In fact, it was not a big deal for Cao Cao to call Lu Ren over.

Now that Lu Bu is surrounded in Xiapi, the most important thing at the moment is to guard against the alliance between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, after all, these two goods have been separated and combined several times, and there were even children's marriage contracts before...... Although it was destroyed by Chen Deng's old bean.

So now, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to lead his headquarters to block the road in Huainan, after all, Liu Bei has been mixed here in Xuzhou for several years, at least he is familiar with the mountain and river road environment or something, and he has a convenient location. And calling Lu Ren over was to ask Lu Ren to arrange the money, food, and military supplies that Liu Bei's troops needed.

Originally, there was no need to call Lu Ren to deal with this kind of matter, but out of consideration for the speed of the soldiers, Liu Bei's troops of course had to go to the corresponding location as soon as possible to deploy the troops, and now they were waiting for this batch of grain and grass to be delivered. In other words, Lu Ren just caught up with this thing.

At this time, Cao Cao's quartermaster here did not have time to count and distribute the grain and grass and military supplies sent by Lu Ren, and they might miss the time when they completed the inventory and distribution. In contrast, these things are all handled by Lu Ren, and he knows the quantity, accounts, and so on, and the person happens to be here, so simply let Lu Ren deal with this matter. To put it simply, it's nothing more than to save time.

"Yihao, you will be tired again, and directly allocate the grain and grass needed in the Xuande army to him. One should consider the chores at their own discretion, and there is no need to return to the lonely. ”

"No!"

Lu Ren responded, and said in his heart, that's it? But then again, since Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, it was not easy for him to reunite with the remnants of the defeated army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and as for the territory, I don't know how long it has been lost, and there is no corresponding economic source at all. At this time, Liu was entrusted by Cao Cao to guard the Huainan Road, and he really had to rely on Cao Cao's support for money and food.

Liu Bei, who had been sitting quietly on Cao Cao's left hand, glanced at Lu Ren a few times, thought for a while, and suddenly bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said: "Cao Gong, Bei thought that he could order Guan, Zhang Erjun and Gongyou (Sun Qian's character) to lead a foot horse to the intersection to set up a camp in case of accidents, and Bei Ze and Mr. Lu came after calculating the grain and grass. Moreover, Bei is also a little selfish, the previous time Bei fled to Xudu alone, if it wasn't for Mr. Lu's timely rescue, Bei was afraid that he would have starved to death in the suburbs. I wanted to thank Mr. Lu several times, but unfortunately Mr. Lu was often not at home......"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei, then at Lu Ren, and waved his hand very generously: "That's it, according to Xuande's intentions." Yihao, you have always been undisciplined, but you must not lose your manners in front of Xuande, and you will be treated with loneliness. ”

In fact, Cao Cao will be so generous because Guo Jia had told Cao Cao before that Lu Ren was deliberately avoiding Liu Bei at that time, it seems that Lu Ren has always been so disgusted with Liu Bei, so Cao Cao is still more at ease with Lu Ren.

Switching to Lu Ren's side, Lu Ren of course frowned slightly. In fact, Lu Ren didn't have any dislike for Liu Bei, but he just didn't want Cao Cao to misunderstand what he and Liu Bei had, after all, once Lu Ren didn't handle this matter well, he might not be able to live in peace. But now that it was Cao Cao's order, Lu Ren could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

"What are you doing? I also thought about the ground, and I got some good sleep first......"

――――――――――――――――――――

The matter of allocating grain and grass was not troublesome in Lu Ren's hands.

Just like Cao Cao said, how much grain and grass was transported and how long it could be eaten by how many people could eat, Lu Ren knew very well in his heart. After leaving the account with Liu Bei, ask questions such as how many people Liu Bei has under his command and how long it will take, and then Lu Ren casually calculated how much money to take and pay for manpower to deal with it quickly. There were a lot of words and annoying, and it was about eight o'clock in the evening, when Lu Ren and Liu Bei escorted the grain and grass to leave the main village of Cao Jun and go to the Huainan intersection.

Liu Bei deliberately wanted to have more contact with Lu Ren, so on this road, Liu Bei always kept talking to Lu Ren. Although Lu Ren was annoyed by this, he could only make false promises to the snake, after all, the face that should be given still had to be given.

However, while talking, Lu Ren also remembered a few important things, and reminded Liu Bei that he must be careful at the intersection of Huainan Road, for example, there was a marriage contract between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and once Lu Bu was in a critical situation, he would definitely think of sending his daughter to Yuan Shu in exchange for Yuan Shu's support. After Liu Bei heard it, of course, he took it seriously and wrote it down.

There was nothing else to do, when Lu Ren and Liu Bei walked to the same place, Lu Ren calculated that the trip back to the village should be in time to go back to sleep and bid farewell to Liu Bei, even though Liu Bei wanted to talk to Lu Ren a few more words, but he had no choice but to say goodbye. After they separated, Lu Ren thought that he had finally gotten rid of Liu Bei's entanglement, and a secret atmosphere grew. This is calculated as time, he doesn't have to stay long in this era, and he really doesn't want something extraneous to happen at this time.

