Chapter 44 The perspective is different

"There are some things you don't know, and you can't blame you. Let me tell you, if it is other people who come to help Xuzhou at this time, it is okay to say, but it is Liu Bei who comes, then it will be a little troublesome. ”

As soon as Lu Ren heard this, he said in his heart I certainly know that Liu Bei's aid to Xu is a trouble for Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's real trouble at this time is not on Liu Bei, but on Chen Gong and Lu Bu. And judging from historical data, Cao Cao at this time actually didn't take Liu Bei seriously, so Lu Ren didn't understand why Guo Jia was like this.

Guo Jia saw Lu Ren's blank face, smiled and explained to Lu Ren: "The biggest problem in Xuzhou now is that there are soldiers who are good at fighting, but there is no future commander who is good at fighting. And this Liu Bei has been quite successful since the crusade against the Yellow Turban, he is brave and able to fight, and his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei are also fierce generals with outstanding martial arts. ”

Lu Renxin said I know! Although Liu Bei had never been able to defeat Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi, he did not make Cao Cao suffer a lot, Liu Bei really lost because he started late and did not have a good strategic goal, and then he was much worse in terms of strategy.

At this time, Guo Jia continued: "And I am still worried about one thing, that is, this Liu Bei has abandoned his official position several times and changed his vote several times, and this time he has come to Xu to help Xu here, if Tao Qian treats Liu Bei very well, then this Liu Bei is very likely to switch to Tao Qian's command." At that time, Xuzhou wants grain and food, soldiers and generals, and it will no longer be a place where it can be easily plotted. If the lord can't take Xuzhou as soon as possible, then he can only return to Gunzhou and wait for the times to change. ”

Lu Ren secretly praised Guo Jia in his heart, and said that Guo Jia was a very poisonous guy who looked at people, and he could see that Liu Bei was a ...... so early At best, it is said that he has the ambition of a hero and is unwilling to be subservient to others; At worst, it's the N surname that is repeatedly difficult to raise.

However, when he heard the words "return to Gunzhou", Lu Ren hesitated slightly, and wanted to say his words a little, but after thinking about it, he decided not to speak nonsense, so he was sloppy in front of Guo Jia: "In this case, Lao Guo, you will persuade Cao Gong to attack the city quickly!" ”

Guo Jia sighed: "You think I don't want to? But one is that Liu Bei set up a camp outside Tancheng City, and Tancheng became a corner, and when the lord led the army to attack the city, it would be interfered with, and the siege war would be a lot of trouble; The second is two days, two days later, the lord's siege equipment and craftsmen will be here, and the soldiers who were sent to plunder grain and grass everywhere can come back, so now you have to stabilize Liu Bei first, play with him before the soldiers, and wait for the equipment, soldiers, horses, and grain and grass to arrive before they can march into the siege. If you don't wait for this, you will only increase the number of casualties. ”

Lu Renxin said that he had to wait for two more days, and then when would Cao Cao besiege Tancheng and take Tancheng down? Counting the travel time from Juancheng in Gunzhou to here, Lu Ren shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that there is no need to look at it, it is strange that Cao Cao can defeat Xuzhou this time, unless Cao Cao does not want his old nest Gunzhou. But it is impossible to be Cao Cao's person, so I still honestly go to the camp and wait for it these days.

Guo Jia looked at Lu Ren and always felt that Lu Ren's reaction was a little weird now, so he asked, "Yihao, have you thought of something?" ”

Lu Ren lowered his head and pondered for a moment, feeling that it should be okay to talk to Guo Jia about some things now...... The main reason is that those words have been holding back in my heart a little uncomfortable, so after wording his words, Lu Ren also put on a thoughtful look and said: "When you said just now that Kong Rong couldn't be killed, I also remembered it...... I always felt that Cao Gong shouldn't have killed Bian Rang. ”

"Shouldn't you kill Bian Jean?" Guo Jia was slightly surprised, and asked with a little curiosity: "I admit that it is too much for the lord to kill Bian Rang, but it is a necessary act of authority." Besides, Bian Rang doesn't have such a good reputation as Kong Rong, so if he kills, he will kill him, it's not a big deal, right? ”

Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders: "You know what I can do, if I want to make it completely clear, I can't do it myself." Well...... Let's put it this way, Lao Guo, think about it carefully, Cao Gong has been famous since he raised his army, but this 'prestige' seems to be all military merits, but I haven't seen Cao Gong have any courtesy and virtuous corporal behavior, right? ”

"Huh!?" Guo Jia was stunned at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really like what Lu Ren said, Cao Cao had only fought so far, but he had never seen Cao Cao do anything about Corporal Lixian.

On the other hand, Lu Ren, he doesn't want to be the kind of fool who only knows it but doesn't know why, of course, the most important thing is that he is afraid that when he wants to say these words one day, if there is no reasonable explanation, he may let Cao Cao give an order to push it out, so these days Lu Ren has repeatedly revised these statements according to historical materials, which can be said to be absolutely full of secret preparations.

