"Cao Gong......" Lu Ren bowed to Cao Cao cautiously.
Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and said "um", narrowing his signature triangular eyes: "Feng Xiao said that you have something to say to Gu, what is it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Lu Renfu hesitated again, then peeked at Guo Jia, and saw that Guo Jia was indeed looking at this very attentively, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Cao Cao: "I have the courage to ask Cao Cao to take back his life, and don't go to slaughter the people of Pengcheng and Xuzhou." ”
Cao Cao's face was cold at that time: "You just want to say this?" If you want to die, Lone will fulfill you now! ”
Lu Renxin said that Cao Cao during this period was really no different from a mad dog, and it could almost be said that he saw who bit whom. It's just that now that the arrow is off the string, there is no turning back, so I can only say it hard, of course, I have also adjusted the physical strength enhancer in secret, just in case: "Cao Gong, if you want to kill me, it is more difficult than pinching an ant to death, but can you let me finish my words before killing me?" I know that Cao Gong is a person who wants to achieve a great cause, and a person who achieves a great cause is a person who can make his subordinates and the people around him speak out. ”
In these opening words, Lu Ren took Cao Cao's army according to Cao Cao's character. And Cao Cao obviously didn't expect Lu Ren to come with such a hand, and after being stunned for a while, he flicked his sleeves and turned around again, turned his back to Lu Ren and said, "Say it!" Lone will let you finish your words before deciding whether to kill you or not. ”
Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart Fortunately, I know a little bit about your Cao Cao's behavior, otherwise I wouldn't have let you click if the first sentence came out. At that moment, he took a deep breath, and continued: "Cao Gong Mingjian, first of all, I don't deny that I want to intercede for the people of Pengcheng......" Here Lu Ren didn't dare to say that he wanted to save the people of Pengcheng, but just said that he was "interceding". The weight between the two is very different, "saving the people" may seem too great, and if you don't do it, you will violate Cao Cao's taboo and provoke Cao Cao, just saying "interceding" is not so serious.
Cao Cao just snorted after hearing this, and didn't pay attention to Lu Ren.
Seeing Cao Cao's reaction, Lu Ren became a little more courageous, and he dared to speak: "But Duke Cao, you should also think carefully about whether slaughtering Pengcheng and even the people of Xuzhou will do you more good than harm, or more harm than good." Anyway, without considering the premise of interceding for the people, I always feel that Cao Gong, you slaughtering the people like this is actually doing you more harm than good...... Of course, Cao Gong, you can also think that I am quibbling tricks, and I dare not admit it. ”
Cao Cao snorted again, but finally turned half of his body, and said with a cold expression: "What a clever quibble, you Lu Yihao is very kind of a real villain, and you dare to say such things directly." Okay, since you said that it is not good for Gu Duo, then I want to hear what the disadvantages are. ”
This may be where Lu Ren is smart, or it can be said to be cunning. If it is someone else, most of them will say something to Cao Cao, such as "this move is unjust" or "Tao Gongzu is not at fault", that is, to persuade Cao Cao from the aspect of human accidents. But Lu Ren will not talk to Cao Cao about this, because Lu Ren, a person in later generations, has too many ready-made materials that have been analyzed thoroughly by professional scholars, and he knows very well that talking about a human accident with a ruthless and red-eyed Cao Cao is basically equivalent to farting, and it is the kind that takes off his pants to put it, plus he has a special identity now, and he will find death for himself if he doesn't do well. If you want to convince Cao Cao at this time, I am afraid that you can only start from the stakes, stand in Cao Cao's position, and analyze Cao Cao's pros and cons:
"Cao Gong, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people. This time, Cao Gong raised troops to attack Xu, and the true intention in Cao Gong's heart, Lu Ren knew it when he asked himself. And Cao Gong's slaughter and poking at the public, the intention is nothing more than two, one is to kill Liwei to make Xuzhou frightened, and at the same time, to prove that Cao Gong has a monstrous hatred and insanity in your heart because of your father's hatred; The second is that after the killing, the people of Xuzhou can be lost, so that Tao Qian cannot muster troops to resist Cao Gong. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ren took a moment to change his tone, but Cao Cao was a little more interested, still squinting at Lu Ren.
Seeing that Lu Ren had changed his breath again, after a slight pause, he continued to say to Cao Cao: "Lu Ren is a person with little knowledge, but he has also read a few historical books and knows a little about ancient things. This slaughter of the city has been done since ancient times, like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Bai Qi killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State in one breath, which made Zhao State have been greatly injured since then, and there is no longer the strength to compete for power. Now that Cao Gongshu is slaughtering Xuzhou, he may have the same idea, right?
But Cao Cao should understand what this time and that time are, the world during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a feudal situation, and the people of all countries regarded the people of other countries as outsiders, but if there was a dispute, they hated each other, and the battle was almost a war to destroy the country.
