Chapter 69: Cao Zixiao persuaded Lu Su
Lu Su has never seen Huang Zhong before, but he also knows what "the unfair scholar" is. Speaking of which, as a top strategist, Lu Su is also aware of the information he has. Not only is he familiar with the information he has, but it is not much different.
-----------------------------------------------------
So don’t he know whether Huang Zhong is a man of war on paper or a person with real abilities? So because he is the latter, he has to pay attention to it.
Cao Ren laughed at him, then looked at Lu Su, and said, "Could Mr. Zijing dare not advance?"
If Cao Ren asked this, it would be a bit mysterious. After all, the reason why he came to Lu Su this time was to bring Jiangdong Army to Linxiang with him and fight with Huang Zhong. However, before he could say that Lu Su would be with him, he asked directly, "Do you, Lu Su, dare not go there?" So what Cao Ren said was not very good at this negotiation, but it does not mean that he could not go to the negotiation.
When Lu Su heard this, he laughed in his heart. To be honest, he didn't know Cao Ren's plan yet, so he pretended not to know and asked in confusion: "I don't know what General Cao means?"
At this time, Lu Su asked knowingly and began to pretend to be stupid. When Cao Ren heard this, he snorted directly, "Hmph!" He thought to himself that Lu Su is too fake, he knows everything, but he pretends not to know.
-----------------------------------------------------
However, Cao Ren could not say that, so he said: "Mr. Zijing, I came here this time to invite Mr. Hu to join us to advance together! I wonder if I have said this, do you understand?"
After hearing Cao Ren's words, Lu Su nodded slightly. He seemed to have no idea before. Although he didn't realize it suddenly, he was almost the same as he did.
Cao Ren despised him, but he couldn't say anything. So after seeing Lu Su nodding, he asked again: "I wonder what sir?"
When Lu Su heard this, he thought for a moment, "General Cao, according to my opinion, it is actually better to go to other county towns. After all, Linxiang is indeed not easy to seize! If it were our army, I would rather lead troops to attack other places!"
In fact, Lu Su's words were already very obvious. It meant that he told Cao Ren that if you advance to other places except Linxiang, we may cooperate with each other, and it is not impossible for Linxiang to send troops together, but I'm sorry, I can't do it for the time being.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Cao Ren saw that Lu Su Lu Zijing was not up to the Tao. What should I do? He was not good at persuading others, so he must be much better than him. So don’t let himself convince him, he will convince himself first. Isn’t that? Judging from the current situation, it is really going to happen that Cao Ren is thinking about at this moment.
However, Cao Ren was not the one who was waiting to die. He could not wait for Lu Su to convince him, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, actually, I think that as long as we join forces to take Linxiang, then the other counties in Changsha will be allowed to be obtained?"
When Lu Su heard this, he laughed. "Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
When Cao Ren saw Lu Su like this, he was confused. He still asked, "Why are you laughing, sir?"
This Lu Su's smile really made Cao Ren feel a little panicked. He found that Lu Su's smile was definitely not a kind smile. To put it nicely, he thought it was interesting, but not nice. That was Lu Su laughing at him. Isn't that what he felt like to Cao Ren!
-----------------------------------------------------
So Cao Ren asked, what does Lu Su mean? Could it be that he laughed at himself?
Lu Su shook his head slightly. "General Cao, please think, if this can easily seize Linxiang, then why would I give up the opportunity to cooperate with the general?"
When Cao Ren heard this, yes. Yes, right, isn't it? This is such a smart person. If he and his Jiangdong Army united together and could take Linxiang, would Lu Su cooperate with him? Will he? He did not think about this before. Now, after hearing what he said, it seems that this is true.
Then, the reason why Lu Su did not cooperate with him was because he did not think that his Yanzhou army and their Jiangdong army could defeat Linxiang. Or, even if he finally took Linxiang, it would be more than worth the loss.
Cao Ren is an idea-worthy coach after all, so when Lu Su mentioned him, he thought of it immediately. If he hadn't thought about it before, could he still think of it at this time? Lu Su had already said so.
-----------------------------------------------------
As a result, when Lu Su asked this, Cao Ren was indeed a little stuck. The key is that he was really not good at saying anything. Moreover, Cao Ren also knew that Lu Su was right, but although he was not stubborn, as long as he thought about being able to fight the Liangzhou army, as long as he took Linxiang, it would be equivalent to taking the entire Changsha. He was more excited. After all, Cao Ren was indeed a relatively straightforward person. If he didn't do it, then doing that complicated one was indeed not in line with his personality.
Of course he also knew that what Lu Su said was not unreasonable, but that was only expected and something had not happened yet, so this was not really what he said, so...
Cao Ren said at this time: "Sir, don't you think about it more? We may not be so difficult to win Linxiang!"
When Lu Su heard this, he shook his head and said to himself that Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, you are still a little underestimating the enemy. If Huang Zhong is so easy to deal with, can Ma Mengqi let him stay in Changsha? Even if he doesn't think about it, can Ma Chao not take Changsha seriously? So he can leave Huang Hansheng and defend him here, which doesn't explain any problem?
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing Lu Su's firm attitude, Cao Ren was not allowed to get into the air. He really thought that his two sides could not be united, and it was not possible?
He was indeed a little angry at this time. It can be said that Lu Su didn't give him much face before, so Cao Ren sarcastically said, even if it was over, he really wouldn't be angry. After all, although Cao Ren was not as broad as possible, he was definitely not a narrow-minded person. But Lu Su was so dissatisfied with him at this time. Should he let himself give up this face and beg you Lu Zijing? Cao Ren said in his heart that if this is the case, it would be better to kill him.
Cao Ren must not be able to do this, so how could he not be angry? Then he said blankly: "Sir, isn't this matter really undiscussed?"
Lu Su smiled, "Why did General Cao say that? Didn't this say before? As long as the general temporarily gives up attacking Linxiang, then no matter where he goes, our army will accompany him to the end!"
-----------------------------------------------------
After hearing this, Cao Ren thought to himself, there is no difference between saying this and not saying it. Don’t I know it yet? I haven’t heard it before, alas, this is really...
After a while, Cao Ren didn't say anything, and he didn't understand that Lu Su could not fight with him once? But seeing how he looked like this, he should have been determined.
At this time, Lu Su spoke, "General Cao, I really don't want to part ways with the general. If we attack other county towns, our army will definitely be with us, but now I can't agree to deal with Linxiang!"
As he said that, Lu Su showed a regretful expression. That meaning, he really couldn't agree. When Cao Ren saw it, he thought that Lu Su was also a famous person, but he was so timid here? But he couldn't say this, and could only say sarcastically: "If Sun Bofu was here, as his hero, then he would definitely not be like this. I thought he would have agreed to our army's proposal long ago! Now, hum!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren's meaning, your lord will definitely agree here. Moreover, Sun Bofu is a hero, unlike some people who are just scholars, and they should not be of great use.
However, although Lu Su could hear Cao Ren's meaning in and out of his words, he certainly would not say anything about it. He just said to Cao Ren: "General Cao, even if the lord is here, I must advise him that he must not advance to Linxiang!"
When he said this, Cao Ren was so angry that he slapped the table, "Lu Zijing, you are pure and unwilling to give me face!"
Lu Su smiled bitterly, "Why do General Cao do it? Why do you have to do this? As long as you don't advance to Linxiang, there is no room for cooperation!" (To be continued...)