Seeing that Guo Jia nodded to him in agreement, Lu Ren continued with what he had just said: "You and I both know that Cao Gong was born in a eunuch family, and Cao Gong's behavior when he was young was too laissez-faire/bohemian, so he has always been looked down upon by those who pretend to be clean streams. Now Cao Gongwei's reputation is greatly enhanced, and all that can be shown in the world is the exploits of conquest, and he has not done it...... Or it can be said that you didn't have time to do anything about Corporal Lixian, so Lao Guo, what kind of person do you think Cao Gong is in the eyes of ordinary people? ”

Guo Jia hesitated: "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Ren said: "What I mean is that in the eyes of ordinary people, it is likely that Cao Gong will be regarded as a reckless hero who values martial arts and ignores literature, and only knows how to fight with martial arts but does not know how to rule the world with literature, as if those literati are afraid that they will treat Cao Gong like this, and even compare Cao Gong to a character like Xiang Yu." What are the characteristics of Xiang Yu? Brutal and excessive, he only knew about conquest but did not know how to compensate, and treated literati as if they were nothing, killing and poking at will, so that almost everyone around Xiang Yu was in danger, and in the end, there were countless defectors. Cao Gong is now blindly conquest, and he has not adopted a better policy of tenderness in dealing with literati, but has not talked about the slightest affection for killing and poking. So I'm a little worried that those literati around Cao Gong will also have a sense of self-endangerment if they don't do it well, and then they will ......."

That's all it takes to say that, Guo Jia is a smart person among smart people, so he will naturally understand what Lu Ren wants to express. After Guo Jia listened to Lu Ren's words, his brows tightened a little, and the people also turned back and forth in the tent. After a long time, Guo Jiacai said to Lu Ren: "I have always asked myself if I have the ability to know people, but in this kind of thing, I can't think as far-reaching. It's just my righteous brother......"

Saying that, Guo Jia suddenly looked at Lu Ren, and his voice was a little cold: "I've been with you for a long time, and I still see you a little through." Fang Cai's remarks, you are by no means a momentary understanding, but you have been thinking about it in your heart for a long time. Yihao, Yihao, what do you want me to say about you? Didn't I tell you? Sometimes you have to dare to speak out, be able to speak out, if you are worried about angering the lord, isn't there still me? You didn't dare to speak to your lord, so why couldn't you have said it to me earlier? ”

"Uh......!" Lu Ren involuntarily took a step back, and he had the urge to reach out and slap himself. What am I doing? Playing tricks with smart people like Guo Jia, I'm really full, and I really think the ancients are brainless people? Those who have no brains are primitive people!

Guo Jia glared at Lu Ren fiercely for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Although what you just said is a bit alarmist, it must be guarded against. If you let me stay here honestly now, I will go to the lord to make a message, and persuade the lord to write to Wen Ruo who stayed in Juancheng immediately, and ask Wen Ruo to pay more attention to the movements of the literati in the counties under his rule. ”

Lu Renxin said that it was probably too late to go now, maybe Chen Gong had already hooked up with Lu Bu. However, Lu Ren didn't dare to say this anymore, just laughed dryly twice, and saw Guo Jia hurry to Cao Cao.

After that, Cao Cao didn't look for Lu Ren, it seems that Guo Jia should have thought about Lu Ren's thoughts, and didn't say that those things were proposed by Lu Ren. Lu Renzhi was also happy about this, and still sat behind the camp in a daze every day.

Two days later, Cao Cao's siege equipment and craftsmen arrived with the army, and the food grabbing team also returned to the camp one after another. In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought several battles in a few days, and each won or lost. Lu Ren still sat honestly in the back camp, waiting for the arrival of the Gunzhou messenger.

Finally on this day, Lu Ren finished eating the daytime food of the two meals a day in the Han Dynasty, and then ran to the Houzhai gate to find a shady place to sit down, looking at the road to the west in a daze. I was bored and chose a funny movie that I didn't know how many times I watched it, and when I saw half of it, Lu Ren suddenly heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves in the distance, and hurriedly turned off the chip to concentrate on the prestige, and after a while, Lu Ren saw several Cao soldiers who were in the wind and dust and covered in blood and went straight into the camp. Seeing these Cao soldiers, Lu Ren smiled and shook his head and stood up, secretly saying in his heart: "It's finally time to wait...... What should come is always coming. Alright, let's go back to the tent and pack our bags, although there is nothing to pack. ”

In this way, when Guo Jia hurried back to his account from Cao Cao, he saw Lu Ren slowly packing up the things he was going to use on the road. Guo Jia was only slightly stunned, then shook his head at Lu Ren and sighed: "Stinky boy, everything has been said by you." Dongjun Chen Gong secretly connected with Zhang Miao and colluded with Lu Bu, so that the entire Gunzhou was opposed, and only Fanxian, Dong'e, and Juancheng were designed by Lai Wenruo and Zhongdegong to save their lives...... Yihao, you are telling me, did you expect this? ”

Lu Ren had already guessed that Guo Jia would definitely ask this question when he came back, so he turned his head unhurriedly, glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Are you a god or an immortal?" I really wish I could have that ability, at least I don't have to worry about it all day long. In fact, Lao Guo, your temper is similar to mine, but the way you deal with people is far from it. You are a person who wants to achieve something, and you tend to think about things from a utilitarian perspective. And I'm a greedy person who is afraid of death, and I often think about things from the aspect of whether I can ensure my own safety, and it is normal for us to see some different things, right? ”

Guo Jia was a little speechless for a while, and after laughing a few times, he handed a roll of bamboo slips to Lu Ren: "Okay, don't clean it up, I made a good deal for you." ”
