Chapter 2: Appearing before men
"Joke!"
Lu Bu leaned back in his chair and laughed loudly.
Use Liu Bei to attack me?
This sounded to Lu Bu as if someone had told him that he was going to use Fang Tian's halberd to stab him.
"Do you know if it weren't for me... If it weren't for Wen Hou Yuanmen shooting the halberd, he Liu Bei would have become a dry bone in the grave, and An dare to have a different heart? ”
What Lu Bu is most proud of in this life is that he shot the halberd at Yuanmen, earned Yuan Shu 200,000 stone grain and grass, and sold it to Liu Bei Tianda's life-saving favor.
He Liu Bei will only help him guard the door with all his heart, how can he come to attack him.
"Lord Yue, my son-in-law would like to ask, before Lu Bu arrived, who was the lord of Xuzhou?"
Ahh
It seems to be Liu Bei.
He knew that Lin Mo was reminding himself not to forget that Xuzhou was snatched from Liu Bei in the end, no matter how clever the Yuanmen Halberd Shooting was, it would be impossible for Liu Bei to miss him well.
Lu Bu was speechless for a while, so he could only take a sip of tea in embarrassment, and then said unwillingly: "Even so, Liu Bei is unlikely to take refuge in Cao Cao!"
Who doesn't know that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou a few years ago, and slaughtered the three counties of Dongguan, Langya, and Donghai, and the people of Xuzhou hated him to the core. ”
From this point of view, it is indeed unlikely that Liu Bei will vote for Cao Cao.
In fact, even if there is no such reason, Liu Bei himself is ambitious, and if it were not for the end of the road, he would not be able to defect to anyone.
Lin Mo lifted the boiling kettle on the side to add water to Lu Bu, and said leisurely:
"Lord Yue, what I just said is that Cao Cao can use Liu Bei, and I didn't say that Liu Bei would defect to Cao Cao."
"What's the difference?" Lu Buhu said suspiciously.
After pondering for a while, Lin Mo felt that this father-in-law was not a very smart son, so he turned around and walked to the desk on the side, picked up the dry brush and dipped it in some ink, and wrote hard.
After a while, he handed a bamboo slip with the contents written on it to Lu Bu, "Lord Yue, what do you say would happen if Lu Bu found this letter from a suspicious vendor?" ”
A few strokes, the content is very simple, Lu Bu seized my city, deceived people too much, willing to vote for Cao Gong, please Cao Gong quickly send troops, we will attack Xuzhou together.
Although he was watching the letter written by Lin Mo with his own eyes, Lu Bu's heart still trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes sank slightly.
He didn't explain, but he knew in his heart that if this letter was really found from a suspicious dealer as Lin Mo said, then Liu Bei's death time would come.
He will lead a large army to attack Xiaopei, and once he loses Liu Bei's guard, Cao Cao's army is bound to be able to drive straight in.
This divisive plan is indeed clever.
"Wen Hou may not be able to see through it, but don't forget, Chen Gong and Chen Deng beside him, both of them are resourceful, and they may not be able to hide from them." Lu Bu pulled the corners of his mouth unconvinced.
"Master Yue-in-law thinks highly of them."
Lin Mo could see that although 'Zhang Xing' did not admit defeat on his lips, he actually agreed in his heart, and it seemed that the purpose of appearing in front of people had also been achieved, so he simply relaxed and sat directly next to Lu Bu.
"Chen Gongtai is wise and late, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see the mystery for a while; Chen Yuanlong is different, he will only think about the future of the Chen family, how can he sincerely give advice to Lu Bu.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the two of them see through it, does Master Yuezhang think that with Lu Bu's stubborn and self-serving character, he will listen to them? ”
Lu Bu's heart tightened, and his head seemed to be hit hard.
The words are not good, but I can't find any flaws.
Yes, if this letter is 'accidentally' seized by himself, whoever will persuade him will definitely think that the other party is secretly communicating with Liu Bei.
Unexpectedly, Xuzhou City, which he prides himself on being impregnable, actually broke the situation just under a letter from this kid.
Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo in a daze, this kid is not simple.
Thinking about it, Lingqi has been cautious and angry, how can ordinary people win her heart.
It's a pity that it's a cheap person, if there are some portals that can help me, it may not be able to fulfill him.
It is undeniable that after some conversation, Lin Mo has earned Lu Bu's favor, but in the end, it has not reached the point where he can let go.
Lu Bu stood up, paced twice in the hall and looked at Lin Mo, "You have some talents, what are your plans for the future?" ”
The trick of appearing in front of people is really useful.
Seeing that his future father-in-law's attitude had changed greatly, Lin Mo stopped holding it, and immediately stood up and said:
"I hope that Lord Yuezhang can promote filial piety and honesty for me, if I can dredge up my contacts, it is best to go to Xuchang to take up a post."
"Do you want to defect to Cao Cao?" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"At the moment, Cao Cao is our best choice." Lin Mo, who did not catch Lu Bu's unhappy expression, talked about the matter.
Lu Bu, who took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and looked at Lin Mo playfully after taking a sip of tea, "Fortunately, you are in Xuzhou at the moment, if you are in Caoying, with the plan just now, Xuzhou will really have a lot of trouble." ”
"That's not what I bragged to my father-in-law."
Lin Mo, who was more and more relaxed the more he talked, leaned over directly and said in a low voice: "If Cao Cao is willing to listen to me, just Lu Bu, I can use more than a dozen different means to make him break the city." ”
The manifestation was successful, Lin Mo felt that it was okay to exaggerate, if he didn't give him more confidence, how could he be willing to invest in himself in the future.
Lu Bu did not speak with a dark face, and his heart, which had finally calmed down, was stirred up with ripples.
Is my dignified Lu Bu so unbearable?
He wanted to burst into a shout, held up Lin Mo, and told him word by word, Lao Tzu, I am Lu Bu, what do you want!
But if he is really a talent, not only will Xuzhou be stable, but he will also have a promising future.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu walked to the door and turned his back to Lin Mo, "Let me think twice about this matter, even if I want to raise filial piety for you, I need to go back to Wen County, I still have to stay in Xuzhou for a few days, and then I will talk about it." ”
Lu Bu, who couldn't make up his mind for a while, decided to let it go first.
At present, he still often encounters all kinds of troublesome problems, and he just uses these problems to test Lin Mo.
If he was really a genius and had Lingqi tied up with him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Congratulations to my father-in-law."
It wasn't until Lu Bu left the courtyard that Lin Mo let out a long breath.
Even if it hasn't happened yet, this plan just now is the best policy, and he can be so calm.
originally thought that after this contact, 'Zhang Xing' would happily take him back to Wenxian County, and then devote himself to cultivating himself with his family heritage.
After all, if he is a son-in-law, he will be prosperous in the future, which will also be of great benefit to the Zhang family.
I didn't expect him to continue the test.
Lin Mo stretched his waist, or not, after all, he took the first step, which was much better than being driven around.
Moreover, in addition to the Battle of Xuzhou, there are also the Battle of Guandu, the Jade Belt Edict, and the Battle of Chibi, there are more opportunities to earn meritorious service, and Lin Mo is not in a hurry for a while.
After collecting his divergent thoughts, he walked to the osmanthus tree, picked up the knife on the side, and polished and carved a piece of woodwork.
"When the time comes, I will use this thing to Cao Cao as a meeting gift, which is enough to elevate my status to the point of participating in the military and political discussions."
