"Let me go to the Chinese army's stronghold?" Lin Mo was a little confused. Didn't he just meet him two days ago?
Yuan Tan was a little abnormal. Based on his understanding of his character, if it was really an urgent matter, he couldn't help but come to the forward camp. How could he call him over?
What's even more interesting is that the orderly soldier didn't mention his old father-in-law at all, and only said that he would be allowed to pass.
What happened? Lin Mo held his chin on his handsome desk. Of course he had to go. Don't look at the fact that he is an uncle and a good brother. If there is any trouble, he will immediately fall out with you.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo's mind was a little confused and he couldn't think of any clues.
In fact, this situation has been going on for a long time. Since Lu Bu left, he himself felt like a different person. He began to be indecisive, even hesitant, and sometimes very slow.
He felt that this was probably the reason why he had always been worried about Lu Bu.
After sighing, he stood up and prepared to go to the Chinese army stronghold to see what Yuan Tan wanted to do. Maybe it was just to talk about military strategy.
"Master Marquis, there is a horseman outside the village who has delivered this letter." Yi Li ran in and placed the letter respectfully on the table.
"Xu You."
Lin Mo glanced at the signature habitually, and then came to the main topic, "Marquis Wen saw the letter as if it were a meeting, and Yuan Shang set up a plan to alienate him. At this time, Yuan Tan and Jun Mao were inseparable, and he wanted to ambush the army, so be careful." '
After reading the content, Lin Mo's head exploded with a bang. I said that this guy was a little abnormal. It turned out that he had fallen into someone else's alienation scheme and wanted to ambush and kill him.
How Yuan Tan fell into the trap was not mentioned in the letter, but Lin Mo could probably guess it. Moreover, given the current sensitive situation between the two parties, he did not doubt that Yuan Tan would easily fall into the trap.
Now, it was Lin Mo himself who was in trouble.
If you go, you will face the risk of being ambushed, and this risk is still very high. Things like divorce schemes attack the heart, and you can't come up with any strong proof to clear Yuan Tan's doubts.
If he doesn't go, not to mention whether Yuan Tan will launch a large-scale attack, as long as he cuts off his own food and grass, the 20,000-strong army will be in dire straits.
Of course, you can take advantage of the situation and surrender to Yuan Shang, but you are also not sure whether Yuan Shang will take the opportunity to seize military power and avoid future troubles.
This trick is poisonous enough. Who gave Yuan Shangxian the trick?
Trial match?
Or is Xu You himself shouting to catch the thief?
It's possible that Shen Pei's brain is die-hard towards Yuan Shang, and Bao Buqi's imagination will run wild in critical situations.
Xu You, on the one hand, gave Yuan Shang advice, and on the other hand, he came to inform himself. This way he could protect both sides, and he would not reveal his corruption with the hope of death.
Anyway, he won't suffer in the end.
After all, from his standpoint, it was definitely a great achievement to surrender to Cao Cao after turning the Northern Kingdom upside down.
He may even have secretly contacted Cao Cao.
It was just a bet that he would not throw the evidence to Yuan Shang before the army was defeated.
The human heart is like the sun that cannot be looked directly into.
It is useless to delve deeper into this issue. It is better to think about how to deal with the situation at hand.
It always feels like it has become a dead end. It is very dangerous no matter whether we go to the Chinese army stronghold or not. The main reason is that Lin Mo himself is not sure that he can convince Yuan Tan that all this is a divorce plan. If he is not careful, his life will be revealed. There it is.
If he had more evil intentions, he could even use me as a hostage and ask the army to be used as cannon fodder.
The only way is to intimidate him with a fatal outcome for both parties, but if you fail to scare him, the consequence will be your downfall, which is not worth it.
What to do if you don't go? It's obviously impossible to surrender to Yuan Shang. That guy is probably more dangerous than Yuan Tan.
Lin Mo rubbed his temples and felt so powerless and tired for the first time in this world, as if he suddenly couldn't do anything.
"Yili."
"The general is here!"
"Send people to Wucheng and recall Xu Sheng. In addition, let the three armies prepare to go south tomorrow night. Arrive at the ferry and go down the Yellow River back to Xuzhou." Lin Mo sighed. It was a bit embarrassing to go back in such disgrace. Show your eyes.
However, Lin Mo didn't know how to deal with it if he didn't go back.
After all, the longer the delay, the greater the risk. Once the army is completely out of food, it will be impossible to escape even if it wants to.
The camp must be destroyed before leaving, so that my father-in-law and Zhao Yun will rush back to Xuzhou when they see the camp is gone.
"Master Marquis, is it really so serious? Isn't it possible that Master Marquis's unparalleled talents can't reverse it?" After finally gaining a firm foothold in the Northern Kingdom and gaining a phased advantage, suddenly the three armies withdrew. Yili couldn't understand.
