The next work becomes very simple. Just wait until the rain has passed and the weather will clear to directly receive the prisoners.
With the victory already decided, Lu Bu didn't even wait for Liu Xun's letter of surrender and directly held a celebration banquet.
The scale of the celebration banquet is generally particular. After a victory, those above the rank of captain and those directly involved in the battle will have the first-class banquet. The captains and commanders will have the second-class banquet. The rest will participate in the third-class banquet depending on their military contribution.
This time, because of Lin Mo's design, only a thousand cavalry actually participated in the battle against an enemy of 20,000 people. It can be said to be the least attended celebration banquet in history.
However, Lu Bu was very magnanimous and claimed that because of Lin Mo's plan, the soldiers had no chance to use it despite holding back their strength. The standards would be changed. The first-class banquet standards would not change, and the rest would celebrate as a second-class banquet. This is In a disguised way, they all remembered Lin Mo's kindness.
"Yunwen, I didn't realize it until yesterday when the river embankment was dug up and the flood washed away Liu Xun's camp. You did a great job. It was me who was stupid before. This cup is my apology to you!"
At the banquet in the Chinese army's tent, Wei Yue came to Lin Mo with a wine jar in one hand and a wine bowl in the other. He grinned and said, "To be honest, I never thought that people could be so calculating in war. It's true." Marquis Wen is a wonderful son-in-law."
Lin Mo picked up the wine bowl and stood up. Before he could speak, Zang Ba and Sun Guan also came over, "My uncle is so talented and well versed in the art of war. It is an eye-opener for us. I would like to take advantage of your celebration today." I’d like to toast you a glass of wine, but if there are military orders from now on, we won’t dare to doubt you!”
I am still young and I will rely on your guidance in the future, which is a humble statement.
Of course, Lin Mo didn't want to loudly shout in front of them: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully the young man's words, but today is indeed an opportunity to establish his authority.
As the territory expands, he will have to take charge of his own business sooner or later. Without a little skill, he may not be able to suppress this group of people.
When it comes to showing off, Liang Zi’s skills are quite high, and she immediately decided to learn a lesson: “I know the art of war well but I dare not say it, but those who fight have both visible and invisible weapons.
Visible soldiers include the sword, halberd, and physical warriors; invisible soldiers include the sun, moon, stars, wind, cloud, water, fire, the aura of mountains and rivers, and all things and phenomena can be used as soldiers.
This time I used this invisible force to defeat Liu Xun, but I can't even talk about the word "deep penetration". "
Visible soldiers, this is what they can understand.
But this is the first time I heard about this invisible soldier, the sun, moon, stars, wind, cloud, water and fire...
This remark was unheard of, and upon closer inspection, I felt that this was not what Lin Mo used.
It’s really unfathomable.
Several people had solemn expressions on their faces, and their eyes showed respect and admiration.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Wen's martial arts skills were unparalleled in the world, and when he found a son-in-law, his strategy was astonishing. With such a combination of martial arts and martial arts, it was really difficult for him to find an opponent.
That's it, people, when you succeed, everything you say is right.
After everyone drank the drink, Lu Bu stood up from the handsome chair, walked over, pressed Lin Mo's shoulder with one hand, and said solemnly:
"Yunwen is not what I am today. Without his assistance, I would not be able to retreat from Cao's army or advance into Shouchun. At the same time, he is Ling'er's wishful husband and my son-in-law who can ride on the dragon. From now on, I will hope that you will be the leader in our army." Remember my words."
"The general will obey it."
Lu Bu may be an amateur when it comes to overlooking the overall situation and calculating people's hearts, but he has his own way of establishing power for Lin Mo in this military camp.
After a few people returned to their seats, Gao Shun, who had been silent all this time, finally came up to him slowly. He was holding a tea cup and raised it in front of Lin Mo, "Yunwen, I have only served one person in my life, and he has been on the battlefield thousands of times. Marquis Wen, who comes and goes freely among the troops; now it seems that you are the second one, I offer you tea instead of wine."
Gao Shun has always been dissatisfied with Lin Mo because he lost the cavalry in two battles but failed to maximize the profits. The death of those cavalry was not worth it.
Looking back now, how many fewer people died in the entire army due to the layout of all this?
No matter how weak Liu Xun is, he only has 20,000 troops. Can he break through with two or three thousand men without dying?
It can be said that Lin Mo saved the lives of thousands of brothers with one plan. Based on this, he was convinced.
Lu Bu nodded with a smile and added: "This is true, he doesn't even accept Wen Yuan."
