Guo Huai's suggestion was very good and very feasible. As soon as he started taking action, Yan Rou came to the door and offered to help.
Yan Rou, who has been captured by Wuhuan since he was a child, is proficient in the languages of the two ethnic groups. It can be said that he has different feelings for Han and Wuhuan, so when he heard Zhao Yun's call, he jumped out and responded, and also brought Qiba All members of the clan can serve as translators.
Yan Rou actually did this with a certain degree of favoritism. He knew very well that if he didn't take the initiative to help Lu Jun solve the language problem at this time, Zhao Yun might just go on a killing spree if he got anxious.
On the other side, after learning that Tadun had been beheaded before the battle, King Su Puyan of Qiao and King Wuyan of Hanlu were not furious, so they rushed to Liucheng with more than 30,000 Wuhuan warriors to avenge their shaman leader.
On the contrary, their reaction after learning the news was similar to that of the Wang Ting Army. They subconsciously wanted to run and stay away from this place.
Tadun's death was a fatal blow to the morale of the Wuhuan army. Even if they wanted to try to fight back, they couldn't. After all, the 'adults' of the tribe under them all wanted to return to their own territory quickly and The whole family was taken away from Youbeiping.
Because they had not left any chickens or dogs behind when they invaded and plundered Han territory in the past, they were also worried that when the Han army from the opposite side came, an army of tens of thousands would be so shattered.
Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu were pleased to bring their 30,000 brothers over to help. After all, they had only captured one Liucheng, and there were still many counties to take over.
In addition, Yuyang and Shanggu counties are still busy.
After the news spread, Wuhuan was shocked three times a day. In just half a month, more than half of the nomadic Wuhuan in Youbeiping fled.
After the news reached Yuyang, many Wuhuan tribesmen began to flee. At this time, Tian Yu, who was in Yuyang, was confused and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I don't want to leave my lord, but Zilong is like this." Achievements, if the former master had used them, how could he have been defeated?"
Liu Bei also said this.
Because these three people had a good relationship, Tian Yu initially hung out with Liu Bei. Later, he had to take care of his elderly mother, so he bid farewell to Liu Bei and returned to Youzhou, where he joined Gongsun Zan's camp.
Historically, Tian Yu defected to Cao Cao after Gongsun Zan's defeat, but in the current world, it was the Lulin Group that attacked the Northern Kingdom, so he just retreated to his hometown of Yuyang and has never been involved in worldly affairs.
This time, watching Zhao Yun transform from his former status as a military prince to a commander-in-chief leading thousands of troops, and even killing Tadun with a thousand-horse formation, while becoming famous, it also aroused the blood in Tian Yu's body.
He immediately ran to find Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin, and wanted to take them with him to Youbeiping to find Zhao Yun.
The two of them had intended to join the Lulin Group. After hearing Tian Yu's words, they still had a chance to get rid of the nepotism, so they simply went to find Zhao Yun with more than 3,000 family soldiers.
If history does not change, these three people can all become effective border guards in the Cao Wei Group. Now, Tian Yu just hopes that Zhao Yun will not lose sight of old talents once he succeeds.
When Lin Mo received the frontline dispatch, he felt surprisingly calm, as if this incident was expected for him. The reenactment of the Battle of Bailang Mountain was quite successful.
The Northern Territory is still being cleaned up, and it may take another half a year. Once they have arranged everything, the Northern Territory should be in peace for a long time.
Because in the letter, Zhao Yun put forward his own opinions on governing the three counties of Wuhuan. He did not plan to kill all the foreigners like Gongsun Zan, but planned to select elites to return to Yecheng, so that they could make contributions to Lin Mo's battlefield.
At the same time, Wuhuan must be used to contain Gongsun Kang and Xianbei outside the pass.
Compared to Bailangshan Zhan Tadun, Lin Mo was happier that Zhao Yun could make such a decision, because he already had the shadow of a commander in his body.
Soon.
He began to be able to take care of himself.
The Northern Kingdom no longer has Wuhuan harassing the border, nor does it have the Black Mountain bandits in the Taihang Mountains. Given time, it will surely be able to recover, or rather surpass, its most glorious period.
