Xiahou Dun consoled.
"Benefactor, even gold will shine. With your strategy, if you can capture Liu Bei and Zhuge alive in Xinye, you will definitely make a great contribution!”
"At that time, the Prime Minister will definitely give you a promotion and reward you with a marquis title.”
Xiahou Dun stared at Lu Yu. Last time, he had used this trick to get Lu Yu to join Cao's camp. However, this time, Lu Yu did not look happy. He even shook his head slightly.
"Benefactor, what is the meaning of this?"
Xiahou Dun looked flustered.
Did his benefactor not believe him?
After Lu Yu swallowed a piece of venison, he took a deep breath and finally snapped out of his stupor. As for Xiahou Dun's words about rewarding land and conferring marquises and glorifying his family, he did not take it to heart at all. He had transmigrated to this world alone and was not married yet. How could he be considered a family?
It was just that one person was full and the whole family was not hungry!
Lu Yu merely disagreed with Xiahou Dun's words.
Lu Yu looked at the confused Xiahou Dun and said," I'm afraid Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are no longer in Xinye!”
Xiahou Dun was stunned. He stared at Lu Yu and asked," You know that too?”
Lu Yu picked up another piece of venison and chewed it while saying," Because Zhuge Liang is a smart man. This time, the Cao army's 100,000 soldiers did not suffer any casualties. Naturally, they will attack Xinye again. If he still stays in Xinye, he will be waiting for death. I'm afraid they have already escaped!”
Xiahou Dun slapped his head.
Why didn't I think of that?
This was such a simple logic!
Zhuge Liang was not a fool!
Why would he still stay in Xinye at a time like this?
"I'll go tell the Prime Minister about this right now!”Xiahou Dun quickly stood up. Since Liu Bei was no longer in Xinye, he should not attack Xinye. He should just chase after Liu Bei. Then, he would naturally be able to capture Liu Bei and Zhuge alive." We must not let the Prime Minister attack Xinye again. It will be a futile effort!"”
Lu Yu waved his hand and said firmly.
"No matter what, the Prime Minister will enter Xinye!”
Xiahou Dun stopped.
Just now, he had a sudden realization, but now, his face was filled with confusion.
What was this?
"Knowing that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are not in Xinye, the Prime Minister still wants to attack?”
Lu Yu nodded and swallowed the deer meat in his mouth. He continued," The Prime Minister is not only going to send troops, but he is also going to send troops on a large scale.”
Xiahou Dun was even more confused.
They still wanted to invade on a large scale?
What kind of logic was this?
"Please enlighten me, benefactor!"
Xiahou Dun was eager to know and cupped his hands.
Lu Yu did not keep her in suspense. He pointed to the south." Because the Prime Minister is aiming for Jingxiang! And Xinye was a place that one must pass through in Jing Xiang!”
"If you want to enter Jing Xiang, Xinye must be obtained!”
"It won't be long before a great war breaks out in the south!”
Xiahou Dun stood there in a daze, his head filled with question marks.
"The Prime Minister wants to take over Jing Xiang?"
"How is this possible?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head slightly. If the Prime Minister wanted to take over Jingxiang, how could he not know?
If that was the case, the Prime Minister would have said so long ago.
He was an important official by the Prime Minister's side.
I didn't expect my benefactor to miscalculate!
Looking at Xiahou Dun's expression, Lu Yu knew that he did not believe him. He immediately made a gesture to keep quiet." Listen!”
Xiahou Dun listened carefully, and the sound of ice being chiseled rang in his ears." What's so strange about that? The Prime Minister ordered people to dig ice at Xuanwu Lake and was training the navy.”
"Why did you train the navy?" Lu Yu asked.
Xiahou Dun shook his head." I don't know! The Prime Minister's intentions have always been hard to fathom."
Lu Yu said confidently.
"Because Jing Xiang has a lot of water, we need the navy to fight!”
"The Prime Minister is training the navy to prepare for the Battle of Jing Xiang!”
"When the navy is almost done training, it will be time to enter Jing Xiang!”
Boom!
He understood!
Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up.
He understood now!
No wonder the Prime Minister wanted to train the navy these days, it turned out that he wanted to take over Jingxiang.
He also knew that the land of Jing and Xiang was flooded, and it was difficult for the army to play a role there. The soldiers he brought were all from the northern army. If they fought in the land of Jing and Xiang in the future, these armies would inevitably suffer.
He understood why the Prime Minister wanted him to reorganize his soldiers. He wanted him to be prepared for the start of the war.
He also knew what he should do next.
Train the soldiers and familiarize them with water combat!
However…
He still had a question that he did not understand.
Since the Prime Minister wanted to take over Jingxiang, why didn't he tell them?
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to look at Lu Yu again.
"But, benefactor, since the Prime Minister wants to take over Jing Xiang, why didn't you tell everyone about this?”
Lu Yu smiled.
In Jing and Xiang, there was Liu Biao, a relative of the Han clan, Liu Bei, Uncle Liu, Liu Zhang, an important official of the Han clan, and the Sun family of Jiangdong, also an important official of the Han clan.
Cao Cao was now Prime Minister Cao, and he had the trump card of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. However, he was still using the banner of the Han Dynasty. If he wanted to fight against these relatives and important officials of the Han Dynasty, he needed a good reason.
If he attacked them for no reason, wouldn't he be the second Dong Zhuo?
At that time, he would not be Prime Minister Cao, but a thief!
The reason why Cao Cao didn't tell them was because he hadn't found a suitable reason yet.
A valid reason!
