After a heavy rain, the stone tablet in the fields in the backyard of the Wei Mansion grew by more than three inches, which was higher than it had grown in the past three days.
This is because as long as the water is sufficient and the temperature is suitable, the germination and growth rate of soybeans will be much faster.
It seems that today's heavy rain has become the best catalyst for soybean germination...
Xun Yu looked at the rainy day under the eaves, then looked at the stone tablets that were lifted up again, and asked with a smile.
"Master Lu, it is certain that these three hundred thousand thieves will surrender."
"But you kept silent about the arrangement strategy? This makes Xun even more curious..."
Xun Yu's topic always revolved around the placement of the Yellow Turban Army, but this issue, in Lu Yu's view... was not a problem at all.
How should we place it?
You can't dig a hole and bury all the 300,000 Yellow Turbans like Bai Qi did, right?
Besides, isn’t it that we haven’t reached that stage yet?
A great man once mentioned in "On Contradiction" - "Concrete analysis of specific problems!"
“Mr.
Urgent matter? Xun Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he knew that Lu Yu was deliberately changing the topic, he was still curious as to what he was referring to.
"What is Mr. Cao's pressing concern? Mr. Lu, I would like to hear the details!"
"Do you two, Mr. Xun, know what a 'counselor' is? What is a 'chief counselor'?" Lu Yu asked directly...
This question is neither complex nor simple.
It was mentioned in the Taixue courses that Xun You and Yuan Shao were in the same class at that time, and their military course teacher was "Yang Qiu"...
And "Yang Qiu" is good at formulating strategies, and his ability to adapt to situations on the battlefield is far inferior to that of Cao Cao's military course teacher "Duan Ji"!
As mentioned in military courses, counselors have specific divisions of labor and cannot be unified.
For example, some are good at recruiting generals before the war; some are good at logistics in the rear;
There are those who specialize in spying on the emotions of our soldiers; there are those who specialize in surveying the terrain;
There are also those who specialize in helping the coach analyze the characteristics of enemy generals.
Among many sub-items, only one "chief counselor" is allowed. The opinions of all parties are gathered to him, and then he exchanges opinions with the coach, formulates the combat formation, and makes on-the-spot coordination.
It's just...how to answer this?
Before Xun Yu and Xun You could speak, Lu Yu asked questions one after another. "Mr. Xun, do you think you are qualified to serve as the 'chief adviser' under Cao Gong?"
hiss…
Xun Yu and Xun You were silent.
There is a word between counselor and chief counselor, but there is a huge difference between them.
Xun Yu is better at internal affairs and good at deducing the overall situation;
Xun You is good at designing clever strategies and formulating strategies.
They all take a specific "division of labor" in the strategy to the extreme...
...Being a specialized "strategist" or military advisor is enough for you, but a "chief consultant" is more important to play a role in wartime, which requires strong on-the-spot adaptability.
It is recorded in ancient books that when Cao Cao met Guo Jia for the first time, he asked Guo Jia what was the most important quality for a "chief counselor"?
At that time, Guo Jia calmly answered that war is the same as playing chess. No war is planned in advance. Familiarity with military books is just an introduction. The difference between a counselor and a "chief counselor" lies in adapting to the situation.
That’s right, it’s just a matter of urgency!
In terms of counselors, not to mention Xun Yu and Xun You, even Cao Cao himself... was also a resourceful person. He could make arrangements in advance, strategize and so on, and do it well.
But why did we always suffer losses in the past wars against the Yellow Turbans? If you think about it carefully, it is more because of the lack of on-the-spot response. Often at critical moments, there was insufficient flexibility, and as a result, we suffered big losses.
Naturally, Xun Yu and Xun You could not make up for this, and even he, Lu Yu, could not make up for it...
Responding to situations on the spot is no joke, maybe it’s Zhao Kuo who is just talking on paper!
However, Lu Yu knows that there are two people in Yingchuan... Their ability to adapt to situations is unparalleled in the world. One of them is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. However, at this moment, he should still be involved in Yuan Camp and cannot be reused!
