The next day, Cao Cao summoned his three military advisors to the Chinese army's tent early in the morning.
After the three of them hurried over, Cao Cao handed them the strategy he copied from Lu Yan's diary last night.
After taking turns reading what was written on Cao Cao's letter, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others were silent for a long time, seeming to be evaluating the feasibility of this strategy.
After about three to five minutes, Cheng Yu finally couldn't help but speak, "My lord, how did you know that Lei Bo has disliked Yuan Shu?"
Cheng Yu was not doubtful, he just felt that Cao Cao's plan was a bit sudden and strange.
After all, they had racked their brains and scratched their scalps with Cao Cao two days ago to defeat Shouchun.
Now, after only one night, Cao Cao suddenly knew that there was a weakness within the enemy... Was he acting too abruptly?
However, before Cao Cao could reply, someone spoke first and said: "My lord must have wanted to test us, but in the end we were still a little inferior to him and let him down!"
Jia Xu's sudden flattery made Cao Cao ecstasy.
He wanted to say that his strategy came from Lu Yan's reminder, but when the words came to his lips, he said, "Unexpectedly, Wen He saw through it."
Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other. Although they had some doubts about Jia Xu's flattery, they would not be so disappointed as to expose the tacit understanding between Cao Cao and Jia Xu.
"My lord, I'm so secretive that I'm ashamed of myself!"
Xun You and Cheng Yu also expressed their admiration, but Cao Cao suddenly felt guilty at this moment.
"Haha!" Cao Cao concealed his inner guilt with a haha, and said to the three of them: "Lei Bo is the key to our victory over Shouchun, but how to contact and convince him specifically requires the full planning of the three of them.
!”
"Don't worry, lord, we will fight to the death to rebel against Lei Bo and help lord defeat Shouchun!" Xun You and the others said with their hands raised.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the attitude of the three of them and said: "Okay... you guys can discuss it first, and I'll go inspect the camp."
Before Xun You and the others could reply, Cao Cao had already left the tent with somewhat hasty steps, leaving Xun You, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu behind, looking at each other in confusion.
"My lord, you are so secretive!" After a while, Cheng Yu finally couldn't help but sigh.
Then he became curious again and asked Jia Xu, "Wen He, is your lord really testing us?"
Jia Xu glanced at Cheng Yu and replied meaningfully: "Is it important whether it really tests us?"
"Is it important?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Yeah... it's not important at all."
Xun You put away the letter and said to Cheng Yu and Jia Xu: "Okay, the lord of the most critical place has pointed it out to us. If we can't defeat Shouchun in this way, we might as well retire and return home..."
...
Lu Yan had just gotten up and was about to ask his guards to fetch some water to wash up. But when he opened the tent, he found many people walking in a hurry outside the tent.
"Huh?" Lu Yan watched in confusion as several cavalrymen rushed out of the camp, and he suddenly became confused and curious.
At this moment, Lu Yan happened to see Cao Cao walking alone in the camp, so he walked up to him and said hello: "Hey! Mr. Cao is very relaxed today!"
Cao Cao was suddenly stopped by Lu Yan, and his body suddenly trembled. He felt as if he had been caught stealing something...
"Uh...hehehe! Is it Mr. Lu? What advice can you give me?" Cao Cao turned around and asked, his smile uglier than his tears.
Lu Yan looked at Cao Cao's expression with confusion and asked with concern: "Are you sick?"
Cao Cao nodded subconsciously, and when he realized what was happening, he immediately shook his head and said, "No! I'm in good health!"
"Then it feels like you didn't take any medicine today..."
"I'm not sick, what medicine should I take?" Cao Cao's mind was filled with lawsuits and he was almost dizzy from Lu Yan.
"Mr. Cao, I just saw some movements in the camp. Do you have any ideas?" Lu Yan asked tentatively.
He thought to himself, "If Lao Cao and the others have a way, then he will not show his shame. If he still besieges the city and waits for help as before, then he can mention Lei Bo's matter."
Anyway, idle time is idle. Try to see if you can instigate Lei Bo during your free time. You can just find something to do, right?
Cao Cao was so thick-skinned. In just a few words of conversation, he had gone from being slightly panicked to completely calming down now.
After hearing Lu Yan's question, Cao Cao replied calmly and calmly: "Cao Cao temporarily thought of a plan last night, but it was not easy to implement, so he left it to Gongda and the others to handle it properly."
"I see!" Lu Yan exclaimed and said with a smile, "It would be great if there is a way. Then Yan will wait for the good news from Mr. Cao!"
Cao Cao cursed in his heart: "Sure enough! Mr. Lu still likes to hide his clumsiness as always. He obviously has a good plan in mind, but he refuses to say it out unless he has to."
Seeing Lu Yan Shiran's leaving figure, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and complained in his heart: "Lu Xianren... I won't really treat you like a donkey. Is it so difficult for you to be more active?"
That's so difficult! If Lu Yan could hear Lao Cao's thoughts, he would definitely respond to him like this.
Cao Cao was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly felt that he was sorry for stealing Lu Yan's strategy in vain.
Looking up, Lu Yan was not walking very fast and had not disappeared from Cao Cao's sight at this moment. So Cao Cao shouted, "Sir! Just wait a moment!" and then chased after him.
Lu Yan turned around and asked vigilantly: "Is there anything else Mr. Cao has to do?"
Cao Cao chuckled upon seeing this, then waved his hands and said, "Sir, don't be nervous, Cao Cao just thought of some plans to expand logistics."
"Eh?" Lu Yan was surprised why Old Cao suddenly became enlightened, so he stretched out his hand and made a request, saying: "Mr. Cao, please continue."
Cao Cao hurriedly hurriedly organized some thoughts and words, and said: "Yesterday or two days, I have seen the power of trebuchets and repeating crossbows. Mr. Lu, didn't you say last time that they still have a lot of room for improvement?
Cao tossed and turned and thought for a long time last night, and still felt that the workshop should be given greater support!"
"That's it!" Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he asked, "How much money do you plan to invest??"
Cao Cao thought of his previous plans to give formal official status to the workshop supervisors, so he waved his hand and said: "Talk about money is too tacky!
Cao is going to report to His Majesty to formally incorporate the workshop into the imperial official system. From now on, the directors of the workshop will also be official officials of the imperial court!"
Lu Yan thought to himself, "This is not bad. At least it can greatly improve the status of craftsmen and give them more research and development power!"
"Mr. Cao is wise, the potential of the workshop will not disappoint you." Lu Yan said with a solemn expression and cupped his hands.
What he said was true to his heart. The improvement of science and technology means the improvement of military and people's livelihood. As a modern person, Lu Yan is very clear about the importance of science and technology to a country.
Cao Cao suddenly enlightened at this moment, and Lu Yan was very pleased. He decided to give Lao Cao a surprise now, "Mr. Cao, Zilong rescued a person last time..."
However, Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand to stop Lu Yan and said, "Mr. Lu! I, Mr. Cao, just want to defeat Shouchun as soon as possible. As for anything else, let's talk about it after we go back."
Lu Yan was right when he thought about it. Talking about Cai Yan now would only distract Cao Cao, so he said to Cao Cao with some admiration:
"Cao Gong is wise! Let's talk about this matter after we go back."
"Okay, I have to go to patrol the camp, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Mr. Cao, please help yourself..."
Cao Cao's heart started beating wildly when he thought of Cai Yan. In order to prevent Lu Yan from noticing anything unusual, he had to leave quickly and leave.
