Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

123 Chapter 122
"Of course I know that Yunwen's call for thieves will be sung at home and abroad, and it will be popular for thousands of years, but I never thought that it would make Cao Cao so angry that he was critically ill."

Lu Bu was as happy as a 200-jin child, throwing the bamboo slips in his hand up and down, whistling.

After the poetry meeting was over, Chen Gong analyzed with him the strategic significance of Lin Mo this time, which would basically form a shackle for the aristocratic family that supported Cao Cao. At least in the short term, they would definitely persuade Cao Cao to give up attacking Xuzhou. The most critical time has been won.

Everyone knows that after Yuan Shao holds Youzhou in his hands, the next step will be to go south. As long as this half year is delayed, then Cao Cao will have no other way to go except to join forces with himself to fight against Yuan, unless he is determined to die. Finally, they were annexed by Yuan Shao.

Obviously, Cao Cao is not so stupid.

Therefore, in Lu Bu's cognition, the biggest gain of this poem meeting is not that Lin Mo won the first prize, nor that Ziyang Academy got the injection of new sources, but that it slowed down Cao Cao's advance. The key to changing the direction of the battle.

The results of it?After receiving the information sent by the Xuchang scouts, Lu Bu almost couldn't stand up straight from laughing.

I know that your call for thieves is powerful, but I didn't expect the situation to become like this.

Cao Cao is critically ill. If he can't afford to go down to chat with Dong Zhuo, then this matter will be interesting.

The imperial court supported by the great families will immediately lose its internal balance, and in order to compete for the interests of the family, various conflicts will break out on the huge territory.

As for myself, of course I can't miss this critical period and rush forward to take a bite of this piece of fat.

Even Lu Bu had a plan to send troops in his heart, all the way from Taishan County to Yanzhou, all the way from Xiaoguan to Qiao County to enter Yuzhou.

Who can stop that first time?Who dares to stop?
This is Lu Bu's grand blueprint, but Lin Mo is not so optimistic.

Said that Cao Cao was critically ill, he subconsciously thought of Lu Meng crossing the river in white to attack Jingzhou.

In history, Cao Cao was angry and bloody because of the main offender, and then he was scolded by Chen Lin's call for thieves, so he was fine on the spot.

To change the situation, to hold on to the sky is to scold him like a headache, how could it be possible to scold him to death.

Who is Cao Cao?

His strength is not only based on military and politics, but he also has the same strong psychological endurance as Liu Bei.

Whether it is Wancheng's defeat or Chibi's halberd, after each defeat, unlike ordinary people's remorse, he will be surprisingly calm, reflect on his past and immediately make a judgment on how to deal with it.

How could such a powerful person be scolded as critically ill?

Could it be that he cheated and attacked like Lu Meng?
After all, this idea is just a flash, because the prerequisites are not met.

Lu Meng pretended to be sick to confuse Guan Yu and transfer the remaining Jingzhou army to Fancheng to increase the pressure on Cao Wei, but no matter how much you pretend to be sick, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses of Xiaoguan and Peicheng to move, and there is no war outside.

Is that asking you to enter the urn to lure us to attack Qiao County or Taishan County?
It's hard to say.

"What's the matter, great news, you seem to feel sorry for Cao Cao." Lu Bu was a little at a loss, obviously he should celebrate.

Lin Mo crossed his arms and looked at Jia Xu.

Should I say it or not, I really don't know what Cao Cao wants to do, the old bastard should have a clue.

What are you looking at me for?I don't know either.Jia Xu subconsciously lowered her head, and then felt Lu Bu's scrutiny.

"What are you waiting for, Mr. Jia? Tell me." Lin Mo laughed.

"Wenhe, this is not good for you. Why do you always hide it in your heart? You are a great talent in the world. If others don't know, maybe I don't know. Tell me quickly, or don't blame me for transferring you to Xiaoguan Guard." Lu Bu looked as if he was inquiring about the crime.

Jia Xu waved his hands again and again, "Marquis Wen praises me, I'm ashamed of myself."

Then he stroked his black and white beard and pondered deeply, "I think Cao Cao must be cheating."

"I also agree, but I don't know what he intends to do." Lin Mo nodded approvingly.

Hearing that both of them agreed that Cao Cao was cheating, Lu Bu's heart sank a bit.

It seems that the dream of annexing Henan and Yanzhou has been shattered. Damn Cao Cao, why can't he really be dying.

"After the news about the poetry meeting spread, Cao Cao would inevitably face pressure from both parties. The morale of the inner military camp was low, and the powerful families outside would feel cowardly. Under such circumstances, Cao Cao would be in a dilemma.

What should I do? I simply fell ill. In this way, there is an explanation both internally and externally. "

Even Lu Bu could understand what Jia Xu said.

