Chapter 116 Growth
The person who came was none other than a trick.

Apart from the surprise on Lu Bu's face, there was more joy that couldn't be concealed, "Sir, why is it you!"

"Heh, why can't it be me?" The accounted Xie Tse asked with a chuckle.

Lu Bu hastily set aside the painting halberd and moved a mat. Knowing that Xi Ce was afraid of the cold, he specially brought a square cotton cloth, dusted it lightly twice, covered it, and then asked Xi Ce to sit down .

Xi Ce was not polite, he sat down on the mat covered with cotton cloth, not in the upright posture that a literati should have. Instead, he crossed his legs and made himself a cup of warm water.

After Xi Ce took a sip, Lu Bu just sat down, facing Xi Ce, and asked worriedly: "Sir, my Wei Niang has not been bullied, has she?"

The trick of drinking water was almost choked by Lu Bu's words, and he looked at this tall man with a worried face very depressed, and put the pottery cup in his hand on the table, his face turned sharply, and he beat his chest and wailed almost in grief and indignation "General, I have traveled thousands of miles to look for you. Don't tell me you only care about your own wife and don't care about our lives... Alas, the world is going down, the world is going down..."

Xi Ce sighed and shook his head, his words were full of bitterness and misery.

If he had just gotten acquainted with Xi Ce, Lu Bu would definitely feel guilty when he heard these words, but the two had known each other for several months, plus Xi Ce was hanging out in the military camp on a daily basis, and he had already learned the naughty kung fu from those rough and reckless men. .Lu Bu didn't know that this was a joke deliberately made fun of him, but he didn't say anything.

In the entire military camp, if he was second in eloquence in drama tactics, no one dared to claim to be the number one.

Lu Bu didn't respond, and the jokes were naturally no longer fun. He casually flipped through the bamboo slips that Lu Bu was reading just now, glanced at the two lines, and then began to tease again: "This 'national policy' has always been regarded by Confucianism as a heresy, and it's out of touch with the classics." The book of Tao, why did the general have time to read this, could it be that he also wants to abandon martial arts and follow literature to become a debater?"

This national policy is also called the Warring States Policy in later generations. It mainly records the political opinions and words and deeds strategies of the lobbyists in the Warring States Period.

"Heretics?" Lu Bu was suspicious, then shook his head and said, "Bu has little reading, so he has never heard of this matter, but it is recorded in the book that Su Qin, Tang Ju and others, even though they were scholars, dared to fight against tigers and wolves, and they were still envoys." Bu's integrity is also admirable."

After listening to Xi Ce, he nodded secretly. It is quite commendable for Lu Bu to think so.

However, the purpose of Xi Ce's coming here was not to discuss academic issues with Lu Bu. He put the bamboo slips back to the original place and asked casually: "I heard that the governor gave the general three days to capture Guangyan City. Now that the general still has the mind to read books here, I think Guangyan is already at his fingertips."

Mentioning this matter, Lu Bu sighed faintly, with a rather sad expression on his face, "Mr. is not an outsider, and Bu will not hide it from you. If you want to capture Guangyan City within three days, there is no chance of winning at all. I Originally, I planned to fight and kill a few Xianbei generals so that the Xianbei people would flee without fighting, but now it seems that it will not work."

Xi Ce put his hands into his cuffs, bent his body slightly, and was out of breath after hearing the heroic nine-foot man, but he didn't offer any words of comfort, instead he asked as if he was watching a good show: "Then just wait like this, the general, wait for three When the time comes, accept the military law?"

As soon as these words came out, the harmonious atmosphere in the big tent suddenly disappeared.

Is it a test, or a test?

Lu Bu couldn't make a decision in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared sharply at Xie Tse sitting opposite him, as if he wanted to see clearly the true thoughts of this frail young man.

Xi Ce also looked at Lu Bu, with a hint of playfulness in his calm eyes.

The moment the four eyes met, there was a flash of lightning.

Neither of them opened their mouths, and there was a stalemate for a while, but in the end Lu Bu was defeated.With a relaxed expression, he took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Xi Ce, and said calmly, "Sir, you should know that Bu is never a person who just sits and waits to die."

"Oh?"

The playful look on Xi Ce's face became more and more intense, and even the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "General, you have to think about what will happen next. Not to mention how those knife and pen officials will say extremely vicious words, in Leave a mark in the history books, can the emperor and hundreds of officials sitting in Luoyang forgive you?"

