But after saying that Cao Cao didn't know how many circles he had circled around Lu Ren, Lu Ren couldn't help it, and asked Cao Cao, "Cao, why do you look at me like this?" ”

Cao Cao stopped, frowned slightly, and said, "Like, too similar!" ”

Lu Ren was particularly inexplicable: "Like? What's it like down there? ”

Cao Cao took a few steps back, looked at Lu Ren carefully and looked at Lu Ren for a few more moments, stared at Lu Ren's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Yihao, when the lone horse fled to the north gate that night, he was chased by Lu Bu. But by coincidence, Lone's finger just pointed at a person, and when Lone Lin went out of the city gate, he glanced back and saw that person struck the halberd in Lu Bu's hand with a sword...... Yihao, is that person you? ”

"Huh!?" Lu Ren was already furious in his heart at this time, and suddenly Cao Cao said this, and he was immediately shocked, and said that Cao Cao was not just trying to escape for his life at that time? How can you still have time to look back? And he actually saw it so well, and saw the fact that he was flying Lu Bu's halberd.

Cao Cao saw Lu Ren's reaction and was stunned: "It's really you?" ”

No matter how stupid Lu Ren was, he could see Cao Cao's surprise, and immediately secretly shouted in his heart: "That's not right! That day, Lu Bu and I fought directly and were not sure that it was me at that time, Cao Cao was far away, and he just glanced at it in a hurry, and it was impossible to see that it was me at all. It should be the same as Lu Bu, but it feels very similar in terms of body shape, otherwise Cao Cao wouldn't have looked at me like that for a long time just now. His sister, you must not admit this matter, this thing is my life-saving thing, your old Cao saw me fly Lu Bu's halberd, don't use me as a general. ”

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Ren immediately pretended to be stupid in front of Cao Cao. Fortunately, his stunned expression can be explained in many ways: "What are you talking about Cao Gong?" Could it be that Cao Gong thinks that I have the ability to fight with Lu Bu? ”

Cao Cao hesitated: "Then why are you ......?"

Lu Ren hurriedly interrupted Cao Cao's words: "Cao Gong, I was frightened by Cao Gong's words. Don't say it's just a mere matter, what Cao Gong said just now, if you go to the camp and find someone to come out and ask, I'm afraid you will be scared. Lu Bu's martial arts are well-known all over the world, and what kind of powerful person must be a person who can knock his painting halberd away with a long sword? I really want to have that kind of ability, but if I really want to face Lu Bu, I don't have enough for him to stuff his teeth. ”

As Lu Ren guessed, Cao Cao was running for his life at that time, just a quick glance behind him, just thinking that his figure looked very much like Lu Ren, but he couldn't be sure. After all, Cao Cao has not had much contact with Lu Ren so far, so he is not very familiar with it. Moreover, Lu Ren was of very ordinary medium stature, and the too conspicuous scribe's robe on his body when he fought with Lu Bu had already been thrown away, and there were no too obvious features.

Now that Lu Ren used a more reasonable excuse to justify, Cao Cao also felt that Lu Ren was unlikely to have that ability, and most likely he met someone with a similar body at that time. Thinking that it was actually quite embarrassing to have such a misunderstanding, Cao Cao found another topic to bring over: "Lonely and Fengxiao both thought that you had died in Puyang City, but they didn't expect you to be able to escape from the city." Yihao, you don't know martial arts, and you're not good at riding, so how did you escape from Puyang City? ”

Lu Ren pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Cao Gong is going to laugh when he says it...... I first hid in the pile of dead and pretended to be dead, then hid in Tibet when people were unprepared, and finally pretended to be a woodcutter before sneaking out of the city. ”

Cao Cao was happy: "It's not a shameful thing, when he fled from Luoyang City, he also disguised himself as a merchant." That's it, Yihao, it's not easy for you to escape, so I won't ask you more. ”

Lu Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but perhaps out of the idea of being cheap and selling well, Lu Ren asked Cao Cao with a little apprehension: "Cao Gong doesn't suspect that after Lu Bu obtained it, he will be sent to Cao Gong's army?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If you are really meticulous, you will not be able to pass Wen Ruo's level when you return to Juancheng." But why do you ask? ”

Lu Ren scratched his scalp embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that Cao Gong will be suspicious, and then kill me." ”

Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Lu Ren's shoulder: "Yihao, you are indeed a person who is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, but the more you are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the more you tend to know about current affairs." Besides, with your wisdom and insight, where would you not understand who is more worthy of following between Lone and Lu Bu? ”

Lu Renxin said yes! If you want to choose a boss between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, of course, it is better to choose Cao Cao, which is recognized in later generations. And when he thought of this, Lu Ren's mood also relaxed a lot, at least he was no longer as tense as before.

