"Yunwen! Yunwen!"
In Xiaoguan, outside the general's mansion, Lu Bu's hearty laughter could be heard from a distance. Lin Mo had just stood up and had no time to ask questions, so he couldn't wait to raise the bamboo slips in his hand, "What a happy event, what a happy event!
Wen Yuan used 800 personal guards to break through the 30,000 Jiangdong army. Yuan Long used his reputation to frighten away the defeated soldiers. He chased them all the way and beheaded countless people.
After this battle, Jiangdong's fierce generals Ling Cao and Pan Zhang were killed in the battle, and Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan was also chopped in pieces by Yu Jin! "
The disappeared Xiaoyaojin is back?
This is too mysterious!
What made him even more stunned was that Sun Quan was dead. Did Sun Shiwan, the great emperor of Jiangdong, die like this?
It was unbelievable that history had been changed to this extent, and Lin Mo was in a daze.
In terms of political means, among the three generations of the Sun family, Sun Quan must be the most outstanding. Such a person died so dramatically, and he died at the hands of Yu Jin.
But when I think about it again, I feel that this matter is just an insignificant ripple in the current historical torrent.
With history distorted to such an extent, Sun Ce should never die at the hands of assassins again, so Sun Quan's life or death would seem less important.
After all, this guy's literary skills and martial arts skills are not on the same level as those of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
"General Zhang is truly a man of heaven!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun showed a hint of sincere admiration on his face, "I heard that Sun Ce had the courage of an overlord, and General Zhang was able to break through his 30,000 army with 800 men. It is really an ancient legend."
It is understandable for Zhao Yun to think so. As the three major wars of the Three Kingdoms, Guandu, Chibi and Yiling were all characterized by the victory of the small against the large and the weak over the strong. Only then can they be famous throughout the ages and spread throughout the world.
And before all these wars happened, Zhang Liao's 800 soldiers were broken into 30,000 soldiers, which was a great surprise.
"Sun Ce didn't go."
Lu Bu shook his head in confusion, "I'm also puzzled that he didn't show up for such an important battle."
"Even so, General Zhang's bravery was rare at that time." Zhao Yun had faced thousands of soldiers and horses alone and knew what kind of battle it was.
But Zhang Liao faced six or seven times as many enemies, and the most important thing was that he still won. Thinking about it, it feels amazing.
For a moment, Zhao Yun felt that it was not that great that he broke into Cao's camp alone and fought against the four generals.
There are really many talented people in Marquis Wen's tent, and Zhang Wenyuan is also a person with unparalleled martial arts skills. If there is a chance, we should compare with each other.
"Oh right."
Lu Bu raised his left hand and handed a sword to Lin Mo, "After Yu Jin beheaded Sun Quan, he took his sword and said it was for you."
Sun Quan's sword?
I saw that the scabbard was made of solid mahogany, with tigers painted on it, which looked extraordinary.
After Lin Mo took the sword, he held the hilt in his right hand and pulled it out, making a buzzing sound. The sword's entire body shone brightly, reflecting the cold light, reflecting the surprise in Lin Mo's eyes.
"Yunwen, this is a precious sword." Zhao Yun couldn't help but admire it.
"Okay, I will also have a sword in the future." Lin Mo chuckled and tied the Baihong Sword directly on his belt, not forgetting to take a few steps to adapt.
Although the seven-star sword is an extremely sharp killing weapon, it is a bit shorter after all. When it comes to killing people at close range, this sword is the one.
"When it comes to swordsmanship, among the people I'm familiar with, Liu Bei is definitely the best with two-handed swords." Lu Bu usually doesn't praise others, but after looking at this white rainbow sword, he thought of Liu Bei for no reason.
"Xuan Degong's swordsmanship is indeed unparalleled in the world." Zhao Yun sighed, with some sadness in his eyes.
"After you got the Qingzhi Sword, you practiced quite frequently."
Lu Bu changed the subject at the right time, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "I saw that the swordsmanship is also very strong. Yunwen was a swordsman before, but now I have to guide him."
"Marquis Wen was very complimentary. It doesn't matter. With Yunwen's talent, I think he can pick it up very quickly."
When Lin Mo heard this, he always felt that Zhao Yun was playing tricks on him.
However, it’s not bad to practice swordsmanship with Zhao Yun. Looking back on the previous battle to break out of the siege, all the swordsmanship skills taught by Xu Sheng were completely forgotten on the battlefield. I just relied on feeling to kill people. I will have to ask Zhao Yun about this later. Just fine.
"Okay, the crisis in Guangling has been resolved. Jiangdong was defeated this time. I guess Sun Ce will not dare to have any thoughts about Guangling in the past few years."
Lu Bu held the bamboo slip in his right hand and slapped it on the palm of his left hand, and said leisurely: "Then you can safely return the peace letter and the eight thousand prisoners of war to Cao Cao. At this point, we have reached an alliance to fight against Yuan."
