If you fail to seize the opportunity when we meet for the first time, I believe there will be no chance in the future!
Lin Mu thought confidently in his heart.
"Okay, it's inconvenient to stand here. Let's go in. Dian Sima and Wang Lang in the back room have been waiting for a long time. Now that Lin Sima appears, we can continue our war agenda." Liu Yao is a landlord. No matter what, he doesn't want to See conflicts emerging.
Afterwards, everyone entered the central hall and took their seats one by one. Of course, only the master is seated, and the attendants only stand behind him.
When entering the room, Cao Cao introduced others to Lin Mu in a low voice, which surprised Lin Mu.
Cao Cao treated him as a courtesy and was very polite. If it were him, a person he had only met once and sparred with once, he would definitely not treat her like this.
Cao Cao's open-mindedness shocked Lin Mu's heart.
After sitting down, Lin Mu observed everyone without leaving a trace, taking their appearance, combat strength, and performance into his mind.
There were five guests in total, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Wang Lang, Dian Wei, and Lin Mu. They all represent one force.
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Dian Wei, and Lin Mu all had powerful generals standing behind them, but that Wang Lang, for some reason, didn't even have any generals.
Lin Mu was not very familiar with Wang Lang. He was now dressed as an elegant scholar, with a delicate black silk ribbon on his head, and his hair was neatly combed into a bun.
Wearing a blue Confucian uniform, he gently played with a thumb ring in his right hand, and tied a seal ribbon and two ornaments around his waist.
His eyes are relatively long and narrow, but they are bright and bright; he has two beards under his nose and a goat's hoof-shaped beard on his chin, making him look like a standard ancient scribe.
Through Cao Cao's introduction, Wang Lang was a student of the current Taiwei Yang Ci, and he was highly valued by the Taiwei. In this expedition against Xu Zhao, [Taiwei] Yang Ci was also behind him.
Hearing the information about Wang Lang, Lin Mu was shocked. It turned out that this Wang Lang was not a rookie.
Through the information from the Yeying Department, Lin Mu made a preliminary judgment that Wang Lang might be the first to lose in this battle, because the Wushang City he attacked had heavy troops and an ambush.
However, the layout of the Night Shadow Department was still weak after all, and the information collection was not comprehensive or in-depth. Wang Lang had the support of Taiwei Yang Ci, so this information was not found out.
If he had this information, Lin Mu would not judge that Wang Lang would lose casually.
It seems that Xu Zhao's layout in Wushang City may be frustrated. The future battle situation seems a bit unclear again.
These aborigines are truly incredible.
While Lin Mu was observing everyone, the landlord Liu Yao spoke.
"None of the people present are outsiders. I know that the situation in Yangzhou today is not too optimistic. There are banditry attacks one after another. There is even Xu Zhao, the governor of Kuaiji County, who rebelled against Longting and became bold and proclaimed himself king. Such rebellious actions, It happened in Yangzhou, which made Long Ting very angry, and even the imperial edict has been issued to put down the rebellion."
"Although I didn't mention him by name, we enjoy the emperor's fortune and receive the emperor's salary. If we can't share the worries for our son, we are already derelict in our duties! Therefore, we must do our best to punish Xu Zhao severely."
"You are all heroes, and you are all ministers who share your worries. Do you have any good ideas?" Liu Yao first spoke generously, and then asked for strategies.
Hearing this, Lin Mu was slightly startled. He looked around and found that there was really no full-time counselor here!
It turns out that it’s not that I am short of counselors, but others are also in need. Otherwise, I would never travel without one.
In the world of mythology, when the lord travels, he usually brings military commanders and advisors with him.
Mao Jie, who is by Cao Cao's side, is not here now. He may be in Zhuji City.
As for Sun Jian, I don't know if there are counselors around him. According to his previous life experience, he did not have any, because he was a man of both civil and military skills. Sun Jian had good control over the situation and planning on the battlefield.
Although there are no counselors, the people present are not stupid people, they are even smart people, and there is no problem in dealing with a mere battle.
"The officers and soldiers have been attacking the three key roads in Kuaiji County for some time. However, Xu Zhao's forces are very tenacious because of the dangerous key roads. Without a plan to break the situation, it will be difficult to attack the key roads and cities head-on." Although the battle situation was relatively difficult, he looked quite relaxed and confident, as if he had a sure chance of victory!
"What Meng De said is true. In my opinion, Xu Zhao may still have hidden military strength and act when the opportunity arises! The previous offensive and defensive battles between our two sides were just tests. If we attack by force, we will injure the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred to ourselves." situation." Sun Jian next to him also looked confident.
Lin Mu was not much around. Seeing the expressions on Cao Cao and Sun Jian's faces, he couldn't help but feel a sense of strategizing and winning a thousand miles away.
He is indeed a super celebrity!
Dian Wei and Wang Lang beside them were speechless, and Lin Mu turned slightly to look at them.
Dian Wei didn't need to, he looked very calm and composed, as if he was not a fierce general charging into battle.
Wang Lang, on the other hand, had been sitting there from the beginning, expressionless, not looking at Lin Mu, as if he was extremely steady.
In fact, he didn't feel good about Lin Mu in his heart. He was just a little-known lieutenant with 50,000 soldiers, and he had many under his command!
He was not impressed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian's behavior of valuing Lin Mu. When Lin Mu handed over the invitation, Liu Yao announced on the spot that he knew Lin Mu's contribution, but it was just an act of picking up advantages. They were just counting the ways. The army is restrained at the front, so that it can wreak havoc in the rear.
Wang Lang was a little dissatisfied!
Lin Mu took a look at his expression and made a preliminary judgment about Wang Lang.
