Chapter 380 The person who knows Lu Yan best is Boss Cao after all?
Cao Cao originally wanted to fall asleep after reading Lu Yan's diary, but unfortunately after reading it, he ended up suffering from insomnia...
Whenever he thought that the Han people would be slaughtered like livestock by the barbarians, Cao Cao would feel extremely worried... You know, his ideal when he was young was to expel the barbarians for the Han people and open up new territories!
What's more, "If the Han people are massacred by barbarians, then my descendants will also suffer the same fate."
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and secretly felt cruel in his heart, "Whether it's for personal reasons or for the sake of righteousness, no aliens on this grassland can be allowed to stay!"
The next day,
Lao Cao, with panda eyes, summoned several close advisers to discuss the matter.
Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Lu Yan and Guo Jia arrived one after another.
When they saw Cao Cao, who looked haggard and had dark circles under his eyes, they couldn't help but admire him, "My lord, you are so worried about the people of Wuhuan that you didn't even get a good night's sleep."
Xi Zhicai even handed over his hand and said: "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. We will be able to completely eliminate Wuhuan in this battle!"
"Yes, my lord! You still need to rest first so that you can have more energy to deal with the enemy!" Xun You also stood up and consoled him.
Guo Jia showed a rare serious look and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Jia is here and I will definitely help you break this dilemma!"
"No! We must not let Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia or Xun You go. I have to find a way to stop Lao Cao!" Upon hearing Guo Jia's request for a fight, Lu Yan immediately made up his mind. He must not let Guo Jia and others go.
Go through the gates of hell.
But just when he opened his mouth to say something, Cao Cao unexpectedly said first: "You are right, I will definitely break this dilemma!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Cao immediately looked at Lu Yan and said, "Sir, I need to trouble you to accompany me for this expedition against Wuhuan."
"???" Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Xun You looked at Lu Yan in surprise, and then turned to Cao Cao.
Lu Yan had not proposed any plan to raid Wuhuan before, so why did Lao Cao choose him?
Guo Jia raised his hand and reminded: "That... Lord, I am the one who raided Wuhuan..."
Cao Cao nodded and replied with a smile: "I know, so I asked my husband to accompany me on this trip."
"Huh?" Guo Jia's head was full of black question marks and he thought to himself: "Because it was me who suggested it, so let Lu Yan make a trip??? What kind of genius logic is this?!"
Lu Yan had no expression on his face, but he was wondering in his heart, "Why did he choose me alone? Could it be that this old Cao has become a spirit and can see what I am thinking?"
Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Xun You turned to look at Lu Yan, but they couldn't see any clues from Lu Yan's expression.
Guo Jia always felt that since this extremely bold and risky plan was proposed by himself, other people should not be involved.
The success rate of this raid on Wuhuan Royal Court is really not high. It would be okay if they win, but if they fail, then they will definitely have to bear the biggest responsibility.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia didn't want to implicate Lu Yan even more.
"Lord... let your subordinates accompany you on this trip!" Guo Jia handed over his hand and said the words in one breath.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and sighed in his heart: "It's not that I don't want you to accompany me on this journey, it's that I don't want to see you never come back!"
Although Guo Jia repeatedly asked for a fight, Cao Cao never relented.
Xi Zhicai and Xun You were more and more surprised, "What's going on today, my lord? Why don't you want Feng Xiao to stay with you? Has Feng Xiao done something that dissatisfied your lord?"
Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai raised his hands and said: "Lord, sir, you still need to stay in Youzhou, otherwise your subordinates..."
Xi Zhicai is right. Among the people present, who has the most ability and qualifications to take charge of one side, apart from Cao Cao, it is Lu Yan.
Originally, they thought the best choice was for Guo Jia to accompany Cao Cao to Wuhuan, while Xi Zhicai and Xun You assisted Lu Yan in taking charge of Youzhou. But why did Cao Cao not act according to common sense today?
Lu Yan recovered from his initial surprise, and just in time to hear Xi Zhicai asked Cao Cao for a fight.
"Your Xi Zhicai's body is not as good as Guo Jia's, how could I let you go?" Lu Yan thought to himself. Just when he was about to speak to dissuade him, Cao Cao shook his head and said: "No, this time the raid on Wuhuan must be done by none other than Mr.
!”
"???"
Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Xun You were almost stunned. It was not that they were jealous or wanted to take credit, but they just felt that Cao Cao's decision today was a bit abnormal.
"Why did my lord identify Lu Changsheng?" Xun You was confused. "And Changsheng has not expressed his position until now. Could it be that my lord has some strong will to lock up men?"
Lu Yan himself felt a little strange. The speech he had been thinking about for a long time last night had not been used so far...
This feeling is a bit like if you have been preparing hard for several months to take the civil service exam, but you haven't even taken the written test yet, and your employer just said it would hire you...
If I had known this, why would I have spent so much time and effort thinking about it?
"Waste of half an hour of my sleep time..."
Lu Yan curled his lips and finally said: "Gong Cao is right, this raid on Wuhuan belongs to me, Lu Yan!"
"..."
"You two... colluded last night, right?" Guo Jia looked at Lu Yan with wide eyes and asked.
Lu Yan rolled his eyes at Guo Jia and replied: "You guys should take good care of Youzhou... The journey to the grassland is difficult and dangerous, and I'm afraid your small bodies won't be able to bear it."
Guo Jia and the other three fell silent immediately after hearing this.
"It turns out that this is the reason?"
Guo Jiahe and Xi Zhicai's health can barely stay on the healthy line.
Xun You was already in his forties now. He seemed to have been fifty-seven when he died, right?
Moreover, Xun You died on the way to conquer Wu with Cao Cao, and both he and Guo Jia died on the way... This is a bit taboo.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai didn't say anything. Xun You was a low-key and simple man with little ability. His relationship with Lu Yan had always been very close. Lu Yan didn't want them to go to hell anyway.
Lu Yan sighed slightly in his heart, "After all, I shouldered everything myself..."
Cao Cao knew in his heart that this was actually Lu Yan's own choice, but he couldn't show it too obviously. So Cao Cao had been secretly holding back and not telling the reason first, just waiting for Lu Yan to break the last layer of window paper.
"The climate in the north is very different from that in the Central Plains. Zhicai was snatched back from the hands of the King of Hell by my husband with great difficulty. Naturally, we cannot let him take risks. Fengxiao, Gongda, your body is not strong, so the best candidate is still
Mr. Lu."
Having said this, Cao Cao showed a trace of apology on his face and said to Lu Yan: "Sir, you are a master of martial arts. Even if you run thousands of miles, your body will definitely be able to withstand it..."
Before Lao Cao could finish speaking, Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cao, you don't need to explain anything. In fact, we have already thought of going together. Even if you want them to accompany you on this trip, I will take the initiative to dissuade you."
.”
When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but say with a hint of envy: "Sure enough, the one who understands the lord best is Changsheng; the one who understands Changsheng best is also the lord!"
"My lord and immortality are a match made in heaven... We are far inferior!" Xun You sighed in admiration with a smile.
Xi Zhicai handed over his hand and said: "Sir and the Lord complement each other. This is the blessing of the great man and the blessing of the people!"
