Chapter 451 Flickering at both ends
Under Zhang Liao's escort, Lu Ren walked back to his camp step by step. recalled for no reason how similar the dream he had at the beginning and how similar it is now, Lu Ren felt that he had to give Cao Cao an explanation at this time, at least, he had to let Cao Cao have some face in front of the generals, and he still had a play to play here.
The musket that killed General Yuan Shao just now was secretly clasped in his sleeve. Although this thing was revealed in Xuzhou at that time, and it also injured the famous little overlord Sun Ce, it was actually not known. At least at least, the people on Cao Cao's side thought that Lu Ren had escaped with his "Dao Law" under Sun Ce's pursuit, but they didn't know that Lu Ren was relying on this advanced weapon.
Although someone saw Lu Ren's musket at that time, there were not many people who followed Lu Ren at that time, and they were all the closest Lu disciples around Lu Ren, so how did they know what the musket was? As long as Lu Ren explained to them a little and then fooled them, they would either not tell Lu Ren's old story, or they would make things a little mysterious according to Lu Ren's ideas.
Lu Ren didn't want to leak the matter of the musket, as for why he had such an idea, Lu Ren himself couldn't say it clearly. Anyway, this kind of life-saving thing is still good for others to think it's a little mysterious. And at this moment, Lu Ren also didn't want people to know his talisman weapon. Just kidding, the telescope he made at the beginning was bought by Lao Cao, so now that he sees the musket in Lu Ren's hand, do you dare to guarantee that Lao Cao will not make up his mind?
In short, with such a mentality, Lu Ren hid the musket in his big sleeve, and his entire right arm put on a posture that had been loosened down and seemed to be unable to lift it again, and returned to the formation under Zhang Liao's escort. Just a few more moments. Lu Ren walked up to Cao Cao. It should have been a salute with both hands, but now Lu Ren just pretended to reluctantly raise his left hand and saluted Cao Cao, and sighed lightly: "Please forgive Cao Gong." Lu Rende met the enemy, and he lost his self-control for a while. If it violates military regulations, I hope that Cao Gong will forgive the crime! ”
This kind of battle is single-handed, and the generals rush up to meet the enemy, what is the sin at all? What's more, Lu Ren won two battles. After coming back, he saved face for Lao Cao, and Cao Cao naturally praised him again with a "righteous hao, what a crime". And after the nonsense was finished, Cao Cao looked at Lu Ren's loose right arm and asked, "Yihao, your right arm ......"
Lu Ren stretched out his hand and rubbed it a few times, and said with a wry smile on his face: "It's not a big deal, but looking at it like this, I'm afraid it will take three days to recover." ”
Lu Ren's "Taoism" and its "sequelae" have always been well-known in Cao Ying, compared to the incident when Lu Ren blew up the Xiapi City Gate. The killing of Yuan Shao's general just now is a bit inadequate, Lu Ren's "sequelae" is much smaller, he didn't vomit blood on the spot and faint again, but just the right arm he used just now will not be able to move for three days, which seems to be reasonable, so Cao Cao's people also understand this. For example, Cao Cao nodded a little abruptly, and said with a smile: "Yi Hao frightened Yuan Shang when he arrived, and then calmly killed the enemy general." There is only merit and no fault. Let's take a break and see how Lone wins this battle. Frustrate Yuan Jun's spirit! ”
Lu Ren answered and walked towards his mount. However, because of the "can't move" relationship of his right arm, Lu Ren can't get on the horse with his left arm alone! In desperation, Lu Ren could only walk back to the camp. When he walked back, Sergeant Cao would consciously give way to the way, and almost all of them had the same look of awe on their faces. On the side of the Yuan army's camp, the look of the Yuan soldier's pawn was also a little afraid, and Yuan Shao and his generals were even more frightened after snatching back the corpse and taking a closer look.
At this time, Lu Ren walked aside. He secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, the sleeves of my dress are big, so I can hide things, otherwise I might have to make a lot of trouble." ”
Of course, Lu Ren's right arm was not really powerless to raise, it was just Lu Ren's fooling action. When he reached the end of the formation, Lu Ren turned around and looked at Cao Jun, who was shouting victorious. Secretly shook his head and said secretly: "It's a pity, it's a shame!" ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Not to mention how Lu Ren rested after he went back, just to say that the battle between the Cao and Yuan families today was just a morale battle between the two sides in a stalemate. To put it mildly, it's not an exaggeration to say that this is a grandiose show battle. In a serious battle, where can a few heads-up games decide the winner?
But no matter what, this morale battle ended with Cao's victory. What the situation in Yuan's camp is not known for the time being, anyway, Cao Ying's side is clamoring to return to the camp, and Cao Cao also ordered the soldiers to be rewarded...... In fact, it is to improve the food for everyone, so that everyone can have a good meal, and it is to let go of eating.
