Everyone was talking about it. Cao Zhi looked around and found that only Li Ru had not said a word so far.
Cao Zhi pressed his hands twice to signal for everyone to be quiet. After everyone was quiet for a while, he turned to Li Ru and said, "Mr. Li, Cao Zhi would like to thank you for your suggestion. Mr. is very talented and the whole thing is fine."
As expected by the husband, Cao Zhi admired him very much. It was really a blessing for Cao Zhi to have him."
Li Ru was very happy to hear Cao Zhi praising him, but he was very good at controlling his emotions like Lu Kang. He only showed a slight smile and immediately stood up and said respectfully: "My lord, please tell me, Li Ru is just lucky."
, I guessed it right at the moment, but I still didn’t expect that Governor Lu would ask my lord to do such a difficult and dangerous thing.”
Cao Zhi nodded and said, "Then what does Mr. Li think of this matter?"
Li Ru seemed a little hesitant and hesitated to speak. Cao Zhi immediately comforted him and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, but it doesn't matter. Everyone here is my brother. Even if you say something wrong, no one will blame you."
With Cao Zhi's words, it was like giving an order to the generals present. After all, Li Ru had just joined Cao Zhi's group, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense. But with Cao Zhi's reassurance, he became bolder. I saw
He twirled his short beard and said slowly: "Actually, it might not be a bad thing if my lord has the opportunity to escape from Wancheng!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Seeing Xia Houyuan and others' uncompromising expressions, Li Ru smiled and said: "No wonder you are confused. Since I was young, my ideas have been different from others."
At this time, Cao Zhi had put aside his worries about the village and became very curious, saying, "Mr. Li, why don't you come and listen?"
Li Ru drank the cold water in the bowl in one gulp and said seriously: "I think there are three reasons why your lord agreed to Lu Taishou to go to Ruxuwu: First, Lu Kang currently lives in Lujiang Taishou, but his family background is prominent and he is the most prestigious in the entire Jiangdong.
He is so high that no one can compare to him. The Lord is currently serving in Yangzhou. It is especially important to deal with personal connections in the future. Secondly, the army is most concerned about seniority. Without any military exploits or resume, he wants to command thousands of troops and fight in battles in the future, but also wants to
The subordinates were impressed, and there was no need to mention it. This time, Lu Kang did not want his son to be in danger, so he had no choice but to let the lord out. This may be the lord's opportunity. The lord is still young, and he has not been in Yangzhou for a long time.
The amount of combat experience directly determines the future development. If you act as a vanguard for others, you will not have the opportunity to truly lead the army independently. No matter how many battles you have, when will you be able to achieve your lifelong ambitions? That’s why I advocate that the lord should go as ordered and give it a try.
The taste of leading an independent army, you can also become familiar with the way of naval warfare, and use Zheng Bao's water thieves to sharpen the lord's sword."
Li Ru paused for a moment after saying this, checked everyone's reaction, stood up slowly, walked to the middle of Cao Zhi and others, and then lowered his voice and said: "Thirdly, back then, King Wuling of Zhao spread thousands of miles and wiped out all the people in Linhu.
After being drawn into the territory, the Linhu people who were good at riding and shooting also served as Zhao's cavalry, which greatly increased their strength. Don't you have this idea? There are many lakes and rivers in Yangzhou. If you can have your own cavalry,
The navy will definitely be of great benefit to the future. This is called killing two birds with one stone. It can escape the anxious defensive battle of Wan City, and it can also expand its own strength by blocking Zheng Bao. Since the opponent is a group of thieves, we
As long as you show benevolence, righteousness and benefits, I believe it will not be difficult to conquer. My lord, in today's world, if you don't have a lot of troops, how can you say you have a high position and power?"
Cao Zhi suddenly said: "It turns out that you want me to go to Ruxuwu to imitate King Wu Ling's hegemony and create a new situation."
King Wu Ling of Zhao State before the Qin Dynasty was once weak. He also took advantage of the opportunity to fight with the Lin Hu people, learned their exquisite riding and archery skills, and built a powerful army in a short period of time.
The cavalry not only swept across the Hu people, but also conquered the Central Plains. They were invincible and famous generals emerged in large numbers.
During this period, King Wuling ignored the objections of his ministers about "changing the ancient ways and rebelling against others" and resolutely accepted the changes in Hu's clothing, riding and shooting, and accepted the Hu people into his army.
The Hu people, who had no fixed residence and lived a poor life, but were very predatory, became a member of his army. King Wuling took advantage of the rapid movement of the Hu cavalry and adopted a guerrilla strategy. When the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy advances,
I retreated, conquered the Central Plains, and was invincible for a time. Not only did Zhao become one of the great powers, but it also caused the world to change the way of war, and there was a term for cavalry.
Li Ru smiled confidently and said: "I think this is something that must be done in the future. Do you think my lord wants to live under someone else's roof for the rest of his life?"
At this time, Cao Zhi was also excited by Li Ru's words. He also stood up, walked to a brazier, put his hands behind his back, and meditated alone: A real counselor can show differences, and the generals around Cao Zhi are like
Not to mention, the person who really played the role of counselor around Cao Zhi in the past was Mi Heng, but Mi Heng was still young and immature, and Mi Heng was frivolous. Besides, he is not with Cao Zhi now. Then there is Xia Houyuan, Xia Houyuan is a bit
He is strategic and mature, but his starting point is limited to protecting Cao Zhi's life and safeguarding the interests of the Cao family. It cannot take the situation to a certain height. On the contrary, it still has certain limitations. Now a comparison with Li Ru shows the gap.
Come on, Li Ru has rich experience, stands tall and sees far. Before Cao Zhi, no one around Cao Cao mentioned to Cao Zhi or Cao Cao about creating his own hegemony, although Cao Zhi knew in his heart that Cao Cao would definitely succeed in the future.
They wanted to achieve a great career, but the brothers had never been so bold and straightforward in front of outsiders.
Throughout history, the first people to propose this idea are often counselors and civil servants. Cao Zhi does not think that now is a good time for their brothers to create hegemony, but it is not a bad thing to continue to build up strength from now on. Besides, the recruitment of thieves during the Three Kingdoms period
It is too common in history. Cao Cao and Cao Zhi have done it before and are not afraid of doing it again. Chen Wen, Lu Kang and other great princes are also doing it. Even if Cao Zhi recruits some rebel troops, Lu Kang and Chen Wenying will not do it.
Say more.
When Cao Zhi turned around, he saw that everyone was dumbfounded looking at Li Ru. Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu and others were obviously frightened by Li Ru's obscene words. Most of the people here were not loyal and patriotic people, but no one was like this.
Such treasonous words were spoken outright. This was in the military camp of Lu Kang, who was famous for being a royalist. If Lu Kang had known a word of this, Cao Zhi and others would not have been directly tied up.
Xia Houyuan didn't even have time to raise objections. He first looked left and right at the doors and windows, and then motioned to Cao An and Xu Chu to go out for inspection.
