"All the princes are scattered, and I will come to the house tomorrow to discuss matters."

Cao Cao spoke, and the people in the hall also bowed and retreated. However, when everyone saluted, Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Cheng Yu understood in his heart, deliberately walked a few steps slower, and after leaving the hall, he pushed back to Cao Cao, and then turned back to Cao Cao after separating from Er Xun and Guo Jia.

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he saw Cheng Yu go and return, and before anyone could speak, Cheng Yu took a step ahead of Cao Cao and said: "Yu already knows a little about what the lord is worried about, and allows Yu to try to say it." Is the lord worried about Lu Yihao's imminent departure? ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed so much that there was only one slit left at the moment, but in this thin slit of his eyes, there would be a flash of light from time to time: "Zhongde knows my heart very well!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Yu thinks that this Lu Ren must not allow him to leave!" ”

Cao Cao smiled seemingly casually: "Why did Zhongde say this? Since he came out, Lone has known that he has no intention of being an official. And he has been in office for several years, and he has made a lot of achievements for isolation. Now that he wants to retire successfully, how can Lone stop him? It's just a pity. ”

Cheng Yu is actually older than Cao Cao, and his temper belongs to the type of stone in the pit, so he speaks very directly: "Why should the lord deceive himself? In fact, in Yu's opinion, the lord has long known that Lu Ren must not let him go, but he doesn't want to hurt the hearts of Feng Xiao and others, so he has to be so pretentious, right? ”

Cao Cao didn't reply when he heard this, but frowned, and gently knocked on the table with his fingers.

Cheng Yu continued: "With all due respect, the lord has always loved his life, and this Lu Yihao has several merits, so it is inevitable that the lord will tolerate it in his heart; Fengxiao, Wenruo, and Gongda have a good relationship with Lu Ren, and now that Lu Ren has been born, with the small righteousness of relatives and friends, it will naturally help him to leave the heart and lose his plan. But Yu is different, Yu has been in Juancheng for a long time. And he has never had any dealings with Lu Ren, so he can get the clear state of a bystander. ”

Cao Cao was still tapping lightly on the table, but his eyes were already closed: "Zhongde might as well elaborate, why can't this Lu Ren let him go?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "As far as the general trend is concerned, the battle between the lord and Yuan Shao is inevitable, but the time has not yet come, and they lack the name of the teacher. And with the current situation of the lord and Yuan Shao, this battle is a battle related to the general trend of the world, and whoever can win will be the overlord of the world. It's just that the power of the lord is far less than that of Yuan Shao. The reason why the lord can compete with Yuan Shao today is that he can keep his word and abide by his righteousness, gather everyone to resist a strong enemy, so he can have the strength to fight with Yuan Shao.

"Since the lord is relying on the whole group to resist Yuan Shao, and Lu Renruo suddenly left at this time...... With his reputation today, if he goes, the government and the opposition will be shaken, and those who don't know what he is in will only be mistaken for seeing that the lord is about to fall. Therefore, he first gave up his lord and went to find another way to make a living. Even those who know the secret are likely to be suspicious. If this is the case, the momentum of the lord gathering all the people will be in danger of collapse, and I am afraid that the general trend will go! ”

To put it simply, if Lu Ren, a person who already has a high reputation, "escapes" at this critical moment. It is easy to cause a large-scale chain reaction.

Cao Cao's expression froze. In fact, with Cao Cao's ingenuity, where would he not have thought of this? So Cao Cao nodded vigorously and said, "Zhongde's words are very true!" ”

Cheng Yu continued: "Actually, if Lu Ren really returned to the master to seek his life and longevity, it may not be a big deal to spread the news. But people are unpredictable. If someone pretends to attack the lord in this matter, and falsely claims that Lu Ren abandoned the lord in the name of this, and then switched to Yuan Benchu's command......"

Cao Cao smiled: "Gu Su knows the beginning. He is by no means a person who can use Lu Ren. And Lu Rensu is light on Yuan Shao, and there is no possibility of being like-minded. ”

Cheng Yu said: "The main guild thinks so, but others don't think so. Moreover, although Yuan Ben was not a person who could use Lu Ren at the beginning, but Yuan Shao used people to collect fame, with Lu Ren's reputation today, how could Yuan Shao be unintentional? Don't forget that Yuan Benchu had a letter before, begging Lu Ren to be transferred to Hebei to take up a post. ”

Cao Cao immediately fell silent. Yuan Shao's expression was public, so the vast majority of people thought that Yuan Shao did mean to solicit Lu Ren. In this case, if Lu Ren leaves, it will be difficult to avoid being mistaken for Lu Ren and secretly going to Yuan Shao. And there are a lot of people in Xuchang who secretly hook up with Yuan Shao here, so Cao Cao will not know? If Lu Ren came like that, then there would really be no way to avoid this chain reaction.

At this time, if Cao Cao was still a little soft-hearted about Lu Ren's departure before, now that Cheng Yu has made up his mind, Cao Cao has already made up his mind. Cao Cao: Who is that? It is true that love is like life, but what Cao Cao really wants is the world. If you really compare it to the world, your little Lu Ren is a yarn? When it's time to make a sacrifice, Cao Cao will be reluctant to sacrifice your little Lu Ren?

