Hearing Xiahou Dun's voice, Li Mu felt a headache coming on.
The first commandment of the three commandments of a counselor is to plan without making friends.
Counselors were highly intelligent and resourceful existences who were good at figuring out human nature.
As a lord, he was most afraid of these kinds of people, who would form alliances with people of all kinds of power.
Excellent strategists would choose to live in seclusion and not make friends easily. They would either focus on cultivation, accumulate wealth, or enjoy themselves like Li Mu.
This way, he could show that his pursuit was not politics, that he had no ambition, and that he had no ability. He could increase his lord's sense of security by eliminating his own strength.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many heroes. Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside but jealous on the inside. Cao Cao was treacherous and suspicious. Liu Bei's joy and anger were not shown on his face. Sun Quan was a vegetable and liked to play.
No hero was a good person!
Cao Cao was a treacherous and suspicious man. Li Mu knew this very well when he chose to respond to Cao Cao's recruitment order.
Therefore, Li Mu joined Cao Cao when he entered East County. He had come with the idea that it was better to send charcoal in the snow than to add flowers to the brocade.
As a senior strategist, and with Cai Yong and Cao Cao's age pact, Cao Cao would be more magnanimous towards Li Mu, his son-in-law.
Li Mu was confident that he could live longer than a full pet if he seriously carried out the three commandments of a counselor!
It was even possible for Sima Yi to be tortured to death!
However, after Xiahou Dun stationed his troops in Puyang, he would come to look for Li Mu every now and then.
There were so many reasons!
For example," I was passing by and wanted to spend the night here "," It's too hot, I came to take shelter from the heat "," There's not even a single person who can play the zither in Puyang City "," I bought two catties of wine, but no one can drink with me "," Aiya, I heard you know martial arts too. How about we compete?”" I have a wife but no concubines. Life is too boring. I have a clan niece."
They were probably just looking for trouble for nothing. Li Mu couldn't let Xiahou Dun be rejected!
If Li Mu didn't see him, Xiahou Dun would drink a jar of wine and go crazy in the Clear Spring Villa. He would smash and chop things up. The next day, he would come to apologize and say that he would personally repair the Clear Spring Villa for Li Mu.
It was like a dog-skin plaster!
"General Xia Hou, why didn't you patrol the city? Why did you come to my small building today?”Li Mu gave a fake smile. The intention to thank the guests was almost written on his face.
Xiahou Dun was a little embarrassed.
After all, Xiahou Dun had been visiting the Clear Spring Villa every few days.
But today, Xiahou Dun had no intention of chatting. His tone was a little anxious.
"Xianmou, something happened."
"Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou and instigated the rebellion of most of the county officials.”
"Sima Xun sent an order at night, asking me to immediately send troops to Juancheng to protect the lord and the families of the generals.”
Li Mu's eyes turned cold, but he quickly returned to normal."So be it. I'm not General Xia Hou's superior.”
Xiahou Dun was a little annoyed when he saw Li Mu's nonchalant attitude.""Xianmou, aren't you surprised or worried at all?”
"Surprised? Worried?" " It's within expectations," Li Mu said calmly." General Xia Hou, just follow Sima Xun's plan."”
Xiahou Dun's tiger eyes instantly widened." As expected. You knew that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong would rebel?" Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You didn't ask." Li Mu earnestly carried out the second commandment of the three commandments of a counselor, never asking or planning.
Xiahou Dun almost choked on his breath.
I didn't ask.
This reason is so reasonable that I can't object to it!
Xiahou Dun took a deep breath.""Xianmou, you're the Pu Yang City Magistrate. Aren't you worried about being captured and killed by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong?”
"How many soldiers and civilians of Pu Yang know that I am the Pu Yang magistrate? I haven't appeared in the county government for a year, right? If you didn't come to the Clear Spring Villa often, I reckon that not many people would know that I'm still in Pu Yang City!”Li Mu looked at Xiahou Dun with dissatisfaction.
Yanzhou rebellion, Li Mu has long been expected.
However, although Li Mu could predict it, he could not say it out loud.
If there was no evidence, it would be slander!
Moreover, Li Mu did not believe that Cao Cao was unaware of Zhang Miao's and Yanzhou's attitudes.
Li Mu had originally planned to stay in Juancheng. With Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, as well as Cao Cao and the families of the generals, it was enough to defend the city.
However, Cao Cao insisted on making Li Mu the magistrate of Puyang.
Although Li Mu had dozens of plans to deal with the crisis in Yanzhou, Li Mu only had a few hundred stones of salary. Why would he risk his life?
After comprehensive consideration, Li Mu chose to play down his existence.
A year was enough for the Puyang army and people to forget the existence of Li Mu, the Puyang Order.
However, when Cao Cao went to attack Tao Qian, he left Xiahou Dun in Puyang.
It was unknown what orders Cao Cao had given Xiahou Dun to disturb Li Mu's leisurely life every few days.
Xiahou Dun was speechless.
Is this the real reason why you don't care about Puyang's government affairs?
Xiahou Dun rolled his eyes and thought,""Xianmou, you just said that I didn't ask, so you didn't tell me that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong would rebel.”
"Now, let me ask you, can you defend Juan City?”
"We can hold it," Li Mu said without hesitation.”
"Where's Pu Yang?"
"We can't hold it."
"Why?"
"You're too stupid. You might be captured alive by Lu Bu.”
Xiahou Dun's eyes widened again. I am Xiahou Dun, the most courageous general under the Lord. How can a mere Lu Bu capture me alive?”
