Li Ru said solemnly: "Look, Mr. Cao, Lu Kang has led so many enemies to Wancheng. Although Wancheng has high walls and wide troops, it can block these enemy forces for a while, but it cannot withstand the enemy's siege for many years.
If the enemy army persists for months or years and does not retreat for several years, the city's food, grass, troops, and morale will not be able to withstand it. If Lu Kang is so sure, where is his way to win? What is his strategy for retreating from the enemy?"
It can be said that Li Ru's words are on point. This is also the doubt that has accumulated in the hearts of Cao Zhi and others. Cao Zhi nodded and urged Li Ru: "Military advisor, continue, continue."
Li Ru was obviously in a state of mind, and he didn't care about his manners. He sat down with Cao Zhi under a table, and said to everyone, "In Li Ru's humble opinion, Lu Kang must have a powerful future."
Zhao, he not only wants to defend Wancheng, I think he wants to wipe out all these enemy forces and completely solve the hidden dangers in Lujiang that have troubled him for many years."
At this time, Cao Zhi, Xia Houyuan and others had to re-examine Li Ru. This person was not only a show-off and hypocrite, but he did have some abilities. He only relied on what Wang Ping had seen and heard in the army, plus
Lu Kang's intentions can be deduced from some scattered gossip and rumors. It cannot be said that he is definitely correct, but it at least shows that this person has super analytical ability. As a wise man, the prerequisite is to be good at synthesizing all aspects.
information and put forward your own opinions.
Cao Zhi and Xia Houyuan exchanged glances. They had also made similar speculations about Lu Kang. Li Ru's idea could be said to coincide with theirs. Cao Zhi, Xia Houyuan and others had always wanted to find out how Lu Kang retreated from the enemy.
Method, but that cold guy likes to hide everything in his belly, Lu Kang, is really hard to figure out.
This time, Xia Houyuan, who had not seen him for a long time, couldn't help but speak: "Then according to what the military advisor said, what next move will Lu Kang have?" After Xia Houyuan followed Cao Zhi and others into Li Ru's residence, he rarely spoke.
He is an honest man and likes to speculate on others silently. Now that Li Ru finally talked about his key point about the whole matter, he could no longer bear to ask.
Li Ru raised his head and looked around, enjoying the feeling of being noticed for a while, and then said loudly: "Lu Kang wants to come to a center to bloom!"
Cao Zhi's head snapped, "74th Division, Zhang Lingfu", but Cao Zhi immediately returned to normal. He kept reminding himself that this was the era of the Three Kingdoms. It was just a coincidence that Li Ru also said the same thing.
Just when Cao Zhi was thinking wildly, Xia Houyuan asked impatiently: "What's the method of central flowering?"
Li Ru cleared his throat and said: "Lu Kang is now attracting these Lujiang phantoms around Wancheng. As long as Lu Kang persists for a certain period of time and loses some enemy troops, as long as a surprise troop arrives from the periphery, these people will
Jiangxia barbarians and Zheng Bao's rebels surrounded them. Jiangxia barbarians and Zheng Bao would be able to break up without fighting. Then as long as Lu Kang is ruthless, it won't be a big problem to rape all these bandits."
Li Ru's words are not unreasonable. The most important thing in using troops is surprise. It is not impossible for Lu Kang to use this "central flowering" technique. Zhang Lingfu did not succeed, which does not necessarily mean that Lu Kang cannot succeed. In ancient times, communication was not developed as much as during the Liberation War.
Due to the slow transmission, Lu Kang could completely attract these enemy troops and let the surrounding troops advance slowly, but where were the reinforcements coming from outside Wancheng?
Xia Houyuan also questioned Li Ru, and Li Ru was speechless. After all, he was outside the whole incident. It was no different that he could guess Lu Kang's intentions based on some limited information.
Cao Zhi was deep in thought at this moment. As far as he knew, Lu Kang probably had more than 10,000 troops scattered in various counties in Lujiang. Even if they were all mobilized to surround and rape these enemy troops, it might not be enough. There was also Chen Wen.
It is reasonable to send troops to help Lu Kang quell the rebellion. After all, Lujiang belongs to Yangzhou. As the governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen should send troops to quell the rebellion within his jurisdiction. But isn't he, the captain of Yangzhou, already here? Chen Wen
He knew how much property there was. Now that Liyang Prefecture had no troops except Zaodi's three thousand troops, how could he help Lu Kang quell the chaos?
But when I think about it, this is just Li Ru's guess. It's unknown whether Lu Kang really designed it like this. Anyway, I have to meet Lu Kang later. This matter is not urgent. Let's deal with Li Ru and Wang Ping's affairs first.
Say it again.
So Cao Zhi told Li Ru and others to forget about it, end the business here, and go with him. Cao Zhi officially asked Li Ru to be his counselor, and Wang Ping became his captain of the bodyguard. Now Cao Zhi is not a big official, but
It is still possible to have two more staff members, and there is no need to go through anyone.
Li Ru and Wang Ping readily agreed without any struggle this time. After all, it was a mutual trial and competition before, and Li Ru didn't want to live by talking about ancient times. Li Ru didn't have any objections, and Wang Ping had no problem.
Yes, he is a bloody man, and Cao Zhi has been kind to him. People like him value a drop of kindness, which should be repaid by a spring. As for Bai Rao of the Black Mountain Army, he can only repay him personally.
A favor.
Li Ru was obviously still unfinished. He had many things hidden in his stomach and wanted to throw them out at once. But Cao Zhi saw that it was getting late and he had an appointment with Lu Kang. He didn't want to delay, so he told Li Ru that they would get along in the future.
As time goes by, there is no rush.
Li Ru thought about it, but he still picked out the most important thing and said something. He said: "Mr. Cao! I heard from Wang Ping that you have a weapon that can emit fire, and you have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in this battle to defend the city.
, killed countless enemies.”
Cao Zhi said: "Yes, that's called explosives. An old farmer from my hometown asked me to prepare it. Why do you ask?"
Li Ru said meaningfully: "Mr. Cao, such sharp objects are like valuable treasures to any ambitious person. Gong Cao must be careful. I believe that the common man is not guilty and harbors the jade."
Confucianism said that Mr. Cao would understand even if he could."
Cao Zhi and Xia Houyuan were immediately alarmed. They chewed on Li Ru's reminder and thought to themselves: "This is something they ignored. They only focused on repelling the enemy and didn't think much about it. Now that they think about it carefully, they have no idea about today's chaotic era.
It is said that whoever masters such high-end weapons is tantamount to being able to dominate one party, so he should be more careful in the future."
Cao Zhi even thought that the only person in Wancheng who could do this "killing people and seizing treasures" was Lu Kang, and it was also Lu Kang that Li Ruyin shot. Fortunately, through the consumption of the two southeastern cities, the explosives he had stored around him had been
Not much more. Based on Cao Zhi’s understanding of Lu Kang’s character, Lu Kang always claimed to be a noble person, so he shouldn’t have to do such a thing. Besides, this recipe is controlled by his own people, and others can steal it.
Due to the technical conditions, it is very difficult to try to configure it.
Of course, Cao Zhi did not forget to thank Li Ru, and Cao Zhi was very generous. Wang Ping made military exploits in the battle to defend the city at the east gate. Cao Zhi was also prepared to praise Wang Ping and take him with him to meet Lu Kang.