After all, he bought the war horse because he wanted to start a war, and to start a war, he would inevitably need the support of the powerful family, and the impact of poetry would make the powerful family back down.

But if he really gave up at this point, what will be the face of the court?
Just at such a time, when the head gets windy, and if you can't afford to get sick, the battle plan can only be shelved, and the matter can be said in the end.

"There is also a possibility that this is Cao Cao's tactic of underestimating the enemy, so as to make Marquis Wen arrogant and even take the initiative to attack."

Jia Xu continued: "So, I suggest that the defenses of Peicheng and Xiaoguan should not be slack in the slightest. The number of troops can only increase but not decrease, and the training of each department will remain the same. Direction of soldiers.

As long as he waited until June of the next year, Cao Cao would not dare to act rashly even if he thought about Xuzhou again. "

The old slut's analysis can be said to look at the overall situation. He explained everything that Lin Mo thought of and didn't expect.

No matter which choice Cao Cao made, he always suggested the most stable path, that is, to ensure that there will be no fighting before June next year. After this point, Yuan Shao has probably pacified Youzhou and became Cao Cao's number one threat .

At that time, he had to give up Xuzhou.

Lu Bu had completely realized it, but he still habitually looked at Lin Mo with a proving gaze. Seeing the latter nodding his head affirmatively, he said, "Okay, the training of each department is still the same, Xiao Guanpei City's defense remains unchanged, and more scouts The activity area, let’s adapt to all changes with the same.”

Cao Cao was clearly critically ill, but he still faced an enemy. Lu Bu felt that the old bastard was a little too cautious.

Fighting sometimes relies on recklessness.

After all, Lin Mo also nodded. Although Lu Bu was very disappointed, he reluctantly complied.

"Master Yuezhang, in fact, it is best for us to truce with each other and fight against Yuan together. There are some things that Cao Cao can do, but we may not be able to do them." Seeing Lu Bu's loss, Lin Mo comforted him with a joking tone.

"No matter what time it is, Yunwen can clearly judge the situation, I admire you." Jia Xu cupped his hands with a smile.

At first, he admired Lin Mo, but after Dong Linkou's defeat, he saw clearly the identity of Lin Mo's bearer, and confirmed that he was Lu Bu's successor.

To be the master in the future is more important than this strategy than precise insight into the battle situation.

Just like what Lin Mo said earlier, Jia Xu took it very seriously.

Cao Cao was able to launch wars again and again because he was able to toss about. If Xuzhou and Huainan were really defeated, he would also be able to quickly stabilize the situation, because behind him was the imperial court.

But Lu Bu couldn't do it. He took ten thousand steps back and said that Cao Cao was really dead. He was lucky enough to take down Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Lu Bu didn't have the ability to stabilize the situation in a short period of time.

Stabilizing Xuzhou relies on the Chen and Lu families working behind the scenes, and stabilizing Huainan relies on the influence of Liu Ye and Qiao's family.

Henan and Yanzhou, especially Yanzhou, have been controlled by Yingchuan's lineage for a long time. Lu Bu couldn't handle Yingchuan's hero at all. In the end, he just got a backyard full of smoke.

What's more, in the confrontation with Cao Cao, he can fail once, twice, or even three times, but Lu Bu can't, he can be defeated once.

This is the foundation, the foundation of the Cao family and Xiahou family, the foundation of the Yingchuan lineage, and even the foundation of the puppet emperor Liu Xie.

This kind of background is not something that can be caught up in a year or so by virtue of clever schemes or those inventions.

Lu Bu didn't understand this truth, but Lin Mo understood it, and it was enough to make Jia Xu feel at ease.

Anyway, you Weng son-in-law, you have to focus on the young ones.

"Anti Yuan."

Lu Bu was in a daze for a moment, and memories of the past emerged, and he couldn't help smiling, "I had at least three chances to kill him back then, what a pity."

He remembered the young man who dared to draw his sword on the court and shouted to the powerful Dong Zhuo: My sword is not bad, nine years have passed in a blink of an eye.

"Lord Yuezhang must not underestimate Yuan Shao, he is not Yuan Shu, he is the number one prince in the world."

Lu Bu waved his hand and sighed, "I know, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Beiguo Anzi reported that Yuan Shao had no less than 30 soldiers and horses, and more than 2 cavalry alone. There are also all kinds of chariots, which are inexhaustible. Inexhaustible food, grass, ordnance, I never dared to underestimate him.

It was just a moment of recollection. "

"So many?" Lin Mo was speechless this time.

Not to mention the strength of the troops, just [-] cavalry is scary enough, and there are chariots
It's embarrassing to say, I have been assisting my old father-in-law for more than a year, and I haven't even seen what the chariot looks like.

