At sunset, Lu Ren was lying somewhere on the camp wall, looking at the tall Xiapi City opposite.

Lu Ren's illness is really not a serious illness if it is put on hold in modern times, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than an acute severe cold caused by wind and cold, plus a little mild pneumonia. However, with the medical knowledge of the Han Dynasty and the relatively rudimentary medical conditions in the army, his illness could not be cured so quickly. But no matter what, Lu Ren is young after all, and his physical fitness is also good, so after five days, Lu Ren's fever has long subsided, and now although there are still some residual symptoms, such as coughing a little badly, there is no major problem in his body.

Originally, Lu Ren wanted to use the self-healing function of physical strength enhancers, but after thinking about it, he was reluctant to use it, after all, it was not a serious illness, it was basically a personal experience, and it was not difficult to treat. Besides, if you have medicine in your hands, you can also use the excuse of being sick to be lazy.

And compared with the previous times when the self-treatment function was used, there is no problem with personal safety now, unlike the previous times when it was in a crisis environment, and it was not possible to use it, so why waste the dose of medicine that is already running out? You must know that the "landing site" that Lu Ren was crossed was in the spring of AD193 in the fourth year of Chuping, but now it is the winter of AD198 in the third year of Jian'an, and after about five and a half years, no matter how sparing it is, it will be used for seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Especially on some fatal occasions, Lu Ren can't just save so much medicine dose but ignore his own little life, right? That's putting the cart before the horse, so when it's time to use it, Lu Ren will never save it. In short, now Lu Ren's dose is only a little more than 20%, and if it is prescribed to twenty times the maximum power, it can only last for about three hours at most.

Speaking of which, Lu Ren's current situation is quite in line with his mentality of being just a sling in modern society. To put it simply and bluntly, ordinary people in modern society, if there is no need, no one wants to walk into the door of the hospital and suffer the butcher's knife in the hospital that is obviously bloody but cannot see the blood. And Lu Ren's "family background" is not much, of course, it is a little bit that can be saved, and there is still a year and a half to say.

However, although Lu Ren's body is no longer in serious trouble, he is still somewhat weak. And he is always stuffy in the camp tent, not to mention that the ventilation is not smooth, the air is not good, and it is also beneficial to the body to walk around properly, so Lu Ren went to the outside of the camp to take a walk. I don't know what kind of mentality it is, Lu Ren went to the camp wall and looked at Xiapi City stupidly.

And under this hope, Lu Ren's mood became a little depressed. It's nothing else, although Cao Jun's camp is a few miles away from Xiapi City, but faintly you can see the blood stains left on the city wall, but there are many corpses scattered at the foot of the city wall. Needless to say, those were all left there by the soldiers of the two armies when Cao Cao stormed Picheng.

Lu Ren has traveled to the present for five and a half years, almost six years, and it is "landing" in such an era, and he himself is a person who has been on the battlefield and has rolled in the pile of dead people. In fact, I have long seen the dead and the dead and the dead, and I have even seen a lot of scenes that are a little more miserable than the scenes I see now.

But the problem is that Lu Ren always avoids seeing such a scene intentionally or unintentionally, always hiding in a safe area in the rear, plus a large period of peaceful and peaceful life, such a scene has been shielded in his mind. It wasn't until today, facing these scenes that he didn't want to face again, that Lu Ren realized that the nerve in his heart that he thought he had been numb was still a little sensitive and fragile, which would make his mood become so low.

Guo Jia didn't know when he came to Lu Ren's side, and saw that Lu Ren had been looking in the direction of Xiapi, but he quietly observed Lu Ren for a while before he said loudly: "Yihao, what are you looking at?" ”

"Huh? Oh, it's Lao Guo. It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I see the bodies of so many dead people abandoned there, and I can't be buried in the ground. ”

Guo Jia sighed, and leaned to the side like Lu Ren: "You kid is still the same, you will be soft-hearted when you encounter something, and it will even make people think that you are a little womanly." ”

Lu Ren smiled abruptly: "The benevolence of a woman? I never set out to do anything big, and a little bit of a woman is not a big deal. ”

“…… You're so open-minded. But fortunately, you are only engaged in agriculture and do not have much to do with warfare and military strategy, otherwise I really don't know how many people would have been killed because of your woman's kindness. ”

"I'm not well yet, so I'm too lazy to have a verbal argument with you."

