Chapter 390 The tongue blooms like a lotus

“…… Sure enough, it's an old fox! I still have to sing the big drama of the protagonist. ”

Thinking about these clearly, Lu Ren slowly put down the water cup and looked back at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu saw Lu Renwang coming back and said with a smile: "I have heard that Lu Servant shot a big name, and Xiu has already had the heart to pay a visit, but he has no chance. I am fortunate to be able to see it, and the embroidery is really relieved! It's just that I don't know what happened to Lu Servant shooting here? ”

Lu Ren smiled faintly, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and said, "It's not for anything else, Lu Ren is here for the general's future future." ”

Zhang Xiu froze on the spot, and even Jia Xu was slightly stunned, but immediately Jia Xu's eyes showed appreciation, and he nodded quietly.

Lu Ren's words made Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu stunned on the spot, and the old fox Jia Xu was so shrewd that he immediately understood Lu Ren's intentions, but Zhang Xiu was really a little confused. Habitually, Zhang Xiu's inquiring gaze drifted to Jia Xu, and seeing that Jia Xu was smiling and nodding to him secretly, Zhang Xiu asked Lu Ren suspiciously: "What does Lu Fu mean by this?" Since Jun is the envoy of Cao Gong, what he does is naturally for Cao Gong, why is it for the future of embroidery? ”

Lu Ren smiled faintly again: "Before going into details, let Lu Ren tell the general first." To be honest, although Lu Ren today is quite famous, and he is in Xu Du and has an important position in civil affairs, in fact, I have not read any books at all. People say that if they don't read, it is difficult to know etiquette, and Lu Ren's words will inevitably be rude and rude, and he will go straight without taboo, as if this is how it is easy to offend the general. After a while, if Lu Ren was very rude in his speech, he hoped that the general would be generous. ”

Although the words are kind words, I will also say hello to Zhang Xiu first, and what we will say will be difficult to listen to in a while. However, Zhang Xiuzhi didn't think much about it, and responded directly with a smile: "Lu Servant is serious!" Embroidery is also a vulgar person who has been in the army since childhood, and the most annoying thing is those words that are not clear, and it will be annoying to listen to them. What are the words. Lu Servant just cares, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Lu Renxin said: "It really looks like a person who has no scheming and is straight, no wonder when I met Cao Pi in history, I didn't even know how to act in a little play, and I didn't know how to show a little shame, and then I felt like I had made a big mistake because of Cao Pi's words, and then ran to commit suicide." This kind of mentality of his is not suitable for being the superior of an independent force at all, maybe it is really for his good to let him take refuge in Cao Cao earlier! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren's heart also felt as if he had thrown a burden, and then he glanced at Jia Xu over there, and saw that Jia Xu's eyes were full of appreciation, and after thinking about it, he decided to go straight in. So he asked Zhang Xiu: "It has been five or six years since the general took over the command of Uncle Ling's soldiers and horses, and he has been stationed in Wan and Sui, right?" There are many battles from time to time, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are still under the command of the general? ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he changed color. You must know that Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao are now hostile sides after all, and Lu Ren, as Cao Cao's staff and diplomatic envoy this time, is really a little too inappropriate to ask this when he opens his mouth. After all, it's one thing for you to secretly find out information, and it's another thing to ask about it in person.

You Lu Ren came here like this, do you want to provoke, or do you want to deliberately belittle it? Someone else, Jia Xu, did he analyze Lu Ren's intention to Zhang Xiu last night...... Of course. Jia Xu, the old fox, didn't say it so clearly, but made several assumptions for Zhang Xiu.

Now that he suddenly encountered such a thing, Zhang Xiu was a little dazed and didn't know how to deal with it, and his eyes drifted to Jia Xu again. Seeing this, Jia Xu groaned slightly, and then nodded lightly to Zhang Xiu, meaning that he could tell Lu Ren clearly. So Zhang Xiu hesitated and said, "The soldiers and horses under the embroidery command...... There were not many people, and there were about 15,000 people on foot. ”

“……”

This is Lu Ren and Jia Xu dumbfounded together. And Jia Xu looked back at Zhang Xiu's gaze, and he couldn't laugh or cry. The heart said that people dare to ask in person, they must have already found out clearly, and there must be other intentions to bring it up at this time, what are you doing to lie to others at this time? If someone wants to find out information, they won't be stupid enough to ask the enemy's leading figure at this time, right?

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled. Fu said to Zhang Xiu again: "General, Lu Ren came with sincerity, and there is no malice in asking about this matter at this moment, but why does the general want to deceive me?" ”

Zhang Xiu also understood that he had done a very idiotic thing, so he hurriedly laughed dryly: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating...... In fact, in fact, there are still more than 8,000 foot riders under the command of embroidery. ”

Lu Ren nodded, this number is the correct number. After thinking about it, he continued: "More than 8,000 people. General, Lu Ren said politely, what are these more than 8,000 people enough to do? ”

"You ......"

Zhang Xiuxin said that you are really polite enough to speak. However, the greeting had already been called, and Zhang Xiu couldn't do anything, so he could only say with a gloomy face: "What does Lu Servant mean by this?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and waved his hand to Zhang Xiu and said, "Don't worry, general, Lu Ren really has no malicious intentions, it's just that his words are a little ugly." Eight Thousand Paces to Ride ...... Dare to ask the general if he thinks he has the courage of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu in the past, or the strategy of Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period to break through the strong Chu and enter the Yingdu with the posture of a weak country? ”

Zhang Xiu still shook his head with a gloomy face.