Now, various ministries are also counting the current troops and horses, and they want to bring them to Yecheng together with the intelligence about the autumn harvest, so that Lin Mo can make preparations for next spring's war.
It seems that everything is developing in a favorable direction.
If there is anything that makes Lin Mo feel uneasy, it is that he has not thought of any way to stabilize Cao Cao first.
On the other hand, Fazheng and Zhang Song did not reply to their letters, and Liu Zhang's envoys had arrived. Logically speaking, they should also express their feelings.
Unless, they have chosen Cao Cao.
This possibility is not impossible. Cao Cao now occupies Hanzhong and can directly threaten Yizhou. These people are already restless and want to change their masters.
Perhaps in their hearts, both themselves and Cao Cao can become the Lord of Sichuan. However, they are thousands of miles away, but Cao Cao is close at hand. After all, it is just beyond their reach.
But even if they really choose Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely intervene when they fight against the ten tribes in Guanzhong.
If Cao Cao chooses to divide his troops to fight on two fronts, Yizhou and the Central Plains, he is not worried. I am afraid that Cao Cao will abandon Yizhou and ignore it and directly attack the Central Plains. Then he will be out of luck.
"Anyway, we still have enough time. Let's attack Cui Xian. This is the only way." In Yuan Mansion, Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
It has been more than two months since Cui Xian came back to Yecheng. Cui Xian only sent her maid to invite her once. Since she didn't go, she never came again.
Therefore, it was him who took the initiative this time.
However, before doing this, Guo Zhao needs to be invited over. The scheming queen is obviously better than Lin Mo in dealing with women.
It's January again, ushering in the autumn harvest season, Guo Zhao has also arrived, and Lin Mo can finally start taking action.
Cui Xian was married as a concubine, and a separate courtyard was arranged for her in the Yuan Mansion.
Lin Mo came to her courtyard after twists and turns. After the maid informed him, Cui Xian happily invited him in.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law." When he met Cui Xian for the first time, Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable. The woman in front of him was seven or eight years younger than him, so why should he call her his mother-in-law?
She's not bad in appearance, and can compete with the dark queen, but those eyes always give people an indescribable and uncomfortable feeling.
"Where is your husband?" Cui Xian just glanced at Lin Mo, then sat beside her like a lady, looking straight ahead and speaking coldly.
"Pengcheng."
After Lin Mo nodded and explained, Cui Xian's face was calm and she just said calmly: "Don't you want to see me?"
"No."
Lin Mo shook his head, "He went to Pengcheng for important military affairs."
Cui Xian sat upright like a wooden figure, as if he was indifferent to everything. He just nodded slightly and didn't even intend to ask curiously what military affairs he was talking about.
Helpless, Lin Mo could only talk to himself and continued: "Because after discussing with Lord Yue-in-law, I plan to send a large army to Sizhou. Cao Cao must believe that I have invested all the most elite main forces in the west, and will wait for them to attack Xuzhou." When using troops, if my father-in-law surprises him again and gives him a head-on attack, Cao Cao will be defeated!"
"I have long heard that Lin Yunwen is proficient in the art of war. He can strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away. If my husband has your help, he will conquer the world sooner or later."
Cui Xian still looked like she was dying, and her words were neither salty nor cool, but this time she took the initiative and asked: "Can I go to Pengcheng?"
Lin Mo was a little stunned.
In the past, whether it was with villains like Zuo Rong and Guo Tu, scholars like Chen Deng and Lu Su, or even the old scumbag Jia Xu, they could always roughly guess the content of the conversation.
But the Cui Xian in front of her was like a mist, and her words were really out of context.
"My dear, my father-in-law specifically asked me to take good care of you before leaving. He asked you to stay in Yecheng and wait for him. After defeating Cao Cao, you will come to pick him up. Please wait patiently, my dear."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Cui Xian nodded and yawned, "I'm tired, is there anything else?"
"No, my dear, please have a good rest. My son-in-law is resigning."