He is not as open-minded as Cao Cao and Sun Jian. His arrogance and arrogance are all displayed. Unlike Cao Cao and others, his pride is hidden deep and his arrogance is restrained!
With Lin Mu's keen senses, coupled with the contrast between Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the scene, there was a huge gap. Wang Lang gave Lin Mu the feeling of "gold and jade on the outside, but ruin on the inside".
"Originally our situation was a little behind, but after Lin Sima's good news, I feel that our chance of victory has appeared!" Cao Cao smiled and looked at Lin Mu.
Sun Jian and Liu Yao beside them also nodded in approval.
Currently, the three main points are in a stalemate. If one of the main points fails, Xu Zhao may overturn the situation.
When Sun Jian marched from the sea, he originally wanted to directly attack Yuyao City, go straight to Huanglong, and defeat Xu Zhao. However, he did not expect that Yuyao City had an extraordinary general and an elite garrison. It is already a delusion to march from coastal cities such as Juzhang City and Luan County City.
Because now that Xu Zhaojun has taken shape, if Yuyao City is defeated, the entire Wu County may fall into war. This is not what Sun Jian wants to see.
Just like Sun Jian, the same is true for Cao Cao's Zhuji City and Wang Lang's Wushang City.
"That's right, an unexpected surprise has appeared in the battle, and that is Lin Sima! With his five-city power, he can add fire to the situation and boost morale! Lin Sima's outstanding achievements will definitely be promoted to the next level!" Cao Cao said briefly It was intended to be a recommendation and meant to point out something to Liu Yao.
"Lin Sima, you are a Sima from another department in a county. You only have 50,000 soldiers. If you can have a full regiment, you may be able to deal a fatal blow to Xu Zhao!" Liu Yao had a good understanding of the situation and knew that Lin The importance of pastoral care.
"Originally, the Sima of Kuaiji County was Xu Huang under Xu Zhao's command. After Xu Zhao's rebellion, Long Ting had removed his position. Now Lin Sima has recovered the five cities, and with his merits, he can be qualified to serve as the Sima of other counties!" Liu Yao said softly! .
"However, after Lin Sima regained the five cities, did he collect the county magistrate's seals and ribbons? When I report my merits, I need to use them as proof! In this way, Lin Sima can be upgraded." Liu Yao also has his own plan, just a mere one He is just a commander in the county department, not important.
And the position of county magistrate of the five cities is worth more than that in Liu Yao's eyes!
And these so-called credentials are just an excuse for him. With them, he can recommend his own disciples and followers. If the rebellion in the state is put down, the recommended talents may succeed in taking office.
"Yes, when I saw the governor, I forgot to offer such a heavy gift. It's my fault!" Lin Mu also said in an official tone, pretending to be confused.
Lin Mu took out the seal and ribbon of the Wucheng County Magistrate and gently handed it to Liu Yao.
The county magistrate's seal ribbon is a cyan jade pendant as big as a nine-year-old child's palm, with auspicious dragon patterns carved on it, which is quite magical.
It is a symbol of Longting's soft position and a medium for enjoying Longting's luck!
As long as it is approved by Long Ting, it can increase its reputation by 1,000 points every time, just like Lin Mu's Dao Jiu Seal!
Several people next to him showed playful smiles.
Although Lin Mu was promoted, it was still illusory. He was not included in the soft position of Longting and could not share the dragon's luck.
With just a mere false name, the stalemate situation in Kuaiji County can be brought to light. This business is so profitable!
Lin Mu still needs to recruit his own soldiers, and he also needs to provide various military supplies himself.
Liu Yao didn't mention the so-called military support or soldier support at all, and completely let Lin Mu collect it himself.
Lin Mu didn't complain at all, after all, this was the result he wanted most.
"Lin Sima, this is the token of Sima from another department in Kuaiji County. Keep it!" Liu Yao gently took out a token and handed it to Lin Mu.
"Hey, Lord Governor, don't the commanders of other departments in the county need to report to the court?" Lin Mu asked doubtfully.
There is an essential difference between the Sima of the county department and the Sima of the county department. After all, positions that can recruit 200,000 soldiers need to be reported to the court and are not decided by local officials.
In addition, the commanders of other counties have the independent right to conduct expeditions, and can conduct expeditions across counties and states. In other words, if Lin Mu is a Sima from another branch of Kuaiji County, he can go to other states, such as Youzhou and Liangzhou, to conquer foreign tribes on the border. Sima from other counties did not have such full strength.
"There is no need to report. The last time the imperial edict came, the orders of the commanders of other departments in this county were also issued, allowing me to do things easily!" Liu Yao shook his head and said.
I didn’t expect it to be so easy to get! This was beyond Lin Mu's expectation, because reporting it would definitely take a long time.
"That's very good. With this order, I can better serve Longting!" Lin Mu said respectfully.
"Then what are your plans, sir?" Lin Mu asked softly. Although he was already a Sima of the county department, he was still a latecomer and his status was still backward.
After hearing Lin Mu's words, Cao Cao and Sun Jian looked at each other and smiled. Their goal was achieved.
"We have already planned. Lin Sima will lead his troops to march from Juzhang City, besiege Yuyao City, capture this important road, and give Xu Zhao an important blow!"
"And Sima Dian will assist Mr. Wang Lang in capturing Wushang City. I will use all my strength to capture Zhuji City and surround Xu Zhao on three sides!" Cao Cao said, strategizing.
Lin Mu understood Cao Cao's plan when he heard it. No wonder Cao Cao and his party were so polite to him.
It turns out that they had planned it for a long time. Maybe when they captured Juzhang City, they had already fallen into their eyes and become a pawn in their plan!
