The hall fell into silence again.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Lu Bu, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Could this letter be Cao Cao's conspiracy?
This concern indeed surprised them, but what really shocked them was that the question was raised by Lu Bu.
Especially Chen Deng, blinking his eyes, is he really Lu Bu?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would be more willing to believe that it was Chen Gong who questioned Lu Bu, which made him ask this shocking question.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were also a little confused and looked at each other without saying a word.
"What Marquis Wen thinks is exactly what I am thinking about."
Chen Gong, who was the first to react, took a step forward with joy, bowed and said: "If Liu Bei wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, he should have done so when Ji Ling led his troops on the expedition. At that time, he had only a few soldiers and insufficient food and grass.
Now, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there is plenty of food and grass. At this time, it is not wise to join forces with Cao Cao. "
Perhaps awakened by Lu Bu's shout, Chen Gong pushed aside his confusion and finally discovered the most unreasonable thing about this matter, that is, the timing was wrong.
"Marquis Wen, this kind of thing cannot be taken for granted. If the belief is true, we will really have no chance when Cao Cao's army arrives."
After adjusting, Chen Deng immediately spoke up.
"What do you two say?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who were standing at the door.
After the two looked at each other, they bowed tacitly and said, "I will obey Marquis Wen's orders."
Lu Bu held his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
Since occupying Xuzhou, when Chen Gong and Chen Deng disagreed, he tended to favor the latter.
It's not that Chen Deng is more talented than Chen Gong by default. In fact, if he wants to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou, he has to rely on the Chen family.
But right now...
What they both said made sense, and for a moment Lu Bu had no idea at all.
The person who tied the bell needs to be untied, so I'd better ask that guy.
Lu Bu took a long breath and said in a low voice: "Let me think twice."
After that, he stood up and left the prefect's mansion.
He first went back home and prepared to change into his military uniform.
Lu Bu's home is right next door to the Prefect's Mansion. This was originally the General's Mansion where Liu Bei lived. It was located next door to make it easier to discuss politics on weekdays.
After changing into a blue brocade uniform, Lu Bu strode towards Pingfu Street.
...
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north; the dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost; the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River, who can resist in twenty years..."
Lin Mo was lying on the lazy chair, crossing his legs and humming a tune leisurely.
The afternoon sun shone on his face through the sweet-scented osmanthus tree behind him, which was very pleasant.
Who can resist in twenty years?
Haha...the songs this guy sings are pretty crazy.
Standing at the door, Lu Bu felt that he was probably the only one in the world worthy of these lyrics.
"My father-in-law is here?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Bu walking in. Lin Mo stood up from the lazy chair, bowed with a smile and said, "I thought you had returned to Wen County."
"Hearing what you said, I feel a little resentful."
Lu Bu was not in the mood to joke with him. He pressed his hand to Lin Mo who stood up and was about to enter the inner room, "Stop working, just sit here."
After asking him to sit down, Lin Mo brought a small stool and stood next to him, "Master-in-law, it's been half a month. It's time to finish visiting friends. When will we set off back to Wen County."
Lin Mo is very conflicted now.
He didn't know when Cao Cao would attack Xuzhou, and he was worried that once he attacked the city, he would become the target of a massacre.
But after leaving Xuzhou, he was worried that Zhan Wuzha would die in the hands of bandits.
We can only hope that 'Zhang Xing' will finish visiting friends soon so that he can go to Wen County to avoid trouble.
"Let's not mention this yet."
Lu Bu waved his hand and looked at Lin Mo attentively, "During this period, I seriously thought about what you said last time. If Lu Bu really received the letter, he might not use troops against Xiaopei, because Cao Cao ignored the last thing he said. A crucial place.”
Lin Mo looked at Lu Bu without saying anything, waiting for his next words.
"opportunity!"
Lu Bu rapped his finger bones on the table next to him and analyzed:
"If you think about it carefully, when Yuan Shu sent out troops, Liu Bei had only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. At that time, he did not surrender to Cao Cao. What about now?
