Although Cao Cao's sneak attack on Jizhou was for him to conquer the city, it had indirectly solved Lu Fengnian's urgent problem!
The 'reinforcements' that Chen Gong was referring to was Cao Cao!
"Gongtai is indeed as my elder brother said, a great sage with unparalleled talent!”
"Cao Cao is attacking Jizhou now. No matter how reluctant Yuan Benchu is to let go of Youzhou, a bone that he has gnawed on for seven to eight years, he must return to support!”
"As his base, we can't lose Jizhou!”
Lu Fengnian laughed happily.
But very soon, Lu Fengnian was puzzled.
"However, it is understandable that Gongtai could predict that Cao Cao would take advantage of the situation to sneak attack Yuan Shao's rear.”
"But Cao Cao has so many strategists under him, how can we let him attack Jizhou now?”
"If I were Cao Cao, ambushing Jizhou now would be equivalent to saving my mortal enemy, and I would soon face Yuan Shao's wrath.”
"This doesn't make sense!”
"If we wait until Yuan Shao and I fight to the death and suffer a great loss, Cao Cao will act at that time. It will definitely reduce the cost greatly and obtain more benefits!”
Chen Gong nodded in praise of Lu Fengnian's understanding.
"My lord has really surprised Chen Gong!”
"I'm afraid that no one in the same generation can compare to this understanding!”
"Everyone says that Sun Ce, the little tyrant of River East, is a young hero. He led thousands of troops and unified River East in a few years. His future is boundless!”
"But he only managed to achieve success in one fell swoop because he had Zhou Yu's assistance!”
"In terms of martial strength, perhaps Sun Bofu can still contend with my lord. In terms of strategy, if not for Chen Gong's flattery, my lord is more than ten times better than the little tyrant!”
Lu Fengnian was embarrassed by the compliments. He waved his hands and said,"Gongtai praises me too much!"
"Quickly tell me, how did you predict Cao Cao's sneak attack on Jizhou!”
Chen Gong finally stopped keeping them in suspense and laughed loudly."This is actually because my lord is a peerless genius!”
"Chen Gongyue sent a secret letter to Cao Mengde.”
"Cao Mengde was asked to weigh the pros and cons on his own!”
"If he waited until Yuan Shao completely took over Youzhou before attacking the north, even if Yuan Shao's vitality was greatly damaged, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse!”
"Cao Mengde only has less than 100,000 soldiers. Once Yuan Shao unifies Hebei and gathers the four prefectures, he will easily have an army of at least 600,000!”
"At that time, even if Cao Cao attacks Jizhou, even if he takes down half of Jizhou, once Yuan Shao recovers, Cao Cao can only wait to die!”
"On the other hand, if Cao Cao sends troops now and implicate Yuan Shao in Jizhou, even if Yuan Shao is in a good state, he will not pursue Cao Cao!”
"And this is precisely because the lord is still around. Yuan Shao's fear of the lord will only be greater than Cao Mengde's!”
"This way, the Lü Cao alliance will be formed. Yuan Shao is indecisive, and both sides will definitely not dare to attack with full force!”
"Cao Mengde's strategists are not mediocre. They must know that it is much better to let the lord and Yuan Shao continue to fight in the north and buy time for them to grow stronger than to let Yuan Shao unify Hebei!”
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Fengnian felt that he was extremely brilliant!
As expected of a top-notch strategist that even Cao Cao couldn't bear to kill. He was truly terrifying!
"Gongtai is indeed my right-hand man!”
"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!”
"As expected, there are no eternal enemies, nor are there eternal friends. There are only eternal interests!”
Naturally, Chen Gong had never heard of this before, but he still praised,""My lord's conclusion is brilliant!"
"In the world's disputes, one wants to compete with the heroes. The changes in relationships follow this principle!”
"If that's the case," Lu Fengnian asked,"Yuan Shao's army has returned to help. Wouldn't Cao Mengde have to bear the wrath of his thunder alone?"”
"My lord still doesn't understand Cao Cao!" Chen Gong laughed.”
"This person is extremely cunning. It's not an exaggeration to call him a traitor in this chaotic world!”
"By the time Yuan Shao returns, Cao Cao would have already returned to Xuchang and would be hiding. Yuan Shao would not be able to do anything to him!”
"My lord, you don't have to feel that you owe him. Everyone is just doing this for their own benefit!”
Lu Fengnian waved his hand and said," Gongtai, you're worrying too much. I'm only afraid that Cao Cao won't be able to hold on for more than a few days under the pressure of Yuan Shao's army. It won't be enough for me to control Youzhou!”
"I have a grudge against that Cao thief for killing my brother. Why would I worry about his life?”
Chen Gong nodded in satisfaction.
The sage said: benevolence and righteousness are the foundation.
However, as a master with great ambitions and scheming for the world, being soft-hearted would only be digging his own grave!
Kindness does not lead to war!
If he didn't kill decisively, how could he succeed?
Rule the people with benevolence, and rule the army with strictness!
Therefore, Lu Fengnian was going to quickly recover Youzhou and take complete control of it, becoming an independent force in an upright manner!
In the later stages of Gongsun Zan's career, he used up all his military power and wantonly exploited the people, causing them to be in dire straits.
This was also one of the reasons why Gongsun Zan failed!
Lu Fengnian wanted to clean up the mess left behind by Gongsun Zan, implement a benevolent policy, and reunite the people!
Those who won the hearts of the people won the world!
