The scholar spoke sharply, and Cao Cao nodded secretly: No wonder the four heroes of Taihu made extraordinary remarks. Sure enough, there was someone behind them.
If it had been another good man, Lao Cao would have smiled all over his face, stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, and said some clichés such as "We are all brothers, why should we be polite?"
However, at this moment, Lao Cao did not move at all, letting him kneel in front of him, looking at the other party, and said lightly: "Sir, you are indeed loyal. In this case, Wu will only blame you."
The scholar was stunned and took a deep breath: Why didn't this guy fight according to the routine?
After calming down, he forced a smile and said: "That's very good. It's just a minor mistake. It's just what Xiaoke meant if it doesn't implicate others."
Cao Cao nodded: "No need to say more, just let them release my three brothers, and then I will take you back to the camp. When Tong Guan comes, I will deport you to him."
Fei Bao was very anxious after hearing this: "'Wu Mengde,' you are also a hero, how can you be so unloyal?"
Cao Cao sneered and said: "When you take my three brothers and shout to beat them and kill them, you must not show loyalty to them. I came to visit my second son with friendly words, but when you made things difficult for me, I never saw your loyalty."
Poor Taihu Four, they couldn't talk or fight, they could only stomp their feet in a hurry.
But the scholar calmed down, rolled his eyes, stood up slowly, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "General Wu has the upper hand now, so why should he ignore others? Although Xiao Ke was once a thief, But Fang La didn't listen to Xiao Ke's plan, and now that he's leaving, he has returned from his lost path..."
Lao Cao waved his hand and said, "You can tell Privy Tongtong these kind words, and he may be able to understand."
Seeing that Cao Cao refused to fall for the trap, the scholar sighed secretly and said helplessly: "General Wu, let's discuss it. How about Lv helping you take Suzhou as atonement?"
Cao Cao sneered and said: "I killed six of Fang Maang's eight generals in one battle. Buhe killed them more fiercely and frightened him into hiding. He had 50,000 people in the city, and Wu only got 3,000. I also lack siege equipment—hehe, I still can’t take this city, what can you do?”
The scholar showed a confident look and said with a calm smile: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The general cannot take Suzhou because he doesn't know the enemy."
Cao Cao remained calm and said: "You have been a thief before, so you should know the truth and falsehood. Is there any good opportunity that I can seize?"
The scholar nodded: "To be fair to the general, Fang Lana was too hasty to raise his troops. He had very few men and horses, and very few clothes and armor. Although he took some from the officers and soldiers, the elites of the Song Dynasty were all stationed on the northwest border and Bianjing. There were few officers and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. Fang La was worried about the lack of sophisticated armor. Fortunately, he conquered Hangzhou a few months ago and collected a lot of fine iron. He went around to capture craftsmen and make armor. Calculating the time, in addition to the elite of his own army, he should have saved up at this time. A batch of armor, that appearance is his younger brother, so a batch must be sent to him first."
After hearing this, Cao Cao thought thoughtfully: "The armor is heavy. If you come from Hangzhou, you must take canal water transport."
Seeing his quick thinking, the scholar admired him and nodded: "Yes, the general knows everything after hearing it. He must have already figured out Xiao Ke's plan."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's nothing more than stealing and fishing in troubled waters, but Wu doesn't have a navy..."
The scholar sighed: "Since we have offended the general first, we naturally have to work hard to atone for our sins. Fei, Ni, Bu, and Di are four heroes who have always made a living on the water. They are responsible for intercepting the ship."
Cao Cao nodded and looked at the four people. Fei Bao knew he couldn't escape and said in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt to help you, but when you get to Suzhou, our previous grudges will be wiped out, but you can't force me." The four of me work for you.”
Cao Cao raised his head and smiled proudly, saying proudly: "The men under Wu are all warm-blooded and good men. We vow to work with Wu to restore the Han family and do the great cause that will leave a name in history! You four are still in your prime, so They only want to care for themselves in old age, people like you want to join me, and I despise you for being so heartless."
Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng all said angrily: "Who do you think is heartless?"