This Cao Cao looked at Puyang City from afar, and said thoughtfully: "I just don't know who the person who shot Lu Bu's halberd that night was...... If Lone can get this person as a general, why is he afraid of Lu Bu's bravery? ”

Lu Renxin said that I will be by your side, but if you want me to go and fight with Lu Bu, it is better to avoid it. It's not just a matter of strength to make a move with a master like Lu Bu, it's like playing a game, if the attack power is high enough, of course it's no problem to clear the small soldiers, but with the boss at the bottom of the level, you have to at least consider the problem of hit rate. In case of a MISS, the big boss will have to kneel with a backhand move.

After looking at Cao Cao for a while, he suddenly turned to Lu Ren and asked, "Yihao, you are also a person with a lot of knowledge, so what should you do if you are in a stalemate with Lu Bu in Puyang City?" ”

"......" Lu Ren was speechless for a long time before he smiled at Cao Cao and said: "Gong Cao, you are embarrassed, you don't understand anything about marching and fighting." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand: "It's okay, I just want to hear the opinions of the generals and strategists." ”

"Well...... this"

Lu Renxin said that he couldn't pretend to be two hundred and five too thoroughly, and Lao Cao had just given himself a promotion and a salary increase and promised to send a little secretary, so he had to behave properly in front of Lao Cao, the big boss. If this is changed to the modern society, it is difficult for small employees to perform in front of the big boss, and it is difficult to have such an opportunity, right?

So, Lu Ren pretended to scratch the itch, quietly activated the chip and began to check the relevant information, and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong asked too suddenly, and he didn't have any preparation in the second half of the time, and let me think about it." ”

Cao Cao nodded, and Lu Ren paced back and forth there. After a long time, Lu Ren finally sorted out some rhetoric, and then said to Cao Cao: "If you don't speak well, please don't blame Cao Gong." ”

Cao Cao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Lu Ren said: "I think that Cao Gong should withdraw from the army, or divide one or even several armies, and try to collect grain and grass as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao let out a "hmm", looking a little noncommittal, but still motioned for Lu Ren to continue. In fact, Lu Ren was not the only one who suggested to Cao Cao to withdraw from the army, and a person who knew how to ask for advice was a person who could let the other party finish speaking.

Seeing this, Lu Ren's heart also relaxed a little, so he pointed to the sky and said to Cao Cao: "Now that the sky is winter, what does Cao Gong think about the weather after the winter this year?" ”

Cao Cao said "um" again, but his eyes were on Lu Ren. Because other generals, strategists, and strategists all said something military when they gave advice to Cao Cao, but only Lu Ren was talking about the weather now, and Cao Cao felt a little inexplicable.

Lu Ren continued: "I have been wandering for many years, and I will more or less look at the weather. In the month that I hid in Chen Liu's place to recuperate, I felt that the weather was unusually dry at the turn of autumn and winter this year, and it almost never rained. Now that it is winter, I think that there will be little rain and snow in the winter in the Qinggon area this year. If this is the case, there is a high probability that there will be a major drought in the spring and summer of next year. If there is no rain for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a locust plague. ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth to Lu Ren curiously: "Yihao, do you know the art of heavenly physiognomy?" But even if he understands the art of heavenly physiognomy, what does it have to do with whether he retreats or not? ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't understand the things of marching and fighting, but I also know that the army has no food and grass, and the battle can't go on." Now look at the winter weather, if there is really a big drought in the spring and summer season next year, the crops in various parts of Gunzhou will fail to harvest, if there is a locust plague because of the long-term drought and locusts, I am afraid that there will be no harvest in the field, whether it is Cao Gong, Zhang Miao, or Lu Bu, where will they go to harvest military rations for war purposes? But thinking about it on the other hand, if Cao Gong had accumulated some more grain and grass in advance now, even if it was only one month more than Lu Bu in Puyang City...... A group of people who have eaten a full meal for a month will not be able to beat a group of people who have been hungry for a month? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "You have some truth in that...... You've just come from Juancheng, and you're tired along the way, right? Go to rest first, and when the grain and grass are handed over, you go back to Juancheng with the team to assist Wen Ruo, don't make the food and grass shortage here. As for the seal of your Ren Bi Cao Pengshi, Wen Ruo will hand it over to you after seeing the letter. ”

“…… Promise! ”

Lu Ren knew that Cao Cao probably didn't listen to what he just said, but when he thought about it, he also felt that what he just said was too mysterious. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern society, it is not very accurate to predict the weather in a few months in advance, but of course the weather within a few days is still possible. If I didn't have ready-made information, I wouldn't have believed the people who listened to these words.

As for things like persuading Cao Cao, Lu Ren wisely didn't do it, and with Lu Ren's character, he wouldn't do that kind of thing. Anyway, now the main thing is to deal with Cao Cao's inquiry, believe it or not is Cao Cao's own business, and he just has fulfilled his responsibilities. If you see the big boss asking about your own affairs, you will desperately behave, and you will talk about this and that endlessly, it will only be annoying, and if you don't do it well, it will be self-defeating. Lu Ren is not stupid, so he won't do such a stupid thing, after all, he still has to eat steadily here with Cao Cao for a few years, but he doesn't want to make Cao Cao's image of himself very bad.