Lin Mo looked straight at Yi Li, unable to say anything.
Unparalleled talent
Lin Mo felt that this word was unfamiliar to him.
Once upon a time, I was really high-spirited, and I could do whatever I wanted no matter what I did. I used the world as a chessboard to play with the wind and clouds, and the princes from all sides were just playthings in my hands.
But now
what's wrong with me.
He was actually being tormented by the Yuan brothers, whom he despised the most, so much so that he couldn't wait any longer and had to run away for his life.
The plan that went into the Northern Kingdom with so much thought turned out to be just a joke.
Lin Mo felt that his face was so painful from being beaten.
"Go and pass the order." Lin Mo shook his head. He also felt that he was very strange now.
Yili bowed and turned to leave.
Before walking out of the Zhongjun tent, a hearty laugh came from outside, "Yunwen, we are back!"
The voice was rough, but to Lin Mo's ears, it was like hearing the sounds of nature. His old father-in-law was back. He was finally back.
"Yunwen!" Lu Bu and Zhao Yun both walked in.
When we met again, it felt like we were a lifetime apart.
Lin Mo stood up slowly, walked over, and looked at Lu Bu without saying a word, but a light began to shine in his dim eyes.
"Hahaha, are you stupid? Don't you know each other?" Lu Bu, who had his revenge, was actually very nervous on the way back. Seeing that everything was the same as before, his heart dropped and he gave Lin Mo a big hug. Bear hug, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"Yunwen, I see you have lost weight." Zhao Yun also said with a smile.
Lin Mo didn't speak from beginning to end, just looking at them, an inexplicable sadness came to his heart, and even his nose felt a little sore.
But deep in his heart, the dry spring began to gush out spring water. This clear spring instantly dispelled the haze, depression, and deep sense of powerlessness that had lingered in Lin Mo's heart for many days.
At this moment, it seemed that even the adrenaline in the body was soaring and the brain was running rapidly.
It seemed like a dead end just now, but looking at it now, it seems a bit ridiculous.
This level of alienation plot seems a bit too disrespectful.
Lin Mo took a deep breath. He felt that it was not only his old father-in-law and Zhao Yun who came back today, but also his former self.
In the past, Chen Gong and Jia Xu had said several times that once he was no longer with his old father-in-law, he seemed to be a different person, suspicious and uncertain, and as a commander-in-chief, such a temper would cause trouble.
Lin Mo also thought it was ridiculous at the time. His old father-in-law was already so old, but he was still as clingy as a child.
After this time, Lin Mo understood that not only Lu Bu could not live without him, but she could no longer live without him.
Now that he is back, Lin Mo feels that his confidence and confidence are also back.
In fact, for now, it is difficult for Lin Mo and Lu Bu to form an army alone. Only by truly joining hands can they be as invincible as they were in the past.
There is nothing he is unwilling to admit. His old father-in-law can indeed bring him enough security, but in the past he has always taken this kind of stability for granted.
It wasn't until one day when his old father-in-law was no longer with him that he finally understood that the most precious things were actually the most inconspicuous ones.
A family is a family after all, and there is no shame in being separated from anyone.
"What's going on? Why did you come back ten days later than originally planned?" Lin Mo's first sentence was to complain. His father-in-law and Zhao Yun were back, and he felt relieved.
"Don't mention it."
Lu Bu waved his hand, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth. After enjoying himself, he said depressedly: "Heavy rain in Hanoi caused the Yellow River to overflow, and several rivers downstream burst their banks. You don't know how much energy we spent to get back. "
"I'm still dizzy now." Zhao Yun on the side held his forehead, indicating that this trip was quite tiring.
"Then Lord Marquis, do we still need the three armies to prepare to withdraw?" Yi Li stepped forward and asked.
"The three armies withdraw?"
Lu Bu immediately put down the teapot after hearing this, "What happened?"
Lin Mo made an invitation gesture and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then he told them what happened in the past few days.
It was just a confrontation in the front, and there was no fluctuation. When they went to the encirclement point behind to call for reinforcements, the two of them became interested. When Xu Shengmang went to Wucheng, the two of them clapped and cheered, but after learning about the alienation plan, they both became sullen.
"Okay, okay, Yuan Tan wants to ambush Yunwen and kill him. I think he wants to get together with Yuan Shao."
When he heard that Yuan Tan wanted to ambush his son-in-law, Lu Bu became angry, widened his eyes and said sternly: "Zilong, go and order all the Bingzhou cavalry. We will go with Yunwen. I will borrow three of them today." Courage, let’s see if he dares to take action!”
"Here!" Zhao Yun probably got used to Lu Bu's recklessness, so he didn't hesitate.