Raising his eyes and looking around at the thirty or so Lu disciples around him, Lu Ren raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Lu Bu's camp, couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin, and said secretly in his heart: "Lao Guo said that Cao Cao was going to attack Lu Bu's camp tonight, and Cao Cao just asked Liu Bei to divide his troops out at this time...... Oh? Got it, sneak attack! On the surface, the division of troops was to distract Lu Bu's attention and prepare for a sneak attack. It's almost two o'clock in the morning, and it's the best time to sneak up at night, and the fight is about to start over there......"

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren instructed the Lu clan disciples to speed up their pace and rush back to the camp as soon as possible. The fight was about to start, but they were still hanging outside, and if some stragglers came by, something might happen.

There's nothing to say, hurry up! When Lu Ren and the others hurried to the Surabaya tributary, they saw Lu Bu's camp in flames from a distance, and it seemed that they had already fought. Seeing this, Lu Ren didn't say much, but just told his disciples to speed up and rush back to the camp. There is no way, for Lu Ren, a person whose strength and command may not exceed thirty, of course, he can avoid as far as he can.

In a hurry, Lu Ren suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Because Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu's camp secretly, looking at the previous firelight, Cao Cao's sneak attack should have been successful, and most of the sparks should be concentrated in Lu Bu's camp. But now when I look over, I find that the firelight is scattered in all directions, so much like Cao Cao's soldiers were beaten out by Lu Bu.

"Could it be that Cao Cao's sneak attack failed? No matter what, let's go back to the camp and talk about it! ”

This made Lu Ren have a sense of crisis, and he accelerated his speed again to rush to the camp. It's just that he didn't drive out for a long time, and when Lu Ren looked at Lu Bu's camp again, his head buzzed several times louder, because a lot of firelight was "floating" in his direction, and even the sound of messy and heavy footsteps and horses' hooves could be heard in his ears.

"Holy! Is there a mistake? Why am I so unlucky? It's not good for these people to drift somewhere, but they want to float to me!? ”

At this moment, Lu Renke was really panicked, and hurriedly turned around and said to the twenty Lu disciples who were following him on foot: "The situation doesn't seem to be right!" Hurry up, if we run into a defeated soldier and scatter us, something will happen! ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, these Lu family disciples all understand the situation, and someone hurriedly said at the moment: "The head of the family has a horse to take the first step, don't think of us!" ”

Lu Ren was really polite: "Then be careful yourself, avoid it if you can, I'll hit the horse back to the camp first!" ”

After saying that, Lu Ren immediately arched his hand, and the horsewhip was whipped down on the horse's buttocks. Under the pain of the mount, he immediately ran wildly, and in an instant, Lu Ren had already run away. It's just that this wild run is going crazy, but Lu Ren didn't hear the urgent calls of the Lu family disciples behind him:

"Master, the direction is wrong! It's a ...... to the shore of Surabaya."

――――――――――――――――――――

As soon as Lu Ren's grain and grass arrived in Xiapi, Cao Cao immediately ordered the transfer of grain and troops, and it was cut off from Huainan and Shandong, and the movement on the surface was very big, and it was clear that he was telling Lu Bu "I want to besiege you", and these things seemed so natural in general, but as Lu Ren suddenly understood on the way back to the village, Cao Cao deliberately made the movement so big, in fact, he also wanted to create an illusion that Lu Bu would not be in a hurry to attack the city for the time being, in order to make Lu Bu relax his vigilance, Create certain favorable conditions for the sneak attack on Lu Bu's camp tonight.

It's just that although Cao Cao's trick can fool Lu Bu, he can't fool Chen Gong. After receiving a detailed report from Xizuo about Cao Ying's movements, Chen Gong quickly judged Cao Cao's true intentions and sent someone to urgently inform Lu Bu to make preparations as soon as possible. Based on Chen Gong's understanding of Cao Cao, it was concluded that Cao Cao would definitely personally lead his troops to attack at night.

In fact, most of the candidates in those years would personally lead the troops into battle, but they would take the lead, and the only ones who rushed to kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce were Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce, and of course Lu Bu was the same. And in this case, if you can seize the opportunity, set up an ambush to lure Cao Cao into the shortlist and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop, then any big and small problems on Lu Bu's side can be directly solved.

As for Cao Cao, although he is resourceful, he is a human being and not a god after all. As far as the historical records are concerned, Cao Cao thought he had a plan, but the result was that there have always been many things that have planted a big heel, and this night attack is nothing more than an extra heel at best. It's just that according to the general situation on the battlefield at that time, if Cao Cao led his troops directly into Lu Bu's camp, he would probably be completely ambushed, and if he didn't make a good scene, he would even die on the spot.

It should be said that the current thing is the butterfly effect brought about by Lu Ren, an outlier figure, and there is no such thing in the original historical process, so in a sense, Cao Cao was pitted by Lu Ren. But things are often so funny, Lu Ren indirectly cheated Cao Cao, but Cao Cao "seized" a telescope from Lu Ren's hands. This thing, which should not have appeared in this era, played a huge role at this critical moment, allowing Cao Cao to escape......
