“…… Like this time to transport grain to Guandu, the people mobilized are already old and weak. ”

In order to be able to say such a big thing to Cao Cao, Lu Ren had done his homework before, and it should be said that he had analyzed Cao Cao's disadvantages and disadvantages as much as possible.

And after a slight pause, Lu Ren continued: "And when you are in the next place, this is also the heart of inviting merit, the previous time Sun Ce attacked Xuzhou and was forced to retreat by being injured in the next." However, when I mention this matter now, I just want to say that Sun Ce also has the intention of attacking Xu Du. But Cao Gong, you are lucky, Sun Ce was first wounded by me, and when he returned to Jiangdong to recuperate, he was killed by assassins.

Now his younger brother Sun Quan has succeeded him, and he is on good terms with Cao Gong, so that Cao Gong's two Huai lines are temporarily worry-free. But I think Cao Gong also knows that the temporary worrying of the two Huai lines is not because Sun Quan did it unintentionally, but because Sun Ce's death made the situation in Jiangdong uneasy, and Sun Quan had to make every effort to stabilize Jiangdong.

"Next, although the Jiangdong Sun clan doesn't have to worry about anything for a while, there must be people like Sun Ce who want to take advantage of the confrontation between Cao Gong and Yuan Shao, and like Jingxiang Liu Biao, they must be guarded against. Lao Guo's guy once said that Liu Biao is a clear talker and has no ambitions, although this is good, but if Liu Biao is really moved by a person who can speak one day......"

At this point, Lu Ren stopped, and Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then nodded lightly: "Yihao is reasonable!" In fact, how can you not know these things in your lonely heart? It's just that Yihao, you also know that the army strength of Lone gathered in Guandu was less than 30,000, but there were 150,000 people at the beginning, five times more than Lone! Such a strong enemy...... Didn't you just say that? It is not easy for a lone person to be able to hold the official crossing without losing, and to be able to fight evenly with the beginning. Lone is now holding on to Guandu for the time being, so that the original army cannot enter, in order to wait for the opportunity to break the accident in one fell swoop. And before that. If Lone is not careful in the use of troops and careful in his work, if he does something wrong, Lone will definitely be defeated. ”

"Wait for the right time?"

This word made Lu Ren suddenly realize, and he patted himself on the head a few times in self-deprecation, and then said with a straight face: "I remembered what I wanted to say just now!" Cao Gong is now guarding Guandu, in order to wait for the warplane. Actually, I've already guessed it. I just want to tell Cao Gong that although the fighter plane should wait for it to appear, we should also try to create the fighter plane ourselves and win the initiative on the battlefield. If you insist on staying here, then the opportunity is in Yuan, and Cao Gong, you will be too passive. ”

"Create fighters?"

This term is still a bit new to Cao Cao, but it is easy to understand. Nodding lightly and smiling slightly, Cao Cao asked, "Then according to Yi Hao's opinion, how should this fighter be created?" ”

Lu Ren didn't know how much he wanted at the moment, and told Cao Cao bluntly that he would go to Wuchao to burn grain. But Cao Cao's bland reaction before made Lu Ren vaguely feel that he must not do this. Mainly because Cao Cao is suspicious, if he says it directly, it seems that he lacks some pre-requisites that can convince Cao Cao.

In fact, in the original history, Cao Cao adopted Xu You's suggestion to go to Wuchao to burn grain, which more or less made people feel a little bit of life and death gambling. At that time, Cao Cao's troops were not much, and there was only one month of food and grass left, and if he didn't find a way to change the situation, it would only be a dead end. Since it's all death, it's better to gamble happily. If you lose the bet, you will die anyway, but if you win the bet, you can have a complete salted fish turnover. So Cao Cao at that time can be said to have gambled without the slightest hesitation.

But the current situation is that there is enough food and grass for Cao Cao to support, which means that Cao Cao does not seem to have reached the point where he has to gamble. In this case, it is relatively normal that Cao Cao's mentality will be different from the original history. It is precisely because of this that Lu Ren just said that the supply of troops is insufficient, in fact, Lu Ren has considered these in advance, so when preparing his speech, he wanted Cao Cao to enter the state where he felt that he had to gamble a lot.

And at this very moment. Lu Ren also felt that he had to go around the bend to say it. In addition, there is a very important one, whether a large amount of grain from Yuan Shao's side has been delivered to Wuchao is also a matter of two words. After all, it is only in mid-August, and Yuan Shao's side has calculated the time and distance of mobilizing grain and grass, and it will take about October to complete the delivery of a large amount of grain and grass to Guandu.

So Lu Ren lowered his head and thought carefully about the words he had prepared in advance, and then raised his head and said to Cao Cao: "When I was studying art, my master once said such things to me. Speak of all things in heaven and earth. All have their most lethal points, and coincidentally, the strongest point of all things in heaven and earth is often its weakest point. For example, the hardest bones on the human body are the skull, but the most injurious is the skull, which is protected by the skull......"

Cao Cao was happy when he heard it: "Yihao, what kind of metaphor are you?" But when you think about it, it seems to make sense. By the way, since you have mentioned that Lingshi, Gu also expects that Lingshi must be a master of the world, and it will be a blessing if Gu can be visited in this life. Let's not mention that. Yi Hao said this, so what do you think is the strongest point in the beginning? ”

Lu Ren said: "There are many people and the army is prosperous, this is the strongest point of Yuan Benchu. So I wondered what was the weakest point that echoed this strongest point. I first thought that if there are too many people, there should be a lot of distraction, and it should be easy to divide ......"

