Lu Ren pretended to send Cao Pi out of the mansion, and as soon as he came back, he saw Lu Lan greeted him with a smile, and said to Lu Ren with a little coquettishness: "Thank you for helping Xiaolan get angry!" This Cao Zihuan, Xiaolan is almost annoyed to death by her! ”

Lu Ren looked Lu Lan up and down and asked, "If this kind of thing happens, won't you hide from your sister Cai?" This is when I came back and ran into it, if I don't come back, you won't suffer a big loss? ”

Lu Lan said: "Sister Cai, she was invited by Kong Shaofu to help test the newly made musical instruments, and she was not at home. ”

Lu Ren nodded. Others invited Cai Yan, Cai Yan may not be able to move, but Kong Rong asked Cai Yan to help, as Kong Rong, Cai Yan couldn't help but give face, but he didn't expect to be exploited by Cao Pi, of course, it is also possible that Cao Pi came because Cai Yan was not there. After thinking about it again, Lu Ren said to Lu Lan: "Why don't you send someone to Meng Village and call Xiaoyu to be your companion?" If anyone dares to bully you, Xiaoyu's skills are not a joke. ”

Lu Lan pouted: "No." If there are adults, you will help Xiaolan. ”

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "You girl...... I can't stay with you forever, don't you know? ”

————————————————————

A few days later, Xuchang Shangshu Lantai was in the office.

"Xun Gong, please take a look."

Xun Yu took the Ling Wen handed over by Lu Ren and looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "It's hard work, it seems that you haven't had a good rest at home these days." ”

Lu Ren smiled very flatly and did not speak.

Xun Yu frowned and admonished: "Others may not know why you are like this, but I know that you are for ...... Yihao, why should a man be like this? There are many women in the world, why is Cai Wenji next to you not a stunning character? As you are now, why are you suffering? ……”

Lu Ren smiled and shook his head: "Xun Gong, don't say these words again, okay?" Besides, it doesn't matter what my purpose is. We all want to defeat Yuan Shao wholeheartedly, and the rest don't have to think about anything. ”

Xun Yu sighed: "You are a person...... That's it, it's going to be the autumn harvest of this year a little later, and then I'll arrange for you to go to the front in the name of transporting grain and grass. I know that if you don't go to the front to fight this battle now, your heart will not be at peace. If your heart is restless, how do you do it? ”

"Thank you, Xun Gong."

After Lu Ren bowed again, he got up and planned to leave the mansion. However, when he turned around and took a few steps, Lu Ren suddenly coughed vigorously, coughing until he bent down, and his expression was also painful. Xun Yu was startled when he saw this. Hurriedly left the table and rushed over to help Lu Ren up, and asked anxiously, "Yihao, are you okay?" If you are sick, rest for a few days......"

Lu Ren first covered his face with his sleeves, and after a while he withdrew his hand to smile reluctantly, but his voice seemed a little weak: "It's okay, it's just a little cold." As he spoke, Lu Ren turned the hand that was covering his mouth behind his back. This action didn't seem to let Xun Yu see anything, but in fact, Lu Ren's hand behind his back was right on Chen Qun in the other seat in the hall.

Chen Qun, as a guy who can make the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", needless to say, the importance of the family reputation concept in his heart is needless to say, so he is ...... to a poor scholar like Lu Ren To be precise, Lu Ren is probably not even a scholar from a cold family. In Xuzhou before, it was not so much that he sold face to Lu Ren, but that he had to sell face to Cao Cao because of the situation. In a word. Chen Qun has always had a lot of criticism of Lu Ren, and he has not reported Lu Ren's style of not practicing inspection, and he usually cares more about Lu Ren's behavior.

It was precisely because of this heart of concern that Chen Qun habitually and naturally raised his eyes to look at Lu Ren. And this glance happened to see the hand that Lu Ren turned behind him. After a closer look, Chen Qun suddenly noticed that the hand that Lu Ren had half-hidden in his sleeve that was tightly rolled into a fist had traces of blood oozing out along his fingers. Startled, Chen Qun did not speak immediately, but whispered the matter in Xun Yu's ear after Lu Ren left the mansion.

After hearing this, Xun Yu could only shake his head and sigh: "Long text." You don't have a relationship with Yihao, and you don't like his style of not practicing inspection, so you don't know who he is. Lu Yihao seems to be cynical and unruly. In fact, he attaches great importance to affection in his heart. Originally, he should have resigned with Wan'er by now, but it was just because of that incident...... With his current temperament, it is useless to persuade anyone, I am afraid that he, a generation of weird talents, will die in the end to the official...... It's a pity, it's a pity!! ”

When Chen Qun heard this, although he nodded abruptly, deep down, he still sneered at Lu Ren. It's no wonder that you Lu Ren was like that for a woman, in the eyes of the scholars at that time, it was simply ...... Don't talk about it.

said that Lu Ren was out of the Shangshu Mansion, and when he remembered the matter of Fang Cai, Lu Ren could only shake his head lightly. There are some lies that must now be remedied by another lie. At the beginning, he said that he "lost Yangshou", but now if there is no movement, but he is still so vigorous, and his name is too unreasonable.

