"Cao Gong, your lance!"

Zhao Yu's shout made Cao Cao subconsciously glance at the long lance in his hand, but he was also so shocked that he threw the lance out at that time, because the first half of the lance had already burned, and if he didn't throw it away, he would burn his hand.

Zhao Yu hurriedly leaned on the side of the horse, picked up a long pole with the tip of the spear and threw it to Cao Cao, and then sat back in the saddle, when the spear was raised again, Zhao Yu said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Cao Gong, you have forgotten what Mr. has repeatedly told me!" This time, the thousands of bags of fish oil that my brother specially transported to Guandu are not ordinary fish oil, and they are hard to extinguish when they see the fire! ”

Cao Cao replied vaguely, and fought again. Now it is to fight wholeheartedly, Cao Cao didn't think too much, but before Cao Cao's surprise attack team set off, when Lu Ren ordered the grain team to take out all the fish oil and hand it over to each soldier, Cao Cao once muttered in his heart. Muttering what? Of course, he muttered how Lu Ren had prepared everything!

In this regard, Lu Ren explained that before he came, he had planned to suggest Cao Cao to adopt the tactics of surprise attack and food cut-off, and considering that the surprise attack team would be inconvenient if they carried firewood and grass and other fire-causing things, for example, the weight-bearing march would make the soldiers too tired, and if they bumped into Yuan Jun on the march, Yuan Jun would see through it on the spot, so he collected a large number of lighting oils on the market and processed them into fish oil used by Cao Jun now. Let 5,000 soldiers each carry two bags of this fish oil, which is not only light and easy to carry, but also has a strong burning (arson) ability.

Wuchao's grain is about more than 30,000 carts, if you want to burn it all. Then each Cao sergeant probably has to carry about 30 catties of dry firewood to be enough. After carrying so many things and marching nearly a hundred miles away, it is strange that these Cao soldiers are not tired enough. If it is according to the original history, these soldiers and horses of Cao Cao set off when it was dark. The black nest that arrived at dawn the next day.

But the current situation is that Cao Junjun basically everyone only carried two bags of fish oil around their waists, at most ten Han catties, which reduced the weight of Cao Jun's weight and accelerated the marching speed, and also saved a lot of physical strength for Cao Jun, so he rushed to Wuchao at four watches in the middle of the night. And this time is when Yuan Jun is the most relaxed, so Cao Jun will enter the village effortlessly.

It is said that there are thousands of bags of fish oil, but in fact there are nearly 10,000 of them. So much fish oil. It didn't take long for all of them to become "incendiary bombs" that were difficult to extinguish. The entire sky above the black nest has been dyed red by the fire that has reached the sky. Yuan's army was already in chaos, but the soldiers of Cao Jun, who threw away all the "incendiary bombs", had no shirk. Instead, he devoted all his energy to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions......

————————————————————

Before the battle of Wuchao was about to start, in the Cao military camp in Guandu, Lu Ren and Cao Hong were anxiously waiting on the high lookout platform in the camp. When I was in an irritable mood, a soldier in the audience suddenly reported that he had caught a spy. and claimed to be Cao Cao's old friend Xu You.

Cao Hong didn't dare to slack off. hurriedly stepped down and ordered the soldiers to bring in for interrogation, but Lu Ren was so angry that he stomped his feet on the stage, and said in his heart, why didn't you come to Cao Cao to report a few days earlier? Cao Cao's surprise attack here is about to start, why did you come over? You're really fucking in a hurry! It seems that you Xu You is also a guy whose life should not be cut off at this time, otherwise as soon as the Wuchao grain is burned out, Cao Cao will immediately attack Yuan Shao, and when the time comes, it is possible for Xu You to die in the chaos of the army.

After a short time, Xu You was brought to Lu Ren and Cao Hong. Cao Hong stepped forward to ask. Lu Ren was so upset that he really wanted to step forward and slap Xu You twice to vent his anger. Then scolded a few words such as "Why didn't you come earlier, and I let Zhao Yu and a girl's family go on a risk to scout, and I almost got sick myself". However, at this time, Lu Ren was still able to suppress his anger.

After Cao Hong asked a few more words, the arrogant Xu Youke was a little unhappy, and asked coldly: "Xu You is sincere to vote, if you want to meet Cao Gong and then enter to break Yuan's plan, you can take me to see Cao Gong quickly!" ”

Isn't Lu Ren upset? Seeing that Xu You was arrogant after a few words, he had the meaning of "you guys don't know each other", so he took two steps forward angrily, and saluted Xu You in the same cold tone: "Mr. Xu, you are late." Cao Gong has already led his troops to Wuchao. ”

Xu You was taken aback when he heard this, and asked anxiously: "Cao Gong has sent troops to the black nest?" The entire Yuan camp is unaware!? Yuan Benchu is in a big trend! Ay...... Who are you? ”

Lu Ren said: "In Xia Lu Ren, the word Yihao, the current captain of the Dasi Nong Mansion to govern Su, and the guard of Shangshutai Shangshu servant. ”

Xu You was taken aback again, and after carefully drying Lu Ren, he said: "Your Excellency is Lu Ren Lu Yihao, who was shocked to retreat Yuan Shang before the battle, and who has made great achievements in the Tuntian Jigu in Yan and Henan, and is known as Lu Ren and Lu Yihao, who are comparable to Xiao He, the Han Dynasty?" I didn't expect you to be so young! ”

Lu Ren is Chinese New Year's Eve today, and Xu You and Cao Cao are from the same period, about the same age as Cao Cao, and they are both in their early forties now. When a forty-year-old sees a thirty-year-old, of course he thinks the other person is young.