But since Gaozu Liu Bang ruled the world, the people of the world have become the same family, and there is no longer that kind of xenophobic hostility between countries. At this time, Cao Gong, you came to slaughter the city to vent your personal anger, and people all over the world will say that you are too much, tyrannical and ruthless, and even say that you are the second Dong Zhuo, which will make those like-minded wise men and people afraid to move forward and dare not come to the rule of Cao Gong. Cao Gong, you are a person who wants to achieve great things, and the common people must have enough wise men to assist you in achieving great things, and now you are ruining your reputation like this, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to your future development. ”
Cao Cao snorted and said, "That's all you want to say?" ”
Lu Renyi gritted his teeth: "Of course, if you have strong enough strength and overpower with your might, there will be many people who are afraid of your power and attach themselves to Cao Gong's curtain." But Cao Gong, can your current strength be compared to Dong Zhuo back then? With Dong Zhuozhi's strength, he still ended up dead without a corpse, not to mention that Cao Gong, you are now surrounded by strong enemies. ”
Cao Cao's face immediately pulled the elder: "You actually put Lone and Dong Thief together?" ”
Lu Ren was startled, and almost turned on the physical strength enhancer directly. However, seeing that Cao Cao was only showing his anger, but did not make any further moves, Lu Ren's heart that was hanging in his throat slowly returned to its original position. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that what I said just now was a bit close to the human accident, and it was not surprising that Cao Cao would feel that he didn't like it, so it was better to hurry up and say something real. At that moment, he quickly took a few deep breaths, adjusted his state and then opened his mouth again:
"Cao Gong, please stop your anger! Lu Ren now just wants to ask Cao Gong, does Cao Gong really want to include Xuzhou in your pocket? ”
Cao Cao coldly hung Lu Ren up and down, and snorted lightly: "If you want to take the Central Plains, you must first take Xuzhou, this Xuzhou is naturally determined to win." But by the way, I also want to avenge my father, Xue Yixue's hatred in my lonely heart. ”
"......" Lu Ren was silent for a moment, and once again plucked up the courage to ask Cao Cao: "Then in Cao Gong's heart, it should be the great cause and the family feud first, right?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes were about to narrow into a slit: "Lu Yihao, you are clearly a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, why is the clam so bold at the moment?" Do you really think that Lone will not kill you for the sake of Fengxiao's face? ”
As soon as Lu Ren heard this, he secretly pinched a cold sweat, but now that the words have come to this point, he can't get it back, so it's better to simply fight it: "Those who have achieved great things will not count the gains and losses of one city and one place, and they will definitely not destroy their future for personal revenge." I dare to ask Cao Gong again, does Cao Gong really want to take Xuzhou? ”
Cao Cao snorted coldly again, flicked his sleeves again, and turned his back to Lu Ren again: "This is natural!" ”
Lu Ren didn't dare to sell anything here, so he hurriedly said the following words: "Then Cao Gong, you might as well think about it, if you insist on slaughtering the city, then after taking Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will inevitably flee away because they are afraid of being slaughtered again, and then you will only get an empty Xuzhou." And what is the use of an empty Xuzhou for you? ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lu Ren said: "If it is an empty Xuzhou, where no one is planting, where will you go to collect military rations?" There is no one to buy and sell goods in the market, where do you go to collect money tax? There is no one in the household register, where do you go to recruit soldiers? If you can't receive money and food, you can't recruit soldiers, does this kind of Xuzhou make sense to you?
"Not only that, if you really get an empty Xuzhou, then do you keep it? If you don't leave troops to defend the land, your battle will be meaningless, and you can only make a wedding dress for others in the end; If you stay to defend the territory, your current strength is not strong, but you still have to disperse your small forces, and you are afraid that it will be too easy for others to take advantage of it.
"Don't think that Lu Ren is saying something unfounded, Lu Ren himself is an ordinary person who has been wandering for many years, and whenever a war comes, he will try to run away from home as soon as possible. Once you slaughter the city, you may be able to kill all the people of a city and a county, and after hearing the news, the people of other counties will inevitably run to other counties like Lu Ren and escape from the places where Cao Gong and your soldiers and horses are within reach. And Xuzhou has Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, these two are above Cao Gong's fame, and the people of Xuzhou will inevitably follow him. It is said that one trades off the other, Cao Gong, is it really cost-effective for you to do this? ”
After saying this, Lu Ren peeked at Cao Cao, wanting to see how Cao Cao reacted. And Cao Cao's reaction was that his body trembled significantly twice, and his body immediately turned around, and his eyes did not squint anymore, but stared at Lu Ren like a torch, and forced Lu Ren step by step.
Seeing this, Lu Ren was taken a step back, and said in his heart, Cao Cao, what are you doing here? Could it be that I was annoyed by what I said and wanted to click me? Seeing Cao Cao approaching, Lu Ren involuntarily began to retreat, and the physical strength enhancer was also quietly activated.
Fortunately, after Cao Cao approached a few steps, he only asked Lu Ren: "Lu Ren-you are really just a person who has not read any books, and you are all relying on your own eavesdropping and eavesdropping while you are wandering?" ”
"......" Lu Ren didn't know what Cao Cao was trying to do, but it seemed that Cao Cao didn't seem to mean to click on himself, so he immediately responded hesitantly: "This, it's actually very embarrassing to say this kind of thing, and I don't have the need to lie to people, right?"
