"Alas...... Brother Chang, you may not believe what I said. But whether you believe it or not, remember not to tell other people in Tancheng City, otherwise it will lead to some trouble, and it will become me harming you. ”

Why do you say these words? In fact, no matter how stupid Lu Ren is, he also knows that no matter what era he is, many words must not be said nonsense. Especially in the turbulent era of the late Han Dynasty, if you dare to say some things nonsense, it will be a matter of minutes to lose your life.

Then why was Lu Ren going to say something to Xun Li? What "at first sight, heart-to-heart friendship" is all! Lu Ren and Xun Li have only known each other for a day and a night, as a modern person with a strong sense of self-defense, Lu Ren will not easily say some words that are likely to be fatal to Xun Li, who has only known each other for a day and a night, and can only be regarded as a relatively talkative one. Lu Ren's real purpose is that he has his little Jiujiu in his heart.

First of all, Lu Ren considered that Xun Li was not only not a native of Xuzhou, but also a member of Xun Yu, an important adviser under Cao Cao, and what he was going to say next was obviously beneficial to Cao Cao and Xun Yu, so in Xun Li's position, of course, he would be on Cao Cao's side or Xun Yu's side, not Xuzhou's side.

Secondly, once the soldiers are frightening, they will often be indistinguishable, and the warring parties will inevitably become enemies. From this point of view, Xun Li studied in Xuzhou, and he might die in the hands of Cao Bing in a daze, and if he reminded Xun Li and let Xun Li avoid the military disaster, he would become a life-saving grace for Xun Li; Taking a step back, Xun Li is preparing to go to Zheng Xuan to study, and he should be able to avoid the direct disaster of the army, but as a clansman of Xun Yu, a minister under Cao Cao, he is also easily suspicious of the local people in Xuzhou once the military revolution passes, and it is not impossible to even regard Xun Li as a fine work sent by Cao Cao to Xuzhou, and Lu Ren reminded Xun Li at this time, so that Xun Li could avoid an unwarranted disaster in advance, and he was still kind to Xun Li.

So what's the use of being kind to Xun Li? That's a bit of nonsense. Lu Ren isn't planning for his future! Shirley has not been able to contact Lu Ren there, so he has already prepared for the worst, so after escaping the catastrophe of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, is it true that Lu Ren is here in Xuzhou to live by chopping wood for a lifetime?

As a traverser, Lu Ren must have some thoughts in his heart. Fortunately, Lu Ren is a very self-aware guy, and he knows very well which of the thoughts in his head are purely YY, and which are a little possible. And now he is gracious to Xun Li, so when Xun Li returns to Xun Yu, it means that Lu Ren has a place to rely on. With his own skills, he may not be able to be an official, and Xun Yu is unlikely to recommend a person like Lu Ren, but it should be no problem to be a small official when he has the opportunity. Not to mention anything else, with the calculator and recording ability in Lu Ren's chip, there is really no one who can beat him when he was a warehouse official (warehouse keeper) in the late Han Dynasty.

All in all, it was precisely because of these considerations that Lu Ren decided to leak the "Heavenly Machine" to Xun Li. And Xun Li's expression became solemn after hearing Lu Ren's words, because he realized that Lu Ren would never be bragging now: "Yihao, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and I will never say that others know." ”

Lu Ren looked around again before he said to Xun Li: "Brother Changzhi, it's not that I'm scaring you, it's not that I'm being alarmist, I can only tell you that Xuzhou is about to be in trouble." And you don't want to study here in Xuzhou anymore, leave Xuzhou as soon as possible, it is best to go to Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, so as not to distinguish between jade and jade in the military revolution. ”

Xun Li was stunned on the spot, and only after a long time did he hesitate to say: "Why did Yihao say this?" ”

Lu Ren knew that the opening words just now should have hooked Xun Li, so the next words could be said slowly: "Brother Chang, do you know who is the person who made such a big show and went out of the city just now?" ”

Xun Li shook his head: "Originally, I wanted someone to ask, but when I saw that your expression changed greatly, I didn't care about it." ”

Lu Ren said: "It was the father of Cao Gong of Gunzhou who went out of the city just now, Taiwei Cao Hao. Cao Taiwei passed through Xuzhou a few days ago, and was invited by Tao Fujun to stay in Tancheng for a few days, and he didn't get back on the road until today. ”

Xun Li said: "It's nothing, right? ”

Lu Ren said: "It would be nice if there was really nothing." As far as I know, Tao Fujun made such a big pomp to bid farewell to Taiwei Cao, and his original intention was nothing more than to make friends with Cao Gongxuan, who has been quite famous recently. Now that Captain Cao is about to go on the road, Tao Fujun also specially sent 500 soldiers to escort him, and his courtesy can be seen. This is all a good thing, but Tao Fujun sent no one well, but he sent a lieutenant Zhang Min to lead the troops to escort him, this time it is difficult not to make a big incident! ”

Xun Li raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with Zhang Min?" ”

Lu Ren lowered his head and sorted out his thoughts before saying: "As far as I know, this Zhang Min was originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and he reluctantly surrendered to Tao Fujun in order to survive when the army was defeated. This person's thief heart has not changed, although he is now a lieutenant under the account of Tao Fujun, but for him, he can barely make ends meet, but he can't get any benefits. And such a thief will not let go of any opportunity to make money, so I will say that this time Tao Fujun sent him to escort Cao Taiwei's family is really a non-person...... Brother Chang, you have also seen it, there are more than 100 frames of Taiwei Cao, and anyone can see that his family is extremely rich, and it is strange that a person like Zhang Min who has not changed his thief heart does not move on the road. Isn't this kind of thing too common in these years? ”

Xun Li was shocked: "You mean that Cao Gong's family will all die at the hands of Zhang Min?" ”

Lu Ren nodded: "As soon as Captain Cao dies, Duke Cao will definitely send troops to Xuzhou and raise troops to hate." ”

Xun Li frowned, shook his head lightly, and said, "Not necessarily, right?" If Taiwei Cao really died at the hands of Zhang Min, but the fault was Zhang Min, Tao Gongzu could only be regarded as an unintentional mistake. If Cao Gong raised troops to attack Xuzhou because of this, it would be a little inconsistent with reason......"