Cao Cao picked up and said, "This is not a weakness. It is true that there are many people with mixed hearts, but with the original prestige, these distracting hearts can be completely suppressed. Moreover, there is a cloud in the art of war, and if you want to do it, you must first lure it with profit, so that the people who want it will have the idea of profit before you can succeed. And the original strength is strong, the lonely situation is weak, and there is no attractive advantage. To put it mildly, the original relationship between the people under the lonely command was almost the same. ”

Lu Ren smiled, and then said just now: "I think so too." Later, after thinking about it, Zai Xia suddenly remembered some things that happened when Xia had just defected to Cao Gong's command. I remember that at that time, Cao Gong and Lu Bu fought against each other, and later a locust plague caused Cao Gong and Lu Bu to withdraw their troops......"

Although he didn't finish speaking, Cao Cao had already laughed: "What Yihao means by saying is that he wants to put a knife on the grain road of the original brother Lonely?" ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Yes, this is the weakest point of Yuan Benchu's strongest place. The daily consumption of grain and grass for 150,000 horses is extremely high, if he can burn the grain and grass accumulated by Yuan Benchu in one fell swoop, even if Cao Gong is exhausted and can no longer take advantage of the situation to attack, the grain and grass needed by 150,000 horses will not be able to be transported in ten days and half months. If the army has no food, the army's spirit will be chaotic, and chaos will change. Change gives Cao Gong a chance. ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, stood up and put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth here. And Lu Ren couldn't bother Cao Cao anymore when he saw Cao Cao like this, so he could only wait quietly for Cao Cao to think by himself.

After watching Cao Cao pacing back and forth for a while, he suddenly turned his head to Lu Ren and said, "Yihao, it's not that I haven't thought about it. But Gu Su knew the beginning, and he was also familiar with the art of war, how could he not protect food with heavy troops? There are few lonely troops, and if you send more troops, you will not be able to protect the official crossing, and if you send fewer troops, it will not be enough. ”

Lu Renxin said that he had finally completely led the words to my prepared thoughts, so he smiled unhurriedly: "Cao Gongke still remembers how Xun Wenruo laughed and scolded Kong Wenju before the army was about to start?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Of course I remember." ”

"What did Xun Wen say in that first sentence?"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and recalled: "There are many Shao soldiers and they are not organized. ”

Lu Ren said: "Xun Wenruo said that Yuan Benchu had many soldiers and was not in order, and Cao Gong, you yourself once said that Yuan Benchu had many soldiers and the division was unclear. will be arrogant and the decrees are inconsistent. Imagine that Cao Gong, you have been stubbornly defending this place for several months, and you have not dared to go out lightly because of the small number of soldiers, and those who are not in this frontline of the Yuan army must think that Cao Gong does not dare to make danger and neglect to take precautions, and the land where the grain is stored may be guarded by heavy troops, but it will be sparse and unprepared. If Cao Gong can rush to it with thousands of elite divisions and fight desperately, it may not be impossible to burn his grain and grass. The key point is that Lu Ren thinks that it is Cao Gong, you don't dare to gamble on this. ”

Cao Cao Qi said: "Bet? ”

Lu Ren said: "Yes, it's a gamble." And it's a big gamble that costs your life. In fact, Ming Gong has no way to retreat, and he is dead. It's better to just have a fight. ”

Cao Cao tightened his eyebrows again, and asked in a deep voice, "Yihao, why does Lone feel that you are pushing Lone on the road to despair?" ”

Lu Ren responded calmly: "Gong Cao, you are already in a dead end, why do you need me to push?" It's just that Cao Gong, you still know a little less self-awareness. Or ...... It's Cao Gong, you know it in your heart, but because it's too dangerous, you don't think about it. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao paced a few more laps before saying, "Yihao." Your plan is extremely dangerous, but for some reason Lone is willing to do this risky plan. In Yihao's opinion, what should be done now? ”

"Select some elite soldiers and secretly go to the places around Yuan's camp to investigate. The Yuan army camp was here, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to come to the place where you will store food, it will never be too far away. It's a pity that I don't know anything about the military, otherwise I can try to imagine where it is more suitable to store grain and grass. ”

At this moment, Lu Ren really wanted to say the word "black nest", but after thinking about it, he finally endured it. One is that he can't be too "clever", "wise and close to demons"; The second is that the current situation has changed, and it is really uncertain whether Yuan Shao will store the grain and grass in Wuchao Luren as in history, and the third is that it is still early, and Yuan Shao's grain and grass this year must not have been sent to the main storage point. But then again, Yuan Shao has to transport the grain and grass of the 150,000 army, and the movement must be small, so now let Cao Cao send out the spies to do something, isn't the time just right?

Looking at Cao Cao pacing a few more laps, he finally nodded slightly. Turning around and looking at Lu Ren, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Yihao, how is your right arm?" ”

Lu Ren glanced at his tied right arm, shook his head casually, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that you don't feel conscious, and you should be able to act as usual in two days." ”

Cao Cao said: "That being the case, Yihao should go back to the tent first to rest." After the recovery of his right arm, he returned to Xudu as soon as possible, and urged all things of food and grass for the sake of loneliness, so as not to make it short. ”

As soon as Lu Ren heard this, he stood up and said hurriedly: "Let me stay in Guandu!" I believe that with the wisdom of Ming Gong, we will be able to make good plans as soon as possible, and defeat the enemy and win only in the morning and night......"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and the sword body was on Lu Ren's neck in just an instant, and Cao Cao's expression and tone at the moment were extremely cold: "Yihao, you are so anxious to make this risky plan, do you have any other plans in your heart?" (To be continued......)