Lu Ren smiled lightly: "General, please forgive Lu Ren for saying bluntly, the general is now leading 8,000 steps to ride in Wancheng, if you don't want to forge ahead, you should also think about retreating." It's just that with the power of a general, there is still the current situation...... Enter, general, you are not enough to storm the city and plunder the land. You must know that this place in Wancheng, although it can pass to the west and then touch the treasure land of Hanzhong, but the road is far away and mostly blocked by mountains and rivers, and then Zhang Luxiong of Hanzhong has three generations (Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu) according to Hanzhong, the country is dangerous and the people are attached, and it is definitely not a place that the general can get; If Xiyue Wuguan enters Chang'an, whether he can break through Wuguan and occupy Chang'an will not matter for a moment, after all, the general is from that side, and he should know how difficult it will be for Ma Teng, Han Zhu and many Qiang people in Guanxi to deal with, even if the general can occupy Chang'an, he will not be at peace. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren lowered his head and took a sip of water slowly, but when he raised his head again, his eyes were locked on Jia Xu: "Wancheng can go straight to Luoyang to the north, but today's Luoyang has long been dilapidated, and it is definitely not a place where troops can be stationed; To the south, Liu Biao of Jingxiang had more than 100,000 armor, many soldiers and a wide range of food, and there was no shortage of first-class strategists and fierce generals under his command, which was not a place where generals could plan. Moreover, the general and Liu Biao have a friendship with the allied forces, and if they invade Jingxiang, it will be a treacherous act and will be despised by the world. As for Cao Gong in the east...... Lu Ren didn't say much. ”

Zhang Xiu's face was quite ugly at the moment, because what Lu Ren said just now was not fooling people, but it was a conclusion that Lu Ren came to after seriously analyzing the current situation based on the information he had. And now Zhang Xiu is indeed like this, he doesn't know where he should go at all. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu said: "Listen to Lu Servant's words, you can't embroider in, so you can only retreat?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled: "General Zhang, you have no way to retreat. You are now in Wancheng and Liu Biao for the time being, although you can temporarily maintain peace, but in terms of the current situation, if you don't plan early, the day of defeat will not be far away. ”

"......" Zhang Xiu frowned tightly and said, "Will Lu Servant shoot too much?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Why does the general think that Lu Ren is alarmist?" Well, if the general is interested in listening, then let Lu Ren explain a thing or two to the general. ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu again, and when he saw that Jia Xu was nodding lightly again, he motioned for Lu Ren to go down and speak directly.

Lu Ren closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes and said, "Let's talk about the general trend first." Maybe the general should also know that the Cao and Yuan families will soon fight for the hegemony of the world, and for the general, who will win and who will lose in this battle for the hegemon can be ignored for the time being, let's just talk about the post-war. ”

"Post-war?" Zhang Xiu was certainly full of suspicions, and even Jia Xu over there was a little interested, wanting to hear how Lu Ren would explain this situation.

Lu Ren put on a thinking posture, but his fingers tapped the center of his eyebrows to activate the chip, turned to some information prepared in advance and said while reading: "Heroes are fighting, the two heroes are holding each other, and what they are fighting for is the hegemony of the world, so no matter who wins or loses in this battle, the winning side will definitely lead the division south to attack Jingxiang after the war." Because of this Jingchu land, according to the Han Dynasty in the north, the South China Sea, the east of Wuhui, the west of Bashu, is the place that must be taken for the cause of the king, and Wancheng is the only way for the northern soldiers to go south to Jingxiang's army, and the general will have to face an army of tens of thousands at that time? ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said this, Zhang Xiu shuddered when he heard this. However, Lu Ren didn't give Zhang Xiu time to take a breath, but immediately said: "The general only has 8,000 steps to ride, and there is nowhere to enter, but he doesn't think about retreating early and sits here, which is the way to take trouble." Because when these two males were fighting, the general was actually unable to do anything because of the small number of soldiers, so he just wanted to wait and see the changes in Wancheng and sit in a neutral state, that is, no one would please or offend, but Cao and Yuan Liangxiong would definitely not think so. If Yuan wins, he will complain that the general does not help him in wartime, and if Cao Gong wins...... I'm afraid that I'm just about to find the general to avenge a few years ago. ”

"This, this ......" A cold sweat began to break out on Zhang Xiu's back.

Lu Ren continued to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "General, I advise you not to count on Liu Jingsheng, because when it comes, I am afraid that Liu Jingsheng himself will not be able to protect himself." In fact, with Liu Jingsheng's strength of more than 100,000 armor, when the two heroes compete, he will be a person who can decide the fate of the world. If he wants to do something, he can take advantage of the disadvantages of the two male rivalries, and it is still unknown who will fall into the hands of the world.

"It's a pity, Liu Jingsheng is just a talker, he doesn't know the general trend of the current situation, he doesn't know the opportunity to fight, and his heart of relying on his situation and sitting and watching is still above the general, and when the time comes, the grievances of Cao and Yuan will be gathered in him, and he will not be neutral. Moreover, Liu Jingsheng's heart has always been suspicious, covering the good and the good but not using it, covering the evil and not being able to go, and in the end he is just a person who will bring disaster upon himself.
