He had always heard about the trapped camp, but Lin Mo had never seen it, so he planned to follow Lu Lingqi to see what the legendary super-class army was like, with 800 people able to trap Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the general's mansion, he saw Lu Bu coming back angrily, still cursing.
"Father, father-in-law." Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi said hello quickly.
Lu Bu didn't even stop, he just said yes and went straight into the house.
Strangely, who had offended him, the nominal couple looked at each other.
"How about you go to the military camp to make arrangements first, and then I can go in and take a look?"
Lu Lingqi nodded and agreed with Lin Mo's proposal.
After turning around and going back in, Lin Mo heard Lu Bu's curses from a distance away.
"Old guy, how dare you look down on me? If people in Lujiang hadn't been upset right now, I would have smashed his head!"
Lu Bu paced back and forth under the pavilion in the courtyard, his teeth itching with hatred.
Old thing?
Lin Mo walked over in confusion, "Who has offended my father-in-law?"
Lu Bu seemed to have found someone to vent his anger to. He pointed at the air and cursed: "That old master from the Qiao family, he thinks I'm just trying to curry favor with him. I'm just here to promote him. I don't know what's good or bad!"
Ah this...
You've already gone to Qiao's house, why didn't you take me with you?
Lin Mo felt that he had missed the opportunity to see beautiful women.
Lu Bu didn't notice the disappointment on Lin Mo's face, and still said to himself: "Didn't you just look at his two daughters one more time and immediately tell me what a gentleman's etiquette is? What, implying that I don't understand etiquette?
Or does he want to call me a border refugee like Zuo Rong? How dare he! "
It turned out that he was disliked for peeking at someone else's daughter.
Sure enough, even if Lujiang was captured, the sons of these aristocratic families did not even think highly of Lu Bu. People in this era paid special attention to being well-matched.
And being well-matched requires not only your current status, but also your ancestors.
Therefore, being from a humble background in the Nine Plains allowed these people to show off their sense of superiority in front of Lu Bu as they should.
But...my good father-in-law, you shouldn't just take a second look. Lin Mo asked curiously: "Are his two daughters beautiful?"
Discussing beauties is always a common hobby for men.
As expected, Lu Bu forgot about being looked down upon by Duke Qiao, and said with a serious face: "It's not a question of whether they are pretty or not, they are really that kind, that rare kind, with eyes like mung beans..."
Well...
Lu Bu felt that this kind of matter could be discussed with Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, or even Gao Shun, but he should not discuss it with his son-in-law. I don’t want to have the persona of my majestic father-in-law anymore? He immediately waved his hand and said, "I didn't even look at it seriously."
Lin Mo looked at him and wanted to laugh, but didn't dare for fear of getting beaten.
Phew~
Finally, he couldn't hold it back and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo coldly.
"I remember happy things..."
Lin Mo was a little frightened by the stares, and he had to hold back his blush. He moistened his throat and quickly changed the subject, "Then what are you going to do next, your father-in-law? Wait for Ziyang to come back?"
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Even if Ziyang comes back, I won't go to Qiao's house. Old man, just wait, I will make it impossible for his two daughters to get married."
"What does your father-in-law want to do? Don't you want to let others get married? It would be very unpleasant if this matter spreads."
"I'm not that stupid."
A wicked smile appeared on Lu Bu's lips, "When the Qiao family does something good, let your brothers pretend to be bandits and rob it for them!"
Kukuru~
This time I really couldn't hold it back, Lin Mo laughed and laughed.
No wonder Chen Gong always said that Lu Bu would act like a child every time he was angry. This kind of idea is also conceivable.
Moreover, Lin Mo did not doubt that he really dared to do this.
"You bullied me too much. I have tolerated it for a long time!" Lu Bu glared.
"I remember happy things..."
"You were clearly laughing at me, and you never stopped!"
Too bad, he saw through it.
Just as Lin Mo was about to explain something, Lu Su ran in holding a piece of silk cloth.
"Marquis Wen, everything is ready. Here is the gift list. Please take a look at it." Lu Bu then put away his anger, rolled his eyes at Lin Mo, and looked at the gift list carefully.
After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Mo glanced at the gift list and his eyes immediately went straight.
Ten thousand pieces of gold, one thousand pieces of silk, thirty thousand stones of rice and millet, two thousand stones of salt, eight hundred pieces of jade...
Hey, good guy, this is not a gift list at all. It is almost as fast as the small affiliated country paying tribute.