But then again, it was not easy to improve the food in the military in those years, so it was very effective in further boosting morale. Besides, isn't this Lu Ren and Ren Jun just bringing a large amount of grain and grass? Since Cao Cao can afford to eat, of course he will let the soldiers eat happily.
On the side of the middle and upper-class generals, Cao Cao also set up a wine-free banquet to celebrate. After all, this is on the battlefield, and he is facing Yuan Shao, who has too many troops beyond himself, and Cao Cao does not dare to let go too much. No matter how cheerful the generals were, Lu Ren always sat there quietly, so quiet that it was even a little gloomy. And Lu Ren's right arm has been loose there all the time, and he hasn't moved. Occasionally, Cao Cao or others raised their water glasses to Lu Ren to salute, and Lu Ren only raised his left hand to salute in return. Because he can't use chopsticks with his left hand, Lu Ren has to grasp everything directly with his hands. In short, Lu Ren's play was very good.
The banquet dispersed, and Lu Ren returned to the tent. As soon as he washed his hands and sat down, Guo Jia came to him. Asked Zhao Yu to put Guo Jia into the tent and sit down, Lu Ren glanced at Guo Jia a few times and smiled faintly, and found two gourd wines from the rattan box next to the couch with a little effort, handed them to Guo Jia and said, "Dead old Guo, life without wine is not good, right?" Specially reserved for you. ”
Guo Jia took the wine silently, but he shook his head and said, "Stinky boy, do you only regard me as a friend of wine and meat?" ”
Lu Ren smiled: "To be honest, I really feel like this, you said that you ate and drank with me, how much money have you eaten and drunk from me?" ”
Guo Jia sighed softly and said, "Yes, I feel that since you and I met, I have basically eaten and drunk here with you." Although I recommended you to the official career, but now I feel that it has hurt you......"
Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Lao Guo, you want to persuade me to go again, don't you?" ”
Guo Jia uncorked the bottle and took a sip before wiping his mouth and saying, "You and I have known each other for seven years, right?" I can't see how much of your kid's ability is, but I know exactly what your temperament is. What's the use of me advising you now? You won't leave until you don't have Yuan Shang. I'm only afraid that after your revenge, you won't even be able to leave. ”
Lu Ren smiled calmly: "Anyway, I don't have a long time to die, if I can take revenge, at least I can have one less heart disease, and I can die a blind death." ”
Guo Jia sighed: "You kid, I'm a little afraid of you now, because I don't know when you're going to do something terrifying." Just like today in front of the two armies...... Is your right arm okay? ”
Lu Ren glanced at his loose right arm, shook his head and smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's not a forbidden spell I used today, it's just an ordinary Dao method." But because I wasn't good at learning, I was hurt by myself. If my master is a general, I can beat the guy who wants to sneak attack me into a mess. ”
“……”
Guo Jia was silent for a while, and only after a long time passed: "Yihao, I know that it is useless to persuade you now, and you yourself feel that your life is coming to an end." Anyway, you and my brother, the enmity on your body, in case you ...... Alas, anyway, I will definitely do my best to help you report it, so that you can fulfill your heart's wish. ”
Lu Ren stretched out his left hand and patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said, "I'm relieved to have your words." ”
didn't say much about the rest, Guo Jia just drank a few sips of wine and chatted with Lu Ren before leaving. And Lu Ren returned to the tent and sat down after sending Guo Jia away, shook his head and sneered: "I hope it's just that I'm too careful, but Lao Guo came over today to help Cao Cao test me." Alas...... It's hard to pretend that I can't move my arms, but I have to pretend. There are some things that you can't show off too much, you have to keep a few hole cards in your hand......"
When Guo Jia went, it was already late, Lu Ren asked Zhao Yu in the outer tent a few times, and after making sure that there was no one around, he blew out the lights, and then sat on the edge of the tent in a wide coat, and carefully filled the talisman musket with gunpowder and projectiles by the light of the fire reflected in the tent outside the tent. Of course, at this time, Lu Ren's right hand can move.
After dealing with his self-defense weapon, Lu Ren lay down on the couch with peace of mind. Looking up at the round hole on the top of the tent, Lu Ren thought to himself: "The problem now is how to cause Cao Cao to go to the black nest to burn grain...... However, the current situation is a little different, will Yuan Shao still put the grain and grass in the black nest? Is it true that you still have to wait for Xu You to come over and tell Cao Cao where Yuan Shao's grain and grass are placed? Moreover, it is only in mid-August, and Yuan Shao's grain and grass this year have not been mobilized so quickly, and they will have to be transported when they are mobilized......
"Don't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry. However, opportunities are generally something that only comes after patient waiting, but more often than not, you should try to create opportunities on your own. In fact, many times the opportunity has already arrived, but because of your unknowing, you will let the opportunity slip away quietly and fail to grasp it. In contrast, if it is an opportunity created by yourself, you will have a little bottom in your heart, so that it will be easier to grasp the ......" (to be continued......
