The first year of Jian'an, that is, 196 AD.
Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
"I haven't heard of any big names in the Zhang family in Wen County, but cheap daddy said that the Zhang family is also a famous family in Wen County."
In the second courtyard, seventeen-year-old Lin Mo was lying on a homemade lazy chair in the courtyard, closing his eyes and thinking.
It has been a month since he traveled to this world. Both of his parents have died, and there are no resources left for him except this courtyard.
By the way, there was a marriage. Lin Mo's father had a chance to save Zhang Xing, the magistrate of Wen County, from bandits seven years ago. To express his gratitude, they arranged a baby wedding.
"When this marriage is finalized, I should be able to enjoy the benefits of the time traveler prophet."
As a time traveler, he tried to use his talents to get rid of his lowly status.
For example, before Xuzhou changed hands, he went to the prefect's palace to wait for Liu Bei to go out, pretending to be a superior person and told him about Lu Bu's sneak attack on Pengcheng, but he was almost killed by Zhang Fei as an assassin.
For another example, he once went to Chen Deng, a wealthy family in Xuzhou, to offer his refined salt purification technology, but the janitor wanted to arrest him as a serf.
Sure enough, everything in the novel is a lie. In this era, no one will believe anything an unidentified person says.
So he could only wait, wait for the marriage to be finalized, and use the Zhang family's heritage to bring out his prophetic skills.
It's not like he was waiting aimlessly. He received a letter from the Zhang family a few months ago, saying that Zhang Xing was going to visit friends in Xuzhou and would visit Lin Mo by the way.
"The visit is fake. You probably want to test my quality. If you are a mediocre person who can't stand up to the wall, Zhang Xing will probably find an excuse to call off the marriage."
He would appear in front of people, predict a few things, and make a few inventions, and then Zhang Xing would point at Lin Mo with a shocked expression and shout: "Oh my, Yun Wen has a talent that knows the world."
Well, the plot should be like this.
Lin Mo, who was lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, smiled. With the help of the Zhang family, he would go to the princes to offer advice. It would be stable.
Judging from the geographical location of Wen County, it is most appropriate to seek advice from Cao Cao.
Yes, it’s Cao Cao!
...
On the streets of Pengcheng, a man who was more than nine feet tall was wearing silver-white brocade clothes. He had a strong back, a face like a crown, and a pair of eyes like the eyes of an eagle, which gave people an intimidating feeling.
This man was Lu Bu, one of the most famous people in the world, the master of Xuzhou during this period.
Behind him was an equally burly man with a cold face, Yanmen Yingjie, the future nightmare of Jiangdong. Zhang Liao, known as Zhang Babai, pointed to the Erjin Villa in front of him and said:
"Marquis Wen, after following her several times, the lady disappears in this alley every time. It should be this family."
"So Lingqi didn't lie. Is there really such a wild boy?"
Not long ago, Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Xuzhou with a betrothal gift to propose marriage to his son, and the two families were married.
Being able to have an in-law who has four generations and three sons is extremely attractive to Lu Bu, a mud-legged man with no background.
But Lu Lingqi said that she was in love with a young man from Xuzhou, and they got out of control and had made a lifelong private relationship. In an era when parents ordered matchmakers, Lu Bu certainly couldn't accept it.
So he sent someone to follow him and prepared to find out the young man behind him, so he took this trip.
"If Marquis Wen finds it troublesome, ask the general to find this young man and give him some money to send him away from Xuzhou so that he can stop thinking about the young lady."
Lu Bu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lingqi has been stubborn since she was a child. It's best if this guy breaks off the relationship with her in person, so that she can marry to Huainan obediently."
After that, Lu Bu waved his hand, and Zhang Liao bowed his hands and turned around to leave.
Bang bang~
coming!
After a knock on the door, Lin Mo, who was lying on a lazy chair and taking a nap, jumped up and ran quickly to open the door.
