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

Chapter 149 148 Lin Mo's layout, Xu Shu bowed down

Pengcheng, Ziyang Academy.

In the beginning, it was a courtyard with two entrances, and bookshelves were placed in each individual room, including the living room in the middle, which was blocked by partitions and used as a library.

Then they are classified according to astronomy and geography, farming and water conservancy, war books and so on.

Later, the Poetry Club was a great success, attracting more than 2000 poor students, but the two courtyards seemed much smaller.

Ze Rong then brought in the warehouse next door, which can accommodate hundreds of people to study.

Those who couldn't accommodate them could only borrow books and go to the houses where they stayed to study hard.

It's a pity that there have been no aggressive battles recently, so the collection of books has not increased, and there are only more than 5000 books in the entire academy.

After the poetry meeting, some poor students who came here donated the books in their hands, which was worth only [-] yuan.

If you want to expand the academy, you can only capture other states and counties and collect them from those treasuries.

If you can invade Jizhou, no kidding, you can easily double the size of the academy. If you implement the land grabbing method, the aristocratic family will not let it go, and it will be five times.

But for now, it's actually pretty good.

At least the old father-in-law was very satisfied. He looked around at the busy students and the neatly stacked books, and said with emotion, "Yunwen, when he was in Luoyang, Cai Yong was known as the most prosperous book collector in the world. With a collection of more than ten thousand volumes, Confucian classics have always been respected.

But I never dared to think that one day I could collect books like him. "

Indeed, in this world, books are the best decorations.

While the two were chatting, a man in the inner room who was about 26 years old and wearing a washed and faded Confucian robe greeted him, and bowed to Weng and his son-in-law, "I'm placing a single blessing, and I have seen Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling .”

The man's appearance is ordinary, and he belongs to the kind that won't make people look at him even if he is placed in the crowd.

Weng and son-in-law looked at each other, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Come with me."

The group of three left the quiet but crowded academy, and came to the next-door council hall.

Xu Shu stood in the middle of the hall, Lin Mo stood beside the table, and Lu Bu sat down on the handsome chair. Then he looked at Xu Shu, looked him up and down, and smiled, "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi. When we were in Xiaoguan I look forward to meeting you every day.”

The very simple opening remark made Xu Shu take two steps back. A horrified look appeared on Gu Jing's face, and his mouth opened and closed, hesitant to speak.

Lin Mo on the side pressed his hand and explained: "Yuanzhi killed people in the downtown area back then, and changed his name to avoid disaster. Even now that he is in Xuzhou, he is worried about the safety of his mother at home, so he dare not treat each other by his real name. After all, Yingchuan It's Cao Cao's lair, and your worries are justified."

If Lu Bu's words just now made him uneasy, then Lin Mo's words made him feel like he was being shocked, and he opened his mouth to dig out all his details.

He looked at Lu Bu for a while, and Lin Mo for a while, but he couldn't remember anything that he had planned.

"Dare to ask Marquis Lanling, how do you know so much about me?" Lin Mo would investigate the students of Ziyang Academy, and he knew this a long time ago. After all, he also knew that Ziyang Academy was cultivated by Lin Mo after all. own power.

But apart from a few close friends in Jingzhou, only a few classmates from Yingchuan in the past knew about his use of a pseudonym. There is no reason to find out so quickly.

Lu Bu smiled proudly, "Xu Yuanzhi is a great talent, but he is not a mere person. Have you ever heard of Zhao Zilong's name?"

"General Zhao is brave and invincible. He single-handedly broke into the positions of thousands of Cao's troops in search of the Marquis of Lanling, and then retreated to Dianwei's hands as a savior. No one knew about this." Xu Shu looked suspicious, not knowing why Lu Bu asked this.

"You know, he was just a military lord under Gongsun Zan's command, and he was still unemployed in Changshan for three years."

Xu Shu nodded, "I have also heard about this matter. It is said that the Marquis of Lanling knew the Chollima in the fields. Marquis Wen sent thirteen letters to him. Finally, he asked General Zhao to come out to help him."

"That's right, my son-in-law has the talent of Bole, even those who are unknown, as long as they have real talents and practical learning, they are all included in my son-in-law."

Lu Bu put his index finger and middle finger together and pointed at Xu Shu, "Just like your name Xu Yuanzhi, it was Yunwen who told me."

He had also heard about Lin Mo's ability to recognize people and judge things, such as Gan Xingba, Xu Wenxiang, and Zhao Zilong, but Xu Shu was surprised that he was also included in the opponent's list.

However, Xu Shu was still very confident in his talent, but he didn't understand why Lin Mo knew so many things, so he became even more curious for a while.

"Yuanzhi, since you chose to stay in Ziyang Academy, you naturally have the same ambition as us, and we hope to treat each other with sincerity in the future."

Xu Shu bowed to Lu Bu, "Marquis Wen killed the country's traitors back then, and now he wants to rescue the emperor from the wolf's den. Although I am not talented, I am willing to help wholeheartedly and do my best."

