In the middle of the camp.
Jia Xu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and the others stood in front of Cao Cao.
All of them looked anxious.
Seeing Cao Cao's calm expression, they couldn't help but ask.
"Prime Minister, you can't do that. Yuan Rang is a general, how can he take on the role of a military advisor?”
"That's right. Prime Minister, please think twice. With Yuan Rang's plan, I'm already certain that there must be an expert behind him! How could the Prime Minister be blinded by Yuan Rang?”
"This old man is not looking down on Yuan Rang. With Yuan Rang's schemes, this old man can play with three of them!”
……
Cao Cao only smiled and waved his hand in an unfathomable manner.
These strategists were shrewd people, so was Cao Cao.
How could he not know about Xiahou Dun's situation?
That's right!
Xiahou Dun was indeed not as silly as he used to be recently. Even his words had become more literal, and he even said some words that people could not understand.
But no matter what, he was definitely not someone who could come up with such a scheme.
Xiahou Dun couldn't have thought of these schemes.
Cao Cao knew exactly why.
There were only two possibilities.
Or perhaps it was just as Xiahou Dun had said. During this period of time, he had indeed had a few dreams that gave him an epiphany and inexplicably made a great contribution.
Or there was an expert behind him.
However, Cao Cao would never believe that he could dream about how to make great contributions.
Once or twice is fine, but how many times have you done this?
Burning newspapers on a grave? Who are you trying to fool?
Even if you're bluffing, there's a limit, right?
The only possibility was that there was an expert behind him!
Moreover, this expert was extremely scheming, not inferior to Guo Fengxiao in the slightest.
How difficult would it be to force such an expert to show himself?
Since he couldn't force him…he would force Xiahou Dun!
Xiahou Dun's scheming skills were far inferior to Old Cao's.
Aren't you good at planning?
Aren't you full of tricks?
That was good!
I'll give you a military advisor and you'll be the chancellor.
Regardless of whether he could do it or not, he had to lift Xiahou Dun up first. If Xiahou Dun did not react, then he would have to light a fire below.
In other words, he was roasting Xiahou Dun over the fire!
Why didn't the expert behind him show himself at this time?
Cao Cao really wanted to meet that expert.
In fact, Cao Cao even suspected that the expert might be among the few people in front of him.
However, Cao Cao had no evidence.
This person hid it too well!
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He stared at the few of them and said," You guys also think that there's an expert behind Xiahou Dun, right?”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, they nodded their heads vigorously.
That's right!
Since you also know, why did you still let him be the military counselor?
The few of them were even more puzzled.
The smile on Cao Cao's face didn't fade as he said," Since he has a master behind him and we can't make him sacrifice himself, we'll force him to say it himself."”
Everyone was still puzzled.
Cao Cao hurriedly explained," Next, if Yuan Rang's plan is wrong, I hope that everyone can give him a hand. Moreover, you must do it to the death and force him to a dead end. Do you know what I mean?”
The few of them looked at each other.
He understood!
They understood Cao Cao's intentions.
It was to let Xiahou Dun be the military counselor and then wait for him to make a mistake. Once he made a mistake, he would seize the evidence to punish him. At this time, he would have no choice but to reveal the expert behind him or give himself away.
"The Prime Minister is truly impressive!"
The few of them praised.
Compared to Cao Cao, they were still inexperienced!
Only Cao Cao could think of such a sinister method.
However, they also had the intention of making Xiahou Dun look bad. That day, they had been caught red-handed by Xiahou Dun when they were tailing him. It was embarrassing. Since they could not play it openly, they would play it dirty with Xiahou Dun.
Kill him!
……
At this moment, Xiahou Dun was the most uncomfortable.
What a sin!
He became the military counselor and chancellor without knowing?
On the same level as Guo Fengxiao, whom he used to admire the most?
Although it was a substitute position.
However, he was now in control of the entire Advisor Group!
After Xiahou Dun repeatedly declined, Cao Cao gave him a substitute military advisor position. In other words, he wanted him to try.
But how could he be a military advisor and chancellor!
"No, I have to ask my benefactor!”
Speaking of which, Xiahou Dun had not seen Lu Yu for a long time.
Ever since he found out that so many people were following him, he had not gone.
Xiahou Dun was not a fool. How could he not know the purpose of these people following him?
For money?
What a joke!
These people were richer than him.
In that case, there was only one explanation, and that was for Lu Yu, who was behind him.
"Ha…"
At this moment, Xiahou Dun snorted coldly.
In the end, these people still looked down on him. They didn't even believe that he had dreamed of a scheme, right?
How stupid did they think they were?
Who are you looking down on!
Anyway, he would not let Lu Yu show himself without Lu Yu's consent.
After circling around a large mountain several times and making sure that no one was following him, Xiahou Dun slipped into Lu Yu's tent.
Actually, Xiahou Dun and Lu Yu's tents were not far apart.
However, Xiahou Dun was afraid that they would discover Lu Yu.
When he saw Lu Yu, Xiahou Dun immediately knelt on the ground." Savior, please save me!"”
At this moment, Lu Yu was lying on a straw mat. He was thinking about how to get Zhao Yun to come over without affecting Zhao Yun's reputation.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not come up with a reason.
However, he was not in a hurry. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
When he saw Xiahou Dun suddenly enter and kneel on the ground, Lu Yu was slightly stunned. He hurriedly helped Xiahou Dun up.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
"Benefactor, Prime Minister Cao has conferred me the title of Military Advisor, what should I do?”Xiahou Dun did not beat around the bush and said it directly.
Puchi ~
Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he sized up Xiahou Dun. This was the first time he had seen a burly and stocky military counselor with one eye open and the other closed.
It was really funny.
However, Lu Yu also knew that this was not making Xiahou Dun the Military Advisor's Chancellor. This was forcing him to show himself!
What time was it now?
The Battle of Red Cliff would be held in a few days. The Cao army had suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff, and whoever became the military advisor and chancellor would be an unlucky person.
Furthermore, Lu Yu was certain that Cao Cao would not win the Southern Expedition. No one could change this outcome.
Showing his face in public at this time was simply looking for trouble.
Looking at Xiahou Dun, Lu Yu sympathized with him.
Then, he patted Xiahou Dun's shoulder.
"Yuan Rang, during this period of time, you can eat whatever you want!”
