In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

During these days, in addition to dividing his troops and plundering grain, Cao Cao also went to Tancheng City to fight against the enemy, but the defenders of Tancheng refused to go out of the city to fight. Cao Cao was helpless and lazy to care about this, but stepped up to urge the soldiers under his command to grab grain and hurry.

These things have little to do with Lu Ren, and if you really want to talk about it, Lu Ren at this time can be said to be completely the No. 1 idler in Cao Jun, and he doesn't know what he can do at this time. In addition, there is such a special and sensitive identity, Lu Ren himself feels that he can't wander around in the barracks, if he accidentally violates any military regulations, it will be a small matter, in case he is mistaken for what kind of detailed activities he is engaged in, wouldn't it be more wronged than Dou E? So much so that Lu Ren laughed at himself in front of Guo Jia at one time, saying that if he went to Xuzhou now, he would be regarded by Xuzhou as Cao Jun's fine work, and walking around the camp would be regarded as Xuzhou's fine work, which was really not a double-sided fine work, Guo Jia didn't bother to pay attention to him except for laughing and scolding him.

But then again, Lu Ren already had a vague feeling at this time, that is, the current process is very likely to return to the original process, at most, there will be some changes in time. At least Lu Ren was sure of one thing, that is, after Bian Rang was done by Cao Cao, Chen Gong's rebellion would definitely happen, and this was definitely not something he could influence now.

As for whether Mi Zhu will go to get Liu Bei again, Lu Ren is a little unsure. Because according to historical data, Mi Zhu originally didn't plan to invite Liu Bei, but just wanted to go to Beihai to ask Kong Rong for help, but unexpectedly ran into Guan Hai besieging Beihai, and the result was that Kong Rong asked Liu Bei in the plain for help, and then it developed into Mi Zhu and asked Liu Bei for help. Now the time is a lot earlier, Mi Zhu may not have met Guan Hai when he arrived in Beihai, then Kong Rong probably led his troops directly to Xuzhou, and there is a string of things in the middle, whether Mi Zhu will go to Liu Bei is really God knows...... But Lu Ren didn't know that the bamboo slips he left behind had already made Mi Zhu skip the section of going to Beihai for help, and went directly to Liu Bei.

The days are like this, passing in a daze, Lu Ren is now working part-time as a scribe as Guo Jia's small stove chef and making two meals that day, the rest of the time is basically to find a shady place at the back of the camp and sit there, looking at the road to the west stupidly.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Lu Ren's behavior was like a fool, but they didn't know that Lu Ren was actually waiting for the arrival of the distress messenger from Gunzhou. After all, the only thing Lu Ren can eat accurately at the moment is the fact that Chen Gong will rebel, but Lu Ren doesn't dare to say this matter, so he can only sit here and wait. Although this matter actually has no practical significance to Lu Ren, people always have to find something to do and have a hope in their hearts, not to mention that Lu Ren can't do anything in Cao Ying now? At least at least, Lu Ren felt that as soon as he saw the messenger on the other end, he could immediately go back to the account to pack his things, and he would save himself from being in a hurry when he left, and things could not be packed in advance, and Yang Xiu's death of "chicken ribs" was not a joke.

Of course, Lu Ren didn't really just sit there, others thought he was in a daze, but in fact, Lu Ren activated the chip to play games and watch movies and TV there. The last time I contacted Shirley in Pengcheng, Shirley easily transmitted some of the kind of things that Lu Ren likes to see that girls don't wear clothes to Lu Ren. It's impossible for Shirley to find this specifically, they were all directly copied from the computer that Lu Ren played before and then passed to Lu Ren, and in addition to those things, there were some games and movies and TV in the packaged files.

There were too many messy things for Lu Ren before, and he couldn't take care of them all the time. Now, as an idler, when I have the time and mood to get these things out to play and take a look, it can be regarded as killing this boring time. But Lu Ren didn't dare to look at those things that girls didn't wear, because he felt uncomfortable after seeing that thing, and he didn't dare to make any movement in the barracks.

On this day, Lu Ren sat there again and activated the chip to play the game, and when he was about to clear the game, he suddenly heard a burst of fighting in the distance. Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, got up and identified the direction and found that it was near Tancheng, and he was also slightly shocked in his heart: "Over there in Tancheng?" Did Cao Cao give the order to attack the city, or did he send troops to fight in the field? Shall I go over and have a look? ”

After a little hesitation, Lu Ren still gave up his plan to watch the excitement. Again, Lu Ren didn't want to run around in the camp and be mistaken for a fine work, anyway, whether it was a siege or a field battle, it was none of his business, so it was better not to move.

So Lu Ren sat back in his place and continued to play his own game. And this time the fighting did not last long, and it died down by the time it was almost dusk. Lu Ren saw that the time was almost there, so he ran back to cook, and when he saw Guo Jia, he casually asked, "Why did you fight today?" The result? ”

Guo Jia frowned, and his expression did not have the relaxed smile of the previous days: "Someone rushed to help Xuzhou." ”

Lu Ren's heart suddenly jumped, although he vaguely guessed something, he still asked Guo Jia, "Who?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei of the plain brought more than 10,000 people. ”

Lu Renxin said that Liu Bei is still here after all? But immediately Lu Ren felt that something was wrong, and asked in surprise: "How many soldiers did Liu Bei bring here!?" ”

Guo Jia repeated: "Over 10,000 people. ”

Lu Ren was stunned at that time. As far as he knew, Liu Bei was just a plain minister under the command of Gongsun Zan during this period, acting as the deputy of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, according to the history books, "the first lord had more than 1,000 soldiers and Youzhou Karasuma mixed horsemen, and there were thousands of hungry people", and there was a great strength of four or five thousand. Even if he went to Gongsun Zhan to borrow Zhao Yun and 2,000 centaurs, there would be 8,000 centaurs, how could he suddenly become more than 10,000 centaurs?