Just in time for this time, Cheng Yu had to pour some more oil on the fire: "In addition, Yu still has some doubts about Lu Ren. Although he used thaumaturgy to help break through Xiapi, he said afterwards that he had lost one era of life, and said that his life was difficult to complete the fourth age, and now he should leave Xu Hao to find a teacher and prolong his life. I think that since ancient times, the theory of immortal longevity has been extremely prosperous, but how many people can really get immortals? However, this Lu Ren has learned a wide range of things in his chest, and most of them are unknown to his predecessors, so it is somewhat credible to say that he once met an immortal fate and learned from a teacher, so he can also believe that he wants to prolong his life. But ......"

dragged on for a long time, and Cheng Yu's face became very gloomy: "Do you still remember that before this, he left Liu Bei in order to help the lord?" What excuse did he use at the time? ”

Cao Cao's face also changed: "He deduced that the leylines in Runan had changed, so that the grain rice absorbed the poison in the ground and became poisoned rice...... Afterwards, he asked Feng Xiao to clarify the matter to Lonely. ”

Cheng Yu said: "Yu believes that he does have thaumaturgy, but it is not difficult to see from this incident that he is also very good at playing some tricks of pretending to be gods and ghosts. Now he deduces that the deadline is approaching, and he wants to return to the division to find a teacher to prolong his life. Although Yu has never been in contact with Lu Ren, he has also heard that if he is not in touch, he will always be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Now, according to what he said, it is a precarious time, if you really want to prolong your life, you should go away desperately, instead of taking care of the safety of the clan family here in Xudu. reminds me of the resign and retreat that he often cherishes in his heart...... The lord, and Rong Yu asserted that Lu Ren's search for a teacher to prolong his life was just a pretext for his intention to go into hiding. ”

Cao Cao frowned again: "It's not a day or two that he wants to resign and go into hiding, and now he is doing enough of these aftermath things, which shows that his intention to return to seclusion is true." ”

Cheng Yu smiled at Cao Cao, but his face quickly became gloomy again. Cao Cao could see that Cheng Yu still had something to say, so he motioned for Cheng Yu to say it. Cheng Yu nodded and groaned deeply: "Actually, Yu still has a worry...... The lord thinks that Lu Ren has great ambitions? ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "If it were someone else, it would be really hard to say about Lone, but Yihao is such a son, but Lone dares to say that he has never had any ambitions in his heart." If it weren't for his prodigy, he would be a complete drunkard. ”

Cheng Yu said: "Yu doesn't think so. In Yu's opinion, this Lu Ren seems to be very similar to a person. ”

"Much like a person? Who does Zhongde want to compare? ”

Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao deeply, and slowly spit out a few words: "Gaozu, Liu Bang." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and he was really scorched by thunder, and said with a dumb smile: "Zhongde, you can't help but compare this too much, right?" How can you compare Lu Ren with Gao Zu? ”

Cheng Yu's response was unhurried: "Because Yu feels that the current Lu Ren is quite similar to the beginning of Gaozu." Thinking that Gaozu Liu Bang was just the head of the Bishui Pavilion before the accident, he was idle all day long, so he had to drink and sex, and the world called him a ruffian, without a hero's posture, and it can even be said that Gaozu Liu Bang also had no heroic ambition.

But has the lord ever thought that what makes a hero is often not whether the person has a heroic ambition in his heart, but the current situation. Gaozu Liu Bang is like this, if it weren't for the urgency of the times, how could Gaozu Liu Bang raise troops to make trouble? And after the incident, its momentum gradually became large, and naturally people who wanted to achieve meritorious deeds joined the command of Gaozu Liu Bang, which in turn made Gaozu's momentum more and more prosperous, and the heroic ambition in Gaozu's chest became more and more ......"

Cao Cao waved his hand to Cheng Yu with a gloomy face: "Zhongde, if you want to say anything, just say it, don't cite these ancient comparisons." ”

Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In Yu's opinion, Lu Ren's talent for a rich country is rarely matched in the world, and although he has no ability to use soldiers, he often has outstanding knowledge in his chest, and he has a bitter and cold background, so he treats people with humility, and the lord doesn't think that such Lu Ren is actually similar to Gaozu Liu Bang at the beginning of his life?"

"Or should it be said that this Lu Ren actually has more capital than Gaozu Liu Bang, because as long as he is given a piece of land and some people, he can get plenty of money and food in just a few years. And with money and food in hand, he can gather a large number of soldiers and horses between his hands. With money, food, soldiers and horses, there will naturally be wise men and women who want to achieve something in the troubled times.

"What Lu Ren lacked at the beginning was only the prestige of recruiting talents, but now he has a wide reputation in the world, and it is enough to recruit people who can be used for him. If you owe it again, it will be the time to break away from the control of the lord and stand on your own. And the lord is now fighting with Yuan Shao, and he has no time to take care of other things, isn't it the best time for him to find a place to stand? With Lu Ren's talent, if he gets a place as the base, and he has won the years of life between the lord and Yuan Shao, I am afraid that he may be even more terrible than Liu Bei! At least at least, he may also become another Liu Jingsheng, because in Yu's eyes, this Lu Ren is much stronger than Liu Jingsheng. (To be continued......)
