Lu Dynasty

Chapter 657 Caution
Guo Tu was not too surprised to see me, because he had long been mentally prepared that I was still alive.In fact, apart from Yuan Shao, few people really believed the news of my death.Just like Cao said: Lu Feng is so powerful, if he died so easily, unless it is God's punishment!When Guo Tu saw me, he smiled and said, "Let me just say, Prime Minister Lu is a rare hero in the world. How could he be easily killed by Yuan Shao? Yuan Benchu ​​thought that he could hurt the prime minister with a little poison. It's ridiculous. !"

"Mr. Guo's words are wrong!" I laughed and said, "I started practicing martial arts at the age of seven, and since I went to battle at the age of twelve or thirteen, Yuan Shao was the first person who could injure me. I have suffered a lot, and the taste of bone scraping and healing is not something ordinary people can bear! However, I am very grateful to him. If he hadn’t hurt me, maybe I would still be a character like Xiang Yu. If I really changed If you are self-willed and arrogant, that is the catastrophe for our army!"

"The Prime Minister is joking!" Guo Tucai didn't believe me, if I could become a character like Xiang Yu, then what would Yuan Shao be?Don't look at Yuan Shao's resourcefulness and lack of decision-making, but once he decides on something, even eight horses can't turn back!Guo Tu laughed and said, "Just because the prime minister is so modest, I know that you will not become a self-willed person! Yuan Shao is right with you, it's like a mantis arm!"

"Mr. Guo!" I looked at Guo Tu and said with a smile: "Since you have come to join me, I will treat you well! However, I have to wrong you for a while! You are also a counselor under Yuan Shao, and you should understand the military affairs Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, you must pay attention to it! You are new here, and you have said many things yourself. I have to verify it. It is not because I don’t believe you, but to be cautious!”

"Prime Minister treats people with sincerity, and Tu deeply admires it! Prime Minister, don't call me Mr. Guo, but call me Gong!" Guo Tu said with a smile: "As for you saying that you will wrong me for a while, I believe that under your command, Even if you are wronged, it will not hurt your life! I heard that you once promised that you would not let your own people die unless you had to. Just because of this, many people are willing to work for you. In addition, you are kind and treat your subordinates Just like siblings, so far, I have never heard of anyone who has betrayed you. I firmly believe that you will not betray me!"

"Gongze, what you said is wrong!" I looked at Guo Tu and said seriously: "I am really good to the people under my command, and I treat them as brothers! But if they betray me, they are my enemies! Brothers and sisters, I will naturally give them the warmth of spring, but I will never show mercy to the enemy! If my intelligence department finds out that you are a spy or a spy sent by Yuan Shao, then it will not be wronging you. I will take your head on your neck!"

Guo Tu Yili finally said: "Tu sincerely voted, the prime minister need not be suspicious. I know the prime minister is cautious, and you can go and investigate what I say. If you find out that someone is not sincere in voting, such a head, let the prime minister deal with it!" "

I helped Guo Tu up and said with a smile: "Gongze really makes sense! Since that's the case, please go down and rest first. I will ask Feng Xiao to verify the words of Gongze as soon as possible. If it is true, I will apologize to Gongze!"

"Prime Minister is serious!" Guo Tu laughed and said, "If you trust me easily, I will be disappointed! As the commander-in-chief of the first army, in charge of the life and death of the entire army, if he doesn't have this caution, Tu will feel that he is entrusted to no one! "

"You know right from wrong, Yuan Shao can't use you, it's his loss!" I praised Guo Tu, but I laughed in my heart. If Guo Tu sincerely voted, he must know where Yuan Shao's grain is stored. If I burn Yuan Shao's food and grass, Yuan Shao's loss will be really great!
After hearing my praise, Guo Tu said with some embarrassment: "A person who betrays the master, how dare he be praised by the prime minister! If he can make a little contribution for the prime minister, Tu will be satisfied!"

"Okay! I'll give you a chance! When the time comes, you have to perform well and don't let me down!" I patted Guo Tu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Gongze came from Yecheng and worked hard all the way. I will arrange a place for you, you should rest for a few days, and when you get busy, you will have no free time!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for not giving up!" Guo Tu was very satisfied with my arrangement and attitude. After he saluted me, he followed the school to his tent!I also arranged several guards for him, not only to protect his safety, but also to monitor him.However, Guo Tu didn't mind.The more cautious I am, the more confidence he has in me. A counselor is not a military general. A military commander requires boldness, but a counselor requires caution. Only a cautious counselor can make a difference, and only a cautious counselor can protect himself in this troubled world and own family.There is a saying about counselors like this: Those who cannot honor their bodies when they advance, and cannot guard their homes when they retreat, are mediocre!I think, as long as they are counselors, they are not willing to be mediocre!
After sending Guo Tu away, I immediately had someone call Guo Jia.When Guo Jia got up in the morning, he heard people say that Guo Tulai had defected. He was as excited as I was, because the intelligence department failed to find out Yuan Shao's grain storage area several times.Since Xu You voted for Cao, Guo Jia and I hoped to alienate a high-ranking member of Yuan Shaojun.However, there are many righteous men in Hebei, and the uprightness in the temperament of Hebei military generals and counselors makes them dislike betraying the Lord. If they were not too sad, Guo Tu would not abandon Yuan Shao!Just say that Jushou, Shenpei, Tian Feng and Yuan Shao treated them like that in history, and they still never leave Yuan Shao.Guo Tu is a little less upright and a little more cunning than Jushou and others, that's why he came to me after being hurt by Yuan Shao!As for Xu You, this old man has seen all the good and bad in Luoyang, and he went to Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao was his friend's face, so his abandoning Yuan to Cao is not counted as a betrayal of the master!
Guo Jia is so smart. After he knew that Guo Tu was here to vote, he immediately ordered the personnel of the intelligence department stationed in Jizhou to inquire about all the news about Guo Tu. No matter the trivial matters in life or his situation in Yuan Jun, it is best to go into detail every day!When I summoned Guo Jia, he had already done everything I asked him to do and was sitting there drinking tea!When Guo Jia arrived at my tent, I just wanted to order him to check Guo Tu's details, Guo Jia laughed and said, "Do you want me to check Guo Tu? There must be rewards!" Guo Jia looked very proud of my stunned expression. In his opinion, as a counselor, he should think in front of the lord in everything, and give advice when the lord asks, but I often want to be in front of him. , This makes him feel that he is not responsible as a counselor, so he often thinks more about things, hoping to think about what I think, and worry about what I worry about!Of course, if he can't be sure what I'm thinking, he will never make decisions without authorization!
