"Of course he can't help it. He will definitely send fast horses to the front line, waiting for Lu Bu and Liu Bei to decide the winner, and then capture them all!"
Lu Bu frowned, showing a hint of bitterness, "The question is, how can we tell Cao Cao in advance what day in the evening Lu Bu will send troops?"
This plan should be to use a time difference to catch Cao Cao.
But Lu Bu couldn't figure out how to cause the time difference.
"This is not simple. As long as Lu Bu convenes a civil and military meeting and explicitly orders an attack on Liu, but due to food and grass restrictions, the date of dispatching the troops will be postponed for a few days. Someone will naturally pass the news to Cao Cao."
"who?"
This sentence was obviously saying that there were collaborators in Xuzhou City. Lu Bu could not suppress the anger in his heart, clenching his teeth and protruding his jaw.
"Why are the powerful families in Xuzhou unwilling to rely on Lu Bu?"
Facing Lin Mo's rhetorical question, Lu Bu was stunned and silent.
Yes, some of them must have their hearts set on Cao Cao.
As long as he finalizes the attack on Liu in front of Chen Deng, the powerful families will receive the news within a day.
How could someone who wanted to curry favor with Cao Cao miss such a God-given opportunity?
However, this is no longer important.
Because Lin Mo had analyzed it to this extent, Lu Bu's plan was completely clear in his heart.
"I understand what you mean. It's called dealing with Liu Bei, but it's actually waiting for Cao's army to enter the urn."
Lu Bu raised the last question, "The only unreasonable thing is that if Liu Bei takes the initiative during this process, wouldn't Lu Bu have to be involved in a two-pronged battle?"
"Won't."
Lin Mo firmly picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake representing Xiaopei and waved it in front of Lu Bu, "As long as Lu Bu comes to Peicheng and takes out the secret letter of collaboration with the enemy and accuses Liu Bei, he will definitely not leave the city.
Because once he leaves the city, it is equivalent to admitting that he is connected with Cao; secondly, if he really has another letter in his hand, he will immediately understand that this must be designed by Cao Cao or Yuan Shu.
No matter what the situation was, he preferred to stay in Peicheng and not come out. "
Under Lin Mo's well-founded explanation, Lu Bu suddenly realized that this boy was really not just talking nonsense. He had designed everything from the beginning, which was amazing.
A quarter of an hour ago, he felt that Cao Cao's plan was shocking. Not to mention Chen Gong and Chen Deng, even if they tied up all the wise men in Xuzhou, they might not be able to think of a way to break the situation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mo not only brilliantly disrupted Cao Cao's conspiracy, but also took advantage of him.
"Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect you to have such a palace and strategy at such a young age. In the past, Han Xing's soldiers may not have been able to do this. What a good means and a good calculation!"
Lu Bu, who was accustomed to hearing flattery and flattery, would inevitably feel a little proud in his heart, and he rarely praised others.
But at this moment, he felt that no words of praise could be used too much on Lin Mo.
Not only because he solved the dead situation for himself and turned the tide.
Even more because he is his future son-in-law!
I have a virtuous son-in-law, Lin Mo, so why should I be afraid of mere thieves?
Previously, he was a little annoyed that his daughter was spoiled by him and had too strong personality. Even if she did not choose the Yuan family, she had to be from a powerful family to be worthy of her. In the end, he chose a lowly refugee.
Now, he just wants to say to Lu Lingqi that she is a good judge of people.
"So, my son-in-law has passed the test of my father-in-law?"
Lu Bu didn't answer and stood up slowly.
The sunlight behind him shone on the burly body like a city wall, making Lin Mo unable to see his expression clearly.
"Yunwen, I've approved your marriage."
Probably, Lin Mo hadn't realized what the sonless Lu Bu meant by these words. He only knew that he could escape Xuzhou as soon as possible, so he smiled and bowed:
"Thank you, my father-in-law! I wonder when your father-in-law will leave for Wen County?"
"Not urgent."
Lu Bu, who sat down again, waved his hand, "I still have some things to do in Xuzhou, but you can rest assured. I am familiar with Lu Wentao. Even if Cao Jun invades, hiding in the Lu family can maintain peace." .”
Lin Mo was completely relieved now.
Cao Cao did know how to massacre the city, but the people he massacred were refugees and untouchables, and he would not go to the homes of powerful families to kill people.
"By the way, in your opinion, among the powerful families in Xuzhou, who is most likely to succeed?"
Lu Bu relaxed himself as much as possible, as if chatting, without even looking at Lin Mo.
"Chen family, there is no doubt about it."
Chen Deng?
Lu Bu did not rule out this possibility.
"If you go by what you just deduced, after defeating Cao Cao, you can go back and deal with the Chen family. As long as the Chen family is punished for collaborating with the enemy, other powerful families will definitely defect to Lu Bu. It's really wonderful."
