If I remember correctly, this was the first time my father-in-law called me by my name.
Only then did Lin Mo realize that his father-in-law's expression was quite interesting. It was clearly Lu Bu who was in trouble, so why did he get on his face.
etc...
"My father-in-law is visiting an old friend this time. I don't know who he is. Can you tell me?"
At first, Lin Mo felt that the other party was shocked by his ingenious plan.
But thinking back to how he defended Lu Bu when they first met, a bad thought came to his mind.
Don't let this guy really have anything to do with Lu Bu. If history is messed up, how can I still enjoy the prophet's benefits?
"oh..."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Lu Bu coughed dryly, straightened his chest and regained his usual coldness, and said, "There's nothing I can't say. Have you ever heard of Lu Wentao's name?"
"Lu Wentao...Lu Su's father?"
"Do you know Lu Zijing?"
Originally thinking of just casually naming the name of an aristocratic family, Lu Bu didn't expect Lin Mo to be able to say Lu Su's name, and he suddenly looked surprised.
"do not know."
Lin Mo shook his head, "I've only heard of his name."
Lu Su was Sun Ce who followed Zhou Yu to defect before the Xuzhou War in 198. He should have been in Xuzhou at this time.
"Don't you want me to recommend you as a filial and honest official?"
Lu Bu rolled his eyes and thought about it, "Then you have to show me what you are capable of. The problem just now seemed like a dead end. If you can break the situation, I will ask Lu Wentao to recommend you now." Under Lu Bu's command.
In Xuzhou, I don’t need to say more about the prestige of the Lu family. I believe Lu Bu will give him this face. "
"What's so hard about this?"
As soon as he heard that his father-in-law was willing to uphold filial piety and integrity for him, Lin Mo immediately became energetic, leaned towards him, and said with the corners of his mouth:
"Crisis, crisis, danger and opportunity come together. In my son-in-law's opinion, Cao Cao's move is not only not a conspiracy, but a great gift to Lu Bu."
"Say it quickly!"
Lu Bu retreated tactically in excitement.
Let it go if it's not a big gift, let's resolve the issue of life and death first.
"My father-in-law wants to test my son-in-law. This is understandable. My son-in-law has put forward his opinion. If my father-in-law is satisfied, he will promote me as a filial and honest person. Of course it will be the best result, but..."
Lin Mo smiled coquettishly, "There's no need to go to work under Lu Bu. No one from the Lu family will go, so why should I?"
Ah this...
Lu Bu had a black streak on his head.
Yes, among the local aristocratic families, Lu Wentao was quite respectful to me, and he did not let Lu Zijing work under me.
Lu Bu felt desolate in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you all look down on Lu Bu so much? Is he so miserable?"
"Do I still need to say the reason?"
Lin Mo was surprised that his father-in-law would ask such a question, and said: "Hasn't your father-in-law heard that Lu Bu is among men, and red rabbit is among horses..."
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light, and just when he was about to agree, Lin Mo didn't stop, "Fang Tian drew a halberd to stab his adoptive father."
Lu Bu's eyes twitched as he said, "What do you want to do?"
"The act of patricide in the early years has already ruined his reputation. Who doesn't know that he is capricious. Liu Bei took him in, and he also took over people's cities. How can he convince the public?"
"These are just common people's views on Lu Bu. You have no reason and you don't know the truth." Lu Bu sighed. Even if it is true, you can't go around saying it.
Lin Mo turned a deaf ear and said to himself, "If there's one thing I like about him, it's his background."
"It's not easy for Lu Bu."
Lin Mo stretched out, "Looking at the world, the Yuan family brothers have four generations and three princes. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are under the influence of their ancestors. Cao Cao relies on the connections and resources accumulated by his grandfather Cao Jie. Even Liu Bei has to fight for it. The brand of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
Lu Bu was the only one who rose up in the world. It was not easy for him to get to where he is today with his mud-legged background. When doing things, he would inevitably consider gains and losses first, rather than worry about reputation.
After all, the only one he can rely on is himself. "
Over the years, no one has truly understood me.
At this moment, Lu Bu's nose felt a little sore. He looked at Lin Mo blankly, speechless, and the past appeared in his mind...
Can the children of aristocratic families who have lived in fine clothing since childhood understand how difficult it is for them to come out of the barren land of Jiuyuan?