Guo Jia smiled, then folded his arms and frowned: "Alas, this time the city of Picheng is high and deep, Lu Bu and his soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, and now they are hiding in the city and holding the fortified city, it is really like a turtle whose head has shrunk into a turtle shell, so people have nowhere to start!" ”

Hearing Guo Jia's exclamation, Lu Ren looked at Guo Jia with a little surprise: "This is not like what you would say, you should already have a strategy to break the city, right?" ”

Guo Jia was slightly surprised, because of the strategy of flooding Pi, Guo Jia hadn't told anyone yet, but looking at Lu Ren's appearance, it seemed that he had guessed Guo Jia's thoughts. But Guo Jia's expression did not show anything, but responded with a smile: "Why do you think I have a plan to break the city?" ”

Lu Ren was stunned when he heard this. This guy is not as good as Guo Jia in terms of intelligence, and his illness is not completely cured at this time, and the analysis ability of the brain has also declined, so he didn't see that Guo Jia was pretending at all, but said in his heart Could it be that Guo Jia didn't think of that aspect at this time? After thinking about it again, I thought it was better not to have more mouths, so I shook my head at Guo Jia and said, "I thought you, a guy who is very good at tricking people, came up with some way." But it's useless to be in a hurry, and you can always come up with a way to think slowly. ”

How poisonous is Guo Jia's vision? How could he not see that Lu Ren clearly had a way in his heart, but he refused to say it? What's more, he originally came with the intention of testing Lu Ren, and seeing that Lu Ren had a way, at least he had an idea but refused to say it, Guo Jiake kept his heart. It's just that Guo Jia also misunderstood, the method that Lu Ren knew was originally the method that he Guo Jia came up with, but he mistakenly thought that Lu Ren, a person who had studied art in a strange place, would have his own way to solve the siege of the city.

And as soon as this laughable misunderstanding occurred, Guo Jiake did not plan to let Lu Ren go...... In fact, strictly speaking, Guo Jia's method of flooding Xiapi can only be regarded as a siege from a tactical point of view, and the biggest feature is that Lu Bu cannot break through the siege and those who intend to rescue Lu Bu cannot rescue Xiapi, and to a certain extent, there is also an element of psychological warfare. This tactic is very helpful for breaking through the city, but it takes a corresponding amount of time.

However, Guo Jia also knows very well that in the current situation, of course, the sooner the city is broken, the better, and the longer it drags on, the more variables there will be. And as soon as the flood passes, Guo Jia is also very uncertain when he will be able to capture Xiapi City. It was precisely because of this mentality that Guo Jia wanted to see if Lu Ren, a weird guy, had any other way to break the city as soon as possible.

However, Guo Jia has been friends with Lu Ren for several years, and he knows Lu Ren's personality too well. This guy, the master who gets by a lot of times, unless he wants to move, if he doesn't stab him hard in his chrysanthemum, this guy won't move at all. And if you want this guy to make a move, it's best to get his heart to move first.

Fame and fortune? Guo Jia knew that these seemed to be of little use to Lu Ren, and even Lu Ren was resistant to going to officialdom again. But fortunately, Guo Jia knows the weakness that can make Lu Ren turn passive into active......

"Yihao, we have to fight this battle quickly. If we can't sweep away Lu Bu as soon as possible, we will have to return to the capital of the army. ”

Lu Ren was stunned when he heard this. If this was said by Cao Cao, Lu Ren would not feel strange, because in the original historical process, Cao Cao once had the idea of retiring after besieging Lu Bu because he couldn't capture the city. But Guo Jia said this kind of thing, which is a bit wrong, because the person who persuaded Cao Cao to settle Lu Bu in one breath was Guo Jia.

With such doubts, Lu Ren swept Guo Jia up and down a few times, and then shook his head and said, "But old Guo?" Now is the best chance to kill Lu Bu, once the army is withdrawn and Xu Xu is restored, Lu Bu will recover his strength, and it will be endless troubles. With your Lao Guo's ability, it is impossible not to see such an important matter! ”

Guo Jia said: "Of course I know! But a few days ago, the detailed report from Hebei said that Yuan Shao deliberately wanted to use troops against Xu Du, and if the lord didn't return in time, he would be annoyed. ”

Lu Ren's brows were locked in one place at that time. Originally, I wanted to say that Yuan Shao would not be able to make a move on Cao Cao's Xuchang so soon, at least after more than half a year, but he immediately hesitated. For nothing else, Lu Ren was worried about whether he had caused some butterfly effect that caused Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Chan in advance. And this doesn't seem to be an impossible thing, because Lu Ren has been farming there for a year in Puyang, and Puyang is close to Yuan Shao's territory, so some farming techniques may be learned by Yuan Shao's people. And the increase in yield brought about by effective farming technology can affect Yuan Shao's military strength, and then Lian may defeat Gongsun Chan in advance.

In fact, Lu Ren fell into a small pit dug by Guo Jia for him, you must know that Guo Jiadu told Cao Cao a few days ago that Cao Cao had about half a year to settle Lu Bu. But this can't be blamed on Lu Ren, Lu Ren mainly suffers from the fact that he has no intelligence source, but Lu Ren was idle at home before, not staying in an official position, how can there be any intelligence source? What's more, he doesn't care much about this.

And Guo Jia has been paying attention to Lu Ren's reaction, and seeing that Lu Ren was a little depressed, after a little thought, he smiled at Lu Ren and said, "Yihao, what are you worried about?" ”
