At this moment.
Xun Yu walked over from not far away, looking very anxious.
Seeing that there were too many people around, Xun Yu pulled Lu Yu to the side and asked anxiously,""Boyu! My lord has the intention to massacre the city. I've tried to persuade him, but he doesn't listen! What should we do?"
Xun Yu's face was filled with regret.
Previously, he was the one who persuaded Cao Cao to attack Xu Prefecture.
However, he had never thought that Cao Cao would massacre the city!
If such a thing really happened, not only would it be criticized in the current era!
It was the point that would often be used to attack in the future!
In Xun Yu's opinion, this matter could not be done!
"I understand. I just gave the order that the entire army is not allowed to move.”Lu Yu nodded slightly.
It was within Lu Yu's expectations that Xun Yu did not succeed.
Xun Yu was a famous man.
His reason for persuading him must be that the word 'benevolence' came first!
Cao Cao was in a fit of anger, but no matter what, he just wanted revenge!
Naturally, he would not succeed in persuading her.
"You gave the order?"
Xun Yu's face was filled with shock!
One had to know that these people were ultimately advisors.
Directly giving an order to the army was overstepping their authority!
However, Lu Yu still gave the order!
Not for himself!
It was for the people of Xu Prefecture!
Thinking of this, Xun Yu bowed to Lu Yu and said in admiration,"
"The world only knows that you, Lu Boyu, are a lustful person! Today, I know that you are a man of benevolence and righteousness who is unparalleled in the country!”
"I thank Boyu on behalf of the people of Xu Prefecture!”
Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand." Wen Ruo, you're being too serious.”
Then, Lu Yu and Xun Yu went to see Cao Cao.
Cao Ren stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
"General, should we kill these people or not?”A general came up and asked.
"Let's wait for a while. Since Advisor Jun said so, it must be his reason.”Cao Ren waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to calm down.
The general also retreated.
Cao Ren, who was standing still, looked at the backs of Lu Yu and Xun Yu with curiosity.
Cao Cao must be furious.
How would Lu Yu convince him to give up the idea of massacring the city?
In the central tent.
Xun Yu didn't go in but stood guard at the door.
Lu Yu entered the tent and saw Cao Cao looking at the map. He said to himself,""Boyu came here to persuade me to give up on the idea of massacring the city?”
"Not bad." Lu Yu admitted.
"Wen Ruo's reason for persuading me is that I shouldn't give authority to others. Boyu, what is your reason?”
Cao Cao turned around and smiled.
Cao Cao did not look like his father who had just died, nor did he look like he would be stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of Xu Prefecture citizens.
"If Meng De were to massacre the city, have you ever thought about how the future generations would evaluate you?”Lu Yu said patiently.
"People from the future? I took revenge for my father. Even if I slaughtered a city, the world would only think that I was a sentimental person.”Cao Cao laughed.
Lu Yu had expected this.
In the later generations, there were many people who liked Cao Cao, and there were also some who disliked him.
When evaluating Cao Cao, most people who liked Cao Cao would subconsciously ignore the fact that Cao Cao had massacred Xuzhou.
If someone mentioned this matter, they would either not speak or say that it was normal in this era and that it was true.
In Lu Yu's opinion, no matter which era it was, massacring a city was a stain.
This was also the biggest stain on Cao Cao's life!
"Then let me ask Meng De again. Why do you think Chen Sheng and Wu Guang lost in the end when they clearly gained power?”
Lu Yu's expression was calm as he spoke about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
"Didn't Boyu mention this when he was in Chen Liu? It said that the Qin country still had strength left, so they destroyed them.”Cao Cao said with a smile.
"That's because of external reasons, as well as personal reasons.”Lu Yu said.
Cao Cao's expression turned serious. He knew that Lu Yu was comparing him to himself.
"Please enlighten me, Boyu." Cao Cao said seriously.
Lu Yu nodded slightly and continued,"
"If we want to make a name for ourselves in this chaotic world, the first problem is to recognize who our enemies are and who our friends are.”
"Before Chen Sheng gained full power, he casually killed his friends and lost the hearts of the people. He made his friends and enemies feel pain and joy.”
！！！
Cao Cao was stunned!
These words seemed simple, but they were philosophical!
"To make a name for ourselves in this chaotic world, the first problem is to recognize who our enemies are and who our friends are!”
Cao Cao muttered.
Just like his relationship with Yuan Shao!
Lu Yu had once said that Cao Ying and Yuan Shao had fought a long time ago. According to this, Yuan Shao was a long-term enemy!
But at this time, Cao Ying needed Yuan Shao's help. At this time, Yuan Shao was a friend!
If he couldn't recognize this point clearly.
They only thought that Yuan Shao was an enemy. If they attacked him now and didn't cooperate with him, then Cao Ying's situation would be extremely difficult!
If they only thought that Yuan Shao was a friend and didn't guard against him, then Cao Cao's camp would definitely be destroyed by him in the future!
However, the vast majority of people in the world could not accurately recognize it!
Who was his enemy and who was his friend!
"Boyu, you mean that in Xu Prefecture, my enemies are only Tao Qian and his henchmen, and the civilians in Xu Prefecture can become my friends in the future?”Cao Cao said thoughtfully.
"That's right, Tao Qian naturally wouldn't let him go. If his followers are willing to surrender, they can be taken in as subordinates. As the saying goes, the culprit must be dealt with, and those who are coerced will not be questioned.”Lu Yu continued.
Cao Cao smiled.
"Every time Boyu speaks, I gain a lot. Just like these words, if I were to say them to the vassals of the world, I'm afraid they would also think deeply about it!”
At this point, Cao Cao cupped his hands at Lu Yu.
"Boyu, please return! I know what to do."
Lu Yu did not say much and left the tent.
Not long after, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Shi, and the other generals entered Cao Cao's tent.

I'm looking for recommendation votes for my new book. Thank you, readers.
Yesterday's data didn't change much. In the future, I won't copy poems anymore. The protagonist will be an honest strategist and brag.
