One thousand gold can buy two high-quality war horses and a two-room courtyard in the inner city of Xuchang. It may not sound like much, but an ordinary family may not be able to use it all in a lifetime.
During the siege battle, as long as you shout loudly, the first one to climb will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and you can see the soldiers rushing up desperately.
What's more, Lin Mo really needs money right now.
Of course, Lin Mo didn't show any excitement or shame.
His eyes didn't even stop on the gold cake. He casually glanced aside and glanced at the ring on Zuo Rong's thumb. He immediately took it off and said with a shocked look on his face:
"Strange, isn't this Brother Yunwen's finger ring? When did it come into my hands? It's really unbelievable. Come on, Brother Xian, Brother Yu will bring it to you."
Ah this...
Are you so wise?
After saying that, he didn't forget to get closer and whisper: "This is the finger ring worn by King Chu Xiang back then."
It's really hard for me to reject you like this.
In order to make the atmosphere less awkward, Lin Mo looked at Chen Deng and changed the topic: "I heard that Brother Yuanlong also has dozens of war horses at home. Are there many high-quality war horses? I will visit your mansion tomorrow so I can take a look. , to be honest, I still don’t know how to differentiate between superior war horses and ordinary war horses.”
Before Chen Deng could speak, Zuo Rong said first:
"Brother Yunwen is lying. Don't you have three excellent war horses? Why don't you know the difference?"
"Where did I get the high-quality war horse?" Lin Mo looked confused. I wanted to buy it, but wouldn't it be enough money?
"Didn't you ask me to buy you three high-quality war horses? They are all being raised at my house in Xiapi now. Look at your memory. It's true that noble people forget things." Ze Rong always had the words "I understand you" on his face. laugh.
Even Chen Deng couldn't help but back away from his tactics. Prime Minister Zuo Daguo's public relations skills are really beyond boasting. He is so good at getting things done.
"Are you asking me to buy two concubines?" Zuo Rong was ready to make the fire burn brighter.
"This, it really doesn't happen, don't talk nonsense." Lin Mo waved his hands repeatedly.
He is not a gentleman, he simply cannot believe in Zuo Rong's aesthetics.
"Oh, I misremembered. Let me bring you a cup." After Zuo Rong replaced the wine with tea, he looked at Lin Mo seriously again. Even if he wanted the stars in the sky, he had to find a way to get them.
Lin Mo looked at the large and small bags that Zhe Rong brought, and then looked at the gold cakes on the table, as well as the King Chu Xiang's thumb ring in his hand, plus three high-quality war horses.
A lot, a lot, people can't be greedy.
"Brother Zuo, don't worry. When my father-in-law comes, he will definitely ask him to speak for you. But I can't guarantee whether Marquis Wen can agree." Lin Mo is a character who understands before arguing, so it's better to make it clear.
"If Yunwen opens his mouth, Lingweng will naturally do his best. I think this matter is stable." Chen Deng said with a smile.
"How about I feel so close to Brother Yunwen when I first saw him? The people in the Lin family are so nice to talk to. I really like the feeling here, it feels like I'm home."
With Lin Mo's approval, Zuo Rong let himself go completely, not mentioning licking every word, but licking every sentence.
Lin Mo, who had always despised the behavior of dog licking, finally couldn't bear the extra money and silently endured the loneliness of being licked.
He is an honest and honest Prime Minister, but Lin Yunwen is indifferent to money.
The two of them gradually lost themselves while changing cups and cups, so much so that Chen Deng, the introducer in the middle, couldn't get in the middle of the conversation.
After freeing himself from the shackles in his heart, Zuo Rong reluctantly left his idol because the sky was completely dark. He never forgot to say goodbye, "Let's have tea together when we have time, dear brother."
Within a few days, Lu Bu received the emperor's edict, and Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. The imperial court summoned all the princes in the world to gather in Qiao County, and sent troops south to wipe out the rebellious parties.
Because there had been a series of rumors in Huainan, no one in the council hall was surprised at all when they received the edict.
In fact, they have already made sufficient preparations.
"Reporting to Marquis Wen, all 200,000 stones of grain and grass have been transported to the Huailing front line!"
After Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhang Liao also stood up and said, "At present, our army has 43,000 troops, and 30,000 soldiers are all wearing armor. We have 200,000 arrows, and more than 10,000 ring-headed knives, spears, and strong bows for the soldiers to fight fiercely. March."
Even with the support of powerful local families, Lu Bu could not equip every sergeant with armor. This is the expense of raising soldiers, which is so huge that you can't even imagine it.
Furthermore, fighting a war is not just a matter of manpower equipped with a knife and a spear. These are all subject to wear and tear, and they need to be stocked up in order to fight continuously.
Therefore, every large-scale army expedition, especially the Stud type, requires time to deploy, which can be as short as half a month or as long as two or three months, depending on the number of people.
Those orders to attack tomorrow are simply impossible to do.
The deployment of food and grass, the replenishment and distribution of ordnance, and the ordering of sergeants all take time.
If it weren't for Lin Mo's presence, Lu Bu wouldn't have started preparing for these things so far in advance, and naturally he wouldn't have been able to take the initiative now.
Then Wei Yue stood up, cupped his hands and said: "There are currently 4,500 cavalrymen, all equipped with horseshoes, and they can make contributions to Marquis Wen at any time!"
Lu Bu, who was leaning back on the handsome chair, squinted his eyes and calculated that the maximum amount that could be used this time should be 30,000 infantry and 4,500 cavalry.
The remaining more than 10,000 people did not have enough equipment so they stayed behind. Moreover, spring plowing was coming soon, so they could also join in the work.
In other words, the actual combat strength deployed on the front line this time was 34,500, which was considered to be the peak of strength since the beginning of the war.
Lu Bu was still very satisfied with this.
In addition, Lu Su on the other side of Huainan is also progressing very smoothly. He was recruited by Yuan Shu as the five sense organs, and he has gained a firm foothold.
Everything seems to be under control.
"Okay, everyone, get ready. We may go south at any time." Lu Bu tapped his fingers easily on the table.
"I dare to ask Marquis Wen, what are you waiting for? Didn't Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor? He also waited for the imperial edict to punish thieves." Wei Yue was unable to participate in the last Peicheng sneak attack. This time, he is fully prepared for the big battle. Have a fight.
Lu Bu smiled slightly. He liked Wei Yue, especially the murderous Wei Yue.
In terms of martial arts, he is not as good as Zhang Liao, and in terms of military training, he is not as good as Gao Shun, but his desperate spirit is more fierce than anyone else.
Such people are needed in the military camp to stimulate morale at critical moments.
In the third year of Chuping, Lu Bu, together with Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, broke through Zhang Yan's army of ten thousand people with only a few dozen cavalry. They relied on this life-threatening energy.
"Chun Nan, there is no way to avoid Xuyi when entering Jiujiang from Xiapi. Now Xuyi has 30,000 troops stationed. Once our army leaves the city, they will be on guard. It's better to wait." Chen Gong explained directly.
"What are you waiting for?" Wei Yue was confused.
"When Cao Cao's army reaches the border, if Yuan Shu sees that we are indifferent, he will definitely mobilize the Xuyi defenders to go north to help in the battle. That will be our best opportunity."
Chen Gong's words were understood by all the generals including Wei Yue.
However, the eyes of admiration were cast on Lu Bu, because in the past, Lu Bu, like them, needed to rely on Chen Gong to interpret the battle situation before he could make a choice.
But now, he is calm and calm, and he has obviously made plans in this regard.
"Every unit returns to camp and waits for military orders!" Lu Bu waved his hand.
"Here!" After receiving the order, everyone left the council hall.
Lu Bu was in a good mood and was going to go home and change clothes before going to see Lin Mo.
Because he remembered something extremely important and needed Lin Mo's advice.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she met Lu Lingqi.
"Father, you are finally back."
"Are you waiting for me?" Lu Bu was a little curious.
"My daughter has something to ask her father..." Lu Lingqi lowered her head, unable to see her toes and not daring to look at Lu Bu.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it later." Lu Bu, who was in a hurry to see Lin Mo, didn't seem to want to teach this little cotton-padded jacket who often made him unhappy.
"It's about Lin Mo..."
Hearing this, Lu Bu finally stopped. After giving her a suspicious look, he walked to the stone platform and sat down. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
