked again; "Then how sure is it that our army will attack alone?"

"Less than four points!"

When Cao Ren heard this, it was too little, and this really shouldn't be attacked again-

As for other aspects, there is not much to say about grain and grass, so Cao Ren finally glanced at Lu Su, "Mr. Zijing, you won, Linxiang, I won't attack!" ”

Lu Su smiled at this time, "It's really best that General Cao can think like this!" ”

"So what Mr. said before is all counting?"

"Naturally!"

"Hahaha!" "Hahahaha!" (To be continued)
