Xu You's arrival made Cao Cao extremely happy...... Although the current Xu You has lost Xu You's share in the surprise attack on the Black Nest because of the appearance of Lu Ren, an outlier figure, Xu You has been one of the important strategists around Yuan Shao for many years, and he knows too many military secrets on Yuan Shao's side, and Cao Cao has only just burned down the Black Nest, and there are still many things that cannot be determined for the time being, so for Cao Cao, Xu You still has a great use value, so Cao Cao did not neglect Xu You.

Moreover, the current Cao Cao is returning from a big victory, and he is in a very good mood, so he naturally wants to his tail in front of his old friend, and he is also an old friend under the command of his old opponent.

The war was not over, so neither Cao Cao nor Xu You had been drinking, and at the same time they had the idea of keeping a clear head and talking to each other. After a few cups of polite tea, Cao Cao grabbed a chicken leg with his hand and gnawed it indiscriminately, and said to Xu You while gnawing: "Ziyuan, listen to what you say, I really want to secretly call it a fluke." Dangerous, really dangerous! If I had used Ziyuan's strategy to attack Xudu with light horses, and then attacked each other head to end, it is likely that by today, I have already done all the great things. Hmph, he was not incompetent in the first place, but he was scheming and indecisive and did not listen to good advice, and he should have today's defeat! ”

Xu You said: "Now that Yuan Benchu Wuchaotun has lost all his grain, the army will be in chaos within three days, and Meng De can be said to have won the victory." Meng De was outnumbered, surprisingly victorious, and his wisdom was far ahead of him, even if Sun and Wu were resurrected, they were only like this, and they were in awe in their hearts. ”

Although Cao Cao was a little complacent when he heard this, he had not yet reached the point of gaffe. Still waved his hand and laughed: "The son is far from the prize!" Although I am conceited and intelligent, I dare not compare with Sun and Wu. And if it weren't for the concerted efforts of my ministers, how could I have the wisdom to reach the heavens? I still remember that when you and I were young and intersected, I liked to drink and have fun and judge people. And now there are a lot of capable people under my account, but it is a pity that this battle is fierce all day long, and everyone is tired, and they need to rest to recover their strength, which is really inconvenient to disturb. And tomorrow, I will introduce Ziyuan one by one, how about it? ”

Xu Yu respectfully obeyed. However, when Cao Cao introduced everyone in Cao Ying, Xu You's mind immediately appeared with Lu Ren's arrogant demeanor on the lookout during the fierce battle at night, and when Xu You rushed to Cao Ying. Lu Ren's cold and somewhat dissatisfied tone towards Xu You......

In fact, this is just Xu Yu's own psychological effect. However, when Xu You came over, Lu Ren really didn't give Xu You any good looks. But no matter what, Lu Ren did leave a deep impression on Xu You, so at this time, Xu You couldn't help but ask Cao Cao: "You came here last night." I don't know who it is. I saw Lu Ren and Lu Yihao first...... But I don't know where Meng De found this Lu Ren and Lu Yihao? ”

"Yoshiho?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed and said, "He was strongly recommended to me by Fengxiao a few years ago." I remember that at the beginning, Gu didn't care about him, thinking that he was just a mediocre talent with occasional knowledge, and he had no intention of reuse. It's just...... Lone can be regarded as reading countless people, and he thinks he knows a lot of people, but he is here to look away.

"Yihao seems to be mediocre, but in fact, he has learned a lot in his chest, and most of them are unheard of and unseen by others. It's a bit subtle to say. At first, when his talent first appeared, it was only speculated that he had traveled all over the world. So I have seen a lot. Later, he was forced to use the mysterious technique, and then admitted that he had met the fairy fate and went to the land of the fairy fate to learn art, but unfortunately because of the poor root bones and the dust is inexhaustible, he can't practice the art of immortal longevity, so he can only learn some miscellaneous arts in the world.

"It's just that these miscellaneous arts of his have made our land rich in money and grain and the people happy for several years, and there is no need to worry about money and food when the army was first raised. Now I can concentrate on attacking and fighting abroad, and I don't have to worry about the lack of money and food for the army, thanks to the work of this man. ”

Xu You said: "When you were in Hebei, I also heard many rumors about this person, but it was difficult to believe the rumors in the market. When I meet it now, I want to dare to ask the public, in Meng De's opinion, how is Lu Yihao and his person? ”

Cao Cao said: "Hmm...... In Xudu, Guo Fengxiao and Lu Yihao were nicknamed the two prodigal sons of Xudu, who were undisciplined and debauched all day long, and some people called these two ghosts Guo Weilu. Guo Fengxiao is good at strategy, deep understanding and strategy, to achieve things, the strategy depends on the person, the plan will be in the middle, there is no loss, it is like the wisdom of ghosts and gods, so it is called a ghost; Lu Yihao has a lot of miscellaneous studies, and his actions often do not follow the law, and others do not understand it, so it is strange to call it, but the day it is completed, it is very effective. This ghost has two talents, one political management, and one military strategy, and I have his help! But now that I think about it, if it weren't for Feng Xiao, Wen Ruo, and Yuan Rang's strong recommendation, I almost missed Lu Yihao, a genius in the world. It can't be helped, he often looks too unpresentable. ”

When Xu You heard Cao Cao's praise of Lu Ren, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking that he was nothing now, he could only echo Cao Cao and said: "You also heard that Lu Yihao is comparable to Xiao He, the Han Minister. Meng De has this talent to help, fortunately! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, but his face darkened, and then sighed lightly: "But Ziyuan still doesn't know, this person ...... I can't stay anymore. ”

Xu Yu was stunned, and then asked Cao Cao what was going on, and Cao Cao also roughly told Lu Ren what happened before and after. Xu You was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but there was a little joy in his heart for no reason, but he didn't show it on his face, but pretended to be serious and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De and forgive me for making it clear that if this Lu Ren is just a mediocre talent, it is not a big deal to let him go." But he has a strange talent, and he should not be used for public use, nor should he be allowed to go away in this way.