After the stone hanging in his heart was put down, Lu Bu felt relaxed and said with his legs crossed.
"No."
Lin Mo shook his head and sighed: "Actually, the Chen family's approach is not wrong at all because they are in different places. He just wants to choose the master in his heart and find a future for the Chen family.
You must know that there is more than one powerful family in Xuzhou who wants to join Cao Cao. Lu Bu can't kill them all. "
Lu Bu frowned and said nothing. He knew that Lin Mo was telling the truth.
In fact, Chen Gong also said this. The reason why they have always been inconsistent with themselves is simply to stabilize themselves first and then join Cao Cao after finding a suitable opportunity.
"so..."
Lin Mo raised his head and said, "The wisest thing to do is to hold on to the evidence of the Chen family's crime of collaborating with the enemy but to be open-minded. This not only tells the Chen family that Lu Bu can deal with them at any time if he wants, but it also cuts off the Chen family's desire to continue to surrender to Cao." think.
The most important thing is that if Lu Bu does this, his bad reputation in the past will be remedied to a certain extent.
The wealthy and powerful people in the aristocratic families will think that Lu Bu is really a ambitious hero, and maybe it is right to join him. After the incident spreads, it will not only be Xuzhou, but also the powerful and powerful families in other prefectures and counties will be ready to take action. "
It was amazing. His gaze looked far enough, and Lu Bu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
According to his character, if it is confirmed that the Chen family is really connected to Cao Cao, he will not be able to get out of this bad mood without killing everyone in his family.
After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, he realized that what's the point of winning a momentary battle of emotions? Getting the maximum benefit is what a smart person does.
When the time comes, the Lu family, Zhang family, Zhao family, and Zeo family will not surrender obediently?
For a while, Lu Bu felt that Xuzhou was simply a hot potato. In addition to gaining a large number of common people, it also attracted the covetousness of the two powerful forces of Cao and Yuan.
After today, he was shocked by Lin Mo's words, and he had a clear idea.
It turns out that it’s not that I can’t use all this, it’s that I don’t know how to use it.
No wonder he said that this battle can solve all these problems at once. From the beginning of the battle, to dealing with it in the middle, and then to gathering the family at the end, he actually planned it all. He is really a monster boy.
Lu Bu even felt grateful to God for no reason, otherwise how could he have met such a monster boy...
No, I should be grateful to my sensible daughter for finding a good husband.
"Yunwen, it's almost time. I also made an appointment with Lu Wentao for a drink. If you still need anything in this house, you can tell me."
After having a clear direction and goal, Lu Bu was full of enthusiasm and energy. He immediately got up and prepared to go back and make plans.
"My lord-in-law, there is no shortage of other things. However, since my lord-in-law is so good with the Lu family, could you introduce Lu Zijing to me? I have some things I want him to help with."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Bu nodded, "This is easy to handle. I will ask Lu Zijing to come over tomorrow. He is quite heroic. You young people might as well get closer."
Although the Lu family refused to enter the scene, they would still obey this small request honestly. Lu Bu was very confident in this.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
After bidding farewell to Lu Bu, Lin Mo returned to the osmanthus tree and took out several pieces of silk cloth from his arms.
The records above are all small inventions, such as wine making, steel making, soap, perfume and so on.
After selecting for a while, Lin Mo took out one of the silk cloths and murmured to himself: "In this era, there are already saddles and stirrups, but there are no horseshoes yet. Making some horseshoes is very practical."
When he just traveled through time, Lin Mo was ambitious and confident.
I thought that even if I didn't have the prophetic skills, I would be able to live a lifetime of carefree with these inventions.
Later, he finally realized that this idea was a bit stupid.
Regardless of any invention, your sales target cannot be the common people. The reason is very simple. It is very difficult for most common people to make ends meet. How can they have the money to buy soaps and perfumes?
Green salt and iron smelting are not as simple as I thought. During the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron were monopolized by the imperial court, which triggered a battle for profit between aristocratic families and the imperial court for nearly a hundred years.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there was no explicit intention to lift the monopoly, the aristocratic families had already extended their hands to the salt and iron business, and the court mostly turned a blind eye.
But that is a noble family, and it is not a business that you, a time-traveler with a humble status, can touch.
It can even be said that any invention or business that wants to make long-term profits cannot do it without the backing of a strong family or princes.
Lin Mo's original plan was to defect to Cao Cao, make some achievements, and then contribute these inventions, at least he would not be exploited too miserably.
Now, we can try to borrow the power of the Lu family.
No matter what, first make some money and hire some capable guards. Even if something goes wrong with the father-in-law who doesn't like to go home, he won't be reduced to meat on the chopping board.