This sentence alone is enough to make Lin Mo affirm his own judgment. He is also a man of integrity and loyal to the big man.

Although the old Liu's family is now depleted of talents and the court is in decline, there are still many people in the world who turn to the Han Dynasty.

This is why Weng and his son-in-law want to teach Xu Shu a lesson.

"Yuan Zhi, let me ask you, who are the current national thieves?" Lin Mo asked suddenly.

"Cao Cao coerced the emperor internally to bully the feudal lords with self-respect. Today's imperial court has long since been ruined, rituals and music collapsed under its power. Cao Cao is a national traitor. Why should the Marquis of Lanling know what to ask?" When Xu Shu said this, Hold your head high and hold your chest high in awe.

"Yes, not entirely."

Lin Mo took two steps towards Xu Shu, looked at him, and said in a calm manner, "There is another national thief, Yuan Shao."

Xu Shu's eyes sank slightly, and he asked tentatively, "The Marquis of Lanling is talking about Yuan Shao not saving the Son of Heaven?"

"At that time, the Son of Heaven had ordered all the feudal lords to escort him. Yuan Shao could have sent a fast horse from Ye County to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to rescue him, but he didn't go. It makes sense, do I need to explain it again?"

Regarding this matter, he discussed it with Sima Hui and Pang Tong when he was in Jingzhou. It is basically certain that Yuan Shao was short-sighted and busy marching into Bingzhou to swallow Gongsun Zan's territory. Otherwise, with his strength at the time, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to grab it. .

One proclaimed himself emperor, and the other did not follow the emperor's edict. The Yuan family brothers were considered ashamed to be raised in captivity by the Han family of the fourth generation and the third lord.

"Yuan Shao is really ignorant about this matter, at most he has not done his duty, so he can't be called a national traitor, right?" Xu Shu didn't have a good opinion of Yuan Shao either.

"Not at the moment, but if you think about it carefully, a person who can annex other states and counties is more important than rescuing the emperor, if Cao Cao is destroyed in the future, won't he become the second Cao Cao?"

Lin Mo's words were sharp, his eyes were burning, and he acted like a loyal minister of the imperial party, and said coldly: "I don't know if Yuan Zhi knows one more thing. After Yuan Shu's defeat, he asked the North Kingdom for help. Do you know what Yuan Shao did? He actually chose to accept it.

Yuan Shu is a person who usurped and proclaimed himself emperor. Isn't Yuan Shao acting like a traitor?Are these people considered national thieves? "

What a smart person Xu Shu is, of course he knew that everything Lin Mo said was reasonable.

If he really wanted to study it carefully, he also felt that if Yuan Shao drank the Yellow River and won the Central Plains, there was a high probability that he would become emperor like Yuan Shu.

Moreover, at that time, no one can stop him.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu cupped his hands towards Lin Mo, "I understand the meaning of Lanlinghou's words. If you want to save the emperor and sweep the world, you must first unite with Cao to resist Yuan, and then destroy Cao.

I just don't know what Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling need to do next. "

Look, this is a smart person who understands everything and doesn't need too complicated explanations.

"Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers, food, grass, and weapons are inexhaustible. Even if we join forces with Cao Cao, our chances of winning are extremely low. Moreover, according to my estimation, he should send a team of soldiers out of Qingzhou to contain us, and then raise a large army to follow us." Jizhou went south to attack Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao is defeated, we will naturally be bitter. "

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Bu stood up directly from the handsome chair, walked in front of Xu Shu, put his hands on his shoulders, and said earnestly: "So, in order to restore the emperor and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, we need Yuan Zhi to bow down and go to the North Kingdom to attract the attention of Xu Shu." For internal response."

Xu Shu's heart sank. Although the two armies were fighting against each other, soldiers never tire of deceit, but it was difficult for Xu Shu, who had integrity in his heart, to accept such a feigned surrender as an undercover agent.

This is why later generations of storytelling like to say that the trick of false surrender was used by Soochow, Cao Wei occasionally used it, and Shu Han abandoned it. Most people who claim to be orthodox value integrity and will disdain false surrender.

The second master always scolded Soochow as a rat, and this accounted for a large part of the reason.

Lin Mo added in a timely manner: "People who enter the Northern Kingdom this time must not only be talented, but also have the heart to endure humiliation for a big man. How many people are there in the world? We will never ask Yuan Yuan if we are forced to do so." Straight up."

This ran counter to the educational philosophy that Xu Shu had received since he was a child, but with the cooperation of Weng and his son-in-law, he was indeed shaken.

In order to save the emperor and protect the orthodoxy, so what if the people of my generation bowed their knees
"I would like to dedicate myself to the Northland!"

After a brief consideration, Xu Shu made a bow to Lu Bu and Lin Mo, and then said awkwardly, "How can I help Marquis Wen defeat Yuan Shao?"

He thought he had some talent, but the problem was that the northern scholars who wanted to join Yuan Shao could line up from Jizhou to Yuzhou, let alone Guo Jia, who had worked under Yuan Shao's tent.

