The book is picked up again.

"......" After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, he was silent, which was a topic he tried his best to avoid.

Of course, he knew that even if he used Li Zhi's method to contain the other princes, the casualties among the civilians would be very large!

But he really has no choice, if he doesn't use Li Zhi's lose-lose method now, then in the end, maybe he will be ruined because of the weakening plan of the princes!

As the so-called dead friends do not die poor, although Cao Cao also sympathizes with those ordinary people, but if he is asked to choose between his own forces and the common people, then he will not hesitate to choose his own forces!

"Hehehe......" Unlike Cao Cao, after Li Zhi heard Xun Yu's questioning, not only did he not be silent, but chuckled.

"Brother Xingzhi, when did you become so cold?" Xun Yu saw that Li Zhi could still laugh, and said bitterly: "Where did the virtuous brother who loved the people like a son go in the past?!"

In the past, even if you tried everything, you were not willing to harm the common people, why did you plan such a ruthless plan at this time? Have you really become apathetic?! ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhi didn't get angry or refute when he heard Xun Yu's words, and after chuckling, he asked an irrelevant question, "Brother Wen Ruo, do you know when an archer is the biggest threat?" ”

"......" Xun Yu is a very smart person, he was just angry just now, so he questioned Li Zhi.

But after hearing Li Zhi's question, he immediately calmed down.

Because according to his understanding of Li Zhidi, since Li Zhi could still ask this irrelevant question at this time, he must have wanted to use this question to answer his question.

Therefore, Xun Yu calmed down and thought about it.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head with a sense of understanding, looked at Li Zhi and said, "An archer is drawing arrows with his bow open, and when he doesn't trigger them, he is the most threatening!"

Because you don't know where he's going to shoot, and you don't know how this archer is doing.

Fear of the unknown!

So, it's dangerous when an archer draws an arrow at you! ”

After saying this, Xun Yu suddenly realized, he said why Li Zhi suddenly used such a ruthless strategy, it turned out that he was just threatening each other.

"That's right!" After Li Zhi heard Xun Yu's words, he nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, I know that if you really use a lose-lose strategy, it will only be those ordinary people who will suffer the most.

Therefore, I never intended to let Brother Meng De and the princes lose both! ”

"I see...... Xun Yu, who was still a little puzzled, immediately reacted after hearing Li Zhidi's words.

Then he thoughtfully continued Li Zhidi's words and said: "Xingzhi's virtuous brother wants to wait for the family to prepare the people and horses and plan to defeat the princes, and immediately release the news and tell the princes the movements of the family.

In this way, the princes will never dare to act rashly again!

Because their foundation is not as good as the lord, if they really lose both, then they must suffer more in the end!

Therefore, the reason why Xingzhi Xiandi proposed this method of losing both sides is not to really want to lose both with the princes, but to intimidate the princes so that they dare not use this method to weaken the lord, right? ”

Although Xun Yu was his question in the end, his eyes were full of certainty,

By now, he had completely figured out Li Zhidi's strategy

Although he doesn't know what nuclear and deterrence are, he can still understand the truth.

That's right, Li Zhi came up with this idea from the nuclear deterrence of later generations.

Li Zhi used this incident to tell the princes that if the princes really dared to send a small group of elite cavalry to Cao Cao's command to burn and loot, in order to weaken Cao Cao.

Then they will immediately treat others in the same way as others, and when the time comes, no one will have a good time!

No one is a fool, and the princes will definitely not dare to offend Cao Cao's subordinates again after knowing that Cao Cao intends to defeat them both!

Because their foundation is not as good as Cao Cao, they really plan to lose both, and they must be the ones who fail in the end!

In this way, the problem is solved!

"So that's the case" Cao Cao, who was kept in the dark, finally woke up at this time.

After he smiled bitterly, he glared at Li Zhi, and said angrily: "Brother Xingzhi, since you have already made plans, why didn't you tell Brother Wei?!"

Do you know that until now, my brother has been feeling guilty?! ”

"Hehehehe......" After Li Zhidi Cao Cao's words, he chuckled, and said casually while laughing: "Brother Meng De didn't ask, I thought that Brother Meng De had already figured it out,

Besides, in the eyes of Brother Meng De, he is the kind of person who ignores the common people and only pays attention to victory?! ”

"......" What else can Cao Cao say now? I can only be silent.

Because in the past, Li Zhi really focused on the people.

Didn't you see that he even did it for the sake of the common people, even educating the world?

Who would dare to say that he did not care about the common people?

In this way, Cao Cao really can't blame Li Zhi, and he can only blame himself for his own cranky thinking and not understanding Li Zhi's true meaning.

