Holding the letter written by Liu Bei in his hand, Lu Ren spun around in the study. It is said that this matter is not a difficult thing for Lu Ren, because even if Lu Ren does not come forward, Cao Cao will definitely have some movement here. But now that the matter has inexplicably spread out to his head, Lu Ren feels that he still has to talk to Cao Cao.

If this kind of thing is concealed from Cao Cao, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Because according to the current trend of the current situation, it is impossible for Liu Bei to withstand Lu Bu's next moves, so it is basically doomed that Liu Bei will come to Cao Cao. And Cao Cao treated Liu Bei very kindly during that period, in case Liu Bei said that he had asked him to say hello to Cao Cao, but he was afraid of trouble and didn't tell Cao Cao, what would Cao Cao do when he looked back? There are still about three years to go back, and Lu Ren really doesn't want to cause any trouble in these three years.

However, Lu Ren also knew that it was best to make corresponding preparations and explanations for this matter, after all, he had done something that had something to do with Liu Bei at the beginning, and it would also be very troublesome if he didn't explain it clearly and make Cao Cao suspicious. And after thinking about it carefully, Lu Ren went out with Liu Bei's letter.

When Lu Ren came to Cao's mansion to ask for a meeting, Cao Cao had already dispersed here, and Cao Cao only left Guo Jia to drink and sit in the backyard. After Lu Ren met, he handed the letter to Cao Cao without saying a word, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia were happy when they saw it.

Cao Cao smiled: "Yihao, you have handed over this kind of letter to Gu, are you afraid that Gu will be suspicious of you?" ”

When you should be single, you have to be single, this is one of Lu Ren's principles in life: "That's right. I just want to live my little life in peace, and I really don't want to have anything to do with these messy things. When he was in Xuzhou, he had some involvement with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei could be called one of Cao Gong's opponents. If you don't say these words clearly, if Cao Gong is suspicious of Zaixia one day, this little day will be unstable. ”

Cao Cao laughed, and Guo Jia rolled his eyes at Lu Ren there. Waiting until Cao Cao laughed, he turned to Lu Ren and asked, "Then according to Yihao's opinion, should Lone help Liu Bei?" ”

Lu Renxin said: "Yes, I knew that your old Cao would have this question!" ”

Lu Ren had already prepared the relevant words, but he didn't say them immediately, but shook his head at Cao Cao again and again as an embarrassment: "Don't be embarrassed by Cao Gong." If I say that I will help this kind of thing, it will be difficult to get rid of the old suspicion with Liu Bei; said that he would not help, but it seemed that his selfishness was too heavy...... Don't forget, Gong Cao, I still got involved in such a thing today, and I had a dispute with Cao Zilian. If the person who came didn't have the old Miss Mi with me, it would be fine, but the person who came was her, even if she enforced the law impartially, it would inevitably cause criticism. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Lu Ren with interest. In fact, the little bit of caution brought out by Lu Ren's words, where could Cao Cao not hear it? However, Cao Cao didn't want to embarrass Lu Ren too much, so he waved his hand and said: "That's it, the military discussion is over, and it just so happens that the two prodigal sons in the capital are gathered here again, just to accompany Gu Xiao to have a few drinks." ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, why don't you ask? Aren't all the rhetoric I prepared in vain? Thinking about it again, it's okay if Cao Cao doesn't ask, if he really wants to say so much, it actually takes a lot of effort to say it, and Cao Cao has first-class strategists around him, so he doesn't need to draw snakes here.

The seats and wine utensils were placed, and Lu Ren and Guo Jia accompanied Cao Cao to chat here. And chatting and chatting, Cao Cao's topic was pulled to Lu Ren's body: "Yihao, when Lone met that Miss Mi family, although she was dressed as a man, Lone could see that she was indeed a beautiful woman. This woman has a marriage contract with you, and this time she came to Xu Du to join you, and Liu Bei's letter also has the meaning of fulfillment, are you ...... You're twenty-six years old, aren't you? It's long overdue to get married and start a family. ”

“……”

Lu Renxin said, "Your old Cao has drunk too much wine, and if you want to make fun of me, you can't be so shabu-shabu, right? At that moment, Lu Ren hurriedly shook his head and said, "The rumors in the market are harmful!" The relationship between me and Miss Mijia was innocent, as for the marriage contract...... In fact, it was not decided, but Mi Zizhong had this intention at that time, and I refused. ”

Cao Cao just wanted to speak, but Lu Ren used the technique of urinating to hide first. And taking advantage of Lu Ren's temporary absence, Cao Cao put away his smile, turned his head to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think of your Yihao virtuous brother?" ”

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "What does the lord mean?" ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly: "Judging by his words and deeds, and what he did, there is still no intention of being a long-term official...... He is indeed not a wise man and a fierce general, but when it comes to the ability to govern agriculture and mulberry, I am afraid that no one in Xudu City today can beat him. And Gu Ying has been serving the Son of Heaven for less than a year, and he needs a talent like him to help Gu accumulate money and save food, but he has no intention of being a master for a long time, so what can he do? ”