Gao Shun has always been one of Lin Mo's favorite generals before time travel.
Loyal, able to lead troops, not drinking, and strict military discipline, any of these are enough to make a military commander deeply loved by his master, not to mention that he can do all four in one person.
He also put away his previous playfulness and said solemnly: "Master Yuezhang often told me that General Gao led his troops well and blocked the rear of the army. During the Battle of Puyang, if the general had not fought tooth and nail to block the pursuers, the army would have been in danger. .”
Gao Shun, whose face was paralyzed, raised the corners of his mouth in a rare move and nodded. His eyes did not hide his admiration for Lin Mo, and he drank the tea cup in one gulp.
That night, everyone in the Chinese army's tent, except Gao Shun, was carried back.
Lin Mo was completely drunk,
Two days later, Liu Xun's letter of surrender was finally received.
After Lin Mo's reminder, Lu Bu did not appear arrogant in front of Liu Xun. Instead, he showed an attitude of not wanting to meet Liu Xun until late and dragged him into the tent to drink.
I even said respectfully, "It's really not my personal idea to beat you. There is nothing I can do about it. The imperial court has an imperial edict saying that you are rebelling against the party by agreeing with Yuan Shu and proclaiming himself emperor. In fact, how could I not know that you, Governor Liu, are a benevolent gentleman."
This really confused Liu Xun. Didn't they say that the border refugees didn't understand etiquette? Why did he win the battle as if he was suing for peace? Lu Bu was chosen among the people.
The two drank until late at night before someone helped Liu Xun to rest.
"Is it necessary to treat him like this?" Lu Bu felt that what he just said was too disgusting, and he felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
"My father-in-law, haven't you always been curious about why others are more willing to defect to Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"
Lin Mo said with a smile: "In addition to their outstanding reputation, their facial skills are also first-class. If you treat Liu Xun so kindly today, the 20,000 troops under his command will think that if Marquis Wen can treat Liu Xun so kindly, Treating us so kindly is worth our efforts.”
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, this was something he didn't expect.
In the past, when recruiting prisoners to surrender, sometimes they would be worried about surrendering and refuse to surrender, so they could only abandon it and use Liu Xun as a show for them. How clever.
"Of course, the most important thing is to show it to Liu Ye and everyone in the world."
"Liu Ye..."
Lu Bu looked at him intently: "Liu Xun's staff?"
He is not as simple as an aide. Lin Moqian laughed twice and said: "Liu Bei claims to be the emperor's uncle after Prince Jing of Zhongshan, which makes the world's scholars look at him with suspicion. Does your father-in-law know who Liu Ye is? He is Emperor Guangwu. After that, in terms of status, he was much more noble than Liu Bei."
There was something like this. Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and became interested immediately.
When princes from all walks of life recruit scholars, the extent to which they can do so mainly depends on two aspects. The first is influence. For example, Xun Yu was a very influential figure in Yingchuan; the second is talent, which is mostly I heard it came back.
Liu Ye possesses the gold-lettered signboard after Guangwu, which is very popular. Lu Bu knows that holding him in his hand is equivalent to plating the gold-lettered banner with the word "Lü".
Winning him alone is equivalent to winning the imperial court's golden medal.
"Then why should I accompany Liu Xun? I should accompany Liu Ye." Lu Bu was a little anxious.
"That's not necessary, Zijing has already gone."
Lin Mo raised his hand to block Lu Bu who was about to leave the tent, and said calmly: "He and Liu Ye are old friends, so we will be more confident."
Hearing this, Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From this point of view, half of the reason why I accompanied Liu Xun tonight was to win over Liu Ye. Going to see him directly gave people the impression that I was too purposeful.
Yunwen's arrangements are still appropriate.
"If Zijing fails, I will invite him out of the mountain even if I come to invite him in person."
Lu Bu showed his determination not to give up until things were done, "Now that Jiujiang is in hand, Lujiang is also in hand, but Yuan Shu is still alive, and the wealthy families in Yangzhou are all waiting and watching. We really need someone who can unite people's hearts to stand up."
Lin Mo agreed with Lu Bu's view.
Winning Liu Ye alone was equivalent to gaining the support of half of the descendants of aristocratic families in Huainan.
Of course, he can be considered a very strategic person, but compared with Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xu Shu, there is still a gap.
At least, Lin Mo did value his influence after Guangwu more than his talent.
Under Lu Bu's command, there is a great shortage of someone like him who can shoulder the responsibility.
