294 The Rise of Cao Cao 3

After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Xiahou Yuan said unwillingly: "Military advisor, you are too ambitious for that boy Lu Ning. He has no outsider to take advantage of a large number of war horses. If our army also has a large number of war horses and good weapons and armor, we can do that, even better than that boy Lu Ning. We are not worse than Lu Ning for training soldiers and leading troops to fight. At least we have read a few more military books than Lu Ning."

After hearing this, Xun You shook his head, you underestimated Lu Ning's ability too much. He developed to this day but did not rely on luck. In the past, I thought he was good by luck, but luck would have been so good for many years. Lu Ning led a large army to destroy the Huns and the Xianbei Tartar cavalry. This is a decisive battle. What's the point of taking advantage of tricks? "Lord, I also chatted with his subordinates during the detention of Lu Ning in Bingzhou. Lu Ning was not a grassroots hero we imagined. Although he had never read any books, his IQ was still quite high. His subordinates admired him very much. Even great scholars such as Guan Ning and Cai Yong looked at him with admiration. If Lu Ning were what we said, he would not have been domineering on the northern prairie for so many years, and what he did on the northern prairie for so many years.

What he did can only show that Lu Ning is also very capable, which is also my re-evaluation of Lu Ning since he came back from Bingzhou. Lu Ning kidnapped scholars, but the kidnapped people later devoted themselves to him. Even the big families in Hedong who hated him to the core, aren’t they all turning to Lu Ning now? The big families in Hedong sent talents from their families to Lu Ning to do things, which also shows that Lu Ning has been recognized in their minds. Speaking of the elite soldiers, I saw the soldiers under Lu Ning with my own eyes. They are indeed a tiger and wolf army. Our army is really not an opponent at the moment. But Lu Ning has one thing, that is, if you don’t mess with him, he will not easily mess with you. Once you cause trouble for him, he will return it ten times. This person is clear in grudges and courageous, dares to do anything, and never cares about consequences."

After hearing this, Cao Hong said, "Gongda, our army now has more than 300,000 troops. Are we still afraid that Lu Ning would not be able to do that boy? Although his record is good, our army is not bad either. The only difference between our army than Da Xiong is only weapons, equipment, weapons, armor and no more war horses. It turns out that Dong Zhuo's army is more than our army, and Yuan Shao's army is also more than our army. Now Dong Zhuo is dead. Yuan Shao has been wiped out by Lu Ning. Now our army is the largest in the world. Moreover, we occupy Yanzhou, which is also a wealthy place, which is much stronger than the places occupied by Lu Ning."

Xun Yu thought, it would be a waste of food and grass. Although our army has many, its quality is not as good as the Big Bear Army. Once we fight, it is still unknown who will win. "Lord, my 300,000 Yellow Turban Army surrenders, and I don't have any combat effectiveness yet. Besides, our army has a large number of people, but our food and grass have become a problem. Even more than one million Yellow Turban Army's families have no money to resettle. Although we now have the entire territory of Yanzhou and have received a certain amount of food and grass, our own army has too many soldiers and cannot meet the needs. As for weapons and equipment, weapons and armor are also difficult. We are producing, but no matter what we do, we cannot produce equipment with excellent performance as Lu Ning. Compared with the weapons and armor purchased by Gongda from Bingzhou, we all have too poor production. Once we fight with Lu Ning's army, we will suffer a great loss."

Not long after Cheng Yu came, he heard everyone discussing for a long time and said, "My lord, although I don't know much about Lu Ning, over the years, I have been paying attention to his dynamics. I am very indignant of his actions that he has done, which are cruel and despicable, and I have never thought of Lu Ning's reckless man. If Lu Ning is just about leading troops to fight, Lu Ning is still remarkable, not useless, but the key is that he has a large number of cavalry, which is his ace. If the cavalry does not fight on the plains, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, so we don't need to be afraid of Lu Ning. How strong can a ignorant person be? The lord is now full of famous scholars and generals, which is incomparable to Lu Ning. In less than a few years, we will definitely be stronger than him and surpass him."

After hearing this, Xun Yu could not agree with his opinion and said directly: "Lord, Lu Ning must not ignore this person. He said that he has no talents, so he cannot say that. Like Guo Jia, a famous scholar I recommended to his lord, this person was full of talent. He originally agreed to join him. I don't know why, but now he has become Lu Ning's military advisor. This shows that Lu Ning himself also has the ability to attract talents. Otherwise, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Sima Lang and others would not devote themselves to working for him."

Cao Ren thought, what do you scholars know about Lu Ning's abilities? If Lu Ning does not have the ability, he will destroy the Huns, Xianbei and other Tartars, then they are all fierce cavalry. The Han Dynasty has not been able to defeat the Tartars for many years. Then Lu Ning has defeated it now, and you are talking about it again. "Lord, the strength of the Big Bear Army is an indisputable fact, otherwise it will be able to win more with less. Could it be that he can do evil? We should try our best to buy more weapons and equipment from Big Bear. Only when our army's equipment is up, its strength will be improved. Without strength as a backing, just say that Lu Ning is a paper tiger and Lu Ning is a big fool, that is useless. Other people's record is there, we must face the facts and don't deceive ourselves.

After hearing Cao Ren's words, Xiahou Dun said, "Lord, Zixiao is right. We must buy more equipment from Big Bear Xun, so that our army's strength will be qualitatively improved. If we have strong strength, of course we don't have to be afraid of anyone. If we are not strong, it will be useless to say anything."

Cao Cao looked at everyone. If you don’t take Lu Ning in your eyes, I do regard him as the most powerful opponent. Lu Ning has no fixed pattern in doing things, is not influenced by others, and has no worries. This is the most terrible thing. "Everyone said it makes sense. We have no reason to blame Lu Ning, and we have no right to blame a hero who has made such outstanding contributions to our great man. No matter how the world evaluates Lu Ning’s actions over the years, he led a large army to eliminate the Huns. The fact that the Xianbei Tartars is as proof as eloquent as eloquence, and no one here can erase his meritorious deeds. I not only do not support Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's behavior, but I think these two people should indeed be rebuked, and the result is the best punishment for them. Our task now is to work hard to strengthen our strength and expand our power. This is the most important thing. The relationship with Lu Ning must continue to be maintained."