What they can get with a wave of their hands, they have to fight for with their lives.
You have a good father and good ancestors, but I don’t.
If anyone wants to take away what I gave my life for, I will chop off his head!
Lu Bu took a deep breath. Not good at pretending, he suppressed the sadness in his heart and looked at Lin Mo. This young man who understood him gave him an unprecedented sense of intimacy at this moment.
"In that case, why are you scorning him?"
"My father-in-law is unaware of something. The city of Xuzhou is troubled by internal and external troubles, powerful families are unwilling to follow, and generals are alienated. Lu Bu is unable to deal with these problems."
Lin Mo wiped the crowd and said with a smile: "The biggest problem is that he is too stubborn and can't listen to good advice. If I come under his command, even if I have good strategies, it will be difficult to succeed."
The above is my pretentious motto. The actual problem is that after helping him survive the Xuzhou crisis, my damn prophetic skills will no longer be used.
"I think you can." Lu Bu smiled.
"Is your father-in-law on good terms with Lu Bu?"
Second trial.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Bu finally shook his head.
Looking at this situation, he still has a bad opinion of himself, so he can't force it.
Looking back, I think it's a good thing that Lingqi didn't reveal her true identity, otherwise I might have missed out on an amazing talent.
Still a very interesting wizard.
"If you don't want to defect to Lu Bu, let's put this matter aside for now. Let's talk about your solution first."
Lin Mo didn't explain immediately, got up and walked into the house.
When he came out again, he held a brocade box in his arms.
There are some pastries inside, such as almond cake and osmanthus cake.
Lin Mo picked up a piece of pastry and when Lu Bu waved his hand to refuse, he threw it into his mouth.
Then, he took out a lot of pastries and placed them on the table.
There is no simpler way to explain this kind of military plan than a sand table deduction.
Xuchang, Xuzhou, Xiaopei, Huainan and Taishan County.
"What is Lu Bu's biggest problem now? Who knows his father-in-law?" Lin Mo raised his eyes and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "The family is powerful and powerful, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are eyeing it, the food and grass supplies are insufficient, and it is difficult to recruit troops..."
Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, "Not only that, there are many rifts among his subordinates, and Liu Bei is only a nominal ally. What's even more troublesome is that the Chen family actually loves Cao Cao, but Lu Bu didn't notice it.
As long as this battle is fought successfully, all the above problems will be easily solved.
That's why my son-in-law said that this was a great gift from Cao Cao to Lu Bu. "
Just breaking the situation is enough to give people a headache. Listening to your ideas can not only break the situation, but also help solve Xuzhou's internal problems. It's incredible...
Lu Bu couldn't help but move the lazy chair so that he could face Lin Mo.
"To put it simply, it's just eight words. Just follow the plan and ask you to put it in the urn."
Lin Mo looked at Lu Bu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Does your father-in-law know what Cao Cao's intention is in sending this letter to Lu Bu?"
"Of course we are plotting to seize Xuzhou." Lu Bu said without thinking.
"I thought, but this letter is not enough to help him get Xuzhou. He just hopes that Lu Bu can send troops to attack Peicheng. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, it will definitely break the situation where the Lu and Liu families are at odds with each other."
Indeed...
Lu Bu nodded with a surprised expression.
"Then, if you want to break the situation, you must bring Cao Jun to the battlefield." Lin Mo emphasized as he picked up the pastry that symbolized Xuchang.
"How to do it?"
"Does your father-in-law know what Cao Cao would most like to see?"
Lu Bu shook his head honestly, and Lin Mo continued with a smile: "What he would like most is that after the battle between the Lu and Liu families, Cao Jun suddenly appears and reaps the benefits."
Yes, yes, that's what I was thinking just now. Before I could say it, Lu Bu smiled silly.
"But because the two places are too far apart, he did not dare to send troops before the outcome of the matter. If the frontline battle report was sent back to Xuchang, it would be too late to make deployments, so he could only wait."
As Lin Mo's analysis deepened, Lu Bu listened with increasing interest and kept changing his sitting position.
"if..."
Lin Mo paused deliberately, twitching his lips, and said, "Lü Bu made it clear that he would send troops, but it will be delayed for a while. Guess, my father-in-law, can Cao Cao still be able to bear it?"