If this was put aside, Lin Mo would inevitably give a dogmatic lecture, such as that as a coach, he should not be surprised at everything.
But now, I just feel that this is Lin Mo's father-in-law. He can kill people thousands of miles away for his brother's best friend, but he can still let his son-in-law be threatened?
In fact, this is where Lin Mo's confidence lies. Even though there are thousands of people, I can go, because behind me, there is a father-in-law who is willing to risk everything for me.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yue-in, this is just a stratagem to alienate Yuan Tan, it's just taking advantage of Yuan Tan's inner fear. It's a trivial trick that can be broken with a snap of the finger." Lin Mo twisted his neck, feeling calm and composed as never before.
"What do you want to do?" Probably, he was used to his son-in-law being always calm and calm, so Lu Bu crossed his arms.
"Didn't he ask me to go over? I will go over right away."
"you alone?"
"To deal with Yuan Tan, there are so many people there. Isn't it too flattering to him?" Lin Mo shrugged and laughed happily.
"No, I don't agree with nonsense!"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said seriously: "What time is it? What if Yuan Tan attacks you?"
"I didn't stop my father-in-law when he was fooling around. Shouldn't I be allowed to fool around again now?"
Lin Mo cast a teasing look at Lu Bu, and before he could get angry, he sighed again, "Don't worry, Lord-in-law. I cherish my life. What's more, this is an opportunity. I'm not only going to eliminate Yuan Tan's suspicions. , but also to drag Yuan Shang into the water!"
In fact, Lu Bu certainly knew that falling out with Yuan Tan was not a good choice at the moment, but he was just too angry that he wanted to attack Lin Mo.
"Can't we send an envoy? At worst, we won't care about the two brothers' fighting. I don't worry about letting you go to dangerous places in person."
"Now my father-in-law knows how I felt when you had to go to Wen County, right?"
Lin Mo sighed and said helplessly: "This is no longer a battle between the two brothers. I have been laying out the layout here in the North Country for half a year, and I am about to close the net. How can I be willing to leave like this? Moreover, once we leave, It was Cao Cao who gained in the end.
I have to go to Yuan Camp. My father-in-law believes me and there will be no problem. "
Indeed, if you withdraw at this time, it will be difficult to come back.
Seeing his son-in-law Zhizhu in his hands, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, stretched out his finger and tapped in the air, "I will only give you an hour. If you don't hear back within an hour, I will directly lead the troops to attack Yuan Tan's military stronghold."
"enough."
Lin Mo smiled proudly, and then looked at Yi Li, "Is the person who sent the letter just now still outside?"
"Here I am."
Lin Mo nodded, then turned back to the handsome desk, took the spare silk cloth and wrote quickly. After a while, the two letters were written, and he handed them to Yi Li, "Let the visitor take this letter back, and this letter will be sent home." Quickly take him to Wuji Zhen’s house and hand him over to Zuo Rong.”
"Here!"
Yili turned around and walked out.
Everything has been arranged. Lin Mo wants to use all the plans he has set up in the North Country at one go, and the Yuan family must die here.
Of course, now it was time for him to leave for Yuan Tan's military camp. For this reason, he went back to the camp and changed his clothes. He wore white clothes and gold silk armor, ordered a group of cavalry guards to escort him towards the camp gate.
Behind him, there was a sound of drum beating, which was the beat of the drum when generals went into battle. Lin Mo, who was riding a white horse, turned his head and looked towards the place where the drum sound came from, and was shocked to find that his old father-in-law was beating the drum for him.
Lin Mo was secretly proud, it's your turn to worry.
After Lin Mo galloped his horse and raised his whip, causing a burst of dust, Lu Bu put down the drumstick in his hand, looked at the flying dust in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Zilong, please pass on the order. The three armies are assembled and ready to fight at any time."
"Here!"
Of course he believed in Lin Mo, but he had to prepare for the worst in everything. If there was no news from Lin Mo in an hour, he wouldn't be able to care about much. Let's fight to the death.
"Why are you laughing?" Lu Bu turned around and was about to enter the military tent, only to find that Yi Li, who had arranged to deliver the message, had returned and was laughing looking at the direction Lin Mo was leaving.
"Marquis Wen doesn't know something. Before you came back, Marquis Lanling was restless and depressed all day long. He hardly smiled. The general felt that he almost didn't recognize him anymore.
But as soon as you came back, he immediately returned to his former self, strategizing and calm. "
After Yi Li finished speaking, Lu Bu's heart skipped a beat, and then he snorted coldly: "How can this brat point to me to be by his side all the time at such an old age? It's outrageous."
In fact, the old father-in-law is very happy in his heart. Aren't you quite capable? Now you know why I have to tie you to my side.
Lu Bu showed a proud smile, which came from the arrogance of his old father-in-law.
