Chapter 26: Liu Bowen's Teachings
"General Lu, are you threatening the general?" Sure enough, after listening to Lu Rui's words, Zhang Jiao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and said loudly to Lu Rui, looking at the murderous aura revealed in the corners of Zhang Jiao's eyes, it was obvious that Lu Rui's words just now not only angered Zhang Jiao, but also made Zhang Jiao have murderous intent. Fortunately, Zhang Jiao's joy points had been obtained in advance at the beginning, otherwise Lu Rui would not have doubted that Zhang Jiao's hatred points would be harvested now.
"The marshal is angry, although the words of the last general are not good, but as the saying goes, loyalty is good for deeds, and please think carefully about what the last general said, what to do, and ask the marshal to think twice before acting!" Lu Rui didn't mind what Zhang Jiao's tone was about him, and said directly to Zhang Jiao.
"You ......" Zhang Jiao was extremely angry at Lu Rui's attitude, and originally wanted to explode again, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed again, looked at Lu Rui, didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said to Lu Rui: "Okay, okay, just do what you say!" You return to the Han army camp now, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and in seven days, you will meet in the woods outside the city, and strive to take Lu Zhi's army in one go. ”
"Thank you Marshal, please rest assured that the last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the marshal, and the rest will be handed over to the last general!" After Lu Rui arched his hand to Zhang Jiao, he didn't say a word of nonsense and directly withdrew from Zhang Jiao's camp.
After Lu Rui left, a few people came out from behind the screen behind Zhang Jiao, it was a few of Zhang Jiao's cronies before, after seeing them come out, Zhang Jiao didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly: "Do you think this Lu Rui is trustworthy?" ”
"Please also forgive the last general, marshal, although General Lu's words just now offended the marshal, but it is not a mouthful of words, although he just collided with the marshal, but it also shows that he has not given up on his brothers who have depended on each other in life and death, even if he risks being executed by the marshal, he still wants to return to the Han army camp to take his brother over, this kind of righteous person is definitely not a villain who will be treacherous, I think it is also because of the lack of harvest at home, I had to join Lu Zhi's army and eat a mouthful of food, because I heard the purpose of our Taiping Sect to defect from the Han army and cut off Lu Zhi's head to come to the marshal, definitely not because I was afraid of the momentum of our Taiping Sect to be timid, so the last general thought that this person was completely trustworthy. The cronie said to Zhang Jiao.
"Well, what you said is also somewhat reasonable, but I still feel a little uneasy, I checked it just now, this head is indeed Lu Zhi's, he has fought with me for so long, even if he turns into ashes, I can recognize it, presumably no one in the world can easily tolerate a person's face to such a point, so that the Han army can be said to be with him, so that this seat can also rest assured that he will not rebel against this seat, because he is a smart person, Naturally, he knew that now there was no one who could save him except this seat. Zhang Jiao said to himself.
"Although what the marshal said is true, but you must know that this is a big adventure, a little carelessness may be buried in all of us, according to the style of the court today, even in order to achieve the goal of exterminating our army, it is not impossible to sacrifice Lu Zhi, an old thing who has half a foot in the coffin, so it is necessary to guard against people, and it is better to be careful to build it according to the end." Another cronie said to Zhang Jiao.
"Well, there is some truth in what you said, indeed, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, in the final analysis, we still have too little contact with Lu Rui, and we can't accurately grasp this person's inner thoughts, so let's do it! You are arranging for some people to go over, looking for an opportunity to get close to the Han army camp, always keeping an eye on the movements of the Han army, and reporting to me at any time if there is any problem. Zhang Jiao thought for a while and said to this cronie.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Rui had returned to the Han army camp, and at this time, he was talking to Lu Zhi in Lu Zhi's camp.
"Hehe, General Lu did a good job this time, it seems that the old man I am going to disappear for a while, the next thing will be handed over to General Lu, I have handed over my elite troops to General Lu, although the number of this army is not large, but all of them are elite soldiers in a million, and it is also the biggest hole card under my hand, in order to cooperate with General Lu's plan, this time I have already handed over the means to General Lu, and how to arrange it depends on General Lu, This army is the trump card among the trump cards of our army, and General Lu must not make any mistakes, otherwise this loss will be great for our army. Lu Zhi said very solemnly to Lu Rui.
