"Oh? The plan will come out?" Lu Bu asked involuntarily.

Chen Gong smiled. From a certain perspective, Lu Bu was actually a good result when he was ambushed by Guo Jia this time. If Chen Gong had made the same suggestion before, Lu Bu would definitely reply disdainfully: "A character like Cao Cao can directly beat him to the point of being defeated, why are you doing so many twists and turns!"

Now, Lu Bu found that Cao Cao was not an opponent that could be defeated so easily, so he naturally agreed to use the strategy. Although such a lord had many problems with him and in many aspects, he was far inferior to Cao Cao. However, such a person was the most suitable person for Chen Gong to assist him!

A good monarch does not need to be very talented. It is enough to choose Guan Yiwu like Duke Huan of Qi, give him important tasks and support him behind his back! And now, Chen Gong is going to be Lu Bu's "Guan Yiwu"!

"In Puyang City, there is a local wealthy family, Tian family, with thousands of children, and a huge family in a county. Do you think that if such a person is willing to be an insider for Cao Cao, can Cao Cao resist the temptation?" Chen Gong said.

It is obvious that Chen Gong meant that Tian was pretending to be Cao Cao's inner supporter, deceive Cao Cao, and lure Cao Cao into the city. In this way, as long as you set up a trap and ambush, Cao Cao would not be able to escape from the sky in this Puyang city! When Xiahou Dun was caught in Lu Bu's plan to surrender, it was probably Chen Gong's work.

However, Lu Bu said disapprovingly.

"Will Cao Cao fall into this kind of vulgar strategy? You must know that Cao Cao is very smart, and Guo Jia is still next to him now."

This kind of words may seem a bit ridiculous when Lu Bu said it. But I have to say that what Lu Bu said is actually quite reasonable. This method that has been almost used by others on the battlefield can definitely be called a vulgar. Such a strategy can also be fooled?

"Vulgar? Maybe." Chen Gong smiled and explained to Lu Bu, "But a good strategy has nothing to do with vulgarity or excitement. There is always only one standard to judge the quality of a strategy, that is: whether it can succeed!"

It is often said that there is no best, only the most suitable one. In many ways, this is actually the case.

It’s like Guo Jia’s previous strategy, anyone who saw it thought it was wonderful. Why did Guo Jia choose such a vulgar strategy this time without sticking to his own style, as exciting as ever? Oh no, that can no longer be described as vulgar. The kind of method that can be seen by anyone who is not a fool, using the word “strategy” is an insult to “strategy”!

Could it be that Guo Jia and Jiang Lang have finished their talents? No! In Chen Gong's opinion, this just proves that Guo Jia has mastered the essence of the strategy! You cannot use tricks for cleverness. If you don't stick to the means, you will always choose the most suitable and most likely to succeed. That is a powerful strategist!

Guo Jia saw through Lu Bu's character and knew that even if Lu Bu knew there was a conspiracy, he would still catch up. Therefore, Guo Jia chose such a vulgar plan that could not be more vulgar. Lu Bu was so direct. If Guo Jia had done some conspiracy like before, he would have been trapped in a few turns. Then could Lu Bu have been able to get around for a while?

The same is true now. Since Guo Jia can take special strategies based on his familiarity with Lu Bu, why can't Chen Gong use some special strategies against Cao Cao? You must know that Chen Gong's familiarity with Cao Cao is probably not inferior to anyone else!

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of Cao Cao, even if he himself understands that such a thing may be a conspiracy, but as long as there is a trace of real possibility, Cao Cao will not refuse. Moreover, with Cao Cao's habit of leading by example, if he enters the city, he will definitely lead his troops into the city himself! Once Cao Cao is lured into the city, we only need to set fire at the four gates and set up ambush outside. At that time, Cao Cao's ability to dominate the world must be unable to escape!"

Chen Gong said confidently.

I have to admire this sentence. Chen Gong really saw through Cao Cao! Maybe some people say that Cao Cao would rather teach me to betray the world than the world," but sometimes, Cao Cao would rather teach me to betray me, than the world, than the world,"

Maybe it was okay to say that Cao Cao was stupid, but this was also Cao Cao's courage. Zhang Xiu surrendered for the first time, and Cao Cao accepted it, but Zhang Xiu rebelled, Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin. Later, Zhang Xiu surrendered again, and Cao Cao accepted it. Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao accepted it, and Jingzhou basically surrendered directly, including Huang Gai's surrender in the most classic battle of Red Cliff. Zhou Yu was actually using Cao Cao's character of "Zhou Gong vomited food and the world returned to his heart"!

The only surrender that Cao Cao did not accept was probably Lu Bu's surrender. But the situation was different that time. First, Lu Bu surrendered as a prisoner, instead of surrendering before the defeat; second, Cao Cao was actually already moved at one time. After Liu Bei said that Cao Cao did not dare to accept Lu Bu's surrender.

Therefore, before Lu Bu died, he did not scold Cao Cao. After all, the winner was the king and the defeat of the enemy. The person Lu Bu scolded was the unrighteous Liu Bei.

In short, this is Cao Cao's advantage in attracting talents, but it can also be regarded as a weakness that Cao Cao can be exploited. It was precisely because Chen Gong calculated this accurately that he believed that Cao Cao would inevitably be "deceived"!

"Besides, even if it cannot succeed, it will not harm us just by giving it a try!" Chen Gong said.

In this way, Lu Bu absolutely had no need to refuse. Anyway, even if he failed and Cao Cao was not deceived, they would not suffer any losses at all. Why not do it!

So, Lu Bu followed the plan

Outside Puyang, Cao's camp, and the central army's tent,

Cao Cao laughed loudly,

"It's God helping me to get Puyang!"

"What's going on? Could it be that something went wrong inside Lu Bu?" the other side quickly asked.

What's more, I asked directly if Lu Bu was dead!

However, from the side point of view, it can be seen how much deterrent Lu Bu was to these generals.

"Lu Bu is a new Yanzhou after all, and his cruelty and incompetent person has caused great resentment to the people for a while. Lu Bu is worried about chaos and has already gone to Liyang. Now only Gao Shun is guarding the city in Puyang, and the city is empty. The Tian family of Puyang is willing to be our inner supporter and help us open the city gate. Puyang can get it!" Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia said without thinking about it,

"There is a problem! How could Lu Bu suddenly leave at this time?"

Cao Cao replied,

"Lu Bu really wanted to fight us directly at the beginning and wanted to fight quickly. But now he found that we are not as easy to deal with as he imagined. So it is reasonable to deal with internal conflicts first and then deal with us! And if you have a detailed report, you did see Lu Bu leading his troops out of the city and leaving the city of Puyang, which is absolutely true!" (To be continued...)