If you look at it this way, Comrade Yuan Yuan is really inhumane, and it is also embarrassing to lose to Cao Cao.

"The most important point is that we have never fought Yuan Jun before, so we don't know how powerful they are." Jia Xu also frowned.

After analyzing that Cao Cao's fraudulent disease should not cause a big wave, the topic of discussion has become to fight against Yuan Shao next year.

Zhao Yun, who hadn't had a chance to speak all this time, finally spoke, "Yuan Shao has four generals under his command, known as Hebei's Four Court Columns. Yan Liang, Wen Chou of the Three Armies, and Yuan Shao praised their bravery as much as Marquis Wen.

The last general had a battle with Wen Chou, and his marksmanship was sharp and extremely brave.

The other two are Zhang He and Gao Lan. It is said that these two are also the champions of the three armies, and their bravery is extraordinary. "

Hebei Four Court Columns.
Lu Bu was calm, he was least afraid of the opponent's bravery, and Yuan Shu also said that Ji Ling's bravery was not inferior to his own, the actual moisture can only be seen on the battlefield.

Seeing that Lu Bu was unmoved, Zhao Yun continued: "In terms of combat power, Yuan Shao's most elite troops are two teams, one is the first to enter the camp, and there are [-] troops in the first camp, all armed with heavy crossbows and extremely accurate. , there is no false hair.

During the Battle of Jieqiao, General Gongsun led Baima Yicong to defeat Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao went to the camp first and hid in the formation. When Baima Yicong approached, the formation dispersed. More than half of them were damaged, and only a few hundred riders survived. "

Recalling the tragic situation at that time, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for the old robes, and said in a deep voice: "Because the white horse righteousness was completely destroyed, General Gongsun lost his support, and he lost again and again, which is embarrassing."

Before and after the Battle of Jieqiao, Lin Mo is quite clear, it can be said that it set off the beginning of Gongsun Zan's downfall.

But the old father-in-law and Jia Xu didn't know much about this, and their expressions were solemn, "I only know that Gongsun Zan was defeated at Jieqiao, but I don't know that there is such a story in the middle. It seems that he went to the camp first, so it should not be underestimated."

Whether it is Cao Cao's extremely elite cavalry in Anfeng County, or the more than 1000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command, they are all as swift as the wind.

But in terms of speed alone, I'm afraid it won't be better than Baima Yicong, and even they are hard to survive, which has to be said to make Lu Bu a little worried.

After all, like Gongsun Zan, his greatest reliance is the cavalry under his command.

"What about the second one?" Jia Xu couldn't help asking.

Zhao Yun continued: "The second group is the euphorbia soldiers under the command of Zhang He. I heard that after Yuan Shao annexed the three prefectures of Qing, Bing, and Ji, he selected a thousand elites from more than [-] troops. They are not part of the trilogy. The military marquis and head of the village, that is, the captain and Sima, are not afraid of death and are extremely brave.

All of them are holding halberds and huge shields, and wearing heavy armor. Although their movements are not fast, once they get close to the body, they will be torn apart.

Yuan Shao formed this euphorbia warrior to deal with General Gongsun's Baima righteousness, but after Jieqiao, the white horse righteousness never came back, so people in the world don't hear much about the euphorbia warrior. "

Hearing these words, Lu Bu had already started rubbing his swollen temples.

In this way, Yuan Shao not only has a large number of soldiers, but also has elites who will not lose to the camp.

This battle is difficult.

No wonder both Wenhe and Yunwen concluded that as long as they survived this half year, Cao Cao would not dare to have any thoughts, and Yuan Shao was the strongest opponent.

"Fortunately, Zilong has come, and I have learned a lot about Yuan Shao's situation." Lu Bu cast an appreciative look at Zhao Yun.

"Marquis Wen's words are serious." Zhao Yun cupped his hands and bowed.

The general situation is understood clearly.

Lu Bu didn't feel a little relieved because he learned the other party's information, but felt very depressed.

"Fortunately, even if Yuan Shao goes south, Cao Cao will bear the brunt. We are still in a relatively safe situation. However, if the battle situation falls, Marquis Wen will also need to help Cao Cao." Jia Xu reminded.

Lu Bu laughed dryly, the world is like chess, and shocking changes may occur within a day.

Yesterday he was still working hard to fight against Cao Cao, and today he still has to worry about him losing to Yuan Shao, so he needs to help him.

"What are you thinking about, Yunwen?" Seeing Lin Mo's silent meditation, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at him.

"Since the enemy has changed from Cao Cao to Yuan Shao."

Lin Mo, who came back to his senses, said quietly: "Then, give him two gifts, just in case."