Lu Ren just shook his head and smiled, but Xu You suddenly remembered something, and asked in surprise: "Listening to Lu Servant's words, it seems that he has long expected that Xu You will come here, and what is the strategy he wants to offer, Lu Servant Shot has also expected it?" ”

"Well...... this"

Only then did Lu Ren realize that he had just spoken under irritability. However, Lu Ren reacted quickly, and remedied in time: "Why did Mr. Xu say this? When I say late, I mean that Mr. Xu was late, and Cao Gong had his own plan to break Yuan. ”

Xu Yu sighed, and the expression on his face became quite strange. Lu Ren didn't want to say any more nonsense here at Xu You at this time, so he ordered the soldiers to take Xu You to the guest tent to entertain him, and he climbed the lookout to the north to watch. In fact, to be honest, Xu You's arrival is not completely useless, at least his arrival can prove that Lu Ren has not corrected anything wrong here.

Not long after, Cao Hong also caught up with the stage and stood side by side with Lu Ren, and asked softly: "Sir, look at this Xu Yu......"

Lu Ren said casually: "He and Cao Gong are old friends, how to treat him is not a matter for us to ask, right?" Let's wait for Cao Gong to come back...... Well? Zilian, look over there! ”

Cao Hong took the telescope in Lu Ren's hand and looked north, and immediately saw the fire that opened to the sky, and was so excited that he raised his fist and slammed it to the guardrail of the lookout: "It's done!" With such a fire, it must be that the lord has successfully attacked the black nest and set fire to its grain! ”

Lu Ren lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying to Cao Hong: "Brother Zilian, it's up to us to make plans next, you and I should prepare for each other." ”

The black nest was on fire, Xu You ran again, and Lu Ren felt that Yuan Shao might still play the trick of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", not to rescue the heavy troops of the black nest, but to attack Guandu Cao Zhai with all his might, so he had to deal with the onslaught of the main force of the Yuan army on the Guandu Cao camp that would soon follow. It is strange to say, no matter what Lu Ren's mentality was before, but now when Lu Ren was in the midst of this famous classic battle in history, his heart was also excited, and he even looked forward to the attack of Yuan Jun coming soon.

Although Cao Hong had a discord with Lu Ren because of some things at the beginning, he became very friendly with Lu Ren after experiencing some things, and Cao Hong was also very convinced of Lu Ren, so it can be said that he obeyed his words. Now that he has been reminded by Lu Ren, even though Cao Hong has some doubts in his heart, he still went to give the order for the whole army to fight before he came back to ask Lu Ren, saying why Lu Ren would think that Yuan Shao would use the main force to attack Guandu, instead of going to rescue Wuchaotun grain. After all, in Cao Hong's opinion, Yuan Shao's action is really against military common sense, and Cao Hong will of course be a little incomprehensible.

Lu Ren just smiled casually at this, but pretended to be mysterious and didn't explain, because Lu Ren was not easy to explain the reason to Cao Hong. However, if it had been in the past, Lu Ren would have thought that this was the process of history itself, and at the same time, he would have worried about whether there would be changes due to the butterfly effect he had brought about. But the current Lu Ren will not, because the current Lu Ren has slowly grown a lot after experiencing a lot of personal feelings that only belong to him, and gradually understands how to think and analyze when looking at things, and grasps the so-called historical inevitability from the perspective of "knowing why it is true".

Take the fact that Lu Ren is sure that Yuan Shao will send the main force to attack Guandu Caoying, Lu Ren did not directly apply the original process in history, but seriously thought about why Yuan Shao made such a wrong move. In this way, Lu Ren saw things that he hadn't really been able to see before.

So why did Yuan Shao make such a mistake? In Lu Ren's view, the biggest reason is that Yuan Shao is "scheming and indecisive", that is, indecisive. According to historical data, Yuan Shao, as a person who commanded the army, was attacked by a surprise attack on the lifeline of his three armies, if it was replaced by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang, most of them would not hesitate to send heavy troops to the rescue, but Yuan Shao did not immediately send troops to rescue Wuchao, and even called the generals to discuss with the strategists how to deal with it! As a high-ranking person, he has almost no decisive power that he should have, but he has to discuss everything with his staff, how is this like a person who really leads troops into battle?

Then what followed was the infighting between Yuan Shao's staff. In fact, Zhang He put forward the correct opinion at that time, if Yuan Shao adopted it in time, he would not necessarily have the defeat of Guandu, but the problem was that Yuan Shao had a lot of internal fighting! What if Zhang He's opinion is correct?

If Cao Cao is repelled, the merit will be on Zhang He, which is not something that Feng Ji and others are willing to see, so although Zhang He's opinion is correct, Feng Ji and others are driven by the desire to refute it, and then let Yuan Shao adopt Feng Ji's own opinion. For this reason, Feng Ji even desperately asked Yuan Shao to take risks that he didn't have to take at all, and the most terrible thing was that Yuan Shao just obeyed Feng Ji, who had always welcomed him!

Based on these factors, Lu Ren concluded that Zhang He's correct opinion would not be adopted by Yuan Shao...... In fact, to put it simply, Lu Ren just thought one thing clearly, that is, the main reason that will affect the course of history is the mentality and character of these high-level decision-makers.

"Come on, come on, the more soldiers and horses you have here, the smoother Lao Cao's fire will be...... Hmph, even if Yuan Shao would rescue the grain and grass with heavy troops, Lao Cao was determined to burn it all. When it was time to fight, Lao Cao could fight much more than Yuan Shao!
