Three Kingdoms: Koi Advisor, starting from assisting Cao Cao

"Wenyou, what happened again?"

Dong Zhuo raised his wine glass, and a maid hurriedly stepped forward to fill it up.

Li Ru looked at the decadent Dong Zhuo, sighed and said,"My official arranged for the spies in Chenliu to report!"

"Cao Cao has recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers in Chenliu."

"What? Cao Cao, a traitor, actually recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers?"

Dong Zhuo slammed the table in front of him with a look of disbelief.

"This is indeed the Grand Master. This thief, Cao Cao, cannot be underestimated now. After all, this thief will be the Grand Master's innermost concern."

Li Ru said what he was thinking, with a trace of solemnity on his face.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then there was a trace of a smile on his face.

He called the maid to fill up a glass of wine again, drank it down and said:

"Wen You need not worry, even if Cao Cao recruits more than 10,000 new soldiers. He didn't dare to conquer me."

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's sudden change of expression and was a little confused. How could Dong Zhuo, who looked angry just now, suddenly become so relaxed?

"The subordinate was puzzled and asked the grand master to clarify."

Li Ru bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo touched his waist and said with a trace of confidence on his face:

"I have been a soldier on the battlefield all my life, and I am most familiar with the army."

"In addition to armor and weapons, an army also needs food and grass."

"Cao Cao recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers. These new soldiers had weapons, armor, and food and grass. How would Cao Cao supply them?"

"Zhang Miao is just a prefect of Chenliu, Cao Cao's family property will not be too much"

"Once Cao Cao was unable to supply the food, armor, and weapons needed by the army, the morale of the soldiers would be weakened."

"Of these more than 10,000 new recruits, how many soldiers can be retained?"

Li Ru was awakened when he heard Dong Zhuo's words. He only paid attention to the number of soldiers and did not pay attention to other aspects.

Dong Zhuo's life as a soldier did indeed know the soldiers better than he did as a scholar.

"The prime minister is wise, but the subordinate officials are foolish."

Li Ru quickly cupped his hands and said.

Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru admired him and continued with a smile:

"There is another point that Cao Cao needs to solve. All he recruits are new soldiers."

"I have a brave Xiliang army under my command. How can the new recruits of this thief compete with my Xiliang army?"

"Training new recruits cannot be done overnight. Even if Cao Cao has more than 10,000 new recruits, he still doesn't have the guts to fight against me."

Li Ru's eyes lit up when he heard Dong Zhuo's words. As Dong Zhuo's confidant, he knew the bravery of the Xiliang Army best.

Suddenly Li Ru thought of a question and looked at Dong Zhuo who was drinking wine and said:

"Report to Grand Master, since Cao Cao can recruit more than ten thousand recruits,"

"Will it be possible to solve the problem of food, weapons and armor for these more than 10,000 recruits? I think it's not that simple."

"Cao Cao was an extremely cunning thief who did not know how to supply the food, weapons and armor needed by the army."

Li Ru's feeling told him that this matter must not be that simple.

How could Cao Cao, such a smart man, make such a mistake?

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, a trace of ridicule appeared on his face.

"Wen You was worried. The only people who could provide Cao Cao with food, weapons and armor were those merchants."

"Businessmen are all here to make money. Cao Cao offended me."

"Those merchants were too late to avoid Cao Cao, so how could they provide Cao Cao with food, grass, weapons and armor?"

"Okay, Wenyou, please step aside, I still have things to do."

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo with a lustful smile on his face and sighed in his heart. He stood up and bowed, turned around and left the hall. Li Ru frowned as he walked out of the hall. He still felt that things were not that simple.

Li Ru believed that behind Cao Cao's back There may be someone giving him advice.

Cao Cao's recent actions in Chenliu made him feel a little strange.

With a sigh, Li Ru left the Taishi Mansion. All he could do was to let the spies pay more attention....

Bohai County, Governor's Mansion!

In the meeting hall, a man with a resolute face was sitting in the main seat looking at the brocade cloth in his hand. There were several scholars standing on both sides of him.

The man sitting on the main seat is none other than Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who have the background of four generations and three princes.

Although Yuan Shao was just a county guard, many counselors and generals defected to him because of his background.

And he recruited more than 20,000 soldiers. Now Yuan Shao has a strong army.

"A spy came to report that Cao Cao had recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers in Chenliu under the pretext of conquering Dong Zhuo."

"Gentlemen, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao put down the brocade cloth in his hand and looked at the few scholars in the hall.

"Cao Cao was courageous. He not only assassinated Dong Zhuo but also dared to recruit soldiers to fight against Dong Zhuo."

"However, in the opinion of the lower official, Cao Cao's recruitment of troops was in vain!"

A scholar spoke up first and expressed his opinion.

Yuan Shao became interested when he heard what the scholar said and said,"What does Xu You mean by this?"

Several other scholars also looked at Xu You, with a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

Xu You had a confident look on his face and said:"The army needs food, grass, weapons and armor the most."

"How could a cavalry captain in Cao Cao supply the needs of an army of more than 10,000 people? Even with Zhang Miao's help, it would never be possible."

"These more than 10,000 new soldiers will eventually become deserters, and Cao Cao will be in vain."

"What's more, the thief Dong Zhuo has an elite Xiliang army under his command, which is not comparable to Cao Cao's new soldiers."

Hearing Xu You's words, Yuan Shao nodded slightly, and several counselors looked at each other and agreed.

Only a scholar with a goatee looked at Xu You's face with a trace of disdain, stood up and said:

"Lord, Cao Cao is treacherous"

"Since he dares to do this, he may be prepared"

"I suspect that there are advisers secretly assisting Cao Cao. Xu

You looked at the goatee scholar with a hint of disdain and said:

"Tian Feng, don’t think too much, Cao Cao fled from Luoyang all the way to Chenliu"

"If there was a counselor secretly assisting him, how could he be in such a mess?"

Yuan Shao was originally moved by Tian Feng's words, but after hearing Xu You's words, he felt that they made sense.

"Xu You's words are reasonable. How Cao Cao recruits troops has nothing to do with us."

"What we have to face is Dong Zhuo, the traitor. Continue to recruit troops."

"There is no need to worry about food, grass and money, the Yuan family can afford it."

Looking at Yuan Shao who looked confident, Xu You and others quickly saluted and said:"My lord is wise."

They chose to assist Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao has the support of the Yuan family.