"I thought that if he really had no ambitions, he should not have applied for the draft, and he made many achievements and gained such a high reputation. He kept saying that he just wanted to live a free life, and he didn't want to be an official...... It's not easy to say, there are many people in the world who don't love fame, but this matter of prolonging life may be a deliberate deception, and the person who is trying to get away is just to get out. It's just Mengde, if such a person lives in seclusion, who is waiting for him......"

Xu You was friends with Cao Cao and knew that Cao Cao was a smart person, so he didn't need to say it too clearly.

Looking at Cao Cao's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, he habitually narrowed his signature triangular eyes but did not speak. After a long time, Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "I don't hide it, this is exactly what I am worried about." In fact, Cheng Zhongde also mentioned this matter to me, but Lu Yihao has always made great contributions to me, and I also know how human he is, so I can't bear it......"

Xu You was happy in his heart, but he said with a straight face: "The public must not have the kindness of a woman." In You's opinion, Lu Ren must not be taken lightly. Xiang Gong once indulged Liu Bei because of Liu Bei's planting of vegetables in Xu Du, and risked becoming a big trouble for his henchmen, and it seems that Lu Ren's strategy is still above Liu Bei, and he has an unworldly talent and many strange abilities. If he is allowed to go lightly, he will find an opportunity to rise, I am afraid that it will be a trouble for Meng De's henchmen! ”

Xu You can basically be regarded as Cao Cao's hair, and Cao Cao's personality is small, Xu You may not know very much, but there are still five or six points of understanding. So what kind of attitude Cao Cao has towards talents, Xu You is also relatively clear. Then again, Xu You dared to be so arrogant in front of Cao Cao, maybe he was confident that he knew that Cao Cao knew that he was still useful, but he didn't expect that his attitude would exceed Cao Cao's tolerance limit.

Of course, those things are still a little far away, and Cao Cao put down the cup when he heard this, and then got up and turned back and forth in the tent a few times, his expression becoming more and more cold. What is Cao Cao's attitude towards talents? It is "those who can be used by me, and use it thickly; Kill those who can't be used for me." And on this question of Lu Ren......

In fact, I don't know when Cao Cao already had the heart to get rid of Lu Ren to prevent future troubles, just because Cao Cao often saw Lu Ren's weak and affectionate side, and he was driven by his love for talent and wanted to completely take Lu Ren into use. But as things developed step by step, Cao Cao felt more and more that Lu Ren was like a cat...... It's okay to be docile and well-behaved when you're in your arms, but cats can't be raised, and sooner or later they will leave you.

Considering Lu Ren's "talent", Cao Cao's murderous intent towards Lu Ren was actually quite strong. It was really Cao Cao who considered that he was going to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and that he needed someone like Lu Ren to stabilize the military supply in the rear, and there were some other factors, so Cao Cao still had to suppress this matter first and ignore it for the time being. But now that Cao Cao has won this crucial battle of Guandu, Xu You, who already has a grudge against Lu Ren in his heart, mentions this, and Cao Cao really begins to think about it.

But even so, Cao Cao still had the last bit of hesitation in his heart. Cao Cao still admires Lu Ren's "talent". If Lu Ren is willing to stay, Cao Cao believes that the help that Lu Ren can provide is definitely not small, at least Cao Cao has always thought that Lu Ren's "talent" has not really been fully developed. Therefore, Cao Cao's real plan was to control Lu Ren. As a last resort, Cao Cao really didn't want to kill this killer. Cao Cao was pragmatic and knew that if he could really control Lu Ren, it would be of incalculable help to his hegemony.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and said to Xu You with a smile: "Presumably Ziyuan is tired at this moment, right?" Let's go back to the account and rest, how about we drink and talk about it tomorrow? ”

Xu You knew that Cao Cao needed a little time to think at the moment, and his current identity was not easy to say too much, of course, he was respectfully receiving. It's just that just walked out of the big tent with Cao Cao, and suddenly a herald came to report that Zhang He and Gao Ran had come to surrender, and Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him. When Cao Cao and Guo Jia were waiting in front of the camp gate, Cao Cao overheard Guo Jia's whisper:

"This stinky boy actually gave him the expectation that Zhang He and Gao Ran would definitely fall to the ground. Looking back on it carefully, from the beginning of the battle of Guandu to the present, transporting stone trucks, spying on black nests, flammable fish oil, fierce battles in the camp, and now Zhang and Gao Sophomore will surrender, it seems that he has already expected everything...... Well, if he really does it with his heart, I'm afraid I'm far from him. ”

Cao Cao was slightly shocked in his heart, because Guo Jia's self-talk seemed to remind Cao Cao of something. After a little hesitation, Cao Cao turned around and whispered to Guo Jia and laughed, "Fengxiao hasn't been drunk for a long time, right?" Why don't you come to the lonely tent tonight, how about a few drinks with you? ”

Guo Jia nodded in response, but from Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia seemed to have understood something, but his heart was also suffocated...... (To be continued.) )
