"You know Yunwen, for a long time I was very afraid of Cao Cao's invasion, because he has more soldiers and horses than me, and he has the support of many powerful families behind him. The most important thing is that he has endless conspiracies and schemes, and the government is also Helpless.
Until I met you, I knew that my chance to compete with Cao Cao had come.
After receiving Ling'er's express report, I galloped nine hundred miles in two days, just because I was afraid that you kid would run away.
I was standing here waiting for you just now. I thought at that time, if you really left, it might be me, Lu Bu, who died from heaven. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking in one breath, his face showed a relaxed look, and he smiled with a bit of excitement: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Take a good look, this is Xiaoguan, if Cao Jun comes to invade, he must Take Xiaoguan because it guards Cao's army's food route."
After that, he pulled Lin Mo to the front of the city, pointed into the distance and asked, "Do you know why I let you stand here and watch? Because this Xiaoguan is not only mine, but also yours."
So you need to understand everything here. I am not as good as you in strategizing, but I also understand that those who use the army should know the location and have a good understanding of everything here. It belongs to our son-in-law. "
Lu Bu was indeed very excited, and didn't care that Lin Mo didn't say a word from beginning to end, just talking to himself.
Probably, at this moment, he was really ambitious.
Lin Mo sighed and said sadly: "Master-in-law, I think I should make it clear to you about something."
"explain."
"You said you were afraid of Cao Cao before. In fact, you are right. The strength of Cao Cao's army has not yet been revealed. Regardless of the soldiers and horses, his counselors Guo Jia, Xun You and others are all geniuses in the world. I...are very big Probably not their match.”
To be fair, without the prophetic skill, Lin Mo didn't seem to have any advantage other than relying on his understanding of their military habits in his previous life.
It's really a matter of playing with your brains, which one is the most fuel-efficient lamp.
This is not to pour cold water on him, but I hope Lu Bu can stay awake at all times and not make himself too mythical.
After all, from now on, we are family members who advance and retreat together, and share honor and disgrace.
Some character flaws must be brought out when they need to be corrected.
Lin Mo's warning was also a shot in the arm.
It's good to stay, but the only worry is that Lu Bu relies too much on himself, and he really feels that he has no plan left, but he looks down on Cao Cao.
The principle that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
Lu Bu smiled at first, and then slowly closed his eyes. He saw Cao Cao leading thousands of troops to attack Xiaoguan, and he also saw the disdain of the princes in the world for him.
In the eyes of the princes of the world, this was a battle without any suspense. Lin Mo made suggestions from behind while he galloped and killed on the front line, deducing an ending that shocked the princes.
Lu Bu, who had fought against him many times, certainly understood how powerful Cao Cao was, but as long as Lin Mo was by his side, he would have this inexplicable confidence.
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north; the dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword is like frost, the Yellow River is vast in my mind, who can resist in twenty years..."
Ah this...
Lu Bu has a rather rough voice, and his singing seems to be pretty good.
"I like this song. How do you sing the second half?"
After a while, seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to want to teach, Lu Bu put his hand on his shoulder and said proudly: "If you can sing such a song, you must have such domineering power. Who can compete with him in twenty years?" ! What a great lyric."
Later, Su Rong said: "Actually, I have never underestimated Cao Cao, and I dare not underestimate him. It's just that he looks down on me. Don't worry."
Hearing Lu Bu say this, Lin Mo really relaxed a lot.
"By the way, my father-in-law, now that I know your identity, my son-in-law does have a lot to tell you, including our future direction, the Cao Cao we will face in the near future, and the allies who are not afraid of Cao Cao... "
Before Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. There's plenty of time. It's getting dark. Follow me back to Pengcheng first."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is true that from a person behind the scenes to a counselor who needs to control several counties and deploy against the powerful enemy Cao Cao, these words are really not finished in a short time.
The three of them rode their horses out of Xiaoguan and walked slowly towards Pengcheng.
Perhaps the mood of the three of them was much more relaxed than before.
"By the way, I have something to tell you clearly." Lu Bu suddenly spoke on the way.
"Master-in-law, please speak."
"The fact that I was mistakenly recognized by you when I entered the Lin Mansion that day is a coincidence, and it can also be regarded as my blessing."
Lu Bu held the reins in one hand and the halberd in the other, and said in a deep voice: "Later, after the situation was understood, I also sent someone to Wen County to inquire for you."
Wen County?
Yes, in theory, I really do have a father-in-law.
"How is the situation?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"The person your father saved back then was not named Zhang Xing, but Zhang Wang. Now he is the magistrate of Wen County, and the person you are related to is his eldest daughter. But last year, his eldest daughter contracted a sudden illness and passed away."
Lu Bu frowned in confusion, "There are unwritten rules. This kind of marriage refers to repaying gratitude. If the eldest daughter dies, the second daughter should be married. But his second daughter is only eight years old this year, and your father is deceased, so I thought about it. Give it up."
Zhang Wang?
It’s not surprising that he used a fake name. In times of turmoil, it’s normal to use a fake name to save your life.
It is normal for people to feel ready to call off the marriage after the tea has cooled.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Since I have chosen to stay in Xuzhou, it is impossible for me to go to Wen County again." Lin Mo curled his lips.
"I'm telling you this just because I don't want you to have any bond in your heart." Lu Bu said and fell silent.
Lin Mo didn't seem to have much feeling about this matter.
It doesn't matter whether it's Zhang Xing or Zhang Wang.
Because there is no need for him to promote filial piety and integrity to serve as an official and go to Cao Cao.
Marrying an eight-year-old girl is really not a fantasy in this era. Many marriages are based on fingertips, but Lin Mo is not from this era after all, so he cannot accept it.
When he returned to Pengcheng, the city gate had been closed. At this time, he could not get in with the household registration card in his hand. This was why Xu Sheng urged Lin Mo to rush to Lucheng before dark.
The curfew time in the inner city will be later, and the gates in the outer city will be closed as soon as it gets dark. Let alone ordinary untouchables, even sergeants cannot enter without a military order.
But following Lu Bu, this problem naturally disappeared. The city guard sergeant greeted the three people respectfully.
This was the first time that Lin Mo felt that the halo following a big shot was really useful.
After entering the city, Lu Bu did not return home, but chose to send Lin Mo back.
Before his identity was disclosed, walking on the street during the curfew was easily captured by the night patrol sergeants. Lu Bu patiently accompanied him to the door of the Lin Mansion.
"Okay, I'm tired too. I've been very tired these past two days."
Lu Bu twisted his aching neck and made a clicking sound, "Have a good rest tonight, and come with me to Yangzhou tomorrow."
"So urgent?" Lin Mo frowned.
Lu Bu glanced at him with a tired expression, "There are still many things on the other side of Jiujiang that I need to deal with. I can't leave for too long, and... forget it, I'll talk to you in detail on the road tomorrow. Just prepare."
"My son-in-law, I send you my father-in-law." After bidding farewell to Lu Bu and returning home, Lin Mo felt as if he was in another world.
It's like a lifetime ago...
Lin Mo smiled knowingly, and he understood that this feeling was not without reason.
Before leaving, he was just a humble peasant who wanted to be recommended by his father-in-law to find a job under Cao Cao.
When he came back, he was already the son-in-law of Wen Hou Lu Bu.
Or as he said, half the owner of this city.
Such thoughts made Lin Mo very motivated, and his mind flashed to the famous generals and counselors who were in the opposition during this period, or who might be drawn over.
Next, I will be very busy...