In terms of prestige from a famous family, he is far inferior to Guo Jia. If he enters the North Kingdom alone as a poor family, he might not even be able to meet him.

"You can rest assured that this is Yuanzhi, Yunwen has already made arrangements for you, just waiting for you to leave."

Seeing that Xu Shu had agreed, both Weng and son-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Can this be arranged?

Of course Xu Shu knew that Lin Yunwen's methods were superb, and he took advantage of that poem. At that time, it was also because of his talent that he strengthened his confidence to stay.

But he had even made arrangements for this kind of thing in advance, even Xu Shu, who was as smart as Xu Shu, felt a little apprehensive, "Please show me the Marquis of Lanling."

"You go to Hanoi to find Zhang Yang."

"Prefect Zhang?"

Lin Mo nodded, "They may look down on you if you go to the Northern Kingdom, but if Prefect Zhang goes, you will definitely have a certain status."

Xu Shu took a step back, it turned out that Zhang Yang was also one of yours
Afterwards, his chaotic mind became clear in an instant, wonderful, Zhang Yang is the prefect, of course he will be taken seriously, at least he can do it for the world to see.

But he is a warrior after all, he is brave but not resourceful, and when he goes deep into the enemy's rear and cannot communicate, he often needs to make up his own mind. At this time, he needs a counselor to help him make suggestions.

This game of chess is not small, Lin Yunwen's methods are still as amazing as when he first met at the poetry meeting.

"Prefect Zhang still has more than 2 soldiers and horses in his hands. He should not take all of them to the North Kingdom. Even if he takes them there, he will be guarded by Yuan Shao and fill up the battalions. Therefore, the Marquis of Lanling should be planning to let him enter the North Kingdom as a defeated soldier. Let's go." Xu Shu followed Lin Mo's train of thought and guessed.

"Yuan Zhi is extremely intelligent, indeed."

Lin Mo gave Xu Shu a big hat to put on, but the latter showed hesitation, "The last worry is the appearance of a defeated soldier. With Yuan Shao's current strength, even if he accepts it, he will not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. How can we break the situation?"

Lin Mo showed a smile, "Don't worry, I have already given the countermeasures to Zhang Taishou. When you get there, he can leave at any time."

Even after all this was arranged, Xu Shu couldn't help laughing, cupped his hands and said, "Admiration, admiration, what Lanling Hou said, I want to leave for Hanoi immediately, and I want to see how your wrist can make me and Zhang Taishou stand firm in the North Kingdom heel."

Seeing Lin Mo's expression on his chest, Xu Shu knew that he was not putting on airs, but it was really too difficult to be precise here.

The most basic point is that one must gain enough status after the past. Among other things, one must at least be able to participate in the discussion. This point alone is extremely difficult.

People in the opposing camp, such as Shenpei, Tian Feng, Jushou, Fengji, Xinpi, Guo Tu, and Xu You, are either from well-known backgrounds, have profound backgrounds, or are resourceful and have great military exploits. How could they compete for that seat? ?
Secondly, to gain enough trust, at critical times, even important information such as food, marching routes, etc. must be drawn out.

The most difficult point, how to ensure that I and Zhang Yang entered the Qingzhou front instead of following Yuan Shao into the Cao Cao front?
This point is not only difficult, but also the most critical link. If he enters the battle line against Cao Cao, it will not help Lu Bu deal with Yuan Shao at all.

You can't help Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shao, can you?
This matter is too difficult, Xu Shu is also somewhat talented, but he can't think of any way to achieve this level.

But if Lin Mo didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to ask more questions. After all, today is the first day of formal acquaintance, and it would be great to be entrusted with important tasks.

It's just that the difficulty of this matter is as high as the sky in Xu Shu's perception. The more so, the more the damn competitive heart in his heart will drive him to get the answer.

"Marquis Wen, Marquis Lanling, I will leave for Hanoi tomorrow to meet the prefect Zhang!" Compared with the confusion and doubts at the beginning, Xu Shu is now full of enthusiasm, and he can't wait for the day and night to come.

Lu Bu then said: "Yuanzhi can go there without worry, I have sent someone secretly to Yingchuan to pick up Lingmu."

Xu Shu was stunned, as a filial son who would rather give up Liu Bei, the uncle of the great Han emperor who valued him for his mother, he was deeply moved.

Before he could say thank you, Lu Bu continued: "I didn't tell you just now, because I didn't want you to feel threatened by me. Don't worry, I will treat your mother as a guest."

Among the people who straddled two states and held a powerful soldier, Lu Bu was so considerate of himself, and it pierced his heart in an instant. Xu Shu's nose was sore, and with a bit of choking, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I'll be ashamed I must live up to my trust, as long as I can enter Yuan Ying, I will definitely lead him into the abyss of eternal doom!"

"I'll wait for you to come back." Lu Bu nodded heavily.

Lin Mo also let out a long sigh of relief.

The most critical move finally fell in the most perfect form.

Putting a counselor ceiling in the opponent's camp to cooperate with him, I feel looking forward to it after thinking about it.