The moment their eyes met, Lin Mo felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in his heart, and he quickly raised his hands and smiled:
"My son-in-law Lin Mo, named Yunwen, is waiting for my father-in-law."
"Waiting? So you know I'm coming?" Lu Bu's cold eyes flashed with surprise.
Lin Mo smiled and made an inviting gesture, "Counting the days, we should arrive in the next two days."
You knew I was coming and you didn't run away, you are so brave.
After following Lin Mo into the inner courtyard, he looked around carefully. There were no servants, and there was no plaque hanging at the door. He was not from a wealthy family, nor was he powerful. No wonder his subordinates had not been able to find out any information.
This is fine, a pariah, easy to get rid of.
Lu Bu, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Lin Mo, who was boiling water and making tea. He could still be so calm and calm in front of me. His temperament was much stronger than that of ordinary young men from aristocratic families.
The skin is also good.
At Lingqi's age, it's hard not to be deceived.
"Master-in-law, please have some tea."
After serving the tea respectfully, Lin Mo couldn't wait to start showing off his holiness in front of others, saying:
"I wonder if my father-in-law's trip to visit his friends is over. If it is, we should leave Xuzhou as soon as possible. There will be a war here soon. We, our father-in-law, can't afford to suffer the disaster of Chiyu."
Lu Bu, who had just taken a sip of tea, immediately changed his expression, "That's ridiculous, Xuzhou is impregnable, who dares to invade!"
"My father-in-law has lived in Wen County for a long time and may not know much about the situation in Xuzhou."
Lin Mo showed a secretive smile, straightened his back and said: "Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains, with Cao Cao in the west and Yuan Shu in the south. The two of them have long coveted Xuzhou. Lu Bu is brave and has no plans, and he will never be able to defend these two forces. attack."
Who do you think is brave and foolhardy?
Lu Bu's pupils suddenly gathered, and he was about to have an attack.
That's not right. He said that I had lived in Wen County for a long time and didn't know much about Xuzhou. He dared to say that I was brave and foolhardy in front of me...
Understood.
Lu Bu showed such an expression, it must be because Lingqi did not tell him her true identity.
She is indeed my daughter. She is very smart. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is from Wen County. Anyway, my fiefdom is not Wen County. It also eliminates the possibility of the other party having the idea of climbing the dragon and the phoenix.
"How can you understand what's going on inside at such a young age?"
Lu Bu calmed down his anger, glanced at Lin Mo, took on the posture of an elder and lectured: "Don't you know that Lu Bu is among men and the red rabbit is among horses, and Marquis Wen's reputation is far and wide, how dare the two of them violate the situation?
Not long ago, Yuan Shu was about to attack Liu Bei, and he was desperate. Marquis Wen fired a halberd at the gate, which not only averted the war, but also earned Liu Bei's peace of mind to defend the Xuzhou gate for him and stop Cao Cao from advancing eastward. Isn't this a clever plan? Courageous and resourceful? "
Seeing Zhang Xing's proud face, Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder, how could his father-in-law be so biased towards Lu Bu?
By the way, he said he was going to Xuzhou to visit friends. Could it be that he was visiting Lu Bu?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is a fact that he prefers Lu Bu. He still needs to weigh his next words carefully and not go too far.
Lin Mo coughed dryly and said with a faint smile: "What Lord Yue-Zhang said is true. Shooting a halberd at the gate is an eternal legend, and it's no big deal to bluff people like Ji Ling.
But if Cao Cao takes action..."
"How is he doing?" Lu Bu leaned forward slightly and looked at Lin Mo.
"Cao Cao is cunning and wise, and has many advisors under his command, but he is far beyond the comparison of Yuan Shu and his like."
Lin Mo took his time to make his words more convincing, "My father-in-law thinks that Liu Bei is defending Xuzhou for Lu Bu, but in my opinion, Cao Cao can definitely use Liu Bei to destroy Lu Bu."