Lu Ren had long expected that Xun Li would say such a thing, although he was a little complacent in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, but pretended to sigh and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chang, the things in this are far from being as simple as you think!" ”

Xun Li's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "What do you say about this?" ”

Lu Ren said: "In the past, I heard that Xu Zijiang commented on Cao Gong as 'a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times', which is true in my opinion. The ambition and ambition in Cao Gong's heart are not something that people like us can understand. How so? Cao Gong has the ambition of Wang Ba (deliberately said wrong), and what he wants in his heart is the whole world, how can he be satisfied with only sitting on the small Qingzhou and Gunzhou? ”

Xun Li secretly took a breath of cool air and dried Lu Ren again. Although he had already vaguely seen that Lu Ren was definitely not a simple poor woodcutter, he didn't expect Lu Ren to say such a thing at this time: "Brother Yihao, you...... Have you seen Cao Gong? ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "Where will I, a woodcutter in the mountains, have the opportunity to meet Cao Gong?" To be honest, these are all inferences I have deduced from what Cao Gong has done in the past. We won't talk too much, I just said that Cao Gong will definitely fight Xuzhou, because if Cao Gong wants to develop his strength, only Xuzhou can fight at the moment. ”

Xun Lidao: "Why did Yihao identify Xuzhou instead of other places? ”

At this time, Lu Ren was still quite complacent, because he used to often argue with his friends on the forum about some issues related to the Three Kingdoms, and there were many people who agreed with some of his views, which could be regarded as a small achievement, and now he also had some meaning to show to Xun Li: "Because the other three directions Cao Gong can't fight at the moment." Jizhou in the north is occupied by Yuan Benchu, and the reputation of the fourth and third dukes is not a joke, so Yuan Benchu has gathered a large number of talents, and Jizhou is rich, Yuan Benchu has already been a soldier and has enough food, this kind of strength is not something that Cao Gong can afford at the moment. Taking a step back, Cao Gong and Yuan Benchu were originally close friends, and when there was no conflict of interest between the two of them, they would not turn their faces. After all, they must have a common enemy on the bright side, and that is Dong Zhuo...... Oh, now I have to say that it is Dong Zhuo's old remnant party. ”

Xun Li's words made Xun Li's heart secretly surprised, and his eyes looking at Lu Ren also changed again and again. Perhaps afraid that he would lose his temper, Xun Li glanced at Lu Ren for a few moments and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Then ...... What about the west and south sides of Cao Gong? ”

Lu Ren shook his head and smiled: "In the west, what is the point of occupying Luoyang, the eastern capital that has been burned to ruins and scorched earth, and has long been deserted?" Of course, Luoyang will still be a treasure if it can be rebuilt, but Cao Gong does not have so many manpower and material resources at the moment, and second, Dong Zhuo's old party department is still in Chang'an, and Cao Gong's strength alone cannot cope with it now. So don't say that Cao Gong is fighting in the west, it's already very good that Dong Zhuo's old department in the west doesn't come over. ”

"What about the south side?"

"To the south is Yuan Highway, he is not much different from Yuan Benchu's situation, and his strength is also very strong at present. And now no matter which one of these two Yuan moves, the other will definitely send troops to help, who will make them brothers of the same clan? And Cao Gong's territory is just sandwiched between the two Yuan......" Speaking of this, Lu Ren suddenly remembered that he seemed to have gone too far, and swallowed back the latter sentence "Although these two Yuan will fall out sooner or later, it won't be now".

Xun Li nodded for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, it seems that if Cao Gong wants to develop his strength, there is indeed only Xuzhou to fight...... It's just that Tao Gongzu has a clear reputation as a benevolent gentleman in the world, and if Cao Gong rashly attacks him, he will definitely damage his reputation, and he will also lose the name of righteousness, and maybe it will arouse the anger of the people. If the candidates who were friendly with Tao Gongzu rose up and attacked it, Cao Gong might not be able to resist it, if Qing and Yan were lost, wouldn't Cao Gong lose more than he gained? In Yi Hao's view, what good strategy does Cao Gong intend to take as the best for attacking Xu Dang? ”

Lu Ren laughed and said, "Brother Chang, you seem to have made a mistake, right?" I'm just explaining to you that Cao Gong will definitely use the name of killing his father to rush to Xuzhou, why do you ask me how Cao Gong should fight Xuzhou? If I knew how to fight, how to plan or lead the troops to fight, would I still need to be a little woodcutter here in Xuzhou to make a living? ”

After a pause, Lu Ren continued: "If you want to ask me whether Guild Cao will attack Xuzhou as I said, I can only tell you that Duke Cao is a peerless hero, and a peerless hero will never let go of any opportunity to expand his strength." As long as you can strengthen your strength, what does it matter if you lose face and infamy? It's really not good, he can also deduce that he has lost his mind because of the pain of his father's hatred...... Brother Chang, maybe I should remind you that now is a troubled time, and in this troubled world, grabbing the territory and firmly grasping it in the palm of your hand is the last word! ”