Fei Bao stopped the three brothers and said in a low voice: "We are not heartless, we just don't want to risk our lives to become someone else's stepping stone."
Cao Cao ridiculed: "If you were a good citizen, you would say such a thing, and I would only say that people have their own ambitions. However, you are waiting to seize the island and become bandits, plundering everywhere. When the country is really in trouble, you avoid it, no matter how nice you say it." , they are just a few courageous gangsters who only dare to bully the weak, and they are still pretending to be ordinary scholars?"
Wu Song nodded repeatedly and said: "A man should immediately obtain fame. It is a matter of life and death, and wealth is determined by heaven. How about a stepping stone? Everyone thinks like you, and they all become bandits and robbers, and there is no one to protect their families. Will the country and the world be better? Besides, if the four of you are really lazy, why do you need to learn this martial arts? My eldest brother is right. You seem to have a clear understanding of the world, are you just trying to avoid risks and do things with peace of mind? It's just your gangsterism of bullying the weak."
He was speechless for four times and his face was ashen.
Many of the thoughts of the four of them were influenced by the good scholar Lu General. At this moment, when General Lu saw that the four of them had been humiliated and lost their face, how could General Lu be willing to sit idly by and ignore them?
At that moment, he sighed quietly and said deliberately: "I only regret that Fang La is ignorant and refuses to use my strategy. Otherwise, he would have captured Jinling as a base and blocked the river to defend it. General Wu would still be worried in the north of the Yangtze River and would not have a chance to meet him." It’s a quarrel of words.”
His strategy was indeed the right answer. After hearing this, Cao Cao did not argue with the strategy itself, but laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Lu, I know you have extraordinary knowledge, but who would have thought you would say such a thing? What do you think?" Fang La refuses to use your strategy, is it his fault or yours?"
General Lu subconsciously wanted to say, "Of course it's his fault." When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt something strange and looked at Cao Cao warily: "I would like to ask the general to teach me."
Cao Cao said harshly: "I can indeed give you some advice! Mr. Lu, the so-called wise man does not only look at his far-reaching strategy, but also the sharpness of his words. If you offer advice but others cannot use it, it is not a human fault. It's your fault. You must know that there are three differences between people: knowledge, experience, and temperament. There are these three differences. Things that you call natural and logical are often unimaginable to others, so how can you make it happen? It is also the duty of a counselor to agree with your views and implement your strategies."
Not only give a strategy, but also convince others to use this strategy! Lao Cao's words were like a giant hammer, which smashed the pride in General Lu's heart to pieces. He couldn't help but turn pale as he murmured: "It's not my fault, it's not someone else's fault, but my fault?"
Cao Cao shouted: "If you think about it carefully, Fang La can't use your strategy, so he will inevitably be defeated and die - but what does his life and death have to do with you? So what does it have to do with you? Even if he doesn't use your strategy now, you can't become famous. At that time, I couldn't leave my name in future generations, I couldn't shine on my family, and I couldn't shadow my wife on the bottom. This knowledge and ability had no choice but to die with the grass and trees. Haha, is this his loss? Or is it yours?"
General Lu took a few steps back and was speechless.
All along, he only said that Fang La was short-sighted and could not use his own strategies, so his career would suffer setbacks. This was all Fang La's fault. Only after Cao Cao told him did he realize that this was also his own fault.
When Cao Cao said this, he couldn't help but think of an old man, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said slowly: "Have you never heard of Guo Fengxiao's theory of 'ten victories and ten defeats'? At that time, Yuan Shao had many soldiers and generals, and his strength was unparalleled. If he hadn't been so high On the subject, how can one strengthen Duke Cao's heart? This is the merit of a counselor's sharp words. There are also people like Zhang Yi and Su Qin. If they don't have sharp words, how can they stir up the turmoil of the whole world and make all countries follow their own path?"
General Lu was a smart man. Hearing these remarks, he felt as if he was enlightened. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashed with wonder, and he suddenly said: "When Zhuge Kongming was fighting with the Confucian scholars in Soochow, he relied on the sharpness of his words to carry out his strategies. .”
