The Three Kingdoms

Ling Lei frowned and said softly to Li Dian who was sitting opposite him: "I can't decide whether to agree or not, but can I ask you a question, General first?"

"Tell me about Feng Yu, I will definitely answer everything, of course, the premise is that your question is within the scope of my answer, I believe you should know Feng Yu," Li Dian said with a smile.

"Hehe, of course I know, I want to ask, can you tell me that your lord has successfully invited those lords to join the alliance?"Ling Lei said to Li Dian with a strange look on his face.

Li Dian's expression froze, then he shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Feng Yu's question doesn't seem to be something I can answer, at least you can only say it after you have successfully joined the alliance. You should be very clear about this." , so I hope, Feng Yu, you don't want to ask me these questions with such a tentative heart, do you think I'm right?"

Ling Lei scolded Li Dian secretly in his heart, he was indeed smart enough, it was so hard to escape with such a tight mouth, he smiled awkwardly, then nodded and said: "Hehe, I made a mistake, I didn't think about it before. Come here, I just think about it now, General Li Dian, you are right, this is really not what I should ask, at least not what I should ask now, if this is the case, I can’t give any opinions now, as for the final decision Let me discuss with my lord before answering you, how about this, give us half an hour, and we will definitely give you an answer to the general before we start the dinner."

"Hehe, is that so? It's okay, then I hope the three of you will think about it carefully. This opportunity is a rare opportunity for Mr. Han. If you miss it, I think the consequences will be sensible. I should know it, I won’t talk nonsense when I’m done, I’ll leave first, and wait for the good news from everyone.” After speaking, he returned to his room with Hu Yu’s farewell.

Hu Yu directly sent Li Dian back to the tent specially arranged for him. It took about a stick of incense to go there and back. During this stick of incense, Ling Lei and Han Fu didn't speak, but kept silent. They chose to wait for Hu Yu's return, and then the three of them went to discuss the issue of whether to agree or not. Compared with this decision, it is related to at least the future development of Jizhou. How could the three of them not be cautious?

After waiting for a long time for Hu Yu to return, seeing this silent scene, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he sat back on his seat again without speaking, as if he was maintaining the same silence as Ling Lei and Han Fu.

Han Fu, who couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time, spoke first, stood up and said to Han Fu and Ling Lei: "You two are talking, whether we promise you or not, but I will say something now, this time The opportunity is just as important to us as Li Dian said. If we cannot enter this alliance, then our future results will definitely be the same as those of other princes. This is related to the fate of me and you. Defeat, but it is all up to you to choose."

Ling Lei glanced lightly at the anxious Han Fu, then changed his serious adopted son to Han Fu and said with a smile: "My lord, what do you mean now? Tell us, what do you think?" You have to tell us for our reference, otherwise Brother Hu Yu and I would have no idea what you think, Brother Han Fu, so how can we give the answer that you want most, my lord?"

"That's true, then I'll just tell you. My decision is to directly agree to Cao Cao's agreement. No matter how strong the internal alliance is, at least we can avoid the possibility of being fought by these people, right? In this way, we When the alliance defeats the other vassals, even if we turn our backs on each other, we can gain a lot of strength by taking the last thing, right? If this is the case, why don't we agree? Do you two think what I said is right? "

In the face of Han Fu's rare long-winded speech, which was still of a certain level, Han Fu and Hu Yu both smiled and expressed their agreement. The two agreed now, but there is a big gap from the previous hesitant attitude, so this The quick change of attitude surprised Han Fu.

How did your attitudes change so quickly? When you were discussing things with Li Dian just now, you didn't look like you were ready to agree directly, but why are you saying this again now?