Guo Jia saw that Lu Ren was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Yihao, do you know Liu Bei?" ”

Lu Ren nodded: "I know a little bit...... Oh, I heard people talking about him when I went to Tancheng to sell firewood before. It's just Lao Guo, Liu Bei seems to have only a few thousand people, why did he suddenly become tens of thousands? He was temporarily conscripted? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said something that surprised Lu Ren: "Guan Hai is dead, and those Yellow Turban soldiers in his hands have been incorporated by Liu Bei, so Liu Bei will have more than 10,000 people." ”

"Guan Hai!?"

Lu Ren would be so shocked because he didn't expect Guan Hai to die at Liu Bei's hands in the end, but Guo Jia's next words made Lu Ren shocked again: "It's okay to tell you now." Guan Hai was actually secretly ordered by the lord to go to Beihai to intercept Kong Rong as the Yellow Turban Yu Party. ”

"W-Where!?" Lu Ren's eyes widened at that time, so that even words like "which mud" came out of his mouth, and he said in his heart that it wouldn't be, right? How did Guan Hai become Cao Cao's person? This is the first time Lu Ren has heard of this. Puzzled, Lu Ren naturally asked Guo Jia to find out what was going on.

Guo Jia explained: "After the lord took over Gunzhou, he was mainly pacifying the Yellow Turban remnants of Gunzhou. After the Yellow Turban in Gunzhou was pacified, the lord chose its elite as the Qingzhou soldiers, and the rest were ordered to farm. And the lord kept a hand at this time, that is, he still let a small part of the Yellow Turban Army keep the Yellow Turban banner in case of emergency. Yihao, you should understand that the lord is in charge of the court soldiers and horses, and sometimes it is inconvenient to come forward with some things, so you have to rely on these soldiers and horses under the banner of thieves to do it, and the lord is secretly contributing money and food. ”

As soon as he explained this, Lu Ren immediately understood, and said in his heart that this matter was quite in line with Cao Cao's style. To put it simply, Cao Cao left such a dishonorable army to do those dishonorable things. Not to mention Cao Cao, even in modern society, many countries actually have such troops in secret. After all, there are many things, and it is absolutely inconvenient for the regular army on the surface to come forward, so they can only rely on these troops hiding in the shadows to do it.

At this time, Guo Jia continued: "Kong Rong and Tao Qian have always been good friends, and when they hear that Xuzhou is besieged, they will definitely send troops to aid Xu." If it is just to fight with Kong Rong, Kong Rong is a drunkard who is not worried, but Kong Rong's reputation is too big, and if he is really against him, the lord's face can't be pulled down. If Kong Rong writes another letter or sends a letter or something, it will be difficult for the lord to do it reasonably. After all, Kong Rong is not a side concession, it will not matter much if he kills the side concession, and it will have the effect of establishing authority, but if he kills a person like Kong Rong...... In the future, it is no less than Wang Yun killing Cai Yong, not to mention that it will arouse the strong disgust of the scholars in the world, and it will also give other candidates an excuse to attack the lord and the lord. Therefore, the only way to let Guan Hai besiege Beihai was to let Kong Rong take care of himself and unable to send troops to aid Xu. ”

Lu Ren laughed when he heard it, and said in his heart that this sister is politics/governance, and there are too many twists and turns in it. And since there are these factors in it, it is inevitable that Liu Bei will do Guan Hai. As for some other seemingly trivial factors, Lu Ren didn't bother to think about it, anyway, the current result is really not much different from the original historical process, but it may be a little earlier in time.

In fact, Lu Ren didn't know that because of his appearance, some things on Liu Bei's side were transferred one by one. Originally, it was supposed to be after Mi Zhu arrived in Beihai, and Kong Rong sent Tai Shici to ask Liu Bei for help, but now Mi Zhu went directly to the plains, and then Liu Bei told Liu Bei on the way to Xuzhou, saying that there might be a Yellow Turban Yu besieging Beihai, and Liu Bei hit Guan Hai and a guy along the way.

This doesn't seem to be much of a difference, but you must know that Liu Bei originally went to Gongsun Chan to borrow troops and generals after saving Beihai, but now he borrowed soldiers and generals in advance and ran to Xuzhou, which is also ahead of time, at least saving Liu Bei the time to go back and forth from Beihai to Gongsun Zhan. Moreover, when the number of troops is more than the original process, the ability to capture and recruit the Guanhai people is also stronger, so Liu Bei will have more than 10,000 people to come to Xuzhou.

After pulling all this idleness, Lu Ren saw that Guo Jia had been frowning, although he already had some understanding in his heart, he still asked Guo Jia: "It's just that Liu Bei's more than 10,000 people came, what do you mean by having a bitter face, Lao Guo?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "There are some things that 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. ”
