Cao Cao looked at Lu Yu in surprise and asked in confusion," Why?”
Lu Yu's nose was crooked and his mouth was slanted. He said with an ugly expression," I'm afraid of war, but I'm more afraid of death…"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the disappointment on Cao Cao's face was clear. Even Jia Xu, who was beside him, was a little suspicious. Was this really the expert behind Xiahou Dun?
Was he too low-key?
Or did he not want to expose himself?
Cao Cao was also suspicious. Was this an expert?
Was he a coward?
Cao Cao shouted sternly," Are you really not going?”
Lu Yu's lips twitched again as he said," I won't hide it from you, Prime Minister. I'm still sick. I faint whenever I see a dead person…"
Cao Cao had indeed heard of this disease. He glared at Lu Yu and snorted coldly. He flung his sleeves and left angrily. What a coward!
On the way out, he was still scolding Jia Xu.
"Wen He, is this the expert you found?”
"There's such a master in this world?”
"What kind of expert is he who doesn't even dare to look at a dead person?”
Jia Xu was also scratching his head, full of depression.
If this was not the expert behind Xiahou Dun, why would Xiahou Dun have risked his life to save him in Xiangyang?
Then who was this person?
……
Was Old Cao angry?
Looking at Old Cao's back as he left in a huff, Lu Yu spread his hands to express his helplessness.
He really did not want to fight this war!
Because this was a battle that was bound to lose!
If Lu Yu remembered correctly, during the battle at the mouth of the three rivers, Cao Cao lost his troops. He flew into a rage and almost killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
As he watched Cao Cao's figure gradually leave, Xiahou Dun looked at Lu Yu's crooked face in confusion. He asked with some heartache," Benefactor, what's wrong with you?”
What's wrong?
Pretending!
However, Lu Yu could not tell Xiahou Dun that. He made up an excuse and said," Maybe he caught a cold…"
Xiahou Dun sighed slightly and said," Benefactor, you're clearly not sick. Why are you lying? Don't you want to fight at the mouth of the three rivers? With the benefactor's talent, if he won this battle, he would definitely be appreciated by the Prime Minister. At that time, he would be promoted to an official position. However, why didn't the benefactor go?”
Lu Yu only smiled and shook his head. If he really wanted to gain Cao Cao's appreciation, would he have waited until now?
Moreover, the victory at the Three River Mouth was not a big contribution.
Moreover, this was a battle that they could not win!
That's right!
He just couldn't win!
Even if Lu Yu was proficient in military tactics and knew the history of the Three Kingdoms, he would not be able to win.
This was because the difference between the two sides was too great!
For example, if an adult were to fight an adult, they might be able to win by surprise with some tricks. However, how could a three-year-old fight an adult?
It was useless to scheme at a time like this!
What was the situation now?
Cao Cao's soldiers from the north came to the south to fight, but the soldiers from the north were not familiar with water warfare.
Zhou Yu had brought the River East navy here, and the location of the battle was on the water. This was a complete and utter attack!
Moreover, it was a surprise attack. Even if they trained the navy, it would be too late.
How can we not win?
When the soldiers from the north got on the ship, the ship would shake and they would not even be able to stand steadily. How could they fight?
Therefore, if he went to the mouth of the three rivers to fight Zhou Yu, he would definitely lose!
This was also the reason why Lu Yu did not go to war.
And the main reason was:
If they were defeated, Xiahou Dun would have the Xiahou clan to back him up. Old Cao would not be able to chop off his head, but what would Lu Yu have?
He was not a descendant of an aristocratic family, and he was also unknown. When Cao Cao blamed him, Xiahou Dun would at most be beaten a few times. He would have to take the blame. At that time, no one would plead for him. Lu Yu would be in trouble!
Therefore, Lu Yu would never go to this battle.
If he went, he would be courting death!
Moreover, there was another important reason. Now that Sun Liu had joined forces, they were going to fight against Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.
Even though Lu Yu hated Zhuge Liang, he had to admit that Zhuge Liang was one of the top strategists.
Zhou Yu could also be ranked.
It was even more difficult to win against two people who could rank at the same time!
As the saying goes, three stooges are equivalent to one Zhuge Liang. What if there are three Zhuge Liang?
It was definitely a plan!
With these two people around, it would be even more difficult to win.
Moreover, the Cao army did not have the advantage.
This was simply a dead end that could not be resolved!
Xiahou Dun sighed slightly. With his hands behind his back, he said regretfully," Since benefactor doesn't want credit, I'll take it!”
"But, benefactor, when will you let the prime minister see your talent!？”
Xiahou Dun was worried for Lu Yu.
He did not understand why Lu Yu had to keep a low profile in front of the Prime Minister.
With the plans he had made during this period of time, it should not be a problem for him to be a strategist in front of the Prime Minister, right?
Lu Yu was not worried about this at all.
The current situation was quite good.
It couldn't be helped. Salted fish were all like this.
Lu Yu was a little worried about Xiahou Dun.
Looking at Xiahou Dun's sturdy back, he could not help but shake his head.
This military counselor Chancellor would probably have to suffer a few strokes of the cane...
Hopefully, he could hold on!