And now there is another reason why Lu Ren is so anxious to go to Guandu, that is, Liu Ye is still staying in Xuchang to help Xun Yu deal with government affairs, and he did not go on the expedition with Cao Cao. And because Liu Ye is still staying in Xuchang, those things have to be corrected and completed by Lu Ren himself.

But it's okay for Lu Ren, because Lu Ren is mainly a civilian official who belongs to Xun Yu's class, and Cao Cao will not take him to the real battle. And if he just stayed in the rear and took care of internal affairs, how could Lu Ren slash Yuan Shang and avenge Wan'er? So Lu Ren now needs a suitable excuse to go to the front line, anyway, Mi Zhen is already secretly doing the relocation of the clan, Lu Ren doesn't have to worry about family affairs, and if he is on the front line, Cao Cao will not notice some of Lu Ren's little tricks in family affairs.

Changing his hand again, he buttoned the blood sac hidden in his hand into his sleeve and hid it, but Lu Ren secretly sneered: "Chen Qun should have seen it, right?" He likes to hit my little report anyway, so I'll take advantage of it. Let Cao Cao know that I have 'not long to live'...... In this situation, I have to make use of all the things I can use, otherwise I won't be able to leave when the time comes......"

————————————————————

talked a lot and was annoying, only saying that Lu Ren was at the head of July, so he took a batch of supplies and went to Guandu. After successfully arriving at Guandu, Lu Ren looked at the more than 200 carts loaded with assembled equipment in the team and nodded vigorously.

Previously, because Lu Ren was transferred to Xuzhou, Mi Zhen asked Mi Zhen to borrow a craftsman to make them for him. In order to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, Lu Ren also specially sent someone to borrow hundreds of cavalry from Zhang Xiu to act as a carriage power, and then these hundreds of cavalry dragged more than 100 carts straight to Guandu. By the evening of the next day, Lu Ren finally rushed to the main battlefield of Guandu with more than 100 carts. Cao Cao knew that Lu Ren had arrived, but he was also in a hurry to come out of the village, and as soon as they met, he said a sentence: "Yihao came just in time!" Recently, Lone has been trapped by the original Tushan Arrow Tower, and he doesn't know how to deal with it......"

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Gong Cao doesn't need to say much, Lu Ren already knows a thing or two." Please take me to the front of the battle to have a look. ”

After a while, Cao Cao led Lu Ren to a position slightly closer to the front, and one of them raised a telescope to look at the main road in the distance. I saw that there were dozens of large and small earth mountains on the opposite side, and a large number of archers stood on the top of the earth mountain. Suddenly, there was a drum sound on the opposite side, and when Cao Cao's guards heard it, they hurriedly raised a row of large shields to protect Cao Cao and Lu Ren. After a few moments, there was a loud thump from the shield.

"Yi Hao, this method was originally used, every day arrows rained down, and the soldiers of our army needed to be protected by shields, and they were very afraid in their hearts. It seems that if it goes on for a long time, there will be chaos, and the official crossing will be lost! ”

Lu Ren was squatting behind the human wall at this moment, looked up at the rain of arrows that crossed the human wall, and sneered at Cao Cao: "Gong Cao, don't worry, I have already brought something." ”

"Huh!?"

The next day, Cao Ying.

Lu Ren was staring at Cao Cao at the moment with a pair of eyes that were red because he had not been able to sleep for several nights. After the salute, Cao Cao's gaze stayed on the huge mechanical device in front of him, which was nearly two Han zhang high, and asked Lu Ren hesitantly, "Yihao, what is this?" What is it for? ”

Since the beginning of last night, he has been busy instructing the sergeants on how to assemble and locate according to the strike point, and now Lu Ren has been busy all night. Coupled with the fact that he had not had a good rest in the first two days of desperately hurrying, Lu Ren's spirit at the moment was a little sluggish. Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry at this time, Lu Ren rubbed his red eyes, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "This thing is called a trebuchet, or it can be called a stone machine." ”

Guo Jiawei behind Cao Cao was stunned, and after a little contemplation, he continued: "Trebuchet? But the 'throwing car' mentioned in the book "Mozi", that is, throwing stones and wood to hurt the enemy? ”

Lu Ren smiled faintly, but nodded a little noncommittally. In the common concept of modern people, it is believed that the stone cart was a large-scale combat weapon that appeared only at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this is not the case. In fact, as early as the Warring States Period, our old Mr. Mozi and his children of the Mo family had developed a throwing mechanical device and successfully applied it to actual combat. However, it may be because of this or that messy factor, Mozi's catapult machinery has not been handed down, and there is not even any relevant record in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Because of Wan'er's death, Lu Ren decided to stay to avenge Wan'er, and when Cao Cao's soldiers sent Guandu, Lu Ren considered that Liu Ye did not go to Guandu with Cao Cao as in history, so he specially visited Liu Ye, hoping that Liu Ye could transfer the stone cart pattern in his hand to Lu Ren. Liu Ye and Lu Ren's personal relationship is not bad, how could Lu Ren know that he had a pattern of a stone cart, and he didn't skimp on anything, so he gave up the pattern generously, and Lu Ren in return, asked Liu Ye to choose a book that Liu Ye was interested in in Lu Ren's study and take it away.