Cao Cao, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly felt a little unhappy at this moment. He snorted and rolled his eyes.
General Lu suddenly opened the window paper that had blinded him for a long time. He felt indescribably refreshed. Why did he care about Cao Cao's expression? Shaking his head, he was full of admiration. He suddenly came back to his senses, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Lao Cao: "Thank you, great sage, for your generous advice. It's ridiculous that Lv is stupid. He only claims to be a wise man, but he never thinks about it." The art of eloquence and strategy are complementary to each other, so that I have wasted thirty-six percent of my life and still achieved nothing. I only know how to complain about the unknown master in the world, but I don’t know how to reflect on my own shortcomings. Alas, if I hadn’t received this advice, I’m afraid I would still have to do it. I’ve been confused all my life.”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "What you said is only half right. How could Guo Fengxiao convince Cao Gong? How could Zhuge villagers convince Liu Da'er and Zi Xu'er? It's all because those characters have the ability to handle the situation. Ambition! The saying that 'there is Bole first, and then there is the thousand-mile horse' is true. However, if there is no thousand-mile horse, there is no Bole. It can be seen that the famous master and the famous minister are indispensable."
General Lu nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly. Mr. Linchuan's words go like this: 'Tang and Wu meet by chance, wind, tiger, cloud, dragon, King Xing is only laughing and talking.' That's the truth. Without Tang and Wu, who would have known Ilu ? However, if there is no Yi Lu, there may not be Tang Wu."
The warriors of Tang Dynasty are Chengtang and Wu of Zhou, and those of Yilu are Yiyin and Lu Shang.
Cao Cao saw his extremely excited expression and thought to himself: My plan has come true. Putting on a friendly smile, he said earnestly: "That's right! Mr. Lu, you taught Fang La to take Jinling. It's not an ordinary strategy, it's actually a strategy for the country. Your vision is not that of an ordinary counselor, but also a man of the country. Yes! With your ability, if you can cultivate your poetry internally and find famous masters externally, you can become a famous minister of your generation."
When General Lu saw Cao Cao, he was repeatedly attacked. He didn't know that there was a word in later generations called PUA. He only knew that he had always been arrogant and had no confidence in being scolded by Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he actually praised him as a "strategist". "A scholar of the country", I felt a great joy suddenly came over me, my nose felt sour, I wanted to cry, I felt that in the whole world, this person was the only one who was my lifelong confidant.
I can't help but yearn for it: "Cultivation of the word skill internally, and search for the famous master externally... So that's it, so that's it, it's true that 'you can hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening'! But in today's world, where is the famous master?"
Wu Song smiled to himself and suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, Wu Er is a rough man, with a straight heart and a straight talk. I'm sorry to be blunt, but in this world, apart from my eldest brother, I have never seen another person who can be called a master. "
General Lu was stunned for a moment, then woke up: Take a photo! Isn't this person's mind and vision exactly like a famous master? He immediately pushed down the jade pillar from the golden mountain and bowed to the ground: two lines of tears fell down, and he cried: "General Wu, student Lu, a person from the south of the Yangtze River, only because of Hua Shigang's death, my family was destroyed, and I was left alone. I deeply hate this imperial court." He is weak to the outside world but cruel to the inside. He wants to choose a master to restore peace to the world. Today I met the general. I am convinced with all my heart. It is like seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist. If I am not abandoned, I am willing to worship my lord. Although a certain person is not talented, I also wish to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou, who 'dedicated himself to the utmost and died!' I only hope that my lord will accept it!"
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, and quickly raised his hands up: "Sir, why do you need to be like this? We are all brothers, there is no need to be more polite, no need to be too polite!"
The four heroes of Taihu looked straight at each other. The four brothers looked at me and I looked at you. There was confusion in each other's eyes: What's going on? He told us not to work part-time and signed the contract on his knees?
There are different teachings: I visited the thatched cottage three times and asked about the frequency. Today, Lao Cao went to the lakeside: the dishes must be ordered by others, and the master of the Ming Dynasty never follows his example.