Saying that, Cao Cao sighed and looked up at the sky: "And he is Zi Xiu's old friend, and his age is similar to Zi Xiu's, and he has been a colleague of the two for many years, and even likes the same woman, and in the end, he persuaded Mrs. Ding to stay in Xu Capital City...... Don't hide it from Fengxiao, you said, when Lone sometimes sees Lu Yihao, it is as if he saw the figure of Zixiu in the old days. So Lone really doesn't want to abandon Lone one day. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "With the power of the lord, will he not be able to accept Yihao's prodigal heart?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "You are the same prodigal son as him, but your waves are wandering wreckage, but you have the desire to achieve fame in your heart, and these orphans can be given to you; But his Lu Yihao's waves are waves that travel to the end of the world, and he has nothing else to ask for in his heart, so what can he do to keep him? ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Actually, the lord's worries about him have already been thought about a long time ago. Let's put it this way, he has such a prodigal heart, after all, because he has no concern in his chest. So if you want to keep him to work for your lord, the best way is to let him have more concern in his chest. ”

Cao Cao's body leaned a lot towards Guo Jia's side and asked, "Worried?" So how can we give birth to concern in his chest? ”

Guo Jia took a glass of wine for Cao Cao, and said unhurriedly: "According to the following opinion, there is only one thing that wants this kid to be concerned, and that is 'home'." ”

"Home!?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, a little as if he understood but did not understand, and seemed to understand but not understand.

Guo Jia said: "That's right, it's 'home'." In the world, family is the most fundamental concern, which is to ask how many people in this world can abandon their home and do other things? At least you can't do it if you ask yourself, and your lord, you have big ambitions, can you really abandon your family? ”

Cao Cao was stunned, looked up at the sky and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I can't do it alone." When he was lonely in the past, he didn't bring any family with him; When he raised troops to attack Xu, he also said to his family, 'If I don't pay it back, I will go to Meng Zhuo'...... Family? If a person doesn't even have a family, it seems that he really has nothing to worry about when he is born in the world. ”

Guo Jia said: "But this kid Yihao is a person without a home. He has been lonely since he was a child, wandering all over the world, and he doesn't know what his home is, and he doesn't even know what is worth caring about in this world. Maybe the only thing that can make him a little worried about it now is Wan'er, but Wan'er has already followed him, and no matter where he goes in the future, Wan'er will definitely be with him to death. ”

Cao Cao has more or less understood what Guo Jia meant: "The meaning of filial piety is to let Yihao have a home?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Not bad." Don't you hear the old saying 'cultivate Qi and rule peace, and the family and country will be the world'? This kid is already trying to govern the country before his body is repaired and his family is not ready, where can his state of mind be stable? And with a home, he has care; With concern, he will naturally work hard for this concern, and at least he will have the heart to raise and protect this family. And when he has such a mood, is the lord still afraid that he will not be able to keep him? Even if he is more ruthless, if he has a family member who is concerned about him in the hands of the lord, what does the lord have to worry about? ”

Guo Jia's later words may seem a little ruthless, but in that era, this kind of thing was actually very common. And Cao Cao nodded silently after hearing it, and began to think about it in his heart.

To be honest, maybe Lu Ren himself didn't know that Cao Cao actually attached great importance to Lu Ren now. Cao Cao was originally a person who loved his life, and "if he didn't use it for himself, he would kill him". Lu Ren will feel that it is not a big deal that he has increased the agricultural output at that time to a certain extent, in other words, it may be that Lu Ren has always regarded himself as an ordinary sling silk that is dispensable in modern society, which has affected his own mentality.

But he ignored that in that era, the agricultural output he had increased was of great significance to the candidates who intended to compete for hegemony. And a hero like Cao Cao categorically refuses to let go of such a talent, not to mention that Lu Ren has another layer of meaning for the current Cao Cao...... Although Lu Ren doesn't think much of himself is a talent.

Looking at Cao Cao after thinking for a while, he tentatively said to Guo Jia: "He was originally a descendant of the Lu family in the four surnames of Jiangdong Wu, is that ......?"

Guo Jia immediately shook his head: "It's useless!" After a few years of friendship with him, how many times did he mention the matter of the Lu family? I'm afraid that in his heart, he has long had nothing to do with the Lu family. So the next meaning is to let him become a family here in Xudu. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Is it for him to marry a wife, have children, and start a family?" But there is already a Wan'er by his side, even if Lone is a woman with him, he will have no intention of remembering, and Wan'er will follow him to wander the world, Lone is not the same as not staying. ”

Guo Jia also frowned, and said nothing more.

However, Cao Cao said thoughtfully at this time: "Huh? The relationship between him and Miss Mijia is extraordinary, and it just so happened that Miss Mijia came to Xudu to avoid the difficulties of Xuzhou, so he pushed the boat down the river and told him how about the matchmaker? ”