"Hu ......" Just when Cao Cao and Li Zhi were joking, Xun Yu on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, when he came in just now, he came in with the determination to die.

If Cao Cao doesn't change his mind, then he will crash to death in front of Cao Cao, admonishing him to death!

After knowing that it was a misunderstanding, he was reassured.

It's not that he's really afraid of death, it's that he thinks it's too sad to die like this!

Of course, in the end, people are still full of fear of death, so it is better not to die or not to die.

After knowing the truth of the matter, I immediately put my mind at ease.

At this reassurance, he immediately remembered that he still had a lot of official business to do.

So he drank all the wine in his hand, and then he put down the wine cup and bowed slightly to Cao Cao, "Lord, since everything is a misunderstanding, then my subordinates will go back first."

There are still many official duties to be undertaken, and I really can't afford to delay. ”

"Hmm" Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xun Yu's diligence and ability, and after nodding, he said with concern: "Wen Ruomo has to be tired of himself, if he is tired, he can take a proper rest." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face changed, "Besides, a certain family has raised so many Wenchen, you can't let them eat dry rice!"

If you have anything to tell them, whoever dares to disobey the order will not be spared by a certain family! ”

When talking about other ministers, Cao Cao hated it so much.

Those generals are just fine, because Cao Cao thinks that with their little brains, they can't think of this defeat at all

Hurt the way.

So they couldn't come out, and Cao Cao didn't blame them.

But Cao Cao dared to conclude that more than twenty percent of the Wenchen had definitely thought of this strategy!

But except for Xun Yu, no one was willing to stand up and share this infamy with Cao Cao.

This made Cao Cao quite feel like he had raised a group of white-eyed wolves.

Cao Cao now only feels that his entire command, except for Li Zhi, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia, no one else can be entrusted with big things!

Speaking of which, Guo Jia is also stained with Li Zhi's light, he has been following Li Zhi since he came to Cao Cao's mansion.

Because he knew Li Zhidi's plan in advance, when he was in the hall just now, Guo Jia didn't stand up, and Cao Cao didn't blame him.

Because, since Guo Jiadu already knows that this is a scene, it would be a bit hypocritical for him to stand up and show his loyalty.

In fact, Cao Cao was quite satisfied with Guo Jia's silence.

If Guo Jia had stood up to show his loyalty just now, then he would have looked down on Guo Jia a little.

But he didn't know that if Guo Jia, like everyone else, didn't know that all this was a scene planned by Li Zhi, then he wouldn't stand up!

Li Zhi's biggest influence on Guo Jia is that he taught Guo Jia what selfishness is and what it means to plan and then act.

So if Guo Jia didn't know that this was a scene, then for the sake of his reputation, he would definitely be a turtle with a shrunken head and quietly watch things develop.

Of course, there is no if, so Guo Jia's status in Cao Cao's heart at this time is still quite high.

Not to mention Guo Jia, but to talk about Xun Yu, after hearing Cao Cao's words, he nodded with emotion, and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, my subordinates have retired first." ”

After finishing speaking, he planned to walk outside, but before he could take a few steps, he heard Li Zhi's voice behind him, "Brother Wen Ruo, you must also know what kind of expression you need to show after you go out, right?" ”

"Huh?" Xun Yu turned around in confusion, and asked Li Zhi in confusion: "What does the virtuous brother of Xingzhi mean by this?" What other expressions do you have to do for your brother? Wouldn't it be okay to just go out like that? ”

"Sure enough!" After Li Zhi heard Xun Yu's words, he slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I asked one more question, otherwise Brother Wen Ruo would have ruined the big thing I was waiting for!" ”

"Eh......" After Xun Yu heard Li Zhidi's words, he was even more puzzled, and said: "What does the virtuous brother of Xingzhi mean by this?

Brother Xingzhi don't play dumb riddles anymore, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. ”

"Alas......" After Li Zhi heard Xun Yu's words, he sighed helplessly and asked, "Brother Wen Ruo, have you forgotten what you are here for?" ”

"How can this be forgotten?" When Xun Yu heard this, he immediately replied: "Isn't it just to persuade the lord to change his mind for ......my brother?"

After saying this, Xun Yu suddenly reacted, "Oops! It's true that my brother almost broke the big thing!

The purpose of coming here for my brother is to persuade the lord, but the lord is not really mediocre, but has set a trap, so the lord's words must not be changed.

If Brother Wei went out as usual, then others would definitely think that Brother Wei had dissuaded the lord.

If the lord does not change the order in the future, then the ordinary appearance of the brother will become a flaw!

Once they find out about being a brother, they may not take the bait.

In this way, the plan of the virtuous brother will fall short! ”