After exiting Cui Xian's villa, Lin Mo couldn't help but scratch his head and murmured: "Damn it, I have seen countless women, but I have never seen a woman like this."
In the next month, Lin Mo focused on dealing with the military affairs of the Northern Kingdom, including the autumn harvest bills and military rosters sent by various states and counties.
"Master Marquis, now we still need the account books and directories of Youzhou. According to the situation in previous years, there is no cultivated land in Youzhou, and the harvest will not be too optimistic. In addition, this year's war is sluggish. Excluding Zhuojun, it can almost be ignored. Forget it.
As for the roster of soldiers and horses, General Zhao has already sent someone to deliver it.
It will take about five days to put this together. At that time, we will make a detailed account book and submit it to the Marquis for review. "
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Needless to say, the Xin brothers can indeed help a lot, and are much easier to use than Guo Tu. With them, Lin Mo can save a lot of unnecessary effort.
That night, Guo Zhao prepared bath water for Lin Mo as usual. Now he no longer had to be as shy as before, and without Guo Zhao's help, he took off his clothes and jumped into the vat to enjoy the queen's delicate fingers.
"Master, Cui Xian has not left home for more than a month, and her maids have not left the courtyard. The people who went to deliver food were all designated by me. During this period, Cui Xian has not spoken to them."
"So weird?"
Lin Mo frowned, and according to his own thoughts, he deliberately sold a military intelligence in front of Cui Xian, and this military intelligence should be very important to Cao Cao. If Cui Xian was fulfilling the duty and job of recruiting secret agents, Then she will definitely find a way to send the information out.
"I also find it strange that there are people watching her even at night. It is impossible for her to pass on the military report without telling us. So, there is only one possibility."
Lin Mo turned to look at Guo Zhao's rosy face slightly smoked by the steam, raised his forehead, and motioned for her to continue.
"She didn't come to Yecheng to inquire about the military situation."
"In other words, she came here to sow discord between my father-in-law and me."
Guo Zhao nodded, "This is the only possibility, so she is indifferent to all military affairs, as long as she is close to Marquis Wen."
After listening to Guo Zhao's analysis, Lin Mo suddenly thought that Cui Xian's reaction at that time was indeed that he didn't care about the military situation at all and only cared about whether he could go to Pengcheng to find Lu Bu.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo shook his head again, "No, if it was just to sow discord, my father-in-law was not in Yecheng at this time, and I was alone and alone, she could have tried to seduce me. This matter If the father-in-law knows about it, wouldn't it be easier to cause discord?"
Guo Zhao chuckled and said, "Master, who are you? In the Northern Kingdom, and even in today's world, you are a leader among young people. Even Cao Cao is afraid of you. It is not an exaggeration to say that you have half of the power.
For a person like you who wants power and is famous for his scheming, how could she dare to try it easily? Of course, it would be more appropriate to start with Marquis Wen. "
"It makes some sense, but it's not entirely true."
Lin Mo slowly shook his head and said: "You have also seen my little mother. To say that it is breathtaking, my little mother's smile is breathtaking. My father-in-law has a little girl, so there is no reason to fall in love with her."
"I can't understand this either."
What Cui Xian wants to do is a mystery. Guo Zhao hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "I think as long as her details are found out, the purpose will automatically surface. If I go to Xuchang in person, it will take at most three months. Useful clues can be dug up.”
Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Guo Zhao, and said with a serious face: "If you have such thoughts in the future, I will not let you leave Pengcheng!"
"I know." When Lu Lingqi said that Lin Mo would not agree, she was moved, but women are such emotional creatures sometimes, and they always have to hear it with their own ears before they are convinced.
In fact, he has been with Lin Mo for six or seven years, but this is the first time he is so serious, but Guo Zhao feels extremely sweet.
Lin Mo stood up and whispered in his ear: "You are my woman."
Then he hugged Guo Zhao and put him into the bucket without taking off his clothes.
This wooden barrel is still big enough to accommodate two people and can be changed into different positions.
But Lin Mo obviously didn't just do it for the sake of lightness, and then he saw water splashing in the bucket.