The second is Xi Zhicai. Although there are very few records about him in "Deduction", this big brother's ability to adapt to situations is by no means weaker than Guo Jia!
It is said in later generations that until Zhicai dies, Guo Jia will not emerge, and until Guo Jia dies, Crouching Dragon will not emerge. This is not entirely groundless.
…
hiss…
Qualified as "Chief Advisor"!
When Lu Yu brought up his words to this point, Xun Yu and Xun You still didn't understand.
Isn't it Cao Cao's top priority to find a chief strategist who is "excellent in resourcefulness" and has outstanding ability to "respond to circumstances"?
call…
After thinking about this, Xun Yu and Xun You exhaled in unison.
He is worthy of Yinlin. Looking at the thoroughness of things, even Xun Yu, who prides himself on having amazing eyesight, would be ashamed of himself.
"Young Master Lu said that, he probably has a suitable candidate in mind, right?" Xun Yu asked with a smile...
"Well..." Lu Yu gave up.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xun Yu. "Mr. Xun, why do you need to ask me?"
"There are many talents in Yingchuan, and most of them have a close relationship with Mr. Xun. Doesn't Mr. Xun already have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Smart people speak to the point...
Xun Yu had a wisp of beard and thought for a moment...
Not to mention, after Lu Yu mentioned this, a name really came to his mind, Yingchuan Talent - Xi Zhicai!
Outstanding resourcefulness and excellent adaptability, who else would he be?
Just thought of this...
But a clear, sweet female voice was heard.
"My brother and the two Mr. Xuns seem to be chatting quite happily..." Cai Zhaoji walked over. "I have prepared the meal. My brother and the two Mr. Xuns might as well chat while eating."
"Two gentlemen, please..."
Cai Zhaoji made a gesture of invitation, which was generous and polite.
As early as when Lu Yu started talking to Xun Yu and Xun You, she deliberately walked away.
Deeply influenced by Confucianism, Cai Zhaoji knew that women should not interfere too much in government and military affairs, otherwise it would lead to unforeseen consequences!
Therefore, she went to the kitchen to assist the cook... and prepared rich meals for brother Lu Yu and the two Mr. Xuns.
"Thank you, Miss Cai..."
Xun Yu and Xun You saluted Cai Yan and immediately walked to the dining hall with Lu Yu.
Not to mention, from chatting in the morning light to dusk, enjoying the rain, admiring the monument... time passed very quickly, and my stomach had already started to growl.
But at this moment.
"Master Lu, the two Mr. Xuns... stay here."
But I saw the owner of the mansion, Mr. Wei Hongwei, walking in from outside the pavilion, looking a little anxious.
"Old Wei..."
Lu Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You paused.
Wei Hong had already walked in front of them.
"Great victory, great victory on the front line..."
"News has just been sent back that three hundred thousand moth thieves are shouting, 'Destiny returns to Cao, Huang Tian is overthrown'! It seems that they... they are going to surrender!"
He was so excited and excited that even Wei Hong's old bones were trembling...
The moth thieves have been struggling for several years, and finally... they are about to surrender. The Yanzhou clan and people are about to get ahead.
Of course...he was very excited...
The expressions of Lu Yu, Xun Yu and Xun You were unexpectedly calm. To be precise, it should be said that they were not surprised.
It's just an expected ending...
"Right..."
Wei Hong suddenly thought of something. "Meng Dezheng is leading his army to Chen Liu..."
"He sent an urgent message and said he would arrive tomorrow. Then he would invite Mr. Lu Yu and Mr. Xun to go to the government office to discuss matters."
"I heard from the messenger that Mengde also invited the major clans and celebrities in Yanzhou... to discuss the placement of the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army!"
As soon as this statement came out...
Xun Yu's eyes narrowed and he murmured in his heart.
Sure enough...Cao Cao also realized that these 300,000 surrendered soldiers were not as easy to arrange as imagined! 300,000 mouths, 300,000 hidden dangers...big trouble!
However, Xun Yu's eyes looked at Lu Yu. Today... what kind of opinion will "Yinlin" have on this matter?