"Who are you preparing such a big deal for?" Have you forgotten how poor you are? Lin Mo is a little depressed. He has to spend a lot of money to get money for the arsenal. How can you let go of this waste? .
"It's for Uncle Zhi. We agreed back then that we should never forget each other as long as we live in wealth and status. Now I own Xuzhou and Huainan anyway. This little thing is nothing."
Uncle Zhi...
Zhang Yang, Uncle Zhang Zhi?
"Why, Hanoi is considered a wealthy place, is he so poor?"
"It has nothing to do with this. I took the initiative to give it to him."
Lu Bu shook his head, looked at the north and sighed, his eyes filled with unbearable memories.
"Uncle Zhi is my dead brother. Without him, I might have died several times.
In the fourth year of Chuping, two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, drove me to death. At that time, I wanted to surrender to Yuan Shu but was unable to do so.
In the first year of Xingping, Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan started a war in the Taihang Mountains and invited me to join the camp to help in the battle. I went and took Chu Nan and Wen Yuan with them to kill all the Black Mountain bandits. As a result, Yuan Shao crossed the river and demolished the bridge. The small town refused to allow me to garrison troops, and even sent troops to hunt me down.
Uncle Zhi saved me again..."
Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you always say that kindness will be remembered for thousands of years? Uncle Zhi treats me like this, and now I give him some money, food and silk, what does it mean?"
Lin Mo nodded, this is the truth.
Zhang Yang was just a prefect of Hanoi. He openly offended the Yuan brothers and Li Jue and Guo Si for the sake of Lu Bu. In terms of geographical location, he offended everyone from the southeast to the northwest.
In history, he not only saved Lu Bu twice. When Cao Cao's troops surrounded Xuzhou, he wanted to save him a third time, but he lost his life because of it.
It is never an exaggeration to say that Zhang Yang is affectionate and righteous towards Lu Bu.
On this point, he cannot be allowed to be drowned by the torrent of history.
What's more, in the game against Cao Cao, Zhang Yang plays a decisive role.
Not only must we save him, we must also take advantage of this opportunity to make follow-up arrangements.
"It is understandable that the father-in-law cares about his old friend, but if these gifts really enter Hanoi, they may bring death to Governor Zhang."
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly focused, and a fierce murderous intent instantly filled the air, "Speak clearly!"
"In the battle of Ku County, Cao Cao lost his troops and generals and wasted food and grass, but it was his father-in-law who benefited."
Lin Mo squinted his eyes and analyzed carefully, "With the acquisition of Lujiang, Lord Yue-Zhang has begun to gain momentum and can compete with Cao Cao. At this time, he must be holding back his energy to attack us. He just needs to wait for the right opportunity."
Lu Bu nodded slowly. He knew these things. Lin Mo and Lu Su had always reminded him.
Immediately, Lin Mo changed the topic and asked: "What will happen if Cao Cao finds out about these gifts? In order to be able to deal with us with peace of mind, he will definitely solve the worries of Governor Zhang first."
Makes sense...
Lu Bu frowned and paced back and forth. Cao Cao may not remember all those things in his early years, but if I send this gift, it will remind Cao Cao.
"Moreover, there are people from Cao Cao around Prefect Zhang. If we don't get rid of them, we will suffer from them."
"who?"
Lin Mo wanted to talk about Yang Chou. Historically, Zhang Yang was killed by Yang Chou when his troops left Dongshi, and they all defected to Cao Cao in the end.
But then I think about it, who can guarantee that there is only Yang Chou beside Zhang Yang?
We have to find a way to catch all these people.
"Yunwen?" Lu Bu shouted when Lin Mo didn't respond.
Lin Mo pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I wrote for my father-in-law and wrote a letter to Prefect Zhang to help him get rid of the traitors around him."
Lu Bu immediately waved his hand and asked his servants to bring them the Four Treasures of the Study.
After writing vigorously, Lu Bu got a clue.
Previously, Lu Bu was still full of doubts. He wanted to know who the traitor Lin Mo was talking about, and how he knew the identity of this person. What if he made a mistake, and Uncle Zhi would get into trouble.
After reading this letter, he knew that there was no need to ask anymore.
This method had already been used in Pengcheng to clean out the Chen family.
It's really useful.
He carefully put away the silk cloth and put it under his clothes. He put his hands behind his back and sighed: "I don't know when and what month I can have a drink with Uncle Zhi."