After about half a stick of incense, Guo Zhao leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder and said Nunuuo: "But this way I won't be able to worry about the master."
"Didn't you just help me share my worries?"
These words made Guo Zhao blush, and he buried his head in his chest and said nothing.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter what purpose she has. I'm not looking for her to deal with it. After all, keeping her in Yecheng can at least paralyze Cao Cao and save him from sending other people. Then I will be hard pressed. Parry.”
"I understand that you want to take advantage of the situation, but this way you won't be able to use it against Cao Cao."
"Actually, the fact that my father-in-law suddenly left the North Country and returned to Pengcheng will make people suspicious." Lin Mo's hands roamed around Guo Zhao's smooth, mirror-like back, and he murmured inarticulately.
"so."
When Guo Zhao heard this, he thought of something and said in surprise: "We can spread some rumors, saying that you and Marquis Wen don't get along. Cui Xian doesn't correspond with Cao Cao anyway. Maybe this can deceive him?"
Lin Mo smiled softly and kissed Guo Zhao's moist red lips, "That's too obvious. Who is Cao Cao? He is cunning and suspicious."
"so what should I do now?"
"Ze Rong has gone to Qingzhou now, so we can only let Guo Tu come out and do something."
Guo Tu?
What can he do.
When Guo Zhao wanted to ask a few more questions, he was already hugged by Lin Mo and said with a bad smile: "It's more comfortable in bed."
That night, Lin Mo went in and out seven times without losing a single thing.
It was already noon when I woke up the next day. After a simple wash, I was summoned to Guo Tu.
"The Marquis called me to come here, but what are your instructions?" Guo Tu has been feeling depressed recently.
He didn't understand why Zhe Rong was so favored by Lin Mo that he actually got the governor of Qingzhou. His own failure was painful, but his friend's success was even more painful.
Moreover, even the Xin brothers were increasingly valued by Lin Mo, which made Guo Tu almost autistic.
I really can’t understand it. If you want to say that Zuo Rong was brought here from Xuzhou at the senior level, let’s not mention it. The Xin brothers were obviously with him. He was the driving force behind sending Zhen Mi to him. He couldn’t take all the credit. Mark it on the two brothers.
If there was anything that really made Lin Mo dissatisfied, it might be that he had been unable to instigate Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu after spending more than half a year in Zhuoxian County.
Life is too difficult.
"There's something I need you to do."
Hearing what Lin Mo said, Guo Tu quickly bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, if you can't do it this time, just take off my head!"
Guo Tu was very excited to finally have a chance to perform again.
"My father-in-law has been to Pengcheng for a few months. Recently, I seem to have heard some people in the city talking about the rift between me and my father-in-law. Have you heard about it?" Lin Mo looked at Guo Tu faintly.
this.
How to answer this.
After pondering for a moment, Guo Tu coughed dryly and said, "Yes, there are some, but I won't believe these words."
"nonsense."
Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him angrily, "If you were asked to find all these people, would you be able to do it?"
"Okay!" Guo Tu quickly assured.
"Okay, later I will ask General Yuan to issue an order to make you the patrol captain of Yecheng. You must find out all these people who have dirty talk, and then let them remember it for the rest of their lives."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The patrol captain in Yecheng is one level higher than the ordinary captain, equivalent to a general. Guo Tu quickly promised: "The Marquis and Wen are very close, and there is no quarrel between them. Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will let him do it." He should pay more attention in his next life."
"Go ahead."
After Lin Mo waved his hand, Guo Tu ran out like a rabbit.
This job is not difficult and Guo Tu is very good at it. He is even thinking that this time he will not only get things done, but also take advantage of the situation to deal with the people who are not dealing with him.
Anyway, I am doing things with the general's orders.
After Guo Tu left, Lin Mo stretched out a little listlessly. This little devil almost squeezed me dry.
"After all this commotion in Yecheng, the news should spread quickly.
A smart person like Cao Cao should believe it. "
This is the only way Lin Mo can think of to stabilize Cao Cao now.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether Cao Cao bites the hook.