After Lu Bu seemed to have withstood Cao Cao's fatal blow, Zhang Liao stabilized the sneak attack from Jiangdong. This was undoubtedly a great victory that was extremely beneficial to his own side.
It is foreseeable that even if the two families join forces, Yuan Shao will definitely catch the more powerful Cao Cao and beat him up, and then he will be able to benefit from it.
Wonderful, wonderful beyond words.
"No more." Lin Mo shook his head.
"What? Didn't you always say that as long as the threat from Jiangdong is removed, you can join hands with Cao Cao to fight against Yuan? Why did you change your mind again?" Lu Bu was a little confused and confused about Lin Mo's thoughts. He had just received the receipt from Guangling three days ago. When reporting urgently, he also said that he would have to wait until Jiangdong retreated his troops before returning the favor.
It's only been a few days, and things have changed again.
Lin Mo smiled brightly and said: "You have to ask Cao Cao for a reward first before letting him go. Besides, shouldn't my uncle deserve a reward for his great achievements?"
"I will reward him naturally. Isn't it enough to double the military expenditure in the spring?" Lu Bu said naturally.
"Not enough, far from enough. My lord-in-law, my uncle is now a bandit general. Shouldn't he be made a marquis after such a great victory? Except for Cao Cao, no one else can give him this kind of reward."
Lu Bu nodded, it was true, it was the same as when he helped his son-in-law ask for the position of marquis.
Using 8,000 prisoners to exchange Wen Yuan for a marquis was a shame this kid could think of.
Just when Lu Bu was lamenting that his son-in-law was a cunning boy, Lin Mo had already walked to the handsome case and started writing furiously.
Not long after, a written piece of silk cloth was handed to Lu Bu respectfully, "My father-in-law, if you think there is no problem, just seal it."
There was nothing wrong with the front, but the content behind made Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh, "You are a bit pushy. I heard that Sun Ce paid tribute at the end of the year and presented countless treasures to the court, and also gave away the Night Pearl worth ten thousand gold. I have given them all in exchange for the title of Marquis of Wu. Are you going to demote me as much as you want?"
"If he doesn't agree, don't let him go. Just get ready and fight again."
Lin Mo seemed to be talking about an insignificant thing, and then laughed again, "Don't worry, my father-in-law, he will definitely agree."
Lu Bu immediately lost his composure, "Then you must have a reason. Why do you have to force Cao Cao to let the emperor issue an order to demote him?"
"Does your father-in-law know that Huang Zu shot Sun Jian, and the two families have been at war on the Yangtze River for seven or eight years since then? Now that Yu Jin has killed Sun Quan, how can he, Sun Ce, be willing to let it go?"
A hint of melancholy appeared on Lin Mo's face, and he shook his head and said: "I am forcing Cao Cao and Sun Ma to clear the line, so as not to let the two of them join forces and end up flanking us.
Demoting Sun Ce will cause some turmoil in Jiangdong. If he wants to start a war, people from the four major families will definitely put pressure on Sun Ce and buy some time. "
The emperor of the old Liu family was completely deposed by Liu Xie's generation, but his imperial edict still represented God's will and had irreplaceable authority in the eyes of the world's scholars.
Zhang Liao was granted the title of Marquis and Sun Ce was demoted. This back and forth was equivalent to announcing to the world that the Sun family had launched an unjust war.
Of course, it is impossible to stop Sun Ce from taking revenge with this imperial edict, but it should cause a small amount of civil strife and delay it for some time.
The most important thing is that Sun Ce is unlikely to consider cooperating with Cao Cao anymore. On the contrary, with such an imperial edict, Jiangdong is under the double-team of Jingzhou and Xuzhou.
After all, Huang Zu and his Sun family were also feuding. The enemy of the enemy was a friend, and those who should be used should be used.
I understand this question, and Cao Cao, who plays politics, is naturally transparent, so Lin Mo feels that he has no reason to refuse.
If you can't solve your worries, who is interested in alliance with you? It is not impossible to join forces with Yuan Shao in a hurry and clear the emperor together.
"Thanks for your reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have realized this problem."
Lu Bu, who figured out the secret behind it, was a little scared. He was so proud just now, so he couldn't let it go. "I'll do what you say."
Lu Bu walked to the handsome chair and sat down. Then he took out the official seal of General Zuo from the brocade box on the desk and stamped it. Then he raised his head and said, "Wen Ze and Wen Xiang both made great achievements this time. Wen Xiang is okay. I'm going to be promoted to the rank of captain, Ke Wenze."
Lu Bu hesitated for a while and seemed a little embarrassed, "When he was under Cao Cao's tent, he paid homage to Marquis Yishou Ting because of the Battle of Wancheng. His military rank was a school captain. I can't promote him to Zhonglang General, right?"
"With such great achievements, what's wrong with becoming a lieutenant general?" Lin Mo blinked in confusion.
Lu Bu hesitated before speaking, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Yun, who immediately clasped his fists and said: "Marquis Wen, the last general has military affairs, so I'll take my leave first."
"Definitely!"
