Although Liang Le said that, it was just to hide his stupidity in front of Lu Bu. He had already guessed what Lu Bu was thinking, but when he actually heard it coming from Lu Bu's mouth, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lu Bu didn't need to continue talking, he could also deduce the next steps, which was equivalent to overturning all previous plans. It was no longer a direct attack on Huanglong and a quick victory, but it was very likely to drag into a protracted war.
Although the geographical location of Dacheng County is just adjacent to the north of Xihe County, which is Lu Bu's own territory, so there is no need to worry about logistics and supplies, it is not good for a war to drag on for too long, not to mention that supplies are always being consumed.
The morale that is gradually built up may also gradually diminish as time goes by. After all, we are fighting in a foreign land. The right time, place, and people can be said to be unoccupied. How will we fight the battle then?
Lu Bu didn't know that Liang Le had guessed his thoughts to the letter. He was doing this to cooperate with what Dian Wei said in his heart. Although he couldn't explain everything clearly in the letter, he only stated it in detail.
This is a fact, but how could Lu Bu not understand what he meant?
Rather than stupidly fighting Qubei directly on the battlefield, after Lu Bu thought about it, he still felt that the best plan was to find a place to settle down first, and then figure it out slowly. This was only done after approaching Shuofang.
decision to change.
In addition to the reports from Dian Wei and the spy team, there was another person whose words were crucial to him, and that was Lu Cui.
Speaking of which, Lu Wenwei was one of the earliest civil servants to follow him. He was introduced to Lu Bu by Cai Yong when he was in Luoyang, and both Jia Xu and Chen Gong gradually submitted to him after that.
Lu Bu, strictly speaking before that, they were not considered Lu Bu's people, let alone Liang Le and others who even appeared after Lu Cui.
But Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Liang Le and even Tian Chou and Feng Ji all relied on their true talents and learning and Lu Bu's regard for them. The latecomers came forward and surpassed Lu Cui's status one after another; but from then on
Psychologically speaking, many of them are not as close to Lu Bu as Lu Cui. After all,
He followed Lu Bu when he was still under Dong Zhuo, and he didn't even reveal any ambition, strength or even potential to compete with the princes in the world. In any case, he was "sharing the troubles together". Just this
His qualifications can overwhelm the large number of newcomers under Lu Bu's command.
Of course, if one only cares about seniority, Lu Bu cannot always arrange for him to handle clerical affairs by his side. However, Hao Meng, Wei Xu and other senior officials are now gradually separated from the core of the Lu Bu Group.
This position may seem low in status and power, but it is a close minister of the lord. There is no doubt about its importance. It is because Lu Cui’s strategy, intelligence, vision and eloquence are far inferior to others, but he also has a person who cannot compare with him.
Yes, his writing skills are very suitable for his work.
What Lu Bu wants now is to appoint talents and make full use of their talents, although this can only be said to be done as much as possible. What he didn't expect was that Lu Cui would come to him privately and have a heart-to-heart talk with him when he marched to the pass of Chengyi.
.
Whether it is the predecessor Lu Fengxian or the soul from the later generations, one thing they have in common is that they value feelings, especially Lu Cui, who has always been loyal and focused on doing things and ignored other subordinates.
Cui has always done her duty, but she rarely has such private conversations with Lu Bu.
And the first words he said surprised Lu Bu: "Marquis Wen wants to march towards Shuofang. I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but I feel that Marquis Wen is so diligent. Good things will inevitably turn into disasters, especially this time.
The reason why you boldly go out to the army is probably not only because this is a good opportunity, but also because your heart is swollen and you are already a little arrogant, right?"
Hearing what Lu Cui said, Lu Bu's expression was stunned, but in his heart he had to look at him with admiration.
He originally had no impression of Lu Cui. He couldn't remember whether there was such a figure in history. He was appointed solely because of Cai Yong's recommendation. Later, Lu Cui was gradually overshadowed by Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others. But as for
Just because he dared to say such "bold" words in front of him today, Lu Bu's evaluation of him would immediately rise to a higher level.
After all, Lu Bu is not the same Lu Bu as before. He has experienced two lives, and even has the fusion of two souls. Although he dare not say that he has reached the point of being unfazed by favors and humiliations, one of his greatest strengths is that he knows how to introspect, and his own thoughts about this brazen expedition
, he also felt this
Change, of course, sometimes this is just a layer of window paper. Unless others pierce it from the outside, it is impossible for him to pierce it from the inside. But what he didn't expect was that it was this person who first opened this layer in front of him.
Lu Cui and Lu Wenwei have always been around but have always been inconspicuous.
But if you think about it carefully, Jia Xu, Liang Le and the others can't see that these are unreasonable. However, Lu Bu's aura is too strong, and the so-called "the king's heart is unpredictable". They are obviously worried about this aspect, so maybe they plan to follow the army.
Slowly remind yourself on the way, or just say it when necessary, but Jia Xu and Chen Gong are not here, so it is Liang Le who takes on this "important task".
Of course, with Lu Bu's current temperament, even if Lu Cui said it so mercilessly, he wouldn't be angry, but rather appreciative, "Wen Wei, I don't see that you still have the potential to be a critic!"
Lu Bu said these words with a smile, but Lu Cui was a little frightened. After all, coming here and saying these words was already a great courage, and it was obviously impossible for him to be as impassioned as a hero who died.
He didn't understand what Lu Bu was thinking. At first, he just felt that he needed to warn Lu Bu. After all, that's what you should do as a vassal. Now it's useless to regret it.
"Marquis Wen is overly praised. I just feel that as a minister, I should be vigilant when my lord makes a rash move and make up for his omissions. As a minister, grand plans are secondary, but it is necessary to find and correct deficiencies." What he said was modesty, but in fact it was the way to go.
Cui was also observing Lu Bu's reaction, and she felt relieved when she saw that Lu Bu was indeed not angry, but instead smiled gently.
Lu Bu sighed and said: "I will consider this matter seriously; and Wen Wei, this is the first time you have spoken out to remonstrate, but I don't care that your coming this time is just an impulse, but I still insist on it. I hope this will happen."
It won't be the last time."
Lu Cui understood it immediately, and understood immediately that for Hunjun, he wished that everyone was just flattering and saying nice things, but Mingzhu inevitably loves to hear nice things, but at the same time, he is more willing to hear some direct words.
Words, truth. Without any hesitation, he nodded solemnly and said: "Cui Ding should encourage himself with Marquis Wen's words today and keep up his efforts..."
Lu Bu's thoughts returned to reality, and he glanced at Lu Cui. This sharp-tongued civil servant immediately had a different status in his heart after experiencing this incident, but now he got down to business: "This matter has been decided, and this is it.
After you all go down, you will each perform your duties and make sure to ensure that the morale of the army is stable and that you can move south smoothly."
The words had already reached this point. Under Lu Bu's solemn gaze, the ministers responded with a roar: "Here."