Did you know that Liu Bei had already recruited tens of thousands of troops in Xiaopei? How could he choose to join Cao Cao at this time? "
Sure enough, his test for me is not over yet.
This is also something that cannot be done.
After all, the presumption is that people won’t be willing to believe you’re right until something happens.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and sat upright. He estimated that his future father-in-law would not take him to Wen County unless he came up with some useful information.
Today, let me tell you why Hua'er is so popular!
"Timing is not important at all. Even whether Lu Bu will send troops to attack Xiaopei is not the key. When this letter falls into Lu Bu's hands, the situation in Xuzhou is no longer under his control."
What a joke, could the situation in Xuzhou get out of control just because a letter fell into my hands?
Lu Bu sneered as if he had heard a fantasy: "You are just being alarmist."
Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "My father-in-law, after Lu Bu received this letter, he chose to be indifferent. Then the powerful families in Xuzhou will think that Lu Bu is afraid. Should we get in touch with Cao Cao as soon as possible?"
Attack the heart?
Lu Bu couldn't help clenching his fists.
This is indeed what those powerful people from aristocratic families did.
Moreover, Chen Deng knew about this, which meant that all the powerful families in Xuzhou knew about it and could not hide it.
"Even so, it's not as exaggerated as you said."
"This is just one of them."
Lin Mo put away his smile and spoke louder, "The most fatal thing is the second one. If I guess correctly, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to write just one letter with his skill. There should be a second letter."
"Second letter? Where is it?"
"Xiao Pei, Liu Bei's hand."
Lin Mo knocked on the table lightly and said firmly: "This letter was written by Lu Bu to Yuan Shu. As for the content, the two families have become in-laws. I am willing to use the passage and ask Yuan Shu to attack with peace of mind. I will never interfere. "
Hiss~
Lu Bu took a deep breath and his pupils expanded rapidly.
At this moment, the Yuan and Lu families were not really married, but there was quite a fight when the Huainan envoys came to Pengcheng to propose marriage. Liu Bei must have known about it.
With the prelude to marriage, Liu Bei 'accidentally' intercepted such a letter. No one would doubt the content of the letter.
What will happen then?
Even if there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is not enough to face Huainan's powerful force. The only way to save yourself is to join Cao Cao...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Lu Bu became. His breathing became rapid.
"No wonder you said that Xuzhou lost control after this letter fell into Lu Bu's hands. Now it seems that this move is simply a conspiracy and cannot be avoided.
Cao Cao is really treacherous and cunning..."
There was a hint of despair in Lu Bu's trembling voice.
Lin Mo said this half a month ago. He would have thought that this kid was just thinking about shit. How could there be such a thoughtful person?
But in fact, he had already predicted the appearance of the first letter, so this second letter...
No wonder, no wonder he said that there will be a war in Xuzhou soon, no wonder he wants to defect to Cao Cao, I almost want to go.
"So, my father-in-law, what I heard from my son-in-law is correct. A gentleman should leave Xuzhou and return to Wen County as soon as possible if he doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall."
That year I had my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.
Seeing his father-in-law's face turn pale after being shocked by his preset plan, Lin Mo felt that his ability to show off to others had improved to another level.
Now, you should be able to invest in me with confidence, right?
Rush back to Wen County during this period and go through the process of promoting filial piety and integrity. If the relationship is strong enough, you should be able to enter the Cao Group within a year.
In other words, there is still time to come up with a plan to flood Xuzhou.
Coupled with the inventions I have on hand, it’s not too much to grant me a title.
Thinking about the happy days ahead, Lin Mo felt energetic.
While Lin Mo was immersed in his thoughts, Lu Bu finally came to his senses. He looked at Lin Mo intently and took a deep breath, "Yunwen, according to what you said, Xuzhou is in a doomed situation.
I want to know, if you were to deal with it, would you still be able to recover? "
