"Generals, you know, sometimes it is better to release someone than to kill someone to lower the opponent's morale."

"Huh? What kind of fallacy is this? Letting someone go means letting someone go. How can it also damage the opponent's morale?"

Sun Jian, who was slightly closer to Lu Zihang, spoke, his small eyes full of doubts.

Seeing his confusion, Lu Zihang patiently answered:

"No, no, it would be a good idea to let that man go back. Considering his miserable situation and panic, the fear effect will be spread to the opponent's army."

"Secondly, we put him back. Do you think he will survive? No, he will not survive. If the generals guarding the city have any brains, they will not wait to let him die."

"Keeping him means brazenly displaying his failure for everyone to see. As long as he lives for a day, some soldiers will say, look, that is the general who was so frightened by the opponent that he peed his pants and ran away.

"

"Then... what if the man guarding the city has no brains and doesn't kill him, wouldn't we be at a loss?" The upright Sun Jian continued to ask.

Lu Zihang twitched the corner of his mouth calmly. To be honest, he really likes pure martial arts. After all, these guys have no brains and can hit wherever they want.

But when they become curious, they are not so cute...

Of course, Lu Zihang couldn't express what he was thinking. He paused and then said:

"Even if he doesn't die, the benefits to us will only outweigh the disadvantages. Think about it, with such a leader, how can the soldiers under his command be better? No one will obey him, and those who welcome him will only

It’s ridicule and abuse.”

"This kind of atmosphere will gradually spread to the entire army, causing them to feel panic and the army's morale to be disorganized. Maybe it will break up at the first touch."

Hearing what Lu Zihang said, everyone present nodded as if they suddenly understood.

The brainless fighting maniac has never thought that sometimes letting someone go could be so useful.

Suddenly, their views on Lu Zihang changed a lot.

"Did you see? This is the difference between a brain and a brainless person. I ask you to read more books. Each one will be dumber than the other!"

Sun Jian turned his head, faced his generals, and started preaching mode.

Beside him, Cheng Pu and Cheng Demou, went in through the left ear and out through the right ear, pretending not to hear anything.

Huang Gai, who was following Sun Jian on horseback, said bluntly: "You still have the nerve to say that you are the fastest in every fight. If you have no brains, you are clearly the first...

..”

"Hey, Huang Gongfu, you are wrong. If I want to have a brain, why do I need counselors? Can't you improve yourself for me?"

The generals behind Sun Jian: "..." You also know that you are a reckless man!

"Uh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay. The lord's two daughters and one son are both civil and military, aren't they? Hehehe."

Cheng Pu, as the first person to smooth things over, muttered happily.

While Sun Jian's subordinates were teasing each other, Cao Cao, who was standing on the side, stroked his beard thoughtfully and suddenly continued:

"Well, it's pretty much what I thought, but for some reason, I always feel that you haven't finished saying something?"

Since there was a "blocking Sun Jian" between Cao Cao's team and Zhang Feng's team, his voice was inevitably louder.

This opening once again attracted the attention of others.

"General, you are smart. I do have some things that I haven't explained yet. Please take a look at the middle of the gate building in Sishui. Is there a person standing somewhere?"

Lu Zihang moved his fan, raised his head, and pointed at the majestic Sishuiguan Pass.

I saw densely packed soldiers standing on the city wall of Sishui Pass. They all held bows and arrows and were ready to go.

Among them, stood a general wearing special armor and with a sad look on his face.

"Presumably, that should be the general guarding Sishui Pass."

"Well, indeed, but what does this have to do with what happened just now?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, covered the sun with his hands, and looked up at Sishui Pass.

He did see the general Lu Zihang mentioned, but he failed to understand what Lu Zihang meant.

In other words, he caught some clues, but failed to fully understand them.

"Since he is a fighting general, most people must rush to win, but do you think there is something wrong with Wenying who was in front of the battle just now?"

"Something's wrong... What's wrong... Well, he's too weak?" Xiahou Dun, who had been listening, twirled his fingers around his hair and said casually.

"Yes, he is too weak. I thought at first that they thought the coalition had no one, so they came to provoke him, but when I thought about it carefully, I found something was wrong."

Lu Zihang put up his glasses and moved his gaze forward until he stared at Hu Zhen's face.

The distance was too far and he couldn't see the other person's expression, but he always felt it was very strange...

"Weakness, is weakness also a problem?" Xiahou Dun became interested and asked excitedly.

"Of course it's a question, Miss Xiahou, do you still remember what he said when he first announced his family name?"

Lu Zihang probed his head, blinked, and looked at Xiahoudun's rosy cheeks.

When Xiahou Dun felt his gaze, she felt a rare shyness. She turned her head and replied:

"What he is talking about is that I am the general under General Hu Zhen, Wenying."

"Well, yes, he is Hu Zhen's general Wenying, but in my opinion, he is just a deputy general at best."

Lu Zihang said firmly:

"Having said that, if Hu Zhen really wanted to fix the problem, why didn't he do it himself and instead asked a deputy general to do it? This is unreasonable."

"Also assuming that he is not doing it for military glory, then there is no need for him to let his young general come to die. Since Wenying is his deputy general, Hu Zhen must be very aware of his strength."

"Unless his blind confidence reaches the top level, he will not send his lieutenants to fight... As for those thousand cavalry, don't you think they are more like gifts than to assist in the battle?"

Lu Zihang's words were very clear, and almost everyone present understood what he meant.

Finally, Cao Cao made a conclusion.

"So that's it. If Hu Zhen's blind self-confidence really reached its peak, then he would go out to fight on his own and would not let Wenying come to die. In this way, he has no reason to let Wenying come to fight against the general."

"Then, there is only one reason for him to do this, and that is... he wants to kill Wenying. You are really a great talent, and Gongsun Zan is really lucky to have him help you!"

Cao Cao excitedly praised Lu Zihang and even used his honorific title.

Lu Zihang could also hear that this was Cao Cao's solicitation, but unfortunately, he was not from this world, so naturally he could not respond to his thirst for talents.

Moreover, at this time in history, Cao Cao also had many powerful counselors under his command, and there were many who were better than him, Lu Zihang.

Whenever Cao Cao brought any counselor with him, he would be able to see through Hu Zhen's thoughts.

It's impossible for him to not have a single adviser, right?

Probably...impossible?

It was over, as he talked, Lu Zihang himself was no longer confident. After all, Guan Yu was under Cao Cao's control, and other things seemed not impossible.

"Although I don't know what the purpose of this Hu Zhen is, but in any case, if you don't kill Wenying, you will gain blood. A dog with a broken spine cannot stop our army from advancing. Let's let him bark at his master's house for the time being."

Lu Zihang did not directly answer Cao Cao's solicitation. He waved his hand and waved his fan again.

It's just that everyone can see that he is very embarrassed at this moment.

On the other side, Hu Zhen, who was standing on the city wall, was already furious.

He never expected that the gift he had sent out with his own hands would be thrown back at the other side!

What do they think?

How could such an exciting opportunity be given up like this?!

Unfortunately, he couldn't kill Wenying in public. The defeat of the general was humiliating, which was already considered punishment. He couldn't take this opportunity to get on the line.

Gee, it seems like we have to find another way to get rid of him.

Hu Zhen ordered the city gate to be opened and took back a thousand cavalry and Wenying. The deputy general beside him asked strangely:

"General, it's a good thing that Vice General Wen is back. Why are you still looking so sad?"