Lin Mo grabbed Zhao Yun and said, "My father-in-law, Zilong is one of his own family, there is nothing we can't say."
He saved the lives of your daughter and son-in-law, so you are quite defensive.
What's more, he knows very well what kind of person Zhao Zilong is, a man of unparalleled loyalty and loyalty. If he doesn't unite him, he will go back to look for the big-eared thief, and there will be no place to cry.
Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand, "He saved your life and Ling'er's. Of course I know it's my family."
Immediately he sighed, "There's nothing I can't say. That's right. Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and others who have followed me for many years are just captains. Except for Wei Yue who is still lying in Pengcheng City, he is a lieutenant general. You are the only one." Uncle Wei.
The text tells the truth."
As for his status as a reduced general, Lu Bu was too embarrassed to continue talking about it.
Lin Mo really didn't think about the factional issue for a while, but his father-in-law reminded him.
Lu Bu's stance may be due to partiality towards his old team, but the issue of power among internal factions should indeed be considered.
To be fair, Zhang Liao was the biggest hero in the Guangling battle. In addition, he was Lu Bu's old team, so he didn't dare to have any objection to how to reward others.
But Yu Jin would probably feel dissatisfied if he was given the upper hand over them in military rank.
This kind of problem cannot be ignored. The best example of teaching a lesson is Wei Yan.
Although his rebellion was due to his refusal to deal with Yang Yi, a large part of the reason was also due to his resentment under Zhuge Liang's suppression for many years.
But if you have merit, you will be rewarded. If Yu Jin does not have any substantial reward, he will not be able to retain people.
After all, this is not Yu Jin's problem. There will be generals who will be demoted in the future. After seeing Yu Jin's experience, it is inevitable that he will feel jealous.
Lin Mo held his chin in thought, feeling a little confused for a moment.
These days, he has been planning to balance the conflict between the two states' aristocratic families, hoping that the people from Ziyang Academy will slowly rise to the top after a series of eliminations, but he has ignored the old team in the military camp.
While Weng and son-in-law had different thoughts, Zhao Yun was in a daze. You said this to me in front of me. I'm a little flattered.
All fools know that the issue these two people are discussing now is considered the most important secret. In the past, in the military camp, we could not even hear the training plan and inspection time. Marquis Wen and Yunwen really regarded me as their own. ah.
"Then reward him heavily."
Lin Mo thought for a long time and felt that he could only settle for the next best thing, "Reward him with a thousand gold coins and add 300 war horses. This will not only prevent Hou Cheng and others from being dissatisfied, but also appease the ban."
Military ranks have been respected in the military since ancient times. Of course, the material rewards are not comparable to this rank. But such a generous reward can balance Jin's heart. Lu Bu nodded, "With war horses, we can form an army." A small group of cavalry will be rewarded if they perform meritorious service in the future. You are thinking very far.
The question is, where can I get him so many war horses? "
Lin Mo stroked the Baihong Sword and said with a smile: "Didn't Zuo Rong go to Jizhou? When he comes back, he will bring a group of Youzhou war horses, 500 of them. He originally wanted to enrich our cavalry."
"How could he bring the war horses back from Yuan Shao's territory?" Lu Bu didn't believe it.
"Why did my father-in-law think he went to Jizhou? Of course it was to give gifts."
Lin Mo chuckled, "You have to make some demands, otherwise others will not dare to reach out."
Purchasing war horses and taking advantage of Jizhou is a perfect excuse.
In the end, when the money was almost given, it was time to receive the gift from the other party. In this regard, Yuan Shao would help, Lin Mo was very confident.
"In that case, let's send them all to Guangling, and the remaining two hundred horses will be given to Wenyuan so that they can make up a song." Lu Bu waved his hand generously.
In fact, sending war horses is just a nice thing to hear. In the end, they will not be included in the military camp, and it is not a family member who can move them home.
However, Xuzhou, where a horse is hard to find, can be used as a reward, but it can appease people's hearts very well.
"There's more."
Lu Bu took out a piece of silk cloth from the bamboo slips and chuckled: "Chen Deng also sent a private message, saying that the Guangling family has been calmed down, Jiangdong does not dare to invade in the short term, and wants to come back to Pengcheng. This time he has also made great contributions, so he will do it." Alright."
"He doesn't want to go back to Pengcheng. He is asking for credit from his father-in-law."
Lu Bu frowned, "Why do you see it?"
Lin Mo shook his head and sneered, "He is from the capital of Guangling. Why are he going back to Pengcheng? Isn't he just trying to remind me to give him a promotion?"
Lu Bu rolled his eyes, as if this was the truth, "Actually, the Chen family has indeed given us a lot of support in the past two years. If it weren't for the Chen family's help, we wouldn't have been able to build the original curved shaft plow and keel waterwheel. With such a quantity, naturally there will not be a bumper harvest this year.
In addition to defeating the enemy this time, it's time to give him a prefect, right? Langya? "
The last word "bar" obviously sounded like consultation. Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo, waiting for his response.
