Zhang Xiu is known as the Spear King of the North and ranks 20th among the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms. His attainments in marksmanship are certainly not weak.
He was able to fight from Guanzhong to Nanyang and defeat Cao Cao's enemies. His combat qualities and experience in commanding troops are second to none.
Since ancient times, Xiliang has produced warriors who dare to fight. Now he only has a few thousand remaining soldiers under his command, but the fighting strength of these thousands of people cannot be underestimated.
Of course, these are secondary to the people hiding behind Zhang Xiu.
As a poisonous warrior who is at the top level of counselors in the Three Kingdoms, he can be said to have calculated people's hearts to the extreme.
If Jia Xu joins, Lu Bu's hard power can definitely be improved to a higher level.
The decline of the other also weakened Cao Cao's power.
This is Lin Mo's idea.
Regarding this deal that was not a loss no matter what, Lu Bu, who had no idea that Zhang Xiu would return to Cao Cao if not interfered with in the future, just sneered, "My temple is too small to accommodate the general of Xiliang. "
Lin Mo had a black hair, and before he could speak, Lu Bu seemed to feel that it was not enough, and snorted coldly: "Not only Zhang Xiu, but also an old man like Jia Xu!
It was he who gave Li Jue and Guo Si the plan to counterattack Chang'an, and drove me out of the capital, and I fled to the end of the world. It is difficult for me to guarantee that I will not be able to chop him up when we meet again. "
My father-in-law, you really don’t reflect on your own problems.
Lin Mo shook his head and sighed: "Why don't your father-in-law think about it the other way around? After getting advice from Jia Xu, ordinary men like Li Jue and Guo Si were able to occupy important areas in the capital. This shows how talented Jia Wenhe is." Remarkable?"
This... Lu Bu looked sideways at Lin Mo, I didn't seem to have thought about the problem in this way.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems right.
Lu Bu didn't like Jia Xu. Although he didn't feel sorry for himself and his brothers from Bingzhou when he worked under Dong Zhuo in the past, he was also from Liangzhou. This fact made Lu Bu associate him with Li Jue and Guo Si in his heart. equal sign.
However, Lin Mo's words did shake him a bit.
This guy does have something, otherwise people like Li Ru with eyes and a head wouldn't respect him so much.
"Master-in-law, as our foundation grows, we need to recruit the best talents from all over the world to help us. Otherwise, how can we stabilize the land under our feet?"
Lin Mo didn't care that there were outsiders present, and he had to convince Lu Bu today, "Don't say that Zhang Xiu only offended his father-in-law in the past, even Li Jue and Guo Si, who had hunted and killed his father-in-law, can win over him if necessary!
Faced with Guan Zhong who almost killed him, Duke Huan of Qi still worshiped him as the prime minister of the country. In the end, he was able to overpower Qi Tuba and unite the nine princes.
Compared with Duke Huan of Qi, the shame of my father-in-law is far behind. "
Lin Mo's voice was impactful and thought-provoking.
Especially when compared with Duke Huan of Qi, it hit Lu Bu's heartstrings so much that Gao Shun, who was paralyzed on the side, couldn't help but praise: "What a courage and a great mind! Please accept Yunwen's words, Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu let out a breath, leaned on the handsome chair and looked at the wooden dome.
In fact, Lu Bu has never had any ambitions, or rather he dared not have them.
In these years, I have either been on the run or on the road to escape. I have been chased by Li Jue, Guo Si, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. If I have any lofty ambitions, I hope to one day step on the heads of these people and proudly ask: When were you? Isn’t it awesome?
However, this is ultimately to vent their anger, rather than to dominate the Central Plains.
However, Lin Mo's words just now made him gradually realize that he should not indulge in revenge, but should have a grand blueprint that encompasses the world's talents.
If you want to achieve great things, don't stick to small details.
This kid Yunwen is young, but he is much better than me in terms of mind and structure.
Even someone like Chen Deng, who had betrayed himself, could still use it. There was really no need to get entangled in old issues.
Lu Bu's eyes slowly became firmer, and then he looked at Lin Mo, "I had a rift with Zhang Xiu in the past. Even if I ignore the past grievances, he may not believe me."
Knowing that Lu Bu was moved, Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "It depends on how you say it. My father-in-law needs to write two letters..."
For Zhang Xiu, it is very easy to win over, just share the same hatred and hatred. For this, you might as well sprinkle some salt on his wounds. Cao Cao slept with your aunt, which is a great shame and humiliation. How can you bear this?
It so happens that Cao Cao and I also have a grudge. We were all brothers in the same camp in the past. How can we not unite now?
This rhetoric is enough. Liu Biao is a weak leader who has been ignored by the nobles. Zhang Xiu himself should have seen it. He is only seeking refuge with him now because he really has no place to stay. He must know in his heart that it is not a long-term solution.
As for this second letter, it must be given to Jia Xu.
In fact, Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's words very much. Whether he surrendered to Cao Cao for the first time, counterattacked later, or surrendered to Cao Cao for the second time, he basically followed the script given by the poisonous master.
Without convincing him, it would be difficult to get Zhang Xiu to come over.
The letter to him was written with sincerity and admiration.
When we were under Dong Zhuo's command, I had high regard for him. He was very successful whether under Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si or Duan Xuan. However, they did not recognize his talent, so they were defeated. Or doing nothing...
When writing this, Lu Bu counted on his fingers, oh, good guy, Jia Xu has assisted so many people.
"Send a fast horse to Rangcheng." Lu Bu handed the written letter to Gao Shun.
"not enough."
Lu Bu frowned and looked at Lin Mo, "What's missing?"
"Master Yue-Zhang, Zhang Xiu can be considered a prince now. Sending only two letters does not show our sincerity."
"What else?"
Lin Mo pondered for a moment, "To deliver the letter, you need to send a confidant with a high status. Secondly, you have to send 30,000 stones of food and grass."
Lu Bu's eyebrows were already raised when he heard about the unit of 30,000 stones. Lin Mo explained before he could speak: "You have to come here after such a long journey. You have to eat and drink on the way, right?"
Lu Bu clenched his chin and pondered for a moment. He was a bit of a gambler. It would be very painful if thirty thousand stones of food and grass were wasted, but this boy Yunwen has never let me down...
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just listen to you."
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't sure whether Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu would come, but the probability was high.
Historically, they really had no better choice when they returned to Cao Cao.
But it is different now. It is better to have a bad relationship with Lu Bu than to choose Cao Cao. What's more, now that Marquis Wen has set foot in the land of two states and has a great reputation, it is enough for them to change their past views.
If Jia Xu helps out, he will have the capital to compete with Guo Jiaxunyou.
Poison master versus ghost?
It's interesting to say that Lin Mo couldn't help but look forward to it.