It is normal for the answers to be different before and after, Ling Lei smiled and said: "At least before we and Cao Cao have a formal ending ally, he is not our friend, but an outsider who is not sure whether he can be trusted. How can Brother Hu Yu and I speak the truth? And most importantly, although I don’t know what Brother Hu Yu thinks, according to my thinking, when discussing things with the other party, Especially when negotiating terms and deals with you, no matter how tempting the other party's offer is to you, you can't immediately agree to it. This is the last word. Brother Hu Yu, do you think so? "

"Of course you are right, but I admire you very much, Feng Yu. I have understood this truth for more than ten years before I can understand it, but you are only old now, and you already understand this truth. What I have to say is that I I am indeed old, compared to you, Feng Yu, I am really old."

"Don't say that, you're only old now, if you're old, what would you think if you were still assisting your lord's counselors in those sixtieth years, so don't say that, And in fact, I'm not a smart person at all, I didn't come up with this truth at all, but it was told to me by my teacher when he was still alive, in order to hope that I could inherit his support and get ahead."

"So that's the case. In fact, it's not the first time I've heard about your master Feng Yu. When I went to Zhending a few times ago, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun and other generals also told me something about your master. Personally, I really want to meet such a person, but I don't have this opportunity, if possible, I really hope to exchange my ten years of life for ten years of your master's life, but this is impossible."

Ling Lei held back the smile in his heart, nodded slightly sadly on the surface, and said: "Who says no, I believe that Brother Hu Yu is not the first person to say this to me, and you will definitely not be the last one .”

"Okay, if the two of you want to chat, can you change the time? You have told me the truth, but you haven't said the reason yet. I, the protagonist, can't just follow your advice without knowing everything. Now, can you tell me the reason for this? Why do we have to agree in the end, but not immediately?"

"The reason is very simple, because Li Dian immediately agreed to Li Dian's conditions. After he returns to report to Cao Cao, you will definitely become cannon fodder for him, the leader of the alliance."

"Why? The more you talk, the more I don't understand. Immediately agreeing to him shouldn't be the situation he wants to see? I cooperate with him so much. Why did he push me out as cannon fodder in the end? Han Fu's face There are [-] why symbols on it," said Ling Lei.

"That's right, my lord agreed so straightforwardly, which is naturally what Cao Cao is willing to agree to, but this is why he wants you to be cannon fodder, my lord. Do you think about me, my lord? If you agree so simply, it will make Cao Cao I feel that we are cowardly and have no opinions at all. People who obey him like this can definitely be moved by the command. If this is the case, the position of cannon fodder must belong to you, the lord. They gave the results they hoped to see after careful discussion. In that case, my lord, you are at least an independent person in Cao Cao's heart, not the kind of person who has no strength. The candidate is the assistant he needs most in defeating the two forces, so the position of cannon fodder must not belong to us, right?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it? You see, we are not going to answer him directly now, but to discuss it. If that word reaches Cao Cao's ears, I must be at least one person who can help him. Then he is the last The person who chooses to sacrifice first will definitely not be me. Compared with the fact that things have not started yet, if he wants to succeed, he will definitely not choose to let me be cannon fodder. That's right, that's the reason. That's right, Feng Yu Hu Yu, you two have made a great contribution to me, how do you want me to reward you?"

Seeing that there was a reward, Hu Yu was not overjoyed to accept it, but immediately stood up and shook his head and said: "My lord, I have not participated in this matter, and I didn't even say a word that you want to reward me. Don't dare to ask for it, it's not that you don't get paid for nothing, and I, Hu Yu, assist you definitely not for this reward. I believe you understand this very well, so if you really understand Hu Yu's intentions, my lord, But please don’t reward me.”

"If this is the case, that's the only way to go. Anyway, in my eyes, Hu Yu, you are not the kind of person who can only be satisfied with rewards, so it doesn't matter whether you are rewarded or not. Then Feng Yu, just tell me what reward you want. , as long as I can give it now, I, Han Fu, will never say no, Han Fu nodded to Ling Lei solemnly."

Ling Lei shook his head lightly and smiled: "In my eyes, any reward is indifferent, so it doesn't matter whether I want this reward or not. Anyway, isn't it what we should do? As a subordinate, it is my duty to help the lord solve problems. How can you ask for a reward for what you have done?"