Lu Bu's expression froze. He just thought that the trick was to test himself, but he didn't expect to see through his true thoughts at a glance.

"I can't control that much anymore. The entire Bingzhou has already been gambled on this expedition. Zhang Yi doesn't know how to command the troops at all. Letting him give orders will only harm everyone." Lu Bu's dull tone was filled with incomparable decisiveness.

"Hehe, these are just the high-sounding reasons you came up with, General." Jockey shook his head slightly, and ruthlessly pierced the window paper.Before Lu Bu opened his mouth to refute, Joce went on to say, "Take a step back, even if you get rid of Zhang Yi, the tens of thousands of Hanoi troops will not respect you. Once they join forces to attack you, they will fight against you alone." Your wolf cavalry battalion has hundreds of cavalry soldiers, and you are also hitting stones with eggs."

At that time, facing the enemy, not to mention expelling the Xianbei people, I am afraid that I will be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.

After listening to the analysis of the tactics, Lu Bu nodded. Obviously he also expected such a situation. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "To tell the truth, sir, I have asked someone to draw the garrison of the Hanoi Army quietly. Topographic map. Tomorrow night, I will ask Song Xian, as Zhang Yi's confidant, to go to the Hanoi army to invite those generals to the county government to discuss matters, and then I will control them all."

"What if they don't allow it?" Xi Ce asked casually.

Lu Bu didn't answer any more, just rubbed his forehead fiercely, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck, so don't blame me for being cruel.

"Whether it's family hatred or national hatred, we can't lose this battle!"

"Even if Qiangu scolded him, I, Lu Bu, will admit it."

Lu Bu's face was serious, but Joce suddenly smiled.He found that the young man in front of him seemed to have matured a lot. Compared with when he met for the first time, relying on his own courage, he fell into a dead situation and survived. Now he already knows how to use his not stupid head. Pre-emptive strikes.Although his so-called foolproof plan was as naive as a child in the eyes of jokes, this tiger, who used to only use brute force, finally understands that wisdom is also a means.

Drama is very pleased, this man is growing up.

As for how far he can grow, he really has some expectations.

"Sir, what are you laughing at?" Lu Bu didn't know why.

Xi Ce's smile remained the same, "General, can you give Xi a certain amount of time to ensure that he can capture Guangyan City without a single soldier?"

"Sir, do you have a good plan?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up. If he hadn't been forced to, he didn't want to go to the last step.

Looking at Lu Bu's eager eyes, the tricks were very leisurely. After Lu Bu's appetite was whetted, he said slowly, "I dare not say good tricks, but I can try them."

From Baokou Valley to Yunzhong County, and then to Yanmen Pass, Heyu Mountain, there were dozens of battles, big and small, and Lu Bu was never disappointed by the drama.

Lu Bu stood up in awe, clasped his fists, and said sonorously, "Your Majesty, just give orders, and the wolf riding battalion is willing to listen to you."

Standing up, Lu Bu was nine feet tall, and Xi Ce raised his head almost at a right angle. Feeling the pain in his neck, he lowered it again, "General, you can fight as usual tomorrow. There should be eyebrows."

The Xianbei people in the city were already terrified, and even if they went to fight again, there would be little effect. Although Lu Bu didn't know what the trick was, he clasped his fists in response.

Afterwards, Xi Ce asked Lv Bu to find Hu Che'er, saying that he had a task assigned to him, and told Lv Bu: "Ma'am, everything is fine, the general can rest assured, I still have more than a dozen dead soldiers with extraordinary talents." Potential Youxi Village, I guarantee that no one will hurt Madam in the slightest."

After learning about it, Lu Bu was completely relieved, nodded in response, and prepared to leave the tent to find Hu Che'er.

Watching Lu Bu's leaving figure, Xi Ce picked up the cup of tea that Lu Bu had just poured for him, lifted the bottom of the cup with two fingers, took a sip, and closed his eyes so refreshed, he muttered to himself contentedly, "'The tigers of the world are already born with the spirit of swallowing pythons'. They have the skills and courage, but their ambitions are still far behind, so let's raise them for a while. Zhang Yi, Zheng Song and others are just stepping stones, and it's okay to get rid of them later. Don't worry, don't worry..."

Feeding a tiger is like feeding an eagle, and if it is not full, it will eat people.