"Don't worry, Marshal, with this team in my hands, I will never disgrace you, Marshal, you are also a vital link in the next plan, that is, you and your brothers will be wronged in the next seven days, and please don't be strange to the marshal." Lu Rui said to Lu Zhi.
"Haha, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I can wipe out those yellow turban thieves, what is it for my old bones to suffer some losses, General Lu just let it go, I don't have to worry about General Lu on my side, I will definitely assist General Lu to do the best." Lu Zhi said to Lu Rui.
"So there is Marshal Lao over there, now is an extraordinary period, the last general will no longer disturb the marshal too much, and the last general will retire first." After Lu Rui finished speaking, he withdrew from Lu Zhi's camp.
After Lu Rui returned to his camp, Qin Qiong and Pei Yuanqing had already fallen asleep, but Liu Bowen was still sitting there, always waiting for Lu Rui to come back, and sure enough, when Liu Bowen saw it, he immediately got up and walked over to Lu Rui and said, "How about Xiao Rui, you are not injured!" ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, although there was some unpleasantness on Zhang Jiao's side, but in general, the effect is not bad, at least it has achieved the expected effect I need, and then it is time to see what we do, what we have to do in the next seven days will not be so simple, it is not so easy to appease the soldiers, and it is necessary to prevent the riots of some well-intentioned people, but fortunately, the marshal has handed over his personal elite to me, and it is not difficult to scare those guys, I just hope that it will not be too bloody at that time." Lu Rui said to Liu Bowen.
"Well, the virtuous nephew has really grown up and learned to think about problems on his own, but my uncle still has to tell you something, although you have thought about a lot of things now, but you have not thought comprehensively, for the art of war, thinking about problems but not very comprehensive is a big taboo." Liu Bowen said to Lu Rui.
"My nephew doesn't understand, so I ask my uncle for advice." Lu Rui didn't have too much nonsense when he heard this, and said directly to Liu Bowen very respectfully, at this time, the importance of the strategist is revealed, in order to prove that Lu Rui's hatred points are not in vain, at this time, Liu Bowen needs to solve many incurable diseases for Lu Rui.
"You must know that everything has two sides, you must do both sides to achieve great things, although the virtuous nephew did not say a few words to his uncle just now, but the words are all only about what to do to deal with those with ulterior motives, but I don't know if the virtuous nephew has considered it, although there are people with ulterior motives in the barracks, but loyal ministers also have, since the virtuous nephew has thought about suppressing those people with ulterior motives, why didn't he think about recruiting those soldiers who are loyal to the Han court?" Speaking of this, Lu Rui already had a feeling of sudden realization.
"Although the virtuous nephew now has the elite trained by the marshal himself, but the number is limited after all, and if you want to rely on such a limited number of people to suppress those who have an army of 10,000 people, it may be possible in a short period of time, but it is definitely not a long-term solution, so why can't the virtuous nephew consider finding those who have a great guarantee of loyalty in this situation, they also have an army of 10,000 people, and with their assistance, your pressure will inevitably be shared a lot, And it also avoided a lot of unnecessary bloodshed. After a pause, Liu Bowen continued to say to Lu Rui.
"Uncle means that you want me to recruit those soldiers whose loyalty can definitely be guaranteed, and tell them the plan before and after, so that they can also assist me in completing the plan to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army?" Lu Rui said to Liu Bowen.
"You don't have to tell the truth, you can't tell the truth to those people at this time, although it is unlikely that these people will betray the marshal, but it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so you must not tell them the truth, in fact, the virtuous nephew can do nothing now, you must know that the people who are truly loyal to the Han court from the inside out will definitely take obedience to orders as their duty, presumably the marshal left something as his token when he left! As long as you give this token to those people tomorrow to see who is loyal and who is traitor, you can try to delegate some tasks to those you trust, and let them help you complete the next few things. Liu Bowen said to Lu Rui.
